Chapter 11 Magical

Wu Bin almost thought he was seeing things.

These books weren't massive tomes; they weren't very thick. But the covers clearly read "Tengda Entry Exam"!

Actually, there had already been examinees bringing study guides to the exam. Although they couldn't copy directly, they could take a look during the lunch break and review the knowledge points, effectively sharpening their swords at the last minute.

But the previous examinees had mostly brought study guides for civil service exams, because the content of the administrative aptitude test section was generally applicable.

Now, there were even study guides specifically for the Tengda entry exam?

Wu Bin felt a bit bewildered.

He said to an examinee who was currently reviewing, "Can I take a look at this book?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the *Detailed Explanation of Real Questions for the Tengda Entry Exam*.

When the examinee saw that Wu Bin was wearing a work badge, indicating that he was a Tengda employee, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He quickly nodded and handed the book over.

Wu Bin reached out and took it, flipping through it briefly and scanning a few sets of test questions.

They were real questions?

Wu Bin couldn't help but frown slightly. Could someone inside the company have leaked the questions?

The strictness of the Tengda entry exam was similar to that of the civil service exam. After the exam, not only were the test papers collected, but even the scratch paper that was handed out was taken back. The questions from previous exams were never published through any channels.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for outsiders to obtain these real questions.

Wu Bin immediately became vigilant; this was no trivial matter.

He quickly flipped to the answer key for the real questions and looked at the standard answers.

This time, Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the standard answers were not the same as the standard answers formulated internally by Tengda.

Returning to carefully examine the previous questions, he realized that the descriptions of some of the questions were actually inaccurate, especially the short answer questions with longer text passages, which seemed to have some slight errors.

Although this didn't affect the content and answers, it indicated that these test materials didn't come from within Tengda.

"Thank goodness, it shouldn't be an internal leak."

It seemed that these questions were compiled artificially by some training institutions in society.

Like the civil service exam, which was actually much stricter than the Tengda entry exam, and the real questions were considered state secrets. But every year, the real questions could still be found online.

This was because many training institutions had a clumsy method: they would assign their own teachers to take the exam. Some would memorize the questions by rote, some would copy individual questions onto their admission tickets to take them out, and some netizens would even spontaneously remember some exam questions and share them online.

In short, there were too many ways to reconstruct a set of test questions, and these methods were all reasonable and legal.

With these questions, the training institutions would organize experts to study the answers and break down the knowledge points contained within, explaining them to their students.

These answers might not be completely correct and would not be consistent with Tengda's standard answers, but since they were answered by professionals, they would definitely be better than those of the average examinee, so they still had guiding significance.

Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

It was impossible to keep the real questions absolutely confidential.

Confirming that his own company hadn't leaked the questions and that there were no internal problems during the entire proctoring period was already good news.

The current situation, on the contrary, proved the popularity of the Tengda entry exam.

Wu Bin thanked the examinee, returned the book, and silently noted this matter.

There were already specialized training institutions creating teaching materials specifically for Tengda, and they had even reconstructed the real questions.

Wu Bin had once thought that this situation might occur, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

This matter made Wu Bin feel slightly uncomfortable.

Because the Tengda entry exam system was, in essence, creating a fair and just environment for all job seekers.

It was perfectly acceptable for these examinees to take various administrative ability tests, improve their professional knowledge, and increase their chances of passing the exam.

However, many training institutions had seen this as a path to wealth, and they had begun to sell real questions for the Tengda entry exam, which, in fact, triggered involution among the examinee group and profited from it.

It was conceivable that as more and more people became involved in the Tengda entry exam and the number of examinees increased, these training institutions would profit even more.

At that time, if examinees didn't buy these training institutions' real questions, they would be at a disadvantage in the exam. So, this would become a vicious cycle of involution.

This made Wu Bin feel a little annoyed.

But annoyed as he was, Wu Bin couldn't do anything about it.

After all, most exams in the world had the shadow of these training institutions. What they were doing wasn't illegal or criminal. Could he really hold their heads down and tell them not to interpret Tengda's exam questions?

That wasn't realistic either.

So, Wu Bin simply noted this matter down, preparing to compile a report and hand it over to Hao Yun, who would then report it to President Pei, who would decide what to do.

…

In the afternoon, near the end of the workday.

After finishing a day's work, Wu Bin looked at his watch. It was almost time to get off work and go home to rest.

However, just then, his phone rang. It was a completely unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Wu Bin answered the phone.

A very polite, even ingratiating voice came from the phone.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Wu from Tengda? Is this a convenient time to talk?"

Wu Bin frowned slightly, not answering directly. "What is it?"

The person on the phone chuckled. "Oh, Mr. Wu, we're a professional training institution, and we'd like to cooperate with you."

Wu Bin couldn't help but be taken aback. "Cooperate with me?"

The person on the phone said, "Yes. Mr. Wu, it's like this. We've long heard that the Tengda entry exam has a very important step called the 'Tengda Spirit Test'. Is that right?"

"We'd like to create some study materials related to the 'Tengda Spirit Test'."

"To be honest, there's a huge demand for these materials. Many of our students want to buy them. But, we really don't have the channels to get them."

"So, that's why we've managed to find you."

"If you can provide similar channels and cooperate with us to produce a set of study materials for the 'Tengda Spirit Test', we can discuss the profits from this area."

"If we can get our hands on the real questions, that would be even better! Even if we don't have the real questions, as long as the material is done reasonably well and can't be debunked, that'll be enough…"

"You understand what I mean, right?"

Wu Bin frowned and remained silent for a moment before saying, "How did you get my contact information?"

The person on the other end seemed to sense that Wu Bin was angry and quickly explained, "Mr. Wu, please don't misunderstand. We definitely don't want to invade your privacy. We just want to build a good relationship and get rich together. Oh, no, create a great enterprise."

Wu Bin said in a deep voice, "The Tengda Spirit Compatibility Test is only for a very small number of job applicants who make it that far. Most people are eliminated during the written exam. It's not like everyone needs it, right?"

The person on the phone said, "Mr. Wu, you don't know. We can bundle them together for sale."

"We can sell the written exam, the interview, and the spirit test materials all bundled together for about 20 yuan each, which comes to about 60 yuan in total. Most people won't mind spending an extra 20 yuan for the sake of convenience."

"It's true that only a few people will use it, but it's a case of willing buyer, willing seller. It doesn't matter."

Wu Bin understood.

The training institution that called was also very clear that the Tengda Spirit Test was actually useless for 99% of the people taking the Tengda entry exam.

Because if you can't even pass the written exam, you're already thinking about the final step, the Tengda Spirit Test, which is like wanting to fly before you've learned to walk.

Moreover, the people who actually get hired are subtly influenced in their departments and can basically pass the Tengda Spirit Compatibility Test smoothly, so they don't need the material at all.

So, this training institution didn't even say that they absolutely needed the real questions for the Tengda Spirit Test.

As long as they could get away with it and not be debunked, that was enough.

In other words, they wanted to engage in a scheme to collect an intelligence tax.

They would sell Tengda's written exam questions, interview questions, and spirit test questions all bundled together as a package. When people came to buy them, they would assume that all three sets of questions were useful and buy them all.

That 20 yuan was a pure intelligence tax, and most people probably wouldn't even realize it.

Wu Bin remained silent for a moment and said, "This is Tengda's top secret. I advise you not to entertain this idea again, or you won't have a good ending!"

With that, Wu Bin hung up the phone directly.

It was simply outrageous.

The Tengda Spirit was Tengda's top secret, the spiritual wealth shared by all Tengda employees, the guiding principle that he had painstakingly summarized from President Pei's words and deeds.

How could it be used to do business and make money?

Especially by these training institutions to collect intelligence taxes from students; that was even more intolerable!

Wu Bin felt that this matter had to be taken seriously.

If these training institutions could find his contact information through roundabout ways, they could definitely find other employees' as well.

Wu Bin was an employee of the Human Resources Department, with the deepest and most unwavering understanding of the Tengda Spirit, so he was able to resist this temptation.

But what about other ordinary employees?

They might not realize the seriousness of the matter or might simply be bought off with money.

If these training institutions really produced a study guide for the Tengda Spirit Test, it would become an industry chain. Although it might not make much money now, as Tengda's scale grew and more and more people took the Tengda entry exam, the profits involved would also increase.

This kind of thing was obviously not in line with the Tengda Spirit.

He had to report it to President Pei as soon as possible and eliminate this hidden danger!

He looked at the time; it was time to get off work.

Wu Bin thought for a moment and decided to summarize these things tomorrow morning, report them to Hao Yun, and then let Hao Yun report them to President Pei so that President Pei could decide what to do.
