The atmosphere also became weird, and the sound was stuck in the solid air, like a speaker blocked by a viscous solid-liquid mixture.
Several trainee investigators who were sitting at the edge opposite looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, with a rather complicated expression on their faces.
"Commander Bai, could you please explain in detail what you mean?" Tang Ran asked first.
"That is of course the literal meaning." Bai Lu said lightly.
There was another long silence in the conference hall.
Another deacon also spoke: "If I understand correctly, Commander Bai, do you mean that only one of these new trainees can be qualified to become a full member?"
"Yes." Bai Lu nodded.
The eyes of the trainee investigators present changed invariably.
An invisible pressure suddenly came to them.
They didn't have as much experience as the veterans on the field, so they were caught off guard for a while.
The deacon-level members subconsciously looked at Le Zhengxuan, who was sitting in the middle.
But he didn't seem to intend to speak. Instead, he maintained an upright sitting posture, listened carefully to the speeches of everyone present, and nodded gently from time to time.
The gaze under the thin-rimmed glasses used the tabletop as a dividing line and glanced up and down calmly.
Su Ji, who noticed this scene, felt that her head was full of black lines.
The movements and demeanor of this big shot seemed all too real to a professional fisherman like him.
He may have thought that he was perfectly hidden, but Su Ji could tell at a glance that on the surface he seemed to be attending the meeting seriously, but in fact he was secretly tinkering with his cell phone under the table.
And judging from the frequency of this glance, he is probably playing a turn-based card game.
Su Ji could even tell from his extraordinarily subtle micro-expression that he was probably being frantically burning the rope by his opponent.
"Commander Bai, can we know the reason?"
Another deacon couldn't help but say, "Only one of the five newcomers is chosen. This is the first time I have heard of such a thing."
"Why did Xinghai Division introduce such reform measures recently?"
"Because players' resources are becoming increasingly insufficient." Bai Lu said lightly, "The competition in this battlefield game is more intense and cruel than any previous one."
"Coupled with the new race advent game, the difficulty of competing for resources has reached a new level."
"The Dongxia Branch no longer has so many resources that can be used to train new people."
"Currently, Tianxuanhui's talent strategy layout has changed from a focus on quantity to a focus on quality."
"The number of human players will only increase in the future."
"But for us, compared to a large team, a team of elite players is of the greatest significance."
The deacons stopped talking.
Because even Su Ji, who is a trainee investigator, can probably understand what Bai Lu means.
To put it simply, their new batch seems to have entered the market at a bad time.
Over the years, for young people in today's world, there is a word that is almost impossible to avoid, called "involution."
Nowadays, whether it is in further education, job hunting, marriage or other aspects...
Contemporary young people use this word crazily all the time.
Even though many people hold high the banner of flattening, most of the time they are still forced to keep being pushed forward by the fast-paced wave of life.
Of course you can choose to lie down, but the cruel truth is that even the matter of lying down is involved...
And what ordinary people call lying down is just lying in a turbulent and fierce whirlpool.
Do you think you are really lying down?
It’s really not true, your body is curling up even when you are dreaming...
In this era where people dare not even breathe for too long, involution has long become an unstoppable infectious disease.
Now, this disease has actually spread to the players of battlefield games.
The overt and covert struggles between races will intensify the competition for resources, and ultimately evolve into a world where the fittest survive, the fittest survive, and the strong are respected.
And when the internal resources possessed by a race cannot be obtained in large quantities from the external environment in the short term.
Then this ever-expanding group can only roll up helplessly internally.
So, for this group of newcomers, this is indeed not a particularly good era.
But the good news is, it's not too bad.
"In that case, I would like to know how this quota is ultimately allocated?"
"The trainee investigators in our group have performed very well during the trainee period. Their strength and comprehensive quality in all aspects have far exceeded the requirements for full-time employment."
A deacon asked, "Would it be a bit unjustifiable if I were rejected for this reason?"
"If something like this really happened, we can only express our deep regret."
Bai Lu raised her eyebrows and said in a particularly cold tone:
"Excellence is never the most convincing thing, because there are always better people in this world."
"What we want is not excellent people, nor better people."
"Within the range of choices available, what we need is the best person."
There was dead silence.
No one dared to respond to Bai Lu's words.
Although her voice was not loud, nor did it have any aggressive tone.
But you will feel a particularly oppressive and intimidating force from her for no reason.
Su Ji, who has always been short of words, could only use the words "high-flying female boss" to describe this woman for a while...
At this time, a young boy sitting next to him raised his hand: "Excuse me, can I ask a question?"
Everyone followed the sound.
What Su Ji saw was a boy with thick, stiff hair and a short crew cut.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin is a healthy wheat color. The two huge pectoralis major muscles on his chest make the shirt he wears bear huge pressure that should not be borne at this age.
"Okay, you say." Bai Lu said.
"Okay." The big boy nodded and said, "I want to know, if there is only one quota for becoming a regular person, what will the organization do with the remaining four?"
"You will be transferred to other institutions in the Dongxia Branch for rotational training until the most suitable position for you is selected."
Bai Lu said, "Since the talent training mechanism among the various organizations within Tianxuanhui operates independently, after being transferred and assigned, the internship period may need to be extended for a certain period of time depending on the individual's ability."
hiss……
Su Ji couldn't help but gasped subconsciously.
Daqing, to put it bluntly, it means being adjusted by obedience?
If this kind of thing happens to any person, he will definitely be extremely unhappy in his heart.
First of all, in the entire Dongxia branch, Xinghai Division's treatment is almost the highest, at least for newcomers.
Secondly, no one wants to remain an unknown person in the probationary period.
In such an official organization, as long as one does not become a regular employee, there will be no sense of belonging and security.
So after listening to Bai Lu's answer, the trainee team members all looked a little wilted.
At this time, the big boy said in a loud voice that could be heard by almost everyone at the scene:
"Since Commander Bai just said that."
"Then I would like to ask - among our five newcomers, which one is the best?"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions on the faces of everyone at the conference table changed immediately.
All I can say is that this young man is indeed very stubborn.
How dare you ask such a question so directly in such a meeting?
Although the answer to this question is indeed something that everyone is very concerned about, it is really inappropriate to say such words in this situation.
And these words obviously made the atmosphere on the conference table even more subtle and tense.
Bai Lu did not reply to him immediately, but quietly looked down at the document in her hand.
But the big guy didn't seem to care about it at all, and continued slowly:
"Commander Bai, you seem to be particularly troubled by this."
"Okay, let me make a suggestion for you. You can see if it works."
"Since you don't know who is the best among us for a while, it's better to let the organization set up a competition for us."
"There are only five of us anyway, let's just have a fight and it's over. Whoever stands at the end will be the strongest one!"
"Fair, just, open, absolutely feasible!"
"...?" Su Ji was dumbfounded.
Good guy, what kind of brainless statement is this?
Isn't that a bit too rude?
Probably in this guy's eyes, whoever can beat him better is the better one, right?
After all, the main mission of the Xinghai Division is to carry out major missions in the spiritual realm and real-world war zones, which really tests the front-line combat capabilities.
But it would be too arbitrary to judge a player's comprehensive ability based on this aspect alone.
Although I don’t know what this guy’s true intention is, looking at the confident expression on his face, he is probably very confident in his fighting ability...
"I'll go, good guy! This guy is so interesting!" Hua Jianxiao couldn't hold it in anymore and whispered in Su Ji's ear, "I'm afraid this guy didn't come here specifically to rectify the workplace!"
Su Jixin said that she didn’t know whether it was to rectify the workplace or to be rectified...
However, this boy seems to be about the same age as him, and he is still in the "too young" age group.
Even if Su Ji lacks social beatings and experience, she still knows very well not to make enemies at will in the workplace.
And his words not only left a bad impression on the senior leaders, but also offended the other four trainee investigators present.
The expressions on the faces of several senior executives were a bit complicated. Bai Lu put down the documents in her hands and said calmly: "Do you have any more questions, Investigator Pang Yongyi?"
"Report to Commander Bai, I don't have any more here," said the big-muscled tyrant named Pang Yongyi.
"Okay." Bai Lu took a deep breath.
After taking a sip of hot water from the glass bottle, she continued:
"First of all, I would like to thank Investigator Pang Yongyi for his opinion. We will consider it carefully if we have the opportunity."
"Then let me answer your question."
"What you are confused about is how to judge who is the best among the five trainee investigators, right?"
"Yes, thank you Commander Bai for answering your questions." Pang Yongyi nodded and said.
"You're welcome. Since you've already asked, I'll make it clear to you all while all the young people are present." Bai Lu said, "According to the red-headed documents issued above, you new batch of newcomers
I will be responsible for the assessment."
boom!
At this moment, Su Ji seemed to hear the sound of five thunders hitting his head.
Damn it, it’s just Murphy’s law, why are you so afraid?
He raised his leg and kicked Hua Jianxiao viciously under the table.
"Hiss! Damn it, what are you doing?"
Hua Jianxiao grinned after being kicked, and couldn't help gasping.
"It's your fault for being such a crow mouth."
Su Ji cursed.
Bai Lu continued:
"At eight o'clock in the morning next Friday, you will gather in the same Avalon and compete on the same stage to complete your full-time assessment."
"At that time, our assessment team—including Director General Le Zhengxuan of our Xinghai Department, as well as all the young and promising deacons present here—will observe your performance within the bureau in real time through potential testing."
"After the assessment, we will select the best one based on your performance."
"Do you have any questions?"
Several trainee members looked at each other in silence.
Auntie, we don't dare to say anything, okay...
This feeling is very similar to the way the dean lectured at the grade assembly when we were students. Even if we have questions, we don’t have the courage to ask them...
It was Pang Yongyi who finally spoke up: "There is no doubt, but Commander Bai, I would like to ask, what type of Avalon did we enter during the assessment?"
"Don't reveal too much specific information. You will naturally understand it by then."
"However, I can tell you a key word."
Bai Lu said calmly:
"stage show."
*
*
The meeting lasted until noon and then ended.
At the later stage of the meeting, the deacons and Bai Lu present were having a heated discussion.
It mainly takes the form of multi-player Avalon competition assessment. Not only this group of newcomers, but also the other veterans are seeing it for the first time, so it is inevitable that there will be some controversy.
But after all, he was in the Xinghai Division, so everyone knew Bai Lu's temper quite well.
Therefore, the main purpose of their argument was not to persuade Bai Lu, but... to let Director Lezheng hear it.
After all, no matter how much Bai Lu persists, the person with final decision-making power will naturally still be their chief director.
But the Secretary General didn't seem to care much about it.
He just listened attentively, nodded from time to time, showed a serious expression and responded a few times... and then continued to glance at his crotch.
Haha, this young general manager really has quite a personality... Su Ji has a black line at his end.
In this way, until the end of the meeting, the director-general did not speak much.
So the assessment plan was decided.
According to Bai Lu, there may be new investigators from the previous term who have just joined the company to observe this battle, which can be regarded as one of the professional training contents after becoming a regular employee.
Based on Su Ji's relatively small career experience, he could probably guess it.
This so-called observation sounds nice, but in fact, eighty percent of the time, a group of seniors are watching the live broadcast of their assessment, and they are all pointing at each other crazily from God’s perspective... It’s very similar to some domestic romance or reality shows.
observer.
Even if you reject it in your heart, you can only accept it obediently.
After all, they are all new here, so what else can they say?
After the meeting, Tang Ran, Xia Ying and others in the seventh group all expressed their condolences to Su Ji.
He really didn't have good luck this time...
First, it happened to catch up with the reform within the organization, and second, it was impartial and hit the target of the old witch Bailu's gun.
At the meeting just now, Tang Ran had been trying to help Su Ji, but unfortunately it was still of no use.
If Le Zhengxuan doesn't say anything, no matter how much they say below, it will have no effect.
Now that the deal is done, the only thing Su Ji can do is to prepare well for the next regular examination.
Among the five people, only one person can stand out.
Twenty percent probability...
It's really a bit hard to bear.
And except for Pang Yongyi, who showed up at the meeting today, Su Ji didn't know anything about the other three opponents.
But that's nothing.
The most important thing is - a stage play?
What kind of weird gameplay is this?
It sounds like it should be a type of spiritual realm that he has never been exposed to before.
"It sounds a bit mysterious, but it's actually not that complicated."
Seeing Su Ji's gloomy look, Xia Ying opened her mouth to answer the question: "Probably, you will get a new identity, and then get a task related to the identity."
"As for how to handle it next, that's up to you."
The corner of Su Ji's mouth twitched slightly: "Why does it sound a bit... like an RPG?"
The so-called RPG is actually a Role-playing game, that is, a role-playing game.
In such games, players generally need to play a certain role and move in a realistic or fictional world.
This is a rare piece of good news.
Because Brother Ji, a veteran, usually pushes girls in RPG games, so he has some experience in how to play this kind of game...
"Absolutely." Xia Ying said, "I wish you good luck."
After walking out for a few steps, he paused again and said without looking back:
"Don't lose to those guys."
"At least let me, as a master, have some face."
"Hey." Su Ji smiled bitterly.
This girl's way of speaking is still as cold as ever...
Shaking her head helplessly, Su Ji walked out of the company's door and was about to walk towards the pink Maserati.
At this time, the phone sounded a notification tone.
Su Ji took it out and took a look and found that someone had sent a friend request on WeChat.
After passing the application, the person who came was none other than today's new investigator Pang Yongyi.
Pang Yongyi: "Hey, buddy! Are you here to write a book?"
Pang Yongyi: "You are the only one missing tonight in the new traineeship!"
