What does Chapter 10 mean?
The woman looked to be around thirty years old, with a very graceful figure and a face that exuded an aura of peace and prosperity.
She was wearing a dark blue business suit, with her white shirt buttoned up to the third button, revealing a small section of her collarbone—just right, neither too revealing nor too conservative.
Her long, jet-black hair was coiled at the back of her head and secured with a black hairpin.
A few wisps of hair fell beside her ears, making her neck look beautiful.
A small, hexagonal silver brooch was pinned to the collar of the shirt.
She wore gold-rimmed glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses were bright and sharp.
The woman walked to the front of the reception room and looked around at the hundreds of people inside.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Lin Wei from the Personnel Department of the Urban Planning Bureau. I will be in charge of today's interviews."
Her voice was like that of an old-fashioned announcer, with clear enunciation and a businesslike efficiency.
"First of all, thank you all for coming to today's selection."
She paused, then her gaze swept across the room once more.
"I know many of you may have some questions about this position..."
"For example, why would we recruit in this way?"
Why wasn't there a public recruitment process?
Why were your resumes selected?
Many people in the reception room instinctively sat up straight.
Jiang Yu also perked up his ears.
"You'll find out about these issues once you've passed the selection process."
After saying that, she walked to the table, picked up the stack of filled-out forms, and began calling roll.
"Sun Xiuxiu, Li Siyao, Wang Hao, Chen Yutong..."
She would look up at the person each time she read a name.
When Jiang Yu was mentioned…
Her gaze lingered for a few more seconds.
Then continue reading.
After confirming who is who…
Lin Wei pushed up her glasses and continued speaking.
"Let me explain the selection process that follows."
"The process consists of two parts: a written test and a physical test."
"The written test will start promptly at 15:00 and will last for 90 minutes. Early submission is not permitted."
"Those who pass the written test can proceed to the physical examination."
"I will explain the physical examination rules separately."
"Those who pass both the written and physical exams will be formally hired after the pre-employment medical examination."
"Did everyone understand?"
Everyone in the room nodded and said in unison, "We understand."
Jiang Yu nodded in agreement, but his mind was in turmoil.
Physical exam?
Oh my god... there's a physical exam too?
I can understand the written test, but what the heck is the physical test?
Do I have to run another 800 meters?
……
Led by Lin Wei, the interviewees walked through the corridor and arrived at a place that resembled an examination room.
This place is about half the size of a football field.
Before you are rows of independent "small rooms" arranged neatly, like a honeycomb.
The rooms are separated by soundproof panels, and the ceiling is open, allowing you to see the pipes and light strips on the ceiling.
Each room has a number on its door: 01, 02, 03... and the list goes on and on.
At the very front of the examination room, against the wall, was a row of lockers with transparent glass doors.
The cabinet isn't big, just enough to hold my backpack and personal belongings.
Lin Wei stood next to the lockers and gestured for everyone to come over.
"Now please turn off your phones and put them in the lockers in front of you."
"No communication devices are allowed in the examination room during the written test."
"But please be considerate."
Everyone took turns putting their phones into the lockers.
Then, Lin Wei began calling out names and distributing number tags.
"Li Ming, No. 01..."
"Hu Yue, No. 02..."
……
"Jiang Yu, number 92."
Jiang Yu took his number plate.
It's basically just a plastic card with adhesive on the back so you can stick it on your clothes.
After everyone had received their numbers, Lin Wei continued her explanation.
"Each person has their own room. Please enter according to your assigned number."
"There are cameras in the room. Please keep quiet during the exam, do not leave the room without permission, and do not attempt to cheat in any way."
"Those who violate the rules will be disqualified from the interview and will be blacklisted for recruitment by public institutions nationwide, and will be barred from taking the civil service exam for 5 years."
"Did everyone understand?"
"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.
Lin Wei nodded and stepped aside to make way for the examination room.
"Let's begin then, and I wish you all the best in your exams!"
The group entered the examination room one by one.
The corridor was wide enough for three people to walk side by side.
Jiang Yu followed the numbers and continued forward.
After passing through 01, 02, 03... we arrived at the door of room 92.
The door was made of metal with a smooth surface that reflected blurry human figures.
There is a small handle on the door, but no keyhole; it can be opened with a gentle pull.
Jiang Yu opened the door and went inside.
As soon as you close the door, you hear a "click" and the door locks automatically.
The room was small, but well-designed.
A white table, a black office chair, and a silver table lamp.
The lamp arm is adjustable, and the lampshade is metal with a hexagonal logo printed on it.
The logo was the same as the one on the brooch Lin Wei was wearing.
On the table were a mechanical pencil, an eraser, and an unlabeled bottle of mineral water.
The red indicator light on the overhead spherical camera is flashing, indicating that it is working.
Jiang Yu sat down in the chair.
The chair is very comfortable, with a seat cushion that is just the right firmness and a backrest that perfectly fits the lower back.
He adjusted his posture and waited silently.
I waited for about two minutes...
A "click" came from the door.
A small window in the middle of the door popped open automatically.
A stack of exam papers slid out of the small window.
The movements were swift, as if they were distributed uniformly by some kind of machine.
"Test results complete. Exam duration: 90 minutes. Start timing now!" A mechanical electronic voice came from the overhead speaker.
Jiang Yu picked up the exam paper and turned to the first page.
At the very top of the exam paper were several lines of bold black text:
"Recruitment Examination for Binhai City Urban Planning Bureau"
"Professional Ability Test (Written Examination)"
Exam duration: 90 minutes
Full marks: 100 points
"Instructions: Please write all answers on the test paper."

……
Jiang Yu flipped through the test paper from beginning to end.
There are 100 questions in total.
The types of questions are all similar, either song lyrics, poems, general knowledge...
Or they are famous scenes from movies and literary works.
There are also many detailed questions about famous quotes and historical events.
None of them are related to urban planning.
Moreover, these questions are ridiculously easy; anyone with hands can do them.
"The written test for this city planning bureau is way too easy!"
"this one?"
"Any junior high school student could easily get a perfect score."
"Asking such childish questions..."
"What does it mean?"
"A test to see if everyone is just lucky?"
Jiang Yu started doing the questions while mentally complaining.
The lyrics for the first question are, of course, "Fifty-six ethnic groups, fifty-six flowers," who doesn't know that?
Choose A with your eyes closed!
The second question, "The Immortal Sheep is thrown into a frying pan"—this definitely exists!
In the episode of "Journey to the West" where Sun Wukong uses a trick to get rid of the cold dragon in the oil pot, the answer is C!
For the third question, isn't the phrase "Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to this person" something you can just say off the cuff?
He could recite the junior high school Chinese textbook passage "Born in hardship, die in comfort" perfectly back then.
Therefore, the answer is A!
