Turning off Herta's message box, Chu Ze asked Silver Wolf as well.
She also replied quickly:
[Silver Wolf]: For interview tips, you don't need to get all fancy.
[Silver Wolf]: As long as the answer is brilliant enough and special enough, that's all that matters.
[Chu Ze]: Got it, thank you, Silver Wolf.
[Silver Wolf]: You're welcome, Taro.
Having received an answer that sounded very reliable, Chu Ze rubbed his chin and gradually came up with a plan.
...
...
And so, time passed.
In the blink of an eye, five days went by.
During this time, Chu Ze had been receiving guidance from both Qingque and Fu Xuan, and his proficiency with the Taiyan Division's operations was growing daily.
From divination and formation operation to Jade Abacus programming, he had achieved a certain level of mastery.
Only route mapping was still a bit of a problem.
Because he himself was slightly directionally challenged, when he was a Garrison Officer, the task of distinguishing directions was always handled by his adjutant.
But overall, it wasn't a big problem. Passing a mere assessment was a piece of cake.
With this in mind, he followed Fu Xuan's instructions and came to this small examination room specially prepared for him.
"Good day, Master Chu Ze, we are your interviewers for this session."
Upon seeing Chu Ze, the three interviewers stood up in unison, like employees seeing their leader on inspection.
Chu Ze waved his hand casually:
"Hello, please sit."
Only after receiving the instruction did these interviewers sit down on the edge of their chairs.
Seeing how nervous they were, Chu Ze couldn't help but smile:
"Don't be nervous, we're just having a casual chat. Just relax."
The interviewers nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, Master Chu Ze. May we begin?"
Chu Ze grunted in affirmation:
"Let's begin. First, introduce yourselves, starting from the left."
The interviewer on the left quickly stood up, picked up his documents, and prepared to introduce himself.
But then he suddenly realized that they were the interviewers for this exam.
Chu Ze, the leader, was the candidate who was supposed to be answering...
"Oh, my apologies, I got our roles mixed up."
Chu Ze finally came to his senses as well: "I almost forgot I was the candidate."
Seeing his slightly awkward look, the chief interviewer's mind raced, and he immediately spoke up:
"Thank you, Master Chu Ze, for setting an example and personally demonstrating the proper demeanor of an interviewer."
"From now on, we will definitely learn from you, live up to your cultivation, and strive to become qualified interviewers!"
The other two interviewers' faces changed.
You kid... are you that eager to improve?
Chu Ze also showed a look of appreciation, holding the chief interviewer in higher regard.
As expected, no matter where you are, people with high emotional intelligence are more likely to be noticed.
...
...
"Then, the interview session will now begin. Please listen to the question."
The chief interviewer took out a document and began to read the question:
"Suppose there is a fire in an art museum. Would you save the world-famous painting first, or the trapped kitten first?"
This question had a high degree of maneuverability.
No matter who Chu Ze chose to save first, the chief interviewer could help him smooth it over.
After all, anyone with eyes could see that this so-called exam was just a formality arranged by Lady Fu Xuan, with the focus being on the practical assessment that followed.
The interview Q&A at the beginning was purely for the sake of ceremony.
But then they saw Chu Ze say confidently:
"My choice is—"
"First, admire the burning famous painting, then listen to the kitten's wails, then blame the onlookers, and finally, console myself for starting the fire!"
Everyone: "????"
My goodness, you can answer like that?
Even though we know this is just a formality and we wouldn't dare to offend you, the General Affairs Secretary, you could at least pretend a little!
In the end, it was the chief interviewer who reacted quickly and led the applause:
"Excellent! Master Chu Ze's answer demonstrates a stunning multi-dimensional thinking ability!"
"Not only did he break out of the traditional binary moral framework, using postmodern deconstructionist techniques to transform a disaster scene into an artistic performance, but he also profoundly criticized the bystander effect in modern society, creatively integrating existentialist philosophy into crisis response!"
"This talent for elevating emergency decision-making to a philosophical level is precisely the kind of subversive and innovative talent the Taiyan Division is looking for! On behalf of the interview panel, I would like to express our sincere respect for your outstanding talent!"
The other two interviewers also quickly joined in the applause.
The small room was suddenly filled with thunderous applause.
Chu Ze was so praised that he was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he gave Silver Wolf a thumbs-up in his heart.
As expected, his good comrade was right. The answer really did need to be brilliant and unique.
"Next is the second question."
The interviewer picked up the document again: "Suppose you have only prepared five cups of water, but a hundred leaders have arrived. What would you do?"
Chu Ze smiled faintly: "I would slap each one of them, and when I get tired, I'll drink some water."
The interviewer's mouth twitched:
"Next question. Your neighbor, on the grounds of being pregnant, forcibly orders you to shut down your legal interstellar wifi at home to avoid radiation affecting her child."
"And her attitude is very unreasonable, she even threatens to make a scene at your workplace. What would you do?"
Chu Ze showed off his muscles:
"I would immediately change my wifi name to: Sixth Generation Radiation Wall-Penetrating Abortion King."
"If she comes looking for trouble, I'll beat her up too."
The interviewer took a deep breath:
"Suppose your leader asks you to find a needle in the ocean. What would you do?"
Chu Ze grinned:
"I would kick this stupid leader into the ocean and use the cool seawater to wash his brain."
"..."
As the interview progressed, Chu Ze's answers seemed to have found a knack, becoming more and more proficient.
By the time the interview was over and all the questions had been answered, the chief interviewer stood up and tightly gripped Chu Ze's hand with tears in his eyes:
"Your answers have completely reconstructed the modern management paradigm! The seemingly absurd answers conceal your original view that 'an effective decision-maker never solves the wrong problem,' perfectly summarizing the essence of a new era cadre of the Luofu Xianzhou!"
"I also finally understand that the reason you are our leader is because you have many theories and spirits that are worthy of our study. After work, I will make a personal summary of this interview, strive to fully comprehend your teachings, and lay a solid foundation for my future work!"
Chu Ze was praised so much that his face was full of smiles:
"Aiya, you flatter me, you flatter me."
"They say that honest advice is hard to hear, but in my opinion, this honest advice is very pleasant to the ear!"
"Young man, you did well. I'll remember you. In the future, when we have joint missions with the Sky-Faring Commission, I will give you priority consideration."
The chief interviewer was excited:
"Thank you for your cultivation, Master Chu Ze! I will never forget your kindness in recognizing my talent, no matter where I go!"
"Mhm, very good!"
Chu Ze nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time, he secretly noted down this guy's speaking style in his heart.
As the saying goes, flattery will get you everywhere.
These high-EQ ways of speaking would most likely be useful in his future development.
So it seems he also needs to find a way to learn these skills...
