Chapter 513: a.s.sessment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, the stronger the bond between Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin grew, the more she found herself desiring to bring their child into the world.
She couldn’t quite explain the s.h.i.+ft in her feelings.
There was just a sense that their child would embody the best qualities of both Su Bin and herself, perhaps even surpa.s.sing them.
The thought of a miniature version of the two of them, exquisitely combined, brought her joy.
“Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Su Bin inquired.
Blus.h.i.+ng, Qin Zhenzhen admitted, “I wanted to share it with you earlier, but I didn’t antic.i.p.ate it happening so swiftly. I did some calculations—it hadn’t even been a month since I discontinued the measures.’
Su Bin, finding the situation almost magical, exclaimed, “It’s truly unbelievable!”
Less than a month had pa.s.sed since the fake pregnancy ruse, making the timing quite extraordinary.
Rolling her eyes, Qin Zhenzhen retorted, “Why is that so hard to believe?” “Considering your reluctance to spend the night, you should be aware that frequent intimacy enhances the chances of conceiving during pregnancy preparation. ”
Unexpectedly swift results had caught her off guard, and she decided to keep this particular piece of knowledge from Su Bin for the time being, intending to discuss their plans for the next child later.
The following day, the fifty young men who had successfully pa.s.sed the initial round gathered at the government office early, eagerly antic.i.p.ating the upcoming a.s.sessment.
To their surprise, the government office was bustling with activity. Workers were transporting repair materials—sand, stones, tiles—and skilled craftsmen focused on the task of renovating the entire premises.
Liu Dazhuang, Poxed Face w.a.n.g, and the others were already on site, overseeing the placement of materials and instructing the workers.
It was evident that Governor Su had allocated a considerable sum for these renovations, displaying his wealth and influence.
The decision to align themselves with Governor Su seemed justified.
However, confusion arose among the young men as they had arrived early for the a.s.sessment, not expecting a construction scene.
Approaching Liu Dazhuang and Poxed Face w.a.n.g, they inquired, “Are we still having the a.s.sessment today?”
Poxed Face w.a.n.g affirmed, “Of course. Who said there won’t be an a.s.sessment?”
He pointed towards Governor Su and Mr. Chen, indicating that they should line up and wait for Su Bin to announce the a.s.sessment details.
It seemed the repairs were merely a prelude to the actual a.s.sessment.
Governor Su, elated due to impending fatherhood, was in an exceptionally good mood.
“Today’s a.s.sessment is a bit unconventional.”
“Mr. Chen, please explain the plan.”
Mr. Chen proceeded to outline the strategy he had devised in consultation with Su Bin.
“As you can see, the government office is commencing repairs starting today. While the materials and master craftsmen are ready, we’re in need of additional labor.”
“Governor Su wishes for you to a.s.sist with these tasks, considering it as part of your a.s.sessment.”
“I’ve consulted the hired master, and the repair work is expected to take about ten days.”
“For the a.s.sessment, there will be two temporary stages. The first stage lasts for five days, during which half of the partic.i.p.ants will be eliminated.”
“The second stage is also five days, concluding when the government office repairs are complete, leading to the elimination of another half of the partic.i.p.ants. The final results will be announced.”
“As for your tasks, please follow the instructions of Liu Dazhuang, Poxed Face w.a.n.g, and the repair master.”
The fifty young men couldn’t help but exchange whispers.
“Are we turning into free handymen once again?”
“We’ve been working for them for ten days without knowing if we get to stay. It feels like a considerable loss.
“They say Governor Su’s Mr. Chen is influential. Well, this plan does show his influence in action..
