Having achieved financial freedom, I reorganized my workplace.

Chapter 23 Perfect Calculation

Lin Chen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep—all because of Chen Lei.

This guy showed no sign of wanting to sleep; he was engrossed in the set of questions.

Under the dim light of the table lamp, he cut a sheet of A4 paper into squares the size of matchboxes, one after another, covering the entire table. Then he bent down, almost pressing his face against the paper, and carefully and meticulously moved the answers onto the small squares, stroke by stroke.

The words were so small that Lin Chen had to squint to peek at them; it was like writing a love letter to an ant.

"I give up..." Lin Chen pretended to get up in the middle of the night, and after stealing a few glances, he thought to himself that this guy was a pervert.

This isn't cheating; this is miniature art.

They already had the questions in advance, so why not just memorize them and be done with it? Instead, they had to pull this stunt. It's really something else.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh: With this kind of perseverance used on the right path, what problem can't be solved?

Chen Lei didn't think so. Time was too tight, and forcing himself to memorize it was risky and prone to errors.

His uncle had warned him long ago: "Connections are there to help you, but you still have to wade through the water yourself. Don't let others push you and you can't move them."

Indeed, if you are dry and have no fat at all, no matter how hard someone tries, they can't squeeze any out.

Lin Chen didn't know what time he fell asleep. When he woke up at seven o'clock, Chen Lei's bed was already empty. Wow, he stayed up until three or four o'clock last night. Does this person not need to recharge?

However, Lin Chen got used to it; in university, he was also elusive and rarely seen.

The exam was scheduled to start at 8:30, so there was still plenty of time. Lin Chen leisurely ate his breakfast, then flipped through the exam papers he had secretly photographed the night before on his phone for a while before confidently strolling into the exam room.

He had never been so well-prepared for an exam in his life. He went into battle with the answers in hand, and his mind was incredibly calm.

Examination seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

When he arrived, all the "feng shui treasure spots" where he could hide and conceal himself against the wall or in the corner had already been taken, leaving only the few spots in the middle directly in front of the cameras empty.

This is a position that most people would keep at a distance.

Lin Chen didn't care, he already had the answer in his heart. Just as he was about to pull out a chair, Chen Lei suddenly appeared out of nowhere:

"Lin Chen! Over here! Come here, this spot was reserved especially for you."

Without saying a word, he grabbed Lin Chen and pulled him over, his face full of enthusiasm as if to say, "Am I being a good friend?"

Here we go again.

Lin Chen glanced at the spot and realized it was indeed a tricky location—the camera couldn't capture the whole thing, and the proctor couldn't easily patrol it; it was a prime spot for cheating, and the proctor was sitting right behind him, looking like he was watching him intently.

Chen Lei rushed in at six in the morning to reserve a seat, without even eating breakfast.

In his view, all unstable factors must be controlled.

This scene inevitably reminded Lin Chen of his university days, when this bastard was the same way. It was obvious that he was just taking it for granted and wanting to be his cheat code again. A leopard can't change its spots.

Lin Chen had an idea.

The proctors arrived, two men, one wearing glasses and the other not. The one with glasses had a very serious expression and scolded everyone to hand over their phones and materials.

The teachers proctoring the written exam are not the examiners for the practical exam; they are teachers from the training base. They generally don't have much of a vested interest in the exam and are therefore quite impartial.

The examiner, who wasn't wearing glasses, read out the exam rules. One rule that Lin Chen heard clearly was that anyone caught cheating would be disqualified from the exam and barred from taking any advanced qualification exams for the next three years.

When Lin Chen read this rule, he clearly heard many people shudder.

Chen Lei gasped in shock.

Ha ha.

After reading out the exam rules, the man with glasses took out an exam paper, showed it to the candidates, and said confidently.

"Take a look, everyone. We only received the exam questions last night, and the exam papers are unopened, so absolutely no one could know the questions in advance, ensuring fairness and impartiality."

Hehe, I chuckled to myself when I heard that.

Fair and just? Nobody knew beforehand? Someone had already thoroughly analyzed your exam papers.

I refuse to believe that Chen Lei's set of papers wasn't an exam paper.

The curling test came out, and when I looked at it, holy crap.

They're not just similar, they're practically identical.

The exam began, and everyone buried themselves in answering the questions.

Most examiners will find a place to sit down and then go play on their phones.

After all, an exam lasts an hour and a half, which is quite a long time.

These two examiners, though young and dedicated, kept wandering around the entire examination room without ever sitting down. You'd think they were there to rack up their Ant Forest steps.

Chen Lei stared at the examiner, trying several times to take out his cheat sheet to copy, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

Finally, the examiners got tired and sat down. The examiner with glasses actually pulled up a chair and sat directly behind Chen Lei.

Nia paralysis.

Chen Lei cursed inwardly.

He dared not take the risk.

An hour later, people handed in their papers one after another, looking very relaxed. Lin Chen also finished and stretched.

At that moment, I felt the chair being kicked.

This is a signal from Chen Lei.

That's how it was in college; they'd make Lin Chen unfold the exam paper so he could copy it.

Chen Lei has a hidden advantage that no one knows about: his eyesight is incredibly strong. He can see clearly even from a seat away.

Lin Chen, of course, did not do as he wished. He simply folded up the test paper and refused to hand it in, wanting to see what other tricks Lin Chen could come up with.

"Twenty minutes left." The examiner, who wasn't wearing glasses, said when there was no further information.

Chen Lei got impatient and kicked Lin Chen's back a few times, but Lin Chen remained unmoved, only showing him his lonely back.

Chen Lei couldn't take it anymore; he was so anxious he raised his hand.

The examiner with glasses: "What are you doing?"

Chen Lei: "Teacher, I need to go to the toilet, it's urgent."

The examiner with glasses said, "No, it's against exam rules that you can't go to the toilet."

Chen Lei: "What if I poop it out?"

The examiner with glasses said, "You can leave now, but please hand in your exam paper first."

Chen Lei: "Could you make an exception for me?"

The examiner with glasses said, "If you continue talking, you should hand in your paper."

Selfless and boundless in love, you look so handsome with glasses.

But at that very moment...

A commotion broke out in another corner, apparently someone was cheating, and the examiner wearing glasses quickly got up and went over.

Damn, are there shills involved?

In fact, Chen Lei did tell someone in another corner that when he raised his hand to attract the examiner's attention, he was actually creating opportunities for others.

This is not just an exam; it's a contest of humanity, connections, resources, and courage.

One move affects the whole situation.

Once the examiner left, this angle seemed to be unsealed.

Chen Lei took the lead; he had been waiting for this opportunity for too long. He quickly took out the small piece of paper he had prepared and frantically copied it down.

At that moment, his writing speed was comparable to Liu Xiang's.

Even high-speed cameras can't capture hand-speed.

That's utterly heartless.

Of course, it wasn't just him; a classmate on the left took out his phone and started searching for answers.

He didn't hand in his cell phone. No, wait, he had two cell phones.

The girl on the right had a very large bust, which was practically exposed on the table. Lin Chen had been watching her for a long time.

She lifted her skirt, revealing her pale, white thighs.

What are you doing?

His thighs were covered with answers, densely packed together.
