[The results are out! The results are out! Come and see if any of your favorite contestants have been selected!]
[With 100 applicants, only 10 will be selected; the competition is fierce. The food factory is hiring a bit more, about 50 people.]
[This is considered intense?! You have no idea how intense competition is in real life!]
[The five-man manure-collecting team—not a single one passed the exam. I don't know what I was expecting, even meticulously taking screenshots and comparing them one by one.]
[We got it! We got it! Qu Lixin's 21st ranked food factory scored just one point more than the 22nd ranked factory!]
[Xie Chunmei came in first place at the soap factory, and Wang Cuihua came in sixteenth at the food factory. Thank goodness, both sisters made it!]
Looking forward to succeeding!!!
[Receive good luck! Pass every exam! Double your luck!]
[Passed the college entrance exam!!!]
May you make a fortune! May everything go smoothly!
[The old man with the best penmanship at the shoe factory also won! He's the number one in the shoe factory!!]
[Sheng Xiuqin, who makes wild vegetable steamed buns, also passed the exam! She ranked third in the food factory exam!! Auntie is so amazing!!!]
[Is no one paying attention to the calligraphy on these red notices? It's so well-written! The ink at the bottom was still dry when they were hung up. Was it written by an NPC? That's amazing!]
Wow, the top three can be group leaders!!! That's awesome!
[Even NPCs passed the exam. Those who failed, I wonder if there will be other job exams. If they still fail and have no income, they'll starve to death in the city. It feels worse than the countryside, at least there's work and food.]
[Have you forgotten about the old master fitter?! The steel mill will probably start posting job openings in a few days once all the equipment arrives.]
Xie Chunmei and Wang Cuihua were very happy to see the list of successful participants, but many contestants and NPCs were not among them.
It can be said that some are happy while others are sad, each with their own joys and sorrows.
Qu Lixin was busy getting Ouyang Weidong a new identity when he went to the black market in the county town again.
The burly man crossed his arms and said, "Five cents for admission."
Qu Lixin came prepared this time, his back straightening considerably. "I'm here to sell goods."
The burly man lowered his eyes and glanced at him. "Where's the stuff?"
Qu Lixin opened the small package, revealing a hint of gold. "Can we go in now?"
"Sellers want 40% of the transaction amount."
Qu Lixin jumped up and down, "Forty percent?! Go ahead and rob me!"
The burly man remained silent, his expression conveying an attitude that said, "You can leave if you don't want to."
Qu Lixin was speechless, but he knew that he probably wouldn't get a good price elsewhere. There were banks in the county, but he wasn't satisfied with the prices. Also, he needed to get Ouyang Weidong a new identity document.
"Alright."
After Qu Lixin agreed, the burly man stepped aside, clearing half of the alleyway, and quietly asked, "Can I get an ID card?"
The burly man's eyes lit up, a suppressed joy playing on his lips. How long had it been? These contestants had already reached this level! Wow, they were really clever!
Qu Lixin was unsure of himself, but when he saw the burly man nod and throw a stone into the neighboring yard, a person soon emerged from the alley.
"Go in with him."
Is this show really that immersive? But you know what, it actually has a great atmosphere.
"You're lucky today, Fifth Master happens to be here. Blindfold yourself, I'll take you inside, but don't look around."
Qu Lixin was blindfolded and didn't know how he was tied up. He couldn't see outside at all. After walking for a while, he finally entered through a small door.
"Fifth Master, this person wants to know his identification."
Qu Lixin took off the cloth strip and looked at Fifth Master drinking tea from a purple clay teapot, his face instantly turning red.
"I'm a fan of yours, can I take a picture with you?"
This Fifth Master is none other than Xu Aiguo, the old man who happened to be on vacation today and came to make a guest appearance. He has a youthful voice and abs and pecs.
Mr. Xu Aiguo has starred in many TV series produced by Feiyang Entertainment. His portrayal of the old man in the recently popular drama "A Hundred Years of Silence" became a hot topic when he left the show, and he now has quite a few fans.
Qu Lixin fell in love with Xu Aiguo after watching "Asking the Heavens". When the old man put on ancient costume, he looked like a Taoist immortal. Coupled with his smooth and elegant action scenes, he fulfilled all of Qu Lixin's expectations, who had dreamed of being a martial arts hero since childhood.
Xu Aiguo was surprised that the contestant was his fan, and his stern face broke into a smile. "There are no cameras here. Come find me at the theater when we get out, and I'll take a picture with you."
Qu Lixin blushed and nodded repeatedly, her head spinning like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing him nod, Xu Aiguo also began to get into character, his eyes showing three parts disdain and five parts scrutiny. He put down the teapot and asked, "So, you're the one who wanted to see me?"
Qu Lixin felt like he was about to be roasted alive! My god, seeing the old man act up close was amazing!!! The sense of oppression was off the charts!!! Look, that's what professionalism looks like!!! He truly deserves my patronage!!! A huge shout-out to Xu Aiguo!!!
Grandpa Xu Aiguo waited for a while, and seeing that the young man's face was flushed and his eyes were bright but he didn't speak, he thought that maybe he was in a bad mood just now and the other party couldn't concentrate, so he prepared to speak again.
Unexpectedly, Qu Lixin blushed and said, "Fifth Master, I'm here to help my friend get a new identity document. These gold bars are my reward."
Grandpa Xu Aiguo was surprised that this kid, who didn't seem stupid, acted so foolishly. He handed him all the gold bars directly, not even afraid that the kid would cheat him. What a worrying little fan.
"We don't need that many identity documents."
"The rest is for you too."
Looking at the bewildered Qu Lixin, Old Master Xu sighed deeply. "Fine," he said, "the commission rate can't be changed, it's at least 20%. I'll give you the rest in the form of vouchers. Are there any requirements for identification?"
Qu Lixin shook his head so hard it looked like a rattle-drum. "No requests." Ouyang Weidong didn't have so many demands. The old man had already processed his identity certificate, so he should be secretly happy. How could he dare to make any requests! Qu Lixin was thinking about whether he should also get an identity certificate issued by the old man. Then he thought, forget it, I'd better get more stuff and money to take to the black market. That way I can see the old man up close more often.
At that moment, Ouyang Weidong, who was hiding in Qu Lixin's dormitory, sneezed. Who was thinking about him? Niu Baoguo?
Niu Baoguo, whom Ouyang Weidong had remembered, looked at Ouyang Weidong's fifteen-yuan reward notice on the bulletin board and felt bitter. He hadn't passed the exam for the food factory, and he couldn't find Ouyang Weidong either, and he dared not take out the gold bars.
The subsidies from the program team are almost gone. Niu Baoguo is a recent high school graduate. In the city, there's only a small, shared toilet and no kitchen, but at least it's free. The only problem is there's no salary. Once the money runs out, even food will be a problem. Not to mention, he can't even pass the job recruitment exam, which is truly heartbreaking.
Fifteen dollars! That's a month's wages for an apprentice! And it just slipped right through his fingers.
There was once a fat sheep in front of him, but he did not cherish it. Only when the sheep disappeared did he regret it.
Let them record the show. At worst, we can report them and give Ouyang Weidong a small share of the money. I believe he would be willing to do that, right?
