There was also a group of people waiting outside the First Research Institute.
Ji Ziyin, He Lin and Ji Xiao were all there, and there was a large group of people around them waiting for the assessment results to come out.
"Why is it so slow?" Ji Xiao looked at his watch several times, and finally couldn't help but got up from his seat, walked to the entrance of the aisle, and stretched his neck to take a look.
There's no sign of anyone coming out yet.
He turned back and said to Ji Ziyin with an annoyed look: "Usually the assessment would have ended by this time, but today it's been more than half an hour and no one has come out... What's going on?"
Ji Ziyin was also looking at the time.
She didn't wear a watch, so she looked at the time on the quartz clock hanging on the wall.
The hour and minute hands on the quartz clock had long passed the intersection point, it was already 12:35.
She remembered clearly that the second round of assessment should end at 12 o'clock, which means that 35 minutes have passed since the end of the assessment.
35 minutes passed and no one came out.
Ji Ziyin pursed her red lips and could no longer hold her temper. She stood up and picked up her cell phone to call someone she knew to ask about the situation inside.
She hasn't made the call yet.
There was a commotion in the lounge.
Someone said loudly: "The assessment results are out!"
"The results are out? Where?"
"Finally the results are out... I thought something unexpected happened inside, otherwise why didn't anyone come out and the results weren't announced for a long time."
Everyone looked at the scrolling screen.
After 40 minutes, the results finally began to be announced on the scrolling screen.
This time, only 29 people participated in the second round of assessment, and the results were announced quickly.
According to the old rules, the first to appear on the scrolling screen were the 20th to 29th place. Ji Ziyin had no interest in the rankings behind them, and just looked up as a routine.
Qiao Nian’s name was not on it either.
Soon, the scrolling screen updated with 10-20 more names.
Similarly, there is no Qiao Nian's name or Ji Hongfeng's name in this ranking, which shows that the two of them are in the top ten.
Ji Xiao, who was standing by, saw that Qiao Nian's name was not among the top 10-20. He looked up with a hint of surprise and asked in a low voice, "That Qiao Nian made it into the top ten?"
He Lin was also paying close attention to the rankings refreshed on the scrolling screen, and saw that Qiao Nian was not on the list at the back.
He was calmer than yesterday, but still very excited and nervous. However, he didn't almost collapse like he did yesterday.
He was mentally prepared today.
So when he saw that Qiao Nian's name was not among the top 10-20 on the scrolling screen, although he was very nervous, he did not show it on his face.
"It seems that she is in the top ten." Ji Ziyin stared at the scrolling screen expressionlessly and answered Ji Xiao's question.
Ji Xiao pursed his lips, and couldn't help but look at the scrolling screen, and began to get nervous.
In the first round, only Qiao Nian and Xie Yu's scores were qualified to compete with Ji Hongfeng for admission to the research institute. As long as these two people did not perform as well as Ji Hongfeng in the second round, then according to the comprehensive scores, Ji Hongfeng would be able to enter...
But they were unlucky, as Qiao Nian and Xie Yu seemed to be in the top ten.
It became uncertain whether Ji Hongfeng could successfully obtain the qualification to enter the research institute.
After a few seconds, the scrolling screen refreshed again.
According to the previous rules, the results will be announced directly this time, and there will be no need to wait for verification like the first round.
Ji Ziyin's eyes deepened slightly as she waited for the final results to come out.
As soon as the scroll screen refreshed, she looked directly at the first row and the first place.
