Chapter 11, 2%
Jiang Yu solves problems very quickly.
These questions were not difficult for him at all.
He finished the whole thing in less than 10 minutes out of the 90-minute time limit.
Then he carefully checked everything again from beginning to end to make sure that he had written the correct answer to each question.
He spent the rest of the time sitting there in a daze.
And he was thinking about how to get rid of his "sister" who had appeared out of nowhere.
Time passed second by second…
Finally, a mechanical electronic voice came from the speaker overhead.
"Exam time is up. Please stop writing, leave your exam papers on your desks, and leave the exam room in an orderly fashion!"
Click!
The door lock popped open automatically.
The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet examination room, like someone escaping from a locked room.
Jiang Yu stretched and stood up from his chair.
My buttocks are a little numb from sitting for so long.
He opened the door and went out.
In the corridor, other people also came out of their respective private rooms one after another.
Some were stretching, some were yawning...
Another guy, looking like he'd just woken up, bumped into a girl while still half asleep.
The entire corridor was filled with a sense of relaxation, as if someone had just finished taking their driving test.
Lin Wei stood expressionless at the end of the corridor, guiding everyone.
"Please return to the meeting room and rest for a while. I will notify you as soon as the written test results are available."
……
The group filed into the reception room and found seats.
Jiang Yu sat back down in the last row.
However, the minesweeper next to him was gone; he was probably sitting somewhere else.
Soon, the reception room became lively.
Everyone is discussing the content of the exam that just started.
"Ugh, this question is way too easy. I thought it would be much harder..."
"Yeah, they were all easy questions, and many of them made me laugh."
"I finished in just a few minutes, and then I've been sleeping ever since."
"Who isn't? I feel like the city planning bureau is insulting our intelligence..."
"Indeed, it feels like they're treating us like complete idiots."
"You can't say that, maybe they wanted to test everyone's basic knowledge?"
"That makes sense. After all, although these questions are simple, they cover a wide range of topics, including literature, history, art, and popular culture..."
"Perhaps the leadership has changed, and they've all been replaced by older generations born in the 90s, so their thinking is a bit more in line with the times."
Jiang Yu listened silently to everyone's discussion.
He is more supportive of the "idiot" theory.
These questions are simply insulting everyone's intelligence.
Any normal person could do that, right?
Unless they are mentally challenged.
and also…
A recruitment exam for a public institution doesn't test professional knowledge; instead, it tests knowledge of song lyrics, animation, and internet memes…
Is this reasonable?
Forget it, who cares if it's reasonable or not.
As long as you pay, I don't care how outrageous the questions are.
Jiang Yu didn't think any further; he was just about to close his eyes and doze off for a while...
But the voices in those discussions started to sound off.
"For the first question's lyrics, just close your eyes and choose B, okay? Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers!"
"Yes, yes, yes, my school even organized a song about the 56 constellations when I was little, and I chose B!"
"And what's with that 86 TV series 'Journey to the West' where the Sheep Demon is thrown into the boiling oil? That scene is nowhere to be found!"
"Absolutely none, it's obviously a distractor!"
"My daughter could answer the third question, 'Heaven bestows great responsibilities upon those who are capable,'"
"A thinker naturally rests their chin on their hand; would they rest their forehead on their hand?"
"Of course Mona Lisa has eyebrows, otherwise she'd be so ugly!"
"Pikachu's tail is pure yellow, okay..."
"..."
Jiang Yu's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Oh no, why did I choose something different from everyone else?
And it's not just one or two questions that are different...
All the questions are completely different!
What's going on?
Am I mistaken?
Or…
Are they all geniuses?
impossible!
There are definitely at least 56 ethnic groups, so when did it become 56 constellations?
This doesn't even make sense!
Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers?
What is the connection between constellations and flowers?
Also, the scene where Yangli Daxian is thrown into the oil pot definitely exists!
When I was a child in an orphanage, the director often organized us to watch the 86 version of "Journey to the West" together.
He remembered very clearly the scene of the Great Immortal Yang Li turning into a pile of bones in the oil pot.
But why do all the people at the scene say that this part wasn't there?
Jiang Yu felt his temples throbbing.
That familiar yet strange sense of absurdity surged into my heart once again.
It was as if the whole world was against him.
The most fatal thing is...
This means he definitely won't pass the written test.
Because the correct answer in his eyes is completely different from everyone else's.
……
About twenty minutes later.
The sound of high heels echoed down the corridor once more.
Lin Wei walked in carrying a list.
The meeting room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Lin Wei walked to the front, adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, and scanned the entire room with her gaze.
"The written test results are out."
First of all, thank you all for participating.
"Unfortunately, 98% of the people present did not pass the written test."
Only 2% of people qualified for the physical exam.
A commotion broke out in the reception room.
Oh my god...
What the heck is this huge disparity?
Just now you said even an idiot could do this problem…
As it turned out, 98% of the people present failed the written test…
Are there really that many idiots?
The commotion rose and fell, like a pot of porridge boiling.
Jiang Yu was also stunned.
Good grief, only 2% of people passed?
So most people answered incorrectly like me?
Okay, then I feel better.
It seems that those who gave the same answer were among the 2% who passed.
Lin Wei unfolded the list in her hand and began calling out names.
"Next, the six interviewees whose names are called, please follow me. The rest of you may leave."
"Chen Yutong, Zhou Zhu, Wan Jiayu, Zhao Mingyuan, Zhang Yang, Jiang Yu."
"?!"
I?
Jiang Yu was quite surprised to hear his own name.
I actually passed?
Use those "wrong answers" that are different from everyone else's?
This was something he truly hadn't expected.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever he was the only one who thought something was right, it turned out he was wrong.
Unexpectedly, this time the tables have turned completely.
It feels like winning the lottery.
He stood up, bewildered, and walked towards Lin Wei, glancing out of the corner of his eye at those who had failed the written test…
Those people's faces were filled with resentment and confusion...
It's normal for them to react this way.
Hundreds of people took the written test, and only six remained; everyone else was eliminated…
It would be hard for anyone to accept.
The key point is...
The fact that these six people advanced has made everyone very dissatisfied.
A young woman with dyed hair, a bald, tattooed man, a long-haired girl who looks malnourished, a pretentious man in a suit, a blond man with a lip piercing…
There's also a handsome guy whose looks could easily surpass Daniel Wu's.
A chorus of disbelief filled the reception room.
"Why were only those six people approved?"
"Is there some mistake?"
"Are these six people hired through connections?"
"I just want to ask, why aren't the written test results being released?!"
"Yeah, at least let everyone know the standard answer, right?"
"What happened to fairness, impartiality, and transparency?!"
