Chapter 1632: Chapter 1630: Various Voices

"The results are out!" As someone shouted, everyone’s attention turned to the few teachers who had emerged.

The scoring process had been conducted with utmost formality, with The Higher-Ups themselves overseeing the process and leaders from the Group company rushing over; attendance was compulsory, as it was a requirement from above.

Media reporters had also been arranged beforehand.

The leader-like teacher who emerged glanced at the crowd and said, "The results are out and will soon be published online for everyone to scrutinize. The entire examination process was very strict and has been recognized by all parties, ensuring principles of openness, fairness, and transparency. Therefore, the results are valid and legitimate. Thank you for your supervision. Now, I believe I will announce the results."

Indeed, as he said, the entire examination, under the manipulation of various parties, was transparent; even the conditions within the examination room were documented, making it impossible to cheat in the process.

Everyone agreed on the fairness of this examination, and now, what they were most eager to know was the results.

Tobia Armstrong sat there appearing calm, but only he knew his own thoughts. The results were of great significance to him, and now, everything was about to be revealed, making his heart extremely unsettled.

Ah!

As the results of each candidate appeared on the huge display screen, everyone began to express their shock.

This!

Soon, everyone stared in astonishment at the name and score that dominated the first place.

Honestly, that name was so conspicuous it couldn’t be overlooked; the gap between it and the second place was not marginal. Those ranked below the second place were essentially failing, unable to obtain the certificate, but the first place was just a few points shy of perfect score. What was happening here?

Tobia Armstrong first felt heavy-hearted, but upon seeing the first-place score, a smile finally appeared on his face. He had known the performance wouldn’t be good and even entertained the idea of complete failure. However, the first place was a delightful surprise—who said the Group company had no talent? Here was a nearly perfect score, something very few in the country could achieve!

At this moment, Tobia Armstrong received a call from the leader.

The other party didn’t say much, just one sentence, "Very good, very good, not bad!"

After speaking, the leader hung up the phone.

However, Tobia Armstrong could sense the joy in the leader’s voice. Some people wanted to cause embarrassment, probably calculated everything but failed to anticipate such an excellent result—far from being a source of ridicule, this examination turned out to be a moment of pride. This was good news.

By hyping up the high scores, attention would shift, and no one would bother about those who did poorly. Performing badly was the norm; performing exceptionally well was the highlight.

Thinking this, Tobia Armstrong’s previously gloomy expression changed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Only then did Tobia Armstrong look at the name.

Upon seeing the name, Tobia Armstrong exclaimed, "Peter Brown?"

A Deputy Chief Engineer beside him also recovered and, in a good mood, said, "Mr. Armstrong, you forgot about the first one who submitted the exam. When he turned in his paper, we asked him how he did, and he said he did it. We even thought he had handed in a blank sheet, haha."

At this moment, Tobia Armstrong also remembered. This was the man Hadley had recommended for the test. Many people had cynically suggested that Hadley was just trying to get his trusted follower a certificate. Just yesterday, people came complaining to him about Hadley’s behavior.

Thinking of this, Tobia Armstrong’s attitude towards Hadley changed dramatically, thinking this was a person who knew how to use talent. If it wasn’t for Hadley recommending Peter Brown to take the test, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Turning to look back, Tobia Armstrong saw Henry Ford standing there and walked over proactively, smiling, "Hadley, the person you recommended is pretty good!"

At that moment, Henry Ford was somewhat dumbfounded. He had never expected Peter Brown to perform so well and was staring at the results, daydreaming.

Hearing Tobia Armstrong speak, Henry Ford forced a smile, "I didn’t expect this kid to do so well either."

Tobia Armstrong laughed heartily, "That’s why we, as leaders, need to learn to discover talent. Hadley, you’ve done well by finding gold in the mud."

Everyone laughed at this point.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Henry Ford too became emotionally stirred, thinking to himself that this kid was unexpectedly awesome.

Wait, could it be that he already knew the questions?

This idea suddenly popped into Henry Ford’s head.

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Otherwise, how could he have scored so well?

The backing must be powerful for someone to get their hands on such questions. It seemed a wise move to foster a good relationship with Peter Brown, which would need to be further strengthened in the future.

Looking at Tobia Armstrong, Henry Ford’s mind suddenly became more lively. Seizing this opportunity, he thought he might be able to return to the subsidiary to take charge of significant tasks.

The media reporters were also shocked at this time. They had not expected such a huge gap to emerge. This person named Peter Brown was incredibly awesome, missing a perfect score by only three points. Such performance was simply heaven-defying.

Everyone had come prepared, knowing from experts’ analysis of the question types that this examination was tougher than any before. Even those familiar with the material would struggle to score well. So how did this Peter Brown score so impressively?

Suddenly, Peter Brown’s background was dug up by everyone.

A migrant worker and a former temporary worker who had quickly risen up—it was an inspirational story with quite a punch!

Of course, some people started raising the issue of leaked questions, and such voices began to emerge.

Regardless, Peter Brown instantly became a hot topic, which even he had not expected.

With over a hundred candidates and only one passing—scoring so high—the voices suggesting a leak of questions gradually gained the upper hand.

Under the manipulation of certain interested parties, topics of corruption and leaked questions quickly filled the media.

The rapid reversal of the situation took everyone by surprise.

Tobia Armstrong and others, who had just relaxed, became tense again instantly. However, faced with such claims, Tobia Armstrong knew he had to stand firmly by Peter Brown and immediately responded to the allegations.

Those in charge of organizing the examination were also unhappy to see this shift in opinion and came forward to present various evidence, proving the fairness of the examination.

PS: I recommend the Book "Legend of the Star" by Yuxi Mountain Man, a classic military literature of the anti-Japanese war!

Special elite and staff officer of operational training for a certain group army, Marcus Saxton, was struck by lightning while inspecting the site of the Pingxingguan Victory and his soul traveled through time, merging with the soul of a young Red Devil platoon leader named Marcus Saxton, who died heroically during an ambush at Pingxingguan against the Japanese. From then on, the nightmare of the invading Japanese forces began!
