94: My sister’s name is Xia Xue and my brother’s name is Xia Yu, so what is my name?

A cultural literacy test? What does that mean?

Ma Quanlin asked, puzzled, "The workers we've recruited recently are all at least undergraduates, and we have a large number of master's graduates. A cultural literacy test isn't really necessary."

"The factory has been too busy lately, so we're holding a test to hand out some bonuses and liven up the atmosphere. You guys notify everyone first, and Zhou Cun will be responsible for creating the questions."

As it involved a spy infiltration, Lu Shenwei didn't want to cause panic in the factory, so he could only come up with an excuse on the fly.

"It would be better to just give everyone half a day off," Wang Zizhong said casually.

"We'll take a break when we aren't so busy. Let's just provide some small perks for now. It's settled."

After Lu Shenwei finished speaking, everyone went their separate ways to prepare.

Once outside, Wang Zizhong muttered, "I'm afraid the Chairman is just trying to distract everyone so he can suddenly initiate a large-scale recall of the agricultural vehicles, isn't he?"

"You old guy, you think too much. He's the Chairman; if he insists on a recall, can you stop him?" Ma Quanlin said with annoyance.

Zhou Cun advised, "Vice Factory Manager, don't think too much. The Chairman is doing this for the long-term development of the steel factory."

Julong Steel held a surprise test, and the newly hired workers were completely bewildered.

"I finally graduated, so why is there an exam for joining the factory?"

"Who knows? But the factory manager said there's a cash reward if you do well."

"Really? Don't try to compete with me; first place is mine."

The new graduates were eager to give it a try, flying through the test papers once they received them.

But when they reached the final questions, confusion was written all over their faces.

What is this? Can exam questions even be like this?

But adhering to the principle of needing to get first place, everyone buckled down and gave it their all.

Two hours later, the test ended, and the graduates stretched their arms as they left the exam room.

"Are they kidding us? Is this supposed to be a cultural literacy test?"

"I don't know what the factory is up to. Maybe they just wanted to give everyone some perks?"

"It feels more like they just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Everyone who participated gets a prize, at least 500 yuan."

"I heard Director Lu is even younger than us. Maybe this is a psychological test."

Everyone muttered endlessly, while Lu Shenwei was busy supervising the grading of the test papers.

"You can glance over the other questions, but you must check the last five questions very carefully. If anyone gets even one of them wrong, you must mark it for me," Lu Shenwei reminded them.

The workshop directors were the ones grading the papers. In the end, out of 219 test papers, only one person got the last five questions wrong.

Lu Shenwei immediately ordered that this graduate's work be suspended, and then handed the matter over to the Qinchuan Secret Service Bureau for a thorough investigation.

Upon hearing there was a situation, the personnel from the Secret Service Bureau immediately arrived to "serve" with a lie detector in tow.

After a three-hour investigation, it was confirmed to be a false alarm.

The new hires had no issues, so the spy must be mixed in among those taking the written test.

"Don't you think the last few questions were a bit strange?"

"Strange? Doesn't that fit Director Lu's personality perfectly?"

"Forget it, I can't be bothered. I'm going to go check on the speed testing issues for the longmao small car."

Wang Zizhong left after saying this, while Ma Quanlin called out to Zhou Cun to continue preparing the test papers for the written exam tomorrow.

Meanwhile, outside the factory, fresh graduates were burying themselves in preparation to successfully secure an offer from Julong Steel.

"With the Julong Steel 'Red Treasure Book' in hand, this written test is in the bag."

"Five years of factory exams, three years of simulations—come take a look, everyone!"

"The core points for the Julong Steel written test, personally written by the legendary gatekeeper Liu of Julong Steel. Reading this guarantees a 100% pass rate!"

On the street of hotels outside Julong Steel Factory, bookstore owners were enthusiastically peddling their test preparation materials.

In a hotel bathroom, a Japan spy took out an encrypted satellite phone.

"Kameda-kun, I have successfully passed the interview for Julong Steel."

"Okamoto-san, the written test is also very important. It costs money, but don't be afraid to spend it!"

"Hai, Kameda-kun, rest assured. I will definitely infiltrate Julong Steel Factory and obtain the arresting gear design documents."

"Ganbaru! Okamoto-san! I will be waiting for your good news back home!"

The Japan spy silently made his final preparations, while the American agent was also making a final sprint.

Unfortunately, even though they had thoroughly studied all kinds of secret guides for the Julong Steel written test, they were dumbfounded once they were in the exam room.

In the exam room, after receiving the test paper, Okamoto Rikawa wrote furiously, passing through the questions with ease.

He anticipated that, barring any accidents, he would enter Julong Steel with top scores in both the interview and the written test.

However, often when one feels everything is going according to plan, unexpected events occur one after another.

The final five questions of the Julong Steel entry written test left Okamoto Rikawa stunned.

What does this mean? A logic puzzle? An intelligence test? Or questions about common knowledge in Dragon Xia?

Okamoto Rikawa had read every single test preparation book, yet he had never seen these five questions before.

[46. How much does a glass of Palace Jade Liquid Wine cost?]

[A. 180 yuan per glass] [B. 90 yuan per glass] [C. 50 yuan per glass] [D. 10 yuan per glass]

How is one supposed to choose? This is clearly a question about common knowledge in Dragon Xia.

But I've never had Palace Jade Liquid Wine. The name sounds like something used by royalty.

180 yuan a glass is definitely too expensive. 90 yuan a glass? Yes! I'll choose B.

[47. The older sister is named Xia Xue, the younger brother is named Xia Yu, so what is my name?]

[A. Xia Donghai] [B. Xia Hail] [C. Xia Lei] [D. Shang Nanshan]

What kind of question is this? A logic problem?

Both the sister and brother have two-character names, so mine must definitely be two characters too. Yes! I'll choose C.

[48. Big hammer (), small hammer ().]

[A. 80, 40] [B. 70, 50] [C. 60, 20] [D. 10, 5]

? ? ? ? ? Baka! ! ! What the hell is this? There's absolutely no logic! ! !

Okamoto Rikawa was going crazy. He had never seen this question before and could only randomly choose C.

[49. What is the extent of our country's inherent territory?]

[A. 9.6 million square kilometers] [B. 10.45 million square kilometers] [C. 13 million square kilometers] [D. Wherever the sun and moon shine is Han territory]

I know this one, 10.45 million square kilometers. Damn Dragon Xia, they actually occupy such a vast amount of land. I'll choose B.

[50. What is the next line to "Odd changes, even stays the same"?]

[A. Symbol depends on the quadrant] [B. I don't look at anyone] [C. Hook of three, side of four, hypotenuse of five] [D. The PE teacher is sick, this is a self-study session]

This... is a math problem? I can only guess. I'll choose C.

After answering the last five questions, Okamoto Rikawa was sweating profusely.

He had originally planned to enter Julong Steel as the top scorer in both the written test and the interview, but now it seemed certain he would lose points on the written test.

However, even so, I will still be able to successfully join Julong Steel. Kameda-kun, rest assured, I will definitely obtain the manufacturing documents for the arresting gear.

The invigilators entered the room to collect the papers: "For the sake of fairness, please wait in the exam room for half an hour. The exam results will be announced in half an hour."

"So fast? They kept saying it would take a few days to grade them."

"Everything is on answer sheets now; the machine scans them and the results are known instantly."

"Excited heart, trembling hands... damn! I need to pee!"

Okamoto Rikawa remained calm and composed, sitting and waiting for his honor.

But half an hour later, a team of personnel from the Secret Service Bureau entered and took him and three other candidates away on the spot.

"You are suspected of cheating on the exam. Please come with us for an investigation."

? ? ? ? ? Suspected of cheating? There must be a mistake!
