Chapter 8: Chapter 6 True Man Model
Entering Yimena requires a degree from a prestigious university, that's a strict rule!
The man spoke with a hint of pride, clearly thinking Su Chen was a simpleton who didn't even know to prepare a resume for the interview, perhaps he hadn't even attended college.
If he could edge out Su Chen, maybe he would have a chance, after all, he had graduated from a prestigious university in Huaxia Country!
"Oh right, our company does require educational qualifications, may I ask which university did you graduate from, sir?" Although it felt wrong to burn bridges, Su Chen clearly didn't meet Yimena's employee standards. Recruiting him could cause trouble and she couldn't bear the blame from the CEO.
"What university…" Su Chen scratched his head upon hearing the question, where had he attended university?
But previously, when on a mission abroad, he had saved a university president who had given him a graduation certificate out of gratitude.
What was the name of that university?
"Technical University! Yes, that's it, Technical University!" Su Chen remembered after thinking for a while.
"Technical University? Did you hear that? He said Technical University. Dude, don't you know that the minimum educational requirement at Yimena Company is an undergraduate degree from a key university?"
"Key university? I suppose…" Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly.
To be honest, he didn't actually know if Technical University counted as a key university.
"Suppose? I know all the Technical Universities in Huaxia, and none of them are key universities. Tell me, which Technical University did you attend?"
"It's actually called Massachusetts Institute of Technology," Su Chen recalled and stated.
"Haha, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I've never heard of it, must be some low-tier community college. Wait, what? Massachusetts Institute of Technology!" Suddenly, the man's laughter froze, and his face turned to shock.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Certainly not a national key university...
Because it's a world-class university!
After a brief shock, the man burst into laughter again.
"Dude, you sure can talk big. You say you graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I might as well say I graduated from Harvard!"
Clearly, the man didn't believe Su Chen. After all, if he really graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, how could he just be interviewing for a minor sales position?
Huang Yilin was worried about how to send Su Chen away and after hearing his claim, she frowned slightly, "Sir, lying is a big no-no in job applications."
"I did not lie," said Su Chen.
"Well, if you say you graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, then your English must be excellent. I have an English test here, if you can pass it, I'll believe you." Su Chen turned and whispered something to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue was shocked and whispered, "Director, that test is meant for interviewing vice-presidents, are you sure..."
"Just do as I say."
"Oh..."
Soon, a test paper was placed in front of Su Chen.
Upon seeing the test, Su Chen's eyes widened.
Seeing Su Chen's reaction, Huang Yilin's mouth curled into a mocking smile.
This is an interview for a vice-president position, if you can solve it, it'd be a miracle.
Seeing the questions, Su Chen knew right away that Director Huang was making it hard for him. He was only applying for a sales assistant, using a LEVEL 8 English test which wasn't even for a translator's position.
He also felt quite annoyed. He had kindly solved a huge problem, just asking for an interview opportunity, yet they were making it so difficult for him.
"Can't do it?" Huang Yilin saw Su Chen staying still and asked with a smile.
Su Chen also smiled and said, "Of course I can do it, but Director Huang, are you recruiting for a sales assistant or a translator?"
Even at this point, he still acts tough...
Inside, Huang Yilin shook her head and said, "You may leave. It's impossible for you to complete it."
Su Chen's lips curved in a smile, "Director Huang, what if I do complete it?
"If you can complete it, I'll give my job as the HR director to you."
"Alright, that's what you said!" Su Chen picked up a pen and quickly began.
For a test meant to take an hour, Su Chen completed it in just fifteen minutes.
Seeing how fast Su Chen finished, Huang Yilin was disdainful. She knew firsthand how difficult the test was, as she could only score around forty.
If Su Chen worked that fast, he most likely just guessed randomly.
But when Huang Yilin started checking the answers, she was completely dumbfounded.
Everything was... correct!
No, that's impossible!
Huang Yilin was incredibly shocked. If Su Chen really had such ability, why would he need to apply for a minor sales assistant position?
However, the result was just that.
Eventually, Huang Yilin found one mistake and relaxed immediately, "Sorry, Mr. Su, there is one mistake in your answers, so, you didn't pass the test."
Although it seemed excessive to dismiss Su Chen over one mistake, she had made a big bet with him.
If Su Chen really answered everything correctly, she couldn't genuinely give him her director position, could she?
Even if she was willing, the CEO wouldn't agree.
"I'm not wrong, your answer is incorrect," Su Chen shook his head.
"Hehe, my answer's incorrect? Mr. Su, this is the official answer key." Huang Yilin naturally didn't believe her answer could be wrong.
"If you don't believe me, you can check online."
Although Huang Yilin didn't believe the answer she had checked multiple times could be incorrect, to convince Su Chen, she still checked online.
Unexpectedly, it turned out the official answer was indeed incorrect.
This... Huang Yilin didn't know what to do. Did she really have to give up her director position?
Just then, a young girl walked in.
The girl said to Huang Yilin, "Director, the CEO has an emergency and can't make it, the next part of the interview will be conducted over the phone."
Su Chen recognized this girl; she was the young lady who had led him here.
"Sister Qian," Su Chen greeted Tang Qian.
"You can do it, our CEO's interviews are very strict." Tang Qian gave Su Chen an encouraging look.
Su Chen was deeply moved, Sister Qian was so nice, unlike Director Huang who was making things difficult for him.
Tang Qian's arrival indeed gave Huang Yilin a way out.
She immediately proceeded with the phone interview for about fifteen candidates.
"You all know, our company makes women's clothing. As sales personnel, having basic taste is essential. So the next part of the interview is very simple. Here are ten finished products, pick the worst and the best one and explain your reasons." Huang Yilin led everyone into a showroom.
The showroom contained ten models, each wearing a dress.
It had to be said, the Yimena designers were of a high standard, each dress looked quite beautiful.
What was most surprising was that the models wearing these ten dresses were not mannequins, but real people!
