Chapter 6, Recruitment Storm (3)
However, Pei Shao also took advantage of this brief moment to engage in a swift exchange with the castle
My name is Pei Shao
Pei Shao had not yet answered those questions when he began to backtrack. He wanted to say that he couldn't do it and quickly leave. However, at that moment, a remarkably assertive voice echoed in his ears, "Put the resume in front of her!"
In this case... that would be fine! Lin Meijing probably thinks that if these individuals do not encounter a few difficult problems, they will not retreat in the face of challenges.
"I will say it again, please leave immediately! Otherwise..." Lin Meijing's words were only halfway through when she was abruptly interrupted by Pei Shao, who had just been flustered and red-faced: "Miss Lin, why do you only look at the resume and not at the actual situation? I believe that if you were to ask me a few questions, no matter how difficult they may be, I would still have the confidence to answer them!"
Lin Meijing was about to faint
The second contestant to take the stage is a top graduate from Renmin University. His score was slightly higher than that of the previous contestant, as he recited thirty-seven digits, once again eliciting gasps of astonishment from those around him
Lin Meijing nodded in satisfaction while listening, clearly impressed by this person's remarkable memory
Heaven
"Why?" Pei Shao lowered his head and asked in a soft voice. This action immediately caused the girl who called herself Lin Meijing to furrow her brows slightly
"Mr. Castle, can your electronic eye be used for X-ray purposes and does it have a perspective function?"
Lin Meijing, sitting in front of Pei Shao, was even more surprised. However, before she could speak, the two talented students from the Renmin University of China’s journalism department and the overseas student from Australia, who had been hiding in the crowd watching the excitement, jumped out together and exclaimed: "That’s right! We can also answer any questions!"
However, the castle in his pocket repeatedly demanded that he maintain a steady gaze and a calm expression, so Pei Shao could only brace himself and follow the castle's instructions.
Within one minute, if you can remember the first thirty digits of this set of numbers, then you will pass the test
Stop! Lin Meijing retracted the note and said: "Several of you can start counting now! Who will go first?"
This time, it was the Australian high achiever who found it difficult to maintain composure. In contrast, the graduate from Renmin University wore a look of pride.
Next, Lin Meijing indeed spoke in an angry tone: "Mr. Pei, what kind of joke is this? With your current resume, do you think you qualify to meet my previous requirements? Our company does not welcome men who like to boast. I personally find it extremely distasteful. Please leave immediately, otherwise I will have to call security!"
Pei Shao, who had set his mind at ease, immediately rushed over. While pretending to recite, he silently inhaled the fragrance emanating from Lin Meijing.
After this person recited thirty-five digits in one breath, he received a round of applause from those around him. On the other hand, the expression of the graduate from Renmin University began to grow serious. In contrast, Pei Shao appeared confident and even smiled at the people around him
"OK!" The three of them exchanged glances and said in unison. At this moment, many spectators gathered around, pointing and whispering about the three of them.
Lin Meijing let out an "oh" and lowered her head to look at Pei Shao's resume. She thought that even if Pei Shao's background was not as strong as that of the previous two individuals, it would at least be comparable. However, upon closer inspection, Lin Meijing was completely shocked. Pei Shao could even see that when Lin Meijing raised her head again, there was a hint of anger in her eyes
Perhaps she felt that she had been teased or deceived! Pei Shao smiled wryly to himself
He began to speak at a leisurely pace: "At the thirtieth position, he intentionally glanced at those two top students and let out a deliberately awkward 'uh.' The two top students immediately felt delighted, thinking to themselves that indeed, students from a third-rate university are just third-rate, and they are clearly not comparable to us!" However, Pei Shao's subsequent reporting of numbers was as precise as a computer, which astonished everyone present, including Lin Meijing.
Because such a challenging task suits my taste. Alright, do not ask any further, please do as I say, put down the resume, and then raise your head to look directly at the other person! The tone of the castle was undeniably authoritative. Pei Shao licked his dry tongue, raised his head, and tried to maintain calmness while locking eyes with Lin Meijing.
This remark immediately elicited a chorus of boos from those around. Their expressions were incredibly varied as they looked at Pei Shao, some with disdain, some with glee at his misfortune, and others finding a sense of balance in him.
Okay
15697, 65489! A spectator below exclaimed in astonishment: "Heavens, which number is this? The one hundred and twenty-sixth?" The chart that Lin Meijing presented was from a recreational number game organized by her magazine in one of its issues, containing over three hundred digits. The intention was for readers to discover patterns among these hundreds of digits, but the answer to this pattern problem was exceedingly difficult. Even Lin Meijing herself could not answer it before looking at the solution.
Lin Meijing was momentarily taken aback, but soon revealed a barely perceptible smile, "May I ask how you would like to be addressed?"
Finally, it was Pei Shao's turn to take the stage
Pei Shao spoke the above words with neither humility nor arrogance, and the cold sweat flowing from his palms had completely soaked his wrinkled pants, which he had tightly clenched. Fortunately, no one noticed this. His previous remarks were indeed too arrogant, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Lin Meijing simply prepared a bit and handed over a piece of colored A4-sized drawing paper, on which was a series of long, sequential numbers
Of course! Go ahead!
Then let us begin now! The first question is, I would like to test your memory!
I..." Pei Shao was so anxious that the veins on his neck were bulging out
Time passes second by second, and in no time, a minute has arrived
Lin Meijing found it very strange how the other person's gaze suddenly changed. Just a moment ago, even those two top students were immediately frightened and hesitant after hearing her request. Could this guy really be able to meet her demands?
"I will go first, I will go first!" exclaimed the enthusiastic graduate from Australia: "45876, 59874, 65347..."
Wow! Two outstanding students from prestigious backgrounds immediately rushed forward and began to memorize. From their appearance, it seemed they would be willing to gouge out their own eyes and stick them on the paper just to feel satisfied
However, the person in front of me, named Pei Shao, not only recited all the numbers flawlessly but also concluded with a statement that left Lin Meijing utterly shocked: "Miss Lin, actually this set of numbers is not difficult; have you noticed any patterns?"
Lin Meijing looked at Pei Shao with a mix of doubt and scrutiny once again. Suddenly, she heard the other party exclaim three words: "I can!"
