After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

Dean Jiang was so engrossed in watching that he didn't react at all when other people around him handed in their manuscripts.

It wasn't until his assistant reminded him that all the manuscripts had been collected that Dean Jiang snapped out of his reverie, captivated by the beautiful language.

Dean Jiang stood up and made the announcement.

"Next is the review time. Please wait outside."

Although he was speaking to the crowd, his intense gaze was fixed on Shen Lu.

Dean Jiang's eyes were full of inquiry; he had never met someone so young with such strong translation skills.

While it's true that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, the other person's appearance and abilities are certainly mismatched.

I couldn't help but become more and more curious about her background.

Upon hearing this, everyone got up and went outside to wait.

The assistant also called over the office staff, and everyone took turns analyzing the situation.

Outside the door, Shen Lu was stopped in her way by a girl with short hair as soon as she stepped out.

The short-haired woman was the same woman who had just sat next to the one in the blue suit and skirt.

"Shen Lu, do you know where this is? Come here."

Shen Lu didn't speak, her cold eyes staring straight at the other person. Without introducing herself, she directly called her by name, indicating that the two were old acquaintances.

Shen Lu's eyes were cold, and her plump body added to her imposing presence. The short-haired woman, who had prepared sarcastic remarks, stuck in her throat and couldn't utter a single word.

"Alright, Xiaoting, stop making things difficult for Shen Lu. Everyone should be brave enough to try. Although Shen Lu is a bit chubby and her grades were at the bottom of her class in school, you can't discriminate against her because of that."

"Oh, Xin'er, you're so kind," Zhuang Xiaoting teased, linking arms with Wen Xin'er.

Those around him laughed when they heard this.

"Yes, even pigs have the right to pursue their dreams."

"Are you sure? Even a pig at the bottom of the class can be included? Hahahaha."

Wenxin'er directly called Shen Lu fat, her purpose being to stab her in the heart.

Shen Lu's expression was completely blank, making Shen Lu seem as if she had punched a piece of cotton, leaving her feeling utterly powerless.

Wenxin stepped forward again, feigning kindness as she spoke.

"Shen Lu, if you want to make money, you can tell me. My dad can find you some cleaning jobs. You can work and lose weight at the same time, don't you think?"

Shen Lu had already deduced the identities of the two people from their brief conversation.

They are Wen Xin'er, the female lead of this book, and Zhuang Xiaoting, the supporting female lead.

They also revealed their relationship with the original owner, suggesting they were high school classmates, but their relationship was clearly not good.

Shen Lu was very confident in her translation skills and was not annoyed by their few words.

But that doesn't mean she's a pushover.

After a moment's thought, Shen Lu spoke.

"I'm here to apply for the job. I've been studying at home for a long time, so I'm sure I'll be fine."

Zhuang Xiaoting almost burst out laughing when she heard Shen Lu say that.

"You don't even know a few words, yet you want to learn on your own? Don't go astray."

Shen Lu feigned anger.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've studied very hard, and I'm sure I'll get the job."

"I bet if you get the job, I'll kneel down and bark like a dog; if you don't, you'll still kneel down and bark like a dog."

Upon hearing Zhuang Xiaoting's confident bet, Shen Lu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

The fish has taken the bait.

Shen Lu wore a timid expression and hesitated before speaking, "Never mind..."

When Zhuang Xiaoting saw Shen Lu's cowardly expression, she knew she had a sure win.

So they publicized it extensively.

"Everyone, be my witness. Shen Lu made a bold claim here, saying that she will definitely get the job. We bet that if she gets the job, I will kneel down and bark like a dog, and vice versa."

Shen Lu was furious and embarrassed, and wanted to go up and shut Zhuang Xiaoting up.

To everyone else, this appearance made it seem like Shen Lu was furious.

So everyone chimed in and fueled the fire.

"I'll make a bet too."

"And me!"

Because of the commotion, many employees from the translation institute also came to join in the fun.

When they found out what it was all about, and saw the obese and timid Shen Lu, they all showed disdain on their faces. How could such a woman possibly win?

With so many people joining in, Shen Lu's heart began to pound with excitement.

Someone asked, "Don't you dare?"

Shen Lu closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said in a provocative manner.

"Okay, let's do it your way, let's make a bet."

Just then, news came from inside the house.

"The results are in."

Everyone returned to their seats, waiting for Dean Jiang to announce the final results.

"This time, we will admit three people, who are the top three in the written test."

They said they needed four people when they were recruiting, but after the written test, they said they only needed three.

Everyone tensed up upon hearing this, fearing they might be the ones eliminated.

"First place, Wenxin'er, 96 points."

When Wenxin saw her score, a polite smile appeared on her face. Her gaze fell on Shen Lu's face. She wanted to see with her own eyes what Shen Lu's expression would be when she wasn't in the top three.

"Second place, Qi Guoliang, 92 points."

"Third place, Zhao Jianhua, 88 points."

Fourth place: Zhuang Xiaoting, 82 points.

When Zhuang Xiaoting heard that she had come in fourth place, a look of disbelief crossed her face.

That's impossible. Her father used his connections; three of the reviewers will give her high marks.

How could she possibly be eliminated?

But she didn't have time to think about those things; there was something even more important.

Although she wasn't in the top three, Shen Lu wasn't either.

This means Shen Lu lost the bet and has to kneel down and bark like a dog, hahaha.

Shen Lu also had some doubts. Based on her understanding of her own level, she could not score lower than the third-place score of 88. Whether it was the precision of her word choice, the elegance of the whole piece, or even the speed, she had done her best.

Wenxin kept watching Shen Lu, but found that she was not flustered at all.

I couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Comrade, is there anything you disagree with?"

Dean Jiang asked Wen Xin'er.

"Well, no, Dean Jiang. I was just feeling a bit sentimental. They were making a bet outside the door that if this comrade didn't get the job, he might have to kneel down and bark like a dog."

"We were high school classmates, so I couldn't bear to see her embarrass herself like that in public."

"But there's no other way. If we don't honor the bet, Comrade Shen Lu's reputation will be damaged. How can he face people like that?"

With just a few words, Wenxin'er escalated a seemingly joking bet into something that seriously damaged credibility.

Shen Lu sneered. She wasn't afraid of losing face; she was afraid of not losing face enough.

Dean Jiang frowned upon hearing this.

"Who said Shen Lu wasn't hired?"
