The two old men held hands, their eyes filled with unwavering determination, and turned to go home, completely ignoring Li Xiangdong's attempts to explain as he chased after them.

Li Xiangdong suddenly felt a pain in his gums.

Hiss~

These two are so stubborn.

By this time, all the interviewers had arrived, and looking around, only Li Xiangdong was missing.

Li Jin ran out to call his son, and as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Li Xiangdong striding towards him.

......

The interview questions were simple: to screen out those who understood technology, management, and sales.

It doesn't matter if some young people don't understand these things; as long as you see potential in them, you can nurture them.

Despite this, because there were so many people coming for the interview, the entire interview process lasted all day.

In the end, seven people were basically selected: Li Xiangchao, Liu Lancao, Liu Yuqing, Zhao Hongjun, Wang Pandi, Li Xiangqian, and Li Xiangli.

Of these people, Liu Lancao, Wang Pandi, and Li Xiangli are girls, while the remaining four are boys, making it almost a one-to-one ratio.

Among these seven people, the lowest level of education is junior high school, while Liu Yuqing and Li Xiangli are both high school graduates.

However, Liu Yuqing and Li Xiangli failed the college entrance examination for two consecutive years. Their families advised them that the wages and dividends they earned in the village were much higher than those of people working outside, so why did they have to put all their eggs in one basket?

The two listened to the advice and put down their books to participate in the labor.

Sure enough, the opportunity came soon.

Both of them were successfully selected.

After narrowing down the candidates, it was already past 8 p.m. The interviewers in the room were very tired and originally planned to announce the list of candidates early the next morning.

As a result, when Li Jinyi pushed open the door of the brigade headquarters, he saw that the courtyard was full of people, who were eagerly waiting for the results to be announced!

Before anyone could even ask, Li Jin quickly retracted his foot and swiftly closed the door.

"Why don't we just publish the list? I think everyone's waiting for it!"

Judging by this trend, if we wait another night, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause!

After a brief discussion, the group inside decided that Wang Zhenbo should write the names of the seven people neatly on a piece of red paper with a brush. Then, after Li Jin verbally announced the results, they would post it on the bulletin board of the brigade headquarters.

Li Jin reopened the door, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "Everyone, quiet down! I'm here to announce the results of today's interviews!"

The previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

"Everyone knows that Li Tang is leading the team to build a branch factory for the food factory in the provincial capital. The seven people selected from today's interviews will be Li Tang's assistants to help him build the branch factory. Of course, if they do a good job, they will have a bright future!"

The group exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "If we didn't know that the person chosen this time would have a bright future, who would be so enthusiastic?"

Li Jin continued, "Based on the interview results and everyone's democratic evaluation, we've decided to select seven people to go to the provincial capital! They are—"

Everyone held their breath and dared not speak; the entire brigade headquarters was very quiet.

Li Xiangchao~

Liu Lancao~

Liu Yuqing~

Zhao Hongjun~

Wang Pandi~

Li Xiangqian~

Li Xiangli!

"We'll post the list on the bulletin board, everyone'll have plenty of time to look at it tomorrow! It's too late now, everyone hurry home to eat and rest!"

Those who were chosen and their families were naturally overjoyed, while most of those who were not chosen were very dissatisfied and immediately began to complain.

Li Jin glanced at the slightly agitated crowd and raised his voice a few decibels.

"Comrades, those of you who weren't selected this time, don't be discouraged. It doesn't mean you're not excellent; it just means you might not be as strong as others in this area. But our village has so many industries. Take Guo Daming, for example, who focuses on aquaculture and is now an expert! Li Guoling has made great strides in traditional Chinese medicine. So, as long as you broaden your horizons and study hard, our village will not bury any talent!"

"You must understand that the development of our village to this point is not due to the efforts of any one person. Everyone in our village has done their best! Everyone should believe that everyone has their own stage to play their part, realize their value, and contribute to the development of our village!"

After encouraging most of the unsuccessful candidates, Li Jin then had to put a tight rein on those who were selected.

"The seven of you who were selected are all outstanding, that's undeniable. But you must not be arrogant! You must continue to study hard and work diligently."

"Furthermore, your job isn't over once you're selected, and you can't just sit back and stay in that position forever! Your work will be subject to everyone's supervision and evaluation. If anyone is slow, careless, or inattentive, we will remove you from the position!"

Wow!

A collective sigh rippled through the crowd.

Will it be phased out again?

Oh my god, if I get selected and then get eliminated, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing!

For a moment, those who were indignant about not being selected felt a strange sense of balance.

Well, as the captain said, just because we're not good at this doesn't mean we can't do it in other areas!

There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert.

Therefore, some people plan to work hard quietly and cultivate other industries, while others will give up their ambitions and stop looking for something better, focusing on doing their own job well.

Of course, some people have rather unusual ideas.

For example, Zhao Huajun is one of the representative figures.

This guy once wanted to buy a teenage girl from the next village as his wife, but after being strictly stopped, he was depressed for several days. In the end, he had no choice but to marry a young widow in her late twenties.

The young widow had no children, and after marrying Zhao Huajun, she wanted to live a life of contentment.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huajun turned out to be a hopeless case, spending his days idly at home, much to the young widow's dismay.

When they went to the provincial capital to build a branch of the food factory, the young widow strongly urged Zhao Huajun to apply for an interview. Zhao Huajun couldn't resist his wife's persuasion, so he also came to fill in the gaps.

After Li Jin announced the results, Zhao Huajun returned home, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and told his wife to hurry up and cook.

He lay down comfortably, muttering incessantly, "It's all your fault! You insisted on making me go for the interview, and even though it was an interview, I had to wait for the results! I'm starving!"

The young widow looked displeased and sarcastically remarked to Zhao Huajun, "Starve to death? How come you're still breathing!"

Zhao Huajun sat up abruptly, pointing his finger at the young widow and cursing, "Are you fucking addicted to being a widow? One died first, and now you're cursing me!"

The young widow remained expressionless, reached out and grabbed Zhao Huajun's finger that was pointing at her nose, and twisted it hard, causing Zhao Huajun to cry out in pain.
