New People

After futile attempts at persuasion, Chang Zhiqing, feeling exasperated, asked, "Alright, you're the boss, so your word is final. But what are the recruitment criteria, how many positions do we need, and what's the compensation? You have to provide some details, right?"

Dealing with such a profligate boss was truly exhausting.

"Three security guards, one cleaner, two receptionists, and find another person to do live streaming," Yang Ruoqian quickly stated, as he had already thought out the plan.

Gao Naiyun had become a somewhat famous internet celebrity, and Yang Ruoqian urgently needed to secure a new streamer since he couldn't exploit the system for more benefits.

Otherwise, as the owner of a profitable and healthy company, he risked starving.

As for compensation for prospective employees, it remained consistent: high salary and excellent benefits, with just one requirement—peace of mind. When it came to the streamer, most of the requirements were superficial, such as a passion for the industry and an entrepreneurial spirit, which sounded impressive but were essentially meaningless.

To discourage capable individuals, Yang Ruoqian deliberately omitted any mention of the streamer's salary, and didn't even provide a rough range, creating an impression of a deceitful boss making grand promises.

Such positions were typically applied for by those with no other options, people rejected by most companies.

This made it easier for Yang Ruoqian to find the "talent" he needed.

"Thank goodness you thought of hiring a streamer instead of a cafeteria lady; the company is saved," Chang Zhiqing quipped as usual.

"Our company isn't that big, and we don't have many people. It's unnecessary," Yang Ruoqian replied.

Chang Zhiqing took a deep breath to calm her skyrocketing blood pressure. "So, what you mean is you actually wanted to hire one, right?"

"Get to work quickly and stop talking!" Yang Ruoqian urged.

The two of them spent several hours registering accounts on various online recruitment platforms and completing verifications. They then filled in Yang Ruoqian's requirements and posted the job listings.

"Ah, it's finally not just the two of us in the company," Chang Zhiqing stretched lazily after completing all the tasks, showcasing her exquisite figure. "As the so-called 'Director,' I can finally have some subordinates."

Glancing at the time, Yang Ruoqian casually asked, "But you still have Gao Naiyun to manage, right?"

"That kid doesn't give me a sense of accomplishment."

Just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the company door. Gao Naiyun, dressed casually with a simple ponytail, rushed in breathlessly and pushed open the glass door.

"Boss, Director Chang!" Gao Naiyun hung her head, speaking softly like a child who had made a mistake. "My flight was delayed, and I—I'm late. I'm so sorry!"

Although they were familiar with each other, Gao Naiyun still automatically addressed them by their titles in the company, adhering to a formality that Yang Ruoqian had never enforced.

Yang Ruoqian waved his hand generously, "It's alright, it's an uncontrollable circumstance, not your fault."

"I'll start my livestream right now!" Gao Naiyun's spirits were high, waving her small fist enthusiastically. "I'll try to gain 500,000 followers!"

500,000 followers? Wouldn't that mean Yang Ruoqian would only earn 5,000 a month from the system?

In the world of transmigration and rebirth, a system that rewarded 5,000 a month was considered laughably low!

Yang Ruoqian immediately began spouting nonsense to deter Gao Naiyun from her dangerous idea. "Efficiency in work requires a balance between labour and rest. If you want more viewers, you need to engage in 'hungry marketing.' You just got off the plane, and your viewers have only recently watched your livestream. Why the rush? You don't need to livestream today. Let's go eat, as we agreed."

Gao Naiyun nodded vigorously, not doubting even for a moment. "Alright, Boss and Director... Director Chang, what would you like to eat?"

Watching this exchange between the two, Chang Zhiqing was dumbfounded. "My good roommate, you don't believe such nonsense, do you? It's as ridiculous as believing that more people will read a novel the more times you break it into chapters. Any normal person wouldn't believe this, right?"

Girl, don't let this unscrupulous capitalist deceive you!

Chang Zhiqing opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but seeing the unwavering trust in Gao Naiyun's eyes, she swallowed her words.

Well, do whatever you want.

Let's just think about what to eat later.

"I want to have hotpot." As a fan of spicy food, Chang Zhiqing suggested, "Gao Naiyun, prepare to shed some blood."

"I have no objections," Yang Ruoqian nodded and shifted his gaze to Gao Naiyun.

Gao Naiyun quickly nodded, saying, "I'll follow the boss's lead."

"You're beyond help!" Chang Zhiqing dragged Gao Naiyun away, frustrated, "How can you just blindly follow the boss like this?"

"But the boss is going to pay me a salary..."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to a nearby hotpot restaurant.

Ding ding...

As soon as they sat down, the phones of Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing simultaneously received notifications. They both lowered their heads and saw messages from the job recruitment platform:

"Dear Employer, you have an unread message from a job applicant."

So fast?

How long had the job listings been posted?

Yang Ruoqian was somewhat surprised. He opened the online recruitment app and found that someone had applied for the anchor position.

"Hello, Boss! I believe I meet your hiring criteria!"

No resume?

Not even a brief introduction?

Yang Ruoqian looked at the message and suddenly became excited. This person seemed unreliable, just the kind of talent he urgently needed!

"What's going on? Online job recruitment platforms are so unreliable," Chang Zhiqing furrowed her brows. "With just this one sentence, how do we know if they meet the interview criteria? Let me request their resume."

"Hey, you've got it wrong," Yang Ruoqian disagreed with Chang Zhiqing's meticulous approach and pointed out, "You need to learn to analyse the essence of things, not just look at the superficialness of a thing. This person didn't submit a resume or ask about the compensation; what does it indicate?"

Chang Zhiqing was baffled, "Indicate what?"

Yang Ruoqian picked up a piece of marbled beef and put it in his mouth, then enigmatically said, "It indicates that this person has full confidence in their abilities and a thorough understanding of the industry. Such a person is exactly the talent we need!"

"Is that so?" Chang Zhiqing was left in a state of bewilderment by Yang Ruoqian's words.

"The boss is right!" Gao Naiyun immediately agreed.

On their phones, the job applicant, seeing no response from the employer, sent another message:

"When can I come for an interview at the company?"

So soon?

This person sure was proactive.

Yang Ruoqian didn't pay much attention to it. He put down his phone and began devouring the food on the table.

After finishing their meal, the three of them returned to Shengjing Haoyuan (the name of the building where Xplendi Group located), the upscale office building where Yang Ruoqian's company was located.

At that moment, a dilapidated Wulin Hongguang minivan pulled into an empty parking space. The engine was turned off, and a man with greasy skin, long hair almost reaching his chest, and a slightly protruding belly got out of the vehicle.

Compared to the nearby well-dressed and successful young professionals, he stood out like a sore thumb. Dressed in an oversized shirt, striped shorts, and sneakers, he looked more like a street thug.

The man looked at the upscale office building, his expression devoid of hesitation. He even muttered some words of encouragement to himself, "Shengjing Haoyuan, Xplendi Group... Come on, Huang Rushi! You can do it!"
