Big Capitalist

Merlin paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said seriously: "First, although we have decided to take all of them, through the interview we can accurately know what positions these people are suitable for. For example, those who are good at alchemy can be arranged to the newly opened alchemy research and development center in the Arcane City, allowing them to give full play to their expertise and promote the innovation of alchemy technology; those who are deeply knowledgeable in magic arrays can be arranged to be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the city's magic defense array to ensure the safety of the city. Only by making the best use of their talents can we make the most of them."

"Secondly, this interview is also intended to send a signal to those outside who are waiting and watching. Even if it is to attract talents, it is not so easy to enter the Arcane City. Let everyone understand that we value talents, but we value the comprehensive quality of talents more. Not just anyone can get in. This is the only way to attract people who are truly ambitious and willing to work hard for the Arcane City to join."

"Third, during the interview process, we can also observe these people's personality traits and teamwork ability. Although some people have strong professional knowledge, they are withdrawn and not good at communicating with others. When assigning positions, we can try to avoid letting them do jobs that require frequent communication; those who are good at coordination and strong in organizational skills can be considered for management positions to lead the team to overcome difficulties."

"Fourthly, with the information collected through the interviews, we can develop targeted training plans for them in the future. After learning about their shortcomings in urban construction, people's livelihood, etc., we can offer special courses to help them grow quickly, better adapt to the development needs of the Arcane City, and become all-round outstanding talents."

As everyone listened to Merlin's clear explanation, the anger on their faces gradually dissipated, replaced by a thoughtful look.

Although Vice Dean Jenny was still a little angry, she had to admit that Merlin's consideration was indeed thorough. She snorted and turned her head away: "Humph, I hope you can really use these people well. If you mess up, don't blame me for being rude."

Merlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly glad that the storm had temporarily subsided.

At this moment, Agatha suddenly remembered Merlin's promise when he recruited them to be interviewers. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked Merlin, "Didn't you say that we would get enough benefits if we come here to help with the interview? We've been busy all day, we can't do it for nothing."

Michelle and Vice Dean Jenny were originally organizing their own thoughts. After hearing this, they also turned their gazes to Merlin at the same time, with a bit of expectation and scrutiny in their eyes.

After all, they were willing to take out their precious time to participate in this interview, largely because of the benefits Merlin promised.

Merlin saw this, with a relaxed smile on his face, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, there will definitely be benefits."

Vice Dean Jenny snorted lightly, with a hint of ridicule and disbelief in her tone: "It's really not easy to get benefits from you, but let me make it clear first, Agatha and Michelle are both seventh-level magicians, and I am an eighth-level legendary magician. If it's ordinary things, we won't look down on them."

Indeed, when reaching the level of these three people, ordinary treasures, magic items, etc. are like old shoes in their eyes. They are knowledgeable and have extraordinary strength. They own countless rare items, and ordinary mundane things are not worth their attention.

But they all knew in their hearts that Merlin was a shrewd boy and must have some new and interesting things in his hands, or some unknown ways.

Merlin chuckled, and there was something mysterious in that smile, making it hard to understand: "I didn't say that I was giving you benefits."

"What do you mean!" As soon as these words came out, the three of them felt like they were fooled and their faces changed slightly.

People of their strength usually have their time fully scheduled, either practicing hard in seclusion to study advanced magic, or being invited to deal with various difficult problems. Every minute and every second is precious. Now they have spent a whole day on this interview, fully expecting to get a rich reward, but Merlin ended up playing Tai Chi. How could they not be annoyed?

Merlin sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly waved his hands, explaining in a panic: "Don't worry, I'm not kidding you, someone will send you something."

Agatha frowned, her eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Who will send us something?"

Merlin chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes. After keeping everyone in suspense, he slowly said, "Of course it's the graduates from before."

"Graduates???" The three of them wondered in unison and looked at each other with disbelief written all over their faces.

"Don't worry, they will definitely give you gifts when the time comes, and you can just accept them." Merlin smiled confidently, as if everything was under his control.

But the three of them were still full of doubts, not knowing what exactly Merlin was up to...

After the interviews and selections for the talent recruitment were over, the air in the Arcane City seemed to be filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation.

These graduates stayed in the city temporarily, anxiously waiting for the final results of the exam, like ants on a hot pan, restless.

They are well aware of the rarity of this opportunity. If they miss it, they don’t know what kind of life they will have to go through before they can find such an ideal development platform and change their social status.

Looking at their appearance, some of them had frowned brows, pacing back and forth in front of the windows of their residences, their eyes wandering, full of anxiety; some of them had no appetite, and repeated themselves in front of the mirror, trying to make up for the mistakes made during the interview, but they knew it was a waste of effort, and their voices trembled unconsciously.

What's worse, some people who think they have performed very poorly in the interview have begun to panic and look for connections behind them, mobilizing all the power of their connections and asking people for information, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope for their future at this critical moment.

In their eyes, Merlin and Alex were insignificant. Although they had heard that Merlin had some prestige in the Arcane Academy, they had no idea to what extent.

In comparison, Vice Dean Jenny, Agatha and Michelle are real authorities in the college with great reputations. In their minds, these people are the key figures who can really influence whether they pass the interview.

As long as one can win the favor of these people, the door to the officialdom of the Arcane City will be half open.

Little did they know that their judgment was completely off the mark, but this was exactly what Merlin had hoped for.
