"My name is Tang Xueke, 32 years old, local from Qionghua City, graduated from Yueji University with a Ph.D., studied architecture, and hold a Level 1 architect certificate. I previously worked at New Forest Architecture Firm..."
As she slowly recited her information, Yang Yangyang and others were impressed, not expecting the first interviewee to be such a talent.
Although the number of Ph.D. students has increased compared to the past, talents like Tang Xueke, who graduated from Yueji University, possess both a certificate and an educational degree, and are young and experienced, are still very rare.
No wonder this lady looks so confident. She indeed possesses the strength to be confident.
The group was naturally very pleased with her qualifications.
However, pleased as they were, there were still some questions that needed to be clarified.
"Ms. Tang, we recognize your basic qualifications, but there are a few side questions we need to ask," Su Changqing spoke up.
Tang Xueke looked towards this gentleman with a mild demeanor and then nodded politely.
"Okay, Ms. Tang, what is your view on the Transcendent events that have been circulating on the internet recently?"
Tang Xueke pondered for a moment and then spoke softly, "I have never encountered them, do not understand the truth, and have no comment."
"Hmm, standard and rational," they thought to themselves.
Su Changqing continued, "Then, do you believe that real mysteries exist in this world?"
When she heard this, Tang Xueke froze slightly, and although somewhat confused by the continuous similar questions, she responded:
"Well, it’s hard to say. I’m not quite sure, but if it actually happened in front of me, I should be able to accept it. If it’s just rumors about mysteries, I wouldn’t propagate or question them."
Su Changqing nodded upon hearing this. Hmm, a typical neutral personality.
Such people usually do not waste much time paying attention to matters not involving them, and they are more purposeful and efficient in their work, which aligns with the life views of most young people today.
Subsequently, Su Changqing asked a few more similar questions, all related to recent Transcendent events. The questions were mostly similar to those from an online survey conducted by Sun Hao earlier, but this time they included more subjectivity, requiring the respondent to specifically state the reasons and motives for their actions.
At first, Tang Xueke felt somewhat baffled by these peculiar questions, but having never eaten pork doesn’t mean she’s never seen a pig run; she soon understood the purpose behind them.
She guessed that these questions were likely designed to test her psychological resilience, using choices to assess her logic and reasoning, observing if they aligned with the company’s selection criteria.
Of course, her guess was not misplaced, but not entirely accurate either.
Beyond the reasons stated, they also wanted to evaluate her mental endurance.
After all, these weren’t just casual questions; they were about what she would truly have to face in the future.
Who would have thought that real Transcendent forces exist in this world? Right in front of them.
Immediately after, Su Changqing and others asked a few more baffling questions that seemed unrelated to the job and mental evaluation, making Tang Xueke even more puzzled.
For instance, Ji Xiaoqi, who was seated to the right, asked her if she cooked when she was alone at home, if she ate seafood, and if she had ever grown vegetables.
Sitting to the left, Yang Yangyang inquired about claustrophobia, megalophobia, and if she had any allergies to plants.
Seated in the middle, Su Changqing directly asked whether she had a boyfriend, how many people were in her family, and who she lived with usually...
These questions made Tang Xueke feel as though she wasn’t at a job interview but at some large matchmaking event.
However, considering the handsome men and great benefits, she answered each one, after all, though the questions were peculiar, they weren’t any secretive issues, so she readily answered them.
After Su Changqing and others had finished their questions, Tang Xueke still had her own doubts that needed answers. The salary and benefits offered were incredibly tempting, but she had one crucial question, where exactly was she going to work?
Although this question had previously been addressed, with confidentiality requirements mentioned as reasons for not disclosing details, Tang Xueke was still not quite convinced and tried indirectly to find out more specific information about the job location.
Money is good, but one needs to be alive to spend it.
Although she trusted that Snow Crystal Group wouldn’t deliberately harm her, she was concerned about the work environment.
If it were in countries with low safety standards, she might end up kidnapped as a hostage; anything was possible.
Yang Yangyang and others were obviously aware of her concerns.
Ji Xiaoqi sorted through the resume Tang Xueke had filled out and then said to her, who was still worried:
"Regarding your question, we can understand, but please don’t worry, you have passed the first round of the interview. Later today at 4 PM, we hope you can come to the Edge of the World Pavilion’s Room 9, where we will conduct the second round of reevaluation."
"Then you can first sign a confidentiality agreement, and we will disclose some information about the job location to you so that you can decide whether to join our company."
Hearing this, Tang Xueke felt relieved. If that was the case, she really could go and check out the work details to make a decision.
With that, the first interviewee successfully passed the preliminary test, which was a joyful event for Yang Yangyang and the two others. Having a good start was always pleasant.
After Tang Xueke left, it wasn’t long before they welcomed the second interviewee, a young man who had just graduated, applying for the position of construction engineer.
Unlike Tang Xueke’s architect role, although there was only a slight difference in title, construction engineers and architects undertake entirely different work.
The main job of an architect involves architectural design and similar areas, typically working in environments like firms.
Whereas a construction engineer is stationed at the construction site, executing overall command and coordination, needing to understand technology, economics, regulations, and more, which constitutes a high composite quality position.
However, Yang Yangyang and others were disappointed that this recent graduate who came to interview for the construction engineer position, although qualified, had never participated in any actual fieldwork.
Busy with exams right after graduation, even though he earned his certificate, it was all theoretical, clueless about several practical questions put forward by Su Changqing, leading the group to reluctantly pass on him.
