The next day is the written exam. There are two exams. One is a basic subject, such as political economy and materialism. For students who have just graduated from high school, this is really not a big problem.
The other subject is a little more troublesome. The questions there are all from those reference materials, and most of them are fill-in-the-blank or explanation questions, which really surprises many candidates.
Only the last big question, which is an essay question, has nothing to do with those materials.
Some people are happy and some are sad. After leaving the examination room, some people gnashed their teeth and cursed. Some people are in a happy mood. There is no doubt that Chen Taizhong is the kind of person who is in a happy mood.
"Huh, luckily I spent some fairy power to save all the books in my mind. It's worth paying the price."
Yang Qianqian was also in a good mood. She even finished answering the papers in advance and stood at the entrance of the examination center waiting for Chen Taizhong to come out.
Chen Taizhong saw her as a classmate at a glance, and walked forward with a smile, "Haha, you are returning my things, right?"
Why is this person talking like this? Yang Qianqian was a little confused immediately. Yes, she returned his things, but...you have to be polite first, for example, ask me if I did well in the exam, right?
Before yesterday, she would not have asked Chen Taizhong like this. At that time, we were just classmates with very ordinary relationships. But now, since we have common secrets and common topics, shouldn't we be more enthusiastic?
?
It's a pity that this smug guy didn't expect that this small move completely exposed his low emotional intelligence!
Perhaps, he really just regarded me as an ordinary classmate. Yang Qianqian felt a little disappointed in her heart, and she didn't know where this emotion came from.
"Haha, yes, I came to give you something back," she quickly returned to normal, and showed this weirdo the emotional intelligence level of ordinary people, "How did you do in the exam?"
The results were released on the third day, and both of them ranked among the best. Among the ten civil servant indicators, they ranked second and ninth respectively. They were eligible to participate in the interview prepared for the top twenty!
"Holy shit, this isn't fair," someone shouted loudly at the place where the rankings were announced. Since they have already failed the rankings, there will naturally be many people who break the rules. "Behind-the-scenes deals must be behind-the-scenes deals."
There were many people on the side, beating their chests and echoing, "That's right, report them, report them!"
It was obviously very fair, but Chen Taizhong was a little angry. In order to prevent the legendary "unofficial decision", he went to great lengths to input the consciousness of "fair marking" into the minds of the people in the examination group one by one. Weren't these people in the exam group?
Do you deny his work?
He was ranked second, but where was the behind-the-scenes deal? It was obvious that he had passed the exam with real swordsmanship.
Because it was a forced input of thoughts, more than half of the immortal power I had worked so hard to accumulate was used up! He was so depressed that he wanted to yell, but fortunately, he still remembered what happened at the registration office three days ago, and he became the target of public criticism.
It's not a pleasant feeling.
Anyway, these people were not talking about me. After thinking about this, he calmed down. It is their business how the people in the examination group are willing to react. Why should I dance?
It's not easy, buddy, he has learned to watch the fire from the other side, and he is even a little proud in his heart!
Yang Qianqian frowned and squeezed to his side, "Oh, I'm only ninth, so it's very dangerous. Taizhong, do you have any good ideas?"
"I'm not a god," Chen Taizhong shook his head regretfully. He was a god, or the kind who walked sideways among the gods. But that was in the past. Were girls very promising as officials?
"Which position did you apply for?" Yang Qianqian was a little envious of him. Look at this person, he didn't cheat and just relied on one night's review to get second place. "This time, you are expected to have a chance, and you will get 100% in the written test."
The Personnel Bureau is a very good position in this recruitment, second only to the Municipal Government Secretariat. However, Chen Taizhong's purpose in choosing the Personnel Bureau is obvious. He heard that it is responsible for the assessment and appointment of cadres (obviously, this is what he heard),
There will definitely be a lot of time to meet a lot of people.
Communicating with others is becoming his strength, and Chen Taizhong has no doubt about this.
Unfortunately, the position in the Personnel Bureau was really good, and that position was targeted early on. Even if he got second in the written examination, it could not shake the determination of some people at all.
So, during the interview, Chen Taizhong was assigned a very strange question.
The questions in the interview are random. The examiner mainly asks the question, and the candidate is required to put forward his or her own opinions on the topic and develop a discussion. The candidate also needs to prepare the examiner to answer deeper questions about the topic and to reflect on a person's situation.
The ability to perform is very demanding.
This method later became the content of the written examination in the civil service examination. A relatively specific term was formed for this examination format - application theory!
In short, the format is similar to that of the previous imperial examinations. However, there is an additional important link, which is the practical requirement. In response to this issue, candidates not only have to come up with their own opinions, but most importantly, they also need to put forward specific solutions.
The solutions or implementation methods are much more detailed than the policy agenda.
For the position that Chen Taizhong is applying for, what he needs to pay attention to should be some relatively basic organizational plans, inspection methods, or some very popular topics.
Unfortunately, someone noticed that the candidate's theoretical foundation was very solid, so he got a question that shocked him - What do you think about the social phenomenon of some people being obsessed with feudal superstition and gods and ghosts?
Damn it! Chen Taizhong was really a little dizzy. He also made a lot of preparations for this oral examination. He also carefully studied some very controversial social phenomena, and fully verified the most authoritative ones among them.
statement.
Well, I applied to the Personnel Bureau, not the Religious Affairs Bureau.
He was stunned for a long time, then swallowed with difficulty, "Well, I personally believe that gods do not exist. They were just the ancient ruling class for..."
It's really hard for him, but obviously, this topic is of great benefit to the development of his emotional intelligence. Even the person involved thinks so. Luo Shangtianxian rarely lied back then.
And now, hehe! Although it’s just a small step, it feels like a milestone!
"This candidate's theoretical level, tsk tsk," someone shook his head disdainfully, not shying away from his presence at the scene. "Can you cite more than three examples where gods do not exist?"
It seems easier for me to give examples of the existence of gods. Chen Taizhong secretly murmured, "Well, the first one, for example, Liu An, the king of Huainan, achieved enlightenment by himself, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven..."
This guy named Liu An absolutely does not exist. There is no such person in the fairy world.
