27 Yang Chen stood at the bottom of the Yu Lei Building, smoked a cigarette, and then saw a few job applicants who had taken the exam come out one after another, all looking dejected and sullen. Among them was even the lecherous fat man.
When the fat man saw Yang Chen, he said with a hint of annoyance, "Brother, how is your brain wired? You could answer such difficult questions. I only understood eighty percent of the English one, and I couldn't make head or tail of the French one!"
"Hehe, just luck, luck," Yang Chen couldn't tell him that because of the strange martial arts he practiced, his brain's learning ability was extraordinary. He could learn foreign languages just by memorizing dictionaries.
The fat man said dejectedly, "Forget it, forget it. Only your weird brain can get into Yu Lei International. The rest of us brothers all failed. You have to uphold the dignity of men, you're the last hope!"
"What, no more men inside?" Yang Chen asked.
"Who would spend their free time researching specialized French and Spanish vocabulary for T-shaped underwear?" The fat man shook his head. "I think there are fewer than five women left, plus you, there might not be more than five people in total!"
Yang Chen rubbed his head in frustration. He didn't actually find the test that difficult. After hearing the fat man's words, he felt he had written too well and should have intentionally made a few mistakes. Otherwise, his score would be too conspicuous, which wasn't his intention.
The fat man sighed for a while, then patted Yang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Alright, I'm going to have a few drinks with the other guys who didn't make it. Otherwise, we'll all go crazy!"
With that, he walked to the parking lot with a few other men who looked equally unhappy and regretful.
Yang Chen walked back to the exam hall slowly, feeling a bit depressed. Sure enough, there were only three young and attractive women left inside, plus himself, making a total of four people!
As soon as Yang Chen entered, Mo Qianyi and the other Yu Lei International staff members all gave him strange looks, as if they were staring at a monster.
Mo Qianyi, who had seen many things, quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Yang. You are the only male candidate who has made it to the final interview, and you scored the highest in the foreign language test, achieving a perfect score."
Hearing Mo Qianyi naturally use the respectful "Mr.," Yang Chen realized he had accidentally shown off a bit too much. His German and Italian skills had left these women amazed.
He smiled awkwardly, sat down, and waited for the final interview.
Since there were only four candidates left, Mo Qianyi didn't use a microphone this time. She smiled and said, "The four of you who passed the difficult foreign language test are clearly very capable. In the final interview, we will test your understanding of the fashion industry and your appreciation skills.
As you know, our Yu Lei International fashion designs change significantly every year, so identifying our company's clothing can be challenging for new employees.
In a moment, ten of our models will wear this year's new designs and present them to you. You have five minutes to select the one that is not designed and produced by Yu Lei International. Pay attention, it's the one not from our company! You only have one chance, and the correct choice will directly earn you a two-month trial contract."
Yang Chen frowned. To be honest, he wasn't too concerned about clothing, and his knowledge of fashion was limited. In the past, his clothes were always provided by a dedicated team, and he had never come into contact with other fashion brands.
At the same time, a curtain in the exam hall was slowly pulled back, and ten tall and slender young female models walked forward, standing in front of the four candidates, radiating elegance.
The three female candidates all showed looks of amazement. Women have a natural love for beauty, and seeing the ten different and stylish outfits, they all had their own thoughts and began to examine them carefully.
Yang Chen first scanned the curves of the ten models, then looked at their clothes.
The ten models wore a variety of outfits, including leopard print suits, lace dresses, tulle skirts, strapless pink dresses, and elegant business suits. None of them had any visible brand marks.
When Yang Chen saw the last model, he was initially stunned, then he wrote down his answer on the paper without hesitation.
Five minutes passed quickly. Mo Qianyi clapped her hands, and an assistant immediately collected the four cards and handed them to her.
After a brief look, Mo Qianyi showed a hint of surprise, then looked at Yang Chen with a mix of amusement and curiosity, smiling and said, "The results are in. On behalf of all Yu Lei International staff, I warmly welcome our new colleague, Mr. Yang Chen."
After saying that, she led the applause, and the other female employees, who were curious about the result, also clapped happily.
The other three female candidates clearly couldn't accept it. One of them, displeased, asked, "Examiner, can you tell us the correct answer?"
Mo Qianyi gestured for everyone to be quiet, then smiled at the female candidate and looked at Yang Chen, saying, "Mr. Yang, please share your thoughts on the correct answer."
Although he didn't care much about what others thought, he didn't want to embarrass his future boss in front of everyone. Yang Chen sighed, pointed to the last model, and said, "I chose her."
The other three candidates were clearly stunned, then they looked again at the last model.
The model was wearing a bohemian-style European classical long dress. Due to the complexity and difficulty of bohemian-style clothing, with various fringes and accessories requiring careful selection, and the free, flowing, and mysterious aura of this ancient Gypsy-style clothing, it was not something modern women could easily handle. This long dress had always been unpopular.
But it was precisely this obvious long dress that the three female candidates had quickly ruled out. They couldn't believe that such a significant oversight would appear in an exam that had given them such a difficult foreign language test. They all thought it was a trap!
Yang Chen ignored the three women's surprise and regret, and explained calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, the bohemian-style long dress worn by the 10th model is made by an ancient Italian workshop. The corset and the crystal fringes on the skirt are all made from genuine crystal. The diamond patterns on the neckline are also genuine South African diamonds. I think, although Yu Lei International is one of the top ten fashion brands in the country, it wouldn't use so many high-quality natural crystals and diamonds to make such a dress."
This time, not only the three female candidates, but even the Yu Lei International staff present showed looks of disbelief. They had thought Yang Chen could only see that the retro long dress was expensive, but they didn't expect him to know the dress's origin so clearly!
What no one in the room knew was that Yang Chen was secretly delighted. The designer of this dress was the old man who had specially made his formal wear. He had worn it for so many years; how could he not recognize such a style and such luxury? No one in the world knew this person's style better than he did!
Looking at the elegant and noble bohemian-style long dress, Yang Chen's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, and he silently asked, "Ron, you old man who refuses to wear glasses, are you doing well now..."
