To Zhou Chen's surprise, when everyone else agreed to stay, the bespectacled man took the initiative to apologize in public and expressed his willingness to stay and contribute to the development of the country's technology. He also wanted to bring his classmates who were abroad to join him.
On the way here, Zhou Chen had looked at the bespectacled man's information and learned that the man had been living abroad, graduated from a prestigious university, and majored in computer programming, making him exactly the kind of talent Zhou Chen needed.
Although the bespectacled man was impolite, it's understandable given his status as a returnee from overseas. After all, as highly educated intellectuals, they have their own pride.
The man with glasses was willing to swallow his pride and apologize, which sets him apart from many others. Some people will never admit that others are excellent; they are incredibly stubborn.
Zhou Chen wasn't angry at all, because when he recounted his story, he actually hoped for a sarcastic comment to achieve a better effect. Strictly speaking, the bespectacled man actually helped him, successfully serving as a foil.
Next, we started talking about salary and work. Everyone agrees that salary should match ability. As technical talents, they rely on their skills and dislike people who just coast along.
It took more than two hours from questioning Zhou Chen to admiring and recognizing her, and finally completing the employment contract.
As a witness to the entire process, Su Jiajia couldn't help but admire Zhou Chen's skill in retaining people. Initially, she thought that facing such a group of highly educated individuals, many of whom were worldly-wise, Zhou Chen, a recent high school graduate, would struggle to persuade them to stay, wasting a lot of breath and likely causing several to leave. However, she never expected that Zhou Chen would win them over with a simple 'self-introduction.'
Even the bespectacled man who initially jumped around apologized, his disdain turning into admiration and recognition of Zhou Chen as his boss.
"General Manager Su, have I failed to embarrass you and disappointed you?"
After everyone left, only a few people remained in the office. Zhou Chen looked at Su Jiajia with a half-smile.
Su Jiajia was slightly taken aback, not expecting that her little scheme had not escaped Zhou Chen's keen eyes.
It turned out that Zhou Chen had already guessed that a similar situation would occur, which meant that everything was under Zhou Chen's control.
“I thought you wouldn’t be able to handle things, and that they would all leave, making it impossible for the new company to continue. I underestimated you.”
Su Jiajia spoke very directly, without hiding her true thoughts.
After hearing this, Zhou Chen sighed, "Are you really that pessimistic about entering this field?"
Su Jiajia nodded heavily. "If I were the boss, I would never do this. The risk is too great, and it might even end up with nothing. Especially considering the huge gap between our country's technology and that of the West, the difficulties we would face if we chose this path would be unimaginable."
Zhou Chen wholeheartedly agreed with Su Jiajia's words. She was right; China's current technological level was indeed incomparable to that of the West. But what he wanted to say was, just because we know the gap is large, does that mean we shouldn't do anything about it?
Some things must be done eventually; if you don't do them, you have no say.
Moreover, the technology war that is bound to occur in the future—just imagine the passive situation you would be in if someone imposed a technological blockade on you and prohibited you from using their technology.
If he doesn't do it, no one else will either. If no one in the country does it, how will the country develop in the future? Will it just keep working for the West?
impossible!
There will inevitably be ridicule and difficulties, but we cannot give up because of these. If all the older generation had given up early on, the country would have been torn apart and we wouldn't be where we are today.
He was reborn. Since he had changed his own life and the lives of others, why couldn't he change the fate of the country and make it develop faster?
Therefore, there are some things he will definitely do.
"Because you are not the boss, I am the boss now."
Zhou Chen responded to Su Jiajia's words, saying that the two had different thoughts, so naturally their actions would be different, and their identities would also be different.
Therefore, he is the boss.
Therefore, Su Jiajia is the employee.
Su Jiajia understood Zhou Chen's meaning and instinctively wanted to retort, but she stopped herself when she heard the words. She thought that Zhou Chen's success in having so many businesses today was indeed due to his courage and determination. If Zhou Chen were a coward, she wouldn't be working for him.
"You're the boss, you're always right."
Su Jiajia chose to end the topic herself.
Since she's an employee, she should just follow the boss. As for where she ends up, that's Zhou Chen's problem to consider.
Su Jiajia moved a large stack of employment contracts out of the meeting room.
Only Zhou Chen, Li Kaile, and Tang Wu remained.
"Brother Chen, you were so cool just now."
Once Su Jiajia left, Li Kaile could no longer contain his excitement.
He had been standing next to Zhou Chen, barely daring to breathe. Faced with so many people's doubts, Zhou Chen remained calm and composed, suppressing all the arrogant high-level talents and successfully recruiting them into his ranks.
That's amazing!
If it were him, it would probably have become a joke long ago.
After truly witnessing Zhou Chen's abilities, Li Kaile realized how vast the gap was between them; he indeed had many areas where he needed to grow.
Putting everything else aside, Zhou Chen's aura just now is enough for him to study for a very long time.
"Old Li, after lunch, I'll have General Manager Su take you to the logistics company so you can learn from Tang Jun."
"Brother Chen, aren't you going?"
Li Kaile was stunned.
Zhou Chen shook his head. "I want to go to Yanda University first, I won't go to the company."
Now that he's come to Yanjing, how could he not visit that top university? In his previous life, Yan University was out of reach for him, but now he's about to be a student there, fulfilling his dream.
At noon, at the restaurant arranged by Su Jiajia,
After lunch, Zhou Chen gave some instructions, asking Su Jiajia to arrange for Li Kaile to study at the logistics company until the start of the semester.
Zhou Chen and Tang Wu drove together to the Yenching University campus.
Because they didn't have student IDs and it was during the holiday, Zhou Chen and Tang Wu were stopped by security guards and unable to enter the school.
Zhou Chen actually had a way to get in openly. He just needed to make a phone call to Li Wenyan, the vice president of Yanda University, and the security guards would let him in immediately.
But he didn't do that; instead, he chose to walk around the campus.
After wandering around for about half an hour,
Zhou Chen told Tang Wu to go back and come back when school starts.
Zhou Chen did not stay in Yanjing for long. After making arrangements for Li Kaile, he and Tang Wu returned to Fanjia County.
He needed to make some arrangements before going to university.
After all, once you go to university, you rarely come back.
