A group of people was waiting outside the First Research Institute.
Ji Ziyin, He Lin, and Ji Xiao were all there. A large group of people was waiting for the results of the assessment.
"Why is it so slow?" Ji Xiao looked at his watch a few times and finally couldn't help but get up from his seat. He walked to the entrance of the aisle and craned his neck to take a look.
There was no sign of anyone coming out yet.
He turned back and said to Ji Ziyin with an annoyed expression, "Usually, the assessment would have ended long ago at this time. It's been more than half an hour, but no one came out. What's going on?"
Ji Ziyin was also looking at the time.
She wasn't wearing a watch, so she looked at the time on the quartz clock hanging on the wall.
The hour and minute hand on the quartz clock had long passed the intersection point. It was already 12:35 PM.
She remembered very clearly that the second round of assessment should end at 12:00 PM. In other words, 35 minutes had passed since the end of the assessment.
35 minutes had passed, but no one came out.
Ji Ziyin pursed her red lips tightly. Unable to hold it in anymore, she stood up and picked up her phone to call someone she knew to ask about the situation inside.
She had yet to make the call when there was a commotion in the lounge.
Someone said loudly, "The results of the assessment are out!"
"The results are out? Where?"
"The results are finally out! I thought something unexpected had happened inside. Otherwise, why didn't anyone come out? The results haven't been announced for a long time."
Everyone looked at the scrolling screen.
The results were finally announced after 40 minutes.
This time, only 29 people participated in the second round of assessment, and the results were announced quickly.
According to the old rules, the 21st to 29th place came out first.
Ji Ziyin was not interested in the low rankings and only looked up routinely.
