My girlfriend is from 1949

"ask?"

Zheng Changlin was stunned, not expecting the other party to make a request at this time.

I quickly weighed the options in my mind: should I agree to an unreasonable request?

However, recalling the Central Committee's reply last night during the report, which was "treat them with sincerity," I realized that...

Although I agreed, I added a clause that it would not violate any principles, thus preventing any excessive demands.

We will never agree to any demands that would cause losses to the people.

It's not that Zheng Changlin was being overly cautious; it was mainly because he felt disheartened by some things after listening to Lin Wan's report on future interpersonal relationships.

In particular, many of their unscrupulous actions would have been punishable by death a hundred times over in today's world.

But in that era, people took it for granted.

To avoid any major problems arising from the differences between the two sides, the principle is specifically emphasized.

The prevailing social atmosphere of today is vastly different from that of later generations.

Even eating a few meals would get you shot for being depraved!

Therefore, in order to avoid problems, some things must be made clear in advance to avoid hurting feelings later.

The older generation has a very strong sense of principle!

Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow, a look of delight appearing on his face.

He quickly laughed and said, "Absolutely not unless it violates principles!"

Lin Wan turned her head and asked kindly, "What is your request?"

She blinked her big eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

The two lived under the same roof and spent three months together.

They are already quite familiar with each other's personalities.

She knew perfectly well that the man in front of her could sometimes be as unserious as a child.

However, when it comes to matters of principle, there is absolutely no ambiguity.

If it were a greedy person, they wouldn't complain that the profit sharing from the cooperation was too high and would want to leave the profits from selling antiques for the organization to purchase supplies.

If the organization encounters trouble, this man will treat it as if it were his own business and try to find ways to help it overcome the difficulties.

Would someone who doesn't care about money and wholeheartedly helps the organization suddenly take advantage of someone's misfortune?

That's definitely impossible.

That's why you would suddenly make a request before offering help.

Moreover, she was worried that if she made excessive demands, the organization would not accept this man.

Lin Wan herself didn't realize that at this moment she was thinking like a little girl, just like when she brought her boyfriend along but was worried that her parents and elders wouldn't like or accept him.

Chen Huai'an turned his head and gave the girl next to him a reassuring look.

Then his gaze passed over Zheng Changlin and landed on Ding Yonghua.

He laughed and said, "I want to be a police officer, a formally employed one!"

For Chinese people, the ultimate goal of the universe is to pass the civil service exam.

Once you pass the civil service exam, your life can undergo a dramatic change.

Even social classes have changed.

That's why there's a saying: "The first sword strike after landing is to kill the one you love."

However, in reality, it is indeed just that cruel.

The man works hard to support his girlfriend's studies for several years, including postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams. Once she passes the exams, she will complain that her boyfriend's social status is too low and that he is not good enough for her, and then she will break up with him.

In recent years, similar news has frequently broken out, so it's not uncommon.

Fortunately, Chen Shimei died young and was already rotten to the core, otherwise, seeing the current social climate, he would definitely be filled with resentment and wouldn't be able to hold back his anger even in his coffin!

The request to become a police officer stunned everyone present.

Zheng Changlin and Ding Yonghua considered many possibilities, and even thought about asking Lin Wan to marry them!

I never expected that this young man actually wanted to improve himself.

The stark contrast stunned both of the experienced veteran underground party members.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that later generations of big bosses would use their connections to donate money to build roads and bridges after making money, in exchange for an opportunity to advance their careers.

If they had known about the obsession later generations had with taking the civil service exam, they wouldn't have been so surprised.

Chen Huai'an scratched his head and smiled shyly, "When I was in elementary school, the teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, and I answered that I wanted to be a policeman!"

My biggest dream is to catch bad guys and maintain public order!

Unfortunately, my family doesn't know anyone in this field, and I'm worried I won't be able to find a job after graduation.

Not wanting to work as a temporary worker, I didn't apply to any related schools.

Becoming a police officer has always been my childhood dream!

I thought I had no chance anymore, but I never expected to be able to go back 76 years.

With my bachelor's degree, I should be qualified even for a public recruitment process, right?

From elementary school onwards, Chen Huai'an learned from books that he was a successor to communism.

Unfortunately, back then I had no connections, and I never even placed third in a badminton tournament, so I couldn't take over the mantle.

When you arrive in the newly established world, things will be different.

Here, he is a highly educated talent!

During the Republic of China era, the national literacy rate was around 15%-20%, while the illiteracy rate was as high as 80% or more.

According to statistics from the Nationalist government, the national literacy rate was set at around 20%.

Of these 20%, half are from big cities.

In many rural areas, the literacy rate is only 10%-15%, and the literacy rate among rural women is even less than 10%.

The country is now in dire need of talent, as it is in dire need of rebuilding.

It's not just in 1949 that highly educated talent was scarce; even decades later, the situation remains the same.

In the 1970s and 80s, having a vocational high school diploma was a great achievement.

Even if you can attend an open university, you can still get a good job after graduation.

Not to mention after the resumption of the college entrance examination, every college student was treated like a precious gem. As long as they didn't make mistakes, they were all given important positions.

Chen Huai'an realized that his undergraduate level was definitely much lower than that of those college students back then, and that his undergraduate degree was questionable.

However, in 38, one was still qualified to be a public security officer.

Chen Huai'an took a sip of tea, his eyes glancing unconsciously at the beautiful face beside him.

Making this request was partly to fulfill my own wish, and partly for her sake.

Only by actively joining an organization and gaining its acceptance and recognition can they become kindred spirits and be together in the future.

To put it realistically, when Lin Wan applies for marriage in the future, wouldn't it be easier for the organization to approve it?

The best path would have been to take a position in the municipal government.

However, due to rule restrictions, it cannot involve high-level personnel.

However, joining the Public Security Bureau and catching spies and bad guys wouldn't affect him.

Zheng Changlin blinked, recovering from his surprise, and his eyes revealed joy.

Being willing to join the Public Security Bureau is equivalent to joining the organization and becoming one of their own.

This is the result that the higher-ups have always wanted to see, and it is the best possible outcome.

I was thinking about how to win them over and get closer to them, but now that they've taken the initiative to bring it up, I'm naturally happy to oblige!

Zheng Changlin, as the "King of Spies," is also considering what kind of identity to give Chen Huai'an.

Only then can they better integrate into this big family and avoid arousing suspicion from outsiders.

Where else is there a safer place than a police station?
