Chapter 128 Assessment Content

While the two were talking, they had already reached the third floor, and the girl and Lin Jianyan got out of the elevator together.

There are much fewer people on this floor. Including Lin Jianyan and this girl, at a glance, the number of people can be counted on ten fingers.

Seven or eight people were sitting on the benches nearby, each holding their own documents in their hands. Some of them had frowns on their faces, thinking carefully about the contents of the documents, while others were whispering to each other, exchanging their opinions in low voices.

The appearance of Lin Jianyan and the girl attracted the attention of several people on the bench. The next moment, they all recognized Lin Jianyan and wanted to come up to him with excitement in their eyes, but they did not dare to act rashly for fear of annoying him.

Lin Jianyan put away the smile on his face, his expression calm, and he just nodded slightly. His indifferent aura seemed to carry a sense of distance, which made others dare not come forward.

The girl hunched her shoulders, feeling the pressure next to Lin Jinyan, and whispered, "Mr. Lin, I'll go to the front to queue first."

Lin Jianyan called her and asked with a smile: "Can you come out later? Can you wait a moment? I want to see your work."

The girl was somewhat flattered, but there was something in her mind that she was not sure about. Her face flushed with excitement, and she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Mr. Lin, if you have time, I would be happy to do it."

"Then let's do our best."

"Yes! Thank you!" After saying that and bowing, she walked quickly to the front with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, found an empty seat and sat down.

Lin Jinyan also found an empty seat and sat down. After he sat down, people came up to him and started talking to him. They smiled at the gentle and polite Lin Jinyan, but he stopped smiling and became distant towards the one who looked arrogant and pretentious.

They also sensed that Lin Jianyan was unwilling to talk further, so they smiled awkwardly and left.

Lin Jianyan's ranking was relatively low, and he had to wait for about an hour before it was his turn.

When he saw the girl in front of him come out smiling, he knew she had passed. He heard someone shout in the office, "Next one!"

Lin Jianyan smiled and congratulated her, then calmly walked into the office. Inside, several interviewers sat upright, their eyes fixed on him.

Inside the office, four examiners, two men and two women, sat opposite a long table. They had all appeared in newspapers and on television, so Lin Jianyan was not unfamiliar with them.

They all recognized Lin Jianyan. There was a foreigner in his forties with blond hair and blue eyes. Even though he was the examiner, he stood up and walked forward to shake hands with Lin Jianyan excitedly.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you. I didn't expect you to come here to verify. I'm Adair. I had the honor of meeting you at Mr. Chen's birthday party last time."

"I also saw the clothes you designed for Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li. They were stunning. Unfortunately, you were surrounded by those ladies and I didn't get to talk to you."

Seeing how respectful Adair was, the other three examiners also stood up and walked forward to shake hands with Lin Jianyan.

Lin Jianyan smiled the whole time and shook hands with them one by one. "Mr. Adair, you are honored. You are top designers. I am lucky to have your favor."

Adair praised Lin Jianyan a few more times and then sat back in his seat. Although he liked the two clothes designed by Lin Jianyan, he would not use his power for personal gain, but he had a great liking and expectation for Lin Jianyan.

"Mr. Lin, what level of certificate are you here to take today?"

Lin Jianyan passed the documents in his hand to the table and asked them to pass them around. "I'm going to take the entry-level certificate exam."

Before opening the document, Adair asked in surprise, "Beginner?" After opening the document and seeing the design draft inside, he couldn't believe it.

Every detail in the design demonstrates unique ingenuity and extremely high professional standards. Whether it is the smooth use of lines or the exquisite color matching, it is far beyond the entry-level level.

Adair asked in surprise, "Mr. Lin, your level can be called advanced. Didn't you take the elementary certificate exam right after college?"

Lin Jianyan just smiled gently and explained, "I'm not a junior college graduate. I majored in finance in college. I'm just interested in this. I studied with two retired teachers for two years. Maybe I have some talent. But you should also understand my background and experience, so the certification has been delayed until now."

He said this without fear of being investigated. Who knows who the two retired teachers he mentioned are? They might be eating candied haws with runny noses in China now.

After reading the answer, the other examiners also showed surprised expressions. One of the older examiners couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin, it would be a pity if you only take the entry-level exam. Why don't you try to take the advanced exam?"

Lin Jianyan widened his eyes slightly, "Can I take the advanced certificate exam directly? Don't I have to take the exams one level at a time?"

Adair coughed lightly and said, "As a rule, you take the exams one level at a time, but there is no rule that says you can't skip levels."

"You are at a level where you can definitely try to take the advanced certificate exam. It would be a shame to take the elementary certificate exam. It would take you a long time to move up."

"What's the old saying? You don't need a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"

An examiner next to him reminded him awkwardly, "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" There was a trace of helplessness on his face, as if he was already accustomed to Adair's slip of the tongue.

Adair nodded. "Oh, that's what I mean. Mr. Lin, you can consider it."

When Lin Jianyan heard this, he couldn't help but think, "What preparations are needed for the advanced assessment? How should I take the exam?" If he could get it all at once, he definitely didn't want to start from the beginner level and work his way up.

This way, too much time is wasted.

Hearing that he was willing to take the test, Adair was even happier than him, and his excitement was beyond words. He clapped his hands, making a crisp "pa" sound, and said excitedly, "The four of us examiners will each come up with a keyword, and you have to combine these keywords to design a piece of clothing."

"Then the four of us will give you a score, with each person scoring 10 points. You can only pass the test if everyone scores more than 8 points. This is not an easy task. It requires extremely high innovation, practicality, aesthetics and consistency with key words in the design."

"Are you willing to accept this challenge?"

Lin Jianyan raised the corners of his mouth, sketching a confident and wanton smile: "Of course, it's my honor."

Adair took out a piece of paper, wrote down his requirements on it, and then passed it to the examiners next to him, who also picked up pens and wrote down their requirements.

Lin Jianyan took it and saw the requirements above, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The four people had somewhat contradictory requirements, and it was quite challenging to combine them into one piece of clothing.

However, he is not afraid of challenges. The more difficult things are, the more they can arouse people's passion, right?
