Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 7 Like father, like son

"Ding, congratulations host, you have completed the mission 'Clothes make the man, gold makes the Buddha'."

"Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully obtained a mission gift pack."

"Ding, would you like to open the mission gift pack?"

"Open it!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained a case of 24 bottles of Funeral Cola (550ml each)!"

"Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully obtained a 500ml bottle of Heart Soaring Shampoo."

Looking at the two extra boxes, one large and one small, in his personal space.

Summer's mood is neither good nor bad.

After all, these two things are better than nothing.

Touching the two Zhongshan suits in his arms, Xia Tian walked home.

As soon as I got home, the system's voice came again.

"Ding, it has been detected that the host has received a college admission notice."

"Please report to the school corresponding to your admission notice on the designated registration day!"

The moment Xia Tian heard the system's voice, she sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

"Holy crap, he's really going to college?"

Xia Tian had actually been preparing for going to university for some time.

After all, the first task issued by this idiot system was the college entrance examination.

Having passed the exams, I'm definitely going to go to university.

However, the system never mentioned it, so Xia Tian pretended not to know.

Now that the system has brought it up...

It is impossible to refuse.

If you refuse this task, given the system's usual behavior...

They will probably reject their own rejection request.

It's better to accept it sooner rather than later than to be rejected by the system.

"System, I accept the mission."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the mission."

"To help the host better experience university life."

"All expenses and consumption incurred by the host during university will be fully reimbursed by this system."

"Holy crap, system, you're so generous!"

"I knew it! This is the right way to use the system!"

Listening to the system's voice in the summer is like listening to heavenly music.

"We ordinary people are truly happy today!"

Summer hummed a little tune as she arrived at the Personnel Management Office of Beiping City.

"Hello, sir!"

Summer skillfully pulled out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to the gatekeeper at the personnel management office.

I bought this cigarette specifically for social interactions during the summer.

Although people on Blue Star smoke in the summer, they are not addicted.

Before high school, summers were a very frugal time for me.

After entering university, I applied for a student grant and scholarship.

Summer days have finally become much easier.

As for smoking, I learned it from the rebellious son in my dorm.

Several of the unruly kids in the dorm smoke.

This happened gradually.

Summer gradually learned to smoke.

"Who are you looking for, young man?"

The old man looked at Xia Tian's unfamiliar face, and then at the Daqianmen cigarette that Xia Tian offered him.

The old man did not accept Xia Tian's cigarette, but instead asked another question with a wary expression.

“Yes, sir, I’m Xia Tian from Maoer Hutong in Dongcheng.”

"I'm here today to see Wang Xinping, the clerk."

"I have something I need him to handle!"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, the old man's wary expression relaxed considerably.

"You're here to see Xiao Wang!"

"Yes, sir!"

Xia Tian handed over the Daqianmen cigarettes he was holding again.

The old man glanced at the cigarette in Xia Tian's hand and took it.

"Go inside and look for it!"

"Yes, sir. I also wanted to ask where Officer Wang's office is?"

"Go through the main door, it's the second office on the left in the first row!"

The old man said something, perhaps out of respect for Daqianmen.

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

Xia Tian thanked the old man at the door and stepped into the office.

Soon, Xia Tian arrived at the office the old man had mentioned.

The office door was open.

Xia Tian spotted Wang Xinping sitting at his desk immediately.

There were other staff members in the office, but everyone was busy.

Summer stopped and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Someone, after hearing the knock, said, "Come in."

Everyone in the office stopped what they were doing when they heard the knock on the door.

I looked up at the summer that had just arrived.

"Young man, who are you looking for..."

One of the officers who was closer to the entrance looked at Xia Tian and asked her a question.

Before he could finish asking the question, Wang Xinping interrupted him.

Xia, what brings you here?

Xia Tian smiled sheepishly at the officer who had spoken.

"I'm looking for Officer Wang!"

The officer had obviously heard Wang Xinping's words and glanced at Xia Tian again.

She ignored him and continued with her own work.

"Uncle Wang!"

Xia Tian walked quickly up to Wang Xinping and greeted him.

"Xia, come and sit down. Is something wrong?"

"Uncle Wang, didn't you say you'd arranged a job for me a couple of days ago? I probably won't be able to go."

Xia Tian got straight to the point and told Wang Xinping about it.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Wang Xinping frowned when he heard Xia Tian's words, thinking that something had happened to him.

After all, this was the only son left behind by his old regimental commander.

If something were to happen to him, how would he face his old commander after he passed away?

"Well, Uncle Wang, I took the college entrance exam a couple of days ago!"

"I was lucky to get accepted."

"So I'm thinking of going to university, which means I can't work!"

"What? You got into university?"

Upon hearing this news, Wang Xinping's voice involuntarily rose.

Everyone in the office looked over when they heard this.

"Yes, Uncle Wang, I didn't mean to..."

Summer smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah!"

Wang Xinping didn't hear what Xia Tian was saying at all.

He's now completely overwhelmed by this unexpected good news.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!"

Xia Tian looked at Wang Xinping's silly grin and called out twice more.

Wang Xinping then slowly came to his senses.

"Xia, well done!"

He knew that his old regimental commander's son was a good man.

Like father, like son; he sells scallions, and his son sells garlic.

The old saying is indeed true.

"Good good!"

Wang Xinping said "good" three times in a row.

"Xia, you should go back now!"

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian exchanged a few more polite words with Wang Xinping before turning and leaving.

Xia Tian didn't know Wang Xinping's identity; she only had such a person in her memory.

In addition, Wang Xinping was among the people who organized the distribution of living supplies to him over the past few months.

Xia Tian also knew that he was from the personnel management department, and that he was the one who was going to arrange a job for him.

That's why Xia Tian naturally came to find Wang Xinping.

"Old Wang, who was that just now?"

After Xia Tian left, the atmosphere in the office became a little strange.

Finally, someone couldn't help but speak up.
