Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 96 Famous Companies Fight Over Offers, Do You Call This A Grim Employment Situation?

Hearing this, the reporter was slightly surprised, and she blurted out, "In that case, may I take the liberty to ask, as a fresh graduate, have you found a job you like?"

The reporter knew that such a question was inappropriate, so she could only smile apologetically in hopes that the interviewee would cooperate a little.

Wu Mo frowned slightly but still replied, "Not yet."

The reporter knew in her heart when she received an accurate answer. Then, she turned to the camera behind him. "It seems that the information we've received is highly accurate. This year's fresh graduates are indeed having a difficult time finding a job. I reckon that this will also have a considerable impact on Shanglin City's economic development..."

At that moment, the reporter's live broadcast was synchronized with Shanglin City's official media portal.

Many viewing the live broadcast expressed their views one after another.

"It seems that this year isn't easy. Even the blacksmiths have to worry about jobs."

"I've always felt that Shanglin City's development isn't stable. There are even fewer jobs now. Many companies are laying off employees."

"No matter how bad the blacksmiths are, they still lead a better life than us ordinary people. There's nothing to worry about."

"Sigh... it's not easy for everyone!"

Bullet comments flew past one after another. Everyone sighed, causing the atmosphere in the live chat to become a little gloomy.

At that moment, quite a number of students walked out of the auditorium in succession. The graduation assessment should have ended.

The surrounding reporters swarmed over, and official media outlets were also prepared to interview a few more people.

However, right then, they heard a rumbling sound.

Everyone looked back in surprise and saw a military-green SUV coming from afar, bringing up smoke and dust!

"Hey, there's actually a car. Has the military sent people over?"

"Wow, that car is so stylish. It's a pity it's too expensive. We can only afford to use a horse carriage!"

"I know, right? Nowadays, the price of a carriage starts at several hundred thousand yuan. Ordinary people like us can't even look at it!"

After everyone saw the carriage in the official media's live broadcast, they immediately cheered up.

Screech!

The off-road vehicle stopped by the side of the street a few meters away. Soon, a team of fully-armed cultivators came down!

That instant, countless people outside the auditorium's main door quieted down. They did not know what had happened to alarm the military!

The sounds attracted Wu Mo. He turned his head and saw a familiar face.

"Zhou Jinlong... Mr. Zhou!"

When he saw the person who had arrived, he was a little surprised. Jiang Mengyao, who was beside him, also opened her mouth slightly.

Before the gazes of several thousand people, Zhou Jinlong walked straight toward Wu Mo.

The surrounding reporters and other students were shocked.

"Mr. Zhou, you haven't left yet? Are you looking for me?"

Wu Mo seemed somewhat puzzled too.

At that moment, Zhou Jinlong had already approached Wu Mo.

He did not say anything else except ask a single question with a serious expression.

"Kid, are you interested in the National Artifact Research Department?"

Faced with Zhou Jinlong's sudden question, Wu Mo was slightly taken aback at first.

Then, he immediately realized that Zhou Jinlong was implying something.

"Of course. The National Artifact Research Department has a research hall of the highest scale. There are seven-star blacksmiths there, as well as numerous high-tech equipment."

As Wu Mo reached this point, he paused.

"If there's a chance, I would definitely be willing to go."

Zhou Jinlong stared into Wu Mo's eyes. When he saw the anticipation in the boy's eyes, a smile immediately appeared on his cold face.

Jiang Mengyao, who was standing at the side, had a surprised expression.

One should know that the conditions for admission to the National Artifact Research Department were extremely strict.

Wu Mo did not meet those high requirements. Why would Mr. Zhou ask such a question when he already knew?

Her doubts were the same as others, and she did not get an answer.

"Wu Mo, this is an engagement letter from our country's Artifact Research Department. We're hoping that you can join our establishment and work as an assistant researcher!" Zhou Jinlong said in a sonorous and powerful tone.

As he spoke, he even took out a fresh engagement letter. The national seal on it was not even dry yet!

Zhou Jinlong's words instantly shook the surrounding students and reporters. Everyone knew the weight of his words!

The National Artifact Research Department was the highest institution in the country.

The research that went on inside was related to national military secrets. It went without saying that it was an important lifeline of the country.

Forget the position of an assistant. It was not easy for even a potted plant to be in the Research Department, let alone a four-star blacksmith student!

Moreover, the National Artifact Research Department had never recruited any new graduates.

It was only possible if they were at least five-star blacksmiths and they had received various honors.

Usually, all kinds of professors would enter. The youngest would be at least 25 years old. How could it be possible for a fresh graduate to join them?

Everyone had an expression of disbelief.

Wu Mo was also a little surprised. He did have the intention of going to the Research Department, but he did not expect Mr. Zhou to personally present him with an offer letter!

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Jinlong noticed that Wu Mo seemed to be a little hesitant, and he immediately said, "I heard that Apple Light Weapons offered you a monthly salary of ¥100,000 and a resource subsidy of ¥50,000. I think you won't be interested in that."

Wu Mo nodded.

Then, Zhou Jinlong said, "I heard Mitsubishi's representative mention that after you join the company, they'll give you a BMW worth ¥500,000. You're probably not interested in that either, right?"

At that moment, the people around him began to wear strange expressions.

Wu Mo continued to nod. He really did not like cars.

"Meanwhile, Microsoft will give you a ¥3,000,000 villa and help you reduce your commute expenses. You're not falling for that, right?" Zhou Jinlong stared at Wu Mo and said with suspicion.

Wu Mo nodded again. "Yes, I'm not interested in any of that."

Everyone around Wu Mo could not hold back when they heard his response.

In the online live media broadcast page, the bullet comments instantly covered up the screen.

"This dad over here can't take it anymore. To reduce my commuting expenses, I had to get a new house. I've been working for 20 years, but I've never found such a good company."

"Why the f*ck is a BMW called a mere tool for transportation?! If that's considered a tool, then isn't my carriage trash?"

"Get out here, you dog reporter. So many big factories are fighting to give this graduate an offer. You call this a grim employment situation?!"

"According to the people's law, spreading rumors is punishable by 500 views. I've already called the mayor's hotline to report it. Brothers, am I doing the right thing? What a dog."

"The employment situation is 'too grim.' One second later, this freshman brother will be crushed to death by all the offers."

Everyone was so shocked that they had no choice but to express it. However, due to the presence of the military, the surrounding people on site could only hold everything in.

The people online, on the other hand, started to complain.
