It was the end of the third month, the day the results of the Metropolitan Examination were to be posted. Yang Yizhi had booked a prime spot at Ruyi Tower well in advance, heartlessly brushing off everyone else who had been fawning over him, and ultimately invited only Zhao Yan.
Having a dedicated person to watch for the results and send word, all while enjoying a lavish meal—Zhao Yan figured he was the one coming out ahead, so he readily agreed to show up on time without a shred of false modesty. After all, it wasn't his idea; Yang Yizhi had invited him.
Zhao Yan set off early to meet Yang Yizhi at Ruyi Tower. As one of the premier establishments in the Capital, Ruyi Tower was not only famous but also boasted an exceptional location near the Ministry of Rites. Every time the examination results were posted, tables at Ruyi Tower were worth their weight in gold. At such times, money alone wasn't enough; one needed status.
