Chapter 390: What’s Your Special Skill? (Third Update)
Zhong Yingxue’s face was still flushed, the redness not fading at all!
Xia Yao’s little heart was also pounding wildly. Sneaking a glance at Jiangnan’s profile, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle!
“Xiao Nan? Are you jealous?”
Jiangnan: (◦`~´◦)
“That guy looks totally like a scumbag. If you ever run into someone like that again, you have to tell me, got it?”
“I’ll chase them off for you!”
Xia Yao looked at Jiangnan’s little show of possessiveness, feeling sweet inside!
Jealous but not admitting it? Hehe!
She didn’t expect Jiangnan, that steel-reinforced concrete straight man, to say any cheesy sweet talk that would make people swoon!
But this decisive kind of staking a claim was way more effective than any sweet talk!
Zhong Yingxue couldn’t help but smile at Jiangnan too, tempted to tease him a bit!
“His flower was actually kind of pretty...”
Jiangnan’s eyes widened: “Pfft! It’s nothing at all!”
“What kind of crappy thing is that?! How can it compare to my big gold brick?”
Zhong Yingxue smiled sweetly!
See? This is the romance of a steel straight man!
Yu Qingqing: “If I remember correctly, we haven’t even been at Pioneer Academy for an hour, and Nan Shen already took out the dean and cracked a senior’s head open...”
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: “Who cares about that? I already booked my train ticket back to Jiangcheng for tonight!”
“I’m not here for an interview at all! I’m here to freeload!”
Jiangnan proved with his own actions what it meant to not give a damn anymore!
Ye Xinghe’s eyes went wide. Are you serious?
The group entered the interview building!
Almost everyone had already arrived!
Leng Yan and Qi Yu were already there, and what surprised Jiangnan was that Rabbit Baby had also shown up!
As soon as they saw Jiangnan come in, everyone’s eyes lit up!
They all gathered around!
Leng Yan: “Nan Shen! Why are you so late?”
Hua Ling: “By the way, were you serious about that recent ‘Xiao Wanzi flying through the sky’ picture?”
Qi Yu was excited: “If I don’t drink some Dali for a day, I feel terrible all over!”
“You got even more handsome, oh!”
“Nan Shen! Nan Shen! I started a fan club for you! Quick, praise me!”
In no time, they formed a small group, with Jiangnan as the unofficial leader!
The other candidates were all college students, strong in ability!
They naturally isolated themselves from this bunch who had just graduated high school!
And Jiangnan became their backbone and their leading brother!
The Yulong Town incident—they’d all been through life and death together, so they naturally grew close.
Seeing Jiangnan and his crew laughing and chatting, the others couldn’t help but glance over.
“Ha! They’re really optimistic, huh! They’ll know what hell is soon enough!”
“A bunch of lucky kids! Pioneer Academy recruiting from high schools for the first time, and they got to be the ones!”
“Whoa! So many Silvers? What an eyesore!”
“Good thing! That means our chances of getting in are higher, right?”
Nobody thought much of Jiangnan’s high school group.
Before long, the staff announced the entire process!
First, group interviews, then after finishing, a physical exam!
Finally, assemble at the training ground behind the teaching building for an attack power test!
Ten people entered at a time, and the interviews went quickly!
After coming out, some went joyfully to the physical exam, while others dejectedly booked train tickets!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were in the previous batch. As their turn approached, they started to get nervous too!
Looking back at Jiangnan, they saw him bowed over his phone, playing a match-3 game...
It’s over!
This guy has already given up, hasn’t he!
Soon, Zhong Yingxue and the others went in and came out three minutes later!
Their pretty faces showed delight, but also a hint of awkwardness!
“How was it? Did you pass?”
“Hehe, we passed! We’ll wait for you on the playground, mm!”
“Good luck!”
Wu Liang patted his chest: “You two rest assured! Me and Nan Ge definitely won’t have any problems!”
Jiangnan covered his face!
Brother! Where does your confidence come from?
Is it from the dean I took out or the senior I cracked open?
Soon it was Jiangnan’s turn!
A batch of ten people entered the room!
Inside sat ten interviewers!
Tao Xinyi was the one responsible for interviewing Jiangnan!
As soon as Jiangnan entered, he noticed that behind the ten interviewers, Xiao Chuihuo sat in a wheelchair with a long face!
A white bandage was wrapped around his forehead!
The moment he saw Jiangnan come in, Xiao Chuihuo ground his teeth: “Xinyi! Get down! I’ll interview this kid!”
Tao Xinyi was taken aback, but she still pushed Xiao Chuihuo over and obediently stood behind him!
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
I knew it!
That train ticket wasn’t bought for nothing!
Jiangnan plopped right down on the chair and crossed his legs!
“You may begin speaking!”
Xiao Chuihuo: ???
Huh?
This cocky?
Are you interviewing me, or am I interviewing you?
In an instant, it reminded this old man of the fear he felt sixty years ago when he was in private school, spacing out in class and being called up by the teacher to answer questions!
[From Xiao Chuihuo: Resentment Value +666!]
The other interviewers, including the candidates there for the interview, were all stunned!
Every other candidate sat up straight and proper, cautious and meticulous!
This guy is a bit too full of himself!
It wasn’t that Jiangnan was overconfident; rather, he didn’t expect to pass at all!
He might as well take the chance to earn some resentment points!
He didn’t want to have come for nothing!
Cocky?
Then he might as well go all the way!
Xiao Chuihuo gritted his teeth, glanced at Jiangnan’s profile, and then began asking according to the interview procedure!
“What are your strengths?”
Jiangnan: “My strength is knowing how to say no!”
Xiao Chuihuo’s eyes lit up. This kid’s got something; his answer had depth!
In daily socializing, learning to refuse can save oneself a lot of unnecessary trouble!
“Then give me an example?”
Jiangnan: “I won’t!”
Tao Xinyi: Pfft—mmm!!!
She covered her mouth and turned away, clearly struggling not to laugh!
Xiao Chuihuo: !!!
Are you freaking using it on me already?
Live demonstration? Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
[From Xiao Chuihuo: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From...]
“Alright! Very good! And what about your special skill?”
Jiangnan stroked his chin, thinking for a moment, then looked down...
And raised an eyebrow!
“Hm?”
Several interviewers’ heads were buzzing!
Looking down? That... that...
Kid! That little “hm” of yours is quite suggestive!
Tao Xinyi’s face turned red, and she glared hard at Jiangnan!
Heavens!
Is this the student I’m going to be in charge of in the future?
Xiao Chuihuo’s face turned black!
“What the hell are you ‘hmming’ about?! Speak human language! What special skill?”
Jiangnan looked shy: “This... it’s not appropriate, is it?”
“Say it!”
“I’m pretty good at pissing people off!”
[From Xiao Chuihuo: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Tao Xinyi: Resentment Value +666!]
[From...]
I’ve already fucking witnessed it firsthand!
Now my ears are ringing, and my vision is going dark!
Looking at the long list of following questions, Xiao Chuihuo’s face grew even darker!
“Get out! You passed the interview!”
If I keep asking, I might very well die of anger!
Jiangnan: ???
Wait?
That’s it?
I can pass even acting like this?
Then did the ones who didn’t pass have to perform a pole dance during their interview?
Jiangnan was totally baffled as he got up and walked out!
The other candidates looked at him like he was some kind of miracle!
Brother!
You’re not just strong; you’re something else! How did that even work?
Did your dad start this Pioneer Academy or something?
At that moment, Wu Liang watched Jiangnan’s back with full admiration!
Nan Shen is Nan Shen! You have to respect it!
Xiao Chuihuo: “What are you staring at? You passed too! No need to ask!”
And then he kicked Wu Liang out!
Xiao Chuihuo looked at Jiangnan’s profile, full of helplessness!
A seedling like this—you couldn’t find one even with a lantern! Good?
How could they not want him? Besides, Yang Jian had called him countless times, repeatedly emphasizing this matter!
Whether he was a horse or a mule would be revealed during the comprehensive test!
Among the other candidates was that big guy who had bought ten pairs of Jiangnan’s underpants before!
His eyes were sparkling now!
So it seemed the interview wasn’t as serious as he had imagined!
Did they need to be as humorous and witty as Jiangnan to win the interviewer’s favor?
Got it! Understood! Enlightenment struck!
Interviewer: “And you? What’s your special skill?”
Big guy grinned: “Playing games! League! I’m a beast with Yasuo!”
Two veins popped on the interviewer’s forehead: “Get the hell out! Roll out in a cab!”
Big guy: ???
