The new guest from Yuefu Group was stunned when he saw the microphone light on his desk lit up.
He was originally a person who was temporarily pulled in to take the blame. His previous position in the company was similar to Xiao Cheng's. The relationship between the two could not be said to be very good, but they were colleagues who saw each other every day.
It was really too much to ask him to face this situation without any preparation.
Not to mention dealing with emergencies, he even just figured out the rules of this variety show.
His mind raced as he looked at the cameras and the host's expectant eyes, and he felt the pressure growing.
After a long while, he managed to utter a few words: "Well, this job applicant has a rich resume, rich work experience, and all the qualifications are good... We can wait and see the subsequent performance before making a decision."
During this period of time when he was under strong shock, he could only think of this one solution which was half a solution - simply ignore Xiao Cheng's former identity, pretend that the two of them did not know each other, and discuss the matter based entirely on the content of the video information.
As long as he forces himself not to be embarrassed, it is others who will be embarrassed.
At the same time, the new guest from Yuefu Group finally understood why the "You Are the Best Job" program crew suddenly decided to start a live broadcast. Everything can be explained now!
What does it mean to have an evil heart and what does it mean to have evil intentions?
The production team definitely wanted to fully present this embarrassing and effective moment to the audience, so they did this live broadcast! It's simply...
Just as he was cursing in his heart and feeling lucky that he had gotten through, the host seemed to be enjoying the fun and asked, "Teacher Sun, do you have anything else to add?"
What the hell!
How come there is a finishing touch? Other guests have never been treated this way! For others, they always ask the next question after the last one is asked. How can there be any finishing touch?
The guest known as "Teacher Sun" forced a smile: "This is just the first video, so we can't see too much information for now. We can watch it later."
What he had to do now was to delay time and see if he could come up with any reasonable solution.
Why not just... turn off the lights in the next round? If the lights are turned off in the middle, the guests can skip the speech session.
He didn't even say anything, so he wouldn't cause any trouble, right? However, the host seemed to see through his thoughts. He immediately let Lu Shuyuan speak, and handed the microphone to Xiao Cheng, asking: "Excuse me, our job seeker, do you have anything to say to the two guests?"
At this time, not only the guests from Yuefu Group on the stage could not sit still, but even the barrage was full of vitality and everything was competing.
"Hahaha! Did you see the guest from Yuefu Group? Was there a steel needle on his chair?!"
"He looks just like me when I'm holding my pee..."
"Ahhhh, this is so embarrassing. I, a person watching the live broadcast, feel extremely embarrassed. It's hard to imagine how embarrassed the people on the stage must be."
"He can still force a smile at this time. His mind must be replaying the happiest things in his life over and over again, right?"
"No wonder they have to do a live broadcast. I can only say that the production team is really ruthless for the sake of the show's effects."
"No Prize Contest - Guess how this will end?"
"There are only three possibilities. If Yuefu uses the old contract to recruit Xiaocheng back, it will be considered a successful defense by Yuefu. If Kuiguang Group poaches Xiaocheng away, it will be considered a complete victory for Kuiguang Group. If Xiaocheng is taken away by another company, it will be a matter of face for both parties."
As for the situation where Xiao Cheng was hired for nothing, it should not happen.
Putting aside his previous identity as a guest, judging from his resume, regardless of whether he can get the same treatment as before, at least it is not difficult for him to find a decent job in a large company.
"I think it's 2. I don't think Kuiguang Group will give Yuefu Group this face. If both companies offer conditions, Xiaocheng will definitely choose Kuiguang Group's contract."
"Conspiracy theorists think it's 1. Maybe this is a trap set by Yuefu Group for Kuiguang Group?"
"3, right? Both companies are in the entertainment industry. Even though they had a falling out before, they should both give each other some face in a variety show with such a high viewership. It's just my personal opinion."
"I think 2..."
"I think..."
“…”
At this time, Xiao Cheng took the microphone on the stage and said, "Thank you for the compliments, teachers. The reason why I can stand in this position now is because I still have some deficiencies in my abilities and need to learn more."
"I would like to thank the production team and all the guests for letting me stand on this stage. There is only one word in my heart right now, and that is gratitude!"
Well, the "favor" that Yuefu Group has shown him will be compounded in interest, and he will never be able to repay it in his lifetime! After saying this, Xiao Cheng nodded sincerely and handed the microphone back to the host.
The host kept smiling: "Okay, then please invite the next guest, Mr. Lu, the director of the human resources department of Kuiguang Group, to speak."
Lu Shuyuan sat forward a little, picked up the microphone and said, "This job applicant's video production is very professional and his resume is also very impressive, but I have a small question here. Since you are so professional and have made such great contributions, why did you leave your previous company? If you don't mind, can you explain it to me?"
Of course, these words were not Lu Shuyuan's own opinion.
Instead, it is a unique skill that came up with a certain bored boss who is now sitting in front of the computer and playing with a large number of barrages.
Asking this question can not only increase the effect of the show and deepen the hatred with Yuefu Group, but also show from Xiao Cheng's answer whether he really wants to cooperate with Kuiguang Group.
After all, Xiao Cheng’s resignation might also be a double act performed by Yuefu Group in counterattack.
If at the end of the variety show, the fired Xiao Cheng chose Yuefu Group over the two companies, wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment? Doesn't this mean that Xiao Cheng would rather return to the embrace of his old employer who just fired him than go to Kuiguang Group?
Although Mr. Yang has been trapped in the cage of success for nearly a year, after all, he has been a boss for so long that he still has this most basic sensitivity.
Yang Ruoqian just had some bad luck, but he was still very capable in guarding against villains.
The possibility of cheating Kuiguang Group through this method is basically zero.
Lu Shuyuan did not discuss this issue with Xiao Cheng in advance. Only she and Yang Ruoqian knew about it.
If Xiao Cheng chose to avoid conflicts with Yuefu Group as much as possible when facing this issue on the variety show, it means that he had other plans and could not fall out with his old employer on the show. All his previous expressions of resentment were pretended.
In that case, Lu Shuyuan could simply turn off the lights.
And if Xiao Cheng does not hide his malice towards Yuefu Group, speaks the truth of the matter in a sarcastic manner, and chooses to completely turn against Yuefu Group in public without any prior knowledge, it means that he has indeed fallen out with his old employer.
When Xiao Cheng heard this question, he said without even thinking, "For reasons that are well known to everyone, I made a low-level mistake at work, which caused the company a direct economic loss of tens of thousands of yuan, and I was fired by my leader."
"I admit that this was indeed my mistake. I accept all the punishments from the company without complaint! Here, I also want to say sorry to my old employer! I'm sorry that you lost tens of thousands of dollars because of my mistake at work!"
The new guest from Yuefu Group turned green when he heard this.
Taken alone, this statement seems to be fine.
But considering Xiao Cheng's dismissal and the video just now, the sarcasm of this sentence is far greater than "apology."
Judging from the video and resume that have just been released, Xiao Cheng has a sharp eye and has recruited many talents for Yuefu Group, and even poached many talents from other places. The direct and economic benefits he brings to the company are at least in the millions every year.
It is really unconscionable that such a person was fired because of a mistake worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Lu Shuyuan nodded and asked, "You are talking about direct economic losses. What about other things besides economic losses? For example, the corporate image of your former employer?"
Xiao Cheng answered fluently again: "Teacher Lu, how can we lose something we don't have?"
Everyone, from anchors to viewers to employees, knows about the bad reputation of Yuefu Group, and even some people outside the circle have heard of it.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight laugh from the audience.
In variety shows like this, not all the audience members are hired as agents. About one-third of them, who sit in less conspicuous positions, are actual ticket buyers.
Ticket revenue is not the main source of income for this type of variety show, but any amount of money that can be recouped is welcome.
Anyway, two-thirds of the people are enough to easily drive the atmosphere on the scene.
To put it another way, even if this part of the audience couldn't help themselves and didn't follow the rhythm of the agents, this clip could be deleted in the later editing version.
However, it’s live now.
The roar of laughter reached his ears, and the guest from Yuefu Group just hoped that the variety show would end quickly so that he could leave this damn place as soon as possible.
It was so embarrassing! He couldn't even find the words to refute, because Xiao Cheng's attitude was very sincere, and the video describing his achievements was made for job hunting, and there was no causal logic with the following paragraph!
There was no excuse to even say that Xiao Cheng was being sarcastic.
In fact, this is true. Yuefu Group fired Xiao Cheng because of a loss of tens of thousands of dollars.
Let that "Nobel Prize candidate" work in the company for half a year with a fixed salary, and then secretly fire him after the heat has passed. This will not bring much loss in total.
As for the corporate image, as Xiao Cheng said, it is something that does not exist for Yuefu Group.
Lu Shuyuan got the answer, so she nodded with satisfaction: "I have finished asking questions, let's invite the next guest."
“…”
In Jinhai City, Chang Zhiqing, who was watching the live variety show with Yang Ruoqian, exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, when did Xiao Lu become so amazing?"
After saying that, she poked Yang Ruoqian's shoulder and said, "I don't think Xiao Lu is capable of this. Did you give him some advice from behind?"
Yang Ruoqian did not hide it: "Yes, I asked her to ask this question during the question-and-answer session. It was just right to see if Xiao Cheng was sent by Yuefu Group to play double-act. Now he has passed this test."
Chang Zhiqing blinked: "Why don't I know?"
"I'm telling you the spoiler so early, what's the fun in watching it?" Yang Ruoqian said confidently, "Think about it, if I didn't tell you about this, you would have fun watching it. Although I knew the truth in advance, I can share the truth with you now, which is great... But if I tell you, now we are both the ones who have been spoiled, how boring!"
Chang Zhiqing was taken aback. After thinking carefully for a while, she nodded in confusion: "It seems to be true. What you said makes sense..."
“…”
As the two chatted, the awkward question-and-answer session quickly came to an end.
The other guests were not fools either. They naturally saw that the first job seeker in today’s variety show was centered around Kuiguang Group and Yuefu Group, and they were just supporting roles.
Moreover, after all, we have been "companions" in the guest seats for so long, so it's okay to give them some face.
"The first round of questions and answers is over. Now please play the second video on the big screen!"
As if he was worried that the same scene of being publicly executed in front of countless viewers and even his direct superiors would happen again, this round of video was only half played and "Teacher Sun" hastily pressed the reject button.
At least, they cannot show that Yuefu Group regrets making the decision to fire Xiao Cheng.
"well."
After all, they have cooperated several times before, so the host did not continue to embarrass Yuefu Group this time: "Congratulations, job seeker, there are still four guests who will keep their lights on for you. Now you have successfully entered the second stage, choose to switch!"
"After the guests from the four companies have made their offers, you can choose the company you like best to join. There are not many job seekers who can come to this stage. Do you have any comments you would like to say?"
Xiao Cheng, who was determined to embarrass his old employer, said without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you very much. But I came to participate in the show this time just for Kuiguang Group. Thank you, thank you very much."
He was very grateful that the guests were willing to give him face.
The host said with a long "Oh": "Job seeker, are you sure you don't want to take a look at the conditions offered by other guests? There will be no chance to regret after you refuse!"
Xiao Cheng didn't even look at his old colleague's face, and nodded: "Sure."
Half of the revenge has been achieved, now it’s time to look at my future.
As long as the salary offered by Kuiguang Group is greater than 15,000, it can be considered to have saved face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights of the other guests went out instantly.
The host pointed in Lu Shuyuan's direction with his palm: "Then please give the final treatment, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Shuyuan nodded slightly and pressed the contract display button.
The entire venue was silent for a moment.
After a few seconds, the host exclaimed: "4, a five-digit number starting with 4?!"
"Well, what is the position of the head of the external talent excavation department?" (End of this chapter)
