After waiting for about five minutes, a young gay man came over and informed: "Comrade Gong Linglong, please come with me. You will take the cultural exam at the same time as the first batch of applicants."
"OK, thanks."
Gong Linglong handed the bag to the man for safekeeping and hurriedly followed him with a pen.
When she arrived at the small conference room, everyone else had already taken their seats. A middle-aged female leader wearing black-rimmed glasses was handing out test papers. The other person glanced at her and pointed to the last seat: "Sit there. "
"yes."
The test paper, which smelled of ink, was handed to the table. Gong Linglong immediately took it and looked at the questions. The front was high school cultural courses, and the back was subjective questions about ideological and moral character.
"The time is one hour, start now, hand in the paper on time when the time is up." The female leader looked serious and stood behind to invigilate the exam with her hands behind her back.
The original owner was a top student with excellent grades, and all the high school knowledge was retained in her mind. Gong Linglong picked up the pen and started writing without thinking too much, and she answered the questions very quickly.
In less than ten minutes, the first page was completed.
When she turned over the test paper and was about to answer the question, she realized that the female leader was standing behind her and watching her answer the question. She raised her head and smiled at her.
The female leader nodded slightly to her but said nothing.
The subsequent subjective questions were not difficult for her. During this time, she was preparing a speech for a cultural performance. She read a lot of modern red spiritual books, filling her head with spiritual food about ideology, morality, and beliefs. With some organization, I can write several high-level manuscripts.
Twenty minutes later, the negative test paper was finished, and it was densely packed with black words.
Gong Linglong was about to check if there were any typos when the female leader reached out and took away her paper and pointed outside: "Go to the lounge and wait."
"good."
Gong Linglong immediately stood up, saw everyone looking over, made a "come on" gesture to them, and went out quietly.
When everyone else saw that she had handed in the paper, and the paper in the leader's hand was full of words, everyone immediately continued writing.
"Brother Jing." Gong Linglong smiled and walked back to the lounge.
Lu Jingchuan was sitting inside reading the newspaper. When he saw her coming back, he immediately stood up and said, "Linglong, are you done with the exam?"
"Well, the cultural test is over and they are still taking the test. There is still half an hour."
Seeing her confident look, Lu Jingchuan smiled and immediately took out the thermos bottle, unscrewed the lid and brought it to her mouth, "Drink some water and take a rest. I'll peel an orange for you to eat."
Half an hour later, the first group of people who took the cultural assessment all handed in their papers, and the last group immediately went in to answer the questions.
"Gong Linglong, come with me."
The female leader in charge of invigilating the exam came to the lounge with a stack of test papers, called her at the door, and said to the other people who had just finished the exam: "You guys wait in the lounge, don't wander around, and come in the order in which you handed in the papers." When you go for an interview, I’ll have someone call your name at the door.”
"OK."
They came in and the lounge was a little crowded. Lu Jingchuan stood up with his bag and accompanied his wife out.
In the interview room, there were five leaders sitting in the front. There was a bench in the middle of the room. Gong Linglong entered and sat down on the bench.
She had seen this kind of interview scene many times, and it was very familiar to her. She was not nervous at all. Seeing the leaders taking turns reading and grading her papers, she sat quietly and waited.
After waiting for about three minutes, the cultural score came out.
The male leader sitting in the middle is about fifty years old. He is the top leader of the civil affairs department. His surname is Yan. He is holding her test paper in his hand and asks the first question: "Comrade Gong Linglong, I just read your Personal information, you recently got married and came to Seoul with the army?"
"Yes, I was born and raised in the countryside of Tancheng Yang County, X Province. I married my husband a month ago and joined the army."
She is a military wife, and there is no need for further investigation in terms of political review. Secretary Yan continued: "Your academic performance is good, and the subjective questions at the back are clearly expressed and have personal opinions. Now let me ask you a question. If you pass the assessment, Now that you have entered the rescue department of the civil affairs department, what reforms do you want to make in the work of the unit?"
Regarding this issue, Gong Linglong has many reform measures in his mind. If he wrote them down in detail, it would be enough to write a book.
However, some constructive suggestions cannot be mentioned or implemented in this special era. Speaking out will only cause trouble for herself, so she organized her words in her mind, and then selected seven or eight reform ideas that were timely and timely to answer.
While she was talking, the five leaders in the front row were all taking notes. Perhaps because they thought her idea was a good one, they nodded from time to time.
After she finished speaking, the only female leader asked: "You grew up in a rural area. Have you ever done farm work?"
"Did it."
Her question surprised Gong Linglong.
The female leader looked at her steadily and said, "You don't look like you have done farm work."
Gong Linglong understood and smiled coquettishly: "I was born with fair skin, and the more I get exposed to the sun, the whiter it becomes. This appearance also takes after my mother. I am proficient in all farm work and housework. I can go up to the mountains to chop wood and trees, and go to the fields to sow, transplant, and harvest. In addition, they are very strong, and when working in the production team, they receive full work points, which is no worse than that of men."
Hearing what she said, the other four male leaders all laughed. Secretary Yan pointed to the big table next to him, "Here, move the table down and let us see your strength."
Seeing them testing their strength, Gong Linglong had a vague guess. It seemed that the job he applied for today would involve a lot of physical work in the future.
However, it is understandable that this is a service job. All kinds of donated items have to be distributed from the rescue office. There are a lot of heavy objects that need to be moved. If you don't have good strength, you really won't be able to do it.
Tables these days are all made of solid wood, and this table is quite large. Gong Linglong tried it out first, and then moved it easily with skill.
"okay."
The female leader lowered her hand, took out a blue-covered folder from the cabinet at the back, and handed it to her: "You can mentally calculate this statistics on the spot for half an hour."
The eyes of other leaders moved, and Secretary Yan pointed to the big table, "Gong Linglong, just sit here and think about it."
"OK."
Soon the second interviewer came in. He glanced at Gong Linglong first, and then sat down on the small bench nervously.
The assessment of these latter people was far less complicated than the questions asked in Gong Linglong's interview, and they were not asked to calculate. They all answered one question and left.
After the fourth interview was over, Gong Linglong stood up and said, "Leaders, I'm done."
The female leader looked at her watch and saw that it had only been 18 minutes. Her eyes moved and she reached out to her: "Bring it here, let me check."
After everyone read it, Secretary Yan took out a piece of paper from the drawer and quickly wrote a few lines. The five people took turns signing their names and stamping their seals.
The female leader handed her the paper with a serious face: "Come to the 106 office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to see me for the entry procedures."
Gong Linglong was overjoyed and took it with a smile, "Thank you, leaders."
"Get out." The female leader waved her hand.
