Chapter 66 Interview
Lu Jiamu stood up, straightened his coat, put down his sleeves, and then put on a very decent smile on his face: "Okay, I'm ready."
The butler gestured to the side gracefully, and a door appeared out of thin air in front of the classroom: "Please follow me."
Lu Jiamu followed it through the door and came to a very small meeting room.
The housekeeper sat down, gestured for Lu Jiamu to sit wherever he wanted, and then flipped through the job application card in his hand.
It turned to Lu Jiamu's page and read out what Lu Jiamu had written in a serious manner: "Proficient in multiple languages, proficient in Word, Excel, PPT and other office software, can do photo editing, good personality, optimistic and cheerful, good at communication, no bad habits, and very patient with children."
Lu Jiamu smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right."
"It is indeed very attractive. Your self-introduction makes you look very outstanding." The butler said cheerfully, "But you are applying for the position of a tutor. If you want to become a tutor in the Batty family, you must be knowledgeable enough and be able to ask some profound questions to show that you have the talent to match this position."
It paused after saying this, as if waiting for Lu Jiamu's response.
Asking deep enough questions?
Lu Jiamu asked: "I wonder how you define profound?"
"Hmm..." The butler's tone was somewhat malicious, "For example, ask three questions that I can't answer, but are objectively logical. After all, if you are not even as knowledgeable as me, why should I hire you?"
There are now more than nine applicants waiting outside. Judging from the evil taste this monster showed when he asked them to fill out the job application cards just now, if he can't come up with an answer, he might be eliminated immediately and the next applicant will be invited in.
If its needs cannot be met, it will continue to eliminate applicants until there are only nine people left, and then keep the last few on the grounds that "there will not be enough people soon."
It's really dog-like.
Perhaps giving hope to the most hardworking survivors first and then letting them die the fastest is the evil taste of this monster.
"That makes sense indeed." Lu Jiamu nodded. "Are you very knowledgeable?"
"It's okay." The butler crossed his arms and answered modestly, "There are very few things happening in this world that I don't know."
It paused, full of malice, almost laughing, and added: "You can only ask three questions, and these three questions can involve any professional field. But if I can answer any of these three questions, it means you are not knowledgeable enough and you will be eliminated."
Lu Jiamu was not affected by its intimidation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I want to ask a question."
The butler suddenly became excited and moved his fingers. Although he had no facial features, he seemed to be smiling: "Ask ahead. Remember to ask some difficult questions."
"A cat fell from a tall building and landed on a sandy ground, creating a 10-meter-deep sand pit. Given: the Earth's gravitational acceleration is 9.8, the density of sand is about 1.65, and the cat weighs 15 kg."
"What color is this cat?"
Lu Jiamu spoke very quickly, and before the housekeeper could finish his words, he had already asked the second question in one breath: "That day, Zhang San and Li Kui were playing house. When Li Kui passed by, he thought Zhang San was robbing, so he hit Zhang San with a stick. After Zhang San returned home, he developed symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting within a few hours, and had to go to a tertiary hospital for treatment.
How big is Zhang San's psychological shadow area?"
The butler didn't seem to have expected that an applicant would dare to ask such a stupid question in front of him. He didn't react at first and waited until Lu Jiamu had finished asking the second question before he reached out to stop him from speaking.
"There doesn't seem to be a necessary logical connection between the question you asked and your previous description?"
"Yes. Do you admit that the questions I asked are profound enough that you cannot answer them?"
"I really can't answer that." The butler sighed, still not giving up, "But you need to explain the necessary connection between the question you just asked and your description, otherwise the question you asked is not objective and logical.
Candidates who ask random questions need to be eliminated.”
Lu Jiamu asked again: "If I can explain it, will you admit that I have raised two sufficiently profound questions?"
The butler nodded: "Yes. But if I think there is no logic, you will be eliminated."
"I say the cat is calico because normal cats don't grow to 30 kilograms. If they grow to 30 kilograms, it will be difficult for them to walk and even more difficult to climb out of the window. Unless it is a giant cat breed, the vast majority of that breed are calico."
"Zhang San was mistaken for a robber and was beaten up, so he had adverse reactions and was admitted to the hospital. His mind was filled with psychological trauma, so the area of his psychological trauma was probably as big as his fist."
Although it feels like he is just talking nonsense, there does seem to be some logic in this.
The Monster Butler had never met an applicant who would say such a thing before. It paused for a moment before saying, "I think your question is logical, but it is based on your logic. I hope the next question will not appear in this form. You need to ask a more objective question."
"Okay." Lu Jiamu nodded and asked the third question, "Where did I come from?"
This was an objective enough question. But the butler crossed his arms and remained silent for a long time.
It has no facial features, and when it doesn't speak, others have no way of guessing its emotional fluctuations.
The butler paused for a long time before nodding and said politely, "I can't answer your question because it is quite profound. Congratulations on asking three questions that stumped me. You have proven your talent and successfully passed my interview."
Lu Jiamu stood up with a smile, saluted it, and then walked out of the room under its guidance.
When the people outside saw him coming out, they immediately seemed to be relieved and asked more nervously: "How is it?"
Lu Jiamu walked back to them: "Not eliminated."
The housekeeper had already looked through the job application cards again, and with ill intentions, he called Coleman first in the order in which they had filled out the forms.
Coleman asked anxiously, "What did it just do?"
"It asked me to ask it three logical, objective questions that it couldn't answer."
While she was walking towards the interview room, Lu Jiamu quickly told Coleman about the flaws it had shown when playing the quiz game.
Although the butler seemed to know a lot of things, it just revealed that it only knew things about this world and could not know anything related to the Wheel of Time and Space.
And it doesn't have the ability to read minds. If you play brain teasers with it, it will not only fail to figure it out, but also fail to figure it out.
Coleman nodded and followed the butler into the room.
After the housekeeper sat down, he asked her to sit down as well. After searching for a while, he found Coleman's job application card and read it out in a serious manner as before: "You have rich teaching experience and are responsible. Although simple, you look excellent. However, you are applying for the position of deputy housekeeper, which requires stronger professional qualities."
This time, it did not ask for "asking sufficiently profound questions", but waved its hand and took out a piece of paper, handed it to Coleman, and said with some gloating: "As the deputy steward who can temporarily take over my position, you need to be able to answer my little master's preferences."
All that was written on the paper was: 1. What is Batty’s favorite food?
A. Sweets B. Vegetables C. Meat
2……
When Coleman saw this, cold sweat broke out on his body: This... who could know this?
Children should all like sweets, right? Coleman picked up the pen and chose A for the first question.
The butler happily announced: "Wrong answer."
After saying that, Coleman was lifted up by a force that appeared out of nowhere and pressed against the ceiling.
But as soon as she heard that her answer was wrong, she was ready to be slapped away, still holding the paper and pen tightly in her hands.
She felt the ceiling was swallowing her, but she did not give up immediately. She gritted her teeth and erased the answer.
The child doesn't like sweets, so does he like meat? She immediately filled in the C again.
"That's correct."
Coleman fell from the ceiling again.
It seems that the answers to the questions it gives are published in real time, which is very conducive to trial and error. It depends on whether the trialer can withstand such a blow.
Coleman stood up and looked at the second question: How many hours of TV and games can Battie watch every day?
…
Outside the interview room, everyone soon heard the heavy sound of "bang bang bang" of heavy objects hitting the wall, which made people feel painful.
Yu Leng didn't know what was going on inside and looked at Lu Jiamu at a loss.
This seems to be different from what he just described.
Lu Jiamu probably guessed that the butler had many interview plans waiting for them, not just "asking profound questions".
But there doesn't seem to be any sign of it stopping in the short term, which means Coleman is still safe.
He turned his attention to the other unfamiliar applicants.
Most of the applicants who had just rushed to grab the red pens had already lost their qualifications in the competition and harming others.
Most of those who are still alive are those who had just given up hope and decided to wait for death.
Lu Jiamu smiled and asked in a friendly manner: "What positions do you want to apply for?"
In comparison, the remaining applicants were more naive and had not yet had time to form a group. Now, when they heard Lu Jiamu's question, they asked back cautiously, "What do you want to apply for?"
They did not hide too much and directly stated the five positions they wanted to apply for.
The remaining applicants saw that they were in the same group and did not want to have a conflict with them right away, fearing that they would take advantage of the housekeeper's absence to harm them. Several of them expressed on the spot that they wanted to apply for the other four positions.
Lu Jiamu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Just now the housekeeper said that the positions in their company are first come first served, and they will be closed when they are full. It is not a competition system, so those who apply first have an advantage."
Those people didn't know what he was planning, and while they were confused, they vaguely took his words as reminders.
After a while, they panicked when they saw Coleman limping out of the small conference room with the butler.
Two people went in successively and both came out successfully. Could it be that the content inside is not difficult?
There are nine positions and each one is filled. If it weren't for the competition system, as long as someone else passed the interview first, they would be doomed.
