Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 496: This Is a Particularly Interesting Exam

The guess made Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitch a little.

She wasn’t afraid of these people’s revenge.

If a family truly had the ability, there would be many ways to arrange work for their child. They wouldn’t just send them to the Machinery Factory to do iron work.

Besides, those who love to label others are often the most selfish and cowardly.

They only dare to bully the weak and will always use others’ faults to challenge those with more authority.

Her father had been in a leadership position at the factory for many years, and he wasn’t scared of these people.

Even if she wasn’t afraid of the revenge of the thirty-four individuals, Su Xiaoxiao still felt deeply repulsed by Xiong Tianze’s actions.

No wonder her father couldn’t get along with the leadership at the Machinery Factory.

She hadn’t even spoken much, but already she felt disgusted with this person as if he were dog feces.

"Comrade Su, we were too extreme earlier, please don’t take it to heart. Forgive us this time," someone said, realizing that Su Xiaoxiao was the one in charge.

Other people quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, I’m still unmarried in my thirties because I don’t have a job. My parents have been worrying about me all night, and now they won’t even let me take the recruitment exam. Isn’t that pushing my whole family to their doom?"

"Everyone has to take responsibility for their actions. If you want to pick a fight and gamble, then whatever the outcome, you have to bear it," Su Xiaoxiao said coldly, not buying into their excuses.

In her previous life, she had died because she couldn’t stand up to moral manipulation. In this life, no one was going to pull that on her again.

As the others tried to say something more, Su Xiaoxiao turned to Xiong Tianze, "Factory Director Xiong, when can the exam start? We can’t just let them cause a ruckus like this."

Xiong Tianze looked embarrassed, his brow furrowing as he stared at the people still causing a commotion.

"Alright, stop causing trouble! There’s nothing to discuss here, leave the classroom now," he ordered.

"Factory Director Xiong, please, just give us one more chance!" someone begged, nearly in tears.

Xiong Tianze, clearly unwilling to make an enemy of Su Xiaoxiao, set his face sternly and said, "Leave now, or I’ll call the security department."

It was a recruitment exam for 500 positions, but over 800 people had shown up.

To prevent any issues, the security teams from both the Steel Mill and the Machinery Factory had been dispatched to help out.

Seeing that they had no more room to argue, the people reluctantly lowered their heads and left the classroom obediently.

Of course, some were still angry and cast spiteful glares at Su Xiaoxiao.

But Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care about their impotent fury.

"Alright, everyone sit down. Let’s begin the exam now," Xiong Tianze announced, trying to get things back on track.

The rest of the candidates finally returned their focus to the papers and passed them down.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the list of names on the desk. After taking a few seconds to memorize them, she began walking around the room, checking each individual’s name. Finally, she confirmed who the thirty-four people who had been kicked out were, then returned to the podium.

Xiong Tianze watched Su Xiaoxiao several times.

He had something to say but wasn’t sure how to bring it up.

Before, her father wasn’t easy to talk to, so they had planned to bypass Factory Director Su and speak directly to Su Xiaoxiao.

But after what had just happened, Xiong Tianze realized that this seemingly soft and gentle girl wasn’t someone easy to handle.

He thought to himself that he should look at her a bit longer and wait for Su Xiaoxiao to notice his gaze and approach him.

However, his stare was almost burning with enthusiasm, yet Su Xiaoxiao didn’t seem to notice at all.

Xiong Tianze was a little annoyed, thinking her father must have said something to her, which was why she was ignoring him.

But having finally summoned her, if she kept avoiding him without saying anything, he might not get another chance to talk to her again.

Taking a deep breath, Xiong Tianze smiled and asked, "Comrade Su, how did you come up with the idea of designing energy-saving stoves?"

Finally, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Su Xiaoxiao screamed internally but didn’t show it on her face. She answered casually, "I just thought regular charcoal stoves aren’t warm enough. I wanted something that could provide more warmth, and also be safer for heating or cooking."

"Well, you really do have talent! You haven’t worked with this before, but once you decided to make it, you managed to pull it off," Xiong Tianze said, complimenting her.

But Su Xiaoxiao didn’t respond, merely giving him a faint smile.

"Do you plan to research anything else in the future? You see, we’re hiring five hundred people, but the energy-saving stoves will eventually reach saturation. If we don’t have new products, the factory might not even be able to pay everyone’s wages," Xiong Tianze continued.

Su Xiaoxiao, without a second thought, shook her head, "I don’t have any other ideas for now. I’m not a researcher, and the energy-saving stove is something I came up with on a whim. Even professionals couldn’t produce something new this quickly."

"I heard from your father that you’re planning to go back to the countryside. Wouldn’t it be better to stay in the city and be with your parents?" Xiong Tianze tried to persuade her.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "My parents are still young. I’ll come back in a few years."

"You’re so talented and obviously suited for intellectual work. Going to the countryside to do manual labor would be a waste," Xiong Tianze said, not intending to be this blunt but feeling frustrated by her refusal to listen, just like her father.

"I’m strong too! Just now, three guys couldn’t beat me. If I go to the countryside to do farm work, I’m sure I’ll earn plenty of work points," Su Xiaoxiao replied, proudly.

Xiong Tianze was a bit stunned by her words.

If she were his daughter, he’d poke her in the head and say, "You really like farming?"

But that was something you could never say in this situation.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao, he thought she didn’t seem like someone who could actually work the land.

He thought for a moment and decided to change his approach.

Before he could speak, another person raised their hand, "Factory Director Xiong, my stomach hurts."

"Why the sudden stomach ache? If you go out now, you’ll have to submit your paper," Xiong Tianze frowned.

The exam covered not only high school-level knowledge but also production safety-related topics.

One purpose was to ensure they weren’t just slackers who didn’t even graduate from high school, and another was to assess whether they understood workplace safety.

Of course, the most important reason was that there were too many people applying for the job, and without a proper evaluation standard, no one would be satisfied.
