Chapter 179 The Confused Little Fairy Remarries Her Father-like God 4

Chu Yuan did not return to her so-called maternal home.

This world is different from the previous one. The original owner's background is very clear. His parents were rather ruthless, but not the worst kind of incestuous.

The original owner was the third daughter in her family. She had two older sisters, two younger sisters, and a younger brother who was about ten years old. Her parents raised all five of them with a clear goal: to save up for their son's wedding house and dowry.

Each person pays 80,000, a fixed price, non-refundable and no dowry provided.

Now that she and her two older sisters have all started their own families and given their dowries in full, their parents act as if they have no three daughters.

They like to go back to visit during holidays and have a peaceful meal together. It's okay if they don't go back; their parents have never taken the initiative to contact them.

Whether they will come to our door when our health deteriorates or we are plagued by illness remains to be seen.

Chu Yuan doesn't care much about this now.

Let's get the male lead first.

Knowing that Shen Xizhou would soon be promoted to the provincial court and become a department-level leader, Chu Yuan directly rented a house near the provincial court.

Lianjiang City is the provincial capital, and the provincial court and the district court where Shen Xizhou is now located are just in different districts.

Chu Yuan casts the net first; when the time is right, he will naturally be able to catch Shen Xizhou in the net.

Moreover, she was incredibly lucky. While browsing recruitment websites, she happened to see that the provincial court was recruiting contract-based court clerks with a minimum educational requirement of a junior college degree in the humanities. Wasn't this a perfect fit for Chu Yuan?

Why bother looking for any other crappy job? Let's just go for this one. If I can get assigned to the same department as Shen Xizhou, wouldn't that be awesome?

Office romance play-like scenarios sound exciting.

So, Chu Yuan carefully studied the recruitment notice. Although it was just a contract-based clerk position with low educational and skill requirements, the process was quite complicated.

Like civil servants, they have to go through five stages: written test, interview, political review, physical examination, and public announcement. If anything goes wrong at any stage, they will not be able to do the job.

The written exam tested legal knowledge, but Chu Yuan wasn't afraid. At worst, she could just memorize it. It was time to put her system's [Photographic Memory] item to use.

Moreover, once this prop is used, it remains effective in this dimension for a long time, and she will still need it when she takes adult undergraduate and postgraduate entrance exams later.

After the written test, there was a skills test to assess typing speed. The minimum requirement was 80 words per minute with an accuracy rate of no less than 95%. Chu Yuan found a document and tried it out. It was a piece of cake; she could type 110 words per minute.

No props are needed anymore.

As for the interview, she wasn't nervous at all. She had won an Oscar for acting, so she treated it as just an interview with the examiners.

Chu Yuan began preparing meticulously for the exam, ensuring everything went smoothly...

At the same time, the public notice period for Shen Xizhou was also running out.

After finishing the paperwork for several cases in the morning, Shen Xizhou was teased by his colleagues at lunchtime in the cafeteria. "Xizhou, you'll be going to the provincial procuratorate in a few days, right? Congratulations! We both got in at the same time, but you've climbed the ladder faster. A 34-year-old division-level cadre, you have a bright future ahead of you."

It's worth noting that many people, even in their forties, struggle to reach the division-level in government agencies; the deputy division-level is more common.

Shen Xizhou smiled modestly as always, picked up his tray, and found an empty seat to sit down.

He has mild social anxiety, doesn't like being in groups, and is not talkative. He is 34 years old and still unmarried, leading many to speculate that he may not like women.

Actually, he just prefers one person.

His father also worked in the political and legal system, at the Supreme People's Court in Beijing. Back then, his family pressured him to get married as soon as he graduated, which annoyed him, so he took the civil service exam in another city to avoid suffering under his parents' watchful eyes.

Being far away means out of sight, out of mind.

However, many of his colleagues were unaware of his background.

Those higher-ups definitely knew, otherwise, would they have promoted him step by step just because of his strong work ability?

As a result, not long after Shen Xizhou sat down, Jiang Yang, who had attended the trial of Chu Yuan's case with him that day, slammed down his plate and sat down next to Shen Xizhou.

After a few moments of smirking and winking, she nudged Chen Xizhou's arm before whispering, "So, have you been in contact with that silly young woman lately? That girl is so alluring, cute, and incredibly beautiful. Don't you have any ideas about her?"

Shen Xizhou said, "Eat your food and stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Yang said, "I'm serious. Don't look down on the young girl because it's not her first marriage. You're not young anymore, you're more than a decade older than her. If she's willing to be with you, it's already a good thing if she doesn't mind that your body parts are all worn out!"

Shen Xizhou said, "I've finished eating. You can eat slowly by yourself."

"Hey, why did you leave?"

Jiang Yang turned around and grabbed Shen Xizhou. They were the best of friends at work, true buddies. "Think carefully about what I'm saying. I'm definitely not trying to harm you."

That girl is so good, so young and obedient, and she knows how to protect you. She was a bit naive in the past, but it's not entirely her fault that she met the wrong person.

Besides, you were so angry during the court hearing that you immediately declared a divorce, which triggered extreme emotions in the husband and almost led to the divorce notice being taken down. Tell me, isn't that showing him chivalry?

Shen Xizhou lowered his head and slowly pried open Jiang Yang's fingers. "My affairs are none of your concern."

When he returned to his office, he couldn't calm down at all.

I couldn't resist picking up my phone and opening WeChat. My contacts included a total of seventy or eighty people, mostly classmates from different stages of my life, as well as some colleagues.

Everyone's nicknames were changed, with each name meticulously recorded.

Micro-businesses and strangers are strictly prohibited and absolutely impossible to exist.
