Chapter 71: Sincerity (Thanks to big boss Zhaicai for the silver alliance reward)
"The second trial is to make the examiner sincerely want to keep me?" Meng Jingzhou read the conditions for passing in his mind again.
"What a strange trial; it doesn't sound like it has any difficulty."
"But where am I now?" Meng Jingzhou sat on a row of stools, with four people in front and five people behind. Ten people in a group, and he was right in the middle.
"Oh, so I'm applying for a chamber of commerce." The setting given to him by the Immortal-Decaying Sect popped up in his mind.
Meng Jingzhou looked at the pure white wall opposite, his right hand moving subconsciously, his middle finger and ring finger curling.
Nothing shot out.
"Hmm? Why am I doing this strange action?" Meng Jingzhou didn't understand; he didn't remember having this habit.
"Forget it, whatever. Focus on the application."
Meng Jingzhou noticed that after the first person entered the examiner's room, he ran out in a hurry and ran back in a hurry, going back and forth three or four times.
Meng Jingzhou shouted enthusiastically: "Hey brother, what are you running for? Is the examiner testing your running speed? Then I suggest you change a pair of shoes; the quality of the shoes is very helpful for running speed. And there's the starting posture: squat on the ground, support the ground with both hands, arch your body, this way you run the fastest. You believe me, I have a lot of experience..."
That person looked at Meng Jingzhou like he was an idiot and ignored him, running out to check the quality of the potatoes.
The rules clearly stated that candidates were not allowed to disclose interview questions to each other.
The first person, the second person, the third person, the fourth person, everyone ran quite diligently. Naturally, none of them passed. Whether they passed or not, they disappeared directly after the interview ended, so those behind couldn't judge whether going back and forth many times counted as passing, or going back and forth few times counted as passing.
"Next one, Meng Jingzhou!" the chubby examiner shouted inside.
"Coming." Meng Jingzhou walked in with high spirits.
The chubby examiner asked with a smile as usual: "Meng Jingzhou, go to the market and see if there are any potatoes for sale?"
Meng Jingzhou didn't move.
The chubby examiner thought he hadn't spoken clearly, so he repeated the question word by word.
This time Meng Jingzhou spoke: "Why?"
"What why?" The chubby examiner didn't follow Meng Jingzhou's train of thought.
"I mean why should I go to the market to see if there are potatoes for sale? Do you know what we are doing now?"
"Interviewing," the chubby examiner said as a matter of course.
"Right. You said it yourself, this is an interview, not for running errands for you. Furthermore, didn't you ask the previous four people this question too?"
"You asked a question four times and still aren't satisfied, and want to ask a fifth time?"
The chubby examiner said patiently: "This is a trial question."
Meng Jingzhou said "Oh" and obediently went to the market: "There are potatoes for sale."
"How many potatoes?"
Meng Jingzhou didn't know the answer and got up to leave. The chubby examiner sneered, you kid talk too much, as long as you come back one more time, I will announce you failed.
Who would have thought Meng Jingzhou would open the door, and there was actually an old man standing at the door. Meng Jingzhou asked the old man at the door: "How many potatoes do you have in that cart?"
The old man said: "Eighty jin."
Meng Jingzhou turned his head: "He said there are eighty jin of potatoes. Do you still want to ask how much the potatoes are per jin?"
The chubby examiner opened his mouth, but couldn't ask "how much are the potatoes per jin." Even if he asked, the old man at the door could answer immediately.
This is still asking a fart!
"Why did you call the potato seller over?!" the chubby examiner said angrily. How can I test after this?
Meng Jingzhou spread his hands: "I asked him if several people had run over to ask how the potatoes were, and the old man complained to me, saying several people had run over to look at his potatoes and ran back, ran over to ask how many jin of potatoes there were in total and ran back, and ran over to ask how much it was per jin, only asking and not buying."
"I said do you want to see the culprit who only asks and doesn't buy, he said yes, so I brought him over."
The chubby examiner: "..."
What to do next? No one told him he would encounter this situation.
The chubby examiner thought of Meng Jingzhou's disrespect to him, hardened his heart, and shouted: "You don't know how to guess the superior's intentions, you are eliminated..."
Before the chubby examiner finished speaking, Meng Jingzhou gave him a kick: "Dog shit superior's intentions, giving you face, you fatty!"
After speaking, Meng Jingzhou ran out.
The chubby examiner smashed the table with a slap: "You stop for me!"
The examiner sincerely wanted to keep Meng Jingzhou. Meng Jingzhou passed the trial.
The Vice Sect Master rubbed his brows painfully. What kind of strange way to pass is this?
He stipulated that the examiner must sincerely keep the interviewee because he was worried that some interviewees would take shortcuts and bribe the examiner.
He felt he had been careful enough, but didn't expect there would be an unexpected way to pass.
The examiner didn't just sincerely want to keep Meng Jingzhou; he also sincerely wanted to tear Meng Jingzhou apart.
How did this kid's brain grow, or is it actually that I don't have a brain?
"Immortal-Decaying who is immortal and indestructible, give me an answer." The Vice Sect Master muttered, praying to the Immortal-Decaying, hoping to get a response.
The Sect Master interrupted the Vice Sect Master's prayer: "It would be good if the Immortal-Decaying could hear what you said."
The Vice Sect Master didn't feel the Sect Master was blaspheming the immortal. He knew the Sect Master was the most devout believer in the Immortal-Decaying Sect. He sighed: "How many times have we tried, and all failed, never able to resurrect the Immortal-Decaying. If the Immortal-Decaying could be resurrected, what about the Great Xia Dynasty, what about the righteous path? None would be the Immortal-Decaying's opponent!"
"Only by using blood as a sacrifice can the Immortal-Decaying be resurrected."
The two didn't discuss this topic too much. The Vice Sect Master asked: "What do you think of this Meng Jingzhou?"
The Sect Master clicked his tongue in wonder: "Doesn't take the usual path, a talent."
The Sect Master thought to himself, fortunately, I didn't echo the Vice Sect Master just now saying there would definitely not be other ways to pass, otherwise where would the face of the Sect Master go?
"This kid counts as a talent?"
"Of course, I think our Immortal-Decaying Sect needs talents whose thinking is different from ordinary people."
"Look at the righteous path's Congwendao Sect. Why can they exist in the world for a long time? I summarized a few reasons, and the most important reason is that they have wisdom that exceeds what the world can understand."
The Vice Sect Master's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that the Sect Master is worthy of being the Sect Master, describing a mental illness so fresh and refined.
The Sect Master continued: "Perhaps this Meng Jingzhou can become the backbone of our Immortal-Decaying Sect, or even a pillar!"
"Speaking of Meng Jingzhou, the kid who performed very conspicuously in the first trial, seems to be named Lu Yang. How did he perform?"
"Make the examiner sincerely want to keep me?"
Lu Yang pondered: "What's difficult about this? Just give the examiner a kick, wouldn't that do? It's best to spit a mouthful of saliva, guaranteed to anger the examiner. Never mind keeping me, he would even have the thought of keeping my life."
"But this method is too barbaric. Only a rough person like Meng Jingzhou would use this method. I am a civilized person and can't be like him." ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
