Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Three Limits!_1

Lin Ke stood on the podium, looking around at everyone, and when her gaze passed over Bai Xiaosheng, she smiled.

Then, her eyes shifted to the faces of the others.

"I believe that some of you definitely had a restless night yesterday, wondering about the elimination list for today, am I right? Well, tonight, all of you can sleep soundly. Those who advance can rest easy for now, and those who are eliminated can finally stop worrying and exerting themselves, congratulations!" Lin Ke said cheerily.

The crowd managed to crack a smile, but their eyes were anxious as they awaited the "verdict."

Many, like Bai Xiaosheng, looked towards Yang Chengtian.

The text message notification had mentioned that the final stage examiner would also be present.

It must be this man!

Among those present, Zheng Qinghong’s eyes shone with a faint light, looking at Yang Chengtian with barely concealed eagerness!

He knew that this man had made his stance clear multiple times to his half-brother, Zheng Honghu!

One of our own!

Zheng Qinghong savored these three words in his mind, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

The examiner for the final stage was one of their own!

"However, even without Yang Chengtian’s help, with my ability, Zheng Qinghong, I am fully capable of suppressing everyone, especially that annoying Bai Xiaosheng!" Zheng Qinghong was confident in himself.

On the stage, Lin Ke began to speak.

"Now, I will announce the list of those eliminated!" Lin Ke’s expression was serious as she took out a sheet of paper, glanced at it, and read aloud, "Wang Shuangying, Hong Yuhao, Mu Lin, Zhang Qingyu, Chu Dalei!"

True to Lin Ke’s style, there was no hesitation, no pause, she read out five names in one breath.

As each name was called, there was always someone in the crowd whose expression dimmed.

However, afterwards, there was a sense of relief and liberation in their expressions.

Just as Lin Ke had said, their journey ending here had its "benefits" – they no longer had to worry and could finally get a good night’s sleep.

"The aforementioned individuals!" Lin Ke paused in her speech, then continued, "Please, follow me out!"

Afterwards, Lin Ke extended her hand to invite Yang Chengtian to introduce him to those advancing, "This is the final stage examiner, Affairs Officer Yang Chengtian! From here on, I leave it in his hands!"

Lin Ke finished speaking, picked up her things, stepped down from the podium in Yang Chengtian’s direction, nodded to him as a greeting, and then left silently for the door.

From the moment she entered to when she read the list and left, Lin Ke didn’t even use ten minutes.

Utter simplicity.

Her failure to stay and listen to Yang Chengtian’s speech may seem impolite, but it could also be interpreted as a decisive handover of duties. Plus, with her appearance like that of a cute, harmless young girl, even acting this way, no one would find it inappropriate.

The people who were announced as eliminated began to leave.

They had no reason to stay, nor did they wish to hear what Yang Chengtian had to say.

Yang Chengtian smiled as he watched Lin Ke go and bid farewell to these individuals, without any discomfort, making no attempt to stop them, and showing no desire to have them stay and listen to his speech.

After those individuals had left, Yang Chengtian took his time walking up to the podium, smiled at the people below, and gestured with a wave of his hand.

In the vast amphitheater classroom, there were only ten lonely people left below, their applause sparse and monotonous.

Yang Chengtian, however, did not mind in the least; his eyes were bright as torches.

Though there were only ten people below, within a month, one of them would become a Provincial Industrial Manager, and four would be Assistant Affairs Officers!

"I’m very happy to meet all of you!" Yang Chengtian surveyed the crowd, smiling and speaking in an unhurried voice, "My name is Yang Chengtian, and I am your final stage examiner!"

"To witness the birth of a Provincial Industrial Manager is a great honor for me!"

"In addition, to see four Assistant Affairs Officers emerge brings me great joy!"

"This time, I just wanted to meet with you all briefly and have a chat. After this meeting, you can all leave Zhongjing! Because the next stage of the assessment will take place at everyone’s own position!"

The previous sentences were all meaningless formalities, only the last one touched everyone’s heart.

Having stayed in Zhongjing for nearly two months, they could finally return home.

"Officer Yang, may I ask what the detailed rules of our next assessment are and how many rounds we will go through?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

This was the crucial point.

Everyone focused intently, looking towards Yang Chengtian, waiting for his answer.

Yang Chengtian glanced at that person and smiled, "Next, that’s exactly what I am going to discuss!"

"In this month, there’s only one thing you need to do, which will also be the final assessment!" Yang Chengtian said, his expression serious as his gaze swept over each person’s face.

Everyone listened with bated breath, not daring to miss a word, fearing it might affect their future.

"You will need to cooperate with other enterprises in the group. The number of cooperations and the results of these cooperations will determine your final scoring stage!" Yang Chengtian proclaimed.

The audience exchanged astonished glances.

So... simple?!

Knowing that each of them had the backing of significant figures, they could signal and easily gather a dozen or two fraternal units for cooperation within minutes.

"It absolutely won’t be that simple!" Bai Xiaosheng stared at Yang Chengtian on the stage.

Instinctively, he believed that the Affairs Officer still had some conditions that he hadn’t mentioned!

On the day that he took Lin Ke out for a meal, he also gathered quite a lot of information.

For example, no matter which Affairs Officer was responsible for the assessment, their questions had to be sent for approval to the President of the Greater China Region before being used!

This rule was actually a result of Feng Li’s first selection of questions leading to a comical mishap.

Alike Bai Xiaosheng in caution, there were three or four others.

Mu Beichen and Zheng Qinghong were notably among them!

Their happiness lasted only a moment before they understood there was no way it could be that simple!

The examiner wouldn’t allow them to compete over "common advantages" so openly—there must be a catch!

"Gentlemen, perhaps it’s best not to celebrate too soon."

Indeed, Yang Chengtian smiled and spoke again, "I have yet to mention the conditions."

Below the stage, everyone was startled and looked towards him once more.

Yang Chengtian continued, "The enterprises you are going to negotiate cooperation with must meet three stipulations—"

"Firstly, they must be group enterprises!"

"Secondly, the cooperation must be truly beneficial for both parties and withstand verification and scrutiny!"

"Thirdly, they must be ’extra-territorial’ enterprises!"

With these three demands, everyone below the stage was taken aback.

The first two points were understandable, but what was this ’extra-territorial’ all about?

"Don’t tell me Officer Yang is asking us to negotiate cooperation with extraterrestrials, also ’extra-territorial’?" someone chuckled involuntarily.

Everyone else couldn’t help but laugh as well.

"This ’extra-territorial’ doesn’t mean outside of Earth; it means outside of the region!"

Yang Chengtian explained with good humor and a smile, "To give an analogy. If your enterprise is in East China, then cooperation with other group enterprises in East China will be considered invalid!"
