Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing asked He Jianping for advice on resume writing, and started to think about it seriously when they got home. Because it was a group resume, they had to write a combination of two people, so they agreed to write their own resumes first.

At home, Chu Qianli found that writing a resume was more tiring than studying. After studying it for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ran out of the bedroom.

"Brother! Brother!" Chu Qianli leaned on the railing on the second floor and looked down, eagerly searching for He Shichen.

He Shichen was sitting in the living room. Hearing her suddenly flattering tone, he looked up impatiently: "What's wrong? No money again?"

"No, no!" Chu Qianli's eyes drifted away, "Can you write a resume?"

He Shichen: “?”

He Shichen asked suspiciously, "What do you want the resume for?"

Chu Qianli laughed dryly: "Haha... I said I want to participate in the special talent selection, do you believe it?"

“…”

He Shichen did not study in detail what made the special talents so "special", but he thought it sounded like a serious matter, so he helped Chu Qianli polish her resume and filter out the messy information.

Chu Qianli looked at the new resume on the screen. She stroked her chin and muttered, "Doesn't this look a bit shabby? Can't it be artistically processed?"

He Shichen said coldly: "How dare you cheat in the university's special talent selection? Are you really desperate? If you are found out, you won't be able to continue your studies."

"...Or did you originally want to use this as an excuse to not go to school?" He Shichen glanced at Chu Qianli suspiciously.

Chu Qianli laughed guiltily. She took her resume and ran back to her room, planning to make some adjustments herself. He Shichen's wording was more standard, but it did not include Ziwei Doushu and other content, so Chu Qianli still needed to supplement it.

Not long after, Tan Muxing also sent his resume. He did not follow He Jianping's advice to post a resume, and his words were low-key and conservative, but it was still quite decent. It should be because he liked design and participated in many religious art and aesthetics exhibitions and activities.

Chu Qianli understood as soon as he talked about Muxing's design style. He did not believe in these things, but he appreciated the beauty of art.

The two of them put their resumes together and sent them to He Jianping, not knowing whether they would be accepted. They both thought it was a bit ridiculous and felt uncertain for a while.

Fortunately, He Jianping did not directly say that his resume was screened. He soon received a new notice informing them that they had to take a written test and an interview.

On the weekend, at the door of an inconspicuous office building in the city, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing met at their destination with their schoolbags on their backs.

The roads in the core urban area were relatively narrow. Chu Qianli looked around and said in confusion, "Is this really like an exam for special talents, or an arts exam?"

Tan Muxing said in a stiff voice: "You won't be tested on fortune-telling, right? I really can't do it."

"Don't panic, tell me your fortune." Chu Qianli wanted to comfort her deskmate, so she told me her fortune right there, but suddenly she felt overwhelmed and trembled, "It's over, it doesn't seem to be going well, this shouldn't be told..."

Chu Qianli never asked for divination before her cultural exams, mainly because she was afraid that the result would be bad and her mentality would collapse in the exam room. She thought that she would not lose if she asked for divination, so she had the courage to do it before the exam, but who would have thought that she would suffer a heavy setback.

Tan Muxing looked surprised: "Isn't this what you are best at?"

"But the test results are not good. Some energy in the horoscope is very strong. It feels like the examinee is very special..." Chu Qianli stared at the office building in a daze, and then thought about He Jianping's recruitment requirements, and suddenly caught a clue.

Chu Qianli thought for a moment, and she was very disappointed: "It's over, I don't think I can make this money."

Tan Muxing was a little panicked at first, but his deskmate became even more panicked after the divination. He consoled him, "Since we're here, why not give it a try first?"

Chu Qianli opened her mouth to explain, but inadvertently glanced at a sports car driving in from the corner of the street, and her eyes were instantly drawn away.

The red sports car was particularly eye-catching on the street, and what was even more eye-catching was the curly-haired beauty who got out of the car. She parked the sports car in a parking space on the roadside, carrying a brand-name bag in one hand and holding the car key in the other, and strode towards the office building, like a model on a catwalk, simply □□.

Tan Muxing noticed that Chu Qianli was distracted. He followed her line of sight and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Chu Qianli, with a genuine love of beauty in her heart, said yearningly, "Tsk tsk, rich sister, beautiful sister."

Tan Muxing: “?”

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were walking towards the building, but they found themselves walking the same way as the beauty in the sports car.

The three of them walked into the building together, walked through the lobby together, entered the elevator together, and pressed the button for the same floor together.

The curly-haired woman had a decent make-up and a delicate appearance. She pushed up her sunglasses. A small bell hung on her wrist, which occasionally made a crisp sound. She began to look at the other two people in the elevator.

Tan Muxing felt uncomfortable with the straightforwardness. He looked away uneasily and chose to look at Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli was very generous. She looked back and stared at the curly-haired woman.

The curly-haired woman observed for a long time. She was quite surprised and took the lead in breaking the deadlock. She smiled and said, "It's really rare. I rarely see female Taoists. I'm annoyed when I always meet male Taoists."

Chu Qianli: "I rarely meet big sisters either."

The curly-haired girl took off her sunglasses. Her eyeliner was raised and her eyes were bright. She took the initiative to extend her hand and introduced herself: "Meru Z."

Chu Qianli shook hands back obediently: "Chu Qianli."

Meiru Z: "Not a big sister. If I really want to work hard, I guess my daughter-in-law is a little younger than you."

Chu Qianli said calmly: "All the pretty and rich ones are called sister, regardless of age."

Mei Ru Z was amused by the other party. She glanced at Tan Muxing beside her and said casually, "I won't shake hands with your friend. I'm a little bit man-phobic."

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry." Tan Muxing was not angry. He leaned towards Chu Qianli and politely kept a distance from Mei Ru Z.

Mei Ru Z is well-maintained and wears luxurious clothes, but her attitude is quite easy-going, which makes Chu Qianli quite curious.

"Big sister is here too..." Chu Qianli chose her words carefully, "Applying for a job?"

Meiru Z nodded: "Yes, someone introduced me to you."

Chu Qianli thought about the result of the divination and said hesitantly, "Are you really not afraid of being caught and prosecuted?"

Mei Ru Z: "What are you afraid of? Qianshan Taoist Temple is a nationally famous Taoist activity venue. It is also a key cultural relic protection unit. If something really happened, it would be something like this. Why are you arresting us non-believers?"

Mei Ru Z has been in the industry for many years. She seems to have a family background in numerology and is one of the few non-religious researchers of numerology.

The three of them reached the floor, the elevator slowly opened, and Meiru Z waved goodbye: "It's nice to meet you, but we will compete later."

Everyone is here to make money, so there is indeed competition among peers.

Chu Qianli watched her leave and murmured, "How rare, she doesn't even believe in religion."

Tan Muxing: "Are we going to compete with her in fortune-telling later?"

"I don't know. I don't even know what I'm going to be tested on." Chu Qianli said with a smile, "But I won't lose if it comes to fortune-telling."

"…But you just said the result was not good?"

Chu Qianli: "Ah, this..."

Chu Qianli was hesitating at the door just now, mainly because she found out that this matter was related to official agencies, so she was naturally frightened, but Mei Ru Z came in without any scruples, so it seemed impossible for her to be arrested in broad daylight.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing originally thought they would have to fight with Mei Ru Z and others, but who would have thought that they would finish signing in with the staff and were soon led to a quiet examination room.

The seats in the examination room were spaced far apart, and there were not many examinees, but there were many who wore strange clothes, such as Taoist robes.

At the stage, someone was reading: "Please turn off your cell phones and leave them outside with your bags. The exam is about to begin. We will now read out the exam room rules. Candidates must abide by the exam room rules and obey the instructions of the invigilators..."

Before entering the room, the two thought they would talk to their colleagues, but they only saw Meiru Z sitting quietly in her seat waiting for the exam to start. The others were also obviously not used to it. They were fidgeting in their seats, and were obviously a little nervous.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing took mock exams every day at school. They were very familiar with it and honestly followed the exam rules. They each chose a seat and sat down, and put their ID cards on the corner of the table.

As soon as the bell rang, everyone fell silent and the test papers were distributed.

Chu Qianli was holding a thick test paper. She flipped through it and her eyes went dark. She suddenly realized the reason why her test results were not good!

It’s true that she won’t lose at fortune-telling, but the test is not about fortune-telling!

The test questions are huge and consist of fill-in-the-blank questions with very few multiple-choice questions, which is obviously intended to prevent the masters from taking shortcuts.

According to the old custom, the day or two before Qingming Festival is the Cold Food Festival, which commemorates the ____ of the Spring and Autumn Period.

If July 10, 2017 is a Wednesday, August 10, 2018 is ____.

Chu Qianli: “?” Is this a test on Xuanmen?

Chu Qianli began to flip through the pages frantically. The test paper covered everything from astronomy to geography. There was even an essay writing question at the end with provided materials. The theme revolved around "Promoting the new pattern of western development."

"..." If Chu Qianli had not been sitting in an unfamiliar examination room, she would have suspected that the questions were of the type used in the college entrance examination and were closely related to the hot topics of current affairs in the comprehensive literature section.

Chu Qianli felt dizzy, confused, and terrible during the written test.

After collecting the papers, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing left the examination room, finally escaping from the sad place.

Chu Qianli was as cold as an eggplant hit by frost. She hung her head and followed Tan Muxing sadly, saying pitifully: "I don't want to work anymore. It's so hard to find a job. It's even harder than studying. I suddenly feel that studying in school is really good..."

"I can't afford this money, I can't afford this money..." she muttered in disbelief.

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Not bad? A lot of the first part is folk knowledge, I feel you can answer them all."

Chu Qianli said sadly, "But I don't know how to write a long question. I've never been tested like this in school!"

The two were standing on the roadside complaining about the topic when they happened to meet Meiru Z who came out.

Meiru Z was full of energy and enthusiasm when she got off the elevator, but now she was just as lost and confused. She asked, "Can you do it?"

Chu Qianli confessed: "A little bit, how about you?"

"How funny, you know a little bit, but I don't know anything at all." Meiru Z messed up her hair. She looked at the two of them and realized, "By the way, you seem to be high school students, which should be the peak period of human intelligence. After the college entrance examination, your intelligence will decline sharply."

"I am a student of Plum Blossom Heart Yi, so why am I here to take the civil service exam?"

Tan Muxing whispered, "...There will be a test on the Book of Changes ahead."

Mei Ru Z: "I am studying divination, which tests astronomy, geography, military tactics, mathematics, music and rhyme from the Book of Changes. This is too broad a scope!"

Chu Qianli comforted him: "The Dao of Yi is vast and all-encompassing."

Everyone stood at the door and complained for a long time about the ridiculous exam, and finally went home in despair. The high salary really meant an impossible task. The written test alone eliminated countless numerology researchers across the country.

On the way back, Chu Qianli closed her eyes quietly. She didn't have any strength left in her body. She said sadly, "It seems that I still have to go to college. Social college is more terrifying than ordinary college. I haven't been hit so hard in a long time..."

Chu Qianli considered himself the best in the world, and he never expected that he would be blocked by other conditions.

Tan Muxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Go back and prepare well for the exam. There will be another chance in the future."

Chu Qianli suffered a setback in the written test, and she really worked hard when she returned to school, focusing on mastering the knowledge of the western development, which seemed to be a matter of reputation rather than money. If her grades in other subjects were poor, it would be fine, but she didn't expect to fail in the selection of numerology data scientists. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Both of them thought the matter was settled, but not long after, they received interview notifications saying they had entered the second round.

Chu Qianli was shocked: "But I clearly calculated that I did very poorly on the test..."

"Maybe he's the tallest among the short guys?" Tan Muxing asked tentatively, "The Master Mei we met last time didn't do that at all."

Regardless of the final result, Chu Qianli's entry into the second round helped to improve her self-esteem. At least she was better than many of her peers. She didn't dare to make random calculations this time, fearing that knowing the result in advance would make the interview even worse.

Tan Muxing accompanied her to the office building for the second time. They were a group, so only a representative was needed for the interview while the others waited outside.

Chu Qianli knocked on the door and entered the room first. Tan Muxing helped her carry her schoolbag while he sat quietly in the lounge waiting for the result.

"Chu Qianli, right?"

After Chu Qianli opened the door and greeted him, the interviewer took the initiative to ask. He was an old man with gray hair and elegant temperament. He said kindly, "Please sit anywhere."

After Chu Qianli thanked him, she sat down obediently and looked around the room. She found that the office was plainly decorated. The bookshelf next to it was piled with various books and folders. It was indeed an ordinary office space.

"I saw that you wrote that your master was Chu Yilie?" The old man asked curiously while browsing the resume, "Where does he live now? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Chu Qianli didn't expect that her grandfather was quite famous. She answered honestly, "He lives underground."

The old man was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time to react. He said disappointedly, "Ah, so that's the case. That's right. It's been many years..."

"No problem. Let's get back to the point and talk briefly about what you are good at!" The old man quickly perked up and adjusted himself to the state of a formal interview.

Chu Qianli said awkwardly: "We can talk, but it seems like you have already made a decision..."

Although she deliberately didn't count the results, she knew there was no hope as soon as she entered the house.

The old man smiled and said, "Did you calculate it in advance?"

"I'm not specifically fortune-telling, but when I see some information, I can't help interpreting it." Chu Qianli muttered. Sometimes she didn't specifically fortune-tell, but she could sense it through her spiritual sense and couldn't stop the influx of information from the outside world.

The old man thought for a moment, "Oh, that's normal. You are very sensitive to external situations. I can tell from your face that you are very accurate in fortune-telling."

"Just now there was a girl who was doing plum blossoms. She sat down for less than half a minute and then left. She said she would not waste any more time. She must have had some good external support."

External response is a kind of hint when casting a hexagram, which can be said to be a kind of "omen". For example, if the wind blows, leaves fall, or you hear laughter, roosters crowing, etc., all of these can serve as external responses, similar to the hexagram outside the hexagram.

When Chu Qianli heard this, she found that the old man was very capable and admired him, "You are so good at talking..."

Low emotional intelligence: You are likely to die young.

High emotional intelligence: I can tell from your face that the fortune telling is very accurate.

The old man smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry too? If you are, we won't follow the procedure. You already know the result anyway."

"I'm not in a hurry..." Chu Qianli pursed her lips. She hesitated for a moment and said boldly, "But can I ask you a few questions?"

"Sure. What is it? Go ahead."

"Aren't your requirements too harsh? You said that experience in civil engineering and other projects is preferred, and the written test also tests that kind of knowledge..." Chu Qianli muttered, "Although it is said to be preferred, it is not a hard condition, but if someone really does these things, can they still meet the requirements?"

Chu Qianli couldn't understand who could do it. No wonder Tan Muxing was amazed after watching it.

The old man seemed puzzled by her question. He answered in astonishment, "Of course I can. I am."

Chu Qianli: “?”

The old man said calmly, "I have no religious beliefs, do not participate in religious activities, and am not a religious professional. I am here to be a consultant to help. My main job is a professor in the philosophy department of a university..."

"It's okay to study these. This is the book I compiled. I can give you one." The old man opened the drawer, took out a new book and handed it to Chu Qianli who was not far away.

Chu Qianli took it with both hands and thanked him. She looked carefully and saw that the title of the book was "New Interpretation of the Book of Changes" and the author was Pan Yicheng.

Pan Yicheng smiled and said, "I worked in civil engineering when I was young, but now I teach. Your master used to call me Ye Tang Jushi, but now everyone calls me Professor Pan. The content of my lectures is the philosophical spirit in the Book of Changes."

Chu Qianli: “???” How can you still have such an idea?
