Chapter 178: Chapter 171: The Last One Eliminated

Lin Tao shook his head innocently, "I passed it to Luan Yi after copying."

He turned back to Luan Yi and said, "Is it with you? Weren’t you the last one who had it?"

Luan Yi sat indifferently, as if the matter did not concern her, "How would I know, didn’t I give it back to you?"

"When did you give it back to me?" Lin Tao looked at her in surprise.

"I did give it back to you, I even said thank you," Luan Yi insisted it was Lin Tao who had it.

Lin Tao, a timid boy, knowing she was Qi Meihui’s niece, dared not argue with her even if he felt aggrieved, so he could only swallow his pride, turned around, and apologetically said to Gu Qili, "I’m sorry, I really don’t know where the notes ended up, let’s look around."

Just as everyone was about to stand up to search, Gu Qili glanced at the calmly sitting Luan Yi, "Forget it, if someone intended to take it, we won’t be able to find it, and we can’t search their person either."

"But those are the notes you worked so hard on, and we need them for the test this afternoon." The chaos earlier meant that nobody had copied much before the notes were lost.

"It’s okay." Gu Qili smiled and comforted everyone, "Since someone likes them, just let them take it to burn as paper money."

Luan Yi glared fiercely at her and put on her headphones to start listening to music.

In the afternoon, the instructor came to explain some key points before preparing to start the exam.

"The last placed in this exam will have to leave this training course as it invariably does not need the tail-enders."

At this, everyone became nervous, rubbing their hands preparing to give their best.

Although the test was not as formal as in schools, where seats had to be separated, with the instructor and Qi Meihui supervising the exam, everyone dared not misbehave and could only answer on their own.

Luan Yi actually hadn’t paid attention at all, she was here to experience life and gather material, not really to become a humble service worker. During the lecture, she had been reading novels on her phone the whole time, so she couldn’t answer a single question on the paper.

Gu Qili bent over her paper for a while; from the corner of her eye, she noticed Luan Yi biting her pen cap, having not written a word for ages. This expression was all too familiar — it was the look of someone unable to answer the questions.

Gu Qili initially just snorted in disdain, but then she remembered her mysteriously missing notes...

"Oh no." The cup in front of Gu Qili suddenly tipped over, spilling water over, drenching most of her paper. She quickly stood up with the wet paper, shaking off the water.

"What happened?" The instructor noticed and approached.

Zhu Ping was helping Gu Qili tidy her desk; she had been working on her paper when Gu Qili’s cup tipped over.

Gu Qili holding the water-stained paper said, "Teacher, please give me another paper, this one can’t be used anymore."

The instructor glanced at it, turned around and got a new paper for her, "Hurry up and answer, half the time has passed."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Gu Qili took the new paper and sat down, placing the old paper under the sunlight on the windowsill.

Two hours later, everyone started handing in their papers. Once the papers were collected, everyone dispersed to rest.

Luan Yi took advantage of the moment when nobody was paying attention and ran to Qi Meihui, "Auntie."

"What is it?" Qi Meihui always doted on this niece and immediately smiled.

Luan Yi pouted, "I didn’t pay attention during the lecture, and I haven’t filled much of the paper. I’m worried I might embarrass you if the scores are announced, and I don’t want to be eliminated now."

Qi Meihui tapped her forehead, albeit annoyed she still indulgently said, "You, why couldn’t you pay attention during the lecture? If you score the lowest, where will I put my face?"

"Auntie, think of something for me!"

Qi Meihui sighed, "I’ll think of something, go back for now."

"Thanks, aunt, you’re the best." She was so carefree about not paying attention because she knew Qi Meihui would fix anything for her.

After Luan Yi left, Qi Meihui walked to the back room, where all the test papers were on an office desk, also the instructor’s temporary resting place.

The instructor who had been supervising exited to use the restroom, and with no one in the room, Qi Meihui found Gu Qili’s paper among the others, quickly took a pen, erased her name, and changed it to Luan Yi’s, then pulled out Luan Yi’s paper from the stack.

After finishing everything, as she was leaving, the instructor just returned and nodded at her, "Manager Qi, is there something?"

"It’s nothing much, just wanted to ask how these new employees performed?" Qi Meihui looked composed.
