Chapter 212: Spirited Su Chen
Everyone was a bit stunned when they heard Lin Ruoxue's words.
Have them compete in a match?
Honestly, no one had expected Lin Ruoxue to suddenly propose such a method.
"President Lin, what do you plan to have them compete in? How will they compete?"
The female minister who was quite close to Lin Ruoxue asked hesitantly.
"Since it's about selecting the leader of the Public Relations department, naturally, it should be based on the requirements of the PR department."
Lin Ruoxue said leisurely:
"Just now, Vice President Tu also said that the most important aspects of the PR department are two abilities, one is the ability to handle emergencies, and the other is communication skills. How about we base the competition around these two aspects?"
"That could work, but how will we judge it?"
Vice President Tu slightly furrowed his brow and continued:
"The ability to handle emergencies and communication skills are both quite subjective, it's hard to say who's better or worse."
"How about this, let them compete in how many languages they are proficient in? This is easier to quantify, and language skill is also one of the most crucial basic skills in the PR department, especially for our Belle Corporation, which will soon be entering the international market. This ability is particularly important."
"What does everyone think?"
Vice President Tu turned his head, consulting everyone's opinions.
"Agreeable."
"I think it's feasible."
"Let's do it this way, it's a fair solution, fair to both the young and the old!"
...
The crowd quickly reached a consensus and agreed to the plan proposed by Vice President Tu.
"Well... okay then," Lin Ruoxue pretended to be a bit reluctant, "Since everyone agrees to this plan, let's go with it."
In reality, her heart was already blossoming with joy. Vice President Tu was just too perfect, she hadn't yet brought up the language skills competition, and he had already taken the initiative to propose it.
In everyone's view, this plan was clearly biased towards Niu Xuewen, or rather, it seemed specially designed for him, as most people already favored him.
Because handling emergencies or communicating with people is more about personal ability and talent. Su Chen may not have worked in PR before, but perhaps he was more agile and adept at handling such matters?
Or maybe this young man had always been good at dealing with people?
These were all unknowns, yet very possible.
Being proficient in several foreign languages, on the other hand, was different; you either know them or you don't!
It's not something you can understand just by being smart or clever.
Even if you had an IQ of 200, if you hadn't learned English, asking you to speak it would still result in silence.
As far as they knew, Niu Xuewen was proficient in the languages of eight countries and regions, which was why he had made it to the position of Deputy Director of the PR department.

And the other person was just a driver; how many languages could he understand?
If he really could surpass Niu Xuewen, would he still be just a driver?
They just hoped he wouldn't embarrass himself too much later on, after all, that would also reflect poorly on President Lin!
What they didn't know was that Lin Ruoxue was already itching with anticipation to see their shocked expressions later.
This was also quite understandable; after all, Lin Ruoxue was a woman and naturally hoped that her other half would be admired rather than despised and ridiculed.
Of course, you could also call it vanity, but every woman harbors such thoughts, and Lin Ruoxue was no exception!
At this moment, Su Chen was also a bit stunned. He hadn't expected Lin Ruoxue to actually have him compete against the other person.
Honestly, Su Chen really had no interest in competing with such a guy, wouldn't that be demeaning?
However, after seeing the expectant look in Lin Ruoxue's eyes, a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes.
"Honey, you really want me to compete, don't you?"
Su Chen asked quietly beside Lin Ruoxue's delicate earlobe, controlling his volume so well that those nearby could barely hear him.
Lin Ruoxue hadn't expected Su Chen to whisper to her in such a public setting, and a blush immediately flew across her pretty face.
The crowd wasn't blind and naturally noticed their intimate behavior, especially since Lin Ruoxue's face had turned even redder!
Feeling shy under everyone's gaze, Lin Ruoxue hastily nodded almost imperceptibly.
"Then you promise me, next time we go to the beach, you'll wear that type of swimsuit."
Su Chen leaned in even closer to speak, his breath so hot that Lin Ruoxue could feel it.
However, upon hearing Su Chen's words, her beautiful eyes shot out a blaze of fury!
This jerk! Thinking about that kind of thing at a time like this!
Definitely a bad apple, a hoodlum, a pervert!
"If you don't agree, then forget it. I'm not interested in competing with someone as dull as a pig!"
Su Chen said lazily, acting as if he had Lin Ruoxue completely figured out.
This left Lin Ruoxue even more speechless, a chill flickering in her eyes!
This jerk! Threatening her at this time!
Would Lin Ruoxue agree to him?
The answer was—yes!
Lin Ruoxue truly didn't want to agree, but since she had already spoken, how could she back down now? How would she maintain her prestige in the company?
"Fine, I promise you, I'll wear that outfit for you!"
Lin Ruoxue said, biting her lip, flush and furious.
"You shameless jerk, just you wait!"
Lin Ruoxue silently vowed to teach this man a lesson, to show him why the flowers are so red!
"Alright, honey, today I'll really boost your spirits!"
As soon as he heard Lin Ruoxue agree to wear that outfit, Su Chen's spirits soared, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The people in the conference room saw his sudden change and thought he had gone mad!
Little did they know, he was completely stimulated by his own adrenaline!
"Hey, that, whatever your name, how do you want to compete?"
Su Chen, invigorated, lifted his head and said arrogantly.
They say motivation breeds effort, and at this moment, Su Chen was full of drive, ready to crush his opponent!
"Whatever you want!"
Niu Xuewen had long found him intolerable; what should have been a secured senior manager position for himself suddenly faced competition from this young driver.
Did you think having a special relationship with Lin Ruoxue would help? Soon you'll see what real disparity looks like!
"You set the rules then. I don't want you crying after you lose."
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, casting a dismissive glance at Niu Xuewen, filled with disdain.
The crowd was stunned by Su Chen's words, questioning where he got such confidence.
Rather than worrying about others crying, don't end up crying yourself!
Seeing Su Chen's dominating demeanor, Lin Ruoxue became suspicious—could that one-piece swimsuit be so tempting to him?
Had it really boosted the morale of this usually nonchalant bad boy so enormously!?
