C6 Successful Interview

The two models showed no hint of embarrassment in Ye Fan's presence, particularly the one dressed in provocative lingerie who conspicuously thrust her chest out as he approached.

Ling Sixue watched Ye Fan's feigned behavior with increasing contempt. "Such a rogue, taking advantage even on his way out," she thought.

To Ling Sixue's surprise, after observing for a moment, Ye Fan turned to her with a smile. "I'm just applying for the PR Manager position at Iris International. I don't need to concern myself with lingerie design, do I?" he asked.

"Actually, you do. As Iris International's PR Manager, you'll be traveling frequently, even internationally, to liaise with other major companies. How can you do that without understanding this aspect?" Ling Sixue replied with a light laugh, convinced Ye Fan was grasping at straws.

Ye Fan smirked and responded, "Fine, I'll share my personal perspective then."

"Let's hear it," Ling Sixue said, her eyebrows arching in anticipation of the blunder she expected from Ye Fan.

Beside them, Mu Qingyu silently offered her condolences for Ye Fan, certain that with such scrutiny, his elimination was a foregone conclusion.

"Firstly, the most crucial aspect of women's lingerie is comfort. Unfortunately, as a man, I can't wear it to test that out. But I would hope that a designer employed by Iris International wouldn't compromise on comfort. However, these two lingerie styles borrow too many elements. You can find countless similar designs online. Dreaming of showcasing them in an international fashion show? That's utterly unrealistic."

"Secondly, the design of these undergarments is far too plain. You can't apply a 'less is more' philosophy to lingerie design, especially not women's lingerie. In essence, lingerie can reflect a woman's innermost feelings. It's an ongoing romance, a personal indulgence that each woman decides for herself. Therefore, lingerie must be exquisitely crafted. As women yourselves, I'm sure you can relate deeply to this."

Ye Fan spoke at length, eloquently presenting his ideas before turning to a stunned Ling Sixue and Mu Qingyu with a smile. "So, what do you think? Does my perspective meet the approval of two such esteemed experts?"

Ling Sixue and Mu Qingyu were utterly astounded, and they weren't the only ones. Even the models were looking at Ye Fan with admiration. His arguments were well-founded and hit the nail on the head, making him seem like a top-tier fashion designer.

But the thing was, he was clearly a man! How did he come to know so much about this?

Ling Sixue, no stranger to high-pressure situations, managed to compose herself and inquired, "So, Mr. Ye Fan, do you have any suggestions for improving these two pieces of lingerie?"

"Firstly, the issue is creativity. As I mentioned earlier, these two pieces are too derivative and need a fresh approach. Secondly, the aesthetics—such as various lace patterns—could be enhanced by your designers. I'm sure they're more adept at this than I am," Ye Fan responded with ease.

"Hahaha, my system is truly formidable. I definitely need to start gathering energy soon," Ye Fan mused silently.

If anyone had thought Ye Fan's earlier remarks were just flukes or wild guesses, his subsequent comments left no room for doubt. He knew far too much for someone not professionally trained in lingerie design—a fact Ling Sixue was acutely aware of.

With the room silent, Ye Fan glanced at Ling Sixue and grinned, "Well, Ling Sixue, did I pass the test?"

"Congratulations, you've passed the interview. Effective immediately, you are the PR Manager at Iris International. Qingyu, please escort Ye Fan to the Human Resources Department to sign the contract. Once that's done, have him return here, and I'll introduce him to the public relations department," Ling Sixue said, her composure restored.

Ling Sixue's decisiveness impressed Ye Fan. He had half-expected her to come up with some way to further challenge him.

Ling Sixue, despite occasionally having a fiery temper, certainly had the skills to achieve her current position. Even though she wasn't entirely convinced of Ye Fan's abilities, she had to acknowledge that he was indeed talented.

Ye Fan left the office in high spirits with Mu Qingyu by his side.

"How about that, Qingyu? I told you we were destined to work together. Now look at us, we're colleagues!" Ye Fan said cheerfully.

He had already taken to calling her Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu responded with a smile, "Manager Ye, I'm looking forward to your guidance."

Deep down, she admired Ye Fan. Initially, she had pegged him as somewhat arrogant, but it was becoming clear that he was truly skilled, especially with his fluency in English and Tusmela, which was impressive.

He was roughly her age, yet his abilities far surpassed her own.

In the corporate world, beauty isn't skin deep, and capable men have a way of drawing attention from women, often without even trying. And Ye Fan was not only capable but also young.

Ye Fan gestured dismissively, "Oh, please, no more 'Manager Ye.' We're friends now. Just call me Brother Ye Fan, and I'll call you Sister Qingyu."

Instantly, Mu Qingyu's cheeks flushed. His sudden change in demeanor caught her off guard. If she were to actually call him that...

"Manager Ye, we're at the office. Such informalities aren't appropriate here."

Realizing he might have crossed a line, Ye Fan scratched his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just a bit of a joker. Please, don't take it to heart."

"Okay," Mu Qingyu acknowledged, still blushing.

It must be said that Su Yurou ran a tight ship at the company. Her efficiency was outstanding, and she swiftly handled the onboarding process.

The PR Manager position came with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, averaging 25,000 yuan per month, plus a year-end bonus, performance incentives, and comprehensive benefits. Such a compensation package was rare in Blaland.

Ye Fan was ecstatic. Although the system hadn't provided him with direct financial aid, it had helped him secure an excellent job. Before, he had worked tirelessly every month, earning at most just a few thousand yuan.

After returning to her office, Ling Sixue wasted no time and promptly escorted Ye Fan to the public relations department.

As Ye Fan entered the public relations department and was greeted by a bevy of uniformed beauties, he was overwhelmed with excitement. "This work environment," he chuckled to himself, "deserves a score of 120!"

It was just as Fatty had described: Iris International's public relations department was staffed entirely by women, and not just any women – they were all stunning and notably young.

Indeed, the public relations department was Iris International's ace in the hole, playing a crucial role in both internal and external communications. The department often required the finesse and charm that these women naturally possessed.

Despite the potential for scandal, Iris International's public relations department maintained a spotless reputation, a testament to the exceptional caliber of its employees and the company's management.

The arrival of Ling Sixue with a man in tow drew astonished glances from the female staff, as if Ye Fan were some exotic creature.

Ling Sixue cleared her throat, capturing everyone's attention before introducing him. "I'd like to introduce Mr. Ye Fan, who has joined us as the new PR Manager," she announced.

"Uhh... Hi, everyone," Ye Fan greeted, somewhat awkwardly rubbing his hands together, a stark contrast to his usual thick-skinned demeanor.

"Wow, a male manager!"

"He's quite handsome!"

"Looks like good times are ahead!"

The room buzzed with excitement as countless eyes turned to Ye Fan, making him feel like the center of attention in a lioness' den.

Yet, the warmth of their welcome boosted Ye Fan's ego. It was clear why so many aspired to leadership roles – the prestige was intoxicating, especially when leading a team as impressive as this one.

Catching Ye Fan's self-satisfied grin, Ling Sixue couldn't help but snort, though a spark of intrigue flickered in her eyes.

"Let's settle down now, everyone," she commanded, and the chatter subsided as the employees gave her their full attention.
