My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely!

“Next!”

In the back courtyard of Zizai Liang Lane.

The electricians who had come to apply were all sitting on long benches outside the interview room, waiting one after another for the interviewer inside to call their numbers.

It was somewhat different from the spirited, neat and clean Qiankun Grain Store.

Zizai Liang Lane was now a mess inside. Not only were dozens of interviewees crowded around the courtyard, but the construction crew hired earlier was also packed in there, building new independent rooms for the newly recruited electricians.

It was clear that this was a complete “big move” on Zizai Liang Lane’s part!

“Strange. Yesterday I saw them still taking only one person, so why did they suddenly raise the number to fifteen today?”

“And... with so many strangers squeezed together, it will probably take them a while just to get used to each other, won’t it?”

Watching the very different expressions on the faces of the interviewees going in and coming out, Su Mo turned his head in slight puzzlement to Sun Quan beside him, who had just come back from asking around.

Since the two of them had come in, three people had already passed the interview.

They were a young man in his early twenties, an old man in his fifties, and a woman in her thirties whose charm had not yet faded.

With such a wide spread of ages, never mind whether there would be gaps in technical level, the communication alone would be trouble.

The generation gap alone was enough to give someone a headache.

“What getting used to, Brother Su? I just asked around, and this Zizai Liang Lane actually wants to recruit people for solo development!”

“Solo?” Su Mo was even more puzzled.

“Yes, solo. These fifteen people they take in will not form a team to develop energy stone tools. They will each work alone!”

Pointing at the construction crew working at a furious pace, Sun Quan had a hint of excitement on his face.

“To apply for this position, there are only two prerequisites.”

“First, everyone gets a fifteen-day development deadline. No matter what kind of tool you make, you must produce results within these fifteen days.”

“If you can’t produce anything when time is up, you not only don’t get a single cent of pay, you’ll also be fired on the spot and lose one job-hunting chance.”

“Second, you must be honest and steady. You can’t have worked at more than two places in the territory, and you can’t have gone job-hunting more than twice.”

“Judging from the three they’ve accepted, all of them are people job-hunting for the first time!”

When he got to the last sentence, Sun Quan’s eyes changed slightly. Although it lasted only a moment, Su Mo noticed it perfectly well.

Clearly, in his eyes, Su Mo, who carried the identity of a Liberty Market electrician, had definitely job-hopped more than once.

With the rules limiting them like this, the two of them were no longer competitors.

There was naturally no need to cover up this information anymore either.

“So you mean some people with better skills were eliminated in favor of these three because of this restriction?”

Sun Quan nodded. “Right. As long as you go over this limit, even if the earlier people were clearly much better than these three in skill, they weren’t picked.”

“That is strange!”

After this explanation, the doubt in Su Mo’s heart had not lessened in the least. If anything, it had grown.

But just then, the door of the interview room in front opened again, and a young woman walked out.

“To everyone who has come for an interview, I am the current shopkeeper of Zizai Liang Lane, Zhang Min, and I am also your interviewer today.”

“So as not to waste everyone’s time, we will not hire anyone who has job-hopped within the territory or who is job-hunting for the second time. Please forgive us.”

“All friends who are job-hunting for the first time, please come into the interview room all together!”

In an instant, after the woman’s words fell, the courtyard began to buzz.

Quite a few people said they could not accept being eliminated for such a ridiculous reason and clamored to prove their skills first.

But before long, a few staff members came up and said that a meal was being provided as compensation, and the complaining voices quickly faded again.

After all, anyone with eyes could see that compared with Qiankun Grain Store, Zizai Liang Lane showed great sincerity. It was just limited by certain rules and so had this kind of reason, and it could not be counted as toying with people.

That being so, they naturally had no reason to keep pestering the shop here.

Before long, of the fifty or sixty people in the courtyard, some dispersed and some left, until only six remained, Su Mo included.

“Come in, all of you!”

Suddenly seeing that Su Mo still had not left and was sitting upright beside him,

Sun Quan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end it turned into an awkward laugh.

“Brother Su, what nerve!”

“Let’s go. Maybe we’ll even be colleagues in the future, right?”

Su Mo patted Sun Quan on the shoulder, smiled, and followed the line into the room.

Zizai Liang Lane was recruiting fifteen people. Besides the three earlier, there were still twelve spots left.

Yet only six people had gone in now, so in all likelihood everyone would have a chance of being selected.

“Next, we will still use individual interviews to pick the hires.”

“Friends whose names have not been called, please wait here for a moment.”

Seeing that everyone had sat down in the room, Zhang Min smiled sweetly, slowly brushed her hair to the other side of her cheek, and revealed the lovely curve of her jawline.

With that one move alone, a middle-aged man among the six immediately started breathing hard, and his face flushed red.
