"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this interview. I will notify you as soon as the results are out..."

"Well, I really can't decide right away. You see there are so many uncles and aunties here today. It's just the beginning. I definitely can't make a decision right now..."

"No! Aunt Shi! I really can't accept this. Our project will go to the exchange office to redeem it if necessary. You have already made a lot of donations to the project, so you really can't..."

After Jiao Beichuan left, Lu Chuan declined several parents in succession, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

Rejecting others is a very difficult thing. We are all human beings. Basically, when you hear Lu Chuan asking to go back and wait for the news, you will know that there is no chance. After that, whether you are reasonable or struggling, you may even cry silently like Shi Fei in front of you.

, will make Lu Chuan a little overwhelmed.

However, these parents whose abilities belong to the combat system are really inappropriate in Lu Chuan's opinion. Jingguo and Utopia are in a cooperative relationship. It was difficult for Lu Chuan to imagine that a battle would occur during this trip. Moreover, there are many people in their team.

Now that he already has Yu Huan, combat effectiveness is definitely not his priority.

Aunt Shi Fei, who was in front of him at the moment, was a key member of the Ministry of Education. The golden finger summoned a mirror that could reflect spells. Lu Chuan could not imagine the circumstances under which such an ability would be used.

To put it bluntly, even if they really had an emergency in Jingguo, their first choice would be to escape as quickly as possible with a blind eye and a short distance to the end of the world.

In the past few years, as soon as Aunt Shi Fei received her monthly salary and task rewards, she would donate most of them to the Chosen Project. There are many parents like her in Utopia.

Lu Chuan could feel her eagerness and knew that she was willing to sacrifice everything just to find her child, but she was still not the right candidate. Her abilities and expertise did not match her, and she was responsible for important work in Utopia.

"Xiao Lu, no matter whether I can go or not in the end, I still want to thank you." Shi Fei calmed down her mood, stood up and bowed to Lu Chuan, "Thank you for letting us all see hope. Our Nana will ask you to

Already."

Lu Chuan quickly stood up and returned the greeting, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

Today is the first time he has seen Shi Fei, but he has said this sentence "do your best" several times. In fact, no one can be sure whether their children are among the sixteen people this time, and no one can be sure about them.

Is the child still alive?

As Shi Fei said, Lu Chuan's appearance brought hope, and everyone was guarding this hope carefully.

...

After Shi Fei left the conference room, Lu Chuan waited for a long time without seeing the next person come in. Just when he was about to go out to check the situation, an unshaven man knocked on the door and walked into the conference room.

Lu Chuan knew this man, he had met him a few times during meetings, and he had also heard of him when chatting with Cheng Guanxue. He would also be Cheng Guanxue’s immediate boss in the future, and the leader of the staff group of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Xu Keming.

Xu Keming glanced at Lu Chuan with squinted eyes, and then sat down in front of Lu Chuan in a smooth manner. He skillfully took out a cigarette and put it in his hand. After thinking about it, he seemed to respect Lu Chuan as the interviewer, so he didn't put the cigarette away.

Lit it, but pin it to your ears.

"Hello, Team Leader Xu, would you like to introduce yourself first?" Lu Chuan saw that the big boss didn't say anything after he sat down, so he took the initiative to say hello.

"Ah, yes, I'm here for an interview. Sorry."

Xu Keming seemed to have not woken up, which made Lu Chuan feel unreliable towards him. However, he had read Xu Keming's information and found that he did have a son who had been replaced by time travel for more than a year.

Already.

"My name is Xu Keming, the leader of the staff group of the Ministry of Military Affairs. I am 48 years old and I am Xu Tianliang's father."

After Xu Keming finished speaking, Lu Chuan was still waiting for the next sentence. After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no movement, but he found that Xu Keming was just looking at him.

"You...are not here for an interview?" Lu Chuan came to his senses, but at the same time he was a little confused.

"I have to come for the interview, and I have to give an explanation to my wife. I can't go for the mission. We are about to attack Yaoguo, and I can't leave."

Xu Keming spoke in a calm tone. Lu Chuan fully understood what he meant and could accept his reasons. However, perhaps because the contrast with Shi Fei who had just finished the interview was too strong, Lu Chuan still felt a little uncomfortable.

"If that's the case, then let's both take a rest. You can go out in ten minutes or so. It's easy to do business when you get back." Lu Chuan also relaxed and leaned back on the chair to look at the unshaven man in front of him.

All the old men in Utopia are handsome. Even though Team Leader Xu is a bit slovenly and his hair is messy, it still cannot hide the fact that he is supposed to be a handsome man.

Xu Keming nodded and sat quietly opposite Lu Chuan, waiting for time to pass.

But his eyes were unfocused, as if he was thinking about other things.

Lu Chuan was helpless. He simply took out his mobile phone and browsed today's news. He found that his matter was being discussed in large and small groups. He heard that there were still many parents outside who had come to queue in advance, and parents who had completed the interview were also pulled by people behind them.

Ask questions and thoughts about interviews.

There is a common rule in both worlds. Time flies very fast when you are scrolling through your mobile phone. After reading all the messages in several groups, the interview time is almost gone.

"Team Leader Xu, no matter what, thank you very much for coming to the interview today. I will notify you of the results of the interview as soon as possible."

"Lu Chuan, although I can't go, I still have three things to tell you. The first thing is that you don't have to pay too much attention to the official attitude of Jingguo when you go there. You can even ask them for help when necessary." Xu Keming

His eyes regained focus and he suddenly said.

"Jing Congyun is very smart, and Jing Guo's think tank is not stupid either. A large number of you will follow, especially you, Lu Chuan, who will easily guess it. Our relationship with Jing Guo will still heat up in a short time.

, This matter does not involve the interests of Jingguo people, and as long as Jing Congyun is not out of his mind, they will not deliberately obstruct it."

Looking at Xu Keming who suddenly offered advice, Lu Chuan felt as if Zhuge Liang had left three tips before leaving.

"Then if we don't follow the mission and go invisible like last time... Oh, there's no need." Lu Chuan had just asked the question and figured it out himself.

Xu Keming nodded, not intending to elaborate, "The second thing is, I have a few talismans here, not for you, but for Guan Xue. The young man has a very smart mind, and there is not much difference between him and me.

, I just want to go out and exercise this time, if you give him the talisman, he will understand."

Here it comes, here comes the tip bag. Lu Chuan has heard of Xu Keming’s golden finger, which is absolutely calm. It is a passive skill that can force oneself to be in a calm and sober state. It can be exempted from many controls and illusions, but he

The talisman has a time limit.

"One last thing, be careful with Jing Congyun. Be careful in every sense of the word. I have always suggested that people like Jing Congyun should be assassinated in advance to avoid causing trouble in the future. It's a pity." Xu Ke

Ming shook his head and took off the cigarette from his ear.

But he didn't light it, he just held it in his hand and turned it around.

This was not the first time that Lu Chuan heard someone tell him to be careful of Jing Congyun. He had met Jing Congyun when he left Beining City, and his impression was that Jing Congyun had no airs at all and his speech was extremely crude.

"Thank you, Team Leader Xu, we will pay attention."

Xu Keming nodded and stood up, turned around and walked out the door. He suddenly stopped when he reached the door, "If any of the children found are Liangliang, please let me know. Thank you."

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, not because he heard Xu Keming's concern for his children, but because Xu Keming seemed very sure that he could find the children.

"I will."

...

"Did the interview go well today?" Zhang Qinghe asked Lu Chuan as soon as he walked in and sat down.

Lu Chuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. After Xu Keming, he interviewed a few more people. They all had gorgeous resumes and had a strong desire to join the team, but none of them were candidates that met Lu Chuan's expectations.

"Actually, everyone is very good. Maybe the conditions I want are weird."

In fact, Zhang Qinghe meets Lu Chuan's requirements. Zhang Qinghe is said to be omnipotent. He has learned all the skills and techniques in Utopia. No matter how complicated the situation is, such a god will always have something he can do.

Solve it with magic.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qinghe has also been unable to leave recently. With the influx of a large number of immigrants, he needs to take the lead in arranging minor education, vocational education and ideological education.

"So the current situation is that you want to form a more functional team, but you find that most of the people's abilities are biased towards combat, right?" Zhang Qinghe asked Lu Chuan for his resume, and after flipping through it, he knew the problem.

.

Lu Chuan nodded. Among the parents he had just interviewed, Fa Tian Xiang Di, Ba Men Dun Jia, and Fan Long were all very powerful golden fingers, but these people were still not the companions Lu Chuan wanted to find.

They may all have very strong combat capabilities, but their suitability for Lu Chuan's team is not as good as the sea protector Zhao Manyu introduced by Li Huaijin last time.

"I actually know a few people whose conditions may be more suitable for your standards." Zhang Qinghe flipped through his resume and returned it to Lu Chuan.

Zhang Qinghe didn't give in, and immediately continued, "But they can't sign up for the interview because they died in the war to defend Utopia five years ago.

As you can see, people who are better at fighting are more likely to survive on a cruel battlefield, and those who have special abilities but are not actually good at fighting also want to defend Utopia."

Zhang Qinghe's voice was soft and slow, as if he was recalling his former companions.

Lu Chuan had thought about this possibility, but when he actually heard Zhang Qinghe say this fact, he still felt cruel.

"You have a few people here who are worthy of attention, and may be more in line with your requirements.

Yang Meini, her ability is tracking. After one lock, she can know it even to the ends of the earth. She can lock up to 5 people. Currently, it is known that a quota is fixed for Jing Congyun. You can pay attention to her.

Wang Yulong's ability is to see through magic, which can be used for illusions, formations, restrictions, etc. He also has rich experience in carrying out special tasks.

And Zhao Manyu, I remember that your mission this time is not far from the North Sea. The ocean is her home field, and if the mission target is in the sea, let alone that."

Zhang Qinghe recommended three people at once, and Lu Chuan quickly wrote down these names so that he could focus on them during the interview.

"I remember the target is Muping County, right? How big a team do you plan to form now?"

Lu Chuan found that these big guys would focus on customers, but he still answered honestly, "It's in Muping County. We plan to have about ten people, preferably no more than ten people. The target location is relatively clear. In most cases, operations are concentrated and there are many people."

Instead, it is a waste of resources.

Everyone is very busy, and they are about to prepare for Yaoguo, so it is best to achieve a balance."

Zhang Qinghe nodded, and then said, "By the way, when you send me the elimination news later, you should give a stronger reason, one that cannot be refuted."

Lu Chuan was startled, what do you mean, Minister Zhang Qinghe was eliminated from the interview because he stepped into the conference room with his left foot first?

Seeing that Lu Chuan didn't understand, Zhang Qinghe added, "Didn't you interview Lao Xu? It's all the same. If you don't find a stronger reason to reject us, it will be difficult for us to do business when we go back.

We also love our children and miss them terribly, but on the one hand we really can't leave, on the other hand we also believe in you, Lu Chuan."

Lu Chuan looked at Zhang Sanwen with a wry smile on his face. He is a minister and he loves his career in Utopia, but he must consider the feelings of his family.

"So I have to ask you to take the blame for us and refuse it decisively."

Lu Chuan felt the heaviness and struggle. He thought of the parents he had interviewed today, of Xu Keming, who was in the same situation as Zhang Qinghe but had a different attitude, and of Tian Luyuan.

"Team Leader Xu... didn't tell me this." Lu Chuan picked Xu Keming from his resume and recalled his performance today and the unlit cigarette in his hand.

"Old Xu... his absolute calmness is a very unfortunate thing. He won't get drunk when he drinks, and illusions can't blind him. As long as he is awake, the pain will haunt him.

And before you appeared, from his rational analysis, he could not see any hope of recovering the child, but because of his absolute calmness, even if he was in pain inside, he would not show it on his face.

Only the special tobacco in his hand can temporarily block all his perceptions and relieve his mood, but that kind of tobacco is actually a chronic poison and will seriously damage his body."

Lu Chuan nodded silently. Although escaping was shameful but useful, Xu Keming could not escape.
Chapter completed!
