Chapter 236: Chapter 236: This Foreigner is Interesting_1

The door to the third meeting room opened and someone walked in while Bai Xiaosheng was eating a plate of fruit.

The woman receptionist had brought it to him, saying she would go brew a good cup of tea for him to try, and had been out for a while now.

Bai Xiaosheng thought it was her returning, but when he looked up, he was startled.

The man entering was smartly dressed in a suit, broad and even broader at the belly, with the buttons of his shirt straining, as if they might burst off at any moment.

Looking at his face, the man had brown hair, brown eyes—a pure-blooded foreigner!

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.

Actually, judging by the time, it was about right for someone to come for the interview—was it him? Why wasn’t it Lin Beichen?

But for Zhongjing Media to have a foreign employee wasn’t strange at all.

Bai Xiaosheng politely nodded to the foreigner.

The stout foreigner looked equally surprised upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng. After making sure it was the third meeting room from the reception desk, he declined having someone lead the way and came himself.

After all, it wasn’t his first time here.

If this was the negotiation room, then there shouldn’t be any unrelated people present, after all, such negotiations are important. The stout foreigner had faith in the management of Zhongjing Media.

The stout foreigner walked over, and Bai Xiaosheng stood up, extending his hand.

The two shook hands very solemnly.

"Am I here to talk with you?" the stout foreigner asked.

"Host need detected, activating secondary auxiliary system—language translation."

"Language detected, German, Bavarian dialect."

This language branch... it seemed familiar...

Bai Xiaosheng’s mind stirred, but he didn’t dwell on it.

"Correct, it’s me!" Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Is there anyone else here?

Bai Xiaosheng’s fluent and authentic German in the Bavarian dialect took the stout foreigner by surprise.

Indeed, there was a reason why Song Changkong had sent him to talk to me!

The stout foreigner smiled and said, "Your German is excellent. My name is Ron, what’s yours?"

Ron knew this young man might have a complete understanding of his information, yet he still introduced himself.

Perhaps it was out of the typical German precision and politeness.

"Bai Xiaosheng." Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "Can you make decisions by yourself regarding this matter?"

Someone sent by Lin Beichen certainly wouldn’t rank higher than manager level.

Perhaps this foreign manager was short-staffed and so Lin Beichen let him interview me.

Or it could be Lin Beichen, on purpose, putting me through a tough negotiation with a foreigner.

Bai Xiaosheng speculated.

"I believe I can totally make decisions on my own!"

Ron shrugged and sat down opposite Bai Xiaosheng.

He was the lead negotiator for Kaisen Company, although a team had come with him, he held the highest decision-making power.

"That’s good." Bai Xiaosheng smiled and also sat down.

Since he had gained the secondary system’s assistance, he hadn’t had a serious work-related conversation with a foreigner.

The real use of language translation was meant for the workplace. Communicating with animals was actually off-topic.

"Would you like some? I’ve only had a bit, and I assume you don’t mind." Bai Xiaosheng pushed the fruit plate towards the stout foreigner, Ron.

The freshly cut fruit in the plate was accompanied by a few toothpicks. Bai Xiaosheng had used some and now had picked them out, even taking a piece of apple with him.

Bai Xiaosheng acted casually, not worrying about possibly offending the other party.

After all, he wasn’t there for a real interview.

Furthermore, seeing how Lin Beichen’s attitude toward Yang Qian’er and the way he looked at himself, not to mention sending this foreigner over here.

Bai Xiaosheng thought that it was unlikely he would be hired from the interview.

So why worry about anything?

Let’s see if I can get some information out of this foreigner’s mouth, Bai Xiaosheng thought.

"No, thank you."

Mr. Ron looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a puzzled expression.

Normally, the people Mr. Song sent to converse with him were always professional, rigorous, and stiff, with a strong sense of the corporate world.

Once, twice, three times, Ron had grown used to it and even a bit tired of it. Germans are known for their precision, but they are not emotionless rocks.

So, later on, when he encountered such people, Ron would subconsciously want to toy with them.

He would switch between different languages and use the skills he had learned in psychology to fluster them for his amusement, but this unexpectedly netted him a pleasant surprise.

It was Mr. Song’s continuous concessions!

Now, suddenly a young man appeared. He looked ordinary but was proficient in the Bavarian dialect of German and his attitude seemed casual—as if Mr. Song had changed his strategy!

Ron grew a bit guarded.

"Mr. Ron, I am really curious, what do you think of Zhongjing Media?" Bai Xiaosheng unexpectedly took the initiative to ask.

A different person, a different routine.

Ron could not help but be somewhat interested.

"Zhongjing Media is a company with great potential, leading in many areas among its peers, but it still has some flaws."

Ron casually pointed out a few things—Zhongjing Media’s strengths and didn’t hesitate to highlight the issues.

This frankness, typical of foreigners, surprised Bai Xiaosheng.

In reality, what Ron mentioned was just a small part of the vast amount of information he had mastered.

"It seems that Mr. Song wants to test our abilities!" Ron thought to himself.

Kaisen had a strong business research team that had spent four months studying Zhongjing Media in particular.

Bai Xiaosheng listened attentively.

After all, in his view, an "insider’s" offhand comments were more direct than reading through countless documents.

"Red Lotus, search for Zhongjing Media’s decisions on these issues he mentioned, and also..."

Based on what Ron said, with the help of Red Lotus’s search, Bai Xiaosheng checked the information and thought about the issues.

It turned out that Ron’s insights were extraordinary!

Of course, there were some points with which Bai Xiaosheng disagreed.

The various decision adjustments made by Zhongjing Media were not without merit.

"Could it be that this foreigner is deliberately saying this to me as a hidden interview question?"

A thought struck Bai Xiaosheng.

"You want to test me? Fine, let me show you just how capable your future Deputy General Manager is!"

Bai Xiaosheng felt a surge of combativeness at the bottom of his heart.

"Ron, a lot of what you’ve said makes sense, but there are also unreasonable parts..."

Bai Xiaosheng began to unapologetically contradict some of Ron’s views, and even completely reject some.

Ron’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Bai Xiaosheng had insightful and profound observations; he could recite a wealth of data without missing a beat!

"This guy is no simple character!"

Ron couldn’t help but sit up straight and take the young man in front of him seriously.

The two engaged in a sharp exchange over many issues.

As Ron became more agitated, he began spouting various European dialects.

"You’re asking for it!" Bai Xiaosheng thought coldly to himself.

Whatever language Ron used, Bai Xiaosheng would respond in kind. When it came to certain slangs that Ron didn’t understand, Bai Xiaosheng even had to explain them to him.

By the end of the conversation, Bai Xiaosheng had confounded the foreigner with his fluency in multiple languages.

Looking at a sweating Ron, Bai Xiaosheng thought playfully, "This foreigner is quite interesting."

In the hallway outside the meeting room, Lin Beichen ran up, drenched in sweat.

Mr. Song’s assistant had just called him, asking him to stall Ron in order to buy time for Mr. Song.

That darn foreigner was too intimidating!

I’m no match for him at all!

Lin Beichen was endlessly complaining, now standing in front of the door to Conference Room Three, his hand shaking as he tried to push it open.
