Chapter 506 - 154: Talent Scouting_3
Su Xiaocai doesn’t require educational qualifications, just age, with self-taught basic knowledge related to mecha, a unique way of thinking, and carefulness in doing things.
It’s best to have completed independent works before, not required to compete, just needed to have had the idea before and put it into action by drawing it out.
These conditions above seem easy but actually have no standard.
Things without standardization are the hardest.
Obviously, candidates need to have unique insights into mecha and a solid knowledge foundation.
Because the salary is quite attractive, once this recruitment information was released to the New World, tens of thousands of resumes flooded in.
Su Xiaocai already has a response plan, each applicant must fill a form and complete a question randomly within half an hour.
It requires entering a formal exam recording mode to complete independently.
If there are accidents midway, they can retake the test, but only three chances.
The day after tomorrow, she has to leave, and despite being busy, Su Xiaocai keeps an eye on this interview.
Luo Lianliang, who is working as a temp at a repair shop on Capital Star, didn’t see this notice, but Su Xiaocai personally sent him an invitation, thinking he is resilient and has a good character, though his education is a bit low, his mecha knowledge is still solid.
Seeing his persistence in working various rotations at car and mecha factories as a maintenance worker says it all.
When the communicator buzzed, Luo Lianliang wiped his sweat; seeing it’s a personal message from Invincible Love of Vegetable Planting, he almost broke the control stick of the mechanical arm.
What does Su Xiaocai want at this time?
They’ve only communicated privately four or five times, and aren’t familiar with each other.
Could the case have changed?
He couldn’t imagine that Su Xiaocai was inviting him for an interview.
Professor Ai Shengping will personally conduct his interview, and as someone madly interested in mecha and mechanics, how could Luo Lianliang not know Ai Shengping?
He took off his gloves, hands trembling, and opened the details of the message.
Then, he saw that Su Xiaocai had sent him a job offer from Yidian Cai Mechanical Precision Mecha Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Unlike the Mechanical Co., this company specializes in mecha manufacturing.
To go or not to go?
He hesitated. He didn’t even graduate high school; would he be rejected before the interview even began? He hasn’t studied college courses; even if he managed to enter the factory, wouldn’t he lag behind others?
But he couldn’t refuse this invitation.
He could meet with Professor Ai Shengping.
"Xiaoliang, what are you doing, lazy for more than two minutes, deduct twenty from your wage."
Luo Lianliang was startled and turned to see the repair manager’s two big nostrils spewing hot air with a gloomy expression.
"Not working yet? Do you not want to work? If the boss wasn’t willing to take you in, could you have this high-paying technical temp job?"
"Education not high, still wooden like every day, only I am the good person; hurry to work, the clients will come to take it later. Early morning, just want to slack off, a bunch of lazy folks."
The manager cursed, but very skillfully, not cursing Luo Lianliang’s family, focusing instead on his education and personality.
Luo Lianliang was proud at school, but coming into society, for the sake of earning money, he learned to endure.
Everyone heard it but dared not retort; the manager was best at grabbing hold of temporary workers, especially Luo Lianliang, whom the boss specially hired as an external aid.
Speaking of external aid, it’s not accurate either. The boss is a bit stingy, hiring this manager to squeeze people for less pay.
Luo Lianliang, skilled and diligent but not a formal employee, becomes the primary target of the manager.
No one not forced by life could endure being inexplicably deducted wages.
In usual times, Luo Lianliang wouldn’t have responded; he’d act as if nothing happened.
He glanced down at the text message.
But Su Xiaocai promised him that even if he couldn’t pass Ai Shengping’s interview, he could be a small clerical staff at the factory, learning and improving along the way.
However, she believed he had the capability to pass the interview.
Hoping he could display his talents at her company.
Luo Lianliang indeed had unusual talents, one of the types Su Xiaocai appreciated.
After all, personally invited by Su Xiaocai, there had to be some privileges.
The grand avenue lay before him; even as a minor clerk, he could learn real cutting-edge technology, relieving some of his family’s debts, lightening his responsibility.
Who’s willing to be a temp worker with better job offers?
Humiliated when needed, eager to kick you out when not, a total double standard.
He’d rather be cursed by a professor than lectured by an empty-headed fool.
Luo Lianliang put down his two gloves, removed his helmet, and then his work suit, "I’m quitting; Extraordinary Island’s boss has decided to hire me, so I won’t come here to suffer."
No matter if he passes the interview or not, he drops the harsh words first.
"You say President Su would hire you? You?" The manager scoffed, considering Luo Lianliang daydreaming, "Fine, better don’t come begging me; if you return, you’ll have to kneel before I even consider it."
"No need; I will never return."
Not a contract worker, not even charity, technical work for wages, and frequently deducted.
What’s deplorable is letting someone who understands no technology, just sycophancy and scolding, to manage them.
Suppressive and frustrating.
"Go ahead and leave, don’t come back, there are plenty more learned people than you, who do you think you are."
Luo Lianliang turned and left; he would go to the interview now, join now, show everyone he had no character issues Su Xiaocai appreciated him, and he could mix in top-tier tech workplaces without qualifications.
He walked fast, the manager still yelling behind.
When people completely disappeared from sight, the manager angrily watched the onlookers behind, "What are you staying here for, start working, you’re all lazy bums."
A technical worker said: "But Mr. Luo is the one who knows how to modify mecha; we do repairs, not understand."
"Modification and repair are the same; he modified halfway, why don’t you know how to continue?"
The technical workers exchanged looks, "Mecha modification has high requirements; altering at will affects mecha performance and needs to fit the user habits, we don’t understand."
If it could be changed at will, mecha maintenance masters wouldn’t need to have ranks.
Luo Lianliang certified through self-study, they don’t have his brains.
This mecha, someone needs it for a ring match.
Capital Star also has stadiums for mecha pilot battles, not accessible to civilians, not in the city.
Also on Capital Star, who dares mess with others’ mecha, they can’t bear the responsibility.
"None of you understand this? Where’s the other technician? The formal modifier?"
"He took a leave today."
"Quick, make him come back."
"He can’t come back; his wife is having a baby."
Talking about this, workers had a bit gloating, even conjuring thoughts of watching this drama.
The government values childbirth, for natural pregnancy mothers, during labor, the husband’s company must give leave for accompanying during delivery.
Mothers to be respected, what’s a manager considered.
Only then did the manager realize the trouble and took it out, "Why did his wife choose to deliver now? We paid him so much; couldn’t his wife choose artificial placenta pregnancy?"
Everyone expressed disagreement: naturally pregnant mothers are great; why blame a mom who opts to personally give birth to a child.
Artificial placenta pregnancies are good, but healthy individuals are encouraged by doctors for natural pregnancy; maternity maximally awakens during it.
This benefits many kids’ growth.
The manager’s insane?
Someone secretly recorded his powerless rage look, sent it to Luo Lianliang.
Luo Lianliang wanted to laugh, yet couldn’t voice due to nervousness, unsure of upcoming questions from Professor Ai.
Upon learning no one could replace Luo Lianliang, the manager turned to the office, called the boss hoping he could find someone to solve the problem.
The boss also watched the recruitment ad Su Xiaocai sent, fantasizing recruiting talents to serve him one day.
Upon hearing the manager saying Luo Lianliang was dug by Su Xiaocai, he couldn’t sit still.
