Zhang Heng was no stranger to the nuclear power plant's No. 1 administrative building.
Just nine months ago, he, Coconut, and the others had a "friendly" conversation with the nuclear power plant's director, Bryukhanov, and chief engineer, Fumin, in the underground bunker of this building.
Now, Zhang Heng was here again, wearing a suit and leather shoes. He even deliberately combed his hair and followed the receptionist to the small conference room on the fourth floor.
There were already many people sitting in the corridor dressed like him. Zhang Heng found the corresponding seat according to his number. From the order, he could see that there were four people in front of him, and three people behind him.
Including Zhang Heng, all eight people came to the nuclear power plant to apply for a job. However, their expressions were different this time. Some were nervous, some were shaking their legs, some were closing their eyes, and some were constantly wiping their sweat.
Zhang Heng seemed to be the most relaxed among the eight people. While the people in front of him walked into the conference room, he got up, went to the water dispenser on the side, took a glass of water, and looked out the window while drinking.
Now, the nuclear power plant seemed to be thriving. All kinds of buildings were neatly arranged, and the three reactors that were built were in good condition, continuously providing electricity to Ukraine. The construction of the fourth reactor, which would cause a catastrophe in the future, was about to be completed. This was why the Chernobyl nuclear power plant began to recruit new blood.
Of course, the newly recruited people would not immediately be responsible for the operation of the new reactor. Instead, they would first go to other reactors for internships to accumulate work experience.
Zhang Hen finished his glass of water, took another glass, returned to his seat, and handed it to the man who looked quite nervous and had begun to bite his fingers.
The latter quickly thanked him and took the cup in a flurry.
"How should I address you?" Zhang Heng reached out a hand.
"Evgeny," the man also reached out, but halfway through, he realized that he was still holding a glass of water in his hand, so he reached out his other hand and shook Zhang Heng's hand in a somewhat awkward manner. "I used to work at the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant.
"I am Ivan, from Zaporizhia Thermoelectric Station 1," Zhang Heng also introduced himself.
Hearing Zhang Heng's words, the man seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension on his face lessened a lot.
Zhang Heng knew why Evgeny was so relaxed. Strictly speaking, the eight people sitting in the corridor were all competitors. They were competing for four jobs, and the passing rate was exactly half and half. That would be considered high in Zhang Heng's previous life. However, this was not the same as his previous life, where hundreds of people competed for a single job.
Nuclear power plant recruitment usually went through the recommendation process. First, there would be recommendations from various parties. Then, the nuclear power plant's recruitment department would summarize the list of candidates and send it to the Nuclear Energy Central Board of Governors for review. Once the candidates were approved, the nuclear power plant would organize interviews to finalize the final list. Then, it would be submitted to the Nuclear Energy Central Board of Governors for approval.
It could be seen that the final recruitment list was agreed upon by the nuclear power plant and the central council. The Nuclear Energy Central Council was also responsible for the background check, but this was not a problem for an unregistered citizen like Zhang Heng.
He did not use his own identity. Instead, he directly found a candidate who was closer to him in size and figure and borrowed the latter's identity. The applicants for the nuclear power plant came from all over SL. They were unfamiliar with Pripyat, and there was no fingerprint collection system in this day and age. When they actually submitted it to the higher-ups, all they submitted was a resume and a photo, which was quite easy to impersonate.
As long as Zhang Heng confirmed that none of the nuclear power plant interviewers had seen him recently, he would be able to use his Level 2 disguise skills to fool them. Since his identity was real, even if the Nuclear Energy Central Board of Governors called his previous workplace to verify it, it would not be a problem.
So now, he replaced Ivan to interview at the nuclear power plant. In terms of resume, Ivan was actually not that outstanding. Unlike Evgeny, who had experience working at a nuclear power plant, Ivan's previous job was at a thermoelectric station. Evgeny obviously realized this, and that was why he felt that he had eliminated a competitor.
Of course, the reason why Zhang Heng chose Ivan was not just because Ivan was the most similar to him. Otherwise, it would be pointless for him to replace someone who would surely be eliminated. In fact, the reason why Zhang Heng chose Ivan in the end had a lot to do with Ivan's work experience.
Evgeny did not chat with Zhang Heng for too long. Although Zhang Heng poured him a glass of water, and the relationship between the two became more harmonious, Evgeny did not forget that they were still competitors. So, he was cautious when they talked, and they only talked about things outside of work.
After a while, as the applicants entered the conference room one by one, it was finally Evgeny's turn. Zhang Heng wished Evgeny a smooth interview, and Evgeny thanked him politely. After that, he adjusted his tie and walked in.
After a full twenty minutes, Evgeny walked out of the conference room. When he came out, he was no longer nervous. He had a faint smile on his face, and he even encouraged Zhang Heng, "It's your turn, Ivan. Come on, do your best."
"Thank you, I will."
Zhang Heng got up, walked past Evgeny, and pushed the door of the conference room open.
There was an oval wooden table in the room, and three people were sitting behind it.
Zhang Heng recognized two of them. One was Brekhanov, and the other was Fu Ming. Both of them looked good, completely different from how they looked after the explosion. Fu Ming's square face was angular, and he sat there. His deep and spirited eyes seemed to be able to see through the candidates. Brekhanov, on the other hand, had a gentle face, and his smile was quite amiable. The raised corners of his eyes showed that everything here was under his control.
As for the third person on the right, Zhang Heng searched his memory and found that he had no impression of this person. Whether it was before or after the accident, he did not see this person's shadow. He should have left the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant before 1986.
At this moment, he was looking at the resume in his hand, frowning slightly.
"Ivan, you are from Crimea, and you are 25 years old this year."
"That's right."
"You used to work as a steam turbine engineer at Zaporizhia Thermal Power Station 1?"
"Yes." Zhang Heng nodded.
"Then why do you want to work at the nuclear power plant?"
"Because everyone says that thermoelectricity represents the past and present, and clean energy like nuclear power represents the future. I want to embrace the future," Zhang Heng answered smoothly.
