Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 136 He Couldn't See Her Suffering

"What's the rush? Did Hiram ask you to wait for him upstairs?" Luke asked curiously while being pulled

into the elevator by Rachel.

"Well, something like that. Never mind. By the way, how is Albert? I haven't seen him in a long time."

Luke reminded Rachel of Albert. They had been out of touch ever since the last time she visited their

university.

Luke knew why Albert didn't contact Rachel. Albert had a crush on Rachel, but when he found out that

she was Hiram's wife, he decided not to get in touch with her anymore. However, Luke couldn't tell

Rachel the truth. He coughed slightly and said, "Albert has been busy with his studies lately. He is still a

college student after all. He has to focus on school work."

Stepping into the elevator, Rachel pressed number 20. According to the request for the interview, the

candidates were expected to climb one floor after another by obtaining a traffic permit from each floor.

Now that she had Luke as her 'traffic permit', she intended to make full use of him.

"Why are you getting off here? Hiram's office isn't on this floor, " Luke asked, when he noticed Rachel

preparing to get out of the elevator.

Rachel didn't reply, instead she gave him a smile.

When the door opened, Daniel appeared in front of them. He stood there with his arms crossed, waiting

for his first interviewee.

"Mr. Zhuo, nice to meet you. Am I the first to get here?" Rachel greeted him politely, but cursed at him

in her heart.

They ate noodles together like friends last night, and yet today he pretended as if he didn't know her.

"Well, Daniel, what's going on?" Luke walked out as well. He was totally unaware of what was going

on.

Daniel shrugged and said, "Luke, thanks to you, Rachel is the first to be admitted here."

Rachel couldn't help laughing out. Then she turned to Luke and said, "Thank you very much, Luke. I'll

treat you to dinner another time."

Luke had understood everything by now. He remembered hearing something about there being an

interview at Hiram's company today. Rachel was one of the candidates, and he had just helped her to

pass the interview by accident.

"Rachel, you are lucky to come across me. But Daniel, it's not my fault. I didn't know. Anyhow, I'm sorry,

" Luke said with a smile.

Luke quietly got on the elevator and waved goodbye. He had his own problems to deal with.

"You've passed the interview with Luke's help. It's unfair to the rest of the candidates, so I've decide to

give you one more test, "

Daniel said seriously, regardless of his relationship with Rachel.

"Daniel, are you kidding? You know that I'm different from the others. How did I get the opportunity for

this interview? You're very clear on that too. Now you've decided to put on a serious face. What the hell

are you going to do?" Rachel griped.

"Give me a finished design drawing within three hours. Here are some materials related to the terrain.

You can design according to your own idea. Aside from the time limit, I don't have any other

requirements."

Daniel put down a pile of materials on the desk, paying no heed to Rachel's complaining.

"What? Are you serious? I'm not a professional. Even professionals can't finish the design drawing

within three hours. I'm not a robot. Okay?" Rachel gazed at Daniel and disproved. Daniel was asking

for the impossible from her.

"I'm serious. All the materials you'll need are in that room. Whatever you do, I want to see the finished

drawing in exactly three hours from now." Daniel then led Rachel to a room in which there were three

bookshelves, full of construction maps and books.

"Daniel, Please give me more time. I know nothing about design and drawing. At least, give me some

time to learn the basics." Rachel soon realized that arguing with Daniel wasn't going to work, she

walked to Daniel and tugged at his sleeve, pleadingly. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Daniel refused to be persuaded. "There are models for drawing, terrain data and some other reference

materials on the bookshelves and the computers. Make full use of them. If you can't draw on the

computer, you can do it on paper. Set your wits to work. Come on.

I'll come and see you three hours later. I hope you will finish your work by then."

Daniel encouraged Rachel before leaving.

"Wait. Daniel!" Rachel shouted and ran after Daniel, still trying to persuade him to give her more time.

"The test has already begun. You'd better stop wasting time trying to please me and get to work as

soon as possible." Daniel shouted back at her without turning around.

Daniel always took his work seriously. Now that he was in charge of the interview, he had to make sure

that the candidates who passed the interview were competent for the job. He allowed no exceptions.

If Rachel couldn't finish the work within the time limit, he would have to give her up even if she was

recommended by Hiram. Daniel had to adhere to his principles.

With regards to Daniel's get-tough attitude, Rachel could do nothing but to start her work with haste.

She came out to fetch the materials on the desk while cursing at Daniel in her heart.

At first, she switched on the computer and read the instructions on model drawings to learn the steps.

Rachel was a totally new to this; she didn't know any technical terminology. An hour had passed by, but

she still couldn't find a way out. She had barely written a word down.

As far as Rachel knew, the Streams Company had a company specifically responsible for its real estate

projects, and Daniel was good at park-like scenic designs.

Coming up with a design that was mainly dominated by landscape and supported by buildings, was his

forte.

The Cliff Mountain project, however, was different.

After some thought, Rachel took a deep breath and stood up to pick up some books about landscape

style while massaging her sore head. Finally, she had started to sketch out her design.

The landscape that Daniel offered for her test was a small slope. Apart from its vast territory, Rachel

could think of no other aspect that she could make use of.

Anyhow, she began her work. She was poor in drawing, but she was confident that she had a silver

tongue to make Daniel understand her design. Once she passed the test, she would have lots of

opportunities to learn how to draw.

Rachel, however, didn't know that her every move was being monitored by Daniel.

When she was racking her brains for ideas, Daniel sat before the monitor and watched her while

drinking his coffee. He frowned when he saw Rachel just sitting there, helplessly.

At the same time, Daniel received the other candidates who had got all the traffic permits. At last, a

total of 30 candidates succeeded to see Daniel. They were to take the final test next week.

However, Rachel took her final test in advance due to her identity and special privileges.

In the CEO's office, Hiram and Chad just got back from the airport.

"Hiram, the materials you need for the meeting are on your desk, " Chad said as he opened the door

for Hiram.

Hiram took off his coat and handed it to Chad. Then he sat down, loosening his tie. "Is the interview

over yet?"

"Yes, it's over. But, Rachel is still taking her test, " replied Chad honestly.

"What's going on?" Hiram glanced at Chad and called the secretary to send him a cup of water.

Chad thought Daniel was being too hard on Rachel. He tried to persuade him, but Daniel didn't listen to

him at all. Since Hiram had asked voluntarily, he decided to air his complaints.

"Daniel deliberately made things difficult for Rachel. First, he didn't give her the interview notice. You

know the security guard wouldn't let her in without the interview notice. Rachel is clever, so she finally

got in by herself. Then, he asked her to get traffic permits from each floor to get upstairs. Rachel

succeeded there too.

But I heard just now that Daniel gave Rachel a test to finish a design drawing within three hours. How

is that possible?

Even I can't promise that I can make a design in just three hours. So far Rachel hasn't done any work

in this field. She's already at a disadvantage. I think Daniel just wants to embarrass her.

Hiram, let's go and save her, " Chad said, impatiently.

Hiram listened while taking up the cup of tea that the secretary had prepared. After a while, he said, "I

know Daniel. He is trying to stimulate Rachel's full potential. Finishing the design drawing on time isn't

what he really wants.

He wants to see whether Rachel is gifted in this field. He plans to get a full understanding of her

abilities."

Hiram understood Daniel's way of doing things. Daniel knew there was no time for Rachel to learn how

to design and draw step-by-step, so he took these extreme measures to help her to enter the working

state as soon as possible.

"But that's going to be really hard for Rachel. Can she handle it?" Chad still couldn't agree with Daniel's

methods. Chad felt sorry for Rachel.

After all, she was Hiram's wife. Although their marriage hadn't been made public yet, it was only a

matter of time now.

As Hiram's wife, Rachel could live a luxurious and comfortable life without working, and yet she took

the trouble to get a job in Hiram's company.

"I know it will be hard for her. That's why I've decided to leave her with Daniel, '' Hiram said, as if deep

in thought.

He couldn't see her suffering himself. But he knew Rachel. She didn't want to be a rich lady living high

on the hogs. She wanted to have her own business, so he did what he could to make her wish come

true.
