Although You Yifan held a position in the military and didn't seem flamboyant in his daily life, he and his family secretly controlled many well-known trading companies in the port. The manager who had the accident was a crucial cash flow transfer station for the You family. That's why You Yifan appeared so distraught when the man was kidnapped.

However, this matter was beyond Su Tianyu's concern. He wasn't one of You Yifan's people, and Yu Mingyuan's relationship with the other party was just a collaboration, so he didn't need to share every burden for him.

After giving their statements at the Zhan Nan District Police Department, You Yifan bid farewell to Yu Mingyuan and the others and hurriedly left, presumably to deal with the kidnapping of the manager.

Yu Mingyuan couldn't intervene, and You Yifan didn't intend to discuss it with him in detail, so they chatted for a while at the entrance and prepared to leave. As for the remaining issues, the important figures of the You family would naturally take care of them.

On the way back, Yu Mingyuan noticed that Su Tiannan was very silent and specifically tried to comfort him, repeatedly saying not to pay attention to what You Chengcheng said. Because in their cooperation, that woman didn't have much say, so he told Su Tiannan not to argue with her; it wasn't necessary.

Su Tiannan looked very silent, but in reality, he didn't have any psychological burden about it, because he never thought his choice was wrong. Given the situation at the time, they didn't know how many people the other party had, and Su Miaomiao was still in the car, so he would never let his sister take risks with him.

The banquet, which had started with a good atmosphere, ended hastily after the You family's incident. It was said that Gui Mengjun, after learning about this, actually booked a flight and planned to return tomorrow. His reaction was enough to show that with the exhibition about to begin, undercurrents were already surging in the circle.

...

In the following days, Su Tianyu secluded himself, diligently studying past exam questions for the Coast Guard team, because the civil service exam was about to begin, and he had to take the written test.

During this time, Gou Liuzi didn't go to the association, nor did he continue to build relationships with Yu Mingyuan, focusing solely on hugging his computer and frantically studying materials.

Fortunately, Gou Liuzi was young, and hadn't been out of military academy for too long, so his peak learning ability hadn't passed, and he learned quickly.

In a flash, ten days passed. On September 1st, the first round of the civil service exam began. Su Tianyu was assigned to the third examination hall next to the Municipal Building. There were about one hundred test-takers in the same period, divided into three examination rooms.

At 9:30 AM, the exam began. The topics and core of the first exam were all centered around politics, which Su Tianyu found easy to handle. Because when he took the exam for the Army University, there were similar papers, and the difficulty of the former couldn't compare to that of the Army University.

The first exam ended quickly, and Su Tianyu was satisfied with his performance. He left the examination hall at noon and went to a snack bar across the street, where he devoured three bowls of spicy soup and two servings of mutton paomo, and continued his efforts in the afternoon.

The second exam was a paper given by the Coast Guard team. Although some of the professional questions were more difficult, Su Tianyu was well-prepared and managed to cope without too many setbacks.

In fact, under normal circumstances, given the current relationship between Su Tianyu and Li Mingsheng, the latter could have slightly indicated, and he might have obtained the Coast Guard team's exam questions before the written test. Because the current social situation in Dragon City was such that as long as you had power and money, you could manipulate anything outrageous.

But Li Mingsheng perhaps intentionally wanted to test Gou Liuzi, so he didn't instruct Li Yuan to take care of him during the written test phase. And Su Tianyu himself was holding his breath, thinking that since you want to test my mettle, then I'll have to score well and show you.

Some people may not be clear about what kind of exam questions a unit like the Coast Guard gives. In fact, the topics in this category of exams are very broad.

For example, a multiple-choice question might ask: What date was the first Coast Guard team in Dragon City officially given its flag? Below, there would be four specific dates to choose from. Furthermore, the written test might give you real case examples, and then give you a very limited choice environment, asking you to make a decision on an urgent event.

This type of question was no different from the police recruitment exams around the world before the Era of the Century. The questions were broad and very random, so this paper heavily relied on knowledge reserves and learning ability.

Gou Liuzi, in order to prove himself, also took the exam sweating profusely, his heart pounding.

After the second exam, Su Tianyu immediately went out and found Da Bai, starting a city-wide rampage of fun, not returning home until midnight.

In the following two days, Su Tianyu took four more exams in a row, with overall stable performance.

...

September 5th.

Li Mingsheng finished the weekly meeting, holding a teacup, and walked out of the conference room with measured steps.

Behind him, Li Yuan said very understandingly, "The results of the civil service exam are out, but they haven't been announced yet."

Li Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Ah, I forgot, Xiao Su has finished the exam, right?"

"Yes, he has finished the exam."

"How were the results?" Li Mingsheng asked casually as he walked.

Li Yuan paused slightly, "Better than I thought."

"Oh?" Li Mingsheng raised his eyebrows, "How so?"

"First place in Zhan Nan District out of one thousand four hundred people. The city-wide ranking hasn't been calculated yet, but he can probably rank in the top fifty." Li Yuan replied with a light smile, "Mainly because there are more 'talents' in Longkou, who occupied many spots, otherwise Xiao Su's ranking could have been higher."

"Haha!" Li Mingsheng laughed, "This kid is not bad, didn't brag. For a roughneck from the military, it's quite good to have this result."

"Yes, yes. I talked to him a few days ago. Mainly, he has a lot of trivial matters recently, and he has less time to study, otherwise he could have scored even better." Li Yuan grinned, "His learning ability is indeed very strong, after all, he is a graduate of the Army University!"

"You're getting quite close to him?" Li Mingsheng instantly grasped the key point.

Hearing this, Li Yuan thought to himself, "This capitalist life is corrupting me! Su Tianyu just found himself a few women, and I can't help but speak up for him already!"

"I naturally have to pay attention to the people you're paying attention to," Li Yuan cleverly replied.

Li Mingsheng glanced at Li Yuan, "It's good to have contact, but be careful to protect your crotch!"

"...Leader, don't joke around."

"Haha!" Li Mingsheng pointed out the issue and didn't mention it again, only walking away and adding, "Since he has this ability, then you should take care of him if you should."

"Understood, Leader!"

...

September 12th, the results of the written test were released, and Su Tianyu received an interview call from the Coast Guard team.

After so much maneuvering, Su Tianyu had finally touched the door of the system!
