56: Found a treasure
“Next student, it's your turn.”
Su Jing couldn't help but take another look at Ye Xi; she was truly beautiful, an impeccable kind of beauty, which would add many impression points.
As long as this child didn't make any major mistakes, she had a good chance of getting the job.
The others also looked over, wanting to know more about this exceptionally beautiful girl who made even fairies feel ashamed.
However, Ye Xi's next words left them stunned.
Hey, hey, hey, just because you're beautiful doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!
“My name is Ye Xi, introduction complete.”
After saying that, Ye Xi sat down again.
“Do you have anything else to introduce?”
Su Jing asked again, deciding to give her another chance.
“No,” Ye Xi shook her head.
At this moment, the entire room was in an uproar; would she be kicked out for speaking like that?
“This beautiful girl is very pretty, but her brain doesn't seem to work very well.”
“Exactly, the boss is watching, she should give the boss some face.”
“Isn't this slapping the boss in the face?”
Some girls whispered to each other; Li Xuening heard it all, but she wasn't disappointed.
In her eyes, Ye Xi's behavior was a sign of being extraordinary.
Due to the commotion, Li Xingyu, who was listening to music with headphones and just going through the motions, also looked over.
That glance made his jaw drop; wasn't this the invincible beautiful girl who had beaten him up before?
Ye Xi smiled and met his gaze.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you so surprised about? I've been here for so long, and you're only noticing me now. If you dare to bother me again, I'll dismantle your car.
“Sister, her?”
Li Xuening patted Li Xingyu's shoulder and whispered, “It's fine.”
Li Xuening lightly tapped the table, her voice stern as she said, “Silence.”
“We've all read your resumes in advance, and there's nothing much to introduce in a self-introduction, so let's move on to the next question.”
Hearing Li Xuening's words, the other girls stared at each other in wide-eyed surprise.
This is acceptable? In other places, she might have been directly thrown out.
“Alright, now for the next question: what is your original intention for coming to this job?” Su Jing continued to ask the girls sitting below.
Immediately after, there was another round of speeches.
“To realize personal ideals, for the development of the motherland…”
“To serve society.”
“To have a happy and fulfilling family…”
Everyone spoke with conviction, making grand statements, even going as far as to say they wanted to help the boss live a good life sooner.
Ye Xi was a little disdainful; how hypocritical.
“This beautiful student, it's your turn again, please make the most of this opportunity.” Su Jing looked at Ye Xi with a smile.
Ye Xi stood up again, her voice clear and strong.
“I don't have such grand ideals as everyone else. I came here to find a partner and to make money.”
“The less work, the better; the more money, the better. And I need many opportunities to slack off, balancing work and rest.”
“My speech is complete, thank you everyone.”
Ye Xi bowed slightly and sat down again.
The entire room was silent once more.
Su Jing was silent for a moment. Although everyone thought the same, how dare you say it out loud? You're truly amazing.
“Boss, this person?”
Su Jing looked at Li Xuening, trying to get her opinion.
Li Xuening pointed at Ye Xi and slowly said, “This student spoke well. Finding a job is indeed for making money, and I don't think anyone is here for so-called life ideals.”
“Our company does not need sycophants, flatterers, and even more, we do not allow nepotism.”
When she mentioned nepotism, Li Xuening felt a little ashamed.
She cleared her throat twice and added, “Our company needs innovative talents; we need efficiency. If you complete your tasks ahead of time, you can be idle, and I will not say anything more. That's all.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Xuening, even Li Xingyu and Su Jing looked at her. How could she be so easy to talk to?
Ye Xi chuckled inwardly; everything was within her expectations.
She did this to test Li Xuening's tolerance for her.
When you truly like someone, even if they do something incorrectly, you will try every means to find excuses for them. Ye Xi deeply understood this principle.
“Next, our company frequently interfaces with international multinational companies, so we will test your English proficiency.”
After saying that, Su Jing turned on the projector.
Everyone looked up and saw the screen filled with dense English text, a large part of which consisted of proper nouns.
Unless one was deeply involved in this industry, they wouldn't recognize it all.
“Please read and translate these materials.”
“Alright, let's start in the order we had before.”
As Su Jing finished speaking, everyone felt a bit challenged; this was not so easy.
The job application did indeed state proficiency in English and other languages, but no one expected such a high level of proficiency.
Normally, job seekers seeing words like 'proficient' on a job application would assume a basic understanding was enough.
This time, not as many people spoke up; many chose to abstain, though there were some capable individuals.
“This chip is equipped with the most advanced cutting-edge technology, manufactured using a 1pm lithography machine. Compared to TSMC's 3nm EUV process, its performance is increased by 3600 times, and energy consumption is reduced by 99%… In short, this is the technological crystallization of all humanity.”
Hearing Lin Xin Xin's excellent translation, Ye Xi also applauded with the others.
My wife's family business is so great; it actually broke the enemy's chip blockade. With such low power consumption, if applied to mobile phones, wouldn't one charge last three months? Our country is mighty!
Amidst the applause, Lin Xin Xin sat back down in her chair.
As she sat down, she even gave Ye Xi a challenging look.
In Lin Xin Xin's view, the previous two times, Ye Xi had resorted to opportunism. This time, you either know it or you don't. How can you be opportunistic now?
“This student, it's your turn.”
Seeing the new English text on the screen, Ye Xi felt a bit troubled. She didn't want to show off, but she had no choice.
If she couldn't translate it and still got the position, in everyone's eyes, this recruitment would be a complete scam.
If someone were to make a fuss online, it would cause huge reputational damage to the entire company.
Ye Xi smiled and said to Su Jing, “I'll do my best.”
Seeing Ye Xi's unconfident tone, Lin Xin Xin felt a little smug.
…
“It's too fluent!” everyone exclaimed.
One should know that Lin Xin Xin occasionally stumbled during her translation.
This passage was even more difficult than the previous one, yet Ye Xi answered everything directly as if reciting from memory, without a single error.
Of course, it wasn't completely over yet; she then directly translated this passage into seven languages.
“I've made a fool of myself, please forgive any mistakes.” Ye Xi smiled and sat down.
Li Xuening stared at her with wide eyes, truly having found a treasure.
