Starry Sky, I can hear their secrets

Forget it. I have to go to Taibusi for an interview tomorrow, so I'd better go to bed early.

Su Jinyan shook his head, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.

Chapter 3 Interviewer Qingque, reporting here (K)

Early in the morning, at the Taibusi Library.

"Oh, I have a chance to relax for a while~"

The petite and cute girl in blue put down her book, stretched herself, and then hugged her special pillow for slacking off.

Now is the routine slacking time, and the girl plans to take a nap.

Qingque, a fortune teller and treasurer of Taibusi, has hobbies like slacking off and playing cards.

Because he repeatedly slacked off at work, he was about to be demoted to the position of "Leader of the Xiaoyao Sect".

Don't get me wrong, this leader is not that leader. In other words, in Qingque, the leader's main job is to guard the gate.

However, this was exactly what Qingque wanted. After all, the Taibu Division was busy with a lot of affairs, and it was not easy to find a job that was leisurely, stable, and allowed them to take time off.

However, Qingque had just fallen asleep for a short while when he was awakened by a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"Qingque, get up and work! I have important work to give you!"

Fu Xuan's pretty face was gloomy, and his cold voice was like a death note, making Qingque feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Qingque twisted his neck stiffly, scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Master Taibu, why are you here?"

Oh no, oh no. It’s only been a short time since I was caught slacking off by the Grand Astrologer. How come I was caught by her again after a few days?

Moreover, it seems like she is very angry this time?

Qingque was panicked, and a plan came to his mind as soon as his eyes turned.

"Master Taibu, please listen to my explanation. There is actually a reason why I am here--"

Fu Xuan puffed out his chest, crossed his arms in front of his chest, stared at Qingque's cheek with a dignified expression.

"Humph, no need to make those excuses."

"Listen carefully, I have received a recommendation from someone, and a new person will be joining the Taibu Division in a while."

"You are responsible for his interview. If anything goes wrong, I will settle the old and new accounts with you."

Qingque stroked his smooth little chin and fell into deep thought.

That's not right. I'm just a treasurer.

This entry-level assessment has always been done by other colleagues, and it is never their turn.

But Lord Taibu specifically asked me to interview him. Is there any hidden meaning behind this?

Fu Xuan snorted: "Hmph, don't misunderstand."

"I have never met that guy, and I have never suggested that you relax the entry requirements for him."

"The fortune teller who recommended me is the previous interviewer. To avoid suspicion, I ordered him to go on a business trip to Yaoqing."

"It's just that, Qingque, you have been a little lazy recently."

"The task I assign to you is not only a test for him, but also a test for you. Do you understand?"

In Fu Xuan's opinion, Qingque's talents and abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people.

The Taibusi has three fortune tellers, but none of them has as much potential as Qingque.

But Qingque is too lazy.

How could there be such a lazy person in the world?

In order to help Qingque grow up quickly, Fu Xuan had to spend more time on her and often find work for her to do.

Qingque picked up the plate of toffee dumplings on the table with a flattering look on his face.

"Master Taibu, please calm down, calm down..."

Fu Xuan opened his lips slightly, picked up a candy ball with his slender white jade fingers and put it into his mouth, and his frown finally relaxed.

"Qingque, it's rare for a new person to come to Taibusi."

"I have read his resume and he is quite capable."

"Don't show your bad habit of slacking off in front of new people, and don't teach them bad habits."

"If I find out that you intentionally corrupt the newcomers, you should understand the consequences, right?"

Qingque: “Uh…”

------

"Mr. Su Jinyan, I have read your resume."

Qingque carefully read the resume submitted by Su Jinyan and said softly:

"Given your excellent personal abilities, you are more in line with our Taipu Division's recruitment requirements in all aspects."

"And since this is an internal recommendation, you can start work this afternoon."

"But before you start working, I have some simple questions to assess you."

"The assessment is a full lie detector test. Do you accept it?"

Su Jinyan asked doubtfully, "Ms. Qingque, there are only two of us here now, do we still need to go through those useless procedures?"

Qingque chuckled and said, "You may say this thing is useless, but it is still useful."

"But if you say it's useful, it doesn't seem to be very useful."

"Because human hearts are the most difficult to understand."

"It changes over time, and none of us can guarantee that a person of good character will always have such character."

"But all we can do is..."

Su Jinyan thought thoughtfully: "It's better to take precautions before they happen, right?"

“When recruiting, unqualified personnel should be screened out.”

"As expected of Taibushi, he is really strict."

Fortunately, Miss Qingque, who was responsible for interviewing me, was also an insider of the Medicine King's secret teachings.

As long as Qingque is willing to help cover for me, I will definitely pass this assessment smoothly.

"Okay, in order not to delay the next work, let's make it quick and decisive."

Qingque pointed at the jade tablet on the desk and said, "Do you see this jade tablet?"

"This is our lie-detecting jade sign. It will sound a warning if it hears a lie."

"In order to test the accuracy of the jade omen, why don't you tell a few lies first?"

Su Jinyan said in a hoarse voice: "Mehahahahaha, I'm a little loli."

Qingque: "?"

beep—

The polygraph machine sounded a low alarm.

Qingque: “Pretty accurate.”

Su Jinyan said shyly: "Master Taibu is my wife."

Qingque: "?"

beep—

Su Jinyan said seriously: "I am the husband of Master Taibu."

Qingque: "?"

beep—

Qingque slammed the table and stood up: "What's the difference between the two?!"

Su Jinyan: "I'm just kidding. Actually, I don't know Master Taibu."

beep—

Su Jinyan shrugged: "Well, I know her, but she doesn't know me."

"A long, long time ago, I had the honor of meeting her in Changletian."

Qingque asked curiously: "What is your impression of her?"

Su Jinyan gave a thumbs up: "Cute, so cute that I want to be Taibu-sama's dog."

Qingque looked shocked: "Wow, what a bold statement."

"But sir, I have a question."

"How come your personality doesn't match your name at all?"

Su Jinyan clenched his fists, his blood boiling: "Speak directly and do what you say, this is my way of ninja!"

Qingque was speechless: "Okay... okay..."

"Next, our assessment officially begins. How old are you this year?"

Su Jinyan answered frankly: "18."

There was no movement on the polygraph.

Qingque glanced at him, very puzzled: "Hey, is Yuzhao broken?"

"Doesn't your resume say you're 20 years old?"

Su Jinyan coughed lightly and showed a pure boyish smile: "I didn't say age."

Qingque's pretty face turned slightly red, as if she understood something, and she glared at him imperceptibly.

"Ahem, let's skip this question. Skip it, skip it."

"Next question, are you from Xianzhou Luofu or an outsider?"

"Outsiders."

"When did you settle in Luofu?"

Su Jinyan was excited: "A year ago, I officially obtained the permanent residency of Luofu."

"Although I used to be a foreigner, I am now a genuine Luofu person."

"I love Xianzhou, I love Luofu. Luofu's food is delicious. Food from other planets is not delicious! Luofu is so beautiful!"

"Hey, guess what, we old Luofu people like this when we get up early. It's so authentic and delicious..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Be quiet for a while."

Qingque covered his head and felt a headache. Why did this guy suddenly go crazy while chatting?

"Sir, why did you come to the Immortal Boat Luofu?"

"I heard that there are many beautiful fox fairy ladies in Luofu. I want to find a fox fairy lady and have a lasting relationship with her."

"But until now, I haven't found someone to date."

"Well, do you want to have a beautiful encounter with the fox fairy lady? With your looks, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one." Qingque said.

"I'm sorry to hear your words. Maybe it's because my standards are higher."

"Yeah, it's not bad to lower the standards appropriately."

"Alas, it is not easy to date more than a dozen fox fairy ladies at the same time. Let's get a few more."

"It's unlikely you can find it with this idea!" Qingque gasped heavily.

This is not good. Why do I feel so tired chatting with this gentleman?

It seemed like all the energy she had accumulated for complaining over the years was going to be used up today.

Qingque took a sip of tea and prepared to calm down.

"You're drinking tea?"
