Chapter 5

On exam day, I was hungry and exhausted, my nose tingling with the urge to cry.

With dark circles under my eyes and my bag on my back, I waited for them to come get their things.

Thanks to them, I had crammed all the key knowledge points overnight. Now all the exam points were practically carved into my brain, impossible to shake off.

"Didn't sleep well last night? You're not going to fall asleep in the exam room, are you? How embarrassing!"

Chloe deliberately bumped my shoulder with ill intent.

Ethan followed right behind, directly grabbing my bag to check if the materials were prepared properly.

Two minutes later, he showed a satisfied expression.

"Smart of you."

After the cheat materials were distributed, all the colleagues walked into the exam room with their heads held high, certain of victory.

"Did you pick out positions yesterday? There are still too few good positions. None that I like."

"Well, I've decided to test into Division A. I heard their year-end bonus is a hundred thousand."

"A hundred thousand? I straight up promised my mom yesterday I'd get first place. Already ordered a new car!"

"Did you hear? After the exam, Ethan is going to officially announce his relationship with Chloe!"

"Wow! Double happiness!"

Their laughter buzzed around my ears like flies.

So annoying.

And my mind at this moment was completely filled with the knowledge I desperately memorized last night.

It was time for the inspection. I nervously stepped up, and the proctor dumped everything out of my bag one by one.

Even the small tissue packages were opened and inspected one by one.

"No problems. Go in."

Hearing this, I felt like I'd received a pardon from death.

Chloe and her group behind me also breathed a sigh of relief, queuing up for the proctor to inspect them.

"What's this?"

The proctor opened a tissue package, casually picked up one sheet, and asked with a frown.

Chloe's back went cold.

"Proctor, this is a personal hygiene product..."

"That's not right, is it?"

The proctor unfolded the packaging paper. Neat handwriting densely covered the entire surface
