"Are you proficient with computers?" Yan Qing asked Qin Shu again, this time with more confidence. "The position requires a high level of computer proficiency!"
After being humiliated by Qin Shu, Yan Qing harbored a grudge and intended to make things difficult for him. He didn’t plan on giving him the job, even if it only paid 800 yuan.
"Proficient? How about I code something on the spot?"
"Hmph, still boasting! Our company can't tolerate employees who are all flash and no substance, spouting nonsense!" Yan Qing was eager to get rid of Qin Shu and immediately concluded, "Please seek opportunities elsewhere!"
Qin Shu smiled slightly, looking him in the eye. "You haven’t even given me a chance to try. How do you know I'm all flash and no substance, spouting nonsense?"
"I don’t need to see. It's obvious at a glance!"
"Oh, really? Then I can tell at a glance that you're impotent!"
Yan Qing's face instantly turned bright red. "You're lying!"
"I'm not lying. I can tell just by looking. Not only are you impotent, but you also suffer from premature ejaculation. Even ten Viagra pills wouldn't help you!"
The nearby colleagues were all quietly laughing, and Yan Qing’s face turned even redder. He slammed the table and stood up abruptly. "I am not!"
"I can tell just by looking. It doesn't matter if you say you aren't!"
"What kind of logic is that?"
"Ask yourself. Didn’t you just say you could tell at a glance that I'm all flash and no substance? What kind of logic is that?"
Yan Qing was at a loss for words and gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll give you a chance!" He turned his laptop toward Qin Shu. "Now design a file retrieval program on my computer!"
From a distance, Shu Lu couldn't hold back anymore and softly said, "Manager Yan, that position doesn’t require programming skills!"
"If I say it does, then it does! I'm the HR manager!" Yan Qing was truly angry, practically gnashing his teeth. "If he can do it, I'll approve him immediately. But if he can’t, he’s never to apply at HAZ Investments again!"
"Are you sure?" Qin Shu smiled. "It seems like there are several more rounds of interviews afterward. Are you certain one interview will be enough?"
"Yes, if you can create this program, the remaining interviews will be waived!"
"That sounds good!" Qin Shu smiled. "It seems Manager Yan doesn't like trouble. Neither do I!" His expression was calm, almost indifferent, but inside, he was full of disdain. Programming was something he excelled at in high school. He and his friends once hacked into their elite school's website, turning it into a Dragon Ball marathon for an entire week, much to the excitement of the male students, who frequently broke into fights while shouting "Kamehameha" everywhere.
Qin Shu glanced at the computer screen, his eyes flashing with a crafty smile, and his fingers began typing rapidly.
After a while, he couldn't help but laugh. "Manager Yan, you sure have a lot of hidden files on your computer, and many of them are encrypted. But since we're indexing files, they all have to be listed. Wow, there's a whopping 40GB of data. You should really take care of your health!"
Yan Qing's face turned extremely pale, filled with embarrassment.
The colleagues around them started whispering, "What kind of files are those?"
"Do you even need to ask? It's obviously adult movies. Who would’ve thought Manager Yan was into that stuff too!"
Shu Lu also heard the words "adult movies," and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She didn't understand what it meant, nor why the men around her were so excited about it.
Qin Shu continued typing, speaking as he did. "Manager Yan watches for three hours a day, and during work hours too. That’s not good. It really affects your work. Isn't the company full of female colleagues? Just use your imagination!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yan Qing was like a cat on hot bricks. He hadn’t expected to run into a real expert who could even find out when he watched those videos.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. It's all backed by solid evidence!"
"Are you done yet? How hard is it to write a program?"
"Oh, it's already done!" Qin Shu gave a final tap on the keyboard and swiftly turned the laptop back to Yan Qing.
Yan Qing hurriedly checked the screen. Thankfully, aside from an additional program on the desktop, nothing else seemed to have changed. He opened the program, which was a very detailed index, listing all the files thoroughly—there was nothing to fault.
With so many colleagues watching, he couldn’t go back on his word. Gritting his teeth, Yan Qing said, "It's passable. You barely made it." He slammed the laptop shut.
"Don't!" Qin Shu pretended to panic. "Sorry, I included an extra program. When you close the laptop, those hidden files of yours will start playing automatically. But you just closed it!"
