Zizai Liang Lane, on the other hand, was much more pitiful. There was a queue in front of its door, but only a dozen or so people.

The difference between the two was obvious at a glance.

Naturally, Su Mo set Qiankun Grain Store as his first destination.

He walked through several streets and then two alleys.

Upon arriving at Qiankun Grain Store, he found that because he was applying for a different position, he did not have to wait in the long line, which saved a lot of time.

But what caught him off guard was that when he followed the staff member at the door into the interview waiting area inside the store...

Su Mo realized there were already more than a dozen electricians lined up ahead of him.

“Buddy, are you here to apply for a developer job too?”

As soon as Su Mo sat down, a thin man with a pointed mouth and a monkey-like face came over.

“My name is Sun Quan, hehe, the Sun Quan from the Three Kingdoms period. What’s your name?”

“Su Youzong.”

Faced with this man’s enthusiasm, Su Mo could not refuse, so he simply gave his name and fell silent.

But to everyone’s surprise, Sun Quan was overly familiar with everybody.

He kept changing the subject, trying to pry some information out of them to learn how strong his competitors were.

Tired of being asked so many questions, Su Mo had no choice but to hand over his resume directly.

“Holy crap, you’re the electrician from the Liberty Market?”

An exclamation immediately drew the attention of the others on the bench.

But before everyone could get excited, the door of the interview room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in.

“Ahem, I am today’s interviewer, and also the sole partner of Qiankun Grain Store and the head of the development team of Zero Manufacturing.”

“You can just call me Senior Engineer.”

Although the senior engineer spoke politely, anyone could see the undisguised disgust in his eyes.

Treated like this, a troublemaker immediately stepped forward and began making sarcastic remarks.

“Engineer Gao, you really put on airs! You made us wait here for two hours. What’s the matter, are you still...”

“Get out!”

“Huh?”

“I said, get out of here! You’ve been passed over!”

When the troublemaker first spoke up, the others were still gloating, wanting to see how the senior engineer would handle it.

Unexpectedly, before the man could finish, the seemingly refined senior engineer suddenly roared like a furious old lion with no teeth left.

At the same time, as soon as he had finished speaking, four security guards came through the door, their faces full of ill intent.

“Damn it, if you don’t want to hire anyone, just say so. You’re wasting my time.”

Grumbling and cursing, and seeing the stun gun in the security guard’s hand, the troublemaker ultimately did not dare to jump around any more, and had to leave through the front door.

The remaining people, startled by this, lost any desire to cause trouble.

“I don’t want to repeat the rules a second time, and I don’t want to repeat the questions a second time either.”

“Starting with you, I will ask each question only once and give you thirty seconds to think. If you answer correctly, you stay. If you can’t, you leave.”

Pointing at the short man in the first row, the senior engineer announced the rules at an extremely fast pace.

Seeing no objections from below, he smiled with satisfaction, took out the interview questions he had prepared, and sat down at the table to begin asking.

“My first question: why did the color of my clothes change after I spilled water on them?”

“Thirty-second countdown!”

The question was simple yet tricky, and it startled the short man into freezing in surprise.

Before this, he had guessed that the other party might test his hands-on skills or his knowledge of mechanical repair and manufacturing, so he had made a lot of preparations in that area.

But now, this question left him somewhat at a loss.

It was not until almost the end of the thirty seconds that the short man bit his lip and said with difficulty, “Because your clothes are wet?”

“Get out!”

As soon as the senior engineer finished speaking in a slightly reproachful tone, the security guards stepped forward again, scaring the short man into standing up and slinking out of the interview room.

For a moment, the interview room fell silent again.

“You, continue answering!”

“I... I don’t know, I’m not good at this, I’m good with machines.”

“Get out!”

Seemingly convinced of his own point, the second interviewee was driven out of the interview room by the senior engineer before he could finish explaining.

A scene like this was truly unheard of in a normal job interview.

Many of the people in the interview room visibly turned rather pale.

“Luckily I’m the last one. They’re all being eliminated, so I should be able to get picked.”

Sitting in the last row, he watched the interviewees, filtered out by this single question, walk out one after another.

Su Mo shook his head, with only two words left in his mind:

What a weirdo!

But there was nothing to be done. It was their home turf, after all. Even if they asked how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, all he could do was answer.

Before long, when the thirteenth person had stepped forward, it was finally the turn of Sun Quan, who had been so outgoing before.

Unlike the others, he stood up and said confidently, “Engineer Gao, I know this one. It’s because the relative refractive index affects reflection. When an object is in water, its relative refractive index is lower than when it is in the air, so the diffuse reflection is lower than in air, which makes the color look darker.”

“Hm?”

The senior engineer glanced at Sun Quan in surprise, seemingly taken aback.

But in the end he nodded and cleared his throat: “Yes, that makes sense.”

“But this is only the first question. There are nine more, so listen carefully.”

“How many forces act on a person walking on the road?”

Compared with the first question, this one was noticeably simpler.
