Chapter 1449 Passing the Assessment
"Did I say anything just now?"
"No, no!"
Bai Ling quickly replied, unspeakable joy in her eyes.
"Director Hua, if we keep Mr. Chen, and keep Mr. Chen, what about Pan Ping?" the woman in the purple shirt beside her said.
Her name was Bai Zi, a confidante of Pan Meili. Upon hearing that Hua Mei wanted to keep Chen Xuan, wouldn't Pan Ping's spot be gone?
"Let me see Pan Ping's test paper." Hua Mei frowned.
In that case, she could only follow the rules.
"This is Pan Ping's test paper." Bai Zi took out the test paper.
Pan Ping's test paper was similar to Zhang Xiaolong's, both relying on power and background.
Hua Mei was in a dilemma, only one of these two could stay.
How to choose?
Bai Zi did not forget to say, "Pan Ping is the younger brother of Deputy Minister Pan..."
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Pan Meili swaggered in.
Everyone frowned.
Pan Meili didn't even knock. Could this woman really want to snatch Hua Mei's position as director?
"Deputy Minister Pan, don't you have hands?"
Hua Mei's pretty face turned cold.
"Sorry, Director Hua, I forgot to knock. I'm truly sorry." Pan Meili smiled, but there was no apology on her face.
Hua Mei didn't say much more.
Pan Meili smiled and said, "Director Hua, time is almost up. It's time to announce who has passed the assessment. Do you know who passed?"
Hua Mei said, "Zhang Xiaolong, Chen Yiming! Go and announce it."
"Alright!"
Pan Meili agreed with a smile. As soon as she turned around, she froze. She suddenly turned back to look at Hua Mei: "Director Hua? Why isn't my Pan Ping there? Didn't we agree before..."
"I didn't agree to anything with you." Director Hua took out Pan Ping's test paper: "Look at what your brother's test paper looks like?"
Pan Meili didn't even dare to look. She knew that her brother was ignorant and only spent his days with female companions, learning makeup from beauty bloggers. He had no intention of learning public relations, so the test paper must have been a disaster.
"Director Hua, you can't go back on your word, can you?"
"Deputy Minister Pan, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly?"
Hua Mei stood up, and her imposing aura suddenly became extremely oppressive.
Pan Meili's expression changed.
She gritted her teeth and said, "My brother's answers weren't good, but how could this Chen Yiming pass?"
She couldn't compete with Zhang Xiaolong's connections, but she wasn't afraid of Chen Xuan.
Moreover, in her opinion, it was Chen Xuan who had stolen her family's spot.
The test questions were personally sent to Chen Xuan by Bai Zi. How could Chen Xuan pass such difficult questions?
"What if this Mr. Chen's test paper was answered very well? What price will you pay for your actions?" Hua Mei sneered.
If Chen Xuan's answers were just average, she wouldn't dare to say that.
"I..."
Pan Meili was actually intimidated by Hua Mei's aura.
She saw Bai Zi winking at her. She thought Bai Zi was telling her not to be scared. She thought Hua Mei was bluffing her, and said, "If he answers very well, I won't be Deputy Minister anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zi almost fainted.
"Good, you said it yourself!"
Hua Mei was overjoyed. Pan Meili always opposed her in the Public Relations Department, but due to the Pan family's influence, she had no good way to get rid of Pan Meili. Now Pan Meili was delivering herself.
It was truly heaven-sent!
She thanked Chen Xuan again in her heart. Chen Xuan had saved her last time, and this time he had indirectly helped her solve a problem. Chen Xuan was truly her lucky star.
"Deputy Minister Pan, this is Mr. Chen's test paper. You should open your eyes and see clearly!"
Hua Mei threw the test paper into Pan Meili's arms.
Pan Meili picked up the test paper and was stunned: "How is this possible? How can he know eight languages?"
Despite Pan Meili's arrogance, she was also very capable. She knew three foreign languages and had studied many foreign languages. Although she was not as proficient in eight foreign languages as Chen Xuan, she could recognize these eight languages.
"That's the fact."
"You cheated!"
"You don't believe it? Everyone here has seen it. If you don't believe it, you can ask Bai Zi." Hua Mei said with a smile.
Pan Meili immediately looked at Bai Zi, who whispered, "There was no cheating..."
Pan Meili's face instantly turned ashen.
Who would have thought that that kid knew eight languages!
"Deputy Minister Pan, do you have anything else to say? Are you still questioning me?" Hua Mei smiled.
This time, Pan Meili had nothing to say.
But Hua Mei still had something to say: "Deputy Minister Pan, as agreed, shouldn't you resign?"
"You... I understand!"
Pan Meili was so angry that she almost cried.
She thought she could easily control Hua Mei, but she didn't expect to lose both the woman and the war, and even her deputy minister position.
After saying that, Pan Meili quickly left, and Bai Zi hurriedly followed.
"It would be great if Deputy Minister Pan resigned!"
"If Deputy Minister Pan resigns, no one will threaten Director Hua's position anymore."
"This is really good news."
Hua Mei suddenly said, "Alright, alright..."
The surroundings immediately quieted down.
"Bai Ling, go and announce the list of those who passed the assessment today!" Hua Mei looked at Bai Ling and said.
"I'll go now."
Bai Ling immediately nodded and turned to walk out of the office.
The others also left chattering, their topics of discussion being the new colleagues Zhang Xiaolong and Chen Xuan.
Hua Mei sat in the quiet office: "I didn't expect to meet that guy at Huang Hai Group... Is this fate?"
"After our judges' assessment, we believe that Mr. Zhang Xiaolong and Mr. Chen Yiming have passed the assessment!"
In the conference room, Bai Ling announced the interview results!
Those who did not pass were all dejected, especially Pan Ping, who thought he had a sure thing, and found it unbelievable.
"Brother Yiming, I thought you failed, but I didn't expect you to pass the assessment too!"
Zhang Xiaolong was not surprised to pass the assessment. His family had already paved the way for him, using a huge favor. However, Chen Xuan's passing surprised Zhang Xiaolong greatly!
Knowing that Pan Ping was definitely eliminated, and Chen Xuan had taken the most difficult test questions.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolong's small, rolling eyes stared intently at Chen Xuan, as if trying to see through him: "Tell me quickly, are you pretending to be weak to trap the strong? Do you actually have strong backing?"
"The questions were so simple, isn't it normal for me to pass the assessment with my abilities?" Chen Xuan smiled.
"Normal? How is that normal?"
Zhang Xiaolong said, "Pan Ping's sister is the Deputy Minister of the Public Relations Department. Even he was eliminated. You didn't go through the back door, did you? Confess quickly!"
"I really didn't."
Chen Xuan shook his head.
Because this was a covert mission, and he was worried about exposure, he did not use any influence and passed the interview purely on his own strength. However, with Zhang Xiaolong saying this now, he also felt that it was not that simple.
Wasn't this interview too simple?
