To be honest, Su Lin felt that she had come at the worst possible time.

Some things are better left unseen; if you can't see them, everything is easier to talk about.

But seeing it would be awkward, especially if you barged in as a "troublemaker," it would be even more awkward...

She also deeply regretted her decision to enter without knocking, and for the first time felt that this privilege, which she had gained from being too familiar with Xu Shi, was not so useful after all.

"You're back?"

Xu Shi remained as nonchalant as ever, quickly regaining his composure, his face showing no sign of distress. "Have the 'Forgotten' been chosen?"

As he spoke, he gently patted Xia Wuyou on the back, signaling her to wake up and get dressed.

Saying "it's not a problem for the two of you to be together" is not appropriate, but it depends on the situation. Su Lin has brought back important business, so it's not suitable for you to say that.

So he didn't say anything like "No, you've come at the perfect time," but calmly inquired about the situation.

"……Yes."

The young master brushed aside the awkwardness, so Su Lin didn't dwell on it anymore and reported seriously, "About a hundred people have been selected for this batch and have already been brought for interviews."

The six major conglomerates and the "Forgotten Ones" had an agreement that the first batch would accept about 10,000 people.

It sounds like a lot, but in reality, only one or two thousand might actually end up in the hands of "Snake Ring".

Everyone needs a share, right? If it were all given to Xu Shi alone, he couldn't handle it all. The company needs people now, but it doesn't need that many.

Moreover, selecting people is a slow process. Ability is one aspect, and physical health is another factor. Although the previous rumors about "mutated and bizarre species" were a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that the "Forgotten Ones" who have been exposed to high concentrations of "rust fog" for a long time are indeed not as physically fit as the residents of Night City.

Of course, we need to screen them carefully to make sure they are healthy before approving their entry. Otherwise, no matter how capable they are, they are unacceptable. We don't want them to die in our company tomorrow after we hire them today... We definitely won't consider those with infectious diseases. Even if they are treated, we have to consider the cost, right?

Therefore, "Prism" had arranged a detailed medical examination process in advance, including the examination that Shen Qin and her team had before they came to negotiate. As a result, the review process will not be too fast, and it is expected to take about half a month.

The hundred people Su Lin selected were the top batch after passing the tests.

Top-tier talent will definitely be poached by the six major conglomerates first, and the remaining talent will be considered by second- and third-tier companies. Given the rising status of "Snake Ring", they also have an advantage within the conglomerates.

“Their two leaders, Nan Qian and Li Si, also participated in the selection.”

Su Lin continued, "As you instructed, young master, I managed to win over Miss Nan Qian. As for Li Si, she went to 'Prism'."

She didn't reveal Shen Qin's true identity in front of Xia Wuyou.

"You guys didn't fight, did you?"

Xu Shi was not surprised by the result and raised an eyebrow, jokingly.

He had already learned that Song Chen was a specialist in the medical field within the "Forgotten Ones," just as he wanted Shen Qin, Xie Qingyan naturally needed such talent as well.

In contrast, Zhao Yuan's side was at the least advantageous, as most of them were blue-collar workers.

Don't say he didn't want to come; even if he did, he might not catch everyone's eye... This is actually what Xu Shi wanted to see: the big, clumsy laborer should just stay and mine, and not get involved.

"No way, Secretary Ye is a very easy-going person."

Su Lin shook her head, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.

The truth is that Ye Shanshan, sent by "Prism" to select people, did indeed want to compete with her for Shen Qin, but unfortunately, she didn't have the ability.

Director Su simply pointed to her cheek, which reminded Curly-haired girl of the fear she felt when she had a little turtle drawn on her face that day, so she dared not say anything more.

"That's good. Go and prepare. I'll interview them personally later."

Xu Shi nodded and gave the instructions.

"yes."

Su Lin responded and left in a hurry.

"Then, I'll head back now...?"

After she left, Xia Wuyou asked in a low voice.

She was so embarrassed.

This was her first experience, and she was abruptly interrupted just as she was getting into the swing of things. You can imagine how ashamed and angry she felt.

She appeared to have dressed nonchalantly, but in reality, she had been burying her head in Xu Shi's arms the whole time. She was too ashamed to show her face to anyone... It was a miracle she didn't want to disappear into a crack in the ground.

The key issue is that this means the previous events can't continue. Firstly, there are important matters waiting for Xu Shi to attend to, and secondly, the momentum she had just painstakingly built up was instantly dissipated, making it difficult to rebuild.

She felt like crying; what kind of situation is this...?

tat

"No rush, you can come with me later."

Xu Shi chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Especially that Nan Qian, I need you to personally assess her."

"I?"

Xia Wuyou was a little confused. "Shouldn't Director Su be better at handling this than me?"

Her understanding of the "Forgotten Ones" was naturally not as detailed as theirs at that time.

However, as the leader of this group, Xia Wuyou knew about Nan Qian, and Xu Shi did indeed value her highly.

Now it seems he didn't intend to place the other person in the engineering department? Otherwise, it wouldn't be him conducting the evaluation, but rather that supervisor Jiang Chengcheng...

Even if it's just a combat strength test, Su Lin should be the first choice, right? Although they haven't officially fought each other, she still knows the great reputation of Director Su, and she has more experience in this area. She was the one who interviewed her when she joined the company...
