Assessment of the Beautiful Director

"Miss Director, please calm down. I didn't mean to offend you..." Shen Lang wore a face full of appeasement.

Finally, Liu Xiaoxiao calmed down. A hint of playful smirk curved her lips as she thought, "Now you're scared, huh? Offending me won't lead to anything good for you!"

"Hahaha, just now was just a farce. There's a saying, 'No strife, no gain,' right? From now on, we're friends." Shen Lang grinned playfully.

Liu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Why did he have to say such nauseating things?

Maintaining her goddess-like demeanor, Liu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows slightly and said seriously, "Hmph, I can give you a chance, but please show some respect and keep your distance."

Shen Lang chuckled, "Miss Director, please go easy on me during this afternoon's assessment, uh, I mean, take good care of me!"

Liu Xiaoxiao sneered inwardly. Assessment by me? You think you can pass? Dream on!

In her mind, Shen Lang was definitely not a good person. The girls in the PR department shouldn't be tarnished by such a rogue.

"No need for idle talk. You're not an employee here, so please leave the company now," Liu Xiaoxiao said coldly.

"Alright." Shen Lang shrugged helplessly. Are all career women this aloof?

If he really had to deal with such a director in the future, life would be tough.

Anyway, Shen Lang really wanted this job. He would have to adapt to whatever came up during the interview.

Leaving the International Building of Lingya, Shen Lang wandered outside and had a quick meal.

At two in the afternoon, Shen Lang arrived as scheduled at the director's office.

The office was decorated simply, with several fresh potted plants on the desk and a fish tank with a few goldfish beside it.

With the curtains drawn open, sunlight poured in, making the entire office bright.

There were only two people in the office: Liu Xiaoxiao and the former examiner, Lin Caier.

"Director Liu, this is Mr. Shen," Lin Caier introduced from the side.

"I know," Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Lang and said expressionlessly.

Shen Lang suddenly felt a bit pressured.

Before he could speak, Liu Xiaoxiao said, "The assessment starts now. Assistant Lin, please bring the two models from the company."

"Okay."

Lin Caier nodded and left the director's office.

"Miss Director, may I ask what kind of assessment this interview is?" Shen Lang couldn't help asking.

Liu Xiaoxiao replied calmly, "You'll find out soon enough."

Before long, two hot-bodied female models walked into the director's office, each dressed in sexy and gorgeous summer coats.

Looking at the two beautiful models in front of him, Shen Lang was dumbfounded. What kind of assessment was this? Was it testing his abilities in a certain aspect of manhood?

"Mr. Shen, although our International is not a particularly commercial company, our visibility is quite high. Since you're here for the interview, you should understand how our company operates, right?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked with a faint smile.

"I don't understand," Shen Lang shook his head straightforwardly.

"You..."

Liu Xiaoxiao was speechless. She didn't expect such a reply from Shen Lang. What kind of weirdo was he? He came to apply for a job in the company without preparing anything?

"Mr. Shen, our company deals in fashion..." Lin Caier reminded with a somewhat amused expression.

Shen Lang suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now. So, Director Liu, are you asking me to design fashion? Sorry, I'm not capable of such high-end work."

Liu Xiaoxiao cast a disdainful glance at Shen Lang. Design fashion? Heh, if he had that ability, he could soar to the skies.

This guy probably doesn't know anything. Acting so nonchalantly, and he still wants to be the PR manager?

To ensure Shen Lang would be eliminated quickly, Liu Xiaoxiao didn't mince words. "The clothes worn by these two models are designed by our company and are the only two entries selected for the Paris Fashion Week summer collection. Although their ranking in Paris Fashion Week was not high, they are considered top-notch in China. These two summer outfits have their flaws. My assessment is simple: Next, Mr. Shen, please give appropriate comments on these two summer outfits and point out their shortcomings."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Caier beside her opened her mouth wide. Wasn't this assessment too difficult? Even professionals in fashion find it hard to comment on the pros and cons of fashion, let alone a layman.

"Because Shen Lang had been caught watching romantic action movies in the company before, albeit unintentionally, Liu Xiaoxiao had no favorable impression of him and was eager to quickly dismiss him. Therefore, she decided to significantly raise the difficulty of the assessment.

However, to Liu Xiaoxiao's surprise, Shen Lang didn't show any signs of being embarrassed. Instead, he appeared relaxed and indifferent, examining the two models.

"Tsk tsk, the design is so mediocre. Director Liu, it seems like the fashion designers at Lingya International are not that great, no wonder they couldn't win any awards," Shen Lang chuckled.

"Is that so? Since Mr. Shen has such discerning taste, why don't you quickly critique these two outfits?" Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with disdain. To dismiss them with just a casual "mediocre," did he think the company hired million-dollar-a-year designers to do nothing?

Shen Lang knew Liu Xiaoxiao was putting him on the spot but couldn't help smiling, "Director Liu, I'm just applying for the PR Manager position. I don't need to deal with fashion design matters, do I?"

"Our PR department often needs to go out, even abroad, and participate in large-scale fashion exchanges. How can you manage without understanding some knowledge of fashion?" Liu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly.

This girl really knew how to talk. Shen Lang had no choice but to say, "Alright, then I'll give my personal opinion."

"Okay!"

Liu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows slightly, beginning to anticipate what unsophisticated words Shen Lang might come up with.

Lin Caier beside her was already silently mourning for Shen Lang. With Director Liu targeting him like this, his elimination seemed almost certain.

"Let's start with this outfit worn by the fair-skinned girl. This summer outfit clearly embodies a minimalist style, borrowing elements from Jil Sander's minimalism to create a new minimalist aesthetic. The exaggerated huge collar also gives it a unique touch, but it still can't escape the influence of Jil Sander's design philosophy. At first glance, this summer outfit might give the judges at Paris Fashion Week a fresh impression, but upon closer inspection, it borrows too many elements, hence it can't achieve a high ranking."

"Now, about this other outfit, it stands out through its color combination, with a distinct personality. It combines colorful checks, layers of color, and organza, bridging between campus and oriental elements. While the multi-color patchwork can attract attention, it lacks a design focus. Versace had already introduced this color style in sport skirts five years ago, so this design lacks novelty."

Shen Lang went on at length. Liu Xiaoxiao and Lin Caier were dumbfounded, staring at him in complete disbelief.

Not only them, even the two models looked at Shen Lang with a strange gaze.

Shen Lang effortlessly used high-level professional terms and made reasoned arguments that hit the nail on the head! It even made people suspect if he had been a fashion designer before.

After all, Liu Xiaoxiao was the director of the company, and her mental resilience was relatively good. She suppressed her inner shock, took a deep breath, and asked, "So... Mr. Shen, do you have any suggestions for improvements on these two outfits from our company?"
