The Arranged Marriage - Chapter 23

Zhang Lihua entered the audition room. Five judges were sitted around a table and she guessed that the person in the middle, was the head judge. She bowed slightly as she greeted “Good morning judges, am Zhang Lihua”

The judges raised their heads and looked at her with surprise, they expected her to dress like other participants but she was just too simple.

The head judge looked at her angrily “Miss Zhang I hope you know the theme?”

Zhang Lihua noticed the man’s anger and replied with respect “Yes, I know”

The Judge was already pissed off “I can see you are not ready for the audition, you may leave immediately”

One of the judges tried convincing the head judge to give Zhang Lihua an opportunity

“CEO Mo, let’s give her an opportunity, since she’s already here, we can’t send her away” the other judges supported his idea

Director Mo was reluctant but he still listened to the judges “Fine, you have 3 minutes to tell us what you think about beauty, elegance and loyalty and how it’s related to a perfume”

Zhang Lihua sighed inwardly, she was really grateful to the judge who spoke up for her ” Beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, colour, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight. Elegance is the quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner, it is also the quality of being pleasingly ingenious and simple. Loyalty is the quality of being loyal. Just like beauty, the smell of a nice perfume pleases the nose, aside that, inward beauty matters a lot just like the way the quality of the products used in producing the perfume matters. Elegance is not all about wearing the latest designs of clothes and shoes and putting on heavy makeup, a person can also be simple and humble and still be elegant. A perfume quality is important, just like the same way the beauty and elegance of a person is important, perfume helps in bringing out the beauty and elegance of a person with its smell. A good perfume is ever loyal to its consumer. Thank you” Zhang Lihua bowed slightly, she spoke fluently, she wasn’t tensed up or scared.

The judges were surprised, they expected her to be tensed up because of what happened earlier on but her confidence was too much. When they asked the previous participants about their views of beauty, elegance and loyalty, they kept talking about wearing the latest designs of clothes and shoes and putting on makeup to look good but Zhang Lihua gave them a different meaning.

Director Mo was speechless. He thought she didn’t have anything reasonable to say, but she said everything he wanted to hear. She was confident, simple and determined. That was the elegance and beauty he wanted to see. She was the person he was looking for.
