Chapter 471: A Test for Sima Yi

"You said that you Sima Yi are young and have never done anything that can be said, so just because you are Hu Zhao's apprentice, then I will accept you directly. Doesn't this make people say that I, Guo Jia, am nepotism! Guo Jia said directly.

Ming'er's little maid nodded her little head next to her, that's right! That's right!

"So, the adults want to test the late students?" Sima Yi asked, this is also normal, if it is a person with a name and surname, such as a senior executive of another company, it will naturally be accepted directly, but as a fresh college graduate, you want to enter the company directly without going through a written test and interview, is it possible?

You must know that Guo Jia is a Fortune 50 company here, if Sima Yi doesn't have a relationship with Hu Zhao, he won't even be able to submit his resume!

"Yes, you look confident." Guo Jia nodded in admiration, "But it's good to have self-confidence, but if you don't have the strength, then you're arrogant!" Guo Jia said.

"Adults, please!" Sima Yi hugged his fist directly.

Guo Jia raised his right index finger and middle finger and said,

"I have two tests, one is the literary test, and the other is the martial test."

"What?! And the martial arts test?! Sima Yi exclaimed in surprise, Sima Yi, like Guo Jia, is a weak scholar, and now Sima Yi is still young after all, how can he not be surprised when he hears such words.

"Don't worry, my so-called martial arts test is not to test your strength, but to actually do it. As for the essay exam, you just need to answer my questions. Guo Jia explained.

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time scolded himself in his heart for being too nervous and talking nonsense. Unless Guo Jia wants to deliberately embarrass him, how can there be that kind of real martial arts test. Such an obvious question. He didn't react immediately, and sure enough, there are still many places to learn.

"Please give me advice." Sima Yi said again.

"Literature test. There's a question, and you're good at it. Guo Jia said.

Not only Sima Yi, but also the little maid Ming'er next to her hurriedly pricked up her ears. This is Ming'er secretly competing with Sima Yi, she wants to see which of the two of them will come up with the answer first!

I heard Guo Jia ask,

"Suppose, an old fairy suddenly appears in front of you and puts three fairy peaches out. Eating the first one can increase the longevity of 30 years, eating the second can increase the life expectancy of 50 years, and eating the third can increase the life expectancy of 70 years. ”

Hear here. Sima Yi and Ming'er couldn't help frowning, what kind of topic is this. It seems that it should be an unconventional test, "Double Non" Guo Jia really likes to play cards out of common sense, not only when using stratagems, but also in ordinary life.

"However, there are conditions for eating these peaches, and if you want to eat the first peach, you must first live past the age of thirty; If you want to eat the second peach, you need to live past the age of fifty; And eat the third peach. The premise is that you must live to be seventy years old first. So, you can only choose one of the three, which one will you choose? Guo Jia asked.

Pick the second one! Ming'er's little maid immediately came up with the "correct answer". This is a question that tests people's character and their analytical ability. How to combine risks and benefits in the best way is the key to this question. The first one, the lowest condition. But the benefits are minimal, but for ordinary people. But it's the best choice. Because in this era, due to war. Famine, premature death, illness, the average life expectancy of ordinary people is estimated to be only under 20 years old, so the first 30-year-old is already in the sky. If you are greedy, you will not even live to be fifty years old if you choose the second one.

But for Sima Yi, the situation is a little different, Sima Yi is not an ordinary person, he is a child of everyone, and now he is living so big, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he has money to see a doctor, so if nothing else, he should be able to live to be fifty years old, so choosing the second one is the most realistic, and at that time, he can live to be more than a hundred years old, which is enough.

As for the third one, seventy years old can already be regarded as a long-lived person in this era, and ordinary people can't live that long at all, unless it's a cultivator like Zuo Ci, or a person like Hua Tuo, if others are insatiable, they can only get nothing.

Really, the young master's topic is too simple, right?

Just as Ming'er was thinking like this, Sima Yi thought about it, but replied,

"I'll pick the third, the seventy-year-old one."

Ming'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and suddenly said disdainfully,

"Insatiable!"

Moreover, even if you really want to choose the seventy-year-old one, you can answer the second one at this time. This guy is not only not greedy enough, but it seems that his brain is not very good.

At this time, Ming'er may have associated Sima Yi with the big man. For example, the aid child wiped his saliva and said: "I choose the one that has been around for 70 years." Wait, are you sure it shouldn't be "I choose the big one" or "I choose the delicious one"?

"Hah, interesting. I guess you're telling the truth. Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Nature." Sima Yi nodded, "If I lie, I will definitely choose the second one." ”

Ming'er frowned, could it be that Guo Jia is not testing any analytical ability, but simply testing whether a person is honest? Well, although honesty is indeed important, and sometimes even more precious than talent, Ming'er is still a little unacceptable. After all, if Sima Yi is right, it means that she is completely thinking in the wrong direction. Wouldn't this be a loss to Sima Yi?!

"Haha, if it were me, I would definitely choose the third one." Guo Jia laughed and said, "However, I still want to hear it, what is your reason?" Are you really so confident that you can live to the age of 70? ”

"There is no self-confidence. However, since there is such a goal, there is a direction to work towards. If you don't live to be seventy, then I don't have much to say. Sima Yi replied.

"Insatiable is insatiable, pretending to be anything!" Ming'er couldn't help muttering.

In fact, Guo Jia is testing Sima Yi's ambition from the side. Sure enough, if you want to take it, you have to take the best! It is said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, if he doesn't even have this heart, then what can he do if he chooses fifty years? Thinking modestly, what is the point of living for so long? Dare to choose a person who has been for 70 years, at least it shows that there is a heart of hard work, so even if you fail to succeed in the end, you can have a sense of worthwhile in this life!

A person's life is not judged by the length of life. Seventy years of mediocrity can really compare to the twenty years of glory of others? Maybe everyone has a different opinion, but now Sima Yi and Guo Jia have the same choice and are compatible.

"Excellent! Even if you pass the literary test, the following is the martial arts test. Guo Jia beckoned to Sima Yi, "Come here, come here." ”

After Sima Yi approached, Guo Jia said,

"I'm going to ask you to help me go to Lujiang to hire the Qiao family!" (To be continued......)
