Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Qin Guan was stunned. Big brands had a higher threshold than ordinary studios. They couldn't interview all the models one by one because of the huge amount of materials they had to submit.
The screening box in front should be their first data collection point. This way, it would save him time, and it would also save the other party trouble.
Qin Guan smiled at the receptionist and spun around in his shoes. He wanted to check the classification of the materials in the box.
"Just leave your materials at the front desk. I'll give them to the Personnel Department later."
The girl at the front desk had already stood up. She no longer cared about the stacks of documents beneath her feet. All she knew was that her head was filled with a voice clamoring for the Asian kid to stop.
The receptionist had squatted on the ground and glanced at the materials casually, as if she had seen a long history and ancient mysteries. There was something indescribable about the model. How could she describe it? Yes, it was the true meaning of charm.
"Really? Alright, sorry to trouble you. "
Qin Guan was stunned for a moment before he handed the documents to the receptionist. He didn't need to wait for the receptionist to pick through the boxes, which would give him an advantage.
"Hey!" the receptionist stopped Qin Guan. "How is your English?"
She thought he was an Asian model looking for a job abroad. Qin Guan smiled at the receptionist. "Not bad. At least we had a pleasant conversation."
By the time the receptionist came back with a smile, Qin Guan had already left.
The young receptionist looked at the materials in her hands. They were not thin at all. They were a thick stack of job introductions.
She carefully looked at it again, closed the bag, and put it in the most eye-catching place on the table. When the assistant came to collect the documents, she would see it at a glance, so she couldn't forget it.
Qin Guan walked around the building and visited four or five large brand design firms. The delivery results were similar. Qin Guan knew how hard it was to make a name for himself among the big brands.
Qin Guan was like a cockroach though. He had done countless low-level jobs. If he couldn't get a high starting point, then the small design firms around the square would be his next target.
Qin Guan looked at his watch. It had been a long time, so he decided to meet Xu Xiaoxiao in the park. The two of them headed for their next target.
Qin Guan strode forward and saw Xu Xiaoxiao scratching his ears and cheeks in front of a chessboard surrounded by a group of old men.
In New York, the greening of the city was quite important. Even in a densely populated city like Manhattan, there were four to five small parks in the city, excluding Central Park in the northernmost part.
This was a leisure place for the people whose ancestors had lived in the city. It was also a place for retired old men and old women to chat.
Since the legs of the elderly were not very agile, chess, a popular puzzle game, had become the favorite of the park's regular visitors.
It was a harmless bet between friends. Xu Xiaoxiao had been influenced by his grandfather since he was a child, so he was very confident in his chess skills. Naturally, he was attracted to the chess players.
He wished he could play a few rounds. Of course, it was not for nothing. The bet was between one and five dollars per round, which was one of the conditions for playing chess.
It was a pity that Xu had overestimated his chess skills and underestimated the old man's strength. He was losing more and more miserably. He had even taken out the change in his pocket.
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Qin Guan, he couldn't help but grab him. "Help me, buddy! Do you know how to play chess?"
"I didn't play well," Qin Guan answered unconsciously as he was grabbed by Xu Xiaoxiao and surrounded by all the old men.
All the old men in the park breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the kid walking over, they knew that he was a smart person. Fortunately, he didn't know how to play chess, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Give me some change. Ten dollars will do. I'll finish the game. I have to win one round before I leave."
Qin Guan took the change out of his pocket as he watched the game. He estimated that Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be able to win the five dollars back until he was seventy or eighty years old.
He didn't have much time that day. He couldn't spend most of his time in the park.
Qin Guan didn't take out his change. He broke the rule that a true gentleman should not talk while watching a game of chess. The old men had never heard of that rule anyway.
In New York, if you tried to play chess at a Chinese chess stand, you would be lucky if they didn't poke a hole in you with a pipe.
"You take four diagonally to the right. He has to take three diagonally to the left. Then the king comes out. You win..."
What? How can a kid play chess like that? Do you think I'm stupid? I'll play according to your plan. Xu Xiaoxiao did. The old men looked at the game. If they didn't play according to Qin Guan's plan, they would feel awkward.
After three rounds, Xu Xiaoxiao won for the first time.
The group of people stared at the child in front of them, who was holding a bill and smiling foolishly. They were still in a daze.
Qin Guan grabbed Xu's arm and ran to the parking lot. The old men were about to speak when they saw Xu's face.
Qin Guan knew what they wanted to say. Without turning his head, he reminded them of the gap between their strengths. "If the old man in the blue shirt sends his troops forward, he'll win in less than three steps. If the elephants and horses on the right side are abandoned, he'll be able to survive."
"As for the table in the middle, when the grandpa who could have won lowered his head to pick up the chess pieces, the grandpa opposite him secretly changed the position of the taxi in the corner. Now that he's messed with the chessboard, it's hard to tell who will win …"
In an instant, the crowd made way for him. This child could even play blind chess, and it was a 1v3. His memory was really unparalleled. They weren't young anymore, so it was better not to go up and look for trouble.
Qin Guan and Xu Xiaoxiao walked a few meters away. Behind them, spontaneous applause could be heard. Good kids are always popular.
"How did your interview go?"
"I don't know. I just submitted my application. The next few shops will be the real deal."
"Really? Do you need me to act as your assistant? "
Qin Guan looked at Xu seriously and blinked. "No, thanks. It'll only take me a few minutes."
"Okay. “
