Chapter 13 – Unbelievable person (1/2)

Swish, swish, swish……

The pages of the document were flipped over slowly. All the interview questions were asked.

Dong Xuebing was feeling frustrated, but he could not blow up. He could only bear with it.

The taller interviewer tapped on the document in front of him with his fingers and not saying a word. This interviewer had indeed wanted Dong Xuebing to score poorly for this interview. On the second day after the written test results were released, he had received a call from a leader. That leader had told him the name of a young man who will be going for the interview. Although the leader did not say anything, the taller interviewer knew that the young man was this leader’s nephew. The leader was hinting to him to let his nephew pass the interview and get the position.

The tall interviewer checked the results, and the young man’s results were 5th. He needs to get rid of one person in the top 4.

The first 3 people had handled the interview very well. So, this interviewer decided to fail the 4th position candidate, Dong Xuebing. This person did not have any background and was from an average family. Dong Xuebing’s results were only slightly higher than the 5th place. If he suppresses Dong Xuebing’s interview results, Dong Xuebing will drop to the 6th or 7th place. This was why he was trying to make things difficult for Dong Xuebing. The other interviewers knew what he was trying to do.

But here’s the problem.

Although Dong Xuebing’s answers were not fantastic, he did not make any mistakes. If the tall interviewer gave Dong Xuebing a low score for no reasons, he might get into trouble if he was found out. He decided to focus on the last interview question. Based on the interview procedures, the last question of the interview was up to the interviewer. The interviewer can ask anything.

Dong Xuebing does not know that the moment he steps foot into this interview room, he was destined to fail.

“Uh, this is the last question……” The taller interviewer was thinking hard about what question to ask.

Just when Dong Xuebing was preparing to listen to the final question, a group of people walked past the interview room.

A younger woman was laughing and saying: “If you want to buy a phone, you should buy an iPhone. It is the trendiest phone.”

A slightly older man replied: “I am still used to Nokia phones.”

“We should support our country’s domestic products.” Another man in his 30s said.

Their voices were quite loud. Dong Xuebing and the 3 interviewers looked at them. When those people walked further away, the taller interviewer who was closest to the door, stood up and close the door. He returned to back to his seat behind the desk and asked: “This is the last question of this interview. What are the colors and brand of those people’s clothes and shoes, who walked past just now?”

“Ah?” Dong Xuebing thought he had heard wrong. “Can you please repeat your question?”

The taller man repeated his question impatiently: “What are the colors and brand of those people’s clothes and shoes, who walked past just now?”

Dong Xuebing was stunned. All his focus was on the interviewers in front of him. He did not notice those people who walked past.

The taller interviewer looked at him: “You can’t even tell me the color of one person’s clothes and shoes?”

The female interviewer’s face changed. She wanted to say something, but she paused and shook her head.

WTF was this question? How can one remember those people’s clothes and shoes without preparation? This was an interview and who would dare to be distracted to notice those people? This was too much. Dong Xuebing could not stand it any longer and asked: “Sorry, I do not understand what has their clothes and shoe color got to do with my interview.”

The taller interviewer looked at him emotionlessly: “We take a lot of factors into consideration during the interview. For example, your observations, memories, focus, etc. Can’t you answer me?” Seeing Dong Xuebing’s pale face, the tall interviewer wrote something on his document and said: “That’s all. You can go back and wait for our call.”

That’s it?

I can’t get this position?

Fuck! Dong Xuebing was mad. Fine, you want to test my observations, memories, focus skills?
