Chapter 413 I Exposed Her
Yao Jianshu casually explained the meaning of the word, then pointed to a folder next to him with his pen, indicating to the two of them, "You can randomly select a test paper from this folder, read the contents aloud with accurate pronunciation, and translate it."
That calm and composed demeanor infuriated Senior Jin, and his anger surged.
"Knock knock knock".
The interviewer tapped the table a few times, reminding Jin, "Sir, please be mindful of your attitude towards the interviewer. This is an interview, not your classroom at school."
The interviewer had just glanced at the two men's resumes, knew who he was, and could tell that the two men wanted to make things difficult for Yao Jianshu, so he quickly spoke up to help them.
Senior Jin frowned and glanced at the interviewer who had spoken up for Yao Jianshu.
The interviewer stared at him with a cold expression.
Senior Jin reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
Zhao Shucheng forced a smile and went to get the exam questions: one was a brief description of the historical events of a certain ancient capital of nine dynasties in China, and the other was a manual for a mechanical product.
Zhao Shucheng's eyes flickered slightly. He chose the easier one and handed the mechanical instruction manual test questions to Jin Nan.
Jin Nan suppressed his resentment and glanced at the content. Although there were a few words with pauses, the pronunciation was accurate and fluent, and the translation was also quite accurate.
The interviewers exchanged glances, then bowed their heads and ticked the boxes.
When it was Zhao Shucheng's turn, he was confidently reciting his lines, but he stumbled on a word related to a war. By the time he realized it, he had already mispronounced it and hurriedly turned around to correct it, instantly disrupting his rhythm. He then mispronounced three or four more key words in a row, and the translation was also somewhat unsatisfactory, causing the interviewer to frown.
Zhao Shucheng was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the interviewer put a checkmark on the paper.
After the interview, the two were asked to leave. "The results will be released this afternoon. If you pass the first round, you will be notified by phone to participate in the second round of screening."
Two people went out, and the next group went in.
Staring at the closed door, neither of them looked too happy.
Zhao Shucheng felt incredibly embarrassed for mispronouncing a word in front of Yao Jianshu. He also thought that if he were interviewing Yao Jianshu in that situation, Yao Jianshu might not get everything right, and might even perform worse than him!
Thinking about it this way, he gradually calmed down.
Slowly exhaling, Zhao Shucheng turned to look at Senior Jin.
Senior Jin stared coldly at the door with a sullen face, as if he wanted to poke a hole in it.
Zhao Shucheng pursed his lips and called out to Senior Jin, "Yao Jianshu can't possibly eliminate us, can she?"
"She dares!"
Senior Jin suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng chuckled awkwardly, "She wouldn't dare, senior, how about we... go back first? It's not good to be stuck here, the results won't be out until this afternoon..."
Senior Jin snorted coldly and walked away.
Zhao Shucheng stared at Jin Xuechang's back, his face turning cold with impatience, and he spat out a light spit.
In the afternoon, before dark, both of them received a call informing them that they had advanced to the second round of interviews.
Zhao Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With our senior here, I doubt Yao Jianshu would dare to kick us out in this kind of situation. We are truly capable. If Yao Jianshu really does that, we will definitely make a big scene and leave her with no way to recover!"
Senior Jin gave a noncommittal hum.
The next morning, when I went for the interview, there were two-thirds fewer people in line than the day before. There were three offices, and this time we went in one by one.
When Zhao Shucheng arrived, he was still praying in his heart that they wouldn't give him any more exam questions about history or local customs.
As it turned out, what I feared most came to pass.
This time, he didn't need to read from the script; instead, he was asked to answer questions based on two randomly selected place names.
Zhao Shucheng drew the names of a small city in China and a city abroad.
Zhao Shucheng's face lit up with joy when he saw the place name.
He wasn't familiar with this city abroad, but he happened to see it on the conference attendee list that Senior Jin had given him, so he looked into it.
This second round of questions was practically an open-book exam, and he was even more confident than in the first round.
"Comrade, please give a brief introduction to a city in China in English. The content should include local policies that are conducive to economic development, what types of investments are suitable, and what returns can be brought to investors..."
"Comrade, please briefly describe the culture, customs, and things to be aware of when interacting with locals in this foreign city."
Zhao Shucheng puffed out his chest slightly and confidently began to introduce and analyze the two cities, occasionally throwing in an obscure word or two, and glancing at Yao Jianshu with a showy air.
His speech was rapid and fluent.
After the answer was finished, the interviewers exchanged glances, and one of them nodded to Zhao Shucheng, "Comrade, that's enough. Please go out and wait for the results, and then call the next comrade in."
Zhao Shucheng glanced at the paper and pens in front of the group and felt uneasy when he didn't see any checkmarks.
The interviewer smiled and gestured for them to proceed.
Zhao Shucheng gritted his teeth, stood up, and went out.
Senior Jin had a solid foundation from the previous year. Although he was indignant about Yao Jianshu, his foundation was solid, and his answers to questions were practical, unlike Zhao Shucheng's fancy words.
Several interviewers, including Yao Jianshu, ticked the boxes in front of him.
When the interview ended and Jin was asked to leave, he frowned and glanced at Yao Jianshu.
He thought Yao Jianshu would make things difficult for her, but after two rounds, she was just handling things officially and didn't seem to have any intention of seeking personal revenge.
Could it be that they want to lower his guard first, and then eliminate him in the final round?
Senior Jin felt he had figured out the truth.
The second round results were faster than the first round.
In the late afternoon, Senior Jin received a call informing him that he had passed the second round of interviews and that he should be at the third round of final interviews at 8:00 AM the next day.
Zhao Shucheng didn't receive the call until it was dark.
It was a notification that he had failed the second round of interviews and was being told to keep trying.
"That's impossible! I answered so well..."
Zhao Shucheng's vision blurred, unwilling to believe he wasn't capable enough, and he shouted, "Yao Jianshu, it must be Yao Jianshu targeting me, preventing me from passing! I refuse to accept this, I want to..."
The phone went dead; the person on the other end hung up before he could finish speaking.
Senior Jin's eyes flickered, a calculating glint in them. He patted Zhao Shucheng on the shoulder and chimed in, "Yes, definitely! Yao Jianshu wants to suppress your first place ranking; she's doing it on purpose! But... never mind, Zhao, the results are out, they can't be changed. Can you go to the interview tomorrow to ask her for clarification? You didn't receive a notification for the third round of interviews..."
"Does that mean I can't go if I haven't been notified?!"
Zhao Shucheng was furious and slammed his fist on the table. "Senior, I'll go with you tomorrow. If Yao Jianshu doesn't give me an explanation, I'll expose her! Let everyone see that she's using her position for personal revenge and is unworthy of her position!"
