How about the beautiful CEO's French?

It was an old funny story from a well-known TV job interview show in China, about seven years ago. A man who claimed he had lived in France for 10 years, however, his French ability was questioned by a beautiful CEO. Initially, nearly all the audience, host, and the remaining bosses on-site thought the interviewer was a liar, and suspected the authentication of his certificate. Following this, all the bosses and the host accused the interviewer, and even caused him to faint on the stage.

Interestingly, after the show clip surfaced on the internet. Some people who know French questioned why the interviewer couldn't catch the French question, due to the reason that the CEO's French was really bad. Furthermore, a French consulate confirmed that the certificate from the interviewer was indeed genuine.

Finally, a few days later. The beautiful apologized for her words.

If you know French, you can try to confirm her French ability.

Thank you. Perhaps the French levels of both the CEO and the interviewee were limited.

This is what's known as an incomplete clause and cannot be a sentence. It needs to be connected to another clause.

Aa man who claimed he had lived in France for 10 years, however,ad his French ability was questioned by a beautiful CEO.

this clause connects to the previous clause

Initially, nearly all the audience, host, and the remaining bosses on-site thought the interviewere (candidate) was a liar, and suspected the authentication of his certificate.

I assume you're talking about the man who is getting interviewed? Then it's "interviewee" instead of interviewer, but people don't usually use that word and tend to say candidate.

Following this, all the bosses and the host accused the interviewer,candidate (of faking his French abilities) and even caused him to faint on the stage.

Interestingly, after the show clip surfaced on the internet.,

This is also an incomplete clause and cannot be a sentence on its own.

Ssome people who knoew French questioned why the interviewersuspected that the reason the candidate couldn't catch the French question, due to the reason that was because the CEO's French was really bad.

I think this is what you mean

Furthermore, a French consulate confirmed that the certificate from the interviewercandidate was indeed genuine.

Merely living in a foreign country is no guarantee of proficiency in the language spoken there. (I know some foreigners who have lived in Tokyo for a long time, but they lack proficiency in Japanese.)

ItThere was an old funny story from a well-known TV job interview show in China, about seven years ago.

AThere was a man who claimed he had lived in France for 10 years, however, his French ability was questioned by a beautiful CEO.

Initially, nearly all ththe whole audience, the host, and the remaining bosses on-site thought the interviewer was a liar, and suspected the authentication of his certificate.

Following this, all the bosses and the host accused the interviewer of lying/falsifying his certificate, and even caused him to faint on the stage.

Interestingly, afterthe clip from the show clip surfaced on the internet later.

It's more natural this way

Some people who know French questionedwere asking why the interviewer couldn't catch the French question, due tounderstand the question in French, the reason being that the CEO's French was reallytoo bad.

It's a lot more common to say "asked why" rather than "questioned why." The latter is just more formal.

Furthermore, a French consulate confirmed that the certificate from the interviewer was indeed genuine.

Finally, a few days later.,

This isn't a complete sentence alone - let's add it to the next phrase.

Tthe beautifuly apologized for her words.

Beautiful is an adjective; you can use "beauty" if you are looking for a noun/to reference the woman.

If you know French, you can try to confirm her French ability.

She has a heavy accent. I understood part of what she said:
Pouvez-vous me dire la différence marketing sur ?????? entre la Chine et la France ?

However, I did get the gist of the question: Pouvez-vous me dire quelle est la différence de marketing entre la Chine et la France ?

Thank you for your corrections! I mistakenly used the word "interviewer", that was a big mistake. From your comment, it seems the French ability of both the interviewee and the interviewer was not strong.
