Chapter 120 December 20th, Monday

Last week, Tenda's administrative department was fully preparing for the annual meeting, and the research and development work of other departments continued as well.

So Pei Qian didn't have much to do, slacked off a bit, and the time passed.

The 20th of each month was reserved for Ming Yun Private Kitchen's dinner, but today was a bit special.

Because the annual meeting was also scheduled for today, Pei Qian transferred all the chefs from Ming Yun Private Kitchen and Lazy Delivery to the venue.

Tenda's annual meeting arrangements were slightly different from other companies.

Many other companies scheduled their annual meetings in the evening, only preparing to go to the venue in the afternoon, often dragging on until seven or eight o'clock or even later, seriously occupying employees' rest time.

In Pei Qian's view, this was obviously unacceptable.

Therefore, Tenda's annual meeting arrangement was that each department would work normally in the morning, hold the annual meeting in the afternoon, and strive to finish before work ended, so as not to delay everyone's evening rest time.

At this time, Wu Bin was sitting at his workstation, feeling a bit idle.

He didn't know what to do!

Looking around...

Why was everyone working so hard?

If it were at Hengtu Games, most people would have started slacking off and goofing around until the annual meeting was about to begin.

After all, in that environment, it was difficult to concentrate on work.

However, at Tenda, it was completely different.

Everyone was doing what they should be doing, and they were working even harder than before!

Wu Bin felt a little puzzled.

The annual meeting was supposed to be today, shouldn't you all be looking forward to the evening's festivities? Shouldn't you be unwilling to work?

Why was everyone frantically tapping on their keyboards, busy as hell?

Were they pretending?

No, because Wu Bin secretly watched the guy next to him and found that he was indeed working, not chatting or browsing the web or anything like that.

Wu Bin asked in a low voice, "Why does it feel like everyone is busier as the annual meeting approaches?"

The guy next to him took a sip of coffee and said, "Isn't this normal?"

"The afternoon's working time is squeezed by the annual meeting, so we can only improve efficiency in the morning and hurry up to finish today's work."

"Anyway, it's all these tasks, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest. If we delay it... it's not easy to get overtime quota!"

Wu Bin: "..."

What the hell, overtime quota is not easy to get!

This was the first time he'd heard that even overtime was not free, and had to be limited.

Thinking about it this way, it was no wonder everyone was working frantically as if they had been injected with chicken blood, because the workload was fixed.

Other companies liked to force overtime, making employees complete these tasks within ten hours, and if employees finished early, new tasks would be assigned.

In that case, everyone would definitely work slowly, and completing the work at the last moment was the optimal solution.

But Tenda was very magical, it was the same amount of work, but they tried every means to shorten the employees' working hours...

Usually, it was an unshakeable eight-hour work system. You want to work an extra hour? Sorry, whether it's approved depends on President Pei's mood.

Moreover, the workload was fixed, and even if you finished the work early, there would be no new tasks.

Therefore, many people have become accustomed to this efficient way of working.

On the one hand, you can rest and play freely if you finish work early; on the other hand, if you delay it, it will be difficult to get overtime quota later, and you may not be able to complete the task.

And today, everyone had to complete all the work in the morning, because the afternoon's annual meeting occupied everyone's working time.

How could the efficiency not be fast!

Wu Bin couldn't help but sigh, Tenda was really an evil company...

Why did everything go against the grain compared to other companies?

It seemed that this company must have special techniques to inspire employees' work enthusiasm.

In that case...

If he wanted to better integrate into this company, he must also have this efficient and enthusiastic work attitude!

Wu Bin quickly kept this in mind.

Because this morning, he would be taking his first Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test.

This was the first time, and if he passed, he could directly become a full-time employee of Tenda.

If he didn't pass, he would have three more chances.

Wu Bin knew that the more unique a company was, the more elusive its spirit was.

Therefore, Wu Bin had no idea what these questions would be like.

Soon, the time arrived.

At 11 o'clock, Wu Bin came to the large conference room.

It was filled with laptops, and the "Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test" program was already open on the computers.

This test program could not be switched or exited, and had to be completed and submitted in its entirety.

Moreover, there were administrative department colleagues on site to supervise, so you couldn't whisper to each other or use your mobile phone to communicate.

Wu Bin looked around and found that about twenty people were participating in the test this time.

This was obviously not the number of all the new employees who had joined Tenda in the previous batch, because some new employees were still going through the resignation procedures and had not yet joined the company.

The twenty or so people present were like Wu Bin, having just been hired and going through the formalities to join the company, so they just caught up with this batch.

Wu Bin found that the overall atmosphere in the conference room was relatively relaxed. Although there wasn't any laughter, no one was frowning or acting like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Obviously, everyone thought that this test was similar to the psychological health test in university and the physical examination for public officials, which would only screen out a very small number of people.

Most people should be able to pass as long as they answer the questions normally, it was just a formality.

Soon, everyone took their seats and began to answer the questions.

Wu Bin took a deep breath, picked up the mouse, and looked at the first question.

"It's already off work time, and you still have a task that hasn't been completed. At this time, you should:"

Wu Bin quickly scanned the options and frowned slightly.

"Is it that simple?"

"Of course you need to work overtime if the work is not completed, surely no one would choose 'talk about it tomorrow', right?"

"Damn, there's even an option to 'reason with your superior'? If you choose this option, will you be fired on the spot?"

Wu Bin felt a little inexplicable, and even a little amused.

The difference between this question and what he had imagined was too great.

Wu Bin originally thought that these test questions must be very complex, difficult, and demanding choices, such as the tangled question of "who should you save first if your wife and mother fall into the water?"

But now it seemed very simple!

It really was just a formality.

With this kind of question, as long as the new recruits had a little emotional intelligence, they certainly couldn't answer it wrong, right?

Wu Bin quickly chose the "work overtime to complete" option.

But just as he was about to submit the answer, he felt something was wrong again.

Was it really that simple? Was there a need for a test?

Thinking back to his previous experiences...

Most of Tenda's employees were very efficient, so the situation of not being able to complete work should not occur at all.

If this situation occurred, it meant that his work efficiency was too slow. At this time...

Should he still work overtime to complete it?

Wu Bin thought about it more deeply, but found that the answer seemed to be still the same...

"... Maybe I'm overthinking it."

"This is only the first question, there's no need to be so entangled, let's continue to look at the questions below."

Wu Bin's answering speed was getting faster and faster.

He also wanted to think deeply, but there really wasn't anything to think deeply about...

No matter how he thought about it, the answers to these questions were very clear!

As he answered, Wu Bin suddenly frowned.

"Huh? Wasn't this question already answered?"

"Is the question bank too small, and the questions are repeated?"

Wu Bin carefully observed and found that this question was very similar to a previous question, and was also about overtime, but this time it added a modifier: a task assigned by President Pei.

"Hmm? It shouldn't be a repeat question."

"Then this question should have some differences from the previous question, right?"

"A task assigned by President Pei, should you work overtime to complete it?"

"Hmm... this question should be a little different from the previous question."

"President Pei is someone who repeatedly emphasizes not working overtime, since it's something he might know, then you definitely can't work overtime."

"So, this question should choose not to work overtime."

"In short, if the work is not completed, it means that your work efficiency is too low, so you should naturally work overtime to complete it. But you can only complete it secretly, if President Pei knows, then you can't work overtime."

"Hmm, that should be it."

Wu Bin was not very sure, but considering that there were so many questions, it shouldn't matter even if he answered this question wrong, so he quickly moved on.

Soon, all the questions were answered.

Wu Bin originally thought that he would only know the answers after a while, but he found a button on the answer completion interface: View Test Results.

Wu Bin was stunned: "The results are out directly on the spot?"

He suddenly panicked a little.

But on second thought, what was there to panic about? These questions were just a formality anyway.

Even if he answered one or two questions wrong, it shouldn't matter, right?

However, just as he was about to press the mouse button, he heard a scream from the guy opposite him.

"Damn?!"

Wu Bin looked up and saw that the guy was staring at the computer screen with an incredulous expression.

Soon, these surprised voices began to rise and fall.

Because the questions were very simple and easy to understand, answering them didn't take too long, and everyone finished at about the same time.

Soon, this surprise began to spread. Many people didn't exclaim in surprise, but the surprised and astonished expressions on their faces said it all.

Wu Bin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Weren't these some very simple questions? How come so many people seemed to have not passed?

He quickly moved the mouse and clicked the "View Test Results" button.

However, a line of text appeared on the screen: "We regret to inform you that you have failed the Tenda Spirit Compatibility Test. Please try again!"

Wu Bin: "???"

He was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the result would be like this.

Weren't the questions very simple? How could he have answered them wrong?

Moreover, it was obvious that he hadn't just answered one or two questions wrong, but many questions wrong!

Wu Bin felt confused. He carefully recalled the questions, but felt that he had answered each question correctly. How could he be wrong?

He turned his head to look around and found that everyone had different reactions, but their faces were full of surprise.

"Wow, I actually passed!"

"How could I not have passed? What's going on?"

"I'm so sad!"

Most people's faces were confused and dazed, and only a few were pleasantly surprised.

But whether they passed or failed, everyone was completely bewildered by the questions.

Wu Bin wanted to ask those who passed how they passed, but the proctors were already chasing people out.

"Please leave the venue immediately after answering the questions, and do not discuss the questions. It doesn't matter if you didn't pass this time, everyone has three more chances."

"Please better understand the Tenda spirit in the coming time, and I hope everyone can successfully pass the next test!"

Wu Bin returned to his workstation in a daze.

"How was it, did you pass?" The guy next to him asked while typing on the keyboard, busy with his work.

Wu Bin shook his head blankly: "No."

An obvious question mark popped up on the head of the guy next to him, but he still comforted him: "It's okay, it seems that you haven't been here long enough and you don't understand the Tenda spirit enough. Keep up the good work, there will be opportunities in the future."

Wu Bin: "... So, what exactly is the Tenda spirit?"

The guy next to him was silent for a long time: "You've really stumped me. I don't know either..."

Wu Bin: "..."

It seemed that this test was not as simple as he had imagined...
