Before my civil service interview, my girlfriend gave me a good-luck charm. She said she had gone out of her way to get it for me, and that it would make sure I passed every exam.
Not wanting to disappoint her, I took it with me into the examination room.
Later, I really did come in first.
But before I could celebrate for long, someone reported me for wearing a conspicuous item into the examination room and possibly cheating.
The person who reported me was my girlfriend.
She did it because she had set her sights on a buddy of mine who was applying for the same position, and wanted to help him get the job.
She posted about it online, then insinuated that the charm I wore was a secret mark my father, a government employee, had made to rig the process behind the scenes.
I couldn't defend myself. Not only was I investigated, but furious netizens began attacking me online.
Overwhelmed by the pressure, I lost focus while crossing the street and was hit by a car.
Once my buddy learned the truth, he immediately got together with my girlfriend.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the exam. This time, I grinned as I accepted the charm from my girlfriend, then turned around and hung it on my buddy.
Let's see what tricks that despicable pair can pull now.
