Chapter 4, a poem "The Sea Swallow" astonished the audience
Zhang Ye, however, without a moment's hesitation, said, "Teacher, thank you for your kindness. I understand that with my qualifications, this path is quite difficult, but I only wish to apply for the position of broadcasting host." This was the extent of his commitment to his dream. If he had wanted to switch to another profession, he would have done so long ago and would not still be searching for a job today
Amidst their doubts and ridicule, Zhang Ye harnessed the energy from his dantian, opened his eyes, and spoke. The first sentence left all the interviewers present with their mouths agape.
The expressions of the other interviewers varied greatly. Zhang Ye's recent performance indeed left everyone speechless. It was clear that Zhang Ye was a capable individual, but in the broadcasting and hosting industry, appearance is a significant drawback. Aside from a few exceptional talents who manage to stand out, almost no one can break this norm. Therefore, it was evident from the second question that Li Honglian and the others were not planning to give Zhang Ye even the slightest opportunity. Russian? Aside from a few exceptional talents who manage to stand out, almost no one can break this norm. Therefore, it was evident from the second question that Li Honglian and the others were not planning to give Zhang Ye even the slightest opportunity. Russian? Zhang Ye's resume was right in front of them, and it only listed English as the foreign language he mastered. The university only taught this; it was not a foreign language department. Even if he had a formal education, the teachers wouldn't have the time to teach Russian! The other party wouldn't know this language, let alone compose poetry. If he couldn't even speak it, how could he create anything?
Gorky's "The Seagull"
Li Honglian shook her head in frustration and said angrily, "Well, I am the head of the foreign language frequency. There are many talented English broadcasters in the station, but we have always lacked individuals with a gift for Russian. The original intention of this recruitment is to find someone with a certain foundation in Russian. If you can present us with a modern poem in Russian that satisfies us, then I will give you a perfect score in the interview"
If it doesn't work, let's move on to the next candidate. Li Honglian dismissed the guest and turned to the next resume.
It has been a long time without any response from www.hetushu.com, and the interviewers are gradually losing patience. Each person speaks a sentence, and they do not believe that the other can speak Russian at all. Isn't this a joke!
Indoors
Do we still need to compose original poetry? The interviewer in the back thought, what is this all about? Just move on to the next person. Even those majoring in Russian would find it nearly impossible to write poetry in Russian, let alone someone who doesn't understand Russian at all
This is a well-known Russian poem in his world, even prominently featured in middle school textbooks. This poem precisely expresses Zhang Ye's emotions at this moment to a certain extent. He recited it with great enjoyment, especially the last line, which he almost shouted out!
Russian
Zhao Guozhou, feeling a bit reluctant, added, "Xiao Zhang, it's not too late for you to reconsider. I still stand by what I said; you don't need to take the second question. I will arrange another behind-the-scenes position for you."
Zhang Ye anticipated that the second interview question would not be easy, but he did not expect it to be like this, leaving him with no glimmer of hope. Russian? Zhang Ye could barely speak English fluently, having only achieved the most basic passing level required for graduation. How could he possibly know any nonsense about Russian? Damn it, just because of my appearance, I have to take a more difficult path than others? I have to endure so much unfair treatment and harassment? Why? Damn it, just because of my appearance, I have to take a more difficult path than others? I have to endure so much unfair treatment and harassment? Why? Why do you all think I am incapable? Why is there no one who can give me a chance to prove myself? I just want fairness! Is that so difficult?
Forget it, you haven't even studied Russian. Come back for an interview next time
Zhang Ye had been holding in a lot of anger, repeatedly making things difficult for me. Are you all not done yet? You want an original poem in Russian, right? Fine! I will compose one for you today! So what if I don't know Russian? Zhang Ye has never studied Russian, but that does not mean he cannot write Russian poetry! Do these two statements contradict each other? In fact, they do not contradict at all. Thinking back to his university days, the teachers in the broadcasting department would always present various challenges to train them. For instance, Zhang Ye clearly remembers that during the second half of his junior year, their voice training instructor found a Russian foreign teacher to record a famous Russian prose poem in standard Russian pronunciation, and forced Zhang Ye and his classmates to memorize it. Zhang Ye and his classmates suffered greatly, recalling that it took them a full month to memorize it. Looking back, that period was truly a nightmare, but after memorizing it, Zhang Ye realized the teacher's intention. His articulation skills and memory had greatly improved. This method of memorization through rote learning, rather than understanding the literal meaning, is very challenging and I believe that those with formal training have all experienced it.

Everyone is foolish
A silence pervades the air
Just after the interviewers posed their questions, they thought Zhang Ye was expressionless and considered him a fool. Now it seems that he was actually composed and confident, not taking this nearly one-thousand-word impromptu speech seriously at all. In contrast, it makes the interviewers appear somewhat foolish.
Zhang Ye recalled the fundamentals from his junior year while saying, "Prose poetry is also acceptable, right? https://www.hetushu.com/com?"
Chen Tianmo
The remaining interviewers looked at Director Li with darkened eyes, all aware that only Director Li understood Russian
Zhao Guozhou shrugged his shoulders, this fellow still does not heed advice
Zhang Ye suddenly remembered that he had seen Chen Tianmo while searching online. He is one of the most famous poets in the country today. While modifying the background, Zhang Ye noticed that the poetry collection of Xu Zhimo on the windowsill had transformed into that of Chen Tianmo. He almost forgot that this world no longer had figures like Xu Zhimo and Pushkin; instead, it was filled with poets from this world and works he had never seen before. Zhang Ye then realized, and his expression shifted. He had not read the poetry of this world, so the people here must not have heard of the renowned works and poems from his own world.

Li Honglian also smacked her lips and said, "Are you sure? Let me give you a heads-up: the second interview question will not be easier than the first. It's almost impossible to think otherwise, young man. It's not that we are deliberately making things difficult for you; that's just how interviews work. We will provide questions of corresponding difficulty based on the qualifications of the candidates. Your qualifications truly do not even meet the threshold for broadcasting and hosting, so the questions will naturally be quite challenging. This means you must demonstrate talent that surpasses everyone else in order to compensate for your shortcomings. I suggest you consider Director Zhao's words carefully."
What language is this?
Is it not still a form of difficulty?
Zhao Guozhou turned his head to glance at Li Honglian's face, remaining silent, which could be considered as tacit approval
"Good." After these words, Zhang Ye closed his eyes and fell silent, as he was brewing his emotions
Prose poetry? Li Honglian was left speechless, and prose poetry? This is even more difficult than ordinary modern poetry, not to mention foreign prose poetry. In Li Honglian's view, it is simply not a matter of difficulty. She is the only one among these people who has a slight understanding of Russian. However, when encountering some prose poetry, Li Honglian found it extremely awkward and laborious to read, let alone write her own poetry. This Xiao Zhang is quite something, making grand statements with his eyes wide open. "If you insist on choosing more difficult prose poetry, I won't stop you, as long as it is original Russian poetry, any subject matter is fine."

"If you insist on choosing more difficult prose poetry, I won't stop you, as long as it is original Russian poetry, any subject matter is fine."
Li Honglian tapped her nails against the teacup, producing a tinkling sound. "The poem must be your own original work; do not recite well-known pieces by famous figures like Chen Tianmo or Wills. What I am looking for is your linguistic foundation, as well as the literary depth that arises from your language. These are interconnected. Begin now."

Can you really talk?
Zhang Ye spoke faster and faster, his voice laced with arrogance, his emotions tinged with indifference, for this poem required precisely this recitative emotion
However, if Zhang Ye were given a perfect score, it would mean that hiring him is a foregone conclusion. Although this young man's written exam results are not outstanding among the more than twenty candidates who passed, the differences among them are not significant. Moreover, the interview is the most critical in determining scores; an eighty is already considered a high score. Therefore, if he were to receive a perfect score, he would undoubtedly rank among the top two out of more than twenty candidates. However, Zhang Ye's qualifications do not meet their expectations; his appearance is too ordinary. Even radio hosts who do not appear on screen still need to show their faces at events and in public settings. If one's appearance is lacking, it can affect the audience's enthusiasm for listening. Thus, factors such as appearance and height are unavoidable.
Can we not waste any more time? There are others waiting in line behind you. You should go back; your qualifications are truly not suitable for broadcasting and hosting
Are you ready
You at m. hetushu. com are deliberately making things difficult
Do you still write poetry in Russian
Zhang Ye is a very stubborn person, still resolute, "No need to consider it, please proceed to the second question."
After looking back, they found that Li Honglian's eyes were even wider than theirs, and without saying a word, everyone instantly understood
Not taking the exam
Zhao Guozhou sighed and said to Zhang Ye earnestly: "Xiao Zhang, it is evident from both the written test and the interview that you are a rare talent, and you have graduated from a reputable institution. We should indeed welcome you, and in fact, we do. However, you... have chosen the wrong major. I need not mention your appearance; I believe your university professors have also commented on this aspect. The broadcasting industry is like this. Here’s what I can do: I will give you a backdoor opportunity. We won’t need to conduct a second interview. Our radio station has many positions available; as long as it is a behind-the-scenes role other than broadcasting, you can choose any, and I will approve it directly. You can bring your documents and report for duty tomorrow. If you wish to continue in the hosting industry, it will truly not be easy. Please consider my words."
Who are all these people? They seem quite familiar
I go to your grandmother
You really know how to speak Russian!
Watch for ten seconds? Deliver over nine hundred words without a script?
Ah?
Wells
Li Honglian hesitated, "Old Zhao?"
A poem, please
In fact, they had no intention of asking a second question at all; they wanted to eliminate Zhang Ye in the first round. However, under the current circumstances, the seven or eight interviewers were looking at each other, unsure of how to score. Based on the performance during the interview, this young man should be given a score of one hundred; no, it would not be excessive to give him two hundred!
Why hasn't it started yet
Why not take the exam
What kind of extraordinary person is capable of achieving this
Zhao Guozhou stared blankly for a moment, then hurriedly looked at Li Honglian, "Old Li? What is this?"
