The director of the External Relations Department had his eyes on the application form and was reading the information on it. When he heard the voice from the stage, he nodded casually without looking up, motioning for him to continue.
However, for a long while, no further news was heard.
...What's going on? He looked up in confusion and met the boy's eyes. After the two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, he finally confirmed something and asked in surprise, "No more?"
Xie Chenxiao felt that this unnecessary process was extremely boring and a waste of time. Whether to hire him or not could be decided with just a few questions. Besides, the information he wanted to hear from him was basically covered in the submitted application form. Asking him to repeat it was just a waste of time.
He nodded calmly: "Yeah."
hiss.
...Okay.
The director of the External Relations Department had no choice but to shift his attention from the application form to Xie Chenxiao, and asked without hesitation: "Why did you choose our External Relations Department?"
Of course Xie Chenxiao would not tell the truth. After thinking for a moment, he told Qi Jiayan the reason that he had been talking about last night.
“Because the benefits are good and there are parties.”
He remained calm while speaking, which made the deputy minister laugh out loud unexpectedly, and the students in the classroom also laughed.
Qi Jiayan raised his lips and smiled twice, then turned around and winked at them, signaling them to look at the girls in the classroom.
The new students who came for the interview at the External Relations Department had a male to female ratio of about one to one, with more than a dozen girls. At this moment, all of them were looking at the person on the stage with shining eyes and smiling, not hiding their fondness.
Qi Jiayan seemed to sigh with emotion and envy, and said: "Young Master is really popular."
Xue Xiaofei nodded quickly, agreeing with him: "Yes, yes, yes! Handsome guys must be very popular wherever they go!"
Qi Jiayan lowered his voice and said meaningfully, "The number of people who want his contact information can line up from here to the school gate. Maybe he will be single before the military training is over."
After a pause, he smiled and sighed, "Alas, we have an agreement in our dormitory that whoever gets single first will treat everyone to a meal. It seems that this meal must belong to the young master!"
What he said seemed to be fine at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Xue Xiaofei always felt that there was something strange.
She subconsciously looked at Shen You, wanting to ask her if she had the same feeling, but then she heard Qi Jiayan say again: "Hey, when the time comes, the young master will treat you all to a meal. You guys can come and eat together. He won't mind!"
Xue Xiaofei was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Come to think of it, they weren't familiar with Xie Chenxiao, right? They had met a few times, but they had barely spoken a word.
Besides, if Xie Chenxiao was no longer single, but his partner was not Shen You, how could they feel comfortable going to him for free food and drinks? It was embarrassing just thinking about it.
Qi Jiayan was about to speak when the director of the External Relations Department, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly turned around and looked at their position. He smiled and said, "I know everyone is excited, but it's best to keep quiet when others are being interviewed."
Although he was smiling, he gave people an inexplicable feeling that he was hiding a dagger.
Qi Jiayan fell silent instantly and looked down at his phone to cover up his mistake.
The deputy minister looked at the questions they had discussed in advance and said with a smile, "Student Xie is very honest and has a sense of humor."
Xie Chenxiao:?
How do you tell if someone has a sense of humor?
Perhaps his surprised expression was too obvious. The deputy minister saw his confusion, shrugged, and explained: "You succeeded in making everyone laugh with just one sentence. Isn't that humorous enough?"
Isn't it because he is handsome that people are willing to forgive him no matter what he says?
The interview continued, and the director of the External Relations Department asked: "What qualities do you think people in the External Relations Department should have?"
This is a routine interview question. A normal person would probably answer with qualities like honesty, trustworthiness, perseverance, hard work and perseverance, and then brag about themselves, saying that they possess these qualities and hope to be admitted.
However, Xie Chenxiao thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "...thick-skinned?"
Director of External Relations Department: “…”
This time, everyone in the classroom laughed even louder than before.
Qi Jiayan spread his hands helplessly: Everyone burst into laughter, my family.
Originally, he should have been asked the next question, but the deputy minister asked curiously: "Can you tell me the reason? Why do you think the people in the External Relations Department are...thick-skinned?"
Xie Chenxiao raised his eyebrows: "When I went to solicit sponsorship, I was rejected by the merchant. I was so shameless that I refused to leave. I had to swallow my anger and greet him with a smile. How could I not be thick-skinned?"
His words seemed to bring back some unpleasant memories for the deputy minister, and she nodded deeply.

The head of the External Relations Department asked, “Do you think you are thick-skinned?”
Although Xie Chenxiao gave somewhat unexpected answers to these routine questions, the atmosphere of the interview seemed unexpectedly harmonious. Everyone felt that the fact that the Director of the External Relations Department asked this question with a friendly expression was a signal that Xie Chenxiao's interview was over. As long as he nodded and gave an affirmative answer, he would be sure to get into the External Relations Department.
However, in front of everyone, Xie Chenxiao shook his head.
“I’m thin-skinned,” he said.
As he spoke, his eyes seemed to sweep across everyone in the classroom unintentionally, and stayed in a certain direction for a few seconds.
Qi Jiayan seemed to realize something and immediately turned around to look at Shen You.
The head of the External Relations Department was also somewhat surprised by his reaction. "In that case, can you give us a reason why we should choose you?"
...Who cares? You can choose it or not.
Xie Chenxiao said calmly: "You don't have to choose me."
He said this sincerely, without any falsehood, but the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it seriously. What others think is none of his business.
The director of the External Relations Department nodded but did not give an immediate reply. "Okay, we got it. Your interview is over and you can leave now. The interview result will be notified by text message later. You can also follow the group message."
Of course Xie Chenxiao didn't leave. After saying thank you politely, he walked back to his original seat at a leisurely pace.
"Next, Shen You, please ask Xue Xiaofei to get ready."
When he was walking back, Shen You stood up and went to the stage. When they passed each other, their hands touched accidentally and separated in less than a second.
The moment their eyes met, the boy's eyelashes trembled, but Shen You had no time to communicate with him and kept walking forward. Xie Chenxiao's gaze involuntarily followed her figure, watching her standing in the place where he was just now.
After sitting down, he leaned back in his chair, staring intently at the person on the podium, an unconscious smile appearing on his lips.
So this is the perspective from the audience.
