Chapter 581 Problem

After Su Xiaoqiang walked into the door of the suite, the space in front of him suddenly became spacious. Different from ordinary rooms, the Regent Hotel has specially set aside a conference room for the executive-level suites. The spacious, bright and huge floor-to-ceiling windows opened the white The curtains and the dazzling sunlight on the glass curtain wall of the building across the street reflected into the conference room, subtly dividing the bright light of the girl who entered the door from the dim darkness around the boy sitting in the seat at the end of the conference table.

Wei Lewa followed Su Xiaoqiang and gently closed the door. Lin Xian came in with her. The boy at the end of the conference table raised his head and stared at it for a moment without saying anything, leaving Lin Xian to look for him in the corner of the conference room. He sat down on a single chair, folded his legs and hid in the dark corner, smiling at everyone as if he was not involved.

Su Xiaoqiang breathed out slightly and looked at the boy in a dark green uniform at the end of the conference table. He had a white scarf stuffed into his collar. His expression was very plain and businesslike, which made people lose sight of the familiarity of the past. This made her expression slightly dull. I became more serious and had the seriousness of a school debate.

"Lin Nian is also the examiner this time. We are all classmates, so I won't introduce you much." Lin Nian said.

Wei Lewa walked to the conference table and sat down next to Lin Nian. She opened the laptop in front of her and put her hands flat on her thighs. Lin Nian, who was standing aside, looked at Su Xiaoqiang standing in front of the conference table and said, "Since everyone has You are very familiar with it, so I suggest you skip the self-introduction step. Is this okay with you all?”

This "everyone" was probably asking the deputy examiner Wei Lewa and the examinee Su Xiaoqiang. Lin Xian in the corner just watched without any say or consideration. Wei Lewa and Su Xiaoqiang naturally had no objections. The examiner was the biggest in the room now.

"Then let's go directly to the second question, why do you want to apply to our school?" Lin Nian asked.

Wei Lewa, who was looking down at her notebook, suddenly raised her head and turned to look at Lin Nian. Lin Nian was flipping the fingers of his right hand and playing with a one-yuan coin, letting the coin roll back and forth quickly between his fingers.

This also attracted Su Xiaoqiang's attention. After suddenly hearing the question, he withdrew his gaze, took a small breath to adjust his breath and replied, "The Great Faculty is the key reason, and your college."

"Just answer in Chinese." Lin Nian interrupted her, "Our college mainly recommends a Chinese campus, and the language of daily communication is Chinese. Of course, if you are interested in English and other languages, such as Latin, Arabic, etc., you can also enroll in Then you can take electives. Now you only need to use normal Mandarin for the interview. We will also score you according to the standard Mandarin level and count it into the total score of the final interview result."

Lin Xian, who was sitting in the corner, raised his head slightly, with an interesting smile on his face, as if he was watching some interesting play. Veleva, who was beside Lin Nian, also raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing, putting her hands on her hands. Keep your keyboard ready to record some key information during the interview.

"Chinese is enough?" Su Xiaoqiang paused for a moment. Instead of being disappointed, he felt a little lucky. Although he had memorized a lot of English in advance and specially hired a foreign teacher to practice speaking, he suddenly couldn't use it anymore. But if it is Mandarin, She must be more confident than foreign languages. After all, language requires talent no matter how much you practice it. Even she is the kind of student who can't achieve a perfect accent.

"Chinese is enough, but please don't give a stereotyped answer. Just tell me what you really think." Lin Nian looked directly at Su Xiaoqiang and nodded.

"Find someone you like and get in touch with the real world." Su Xiaoqiang answered.

"Two answers, which one is more important?" Deputy examiner Wei Lewa suddenly asked while typing on the keyboard to record Su Xiaoqiang's answer.

"Priority?"

"It is not uncommon for young girls to pursue love and choose their future path. It is also common for confused moths to find a bright bonfire and jump into it. If you have both, there will always be a sequence. If you are asked to give up one of them, In this study, I will only get one of your ideas. What will you choose to give up and what will you gain?" Veleva's expression was indifferent, she could not see any emotions, and she could not get any positive or negative emotional feedback.

"I won't give up on anything, because this question is not true at all. When I find someone I like, I will be exposed to the real world."

"What if I have to make you give up one?"

"That means giving up everything, but I'm still sitting here taking part in this interview seriously." Su Xiaoqiang shook his head.

"A very clever answer, avoiding traps and mines accurately." Lin Xian suddenly spoke in the corner. Everyone looked at her, but no one stopped her from speaking. She tilted her head slightly and said with a smile. , "If you choose to give up any answer that is wrong, give up love, you will lie and answer obvious lies in the interview, give up truth, you will appear to have lost your opinion and no self-awareness."

The indifference on Wei Lewa's face disappeared, and she smiled lightly instead. She looked at Lin Xian and nodded as if she acknowledged the other party's analysis.

"What will you do if this interview fails?" Lin Nian asked.

"Wait for the opportunity and have another interview."

"What if there is no chance? Kassel College's interview qualifications are not available every year. If you fail once, the door may not open to the same person a second time." Lin Nian asked.

"It's just a possibility." Su Xiaoqiang nodded and said seriously, "Maybe not absolutely. If it is possible, it means there is still a glimmer of hope. The probability is not zero. Some things will always have a chance as long as they are not laid in the grave and covered with dust. .”

"That may be an extremely long wait. Waiting is the easiest thing to wear down people's patience. How can you be sure that you can wait until the end of time?" Veleva asked.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Wei Lewa. Lin Nian on the side did not stop this slightly arrogant question and answer. This is the examiner's right to give candidates some slightly spicy and unreasonable questions, and observe how they deal with emergencies under embarrassment and impatience. method, a very typical interview trap.

Su Xiaoqiang thought for ten seconds, and the conference room fell into silence for ten seconds. Lin Xian in the corner gently put his hands on the folded right knee, his eyes lowered, waiting for this answer that was difficult to answer perfectly. .

"Just tell the truth." Lin Nian broke the silence.

Su Xiaoqiang looked up at him, paused and lowered his head and said, "A person who knows what he is waiting for can endure the waiting forever!"

Her voice could only be heard in the conference room. She seemed to be talking about something ordinary. Veleva paused and then smiled and shook her head. It was unclear whether it was approval or ridicule. Lin Xian in the corner also smiled. He turned to look at the clear blue sky in the distance on the side of the building outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

No one questioned her answer, because she answered with a bit of force, as if spitting out a warm stone from her mouth. It was a bit clumsy and hard, but no one questioned that it was indeed her sincerity.

Lin Nian stopped rolling the coins in his hand, gently grasped them in his right hand and placed them on the table. He nodded, "Okay. Do you believe in aliens?"

"?" Su Xiaoqiang raised her head and glanced at Lin Nian, thinking she had heard wrong. The other party also stared at her and did not speak again.

Wei Lewa put her hands on the keyboard and stared at Su Xiaoqiang, ready to type at any time to record her answers. She was more serious than during those tricky questions and answers just now. She was like a layman recording the emperor's quotations. She was upright and courageous, no matter what Su Xiaoqiang said was outrageous. will be faithfully recorded.

"Alien?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little hesitant. She still felt that she had heard it wrong. Their previous questions and answers were very tricky, just like crossing a single-plank bridge in the air. If you take a wrong step, you will be belittled and looked down upon. The current question suddenly became harmonious. Yes, it feels like a street interview and Q&A.

"Are you wondering about the types of aliens?" Lin Nian saw Su Xiaoqiang tensed up and coughed slightly to remind him, "This question is not particularly strict about the definition of aliens, it is just a conceptualization of the scope of 'special species' vocabulary."

Special species?

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood what it meant. He immediately nodded and said firmly, "I believe it!"

"Why do you believe it?" Veleva asked while typing on the keyboard.

"I sometimes wonder if I am an 'alien' recently." Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.

Wei Lewa raised her head slightly, glanced at Su Xiaoqiang, and then recorded her words.

"And if I say that there are no 'aliens' in the world, wouldn't I deny the possible existence of a species? Then they will feel very depressed and lonely, right?" Su Xiaoqiang added.

"Are you implying that if there are aliens, they will be 'lonely' if they are not accepted?" Lin Xian suddenly said.

"Yes." Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and accepted the assist that deeply understood the meaning of the sentence.

"I believe aliens think aliens will be very lonely. Hmm." Veleva looked at Su Xiaoqiang while recording, and her originally indifferent mood became increasingly interesting.

"Next question." Lin Nian turned his head and glanced at the screen of Wei Lewa's laptop, gently clasped his hands together on the table and looked at Su Xiaoqiang, "Do you believe in super powers?"

It was another dramatic question, but now that Su Xiaoqiang was prompted by Lin Xian and Lin Nian before, he understood the meaning of these seemingly absurd questions.

The incident at the Pearl Tower and Lin Nian's confession to her had basically given her a clear idea of ​​what kind of place Cassel College was, and what kind of people the "hybrids" hiding there were, the so-called "aliens" ” and “superpowers” ​​are just ways to identify their kind.

Mixed race is a race that is very likely to discover that they are different in advance. Hiding in the crowd, they will gradually discover that they are different from ordinary people. The advantage of their bloodline will make them feel lonely that they are "monsters", while aliens will It is a metaphor for this, and the next question about superpowers naturally also alludes to the extraordinary abilities of hybrids. If a real hybrid were sitting here and had such abilities and was asked these questions, what would they do? The answer direction should be clear at a glance.

So she immediately followed the path of the correct answer and answered, "I believe it!"

"Similarly, tell me the reason?" Lin Nian asked.

"The reason why aliens and humans are separated is because they are different from ordinary humans. Since I believe in aliens, why can't I believe that aliens are separated from ordinary people because of these superpowers?" Su Xiaoqiang After gathering his thoughts, he replied.

Veleva couldn't help but raise her head again. This answer was almost clear - she knew the existence of hybrids, and she also knew what the differences and barriers between hybrids and humans were.

Veleva didn't know the standard answers for this interview, but because she was a mixed race, she roughly knew what the interview was going to be about through the questions. Now it seemed like she almost thought the girl was peeping. Answers to interview questions.

Oh, actually there is no need to "think".

Wei Lewa glanced at Lin Nian, who still kept a calm expression, sighed, and said nothing.

"Next question, do you think the basis of human existence is idealistic, spiritual and soulful, or materialistic, material and physical?" Lin Nian continued to ask.

This question made Su Xiaoqiang pause for a moment. After a while, she said, "Matter and spirit are closely inseparable. The characteristics of matter lead to the variation of spirit, and together they build the real world. Materialism and idealism are both correct. , it’s just a point of view from two sides of the same thing, looking at it from different angles, just like looking at star fruit from different angles.”

Lin Nian nodded lightly, and Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lin Nian. This answer was based on Lin Nian's previous explanation of the characteristics of the hybrid species. Hybrids are not idealistic supernatural creatures. They are also human beings. They are also living creatures, they can bleed, get sick, and die, but their material properties are enough to trigger spiritual phenomena considered in the real world, including the spiritual realm, supernatural spirits, etc.

So the answer to this question must be the same as the previous two choices. The correct answer is that neither can be given up. It needs to take a compromise and harmonious position, just like the sensitive gray that hybrids exist between humans and dragons. The reality of the world.

"Very good. Very good." Wei Lewa was speechless. She smiled wryly and shook her head to record Su Xiaoqiang's answer. Lin Nian on the side also nodded lightly, "The last question. If that door is really is opened to you, how far do you think you can go on a road where you can't see the future? After all, it is a long road. If we choose to set off and go too far, we will forget why we set out in the first place. We will lose our motivation Some travelers will shrink back and regret their decision to set out, but they have gone too far and can’t turn back.”

Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lin Nian, and Lin Nian looked at Su Xiaoqiang.

".Do you really realize how long-term and difficult the path you have chosen is? And the other path you gave up after making the choice now may have many other good things that you can touch, but it may be difficult for you to set foot on it in your life. Now maybe you still have a chance to regret it - at least before you actually set foot on this road, you can regret it anytime, including now." He said softly, with many unknown emotions mixed in his eyes.

Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "Is this really a question that the interviewer can ask? Why does it feel like a victim of Pheasant University has discovered his conscience and advised others to think twice."

Lin Nian opened his mouth, was quiet for a while, and suddenly laughed. Wei Lewa, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the boy with an expression that was not usually seen on him. Lin Xian in the corner also seemed to have realized something. As if, he chuckled slightly because of this conversation, and turned to look at the blue sky and sunshine outside the window.
