On the Ark.

Is this the foundation of a top student?

Lin Ye felt the gap again.

Just as he was about to speak, Guigu Xuehui spoke up again: "How about this, Mr. Interviewer, which university did you graduate from? I'll go study at your alma mater."

"Ahem... Let's skip this question for now." Lin Ye coughed twice, forcibly changing the subject. "Rhodes Island values ​​more than just diplomas."

Guigu Xuehui sat up straight, adopting a "say whatever you want" attitude.

Lin Ye could only continue to make things difficult for him.

No matter how demanding his conditions were, Guigu Xuehui always agreed calmly, making Lin Ye feel like he was punching cotton. After a while, he asked a question that sounded like he'd lost his mind: "Do you prefer sweet or salty food?"

Guigu Xuehui said, "I like them all."

Lin Ye remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"We at Rhodes Island do not welcome people who have no principles."

Guigu Xuehui did not speak, but simply gazed at Lin Ye with calm eyes.

After a long pause, Lin Ye gave a wry smile and raised his hands, saying, "You win."

The author's rant: My biological clock has been completely messed up lately. I go to bed at seven or eight in the morning and wake up at four or five in the afternoon. Today was the same. I went to bed early but couldn't fall asleep. I'm planning to stay up for another ten hours so my biological clock will return to normal.

The reason I'm adjusting my schedule is to resume double updates starting today, and then continue writing until the end. I won't be asking for votes anymore; please give your votes to other books, this one really doesn't deserve them. Don't bother with the comments section either; just accept the ridicule when I make mistakes.

By the way, I wish everyone a happy May Day, and a happy first anniversary to Arknights (I downloaded the game again a few hours ago and maxed out the previous operators, just waiting for the afternoon update).

Chapter 619 The New Interviewee

Lin Ye sat obediently in front of Guigu Xuehui.

One minute he was a stern interviewer, the next he was like a schoolchild who had done something wrong. It has to be said that this contrast was quite amusing, though Lin Ye himself didn't find it amusing. At this moment, he was filled with torment, thinking that he should never have agreed to let Zilan come and help.

He was about to become a doctor, someone second only to the island's leader and above many others, so why was he doing such basic work as an interview? It was beneath him. But there was no going back, and there was no going back. So, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only sit obediently in front of Guigu Xuehui and await his fate.

Guigu Xuehui stared at Lin Ye, her feelings somewhat complicated.

She never expected to meet Lin Ye under these circumstances. Although she had been searching for Lin Ye for the past six months, she had never considered what to say to him after finally finding him. So when Lin Ye tried to cover up his identity by making excuses, she was able to respond calmly and counter his moves. But when Lin Ye conceded defeat, she was at a loss for words.

Thus, the two sides fell into a strange period of silence.

Finally, Lin Ye spoke first: "Um... Miss Guigu Xuehui. Although I did something really stupid to you, my intentions were good, and I definitely didn't do anything strange to you. Please believe me."

"What do you mean by 'strange things'?" Guigu Xuehui said coldly. "If you have a clear conscience, why won't you tell me what you've done?"

Guigu Xuehui's words gave Lin Ye a real headache, because he had absolutely no idea how to explain it to her.

Was he supposed to tell Guigu Xuehui, "Actually, I have the ability to enter dreams. After entering your dream, I discovered that you were actually the last cat I raised in my past life"? Regardless of what Guigu Xuehui thought, Lin Ye felt that this was being a rogue, and a ridiculously absurd one at that.

Fortunately, Lin Ye knew that Guigu Xuehui had no memories of her past life. If she did, she would have recognized him long ago. She had completely moved on from the shadow of her "cat life" in her previous existence, and Lin Ye saw no need to drag her back. The reason Guigu Xuehui was still looking for Lin Ye was probably more to find out how he had cured her illness.

So Lin Ye decided to start from this angle and asked directly, "Your illness is cured, isn't it?"

Guigu Xuehui remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Isn't that all?" Lin Ye said. "That night I was treating you and healed you, it's that simple."

How did you treat me?

"That's hard to say," Lin Ye said mysteriously. "After all, as you know, I'm a psychologist. These days, psychologists aren't worth much; to make a living, you need some unique skills."

"For example, drugging someone?"

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "Of course not including this."

“Is that so?” said Yukie Onigu. “But you just said that psychologists are useless on Rhodes Island.”

Lin Ye couldn't help but rub his forehead, wondering why he had shot himself in the foot.

And I really have no way to reply to you when you talk like that.

In truth, Guigu Xuehui didn't want to say such things, because there was no point in contradicting Lin Ye, but if she didn't say anything, she didn't know what else to say. Compared to the uneasy Lin Ye, Guigu Xuehui wasn't much better off, her heart filled with complex emotions. She felt she had a very peculiar feeling towards Lin Ye, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what that feeling was.

Ultimately, this awkward scene was interrupted by Zilan pushing open the door and entering.

"Lin Ye, what are you doing?" Zi Lan said. "I've already interviewed several people, but there's been no response from you at all."

"Uh." Lin Ye stood up and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was interviewing the first person, and there was a small mishap."

"A minor accident?" Zilan turned to look at Guigu Xuehui, asking with some confusion, "What kind of accident?"

Guigu Xuehui calmly said, "This Dr. Lin asked me if I was willing to accept the base salary."

Lin Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Base salary?" Zilan was taken aback. "Why would it be a base salary?"

Just as Lin Ye was about to explain, Gui Gu Xuehui spoke up again: "Then Dr. Lin asked me if I was willing to pay for my own accommodation and meals."

Zilan was very surprised: "When did we start having to pay for our own accommodation and meals?"

Lin Ye's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Dr. Lin also asked me if I was willing to accept a 16-hour workday..."

Lin Ye finally couldn't hold back any longer. He strode forward and stood in front of Gui Gu Xuehui, laughing as he said, "This young lady is really joking. How could I possibly make such harsh conditions? Am I that kind of person? Of course not. Rhodes Island will definitely not let go of such an outstanding talent as you."

Guigu Xuehui said, "So, did I pass the interview?"

"Of course it passed, absolutely passed, there's no way it wouldn't have passed." Lin Ye reluctantly gave Guigu Xuehui a triple "I even wanted to tell you, welcome to Rhodes Island."

"Thank you," said Guigu Xuehui politely. "I would also like to join your company and offer you the currently unused position of psychologist."

Lin Ye: "..."

"In that case, I'll be leaving now." Guigu Xuehui glanced at Lin Ye. Against an opponent of Lin Ye's caliber, she didn't need to exert herself at all.

She didn't know what to say to Lin Ye, but since she had already found him, there was no need to rush. She should first enter Rhodes Island and then consider what to do next.

Therefore, Lin Ye had no choice but to send Guigu Xuehui away with a heavy heart and swallow the bitter pill of defeat alone.

Zilan, who was standing to the side, was still confused: "Do you know her?"

"I'd say we know each other." Lin Ye sighed.

"So you're trying to give her preferential treatment?"

"If I could, I'd rather close her door," Lin Ye said irritably, "and then seal it up with tape."

Zilan didn't quite understand Lin Ye either, so she shrugged and said, "Whatever. I just came to remind you to hurry up, there are still many people behind you."

Lin Ye reluctantly agreed. After seeing Zilan off, he calmed himself down a bit before welcoming the next interviewee.

A little girl named Wendy.

……

……

The author's BB: 190 pulls, Wendy 5 potential, W2 potential.

I originally just wanted to get one of Wendy and one of W, but Wendy came five times in a row before W finally appeared. It's just like when I tried to get Nian and Toki, so I'll write about Wendy instead.

Chapter 620 A Sudden Turn of Events

"How's your new life going?" Ansel asked, carrying a tray and sitting down opposite Lin Ye.

While eating his bread, Lin Ye looked at Ansel and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What new life?"

"This is my life now," Ansel said, pursing her lips. "Aren't you living alone now?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Lin Ye slowly swallowed the bread in his mouth and then said, "Nothing special, just sleeping in a different place."

“For you, it should be like you slept in two different places,” Ansel corrected. “You forgot to include your office.”

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "Do you think I was either sleeping in the dorm or the office before?"

Ansel countered, "Isn't that so?"

Lin Ye thought about it carefully for a moment, and then found that he couldn't refute it, but he still tried to argue: "I don't sleep every day, I do occasionally... no, most of the time I'm working hard."

Ansel responded to Lin Ye with a "hehe".

This made Lin Ye feel very awkward, so he immediately changed the subject: "So how are you? Is your new job busy? Have you changed roommates?"

Although he knew Lin Ye was changing the subject, Ansel still answered, but his tone still carried the familiar sarcasm: "Of course, do you think I'm like you? The medical department has a lot of work. I don't even have time to rest. I even spend my off-duty time in the dormitory training new people."

"It must have been really tough." Although he said it was tough, Lin Ye was secretly a little smug.

But who is Ansel? As Lin Ye's roommate for nearly two and a half years, how could he not see through Lin Ye's little scheme? So he glared at Lin Ye and said, "I already know."

"What do you know?"

Ansel snorted coldly: "Dr. Kal'tsit has already decided to let you take over the Doctor's position."

Lin Ye was somewhat surprised: "You knew that?"

“You always have to know,” Ansel said sarcastically. “So, I’m basically working for you now.”

If Ansel hadn't brought it up, Lin Ye really wouldn't have thought of it that way.

In that case, wouldn't he soon go from being Ansel's roommate to being Ansel's boss?

No, it should be that they went from being workers to becoming evil capitalists.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but push his unfinished coffee towards Ansel, and then said "sincerely," "You've really worked hard. This is a treat for you. If you don't mind..."

Lin Ye ultimately couldn't bring himself to say the second half of his sentence under Ansel's almost murderous gaze.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not working for you," Ansel said coldly. "I'm working for my own ideals, so don't flatter yourself."

Lin Ye nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "Understood, understood."

"I understand." After Ansel finished speaking, he picked up his plate and prepared to leave, but he stopped before he had taken a meter. He turned his back to Lin Ye and said, "Your succession to the position of Doctor was decided by Dr. Kal'tsit through a vote among a small group of staff, and I was fortunate enough to be selected for the vote."

Lin Ye was unaware of this, so he scratched his head and asked, "Is that so?"

“Hmm,” Ansel said calmly. “By the way, you got all the votes in favor.”
