"Beautiful director, calm down first. I didn't mean to insult you," Shen Lang said with a flattering expression.
This finally calmed Liu Xiaoxiao down. She let out a playful smile and thought to herself, "Now you're scared, aren't you? You've offended me, and you won't get off easy!"
"Hahaha, it was just a little misunderstanding. As the saying goes, 'No fight, no friendship.' We're friends now," Shen Lang said with a playful smile.
Liu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. How could his words be so disgusting?
To maintain her goddess-like demeanor, Liu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows and said seriously, " Hmph, I can give you one chance, but please show some respect and keep your distance."
Shen Lang chuckled, "Beautiful Director, please go easy on me during the afternoon assessment. Oh, I mean, please give me some special consideration!"
Liu Xiaoxiao sneered inwardly. "My assessment? You think you can pass? Dream on!"
In her mind, Shen Lang was definitely no good. The girls in the PR department couldn't be tarnished by someone like him.
"Stop wasting my time. You're no longer an employee of this company. Please leave immediately." Liu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly.
"Alright." Shen Lang shrugged helplessly. Were all career women so aloof?
If he ended up with such a director in the future, life would be tough.
Regardless, Shen Lang really wanted this job. He'd have to improvise during the interview.
After leaving the Lingya International Building, Shen Lang wandered around outside for a while and had a quick meal.
At 2 PM, Shen Lang arrived at the director's office as scheduled.
The office was decorated in a simple style, with a few pots of fresh plants on the desk and a fish tank with a few goldfish beside it.
The curtains were open, and sunlight streamed in, making the entire office bright and airy.
There were only two people in the office: Liu Xiaoxiao and the previous interviewer, Lin Caier.
"Director Liu, this is Mr. Shen," " Lin Cairen introduced from the side.
"I know," Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Lang and said expressionlessly.
This made Shen Lang feel a bit of pressure.
Before he could speak, Liu Xiaoxiao said, "The assessment will begin now. Lin Assistant, go fetch the company's two models."
"Alright."
Lin Cairen nodded and left the director's office.
"Beautiful director, what is the interview assessing?" Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.
Liu Xiaoxiao replied indifferently, "You'll find out soon enough."
Soon, two stunningly beautiful models entered the director's office, each wearing sexy, elegant, lightweight summer outerwear.
Looking at the two beautiful models in front of him, Shen Lang was stunned. What kind of assessment was this? Could it be assessing men's abilities in that area?
"Mr. Shen, although our company, Lingya International, isn't particularly commercialized, it still has a high profile. Since you've come for the interview, you should be familiar with our company's operational model, right?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked with a faint smile.
"I'm not familiar with it." " Shen Lang shook his head decisively.
"You..."
Liu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She hadn't expected Shen Lang to give such a response. What kind of weirdo was this guy? He hadn't prepared anything and dared to come to the company for an interview?
"Mr. Shen, our company specializes in fashion," Lin Caier reminded him, her expression a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Shen Lang suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now. So, Director Liu, you wouldn't be asking me to design fashion, would you? Sorry, but I'm not qualified for something so high-end."
Liu Xiaoxiao shot Shen Lang a disdainful glance. Designing fashion? Haha, if you had that kind of ability, you could fly to the moon.
This guy probably doesn't know anything. With such a careless attitude, he still wants to be the PR manager?
In order to get Shen Lang eliminated quickly, Liu Xiaoxiao said bluntly, "The clothes these two models are wearing were designed by our company, and they are the only two pieces from our company that made it to the Paris Fashion Week summer collection. Although they ranked low at Paris Fashion Week, they are top-notch in China. These two summer collections have some flaws. My evaluation is simple: please provide appropriate feedback on the two summer collections and point out their flaws."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Caier, standing beside her, opened her mouth in surprise. Wasn't this evaluation just making things difficult for him? Even professionals in the fashion industry would find it hard to point out the strengths and weaknesses of a collection, let alone an outsider like him.
Since Shen Lang had been watching romantic action films at the company earlier, even though it wasn't intentional, Liu Xiaoxiao had no good feelings toward him and couldn't wait to get rid of him. She decided to significantly increase the difficulty of the assessment.
However, to Liu Xiaoxiao's surprise, Shen Lang didn't show any signs of difficulty. Instead, he seemed very relaxed and unconcerned as he examined the two models.
"Hmm, the design is so average. Ms. Liu, I guess the fashion designers at Lingya International aren't that great either. No wonder they can't win any awards," Shen Lang said with a smile.
"Is that so? Since Mr. Shen has such a discerning eye, why don't you go ahead and critique these two outfits?"
Liu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of contempt. With a casual remark like "not very good," did this guy really think that the company had hired a million-dollar-a-year designer for nothing?
Shen Lang knew that Liu Xiaoxiao was trying to put him on the spot, and couldn't help but laugh. "Director Liu, I'm just applying for the position of public relations manager. I don't need to concern myself with fashion design, do I?"
"Our company's public relations department often has to travel, even abroad, for large-scale fashion exchanges. How can you not understand some fashion knowledge?" Liu Xiaoxiao said with a light laugh.
This girl was really good with words. Shen Lang had no choice but to say, "Alright, then I'll share my personal opinion."
"Great!"
Liu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, curious to hear what Shen Lang would say.
Lin Caier, standing nearby, was already feeling sorry for Shen Lang. Being targeted like this by Director Liu, his elimination was all but certain.
"Let's start with this outfit for the fair-skinned girl. This summer outfit clearly follows a minimalist style, drawing inspiration from Jlsader's minimalist elements to create a new minimalist aesthetic. The exaggerated, oversized collar adds a unique touch, but it still can't escape the framework of Jlsader's design philosophy. At first glance, this summer outfit might give the Paris Fashion Week judges a fresh impression, but upon closer inspection, the borrowed elements are too numerous, so it won't secure a high ranking."
"Now let's talk about this outfit. This outfit stands out through its color coordination, with a distinct personality. It combines colorful checkered patterns, colors, and the layered elements of a sari, blending campus-style elements with Eastern elements. While the multi-color patchwork is eye-catching, it lacks a design focal point. Versace introduced a similar color scheme in a sports dress five years ago, so this design lacks a certain level of novelty."
Shen Lang spoke at length, leaving Liu Xiaoxiao and Lin Caier speechless and completely dumbfounded.
Not only them, but even the two models were staring at Shen Lang with unusual expressions.
Shen Lang was using highly professional terminology, and he was speaking with reason and evidence, hitting the nail on the head! It even made one wonder if this guy had ever been a fashion designer before.
Liu Xiaoxiao, being the company's director, had decent mental resilience. She forced herself to suppress her shock, took a deep breath, and asked, "So, Mr. Shen, could you offer any suggestions on what needs to be improved in these two pieces of clothing for our company?"
