Chapter 1598: Chapter 1597 Who Dares Say He’s Not a Talent_1

Not a single person believed that Peter Brown could defeat Rylan Williams in this computer matter, after all, families who had studied abroad were held in awe by everyone.

"Then, please, Mr. Williams, set a question." The calm exhibited by Peter Brown was such that no one could tell what he was thinking from his expression.

Rylan Williams smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, I don’t want anyone to make accusations, so do we have anyone here who understands English to act as a judge?"

Henry Ford replied bitterly, "I suppose there are quite a few who know some words, but not many who can really converse."

Peter didn’t care anymore, realizing he had to show his capability, he simply said generously, "Mr. Williams, there’s no need to find a judge. I trust you have that much integrity."

Rylan Williams stared at Peter for a while and then nodded firmly, "Alright, since you put it that way, I won’t set any questions. Let’s start with a vocabulary contest. If you can recite three thousand words in one go, I’ll concede your victory."

Peter replied, "That’s fine. I just happened to have finished the English-Chinese Dictionary, so I’ll recite it in order for everyone to hear."

As he spoke, Peter rose and headed to the office. He quickly returned with a thick dictionary, and placed it in front of Rylan Williams saying, "You watch, I’ll start from the first word and recite."

Rylan Williams held the dictionary Peter had handed him and was somewhat stunned, glancing at the dictionary, then at Peter, not knowing what to say in that moment.

Not only Rylan Williams, but everyone seated there was astonished too.

After a moment of stunned silence, Rylan Williams asked, "Are you really going to recite from the beginning?"

"It’s no big deal. I’ll recite quickly; you just watch."

Rylan Williams said, "Let’s have a few people, everyone watch together."

Soon, a few leaders and workers were sent up on stage.

"We can start now," Rylan Williams said, glancing at the dictionary, unable to believe that Peter could actually recite it.

However, as Peter began to recite, everyone was taken aback.

All could hear Peter’s extremely fast pace, yet every single word was so clear. As pages were turned, those selected to observe found no errors, and they watched, their eyes wide open.

Rylan Williams was also shocked at this point, constantly watching Peter.

"That’s enough, it’s okay now."

Rylan Williams hadn’t expected Peter to be able to recite such material and was left feeling somewhat speechless.

That said, Rylan Williams began speaking in English to Peter.

It must be said that Rylan Williams was someone who had lived in the United States for a while and his oral English was quite good.

But when Peter started to respond, Rylan Williams could only offer a wry smile. Compared to Peter’s pronunciation, his own sounded like someone speaking a dialect attempting to communicate with someone speaking standard Mandarin, leaving his face blushing, especially since Peter was occasionally making statements that he found quite difficult to understand.

After some thought, Rylan Williams decided he needed to test Peter’s computer knowledge. So, he asked about some computer-related matters in English.

Yet what frustrated Rylan Williams even more was that Peter’s knowledge in this area far surpassed his, no matter how he asked, Peter’s answers were very precise, and at times, Peter mentioned things he had never even heard of.

Damn!

Rylan Williams really wanted to curse, wondering where this freak had come from.

After being stumped by a few of Peter’s questions, Rylan Williams realized that his own rudimentary computer knowledge was childishly basic compared to Peter’s.

Was there any need to ask?

At that moment, Peter took out his cell phone and said, "I recorded our conversation. If anyone doubts, they can ask for it to be authenticated."

He even recorded it!

At this point, everyone truly looked on with full admiration. They had never expected such an impressive person to be among them. Although Mr. Williams had not declared victory or defeat, they could tell from his expression that looked as if he had eaten excrement that Peter had utterly defeated Mr. Williams.

Then, Mr. Williams glanced at Peter’s cell phone and suddenly smiled, saying loudly, "Very well, from this incident, we should realize that rumors cannot be trusted. Before coming here, I heard people say that Comrade Peter lacked ability and was not a talent. I, too, listened to that talk, but today I have come to understand the true situation. Comrade Peter, I indeed consider you a talent. Not only is your foreign language knowledge solid, but your computer knowledge is also extremely awesome. If such a comrade is not called a talent, then what defines a talent? Therefore, regarding the subsidiary’s decision to identify Peter as a talent, I fully support it with both hands."

At this, he actually stood up and bowed deeply to Peter, saying, "Comrade Peter, please accept my bow, I misunderstood you."

Peter had not expected this move from him, but seeing such an attitude, Peter couldn’t very well persist ungraciously and smiled, saying, "It’s for my own good that the leader tests me. I feel like Mr. Williams has certified my name by testing me this way; I should thank Mr. Williams."

Laughing heartily, Rylan Williams said, "Since Comrade Peter is indeed a talent, our subsidiary must not mistreat talent. Peter, to express my apology, the company will reimburse the costs for your house renovation. I approve this decision."

There was such a thing?

Everyone looked towards Rylan Williams.

Peter also glanced at Rylan Williams, thinking to himself that the young man was not clueless but actually quite a difficult person to deal with; he would need to be more cautious around him in the future.

Of course, Peter knew that after this incident, his status as a talent was now confirmed, and no one would hold this issue over him any longer.

When he looked at Henry Ford, Peter could feel Henry’s joy for him.

"Peter, please sit down. We need to do our company’s work well from now on."

Peter sat down.

The human resources director smiled and said, "Very good. Today I’ve really broadened my horizons. I didn’t expect our company to have such a talent. Comrade Peter, with your abilities, you should be working at the group company. It’s a bit underutilizing to have you as the deputy director of the office here!"

Rylan Williams waved his hand and said, "We can also make good use of Comrade Peter’s abilities here; he’s not going anywhere."

Everyone seated there was filled with amazement, thinking that Peter, who had seemed to be in trouble at the start, had turned the tables so quickly. With this event unfolding, even if Rylan Williams wanted to bring Peter down, he would now need a fitting excuse in order to do so.
