Chapter 508 - 155: Farewell, Changing Maps 2
The two of them kept talking until they started fighting in front of the client.
The client understood that this small company was entirely supported by one or two technicians, and that everything inside wasn’t good. The client decided never to return, took the compensation, and left to avoid having their mecha dismantled again.
The most deserved fate was that of the boss, losing both wife and soldiers, with nothing gained.
These things Jiang Luo didn’t know.
His interview went smoothly; the professors didn’t ask about his educational background and focused on practical questions about handling mecha emergencies.
They also asked technical questions, particularly about his ideas for mecha modifications.
Jiang Luo expressed his views, feeling a bit tongue-tied at first in front of Ai Shengping.
Ai Shengping’s approving expression encouraged him, and he spoke more fluently as he went on.
After speaking, he eagerly awaited Ai Shengping’s response as Ai Shengping rubbed his chin stubble, saying, "No problem, congratulations on joining."
"Is it really that simple?" Jiang Luo clenched his fingers and asked, "I want to know, after joining, can I study beside Professor Ai?"
Ai Shengping was speechless for a moment, "Don’t be ungrateful, I wish I could learn beside Teacher Su, you don’t know how lucky you are. If given a chance, I’d also come here to learn."
Jiang Luo: "..." Well, okay, if Professor Ai says so, it seems Su Xiaocai is even more remarkable than Professor Ai.
Ai Shengping inwardly shed tears, thinking that maybe after being around Su Xiaocai for a long time, this kid might be even more successful than him.
He wished he could study here for a few years before returning to his post.
Su Xiaocai was a good teacher, as long as it didn’t interfere with her farming, or if you brought her some plants she hadn’t seen before, she’d gladly teach you new knowledge, very easy to appease.
Ai Shengping planned to adopt this approach in the future, maybe even have Jun Yue reserve a piece of land for Su Xiaocai, find someone to help her care for it, and cultivate it according to her method, encouraging her to give lectures to them or Jun Yue. It would be perfect.
Ai Shengping’s heart danced with joy, like an old child’s innocence. He quickly put away unrealistic fantasies and continued interviewing for Su Xiaocai.
Today, they interviewed over three hundred people and ended up hiring only two.
No mistake, just two.
As for the tens of thousands who applied online, after a flash of testing, only two thousand remained.
The second round of interviews was secretly screened by artificial intelligence.
Anyone spreading negativity online was not considered.
Those with overly complex social circles weren’t considered.
Anyone frequently bragging about situations not matching family reality wasn’t considered.
Anyone having online behaviors involving significant gambling amounts wasn’t considered.
In the end, only a pitiful number of over a hundred remained.
Among these hundred-plus individuals, during the third online interview, the high-standard professors ended up approving only five.
Thus, Su Xiaocai recruited only seven people through nationwide hiring.
Zu Yang didn’t think she was making a fuss, considering these seven individuals would be the factory’s core, which was sufficient for the time being.
Su Xiaocai sighed, thinking that’s nonsense.
The military has orders for as many as ten thousand units, all placed by Admiral Bai and Vice Admiral Bai in succession. Others are still in the observation phase, wanting to see the quality.
Online orders, needless to say, were like falling snowflakes.
Luckily, she only opened a consultation booking channel, refrained from collecting money, and didn’t guarantee delivery times. But for those who signed up, once tangible goods were available online, they could participate in the initial scramble.
About three million participants...
And that was after Su Xiaocai proactively cut off the booking channel; otherwise, the numbers would’ve been even higher.
Looking at the number of people wanting to grab mechas, Su Xiaocai felt very nervous.
Due to her tricky maneuvers, some mecha companies worried their mechas wouldn’t sell, slowly lowered prices, and stopped selling at high prices.
Some companies thought Su Xiaocai was just bluffing and had even inquired with the Xue Family and several companies producing high-end mechas, who all said there were no recent new technologies.
Su Xiaocai focused only on the low-end market and wouldn’t affect them in any way.
This mentality had the effect of pretending not to hear, and indeed didn’t impact high-end mechas.
On the final day before departure, Su Xiaocai went to the factory to inspect the production line installation.
The seven hired employees were on duty, busy following the professors around, extremely dedicated.
The moment Su Xiaocai arrived, the professors started following her, calling her Teacher Su, making Su Xiaocai feel aged.
She calmly ignored their titles, focusing on guiding their future work, "In the future, classes will be held in the New World outside of work hours. There are new simulation pods in the office; for non-urgent issues, leave messages and images in the classroom of the New World. If urgent, directly call. Do any of you have opinions?"
