"Yang Corps has the best benefits," She replied honestly.
"You know Pan Holding's Inc has good benefits too," said the manager on the left. Wang Yi-An didn't think before she said, "But I like Yang Corps better."
They smiled, and Assistant Tseng asked, "Why do you like Yang Corps better?"
"Because Yang Corps cares deeply for their employees." This fact was that Yang Corps featured in an Employer of the year magazine. It highlighted them, and at the top 10 listed companies selected by employees in City Y, Yang Corps topped the list in first place. All the employees were proud to be part of Yang Corps compared to the other nine companies. In fifth place was Pan Holding Incorporated, although they had a higher paying salary than Yang Corps, and the other companies, their treatment for employees were not as good and fair.
Pan Holding Incorporated was a company of competition among each other. Where, if their monthly report wasn't as good, they would most likely be fired and replaced by a more capable employee. However, if the employees make lots of money for the company, they would receive better treatment, bonus and extra earnings. Most competitive people would prefer to work in that environment. However, Wang Yi-An was not a competitive person. She honestly told them, "Pan Holding Inc was a little too competitive for me, I don't think I can fit in with them, but I am sure that Yang Corps would be the better choice for me."
The three of them agreed with her analysis. After they heard her reasons for picking Yang Corps over the other companies, they asked her one last question. "Why should we pick you, compared to all the other applicants we have today?"
"Because I have a unique talent," she said with pride in her voice.
"What talent would that be?" he asked, as it raised his curiosity. He looked at the copies of Wang Yi-An's portfolio and noticed nothing much.
"I have a photographic memory, and I can draw at an immersive fast speed she said with a smile.
This amazed him, how could anyone claimed to have two talents so rare. "Really?" he seems to be a disbeliever as he asked her. "Can you prove it?"
"Of course I can." She said as she smiled brightly.
Because of her confident, Assistant Tseng wanted to test her. "Okay, I will show you two photos," and he did, flashing the photos to her, fast, one after the other. "Now tell me the details of both, in the same order I showed you." He places the two photos down backwards, hiding them from view. The other two managers thought he didn't show her the images long enough.
"Wasn't that too fast?" said the manager on the left, she was the only female manager on the panel, she didn't like how Assistant Tseng treated her, he only flashed her those photos for two seconds, who would remember all those details?
"Hey, she said she has a photographic memory."
"Maybe she meant she has a good memory." They wanted to give the girl a more reasonable chance, showing her two pictures in less than a minute, seems to be cruel.
"Show her the pictures longer just to be fair."
Assistant Tseng exchanged messages with President Yang at 2:45 p.m. He looked at Wang Yi-An as he typed, "Okay since she is young I might as well..."
"There's no need." She said as she interrupted him, and said, "Instead of going over the details in speech, would you like me to redraw it out?"
The three managers exchanged looks, they thought, Can she really do that? Is it even possible? and so they watched her took out a sketchbook from her mini-backpack. She drew them out, and sure enough, she took 15 minutes to draw out two pictures.
Amazed, the three of them became speechless, they saw how fast she could sketch out two images, as soon as she completed the sketch, she walked over and placed them both on the table. Assistant Tseng flipped over the two pictures he showed her and compared them with Wang Yi-An's rough sketch.
They were surprised, they looked (pretty much) identical, the pictures detailed and the colours all matched the originals, even for a rough sketch it was well done. "Wow, you sure are amazingly talented Miss Wang."
"Thank you!" she kept her smile at them, and put her sketchbook away in her small backpack, along with her colours markers and supplies she had used.
"Well, with a talent like that I want to hire you right away!" Assistant Tseng still couldn't believe his eyes. He started at the two drawings and compared them to the originals. Almost on point—every detail he reviewed side by side. "Well then, can you start work next week?"
"Already? I thought the internship starts in two weeks from now?" The sudden impulses surprised Wang Yi-An.
Assistant Tseng laughed, "Oh, right. I almost forgot." He was amazed, he had forgotten that! Wang Yi-An's talents amazed him so much he almost forgotten about the interview was only an interview for the internship. "Then you can start your internship in two weeks; you may go home and wait for your acceptance letter by email." Assistant Tseng's decision had surprised the other two managers.
The entire interview wasn't finish yet, and he had already decided on Wang Yi-An as one of the selected interns. No one would show their disapproval in front of him, and Wang Yi-An was indeed talented.
Wang Yi-An was glad to hear the news, she stood up to lowered her head for a slight bow. "Thank you!" and she left the room.
One of the managers on the panel asked, "Mr Tseng, isn't it too soon? We haven't finished interviewing all the other students yet."
"Would it be necessary to wait on someone as talented as her? Her photographic memory is a rare talent! Don't worry about President Yang. I will inform him about my decision." Assistant Tseng made his intention to hire Wang Yi-An clear; the other two wouldn't question him anymore. Assistant Tseng position in the company was almost like he was a vice-president. Even their current Vice-President, Ma Wei wouldn't have as much authority as Assistant Tseng—who worked directly for President Yang.
Soon enough, Assistant Tseng quickly sent a message to his boss, Yang Tian-Xu. He had to tell President Yang the excellent news, photographic memory was rare, and she can draw so fast, he had to notify to President Yang:
‘Boss, you would be so surprised about this student I recently interviewed…’
