Chapter 16 Interviews
Coming out of the clothing store, Chen Mengran went home. After lunch, I went back to my room, changed into the designer clothes I rented, and then went out.
I took the bus, and half an hour later, I arrived at the Emgrand community.
Entering the community, looking from a distance, there are all villas inside. Each one is a three-story building, and all of them are European and American buildings, and the format is different.
I searched one by one along the door number, and after ten minutes, I finally found Villa 525.
The villa is surrounded by a three-metre-high wall, and through the cracks in the iron gates, you can see a small garden with a variety of flowers and plants. There is also a large pool with the water as blue as the blue sky.
is worthy of being a super rich person, but he knows how to live.
"This is it. ”
Chen Mengran was about to knock on the iron door, Li Mengxi reminded: "Stupid, such a big building, you can't hear it when you knock on the door, there is a doorbell on the right side of the iron door." ”
Chen Mengran saw that there was indeed a red doorbell. Walking over and about to ring the doorbell, Li Mengxi said again: "Let's see what time it is?"
Chen Mengran glanced at the watch on his wrist, and the pointer pointed to 1.55 minutes.
"Wait, ring the doorbell at two o'clock on time. Li Mengxi said.
"Isn't it good to be early?"
"It's not good, rich people are very sensitive to time, one minute earlier and one minute late is not as good as punctual, they think that the most basic thing to see if a person is honest is to see whether he is punctual. ”
Chen Mengran was uncomfortable with the habits of these rich people, and secretly said that if I were rich, I wouldn't have so many stinky problems.
"Don't say it so early, when you have money, you will also have this stinky habit. "Read Chen Mengran's thoughts, Li Mengxi said.
When the hour hand pointed to two o'clock, Chen Mengran rang the doorbell of the villa. Soon, a woman in her fifties, dressed in servant's clothes, came out and asked through the crack in the iron door, "Who are you looking for?"
Chen Mengran explained the intention.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Chen, who is waiting for you in the hall, please come to me. As he spoke, the maid opened the door for him and led Chen Mengran into the villa.
Chen Mengran grew so big, and it was the first time he was called Mr.
I followed the maid into the villa. I saw that the inside was magnificent, and the decoration was luxurious, especially the entire hall was covered with a thick carpet, which was very comfortable to step on.
Chen Mengran wanted to take a closer look at the surrounding decorations, but Li Mengxi secretly reminded him not to look around, otherwise others would think he was exaggerated. Ask him to hold his head high and his eyes square, and say that this first impression is the most important.
Chen Mengran is now obedient to Li Mengxi's words, and he didn't look around, according to what Li Mengxi said, he held his head high and his eyes square.
The servant led him to the sofa in the middle of the villa, and on the sofa there were two people, a man and a woman, the man was in his forties, his eyes were very sharp, and he had the temperament of a superior person. The woman looks like she is thirty years old because of her good maintenance, but Chen Mengran still sees a flaw in the lines at the corners of her eyes, guessing that she is more than this age.
These two should be the owners of the villa.
"You're here to apply for a tutor, yes, it's not too early or too late, it's very punctual. The man said.
This is a compliment, Chen Mengran also secretly admired Li Mengxi, if he had rang the doorbell five minutes earlier, I am afraid he would not have been able to get this praise.
Then he listened to the man's words, and frowned slightly: "It's just that your age doesn't seem to be very old." ”
Hearing the meaning, Chen Mengran hurriedly explained: "I am twenty-five years old this year. ”
He deliberately said that his age was six years older, of course, this was also taught to him by Li Mengxi, so that he could show that he was a person with experience.
"Twenty-five, it's not like ah, it looks younger. ”
Chen Mengran felt a pang in his heart, and secretly said that rich people are really not easy to fool around.
Fortunately, the man did not grasp the age issue, and changed the topic: "You have seen all the requirements for recruiters on my recruitment information, I require English level 6 or above, and I must have the experience of living abroad, and understand the humanities and customs and history and geography of the United States, do you meet these requirements?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come. Chen Mengran pretended to be proud.
"I graduated from Pingjin University of Foreign Studies and Chinese and spent half a year studying in the United States, where I studied American culture and history. ”
When he said this, Chen Mengran almost laughed, he grew so big, he had never been to a city other than Pingjin City, but if he wanted to say that he had studied abroad for half a year, when would he be so able to brag.
"Oh, you're a graduate of Chinese University. The man was a little surprised, you must know that Pingjin Foreign Chinese University is the best English school, and those who graduated from this university are all English level 6, otherwise they will not get a graduation certificate.
"Take out your diploma and English certificate and I'll take a look. The male owner didn't believe it because of Chen Mengran's boasting, there have been a lot of abductions in the pit door over the years, how could he listen to Chen Mengran's family.
Of course, the certificate he asked for was absolutely invisible, because there was no such thing. However, Chen Mengran was not panicked, he had long expected this move, and Li Mengxi had already discussed with him how to deal with it.
Said calmly: "I didn't have the certificate with me." ”
After he saw that after he finished speaking, the male and female hosts frowned at the same time, and before they could speak, they preemptively spoke: "But I believe that you are not the kind of person who only looks at the certificate, if you want to prove that I have passed the English test, it is very simple, as long as you test me with a few exam questions, you will know whether I am lying." ”
The man was stunned, he was sure to take the exam questions, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to speak, looking at the confident look, it seemed that there were really two brushes.
"Okay, since you're so confident, then I'll test you. The man said. Then take out the test paper that has been prepared from the bag next to it.
"This is an English 6 test, which is as difficult as this year's 6th grade test, and if you can do it in an hour and a half, you will pass. ”
Chen Mengran took the exam question and couldn't help frowning after just looking at it. He is also a person who has experienced the college entrance examination not long ago, and he is also on the passing line of the English college entrance examination, but he is still shocked when he looks at the exam questions. Almost every question type has words and phrases that he doesn't know, and he can't even translate sentences smoothly, so he asks him how to do it.
"What, can't you do it?" Chen Mengran's expression looked in the eyes of the man and asked.
Chen Mengran was secretly shocked by the viciousness in the other party's eyes, but denied it with a smile: "Of course not." ”
"Then why frown?"
"Because ......" Chen Mengran was about to rack his brains to come up with a reasonable answer, but in the depths of his mind, Li Mengxi had already given him the answer.
"Because it's so easy. According to the answer given by Li Mengxi, Chen Mengran blurted out.
"It's too easy, and when it's easy can also be expressed with a frown. The man wondered in his heart, and replied: "Since it's easy, let's do it, make it within an hour and a half, make it, and reach a passing grade or above, and I will hire you to be my daughter's tutor." ”
After speaking, the man stood up, he was ready to go back to the room to rest, for an hour and a half, it was impossible for him to accompany Chen Mengran.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard Chen Mengran say: "It doesn't take so long, just give me half an hour." ”
"What, half an hour?" The man was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: "You're not kidding, this is an English level 6 test question, even if you pass level 6 in English, it is impossible to answer it in half an hour, young man, don't be too arrogant." ”
"I forgot to tell you just now, I'm not CET-6, I passed CET-8 a year ago. For me, this test paper is only half an hour at most. Chen Mengran said confidently.
He is confident, but his heart is bottomless. Secretly uneasy asked Li Mengxi: "Hey, you didn't hold the big one, did you?"
"Of course not. Li Mengxi replied, his tone was full of confidence, and it also made Chen Mengran's hanging heart relax a little.
"I actually passed English level 8, I really didn't expect it. Okay, I'll see how you do it in half an hour. The man said, he had already sat back on the sofa, and he wanted to weigh Chen Mengran's catties with his own eyes to see if he was bragging.
Chen Mengran took the pen and test papers, and sat directly on the coffee table on the sofa to do it.
The answer to this question is A. In the depths of Chen Mengran's mind, Li Mengxi said. She was able to see through Chen Mengran the question types on the test paper, which were very simple for someone like her, who was a translator during her lifetime.
The answer to this question is C. ”
Chen Mengran filled in a C in the brackets of the test paper again.
The answer to this is D. ”
Li Mengxi said an answer, Chen Mengran filled in one, and in less than two minutes, the ten multiple-choice questions had been written by Chen Mengran.
Both the host and the hostess watched Chen Mengran answer the question with wide eyes, only to see Chen Mengran filling in the answers on the test paper like a hard worker. He barely had much effort at the beginning of the multiple-choice questions, and he only looked at each question for more than ten seconds before writing the answers, and in less than two minutes, he had already finished writing the ten multiple-choice questions.
I have some admiration in my heart, not to mention whether the answer is correct, this kind of speed is not comparable to ordinary people.
After doing the multiple-choice questions, the next is the multiple-choice questions, and Chen Mengran took about three minutes this time. This is followed by fill-in-the-blank questions, translation questions, reading questions, and finally an essay question.
When Chen Mengran filled in everything, he looked at the time, twenty-five minutes, Li Mengxi didn't brag, it really didn't take half an hour to finish it all.
"It's so fast. The hostess sighed.
Then he urged the male host: "Lao Gao, quickly answer the answer and see how many are right." ”
There was no need for her to remind him, the man had already brought his eyes and took out the answer to match Chen Mengran's test paper.
Time passed little by little, and the whole hall was silently pin dropping. Whether it was the hostess or even Chen Mengran herself, they all stared at the male host with a solemn face, wondering how much the answer was right.
Five minutes later, the man finally took off his glasses and put down the answers and test papers.
"How?" asked the hostess.
"That's right. ”
"What, that's all right?" the hostess looked incredulous. This is an English level 6 test question, and it's all right, even if it's English level 8, it's impossible to be so outrageous.
Chen Mengran also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, from this moment on, he was finally sure that Li Mengxi did not play with him.
"Now I'm at ease. Knowing Chen Mengran's thoughts, Li Mengxi said.
Chen Mengran nodded secretly.
