1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 198 Exam Questions
Ten minutes later, Tang Tingting left with a vague feeling of regret.

Just as Yang Mo was lying on the hospital bed, thinking about something, Bai Mengmeng, who had disappeared somewhere before, came in again.

Seeing her sneaky look, Yang Mo glared at her unhappily: "Where did you go just now?"

Bai Mengmeng blinked his eyes and said, "I'm going to keep watch for you, Master. I'll be guarding the serial port of Yard 7. No matter who comes to disturb you, Master, I can help stop them... At the very least, I can buy you some time."

The inpatient area of ​​the staff hospital is composed of several rows of squares in a "丰"-shaped structure. Each row has only one relatively narrow serial port for passage, so that side is indeed the best watch point.

"Keep, keep watch!?" Yang Mo's forehead darkened when he heard these two indecent words.

Bai Mengmeng said as if it was a matter of course: "Yes, that girl was dressed so beautifully just now, I knew at a glance that she was interested in your master, so she must give you enough space to be alone!"

As she spoke, the girl winked and made a face with a certain smugness: "What do you think, Master? I am quite perceptive, and I even took the initiative to help my master keep watch... In this area of ​​Qilu these days, where else can you find a second disciple as clever as me!"

Yang Mo: “…”

Seeing Yang Mo staring at him speechlessly, Bai Mengmeng looked at him strangely: "But speaking of which, Master, you guys finished so quickly, are you not used to this kind of place... or are you worried about me keeping watch outside for you?"

As he spoke, Bai Mengmeng patted his chest with a look of grievance: "Master, don't worry. When I was in Guizhou, I often kept watch for the young sisters in the village. I dare not say anything else, but no matter who comes, it will be no problem to delay for half an hour... Next time, just take your time, there is no rush."

The veins on Yang Mo's forehead jumped: "Stay on the lookout...what do you think we'll do in the house?"

Bai Mengmeng looked at him strangely: "The girl's dress and the expression on her face just now showed that she was here to meet her lover. What else can a young man and a woman do when they stay together in a room... Allah, Master, you don't have to be shy. This is very common in our Guizhou area. Usually, if we see someone guarding outside a loft, we won't be so tactless as to disturb them.

Bai Mengmeng's expression became even more strange: "What does this have to do with hooliganism? In our area, young girls and boys in the Miao village always date before getting married. Many people date several times before getting married... As long as you and I are willing, does the law have anything to do with it?"

At this point, Bai Mengmeng seemed to have misunderstood something, and looked at Yang Mo with a smile: "I see, Master must be afraid that Master's wife will be angry if she finds out... Oh, don't be so nervous, Master, you are not married yet, and you haven't even officially confirmed your relationship with Master's wife, so it doesn't matter if you have sex with other women a few times!"

Yang Mo just felt a little dizzy. Although the relationship between men and women in the 1980s and 1990s was actually much more open than people later thought, and he also knew that boys and girls from ethnic minorities in the southwest were very passionate in this regard, but he felt uncomfortable listening to these words with a rather lewd tone coming from a girl who was just in her early twenties.

However, he was too lazy to argue with her about moral values, and he was also too lazy to tell her how serious the consequences would be to have an affair with a woman without making up your mind to get married in the land of Qi and Lu... In fact, it was useless to talk about it, as the customs and folkways of different regions were different. Besides, the girl was from the Miao ethnic group and grew up in Guizhou. She didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of thing at all.

In fact, at this time, the Dai ethnic group's Gan Ba ​​Festival, the Yi ethnic group's Costume Competition Festival, and the Miao ethnic group's Flower Dance Festival are all courtship festivals for young men and women of the ethnic group. The spectacular sight of a large group of people huddled in the haystacks on the hillside to fall in love is truly unique. If you dare to shout on the spot, you can definitely scare away countless mandarin ducks. As for the "guarding the attic" on weekdays, it is even more commonplace. You expect a little girl who grew up in that kind of environment to understand the seriousness of the three words "hooliganism"... Dream on!
"Master's wife? Comrade Xiaobai, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. Not to mention that I'm not your official master yet, even if I am... what kind of master's wife do you have now?" Yang Mo rolled his eyes and looked at this wild girl in his bones with a bad temper.

Bai Mengmeng looked at Yang Mo in disbelief, as if he was looking at a scumbag: "Master, don't you plan to be with Lu Yingying in the future? She has lived with you for so long, and you don't even plan to give her a name?"

At this point, Bai Mengmeng's face was filled with sorrow. "My mother once said that men can spend money before getting married, can have multiple girlfriends, and even try out marriages a few times. But men cannot be irresponsible, and they cannot be irresponsible. Master, you have lived with Sister Yingying for more than half a year. Even if it is a trial marriage, it is definitely a long time. If it happened in our place, after such a long trial marriage, if we don't give the other person a legitimate status in the end, the woman's family will chase her with a sickle and chop her!"

Yang Mo felt his blood pressure soar to 200. He didn't care about the inconvenience on his shoulder and gave this little girl who had no idea what was going on in her head all day a slap in the face: "What nonsense are you talking about! Lu Yingying and I are childhood friends. She is a contract worker now. Living in a train room is too painful, so I let her live with me. This has nothing to do with trial marriage or not!"

Bai Mengmeng squatted on the ground with a grin on his face, crying out in pain. He rubbed his head vigorously and shouted unconvincedly, "Ah, I get it, Master, you are fickle-minded and have fallen for Supervisor Mu. You want to date her, so you don't plan to date Sister Yingying anymore... But Master, I'm telling you the truth. Supervisor Mu is pretty, but she's really not suitable to be your Master's wife!"

Yang Mo's temples bulged violently. If the girl in front of him wasn't a little girl, he would have wanted to kick her.

Even if your thoughts jump around a lot, there should be a limit. Jumping from the Mariana Trench to the moon in one go, are you in the late stage of chuunibyou?
Just when Yang Mo'an couldn't resist the urge to hit this guy on the head again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of joy in Bai Mengmeng's eyes and immediately withdrew his right hand.

After a moment's hesitation, Yang Mo suddenly looked at her with a half-smile: "Did Director Zhang teach you this trick of stabs and attacks?"

Bai Mengmeng was stunned and looked at him in confusion: "Master, what are you talking about? What did Uncle Zhang teach me? I don't understand."

Seeing this fellow's body suddenly straightened, Yang Mo sneered: "Comrade Xiaobai, let me teach you a lesson... If you want to become my apprentice, the first thing you need to do is to learn to be honest... It's not that I have a moral obsession, but a rookie like you who knows nothing wants to pretend to be an old fox. Not only are you full of flaws, but you will only look stupid... Unfortunately, I can tolerate stupid people, but I will never tolerate my apprentice being a stupid person!"

When Bai Mengmeng heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he kept his lips tightly closed, as if hesitating about how to answer.

Yang Mo snorted, "If we use normal standards, Comrade Xiaobai, although you are not stupid, you are still a long way from what I want in my disciples... You know this, and Director Zhang knows it too."

"But you have a special identity. Director Zhang really wants you to be my apprentice... But the problem is, even if I can make appropriate compromises, some of your conditions are still far from the minimum threshold after my compromise. Even if you work hard to improve yourself in the next month and a half, you may not be able to pass my minimum standard assessment;"

"Director Zhang is very clear about this, but he is even more aware that I can't lower the standards any further."

“Since the threshold is there, what should we do?”

"It's very simple. You can make up for it elsewhere... Just like the final exams in college, if you are not sure about your professional score, you can rely on your daily scores to make up for it. As long as you can please the teacher on a daily basis, it won't be difficult to help you fill in that crucial one point on the test paper with a score of 59."

As he spoke, Yang Mo glanced at the girl sarcastically: "So, this is why you are being so attentive today and acting crazy and stupid."

"It's right to be attentive. As a disciple, if you want to learn something real from your master, it's reasonable for you to try your best to leave a good impression... Although I don't agree with this, I don't object to it either;"

"But you were like a chuunibyou, talking nonsense about trivial matters between men and women in front of me in a playful manner, and even deliberately offended me a little... I bet that this kind of method is definitely not something a girl of your age can think of!"

Bai Mengmeng looked aggrieved: "Master, I just said a few nonsense words, do you have to think so complicated?"

Yang Mo chuckled, "What nonsense? Comrade Xiaobai, I am very disappointed in you now, very disappointed... It's okay that you can't control your expression, but if you still don't know how powerful your Uncle Zhang is, I can only say... you can't carve a rotten tree!"

As he said that, Yang Mo glanced at her and said, "I still say that. I don't care if my apprentice will use some tricks in front of me, but I can't accept that my apprentice is a fool!"

After understanding Yang Mo's implication, Bai Mengmeng was somewhat stunned. After a moment of silence, he said dejectedly, "As Uncle Zhang said, Master, you are a strange person... Other masters care most about whether their disciples are filial to them and loyal to them. As long as they are loyal and have good character, it doesn't matter if they are a little stupid. But in your case, the most important thing is whether your disciples are smart enough, and it doesn't even matter if they have other little thoughts."

This statement admitted that the action just now was done under the guidance of a fat guy.

However, even though he admitted it, Bai Mengmeng was still a little confused: "Master, although I added the incident about this girl this morning, Uncle Zhang's original intention was for me to make fun of you and Sister Yingying, and then to make people crazy as much as possible... But I think this trick is nonsense no matter how I look at it. How come in your mouth, this trick that Uncle Zhang asked me to play has become a powerful means?"

Looking at Bai Mengmeng who was a little frustrated, Yang Mo smiled and said, "Because breaking the ice is the foundation of interpersonal relationships and the most important part; and as far as the current situation is concerned, today's full of second-rate jokes are probably the most suitable and effective way for you to break the ice."

Bai Mengmeng's expression was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head honestly: "Master, I don't quite understand." Yang Mo glanced at her: "It's very simple. First, I am evaluating you from the perspective of a prospective master, not from the perspective of an ordinary leader or Party A."

"Master, Master, you are both a teacher and a father. You are a person who is both public and private, and the private aspect is obviously greater than the public aspect... No matter who you are, if you put yourself in the role of a prospective master, it is impossible to look at your prospective apprentice from a completely rational perspective, and even I am no exception;"

"Secondly, to be fair, you are a very pretty and lovely girl, which is a big plus for you."

"More importantly, you have a kind of wildness and aura that is unique to the ethnic minorities in the southwest. Some words may sound strange when spoken by others, but when spoken by you, although they are somewhat unorthodox, they are easy to take for granted. "

"An extremely important point in breaking the ice is to leave a deep impression on the other party in a short period of time without causing rejection or disgust on the other party. Obviously, you have an innate advantage in many topics;"

"Third, for any man, the topics that are most likely to cause NDA agitation in the body are nothing more than the four words wine, sex, money and anger."

"Your Uncle Zhang knows very well that I am not interested in the topics of wine, money, and anger... Or rather, I am interested, but you can't find the right angle to get in and arouse my resonance and desire to discuss further;"

"So at the beginning, using the topic of men and women as a breakthrough point is undoubtedly the best choice to break the ice with me."

"Although I don't want to admit it, objectively speaking, if a little girl brings up this topic, men will be more willing to discuss and debate, and they will also be more tolerant. Moreover, once the debate and discussion on this topic reaches a certain level, the relationship between the two parties will unconsciously become much closer, and breaking the ice will become a matter of course... After all, this thing has a strong private attribute."

"Just like chatting in a bathhouse is much easier to improve relationships than chatting over a table, chatting about topics about men and women under the premise of controlling the degree will also make it easier for the relationship between the two parties to unconsciously take a step forward. And if they can have a small quarrel harmlessly due to some misunderstandings, the relationship will progress even faster... There is no other reason, there are fewer obstacles to disguise."

"As for why your Uncle Zhang asked you to use Lv Yingying as a breakthrough point to talk to me about this topic... It's simple, because your Uncle Zhang knows me better than you do... So it was stupid of you to bring Director Mu into this later... If I'm not mistaken, your Uncle Zhang never mentioned Director Mu in front of you, and he might even have emphasized that you must not mention her... The reason behind this is definitely not just because Director Mu's identity and background are not ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng lowered her head in frustration... Yang Mo's guess was correct. Zhang Wenshun did emphasize that Manager Mu should not be brought into this topic. She was just so excited before that she forgot everything else, but Yang Mo saw through her mistake.

Yang Mo glanced at her expressionlessly and continued, "Fourth, besides being very cute, you are also very young... In our eyes, twenty years old is just the right age... In other words, people who have reached a certain age in their hearts will always subconsciously regard a girl of your age as a child."

"So, you took the initiative to help me keep watch regardless of time and place. If it was someone else, I might get angry, or at least think he was a lackey and look down on him... But when a girl of your age from the Southwest Miao ethnic group does this, most people will just think you are eccentric and a little naughty;"

"Similarly, if the following somewhat shocking words about men and women were said by another woman, even a southwestern woman who is two or three years older than you, I would find them offensive... But when you say those words, I think most men will just think that you are a pretty girl who is rebellious but also innocent and cute."

At this point, Yang Mo slowly took out another cigarette and lit it. "In short, everything your Uncle Zhang instructed you to do was to help you break the ice quickly, and then use your appearance, ethnicity, and age advantages to create an impression of you in my mind as a daughter with a middle school syndrome... Although this method seems ridiculous at first glance, it is actually very effective when used by you."

As he spoke, Yang Mo smiled maliciously: "Comrade Xiaobai, I guess you used to be unreasonable to your father in this way when you were at home... Haha, I have to say that Director Zhang is really good at this. Any man who is older in mentality would find it difficult to refuse such a slightly unruly, but straightforward and lovely girl around him."

Bai Mengmeng looked at Yang Mo with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

She had never thought that this move taught by her Uncle Zhang was actually tailor-made for her, and there were so many details involved;
But she didn't expect that Yang Mo could see through the trick at a glance.

Even though she had long known that her new master was not simple at all, she was once again certain at this moment... this guy was definitely a thousand-year-old fox in human skin!
………………

After absentmindedly listening to Comrade Bai Mengmeng's sincere apology, Yang Mo waved his hands absentmindedly. After pondering for a while, he said, "I talked to your Uncle Zhang last night. Although I can't further lower the minimum standard for accepting apprentices, for some reasons and considerations, I will provide you with some appropriate extra tutoring during this period."

"That is to say, even if you have used up your three chances to ask questions, I can still teach or guide you according to the situation. If you still cannot meet my standards for accepting me as a disciple under such circumstances... then it's a pity, and you really can't blame anyone else."

Bai Mengmeng, who was originally dejected, suddenly became ecstatic after hearing this. After the previous teachings, no one could understand the weight of Yang Mo's words better than her. If she could learn more real things from this master, it would simply, simply...

Before anyone could finish their words, Yang Mo spoke up again: "Just like a book cannot be read without being borrowed, it is not so easy to get extra food from me... You have to pass my little test first."

Bai Mengmeng became a little nervous when he heard this: "Master, what kind of test is this?"

Yang Mo glanced at her calmly and said, "It's not that difficult actually. I'll ask you some random questions and you can answer them according to your own ideas."

Bai Mengmeng's face suddenly turned bitter when she heard this. If this kind of test was given by someone else, she would just think that the other party was letting her off... Wouldn't it be simpler to just make up some answers according to her own ideas?
But if the examiner is Yang Mo, then this kind of test is simply life-threatening... This new master not only attaches great importance to logic, but also has a knowledge system that is so complex that it makes people's scalps numb; regardless of whether your answer is correct or not, as long as the other party randomly picks out an argument from the answer, but you can't justify the causal logic, or the logic is not rigorous enough, then the only thing waiting for you is the word "fail".

To put it simply, if the exam question is the same as "When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher", most people will only ask what this sentence means, but Yang Mo will definitely ask you thinking questions such as "Why must there be [my teacher]", "Why must three people walk together before there can be [someone who can be my teacher]", etc.

But she also knew during this period that it was not so easy to become Yang Mo's apprentice. Regardless of whether she had the ability to win the position of the other party's formal apprentice, even if she did, random tests like this would definitely happen all the time.

Therefore, based on the bachelor's mentality that if he sticks his head out, he will be stabbed, and if he keeps his head down, he will also be stabbed, even though Bai Mengmeng was nervous, he had no choice but to agree obediently without even the intention of bargaining.

Seeing that the girl acted so straightforwardly, Yang Mo nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, since you have no objection, then our first random quiz will begin."

Hearing that the exam was about to start, Bai Mengmeng's face turned pale, and then he nodded heavily with a sad face: "Master, you set the questions."

Seeing the look on his face that looked like a poor student about to enter the college entrance examination hall, Yang Mo's eyes twitched, but his tone remained calm: "Do you know why Miss Tang came to visit me so early this morning?"

Bai Mengmeng subconsciously wanted to say: Aren’t you planning to hook up with your rich husband? We are all women. Although I have never been in love, when I was in Guizhou, I saw many girls with expectant and springy looks on their faces. I can’t hide it from you.

But facing her master's first random test, she was not so eager to take it, so she could only shake her head honestly: "I don't know."

Yang Mo hummed, "They came here today to visit me, but more importantly, there might be some changes in the Momo Baizha supply chain. So, the question I want to ask is...if there is a problem with the Momo Baizha supply chain, which link will it go wrong at? And if you are the project leader, what measures would you use to eliminate the negative impact of these changes as much as possible."

! ! ! !
Even though he knew that the test questions given by his master were unlikely to be easy, Bai Mengmeng still did not expect that he would be given such a difficult question right from the start.

Brother, I'm just a rookie who just graduated from school. Do you have to make things so difficult for me?
What if I am the project leader?

I haven't even officially participated in a serious project. At most, I just acted as a bystander and a clerk...My dad and others have never encountered many projects of this scale, and you actually use this as a test question to ask me?

She wanted to complain, but seeing the indifferent expression on Yang Mo's face, Bai Mengmeng could only hold back her grievances, swallowed her bitter saliva, and then used her rusty little head at maximum power...
