Chapter 5: Is There Such a Feature?

"What we want to do isn't just throw around empty promises. We're talking about real, tangible change—food, clothing, housing, transportation—every part of life. We'll bring benefits straight to the people, win them over with our products, and make everyone feel lucky that our company exists!"

Song Jiang paused and looked at Zhao Mingxuan, whose face was getting more and more confused.

"...Hu—" He took a deep breath and cut the nonsense.

"In short—we make the money other companies are too scared to make!"

"We innovate what other companies don't dare to touch!"

"We give the benefits other companies wouldn't dream of giving!"

"And we take holidays that no other company would ever allow!!"

"Do you get it?"

"I get it!!"

Zhao Mingxuan's eyes were shining. In his mind, there was only one thought—This man is a saint!

But then reality hit.

"Boss, aren't you… gonna lose money?"

"Lose money?" Song Jiang sneered. My salary is fixed. No matter how much money we burn, it won't be me who's losing out! He patted Zhao Mingxuan's shoulder.

"Lao Zhao! I was playing games earlier, sure, but I still paid attention to what was going on. You're being too picky with the hiring. Just find the right people!" He paused and added, "College students might be dumb, but they adapt fast!"

"But—"

"No buts! I'll show you how it's done!"

Song Jiang turned around and waved at a male student standing nearby.

The guy looked left, looked right, and then pointed at himself, confused.

"Yeah, you!"

The guy hesitated for half a second, then ran over. Zhao Mingxuan watched his boss make a very questionable hiring decision in real-time.

"What's your major?"

"Uh, Business Administration."

"Ah! A classic fluff degree."

"Exactly!" The student complained. "I was an idiot back then and picked this useless major. Now I regret it so bad!"

"Who doesn't?" Song Jiang sighed. "If I could go back four years, I'd slap myself in the face!"

"Damn, bro, that's hardcore." The student gave him a thumbs up, then asked, "By the way, what's your position?"

"I'm hiring."

"Wait—WHAT?"

"Yep. And congratulations, you just passed the interview."

"...What the f*?**"

"5,000 a month. Two days off. You want it?"

"HELL YEAH!!"

"Alright. Stand behind me."

The student immediately snapped to attention behind Song Jiang like he had just been drafted into the army. The entire interview had taken under three minutes.

Zhao Mingxuan was in shock.

This… this was way too casual! Shouldn't they at least consider a person's qualifications?!

Song Jiang saw his dumbfounded expression and patted his shoulder reassuringly.

"Lao Zhao, you're expecting too much from fresh grads. They're basically blank slates after four years of college. Whether they turn out good or bad depends on us!"

"In other words, be mentally prepared to hire idiots first."

Zhao Mingxuan's mouth twitched. "Boss, this…"

"Hey! No more complaining. Your turn. Recruit someone."

"…Huh?"

Before Zhao Mingxuan could process what was happening, Song Jiang had already pulled out his phone and started a countdown.

03:00… 02:59… 02:58…

The constantly ticking numbers made Zhao Mingxuan's heart race.

In that moment, something inside him switched on. His brain snapped into high-speed mode, and his thinking became razor-sharp.

He quickly scanned the crowd. A person's first impression could tell you a lot.

Dirt under the nails? Careless personality, doesn't follow rules.Shifty eyes, hunched posture? Probably a hardcore gamer, lacks focus.Neatly dressed, suit and tie? Has higher ambitions.

Time ticked away until his eyes locked onto a target—a girl wearing glasses.

00:36.

Half a minute left.

Zhao Mingxuan dashed forward. Song Jiang followed three steps behind, watching with curiosity.

"You're looking for a clerical job?"

The girl hesitated. "Uh… yeah?"

"The market rate for clerks is 4,200 a month, usually with only one day off per week. I'm offering 4,200 during the internship period, 5,000 after you go full-time." He paused for effect. "And two days off per week."

The girl blinked, processing the offer. "How long is the internship period?"

"Three months. But if you do well, you can go full-time earlier."

"...Sounds good."

"Great. Go register over there."

The girl nodded, walked to the booth, and signed her name.

The countdown hit 00:01.

Zhao Mingxuan let out a relieved sigh, feeling like he had just defused a bomb.

Song Jiang, watching from the side, stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This guy…

Did he just get way more efficient under pressure?

Curious, Song Jiang opened his staff panel to check.

[Name: Zhao Mingxuan]

Age: 38 Star Rating: Two stars Trait: Master of Time Management Skills: Reporting (Lv. 1), Management (Lv. 6), Coordination (Lv. 3), Sales (Lv. 3)

"Master of Time Management?"

Was this why he suddenly became a hiring machine just now?

His thoughts were interrupted by Zhao Mingxuan's hesitant voice.

"Boss, I offered her 4,200 during the internship and 5,000 after. Is… that okay?"

"Of course." Song Jiang grinned, knowing exactly what he was worried about. "Didn't I say? We'll offer what other companies don't dare to give."

Zhao Mingxuan was speechless.

Meanwhile, their new hire was thrilled.

"Boss, can I get a raise if I work hard?"

"If you do well, I'll give you a raise."

"YES!!"

The girl's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Only Zhao Mingxuan was breaking out in a cold sweat.

If we keep hiring people like this… won't we go bankrupt in a few months?!

At that moment, Song Jiang checked the staff panel for their new hires.

Song Jiang stared at the second one for a long time.

"...What kind of weird talent pool am I building?"
