TISHW 12




Chapter 12 Recruitment Season

As soon as Qin Shiyu said these words, the audience in the live broadcast room laughed crazy:

【As expected of my God Yu. His moves are extraordinary! 】

【It turns out that their discussion provoked him. Haha, he holds grudges. 】

【Above, what are you saying? How can it be a grudge? It is fair and just and meets the desire of us audience. 】

【So is it true that No. 100 is Ocean Queen and the object of the affair is God Ye and the others? 】

【It seems to be quite credible so far. After all, No. 100 did not say a word to God Ye and Lawyer Xiang during the whole process. Under normal circumstances, even if she is very powerful, she would want to socialize with equally smart people, right?  】

【Look at God Ye, Lawyer Xiang and Jian Cang. Didn’t they hit it off right away? 】

【Now that you put it that way, I’m getting energetic! 】

【So, God Yu, how do you plan to let them interact? I think it should be divided into groups. In the same group, help each other or compete with each other. 】

"Hmm... let me think." Qin Shiyu sat on the chair behind the desk, supporting his chin with one hand and casually spinning the pen with the other hand, "You are already excellent in terms of mental, physical and practical abilities, but in the workplace, interpersonal relationships handling is very important. At least you must be recognized and supported by everyone before the work can progress.”

"Then as a group...select people who you think are suitable to be interns of "All Rounder"."

Shu Hua was always wary. After hearing this, she immediately raised her hand, "How many intern candidates can be in a group?"

Qin Shiyu looked at her and smiled, "There is only one."

Shu Hua mentally held her breath and said directly, "Then let's choose Bigshot."

"What you chose doesn't count." Qin Shiyu responded.

Shu Hua's eyes widened and she looked at Qin Shiyu angrily.

Qin Shiyu chuckled, "A two-person team is too unchallenging. There has to be at least three people in a group. More than half of the people in a team must recommend that person to become an intern candidate."

【Hahaha, so No. 100 still cannot escape the fate of forming a team to seek help. 】

【This is not too difficult. Just drag one more person in. 】

【To put it simply, why should someone choose you if they don’t know you? Who doesn’t want to be an intern after working hard to this point. 】

【So you can only choose acquaintances? But each group can only choose one. God Ye and the others must be candidates themselves. No. 100 will not be able to form a group with them. 】

Qin Shiyu continued, "The selection can be conducted in two rounds. Those who are not selected in the first round can continue to participate in the selection after regrouping in the second round."

Xiang Chen asked, "There are 17 of us. In the first round, we can form up to 5 groups and select 5 people. In the second round, we can form up to 4 groups and select 4 people. A total of 9 interns?"

Jian Cang raised his hand, "Are we going to be ranked according to points in the end? The top five in points are the official interns?" 

After saying that, he felt something was wrong, "Then there is no suspense, right?" 

There was a high probability that it would be the current top five people in points ranking.

Qin Shiyu said, "Indeed, only intern candidates are selected. The five with the highest points can become official interns. So before that, our points may have to be redistributed."

He smiled slightly and explained, "People who form a group can discuss how many points each person takes out as a 'point pool'. Then each person makes a distribution plan for the 'point pool'. Whether it is dividing it equally or who has more points and who has less, as long as more than half of the people agree with your distribution plan, then you can become an intern candidate for "All Rounder". If not, you will be eliminated in this round, and the remaining people will continue to be selected."

Qin Shiyu scanned everyone one by one, "How much you can get depends on your interpersonal skills. If your interpersonal skills are good, a low score can be turned into a high score. If not..." He glanced at Jiang Yu lightly, " The high score may turn into a low score. So do try your best.”

Jiang Yu:……

There was a feeling that he was watching her joke.

【Haha, based on my understanding of God Yu, he definitely wants to watch the drama. He looked at No. 100 just now. 】

【I am very curious. If No. 100 asks three great gods for help, will they trick her, or will they help her? 】

【So I’m getting more hyped up than ever. So Miss No. 100, what are you going to do? 】

Some people were looking forward to the Asura's scene, while others are seriously thinking about the challenge:

【I feel a little dizzy after listening to it. Is there any class representative who can summarize it more intuitively? Didn't understand. 】

【It’s very simple. For example, if there is a team of three people, one person has 1,000 points, and the other two people have 500 points each. Then everyone can give 300 points each to form a 900-point pool. The first person speaks, saying they don't want to take it and the points in the point pool will be divided equally between the other two people. If they agree, then the first person can become an intern candidate with 700 points. The remaining two people will have 650 points, which can be utilized in the next round. After all, even if you become an intern candidate with 500 points, you won't have the strength to compete for internships. It can be regarded as mutual benefit. 】

【Of course, the above is based on the situation of strangers forming a team. God Ye and the others are all acquaintances. Their "interpersonal relationships" are good. There should be no big problems. Now, it is No. 100’s situation is more worrying. 】

【Now that you said it, it’s true. No. 100 has to reorganize a new group with new people. If the new person isn’t satisfied with her, she will be eliminated. So will she have to bleed a lot? 】

【But if the bleeding is too severe, the points in hand will be too few and she can't make it into the top five...]

【So, if the points given away are too much, you may not be able to become an intern. But if you give too few points, others won’t support your candidacy and you may not even have a chance to become an intern. 】

【Oh my god, my head is about to explode. 】

【Normally, the high-end games of "All Rounder" will always make people confused about the rules. We just have to wait and see the bigshots pit each other in a while. Believe me, they will play well in such high-end games. 】

Shu Hua obviously hadn't figured it out yet, so she turned to Jiang Yu, "I will use all the points to put in the points pool. Then you will take all the points away. We all agree with your plan, so you will be the first in points. " 

At this point, she puffed up her cheeks and glared at Qin Shiyu in a veiled way, "Anyway, I definitely can't be chosen. Bigshot, do your best."

She thought Qin Shiyu wanted to squeeze her away. So she paved a way for Jiang Yu before leaving. 

Jiang Yu laughed and said, "What if the other party demands that 1,500 points be given to him, otherwise he won't agree to my plan?"

Shu Hua immediately glared, "Then I won't agree with him either. If you can't be a candidate, neither can he!" 

Then he finally discovered the insidiousness of this test, "What should we do? We really need to find someone familiar and reliable for it to work?" 

Something came to mind, "Don't you know Lawyer Xiang and Ye Yuanyu? How about borrowing someone from them? Anyway, there must be people in their team who are like me and will be eliminated no matter what..."

As she spoke, she turned to "pick and choose" among Ye Yuanyu and his team.

Jiang Yu hurriedly hooked her chin and turned the person's face back. The heroine really dared to think. She was the person who "tricked" the protagonist group. Their fans would most likely be the first to eliminate her.

Worried that she might have another bad idea, she quickly whispered something in Shu Hua's ear. Shu Hua immediately raised her hand and asked, "When people who are completely unfamiliar with each other form a team, there must be an order of speech. Who should be heard out first?" 

After a pause, she then continued, "The initial points must have some effect, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair to those with more points?"

Qin Shiyu looked at Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu seemed to have accidentally thought of this question and got an obedient and serious look on her face.

Several people who did not have enough team members realized that there was still a problem. Even if they were with familiar people in the first round, they would always meet strangers in the second round, so they quickly went along with it.

Jiang Mingquan smiled and said, "Indeed, there must be some advantage in accumulating points. So let's speak in order of points rank."

Following this line of thought, it dawned on everyone that the person who spoke first was actually at a disadvantage. After all, the people behind could refer to her distribution plan. Unless she proposed a plan that everyone was satisfied with from the beginning. But to retain enough points, it seemed impossible. Then she can only be eliminated. Since the point pool was built in advance, her points were still available even if she was eliminated and distributed to others.

For a while, many people looked at Jiang Yu with thoughtful expressions. She had the highest score among them...

But Shu Hua didn't know the danger yet and was trying hard to find candidates, "I have more than 800 points. If I donated them all. I don't believe there is anyone who won't be tempted. 400 points is quite a lot..."

Jiang Yu felt a little warm in her heart. Shu Hua didn't know that she too was probably Qin Shiyu's target.

She was very sure that this interview question was most likely thought up by Qin Shiyu on the spur of the moment. The questions of the "All Rounder" program planning team tended to highlight each person's strengths and specialties. However, this level was a test of human nature.

It didn’t deviate from the concept of the ultimate interview in "Recruitment Season" and can eliminate her and Shu Hua at the same time without anyone catching a whiff of it. After all, the interviewer wasn’t involved at all...

As expected of Qin Shiyu who was so wise that he was almost a demon.

Jiang Yu looked at the young man sitting at the top. The sunlight just fell on his handsome face, clearly depicting the "bad intentions" between his eyebrows. It was not that he was frivolous, but he probably just found it interesting to watch her struggle. .

Although the audience had the same mentality, Jiang Yu still felt unhappy. She met his gaze without evading it and rolled her eyes.

As expected, she still didn’t like being provoked. Today’s intern, she was set on it! Oh, not only did she have to get it, the heroine has to get it with her.

Qin Shiyu was paused for a moment. Then he propped up his chin and started watching with enthusiasm.

Jiang Yu muttered in Shu Hua's ear while the camera in the live broadcast room turned to someone else.

The audience immediately shouted:

【What are you doing? As a distinguished VIP, I want to watch the bigshot’s plotting! 】

【Is it my imagination? Many people are watching No. 100. It feels like wolves are eyeing the meat. 】

【She is indeed a big fatty meat now. She has the highest points out of everyone. A stand out high kind. She may have to bleed a lot if she wants to be a candidate. Her points alone are probably worth several others. 】

【As expected of God Yu, the challenge can actually turn a high score into a disadvantage. The bigshots have to find ways to keep their scores, while other people have to find ways to steal points from the bigshots. It's really exciting. 】

During the exchange of whispers among everyone, Jiang Mingquan confirmed that everyone had fully understood the rules and announced, "If there is no problem, please come over and redeem the points in your hands."

Because points will be distributed later, the program team exchanged everyone's points into physical cards with denominations of 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, and 1. After the redemption, the candidates held their respective "point bags" and looked at each other.

Jiang Mingquan said, "Next, we will give everyone 15 minutes for free discussion. During the 15 minutes, please complete the construction of your own team and 'point pool'. After 15 minutes, we will conduct the first round of intern candidate selection."

【The most anticipated part is coming! No. 100, who are you looking for to cooperate? 】

However, just as everyone was looking forward to it, they saw Shu Hua getting up and walking away from Jiang Yu, signaling that she and Jiang Yu were preparing to form separate teams.

【? ? ? ? 】

  【What's the meaning? You two are already weak in power, why do you want to separate? 】

【This is a test of interpersonal relationships. Even if it isn’t a test of interpersonal relationships, it doesn’t matter. What’s going on with you two? 】

Not only were the audience confused, but there was a buzz of discussion in the conference room. Their separation seemed to disrupt many people's thoughts.

After all, according to the rule of using points as chips, it was too difficult to reach a consensus with strangers. Even if it is a two-person team, the advantage of two people is greater than that of one person.

So no one rushed forward immediately. Instead, they analyzed their intention of this action.

"Maybe No. 99 wants to be an internship candidate, so they form a separate team? If they separate, both can have two chances."

"But it will be more difficult this way. Is it possible that they broke up? They don't seem to know each other. They formed a temporary team before the show started."

"The number 99 points seems to be quite high."

Shu Hua's points were indeed not low. And she has her own specialties. She played Five-in-a-row very well and solved the Rubik's Cube very well. Coupled with her emperor luck, her overall ranking was quite high now.

For those who have made it to this level, Ye Yuanyu's team has 4 people, Xiang Chen and Jian Cang each have 3 people. There were also two pairs and two individuals. Plus Jiang Yu and Shu Hua, there were 17 people in total.

Now almost everyone was looking at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu seemed a little uneasy. Sitting silently in the corner, her fingers dug on the table. Completely like a little sheep at a loss that attracts the big bad wolf hidden in the crowd who was about to move.

【No. 100 looks a little pitiful. What strategy did she and No. 99 make? Or is it actually a breakup? 】

Jian Cang, who was still gearing up to win against Jiang Yu, scratched his head when he saw this, "She doesn't seem to be very sociable?"

Xiang Chen nearby couldn't help but glance at him. Jian Cang immediately thought of the messages and phone calls the other party had sent him:...

But after taking another look, he said to his two teammates, "How about you go help her in the next round?"

Because Jian Cang, Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen were big names in their respective fields, they have a lot of freedom in the selection of team members. Basically, they were all familiar people. For example, these two friends who followed Jian Cang. They were with Jian Cang all the way. At this point in the game, they knew that they would stop there. So after choosing Jian Cang, it didn't matter if they went to help Jiang Yu.

Jian Cang looked at Xiang Chen, "It can't be that she’s brewing some kind of 'conspiracies', right?"

Xiang Chen looked at the other party's cute and pitiful appearance and was a little unsure, "Let's wait until the second round."

Jian Cang nodded, "That’s right." 

Anyway, even if she is eliminated in the first round, there is still a second round. It wasn’t too late to be sure at that time.

"Huh? God Ye? Your team needs to change." Jian Cang was confused.

Before Ye Yuanyu could speak, the No. 67 boy who was about to leave smiled and said, "God Ye said that a team of three people is enough. Can separate one out to earn some points and prepare for the next round." 

He added, "I'll go find No. 100. If she wants to be a candidate, she has to bleed out some no matter what. I will try my best to bring her points down and let God Ye be the number one when the time comes."

A girl wearing glasses in Ye Yuanyu's team said coldly, "When being despicable yourself, don't use Senior Brother Ye's name! Senior Brother does not need to use this method if he wants to be number one."

No. 67 boy looked good-tempered, "I said it wrong. But I've been in the team for so long. I feel uncomfortable if I don't do my best for God Ye. Wait for my good news!" 

After finishing speaking, he didn’t wait for others to speak again and eagerly walked toward Jiang Yu.

The girl wearing glasses stomped her feet angrily, "That's too much. Senior Brother Ye clearly let Senior Brother Zhang to leave. Senior Brother Zhang has such high points and has the opportunity to be an intern."

"No. 67, a physical education student, what is joining in the fun for? He just showed some strength in the physical test. He copied his senior brother's operation in the previous test and got a high score. Really despicable."

Ye Yuanyu was a graduate student at University B. University B was rich in top students. So the team was basically composed of his junior brothers and sisters. To be able to rush so fast along the way, their contribution was indispensable. Ye Yuanyu took them into consideration and proposed to divide the teams since there were enough people so one can go out to chance on being an intern candidate. Unexpectedly,  as soon as he finished speaking, the No. 67 boy who shamelessly joined in the beginning slipped off to go ahead.

Ye Yuanyu didn't have any unnecessary expressions. He watched No. 67 walking toward Jiang Yu and made the same decision as Xiang Chen and the others, "Let's pass the first round first."

At this side, No. 67 walked straight toward Jiang Yu. The tall man, who was about 1.8 meters tall, smiled brightly and said, "Jiang Yu, God Ye asked me to help you."

  【Holy crap! What this kid is doing is a bit disgusting. 】

【It’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance. He looks upright and is a sunny and cheerful man. Unexpectedly, his air smells like green tea. 】

【If you want to compete, just compete openly. Why use despicable means! 】

【Don’t choose him, No. 100! 】

However, Jiang Yu looked up at the tall boy and said obediently and gratefully, "Thank you."

She seemed so trusting.
