Hong Kong movies: Do you love your sister-in-law or gold?

Chapter 18: Wan Chai Gunslinger's Reward! (Seeking votes at the end of the month)
At this time in Examination Room 37, Zhang Jiahui also became the team leader of six or seven candidates around him.

But unlike Liu Jianming, he relies on his fierce eyes and ruthlessness in his bones.

Those who apply to become police cadets are not all young people who have just graduated from Form 5. There are also university graduates and white-collar workers who want to change careers.

You can't bluff these social people, but they have experienced society and have a sensitive intuition about the truly ruthless people.

Superintendent Li Ying paid attention to Zhang Jiahui because he was the one who arranged for Zhang Jiahui to enter the police academy.

Three years ago, the police force conducted an experiment by establishing a juvenile police academy in addition to the police training school.

The Junior Police Academy recruits Form 5 graduates who are not academically successful but are determined to become police officers.

As the tough detective with the most complaints and demotions in the police force, Li Ying was sent to the Juvenile Police Academy as an instructor because of his illegal handling of cases.

Li Ying, who has a hot temper, treated the cadets in the juvenile police academy with almost torture-style training, but he discovered Zhang Jiahui, who was strong-willed, aggressive and ruthless.

Later, due to changes in the police leadership, the experimental program at the Junior Police Academy was discontinued, and those cadets never received police appointments.

Zhang Jiahui, whose family was burdened, had failed the police exam and was planning to work several jobs, but Li Ying chose him and made him an informant for three years.

So in the past three years, Zhang Jiahui has been using the name Zha Zha Hui, mixing in the periphery of several major gangs and providing Li Ying with a lot of information to solve cases.

This time, Li Ying was demoted to the police academy, and he took this opportunity to help Zhang Jiahui formally apply for the police examination.

Now, seeing in the surveillance footage that Zhang Jiahui had intimidated a group of students with his ruthlessness and started to arrange their answers, Li Ying was very satisfied.

According to Liu Jianming's instructions, pencils and pens were exchanged on time, and auxiliary stationery was also rotated in an orderly manner.

With half an hour left in the written test, Liu Jianming and four others were the first to finish answering the questions in their examination room.

Of course, there were also some students who submitted their papers with them because they failed to negotiate the exchange of auxiliary stationery, resulting in some students being unable to complete some questions.

After leaving the examination room, Zhao Jiabao and Ma Ailin immediately thanked Liu Jianming. The arrogant Li Baiqiao also came over to thank him. Only Zhong Liwen couldn't bring himself to do that.

Liu Jianming smiled and said, "We have a long way to go. The written exam was so tricky this time, and the number of people eliminated far exceeded that of previous years, so the interview and physical exam shouldn't be a problem."

"Everyone should accept their fate in these two levels. I hope we can still be in the same class together."

After the written examination, after two days of marking, only more than 3700 of the more than 800 students who took the examination passed the written examination.

Those who pass the written test will be arranged for interviews on July 7-11.

Early in the morning of July 7, Liu Jianming came to the police academy for an interview.

I don’t know if it was because their test scores were close or if the police academy was causing trouble again, but the interviews of Liu Jianming and the other four were arranged together.

Zhao Jiabao whispered to the others, "This time we're not going to watch a movie. I found out from the neighborhood police officer."

"There were four interviewing instructors: one foreigner, one at the level of a training director, and two training instructors."

"Students were interviewed in groups of six, taking turns answering questions. After each person answered two questions, they went home and waited for notification."

After Zhao Jiabao finished explaining the interview process, he pulled over a spirited young man and introduced him, "This is Zhong Qiuyue. She's in the same interview group as the five of us."

Zhong Qiuyue was cheerful and enthusiastically greeted the group. Liu Jianming thought he had the air of a fiery playboy, bearing a striking resemblance to the Hong Kong star Max Mok.

Liu Jianming smiled and said, "The bright Mid-Autumn moon symbolizes reunion! It means we can all pass the interview and reunite at the police academy."

Zhong Qiuyue said excitedly: "Before, when people heard my name, they all made fun of me because Qiuyue is a woman's name and sounds effeminate. This is the first time someone has used the Mid-Autumn full moon to describe me."

Zhao Jiabao laughed and said, "In the Hong Kong movies we watched at the video store, there was a line that often appeared: A person's name can be wrong, but a nickname cannot be wrong."

"From now on, we won't call you Qiuyue anymore, we'll all call you Mooncake." Zhong Liwen came over and put his arm around Zhong Qiuyue's shoulders and said, "We both have the surname Zhong, which means we were brothers five hundred years ago!" Zhong Qiuyue patted his chest in agreement.

At this time, an instructor came over to inform that it was the turn of Liu Jianming, Zhong Qiuyue and the other six to be interviewed.

When he entered the interview room, Liu Jianming felt a little pressured by the gazes he received.

Zhao Jiabao, who is always smiling, is a little timid at this time.

On the contrary, Ma Ailin, who Liu Jianming was a little worried about at first, remained calm.

Liu Jianming also realized at this time that this girl was occasionally shy in front of their friends, but it was her true nature. But she was actually quite courageous.

Whether she was facing the examiner in the written test or the scrutiny of four senior police officers in the interview, she remained calm.

With this kind of temperament, this girl should not be the sweet girl next door as originally imagined. Her family background must be extraordinary.

The layout of the interview room is spacious and simple.

There was a staircase directly in front, and four interviewers were sitting behind a long table on the staircase.

Near the entrance where Liu Jianming and the other six entered, there were six white chairs.

This design gives the examiners on the steps a natural advantage of being able to look down from a high vantage point.

Liu Jianming had just sat down when a ding sound rang in his head.

"Trigger selection task."

"Option A: Keep a low profile and barely pass the three entrance exams. You'll be rewarded with 1000 grams of gold."

"Option B: A brilliant performance, overwhelming the entire audience, and rewarding the sweet girl Ma Ailin's affection."

"Option C, all of them. Double the difficulty. In addition to the above rewards, you will also receive an additional 1/3 fragment of the Wan Chai Gunslinger."

The system is really messing around. In the past, options A and B were two different things. Doing them one after the other would just be more difficult, but completing them consecutively would get you rich rewards.

But this time, options A and B are completely contradictory. A is a steady flow, hiding and getting gold. B is a crushing flow, dominating the entire field from the start. It is almost impossible to achieve both at the same time.

But when Liu Jianming saw the special reward for option C, he couldn't help but be tempted. The "Wan Chai Gunslinger" here is not a title that was accidentally picked up in the Young and Dangerous series.

The system notes that the police headquarters is in Wan Chai, so the Wan Chai Gun God rewarded by the system is the best sharpshooter in the police force.

When all the fragments of the future are gathered together, you can shoot bullets that transcend the laws of physics and become the number one shooting god in Hong Kong variety shows!

So even if it was just a fragment, Liu Jianming was determined to get it.

No matter how difficult it is to do options AB at the same time, Liu Jianming decisively chose C.

Liu Jianming had just made his choice when the interviewer started asking questions one by one.

The first one is the “most common” and also the most difficult question to answer creatively: Why did you decide to become a police officer?

Zhong Liwen was the first to answer. Of course, he would not say that it was because of the bet with Liu Jianming, but he used a prepared long speech.

But since he was a child, he was the one who stood up for justice and drove away bullies among a group of children.

His answer was old-fashioned, but it was sincere. The four examiners first ticked it, then gave it a score of 6.

Next it’s the turn of sweet girl Ma Ailin.
