Chapter 1448 Everyone Amazed
"Mr. Chen didn't fail; he must have answered beautifully."
Bai Ling said earnestly.
Bai Ling's words made Xu Ya pause. He sighed inwardly.
"This guy is too strange!"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted.
Everyone looked over: "Xiao Die, what did you find so funny? Hurry and share it with us."
All the bright faces leaned in. Upon seeing the content of the exam paper, they burst into laughter, shaking with mirth.
"What are you looking at that's so funny?" Bai Ling and Xu Ya also came closer.
"Look quickly!"
The woman called Xiao Die also brought over the exam paper.
Bai Ling and Xu Ya couldn't help but laugh as well.
The question on the paper was: Facing a group crisis, what should you do as a public relations officer?
This question was simple, considered basic common sense for a public relations officer.
However, beneath it were written several large characters: My grandpa, Zhang Xiaolong, is a shareholder of your Huang Hai Group!
This wasn't answering a question; it was clearly showing off one's grandfather!
"What's so amusing?" Suddenly, the department head, Hua Mei, also looked over.
The exam paper then landed in front of Department Head Hua Mei. Suppressing their laughter, everyone said, "Department Head Hua, take a look, this is hilarious."
Hua Mei frowned, her expression remaining relatively natural. Amidst the laughter, she collected the exam paper.
Everyone was taken aback, unsure of Department Head Hua Mei's intentions.
Was she planning to keep Zhang Xiaolong?
But Hua Mei didn't seem like someone who would curry favor with the powerful.
"Let me tell you, this Zhang Xiaolong is the sole heir of the Zhang family. Zhang Xiaolong's grandfather is a shareholder of our Huang Hai Group. Zhang Xiaolong is here to find a wife. Whoever becomes Zhang Xiaolong's wife has a high chance of becoming the matriarch of the Zhang family in the future," Hua Mei said with a smile. "Our public relations department is full of talented individuals; why would we lack a public relations elite? As women, I personally prefer you to find a good life partner."
"Of course, I do owe the Zhang family a favor."
Everyone thoroughly agreed with Hua Mei's words.
"Since no one has any objections, Zhang Xiaolong will take one spot. Is there anyone else whose answers are decent? You can bring them over for me to see." Hua Mei smiled gently, as if bathed in spring breeze.
"I have one here!"
"Mine looks pretty good too."
Three exam papers were placed before Hua Mei. After reviewing them, she commented with four words: "Mediocre and passable."
"Anything else?"
"Yes!"
Bai Ling stepped forward and placed her exam paper before Hua Mei.
"Bai Ling, even if you value your junior schoolmate so much, you can't be this biased."
"That's right. Your junior schoolmate's exam paper is in eight languages, the most difficult among our test questions."
"Bai Ling might have really taken a liking to this little sweetheart this time. Department Head Hua, you must help Bai Ling!"
Several women teased Bai Ling.
"Oh? Is this the most difficult one?"
Hua Mei was also surprised: "Bai Ling, you can't play favorites."
Bai Ling said earnestly: "Department Head, he answered really well."
"Let me see just how well he answered to be praised so highly by the discerning Bai Ling."
Hua Mei said in a teasing tone.
"Department Head Hua..."
"Alright, alright, bring the paper over for me to see."
Hearing this, Bai Ling immediately placed the exam paper before Hua Mei.
Bai Ling added, not forgetting to say: "The first three are languages you should know, Department Head Hua. There are no grammatical errors in these three languages. As for the fourth, it's a minority language from the country of Javan. As for the remaining few, I know some are minority languages, but I don't recognize some of them."
Hua Mei picked up the exam paper and read it carefully. After finishing, she was greatly surprised: "He truly is a language prodigy!"
Huh?
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Hua Mei: "Department Head Hua, could it be that that young man really knows eight languages?"
Hua Mei gave a wry smile: "Besides the three common languages, I only recognize two of them. Including the one Bai Ling knows, that makes six languages, proving at least that this young man knows six languages. As for the other two languages, I don't recognize them either."
"However, judging by the other six languages, this person named Chen Yiming should have answered them all correctly."
"Wow!"
A clamor erupted all around, and everyone began to discuss.
"Good heavens, this guy knows eight languages!"
"I never expected this guy to be a complete genius!"
"It seems that being a top graduate from Harvard is not just a reputation."
"We have all underestimated this fellow."
Hearing the surrounding comments, Bai Ling held her head high, feeling even happier than if she herself were being praised.
"Department Head Hua, can he pass the assessment?"
Bai Ling asked cautiously.
She knew that whether Chen Yiming could pass depended on Hua Mei's decision, as the final say rested with her.
"Although he is excellent, our department is recruiting for public relations, not translation," Hua Mei hesitated.
Bai Ling quickly said, "Department Head Hua, quickly look at his resume. He is truly excellent. He is also a top graduate from Harvard University and is proficient in finance. Doesn't our Huang Hai Group have many financial clients he can handle?"
Saying this, Bai Ling placed Chen Xuan's resume before Hua Mei.
Hua Mei shook her head: "No!"
It wasn't that she looked down on Chen Xuan, but another spot had already been internally decided. That person was Pan Meili's younger brother, Pan Ping. In fact, this interview was just a formality from the start.
"Department Head Hua... Fine then..."
Bai Ling showed a hint of disappointment and slowly retrieved Chen Xuan's resume. The others were also filled with disappointment. Chen Xuan was handsome and talented. Perhaps only Xu Ya was not interested in Chen Xuan.
Just then, Department Head Hua suddenly noticed the photo on Chen Xuan's resume. The familiar face made her exclaim, "Wait!"
Bai Ling was startled and quickly stopped: "Department Head Hua, what is it?"
Hua Mei didn't say much more. She directly snatched the resume from Bai Ling's hand and brought it closer.
On the resume was Chen Xuan's color photograph. Hua Mei recognized at a glance that this man was the life-saver who had rescued her during a car accident not long ago.
She had been wanting to find Chen Xuan, but with tens of millions of people in the capital, she hadn't been able to find him.
"Department Head Hua, what happened?" Bai Ling sensed the change in Hua Mei's expression and asked softly.
Hua Mei regained her calm expression and smiled faintly: "I've just reviewed Mr. Chen Yiming's resume and find this gentleman to be excellent. He is not only a financial expert but also a language expert, which would be of great benefit to our public relations department. I have decided to keep Mr. Chen!"
Joy fell from the sky!
Bai Ling was completely bewildered: "Department Head Hua, you just said..."
