Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 23: One Step Ahead

Yang Chen glanced up and saw Mo Qian Ni, with her charming figure, had already walked to the center opposite the crowd, holding a small microphone.

With just a cursory glance, Yang Chen understood why the fat guy and those men were so infatuated with Mo Qian Ni.

She was indeed a beautiful woman, slender figure and delicate face. If one had to compare, in Yang Chen's view, she was on par with Rose, albeit Rose exuded more wildness and charm, while the present Mo Qian Ni radiated more of a confident and intelligent intellectual beauty.

Clearly, after playing enough with those common men, it was exceptionally difficult for them to resist a standout among white-collar women like her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please keep quiet," Mo Qian Ni smiled formally, her voice clear and pleasant like a silver bell. "Next up is the written test on various languages for everyone, after all, public relations work will face all kinds of clients. For Yu Lei International, international clients are quite common. If communication cannot be conducted well in future work to benefit the company, it will be a very irresponsible behavior.

According to the information provided by everyone here, we have prepared six foreign language test papers in English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian.

Later, everyone can choose two languages based on their expertise. Applicants who score above 60% in the exam will enter the final round of interviews.

So, please carefully fill out the papers we will distribute. You will have one hour. Thank you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Qian Ni signaled to several beautiful female assistants beside her. The four assistants simultaneously walked to the four corners and began distributing the test papers from the edges to the center.

For the majority present, the languages they knew were mostly English, which they learned from childhood or during their schooling, and another language similar to English like Spanish, or relatively simple like Japanese. So when it came to choosing the papers, the English and Spanish ones were quickly taken off the table.

Yang Chen sat in a relatively central position. When the assistant asked what papers he needed, Yang Chen was somewhat puzzled about what to choose. Finally, he awkwardly smiled and said, "Anything will do, just give me two."

The beautiful assistant was visibly stunned. This man was either foolish or truly formidable. Could he know all six foreign languages?! But she naturally didn't say much. Out of a mischievous impulse and to deliberately challenge what she perceived as an arrogant man, the assistant picked German and Italian from the bottom, two languages that no one had chosen before!

Although this exam only required a score of 60%, the lower the demand, the higher the difficulty of the papers.

Yang Chen didn't care at all. After receiving the papers, he signed his name and began filling them out swiftly.

The atmosphere in the examination room became somewhat tense after five minutes. The main reason was that several male candidates felt quite unhappy.

The reason being that most of the exam questions were about women's cosmetics and intimate clothing, knowledge that even if spoken in Chinese, they might not understand—they knew how to play women, but they didn't understand women!

As specialized terms for cosmetic ingredients and professional design terms for women's breast stickers and bras continued to appear on the exam paper, the men went crazy!

In less than ten minutes, seven or eight men in the room immediately put down their pens and walked out. Before leaving, they greedily glanced at Mo Qian Ni's provocative figure, then left the examination room with some reluctance.

The fat man sitting next to Yang Chen was obviously sweating profusely, with a headache, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

After fifteen minutes passed, Yang Chen frowned as he looked at the paper and raised his hand. "Um, examiner, I have a question."

Mo Qian Ni maintained her formal smile, nodded at Yang Chen, and gracefully walked to him. "Sir, what's your question?"

Mo Qian Ni's close presence exuded a significant amount of charm typical of a career woman. The faint scent of Chanel perfume on her, coupled with her refined facial features and intellectual demeanor, was radiant.

The fat man who had been struggling beside them had long since put down his pen, staring dumbfoundedly at Mo Qian Ni, swallowing hard.

Perhaps because he had seen too many beautiful women, now with Rose, Li Jingjing, and his own wife, Lin Ruoxi, who was even more exceptional than Mo Qian Ni, Yang Chen's gaze towards Mo Qian Ni was not particularly fervent.

He pointed at his German exam paper and said, "There's a mistake in this option, 'vereiturn' should be 'vereitern' when you were setting the paper. In fact, just using the latter part 'eitern' is enough to easily cause ulcers in women's genital area, simple yet accurate."

Yang Chen's tone was not deliberately lowered. Although he spoke casually, after Yang Chen finished, the people around him clearly cast surprised glances. A few girls even blushed, feeling it was too ambiguous for a man to talk about women's intimate parts in public.

Mo Qian Ni was also taken aback. She hadn't expected the issue pointed out by Yang Chen to be a mistake in the paper, not his. After giving Yang Chen a somewhat different look, she signaled to the assistant beside her to immediately check online.

Soon, through searching in a German dictionary, the assistant informed Mo Qian Ni that indeed the word "ulcer" had been misspelled due to negligence.

With this revelation, the perception of Yang Chen among those around him immediately changed. From suspicion and astonishment, it quickly turned into various forms of admiration and jealousy. Many female employees of Yu Lei International present began to whisper to each other, and their gazes towards Yang Chen became more interesting.

The fat man who had been watching from the side couldn't help but exclaim in his heart when he saw this scene: Damn! He's actually a master at pretending to be a fool to flirt with women!

Mo Qian Ni smiled slightly, "This gentleman indeed has real talent. Thank you for pointing out our oversight. Please continue with your answers."

"Answers?" Yang Chen chuckled as he picked up the two exam papers. "Examiner, I've already finished writing. I was just about to submit them."

"Wow..."

The noise in the room erupted. Everyone in the examination hall was dumbfounded. Was this guy for real?! In just fifteen minutes, not only did he find errors in the challenging exam papers, but he had also finished writing two papers to hand in?!

Mo Qian Ni's calm expression finally changed, revealing a hint of surprise, somewhat charmingly. "Sir, are you sure you want to submit your papers? There's still over forty minutes left. Don't you want to check them?"

"I'm used to getting things done in one go. No need to check," Yang Chen vetoed the well-intentioned suggestion with a shake of his head.

"Alright, we'll grade the papers on the spot."

Mo Qian Ni didn't say much more. She briskly took Yang Chen's papers and handed them to her assistant before continuing to supervise the other applicants. However, from time to time, she would glance at Yang Chen, clearly curious.

Feeling a bit bored, Yang Chen wanted to smoke but remembered that smoking was not allowed in the office area. He raised his hand and said, "Examiner, I want to go to the restroom and smoke a cigarette!"

Some girls couldn't help but laugh. They never expected that such a talented and handsome young man would speak so "coarsely." But such a demeanor appeared particularly intriguing to them.

After all, the men who usually appeared before these white-collar beauties were all trying to portray themselves as elegant and polite gentlemen. Compared to Yang Chen's casual and rough demeanor, the contrast was striking.

Mo Qian Ni couldn't quite understand what this eccentric man was thinking. She frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay, but please don't smoke in the restroom. Go outside the building, and make sure to come back here on time..."

Before Mo Qian Ni could finish, Yang Chen had already rushed out with his cigarette dangling from his mouth, forgetting to close the door behind him!
