Chapter 58: Chapter 55 Admission_1
The interviewing teacher accepted the tea Feng Yi handed over and smiled amiably.
“I was originally here to take care of so business at Yue Mountain when I received a call from the Nan Chong Conservation Area’s scientific survey team, asking
to co over and interview a volunteer for them.”
The interviewing teacher glanced at the decorations inside the room.
After receiving the information provided by the science team from the Nan Chong Conservation Area, upon seeing the applicant’s address, he understood that the applicant’s family must be quite well-off.
The Yue Xiu residential community has been quite prominent lately, he also knew so things about this community and had even heard that property prices there had been rising recently.
“Given your background, there’s really no need for you to participate in these kinds of field scientific investigations. The conditions in the wild are harsh and are nothing like the outdoor camping that young people enjoy during travels. There are also a lot of mosquitoes and snakes in the wild.”
Feng Yi nodded, “I know about the harsh conditions. After moving here, I’ve also slept outdoors on the grass, without a tent. I don’t attract mosquitoes.”
The interviewing teacher laughed and shook his head: “The mountains are full of poisonous insects, and one could accidentally step on a snake. Just last year, soone almost stepped on a sharp-nosed viper, also known as the ‘five-paced snake’.”
After a period of abnormal climate, in these 20 years, under the strictest protective laws and conservation asures, the number of wild animals in real wilderness environnts has recovered to a certain degree.
In Nan Chong Conservation Area, the number of snakes is higher compared to other conservation areas, sothing that he must clarify.
The young people nowadays can be impulsive and might find that reality does not match their expectations and decide to drop out halfway through, wasting resources.
Being able to own a house in the Yue Xiu community ans that family conditions are certainly good; they wouldn’t care about the small subsidy that volunteering for a scientific survey provides. They are either here entirely out of interest or for the 1000 points offered by Team South 6.
Seeing that Feng Yi had no experience with fieldwork, it was clear that he was the latter.
In cases like these, they had to present the facts and hopefully persuade him to back out.
“How much do you know about Team South 6 of the Nan Chong Conservation Area Comprehensive Scientific Survey Group?” the interviewing teacher asked.
“I know they are responsible for surveying amphibians and reptiles, and this ti their main focus is on snakes.”
Feng Yi had done his research before applying and was not completely unaware of the details.
“What do you think your strengths are?” the interviewing teacher asked again.
“I’m quite sensitive to snakes.”
“I’ve seen the reports about Qing the dragon. You have a real knack for catching snakes. How did you practice this skill?”
“Talent.”
“…Hmm, having such talent is great.”
The interviewing teacher chatted in a leisurely tone for half an hour, maintaining a relaxed atmosphere and ca to understand Feng Yi a bit better.
Feng Yi lacked professional expertise and fieldwork experience, and his academic and practical abilities were unknown. If he joined the team, he definitely wouldn’t be able to handle tasks like collecting samples or gathering data.
Though inexperienced, he had a rational approach to analyzing the fieldwork environnt and could catch a two-ter-long Qing without harm, and also managed to drag a three-ter-long European catfish out of the water by himself at night. His physical and psychological qualities should pass the test.
Fieldwork conditions are tough and require good physical strength, and in this regard, Feng Yi didn’t seem to have any significant issues.
Feng Yi had many shortcomings, which were quite apparent, but his advantages were equally clear. So talents are not possessed by everyone. No wonder the United Protection Bureau recomnded him.
His deeds might make people think he’s rash, but upon talking face-to-face, the interviewing teacher found that this young man was not impulsive, and his words were polite. He seed to be soone who wouldn’t cause trouble and likely had good execution capabilities.
After developing a comprehensive evaluation of Feng Yi in his mind, he compiled a more detailed assessnt and scored him in various aspects after the interview.
Of course, being recruited by Team South 6 is not a matter of having higher scores but rather being the right fit.
After half an hour of conversation, the interviewing teacher left, telling Feng Yi to wait for a response; Nan Chong would reply within three days.
Two days later, Feng Yi received a ssage informing him that he had been accepted by Team South 6 of the Nan Chong Conservation Area Comprehensive Scientific Survey Group, which included a retrieval code.
After Feng Yi logged onto the official website with the code, he downloaded a docunt detailing the eting ti, location, and other detailed arrangents for the scientific investigation work, as well as various precautions.
The compensation was also listed, but Feng Yi only cared about the 1000 points included therein.
At the end of the docunt was a rather complex barcode. After arriving at the eting place within the specified ti, he could report in, and collect materials using the barcode.
For important scientific endeavors like this, one cannot simply bring whatever they wish; many materials are distributed uniformly. Of course, the resources allocated differ from team to team.
With so ti left before registration, Feng Yi thought he should take this chance to finish up his current work. He contacted Lu Yue, aiming to appraise the remaining items before the deadline.
Otherwise, once he went to report to the Nan Chong Conservation Area, he would be there for one or two months, and Lu Yue would have trouble finding soone else in his absence. Once inside the conservation area, it’s not so easy to leave, unless one is seriously injured or bitten by a snake.
In any case, Feng Yi didn’t want to be carried out prematurely.
When Lu Yue heard that Feng Yi would be gone for a month or two, he promptly arranged for the appraisal of the remaining batch of items.
After the first batch of goods was appraised, Feng Yi found ti to go there two more tis. The quantity wasn’t as large as the first ti, nor was the appraisal as difficult.
With the remaining items urgently scheduled, Lu Yue contacted Feng Yi to co to the warehouse.
It was still the warehouse from the first batch, with more comprehensive facilities, making the appraisal easier. And, of course, the massage chair was still there.
Now with improved abilities, Feng Yi didn’t have to rest in the massage chair after appraising 2000 items like the first ti.
However, Lu Yue never ca to know about any of this.
Feng Yi still took breaks on the massage chair after appraising 2000 items each ti, looking very tired.
Thanks to the acting skills honed during his ti in web dramas!
Otherwise, it really wouldn’t be easy to fool these shrewd businessn!
After dealing with company matters, Lu Yue drove to the warehouse. Upon arrival, Feng Yi had just finished a round of appraisals and was resting on the massage chair. However, his mouth didn’t stop moving, quickly devouring the small snacks on the tray beside him, emptying half of it in just a few breaths.
Lu Yue always found it surprising to see this scene, realizing that using such a super olfactory ability to appraise leather consus so much energy!
Glancing at the number of appraised items handed to him by the warehouse manager, Lu Yue’s smile deepened, and he asked soone to bring over another plate of snacks.
Because it was necessary to appraise clothing, the snacks were without strong odors, and Lu Yue found them unappetizing to look at.
“Will you be able to finish appraising the rest of the goods in two hours?” Lu Yue asked, looking at his watch.
“More or less,” Feng Yi yawned.
He had been appraising since the morning, and though there had been breaks, none were lengthy. Besides, his mind was a bit fatigued from the overuse today.
“Oh, right!” Lu Yue suddenly rembered sothing, quickly stepped out, and returned shortly after, holding an invitation. “It was in the car.”
Handing over the invitation to Feng Yi, Lu Yue said, “In a little over two months, Qianli Group is holding an anniversary event. It’s not a major decade celebration, so it won’t be particularly grand, but it will be much more significant than other small companies’ events. A lot of celebrities will be there, and there’ll be a show. Don’t miss it!”
Feng Yi opened the invitation, glanced at the date and venue, “I’m not sure I can make it then.”
Lu Yue was puzzled, “An anniversary event like this from a major company like Qianli Group is perfect for networking! If it’s not sothing particularly important on your end, you should be able to take a couple of days to check it out.”
“If I have ti, I will for sure,” Feng Yi wasn’t sure how long the scientific expedition would take. The talk was of 1-2 months, but it wasn’t yet certain if it would exceed two months.
Now Lu Yue was curious, “Where exactly are you going that you’ll be away for so long? Is it that important?”
“An expedition,” said Feng Yi.
Lu Yue was baffled for a mont, then asked:
“The ‘Scientific Research’ kind of expedition?”
“Exactly,” replied Feng Yi.
Lu Yue: ???
Isn’t that a bit of a leap?!
Lu Yue stared at Feng Yi, his eyes wide as if he had opened a box expecting chicken eggs, only to find it filled with goose eggs!!!
Feeling Lu Yue’s weird gaze, and thinking he wasn’t believed, Feng Yi took out his phone and showed him the notice of acceptance to volunteer for the expedition.
“Volunteer for Nan Chong Conservation Area Comprehensive Expedition Team South 6?”
Lu Yue quickly scanned and caught several key terms, all of which were beyond his area of expertise.
After a mont of silence, Lu Yue gave Feng Yi a thumbs-up, “You’re amazing!”
If it’s participation in such an expedition, the timing would indeed be unpredictable.
“Let’s hope your expedition ends within two months,” Lu Yue said.
“Let’s hope so.”
Feng Yi was very interested in the anniversary event of the Qianli Group. He too hoped the expedition wouldn’t last too long and could wrap up smoothly within a month.
The timing of the Qianli Group’s anniversary event was also quite fitting. A little over two months from now, he should be able to control his feet from receiving information randomly.
If it were to happen now, just the thought of the music environnt in the fashion show venue made him think that even if he wore shock-absorbing insoles, he might still end up trembling.
Literally trembling.
He might even end up—
Like a ~
Cobra ~
Swaying swaying swaying swaying swaying swaying~~
…
Too beautiful to even contemplate.
Better to go on the expedition first.
