Ye Chong did not expect to see even more people inside. Even with his skills, moving through the crowd was difficult. The main hall was packed with people, and one could hear the occasional greeting between the candidates.
”Old Zhao, you’re here too. So?”
”Sigh, yeah, the world is so messed up now, it’s hard to find a safe place to live. I didn’t want to come, but Mei wouldn’t have it. Besides, if we’re hired, our families will be safer, so I decided to come give it a try. Gotta think about the children,” the man said with a wry smile.
”Sigh, that’s right, this world, how did it become such a mess?”
”I know …”
From the people speaking around him, Ye Chong quickly realized the reason the place was packed. Anyone hired by the Prometheus Group would have his or her family protected. This was more attractive a benefit than anything else.
Surviving was the most important thing in a chaotic world.
Ye Chong unknowingly drifted to the front along with the crowd.
”Please show your identity card.” A soft voice came from a beautiful lady, giving a slight nod at Ye Chong. The lady wore a working uniform in a neat and simple fashion, with a natural smile on her face that was warm and contagious.
Ye Chong was surprised to find himself at the front of the line.
”Please show your identity card,” the lady repeated, this time a little louder. This caught the attention of the surrounding people, who quickly turned to look at Ye Chong. The ones lining up behind him were glaring at his hesitation. If not for their generally refined manners, someone would have started shouting at him by now.
As the people all stared at Ye Chong, he could not help but feel embarrassed.
”Oh.” Ye Chong could only acknowledge awkwardly, and produced his identity card for the lady.
The lady received Ye Chong’s identity card with both hands and gently swiped the card on a reader.
An intermediate level modification technician.
The lady paused upon knowing this. This was the lowest qualification she had seen so far. In the eyes of others, an intermediate level modification technician might be high up, but here among professionals, it was only an entry level qualification.
Most of the candidates here had quality expertise in mech related subjects. Besides, even with their industry standard high qualifications, they could not guarantee their entry into Prometheus Group. They must still go through the Group’s special screening process.
Ye Chong had no industry standard qualifications of any kind. The intermediate modification technician status was only something Shang conjured up for him. Having a proper job would keep him inconspicuous. The job was also not too lowly or prestigious, suitable for Ye Chong to remain in the background.
