Sir, Please Conduct Yourself

Xu Nian persistently explained, "I, Xu Nian, have participated in a lot of design competitions before, and I have held many works exhibitions, touring exhibitions in several cities, I......"

"Yes, Miss Xu Nian." Secretary Liu impatiently interrupted her, "I know that. Is there anything else?"

Xu Nian's face suddenly became ugly. He asked stubbornly, "do you... Really don't know me?"

Secretary Liu didn't say anything. She gave a silent message with her eyes. Why should I know you.

Xu Nian, who looked in his eyes, fell into a panic for a moment, and his face, which he thought was very stable, changed involuntarily.

With his uneven breath and flushed face due to fast running and emotional excitement, Xu Nian looks like a clown who has just been on the stage but is clumsy.

Time is still running out, and it won't stay for a moment because of someone's personal reasons. Seeing that the number of floors of the elevator is still rising, Xu Nian finally can't sit down.

She swallowed a mouthful of water and said with some difficulty, "I'm the one who just participated in the interview. I'm second."

"Oh." Secretary Liu nodded his head, quickly unfolded the paper in his hand, looked at it, and said without expression, "I'm sorry I didn't remember your face."

In spite of this, Xu Nian didn't feel any embarrassment from her, no matter from her action or tone.

"Well," said Secretary Liu, holding the legs of her glasses, "what can I do for you?"

Xu Nian took a deep breath in silence, feeling that there was sweat on his back.

She was very glad that she didn't bring Qingqing with her just now. Otherwise, what should she do if she saw her embarrassed appearance? The image is bound to plummet.

With this in mind, Xu Nian clenched his fist, and the muscles on his face tightened. Looking from the side, he could see an obvious straight line.

She clenched her back teeth and squeezed them out almost bit by bit. "I'm... Skeptical about this achievement."

As soon as she said this, the expression on secretary Liu's face relaxed a little.

She slightly raised her eyelids, seemed very surprised, a hand quickly helped the frame again, but the tone was as calm as ever, "what's your objection?"

Xu Nian clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, simply let go, and said what was in his heart.

"I don't think that newcomer, the one named Tang Xiao, can be the first."

Secretary Liu narrowed her eyes. Her cold and sharp eyes were reflected through the frameless lens. Like a sharp dagger, she easily dissected the person in front of her.

"Oh?" She said, "you mean you don't think she can surpass you, do you?"

Xu Nian clenched his fist, raised his chin slightly, and said seriously, "yes."

Secretary Liu bent his lips and quickly pulled out a strange smile.

There was a dimple on her unsmiling cheek, which made her face soft. But her eyes were still sharp. She was nailed to Xu Nian's face inch by inch. She looked like a sharp girl from the ancient Abstract pictorial.

For a long time, Xu Nian heard a very strange laugh rolling out of the throat of the interviewer in front of him.

It's like some kind of animal's muddy snoring, with a vague contempt and irony.

Then she heard secretary Liu say, "your name is Xu Nian, right?"

Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, subconsciously nodded his head and said, "it's me."

"Good." Secretary Liu nodded, "although I don't know where you have the courage to directly question the company's internal judgment and decision, I have to inform you that the result is absolutely fair."

She said, "everyone who participated in the selection this time is new. Just like our original intention, it is to introduce a batch of fresh vitality and blood to the development of the branch company. Therefore, no one has a backstage, and the professional designers we participated in the evaluation do not know any of you. It is absolutely impossible to have a black curtain."

Xu Nian's face turned white and asked, "maybe the score is wrong? That Tang Xiao, she's just a new person. How can she... "

"Miss Xu Nian."

Without waiting for her to finish, secretary Liu impatiently interrupted her, "as I said just now, all the new people are involved in the selection, and there will be different differences in the qualifications and levels between the new people. How can we not distinguish one from two or three?"

Xu Nian shook his head, frowned involuntarily, and explained eagerly, "I don't mean that. I mean she's a fresh graduate. I've worked in this industry before..."
