Chapter 331 The Lucky Ones
The candidates were shocked again, looked at each other, and their hearts beat faster. They didn't expect that they were the lucky ones among the 140,000 people who could come here.
"Since you were chosen by me from so many people, you must be stronger than others, so you don't need to be nervous or afraid, just do the questions bravely and give your best.
I know that many of you came here today, especially the educated youth who were assigned to various places around the world, with a desperate attitude. In fact, our country Xiahua has just started, and there are many places that need talents for future development and construction. As long as you don't stop learning and improving yourself, you will be able to realize your ideals and ambitions in various ways in the future!
Look, today is a rare opportunity.
The questions are not difficult, you must have confidence in yourself! "
As An Zhixia helped them tighten and loosen their muscles, everyone gradually calmed down, with their eyes showing the boldness and determination of young people.
When 8:15 arrived, there were still 14 examinees who had not arrived. The TV station door was closed and the staff began to distribute the test papers. Some staff held papers and asked the examinees to sign one by one, and verified their identities.
Everyone looked at the thick stack of test papers, and their hearts were lifted. They picked them up and browsed through them from front to back with practice and habit. They found that the questions were not difficult at all, and the papers at the back were blank papers for objective questions.
An Zhixia stood on the podium holding a simple telescope, observing their every move, occasionally writing and drawing on the signature sheet, which would affect their test scores.
For three hours, the candidates and staff were all tense, and when the whistle blew to signal the end of the exam, all the candidates put down their pens. They would rather get a few points less than be eliminated for writing one more word.
The staff began to collect the papers quickly, and Shao Tongfeng picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Our cafeteria provides free lunch. After the papers are collected, the candidates line up to get their meals. The interview will start at 1 pm. After the interview, the candidates will go home and wait for news. The results will be announced next Tuesday!
In addition, candidates who are educated youth can use their train tickets to go to the Finance Department to claim reimbursement for round-trip tickets and three nights’ accommodation expenses.”
The examinees had happy smiles on their faces and waited quietly for the staff to collect and check their papers before lining up to receive their meals.
Because there were so many candidates, the cafeteria prepared pies, one meat pie and one vegetable pie, one egg, a bowl of millet porridge and two pickled cucumbers for each person.
The station directors felt so bad for the supply and marketing cooperative. "Deputy station director Xiao An, this supply and marketing cooperative has invested a lot in the past month, right? Can we bring them enough profit returns? How do we do it?
The department store and several manufacturers are now demanding payment every day, saying that the previous advertisements had no effect at all and they want a full refund.”
An Zhixia smiled and said, "Of course, the supply and marketing cooperative is playing the long game. As for the department store and those manufacturers, let them produce their bills. When the overseas channel's foreign profits come down at the beginning of the month, we will pay them off first and settle the score with them. If they want to advertise in the future, they will follow our new investment promotion system. There will be no discounts at all!"
After dinner, the candidates lined up in fifty long queues, walked forward one by one, bypassed the background cloth and walked forward one hundred meters to reach the interview area. After the interview, they picked up their belongings from the other side and left, ensuring that everyone had equal opportunities.
The interview content is very simple. You will be asked to pick two questions out of fifty. You will have to think about the answer for five minutes and then perform a talent you are good at, even if it is reciting poetry.
There are two examiners in each group. An Zhixia, Shao Tongfeng and eight other capable first-batch overseas channel group employees each listen to five groups at the same time, trying not to miss any potential employees.
At the end of the day, everyone was tired but excited. After dinner, they gathered in four meeting rooms and began to correct the test papers.
The objective questions have standard answers, while the subjective questions are graded by more than a dozen people including An Zhixia.
The division of labor was clear and everyone was very efficient. We finished correcting the objective questions in less than half an hour, added the test performance scores, and then pasted the corresponding interview scores and comments.
After everyone finished their get off work, they went home. An Zhixia and her group continued to mark the subjective questions, while the directors helped to calculate the scores and then copied them into the table one by one.
In fact, it was not slow to correct the subjective questions, but there were too many of them. No one wanted to put it off, so they gritted their teeth and worked until two in the morning. In order to avoid making mistakes, they quickly went through them again and picked out the papers with excellent answers.
At this time, they did not go home, but went to the family quarters. Their houses had been renovated and dried for several days, so they were still OK for one night.
An Zhixia also took her brother to her home, and the two of them simply washed up and fell asleep.
The next day, after the morning meeting, they worked normally, and An Zhixia began to copy the scores from high to low, opening the test papers from time to time to check.
After being busy all day, her wrists were sore from writing. She finally put together the list with the help of her brother and Shao Tongfeng.
Fang Yuan felt so distressed when he saw how exhausted she was, but he couldn't ask her to stay at home and take care of her. He could only take her and the children to a private kitchen to eat something good, then send her home and give her a good massage on her wrists, shoulders and cervical spine.
As a result, she fell asleep on the bed, humming comfortably.
He squatted beside her lovingly, gently stroking her facial features with his hands, kissed her forehead lovingly, and stared at her for a long time. Only when An Zhiqiu kept knocking on the door to urge him did he tiptoe to open the door and leave.
Before dawn on Tuesday, the wall outside the TV station was filled with people. This time, there were not only young candidates, but also their families, and the hustle and bustle took over the entire street.
As usual, An Zhixia and An Zhiqiu went to make several copies of the list, then carried the glue to the entrance of the unit, and under the protection of the security guard, they posted the transcripts one by one, two sets on the left side of the door, and two sets on the right side.
Of the 2,000 candidates, 14 were absent. Of the 370 educated youth, 230 were admitted successfully, and 580 of the other candidates achieved relatively satisfactory results. This was 70 to 80 more than An Zhixia had expected!
Seeing that they were admitted, everyone hugged and shouted with joy to their families, and some educated youth squatted on the curb and cried loudly with their hands covering their faces in surprise. Those who were not admitted looked at others with envy, and walked away with heavy steps with their shoulders drooped in despair.
An Zhixia and the others sighed as they waited for the crowd to calm down, then they smiled friendly and reminded them to take their IDs to the Human Resources Department as soon as possible to go through the employment procedures.
