On September 23, Li Wei packed up a few things and prepared to go to the provincial capital to prepare for the exam.
On the 24th, she walked into the TV station with relevant documents. There were only about twenty positions recruited this time. Unexpectedly, hundreds of people came to apply. It is not easy to stand out among these hundreds of people. But having come this far, there is no turning back.
The person who invigilated the exam was someone from the TV station. Sitting in an unfamiliar exam room, Li Wei remembered all the books he had read and the answers he had memorized from the moment the exam papers were handed out.
The content of the test is not very broad, and the pressure is far less than during the college entrance examination. As long as you deal with it calmly, it will be fine. Li Wei finished answering the questions unusually calmly, and the rest of the time was just waiting.
There was nothing else to do the next day, so she went to watch a movie alone. After coming out of the cinema, I caught a bus and sat from the starting station to the final station to kill the boring time.
On the afternoon of the 26th, Li Wei found her name on the TV station's list. She successfully entered the interview list, which was half successful.
On the day of the 27th, Li Wei wore an iron-gray suit skirt and a scarf and walked into the door of the TV station again. They were interviewed by the deputy director of the TV station and the heads of various departments. There are five examiners in total.
Sitting in front of these people, Li Wei seemed to have returned to the situation in early 1994 when she and her elder brother went to Nanyin to take the art exam.
The deputy director took a look at the resume submitted by Li Wei. Although he had just graduated, he still had certain qualifications. The deputy director started the first question.
"Li Wei, your resume says that you once interned at Lincheng Satellite TV. Why didn't you stay at that TV station? You must know that Lincheng Satellite TV's ratings and audience range are much larger than our TV station."
Li Wei also answered truthfully: "In fact, the leader asked me to stay after the internship, but because the establishment was full, I only received the salary of a temporary worker. Thinking that I am still young and still have the strength to work hard, don't waste it on The endless wait.”
Another minister said: "We have watched the program you hosted, and it is relatively calm. Although it is news, it also has a certain style, which is rare."
One year of internship in Lincheng has become Li Wei's most valuable asset in the blink of an eye.
The entire interview was relatively relaxed and simple. The leaders routinely asked Li Wei several questions, and Li Wei would think carefully before answering each question. The whole interview only lasted about ten minutes. When the leader told her she could leave, Li Wei stood up, bowed to several people and walked out.
The deputy director made a mark with a pencil on Li Wei's resume, and then called the next person.
After the interview, Li Wei returned to Huiliang. The TV station would call to inform her of the result, but she left her home phone number.
Although her parents were angry with her over Li Wei's resignation, and Li Minghua even beat her, the whole family kept it in mind when encountering such an important exam, and talked about it for several days. Now that she has finally come back, everyone comes to care about her.
"How is it? How confident are you?"
Li Wei said: "It's hard to tell, it's just so-so."
Upon seeing this, Liu Chunzhi felt that there was not much hope left, so she had to think of other ways. At noon on the 29th, Li Wei received a call from the provincial capital TV station telling her that she had been successfully admitted. Li Wei hung up the phone and jumped on the spot a few times. When Yang Man came in, she ran forward and gave Yang Man a big hug.
Although Li Wei didn't say anything, Yang Man had already anticipated it and said with a smile: "Are you successful?"
Li Wei also said with joy: "Yes, I finally took the right step." Life is like this. If you haven't tried it, how can you say that it will not work? Success will not fall from the sky, but you have to fight for it yourself.
It didn't take long for the good news to spread among the family. Everyone was happy for Li Wei.
"Have you decided which column it will be?"
Li Weidao: "Not yet, I just said that after successful admission, you will be asked to go to the designated hospital for a physical examination. After passing the physical examination, you can officially join the job. We will only know which column you will be assigned to."
No matter which column she joins or what position she decides to take, Liu Chunzhi finally has something to worry about. She became warm to her daughter again and gave Li Wei a coupon, which was a sum of money she had accumulated over the years. Li Wei glanced at the number above, it was more than two thousand yuan.
"Mom, why did you give me this?"
"Take it, you don't have a job here, and you don't have any money. Later you will need to rent a house, eat, and you will need money for everything. Instead of waiting for you to ask, I might as well give it to you first. But as promised, I can only take out these now , you save some flowers.”
Li Wei finally accepted the fold, knowing that it was her mother's kindness.
The eldest son is already married. Although the daughter-in-law is not too satisfied, it is not too bad. Let's make do with it. The remaining daughter, Liu Chunzhi, naturally hopes that Li Wei will have a stable job and then find a reliable boyfriend. Stability is the most important thing for a girl. This way there is nothing to worry about.
Li Wei helped clean the hot spring pool and tidied up the guest room. When she walked downstairs with a large garbage bag in one hand, she found her father standing at the stairs. Li Wei silently threw the garbage bag into the garbage room, and when she came back, she saw her father was still there.
"dad!"
Li Minghua turned around and said to Li Wei, "Come here for a moment."
For some reason, Li Wei had no choice but to follow his father to the kitchen.
Li Minghua glanced at his daughter and remembered the slap he had given her. He had struck her a little too hard that day, but he was also extremely angry at that time. But as a father, he seemed to be unable to lose face when he was asked to apologize to his daughter.
Li Minghua was not a very good talker, so he called his daughter over and did not speak for a long time.
"Dad, what can you do?"
"Well... when you arrive at the new unit, you have to work hard and don't cause trouble to your colleagues. Do your own thing seriously." Li Minghua was silent for a long time and choked out this sentence.
Li Wei nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Li Minghua added: "If you need our help, just ask, don't keep everything in your heart. If you have anything to discuss with us."
Li Wei agreed again.
Li Minghua ran out of words again, glanced at his daughter before nodding and said: "I have nothing more to say, you go ahead."
Li Wei glanced at his father in front of him in confusion. His life had become a little more prosperous in recent years, and the burden of the family fell on his eldest brother's shoulders, but his father was still much older.
"Dad... you have to take good care of yourself."
"I know." Li Minghua seemed a little impatient.
Li Minghua was just a simple farmer with little knowledge or education. Compared to the father in the Shangshu Mansion, he didn't have much to offer his children. Li Minghua is a bit honest and dull, and sometimes old-fashioned and pedantic, but she does not dislike having such a father.
