Chapter 48 I'll Help You
Dragging her luggage into the office, Lin Yao unexpectedly felt a sense of belonging. It was as if she had gone through a disaster when she went back to her hometown, and only when she returned here did she feel truly at peace. She had set her destiny, with work as a sense of belonging and saving money as her top priority. "Why have you lost weight, Sister Lin Yao?" Seeing her enter the negotiation room, Song Yihui hurriedly took out the takeout she had ordered for her in advance. Tan Ming and An Nan were eating their lunch boxes nearby, clamoring for the local specialties she brought back. "Song Yihui, help me take the things out of my bag. I'm so tired. I need to take a break." She sat down on a chair, pushed the lunch box in front of her aside, opened the lids of several glass jars of scented tea ingredients on the table, picked out rose, jasmine, and the like, threw them into the glass pot, added water, and boiled the scented tea. Tan Ming sat across from her, joking. "You're a child who's loved by your parents at home, but you don't even get some rest at home. Why are you in such a hurry to come back and take us out for dinner?" "Who's calling me every day? How's your work going?" Tan Ming sat up straighter and cleared his throat. "I've finished one of my two orders and am chasing the payment. They changed their minds about the endocrinology clinical case and won't offer it for now. It's probably dead. The auditor Song Yuqing wanted has already given three recommendations. I've interviewed several headhunters and will prioritize meeting with you in the afternoons. We'll finish by 4 p.m. so you can go home and rest. Report completed." He had communicated with her promptly about all the orders he was handling. They weren't just two or three days' work, and his replies were all repetitive. He knew she wanted to hear from the other two, and they worked in perfect harmony. He then looked at Anan. Anan and Song Yihui's business came under the joint management of Long Wei, who treated them with leniency and didn't put much pressure on them. Lin Yao occasionally had to subtly urge them on, without putting pressure on them to expand their client base. But since the orders he'd worked so hard to secure were now in their hands, they needed to cherish the opportunity. An Nan wiped his mouth after finishing his meal and continued, "I'm in talks with the department director. I have one or two suitable candidates. Sister Wei said she'd provide me with some resources, so I'll try to get a few more as soon as possible. Sister Wei will review them again. I'll have two or three final offers next week and push them forward. It shouldn't be a big problem." Song Yihui was in a bad mood, and Lin Yao noticed something was off the mark the moment he entered. She was still working on a health product development deal from three months ago. After the first interview, she waited a long time for the second, and then there were three more. She thought it was off, but then she was notified of the final interview. That lasted three months and four interviews. If the candidate hadn't been deeply interested in the company, they would have ignored her long ago. A few days ago, the client, perhaps desperate for a position, finally sent back the final interview evaluation, saying they were entering the hiring approval process. She was ecstatic for two days, waiting for the decision, only to be informed by HR that the supervisor had reviewed the salary request and deemed it too high, and that there were other more suitable candidates...
Dragging her luggage into the office, Lin Yao felt a sense of belonging. It felt like a trip back home had been a struggle, but returning here was the only way to find true peace. She had defined her destiny: work was her place of belonging, and saving money was her primary priority.
"Why has Sister Lin Yao lost weight?"
When Song Yihui saw her come into the negotiation room, she hurriedly took out the takeaway that she had ordered for her in advance.
Tan Ming and An Nan were eating their boxed lunches, clamoring for the local specialties she brought back.
"Song Yihui, help me take the things out of my bag. I'm so tired. I'll take a break first."
She sat down on the chair, pushed the lunch box in front of her aside, opened the lids of several glass jars of scented tea on the table, picked out rose, jasmine and the like, threw them into the glass pot, added water and boiled scented tea to drink.
Tan Ming sat across from her and joked, "You're a child who has parents who love you back home. Why don't you just rest a little more at home? Why are you in such a hurry to come back and take us out for dinner?"
"Who calls me every day? How's your work going?"
Tan Ming sat up straighter and cleared his throat. "I've finished one of my two orders and am collecting the payment. They changed their minds about the endocrinology clinical order and won't offer it for now. It's probably dead. The auditor Song Yuqing requested has already given three recommendation reports. I've interviewed several headhunters and will prioritize meeting with you in the afternoons. We'll finish the meeting before 4 p.m. so you can go home and rest early. Report completed."
He had communicated with her promptly about all the items he was handling. These items weren't just the work of the past two or three days, and his replies were all repetitive. He knew she wanted to hear about the other two, and they were working in perfect harmony. He then looked at An Nan.
Anan and Song Yihui's business came under Long Wei's co-management. She treated them with leniency and didn't put much pressure on them. Lin Yao occasionally had to urge them on, but she didn't put pressure on them to expand their client base. However, since the orders she had worked so hard to secure were now in their hands, they needed to cherish the opportunity.
Anan wiped his mouth after finishing his meal and continued, "I'm talking to the department director and there are one or two suitable candidates. Sister Wei said she would give me some resources and try to find a few more as soon as possible. Sister Wei will check it out again. I'll finalize two or three next week and push them over. It shouldn't be a problem."
Song Yihui was in a bad mood, and Lin Yao noticed that something was wrong with her as soon as she entered the room.
She was working on a health product R&D deal three months ago. After the first interview, she waited a long time before the second interview. After the second interview, she had a third interview. She thought it was out of the question, but was notified of the final interview. It took her four interviews in three months. If the candidate had not been very interested in the company, they would have ignored her long ago. A few days ago, the client, probably in a hurry to hire someone, finally gave feedback on the final interview evaluation and said that the recruitment approval process would begin. She was ecstatic for two days, waiting for the final decision, but was notified by HR that the leader's review considered the salary requirement to be too high and there were other more suitable candidates.
She had just been notified this morning, and she was so stressed out she broke down and cried in her office. She hadn't made a single order in three months, and she was about to give up.
She told Lin Yao about the situation, her eyes reddening again, and said that on the day of the final interview, You Ke's headhunter brought the candidate to the interview together, and the person they wanted to hire should be the one recommended by You Ke.
Tan Ming and An Nan then scolded the client a few times, saying that the person they found within the salary range they offered was also in line with the market conditions, and that this would turn against them.
Lin Yao didn't say anything. He poured himself some scented tea and took a few sips. He felt hungry, so he brought the lunch box over to him. "Let's talk about it in my office later. I'll eat first."
There are people who engage in vicious competition everywhere. Seeing Song Yihui's pitiful look, she wants to fight back this time.
After dinner, Song Yihui followed her into the office. She also called Tan Ming.
"Have you seen the person You Ke recommended?" she asked Song Yihui.
"No, my candidate told me. She said that after the interview, she saw someone from Youke waiting with him. She had contacted the headhunter before and knew him. She also knew the candidate they recommended. They were in the same circle. She said that person had good qualifications and abilities. She herself said it would be difficult to compete with him."
"Was it Rita who contacted you?" she asked the client HR.
Song Yihui said it was her.
She and Long Wei have spent a lot of time and effort to maintain this HR. After three years, she has only given him two orders, one last year and one this year, and this order is still in this state.
"You contact your candidate now and ask for background information on the candidate that Yu Ke recommended. I'll call Rita."
She called in front of them and put the call on speaker.
"Hi, Rita, are you busy lately?"
"Same old situation."
"What's the current situation of the person Xiao Song pushed? Is there anything I need to help with?"
"That candidate is good. I pushed her up as hard as I could. Our boss also had a good opinion of her, but there's nothing we can do. The market is bad lately. A very good candidate voluntarily reduced his salary from 60 to 48. The two candidates are equally matched. The other one is a man with a tougher style. He's cheaper, so our boss decided to choose him for cost considerations."
“Have you sent out an offer?”
“Almost.”
"I'd like to know when you'll finally issue an offer so I can arrange for my candidate to talk with another firm. She's been following your process for over three months, waiting. You know, she's still competitive. I prioritize your needs and want a long-term partnership, so I've been holding onto her and can't bear to push her elsewhere. If you're sure you don't need her, that's fine too. I just happen to have another client who urgently needs her, and I can't hold her back any longer."
"The boss has signed it, and we're in urgent need of staff. I'll send you next Monday. Sorry, I'll see you next time I have an order."
Lin He doesn't have any other clients who need this position. They have only served one or two companies in the health products sector.
Song Yihui just sent a message to ask about her candidate and received a reply.
"Zhang Chong from the state-owned enterprise Jiangchun." Song Yihui said.
"It's really risky for someone who has worked in a state-owned enterprise to be willing to work for a start-up company like this. He must have been fooled by You Ke. He probably doesn't understand the market salary situation. His current salary in that unit must be less than 400,000 yuan. Now You Ke has fooled him into making 480,000 yuan, and he thinks it's too much. There is no such thing as a voluntary salary reduction. It's a wicked thing that You Ke did." Lin Yao frowned.
Song Yihui shook her head blankly. "There's nothing we can do. Rita has already gone through the process, so there's nothing we can do about it." "You were slow to react. You should have reported it to Long Wei when you met You Ke that day."
"Rita told me she submitted it for approval and it received very good reviews, so I thought it was fine. But she just told me it wasn't possible this morning, and I didn't have time to tell Sister Wei."
Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "You go ahead. I'll help you. Don't reply to your candidate yet. Just say there's great hope and they'll confirm next week."
"Thank you, Sister Lin Yao."
As soon as Song Yihui left, she asked Tan Ming, "Have you been in contact with Li Yan?"
Tan Ming scratched his head. "He didn't compete with me. We just contacted each other occasionally to exchange industry information."
He told it truthfully.
"Does he have any orders for health product development?"
A few days ago, she glanced at the recruitment information he posted on WeChat Moments and seemed to have similar job requirements.
"I don't know, can you please ask?"
"Find out about the job requirements and tell him to send him a very good candidate privately."
He immediately understood. "I only need half a day, just half a day, and not only Li Yan, but I can get all three companies to renegotiate a better opportunity with Zhang at the same time. The salary is definitely more attractive than his 480,000."
Tan Ming is active and has some connections with other headhunters.
As he was speaking, Long Weihe pushed the door open and said that he would meet her for the interview in the afternoon.
Lin Yao told her the situation.
"I can't stand it any longer. I want Song Yihui's candidate to get the opportunity she's been waiting for three months, and I want her to get paid every penny. I also want Zhang Zhong to understand the market conditions and recommend a more favorable offer to him. And Rita, save some money now. Once Zhang Zhong arrives and understands the private enterprise market, and if she can't adapt to the system, she'll regret leaving sooner or later. If she leaves, they'll have to hire someone else, which will cause even greater losses for the company. Taking action now will benefit everyone and harm no one."
Long Weihe agreed.
"Rita will send out the offer on Monday. I want Zhang Zhong to know the market situation and know that he is very popular by the weekend, so that he won't be fooled by You Ke and suffer losses. If nothing unexpected happens, the person who receives the offer next Monday will most likely be Song Yihui's candidate. I want You Ke to pay for this and let them run around and hurt people." Lin Yao's eyes were ruthless.
Tan Ming went out to do this.
Long Weihe stood next to the desk, looked closely at her face, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for two days. You're back with enhanced fighting power. Are you going to help Song Yihui turn the tide?"
"Can't I vent my anger?"
"Tell me, what happened when you got home? What happened?"
She only mentioned the important people and did not mention the unimportant people.
Long Weihe knew about this person when he was in college. He said, "It's not worth wasting so many years in the void."
"Where's Qian Duoduo?" She remembered that she hadn't seen her little tail.
"As soon as I walked in, Anan caught me and took me to the negotiation room to play chess."
"You're so heartless! You don't even come to see me."
"Can you help me take him down tomorrow? Qian Pingtao is on a business trip."
"Where are you going?"
"I got a call from the company's HR this morning. It was strange that they wanted me to discuss a requirement on a Saturday. So far, this is the first time an HR representative I don't know has approached me to discuss a requirement."
"What company?"
