"It's nothing. I think he's a good guy. I'll introduce him to a good job," Xing Baohua said casually.

This woman is a disaster.

It's hard to control; it might explode at any moment.

But if you still want to use her, you have to think carefully about how to use her.

"My supervisor has approved the watch design you drew last time, and we're about to start a model-making experiment based on your design," Xing Baohua said to Guo Hongxia.

"Ah! That's great, I'm so happy to be able to help you." When Guo Hongxia said this, Xing Baohua felt a slight pang in her heart; her expression was too fake.

"I don't have a bonus, but I'll treat you to a meal sometime to express my gratitude for your help." This was just a polite remark; of course, having a meal with the other person wouldn't be a big deal, but the key was to maintain the flow of the conversation.

"No need for that, it's only right to help a friend." Guo Hongxia said this with a hint of expectation in her eyes, which was obviously fake.

Regardless, Xing Baohua knew she would have to put up with it for a while. Recruiting talent was a big deal, so even if she disliked the other party, she had to endure it.

"As an instructor, you must have some students you're close to, right?" Xing Baohua tentatively started chatting with the other person.

"There are some, do you want them?" He blinked slightly as he said this.

What Guo Hongxia really wanted to say was, what type do you want?

She winked playfully, probably trying to mock Xing Baohua for looking down on older women and wanting to find someone younger. Men, they really are all the same.

"Could you ask around among the soon-to-be graduates if anyone's interested in working in Luzhong? The pay is excellent. It's at the Luzhong Electronics Factory, an export company. Excellent performance after a year can lead to an overseas project inspection tour with a delegation." Xing Baohua didn't want to say much more to this person. He just wanted to throw out the bait first.

When Guo Hongxia heard the words "going abroad," her eyes widened as she tried to ask if she could go to that factory.

Xing Baohua quickly said, "Forget about you, but I promise you, if you help me introduce people and successfully work for a full year, I'll find a chance to send you out."

"Really?" Guo Hongxia asked doubtfully.

“I never lie, but you have to remember that giving you the opportunity to go abroad is also a huge risk for me. It’s not easy to arrange things if you’re not part of the same system,” Xing Baohua said, continuing to make connections.

"I'm just curious, since it's an export company, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit people! Why would you use this method?" Guo Hongxia still has some sense.

The fact that she asked that question meant she noticed something was wrong with the factory. But she couldn't understand why companies that could send people abroad for inspections were large, thriving businesses, and why they were hiring in this way.

"The factory is a village-run enterprise, not within the scope of the functional departments' allocation. The talent needed can only be recruited by the factory itself. If we can recruit them, it's a matter of luck; if we can't, it's just a pity," Xing Baohua explained.

Guo Hongxia nodded and then asked, "Why are village-run enterprises allowed to go abroad for inspections?"

“Because their orders are from the United States and Europe. If you want to go abroad, I can only ask people there to help you find a way, not through the factory’s channels.” Xing Baohua also pointed out that Guo Hongxia wanted to go abroad, but she couldn’t let the village’s factory run by cheating her.

Using the name of a village-run factory to leave and then not returning is just creating trouble for the factory. It will be difficult for electronics factories to apply for relocation in the future.

The message has been made very clear: I'm having trouble recruiting, so if you help me get people in, I'll give you another way to go abroad. Whether you want to come back or not is none of that business of the village-run enterprise.

The weighing of interests rested entirely with Guo Hongxia; she either believed Xing Baohua's words or she didn't believe there was still a chance to get out.

Someone who dares to risk everything and go abroad with even a sliver of hope must believe in the promises made by Xing Baohua.

Seeing the ambition in Guo Hongxia's eyes, Xing Baohua knew that his test had been somewhat successful.

If she goes out, she'll have to work incredibly hard to convince people to get jobs in the electronics factory.

After arranging things at the studio, Xing Baohua just waited for news. Actually, he was still very optimistic that Chen Liang would go to his factory.

Maybe it can really help him take on the title of art director in the future.

Artistic director—it's just a fancy title; that title doesn't even exist in this day and age. Xing Baohua's use of it is just a sophisticated way of exaggerating.

The head of the design department sounds like he has more power than the art director; it's just a change of concept.

After leaving the studio, I went to the orchestra.

I wonder how well Mr. Zhao Dechuan has refined that piece; he's still waiting to finish the next one.

Upon entering the rehearsal hall, one sees Mr. Li sitting there enjoying a symphony.

I went up to Grandpa Li and greeted him.

"Have you finished your work over there?" Old Master Li asked, turning his head to look at Xing Baohua.

"I've finished dealing with it. I'm such a busy person, I don't know when I'll be busy again. How's Teacher Zhao's piece coming along?"

"It's great! It's gradually getting interesting, and it's a pleasure to listen to," said Grandpa Li.

"How about we move on to the next piece?"

"When he's done with his work, ask him. If he's not satisfied, then let him continue practicing," said Grandpa Li.

“I bought a set of electric musical instruments during my trip back to central Shandong. They’re Japanese imports, and they’ll be here in a couple of days. Have the person you're in contact with let them know when the instruments arrive. I’m eager to release an album as soon as possible,” Xing Baohua said.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that releasing an album requires meticulous work and a certain period of time?" Grandpa Li said with dissatisfaction.
