Chapter 108: It's hard to tell the truth from the false, so fill in the form

"Auntie Chen, you didn't come to work a few days ago and missed the chance to fill out the forms. I have a few extra ones here, come and fill them out."

As she spoke, Xu Ying pushed the pen and the form over and stared seriously at the man filling out the form.

She chose the office of the leader where she met with the leader as the location for the interview, which was consistent with her identity and her intention: most employees would feel a little nervous when they enter this office, and when people are nervous, would they tell the real information to others?
Chen Pan wrote with a rare serious attitude. The temperature in the office was very low, but her palms were covered with sticky sweat. It was her first time entering this room, and it was also her first time to write so carefully. The little girl opposite was sitting lazily on the chair, with her hands spread out and her back against the back of the chair. She was very cute and pretty, but her eyes were like two bright fires, which made people feel scared.

She was full of complaints: My colleagues are really unreliable. How can filling out forms be a trivial matter? Such a big leader came here in person to guard. If you had told me the truth earlier, I would have prepared in advance and memorized the answers. For example, before my child takes an exam, I would ask him to memorize the text he is going to take.

She filled out the form nervously and returned the paper and pen with both hands.

Xu Ying took the form and turned it over without even looking at it: "How many items are filled out according to the actual situation?"

"Leader, this is all true."

Xu Ying pulled out an identical form from the folder: "Please fill it out again."

She leaned forward and put both arms on the table, very close to the man. This time she wanted to see not only what the other person filled out, but also the order in which he filled out the form.

As long as there is a little bit of fabrication in the previous form, people will fill in the random items as soon as possible to cover up this fabrication, because they will be forgotten after a long time. If the form is not filled in according to the order, it can basically be determined that the content is not true.

Chen Pan's hands began to tremble after he took the pen: Did I forget something and fill in the form incorrectly, and she found out? I have to fill it in properly this time.

Xu Ying saw that the person filled out the form in order, so she didn't look at it carefully. If possible, she didn't want to put so much pressure on others, and she didn't want to explore other people's privacy in this way.

However, there was an element of instability hidden in this group of people. The instability in faraway places had nothing to do with her, but the station was very close to her home, so she put a little more thought into it.

After Chen Pan finished filling out the form, Xu Ying took a quick look at the two forms. The asymptotic rates were the same, but the monthly household income was different. The second form was 40 more than the first, but the difference was not big, and it was not noticeable after rounding.

"Well filled out. I invited you here today because I have some small questions to ask. I remember that in the past, the bus from the county to the town seemed to charge twelve yuan per person. No, it was twelve yuan to the terminal, but since 2020, it has only charged three yuan. Am I right?"

Chen Pan will never forget this major event. In March 2020, all the buses from the county to the town at Pinglin County Bus Station were changed to public buses, with lower fares, and all the drivers who used to drive buses received "a large sum of money", and she was one of them.

"I remember correctly."

"You should have noticed that the bus business from the county to the town has been getting worse since this year. Are you and your colleagues looking for other jobs?"

Chen Pan felt confused: Although the salary is not high, I have never thought about changing jobs. It is difficult to find a job in the county town. Not to mention that it will take more effort to find a job, the salary is not much higher than now.

“No.”

Xu Ying then asked, "Have you heard of any colleagues getting together to change jobs?"

"I didn't hear that."

Haven't heard of it? Not hearing of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Zhao Yuxi couldn't have issued a task that didn't exist. I don't know how she linked the insect plague to Cui Jiqiu, but her connection was reasonable and true. Then, she linked the station to the riot, which must have been reasonable and true. We must be on guard! I probably can't get any valuable information from you, so let's stop here.

"Oh. It's okay, you can go. Don't tell anyone what you do, say, or hear here."

"Yes." When Chen Pan left the office, she saw a line of people standing in the corridor outside the door. Song Shihe was not very enthusiastic about her work, but her efficiency was good enough. She read through dozens of forms in a short time and selected a dozen people who were obviously problematic and asked them to line up outside the office.

Chen Pan walked out and Song Shihe walked in.

Xu Ying showed her both tables. "The first-order asymptotic rate is 17 months. Such a person should not be our focus. In addition to comparing the file and the table to determine the authenticity, can you see anything else?"

Song Shihe answered the question irrelevantly: "I am not good at reading people's hearts."

Xu Ying said, "Well... I'm not good at it either, but that's not the point. After reading so many files, what is your most intuitive impression of them?"

"I don't think it's possible for them to start a riot."

"The probability is small, but not zero. Whether they start a riot or not, they can't hurt us. They are not targeting us, but others may not be spared."

Xu Ying called in the people who were queuing outside the office one by one and asked them to fill out the form in turn.

But this still doesn't play a key role. People who lied before are likely to lie now. Moreover, even if she knows they are lying, what can she do? In addition, they have not caused any consequences or formed facts, so she can't take the next step.

After letting those people fill out the forms, Xu Ying made a prompt decision and found Song Shihe to write a task report: "The tasks given by the dean do not have to be completed 100%. You think they can't cause a riot, so you write the task report and add your words. This task will not last forever. As long as I can fool the dean first, I can do the next task. Are you busy during the summer vacation?"

The previous words sounded fine and normal, until the last sentence, when the webmaster suddenly asked, "Are you busy during the summer vacation?" Song Shihe connected this sentence with the previous ones and suddenly realized, "Very busy."

Xu Ying asked tentatively, "Busy with your graduation trip?"

"Correct."

Song Shihe is indeed planning a graduation trip, and she plans to take advantage of the long vacation to live by the sea for a while.

"Then I won't let you stay at the station. Graduation trip is a big deal, so I'll give you a long vacation. Have you announced the admission results?"

When Xu Ying met her cousin in the morning, she forgot to ask about the admission result. Now when she talked about graduation, she remembered that the end of a journey is usually connected to the beginning of another journey. The graduation trip and the admission result are the end and beginning of two things.

"not yet."

"Send me the mission report within two days, then go on a trip or vacation. I won't contact you again before August 8th."

"Thank you."

"No thanks, I'll still pay you during the holidays, it's not me who's paying it anyway."

Xu Ying estimated that it would take another two or three days to complete the second assessment, but in fact it only took her less than half a day.

She expected Song Shihe to wait until the last minute to give her the report, but Song Shihe wrote the report and handed it to her that evening.

At this point, on Friday, July 7, the second assessment task came to a temporary end, and she notified her classmates to send the report to Zhao Yuxi. From then on, both of them would enter the next stage of the assessment.
