Chapter 87 Speedy Gonzalez

As Jean and Sally had their breakfast, the others had left the room with as much material as they could physically carry. There were only a few people left in the room.

Sally had looked around just now but was about to have a second go at the materials. Jean's target was very clear, she walked towards a few boxes at the corner, got herself a trolley, piled up the boxes and turned around to leave. "Wait a minute, are you sure that you have gotten all you need?" Sally was shocked.

Most of the candidates that came in had a laborious time going through every single item. They even sifted through materials that only had differences of a few millimeters! And here was Jean, who strutted in on her own pace, did not take a look at anything else and was ready to leave within five minutes?Sally clenched her jaws and signaled toward the cabinet, "You can't be betting on your luck! Even if the judges try their best to help you, you have to help them out here."

Jean replied solemnly, "I was not fooling around, I am truly done."

She patted on the boxes, "It was a good thing that no one fought for these."

"How did you know the contents of those boxes?" Sally was puzzled.

Jean smirked as she tugged on the trolley and point at the door, "There was an inventory list."

Most of the candidates had dashed and darted into the room in order to grab the best materials, yet they did not take notice of the obvious clue.

Apart from Jean, only a handful of candidates noticed the little 'secret'.

Most of them had been held back by the crowd and could only explore the place."Jean, you are amazing!" Sally praised her from the depths of her heart.

But just as she was ready to get going, Jean's next step continued to exceed her imaginations.

She did not pursue a hidden corner like the rest who were worried of copycats.

Instead, she went directly to the broadcasting studio.

Apart from the social media influencer, no one else was inside the room.

The social media influencer went by the name Lisa; she was busy making up as she did not expect anyone at this hour. Her surprise only grew as she saw Jean and her boxes of goods."Are we starting now? Or are you an intern around here?" Lisa assumed that Jean was a worker at MON & Co. given her actions.

Jean started unwrapping the boxes while replying, "I am ready."

"You mean..."

"Start the live stream, let's start the sales." Jean replied confidently.

"Now?" Lisa was finally paying attention to her as she sniggered, "Well first off you've got to come up with a finished product right? There's only so much tomfoolery that can go around here.""Fine." Jean opened one of the bags; it contained a gold plated chain and a pile of horoscope themed beads.

"That's it?" As Lisa turned on her phone, she saw the chain.

It was a simple chain with only a single bed, Lisa was convinced that Jean was pulling her leg at this point.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely, I have ready stock and am ready to send them all out by tonight, just go ahead." Jean got herself cozy on the sofa, "I will prepare it right away."

Lisa took a deep breath. However, upon further thought, the necklace was simple and elegant, which would go well with her black top.

"I'll do my best." Lisa adjusted her emotions, prepared her script and started her live stream. A few minutes later.

As Monica and the rest was leisurely enjoying their coffee, Anna sprinted toward them, "The live stream has started!"

"Seriously?" Hansen smiled wryly, "It seems that we have a strong pool of candidates."

He turned on his phone as he was curious of the current situation.

Monica was still giving her full attention towards her cup of caffeine when the screen came alive.

Anna could be heard murmuring to herself, "She merely moved the disposed goods from the warehouse..."

"This is pretty good!" Hansen commended by tapping on the "like" button while tuning into the interaction between Lisa and the viewers. The first order came in within minutes.

Each necklace came with a handmade wish by the seller.

It also came with a customized bead, which was a qualifiable selling point.

"However, this isn't designing..." Anna was flustered, "This is unfair to the other candidates who are working hard, and here is Jean exploiting loopholes!"Even though Anna had changed her mind toward Jean, she could not bring herself to agree with her actions.

Monica placed her cup down and stared at Anna.

Jean was her intern; Anna's point was a sword questioning Monica's authority.

Anna attempted to defuse the situation, "I believe with Jean's designing capability, she should be able to produce a much more attractive design."

After the previous test, the higher-ups at MON & Co. were very pleased with Jean's design and had sky-high expectations toward her upcoming performance.

Jean was visibly trying to take short cuts.

Monica smiled, "I don't think she is exploiting loopholes, instead she is the person who understood the question best amongst all the candidates."

Hansen nodded in agreement, "I'm fully with you. Apart from design, we are also testing their ability to fit in with the marketing trend. At the end of the day, every design is supposed to flow into the market and generate profit for the company. Without the support of consumers, the perfect design will remain just a piece of blueprint."

It sounded sordid, but it was the truth.

Compared to the interns who were tumbling and hustling for perfection, Jean's action fully encapsulated the preliminary's mission."Well, her sales don't seem good." Anna mumbled to herself.

It was not a staggering figure for sure.

Hansen turned off the broadcast, "Just wait and see."

After Jean had sold over a hundred and twenty necklaces, the next candidate dropped in, "Am I the first?"

As he walked in jubilantly, Jean was busy wrapping up goods to be delivered.

"Are these... all your sales?"

The person's name was Kellan, who had been with MON & Co. over the last two years but maintained position as a junior designer. He was looking forward to this platform in order to prove and fight for a chance for promotion.

"Yeah." Jean replied without looking up and made space for him.

Out of the four boxes, two of them were empty.

Kellan frowned and looked at his own design uneasily.

Lisa waved at him and giggled, "It's your turn! What are you waiting for?"

She was getting tired of advertising only Jean's product.Kellan muttered in agreement and handed the necklace to her before sitting in a corner. This was his magnum opus; he was sure that the craftmanship and design was flawless, with the addition of the mother pearl in the middle, it was simply phenomenal.

"Gather around, get a look at this!"
