[Chapter 21 Special Skills]
However, this thought only stayed in Shen Yuyao's mind for a moment before she threw it aside.
Knowing that she was just a runner-up this time, she felt very relaxed at the moment.
What does it matter whether your grades are good or bad?
As long as you take it seriously, it will be a great experience.
She uncapped her pen and began to answer the questions.
The moment the pen touched the paper, Shen Yuyao discovered that this body seemed to have its own memories, and it began to write skillfully without her command.
At first, her mind couldn't keep up with her body.
But after writing a few words, Shen Yuyao could clearly feel that her memory had completely merged with the consciousness left by the original owner.
She became completely one with this body.
The knowledge and skills that the original owner had mastered completely became hers at this moment.
Shen Yuyao writes very quickly.
Neither the Chinese language content at the beginning nor the arithmetic problems at the end were any problem for her.
It even felt too easy.
The stipulated examination time was one hour, but Shen Yuyao finished the paper in less than half an hour.
She quietly looked up at the six people in front of her.
She found that two people had finished the test paper like her, and the remaining four were still concentrating on writing.
Shen Yuyao had no choice but to lower her head again.
Just then, a middle-aged woman who was probably in her forties and had a serious face walked towards the examination room.
Behind her followed Deputy Section Chief Cai.
This is Ren Hongqin, the new deputy director of the Commerce Bureau.
When Ren Hongqin walked to the entrance of the examination room, she gestured to Deputy Section Chief Cai, asking him to stay where he was, and she walked in herself.
After entering the examination room, Ren Hongqin did not say anything, but walked around the seven candidates and looked at their papers.
The more she looked, the colder her eyes became.
She stopped until she reached Shen Yuyao.
Ren Hongqin was amazed by the beautiful handwriting on the paper!
She first looked at the name above the paper, then looked at Shen Yuyao twice more, and then a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Ren Hongqin did not stay in the examination room for long. She walked around and left.
But her arrival made the other six people present completely uneasy.
Except for Shen Yuyao, everyone else who can come here to take the exam has family background and connections.
Who doesn't know the reason why this exam is held?
So as soon as Ren Hongqin appeared, everyone knew her identity and couldn't help but become nervous.
The two people who had finished the test paper were fine, but the remaining four people had difficulty answering the questions in the first place, and the interruption made them even more unable to answer the questions that they were already not good at to begin with.
So as soon as the papers were collected, one girl immediately lay down on the table and started crying.
But Ren Hongqin did not give these candidates time to complain.
When they packed up and prepared to leave, Ren Hongqin and Deputy Section Chief Cai appeared again.
This time they brought seven abacuses and a stack of white paper.
Looking at the abacus, everyone was shocked!
Shen Yuyao was also shocked.
She didn't expect that the exam would also include abacus.
But this is really a good thing for her.
As the only daughter of the prime minister's family, Shen Yuyao began to learn how to manage the household from her mother at the age of eight.
When she was twelve years old, her mother gave her a rouge shop and let her take full charge of it.
When she was fifteen years old and came of age, all the shops in the capital city that were part of his dowry were given to her.
Although all she did was to check the accounts, she would ask the shopkeepers to ask questions from time to time and visit the shop from time to time.
But over the years, she has accumulated a lot of experience in business operations.
Apart from anything else, no one dared to tamper with the accounts under her nose.
He is even more skilled at using the abacus.
A'niang said that her abilities had already surpassed those of many accountants.
Seeing that she would be tested on using an abacus, Shen Yuyao suddenly felt a little more confident about the test.
She felt that if there was a little bit of fairness, she would have some hope of passing the exam.
At this time, Ren Hongqin had already asked Deputy Section Chief Cai and the young man to distribute abacus and white paper to the candidates below.
Only then did the candidates see that there were a total of ten questions written on the white paper, all of which were mixed addition and subtraction operations.
Each question involves more than ten steps of addition and subtraction, and the numbers range from thousands to hundreds to several decimal places.
Looking at the question, another girl started crying.
The others also showed strong dissatisfaction in their expressions.
A boy sitting in the first row finally couldn't help but protest: "Deputy Director Ren, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for us? None of us have ever learned how to use an abacus, so who can solve this problem?"
His question was echoed by almost everyone below.
Ren Hongqin had obviously anticipated such a reaction. She did not get angry after hearing this. Instead, she asked, "Have you read the job announcement?"
The questioning below suddenly stopped.
The job notice was posted for no more than half an hour. Who would go and see it?
Besides, they didn't need to see it.
Shen Yuyao had naturally seen it, but at this time she just blinked and did not answer.
Ren Hongqin's eyes swept across the entire room, and when she saw Shen Yuyao, she couldn't help but linger for a few seconds.
She then continued, "The job posting specifically mentioned that candidates with special skills would be selected for admission.
What are special skills?
We are recruiting sales clerks for department stores, so the skills required must naturally be related to the job.
For example, if you are good at using an abacus, that is called a special skill; if you are good at estimating weights, that is also called a special skill.
Or maybe you can calculate sizes and quickly work out how much cloth a customer needs to make clothes based on his height and weight. This is also what we need, and this can also help us select the best candidates for admission.
But if you say you are good at somersaults, that's definitely not right. We are not an acrobatic troupe, so no matter how high your somersaults are, it will be of no use to us, right?"
Her words were so humorous that the candidates below couldn't help laughing.
Ren Hongqin brought the topic back to the topic, and she said: "Being able to do arithmetic and quickly figure out how much money should be charged to the customer and how much change should be given is a basic skill that a salesperson must have.
If you can calculate quickly, that is your advantage.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to use an abacus, it’s just a tool.
You can do mental arithmetic or written arithmetic, as long as you can ensure that the calculations are accurate and fast, you will pass. "
At this point, she clapped her hands and said, "From now on, no matter what method you use, we will select the top six with the best scores."
As soon as Ren Hongqin finished speaking, the candidates below quickly took action.
This time no one could raise any doubts again.
Some people picked up the abacus, and some people took the draft paper on the side.
Just when everyone was concentrating on doing the questions, a crisp crackling sound suddenly came from the back.
The sound was crisp and loud, like jade beads falling on a plate, which directly attracted people's attention.
Almost everyone turned their heads subconsciously.
Then they saw what it meant to be "quick eyes and quick hands."
No one expected that the quiet woman who came last would have such a good plan!
As everyone was looking on in shock, Shen Yuyao stopped what she was doing and filled in the last number neatly on the paper.
Then she raised her head, looked at Ren Hongqin who was standing in the front, and said softly, "I'm done."
All the candidates present gasped at the same time!
