Bai Qianmo chuckled and took a sip of coffee: "However, I value talent. If someone's abilities are exceptional, it's not impossible for them to stay. How about this, give them the opportunity to choose for themselves. If these thirty-six people are willing to stay, they will need to start as entry-level employees at Fansheng, with a three-month probationary period. After passing the probation, they can return to their original departments."
Li Song frowned slightly.
“Entry-level positions are mostly filled by recent college graduates. Asking people with several years of work experience to compete with fresh graduates for jobs at the grassroots level might make them think that you, the boss, are deliberately humiliating them.”
"So I gave them the right to choose for themselves. I felt that I was not even as good as college students, and staying here would only be a burden to the company."
"I understand. Okay, I'll go tell them right away. By the way, the opening ceremony for 'Seven' is today, scheduled for 3 p.m. Director Jiang wants you to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Bai Qianmo raised her wrist to check the time; it was almost midnight.
"Okay, I'll try to get there on time. Also, have Chen Xiang help me choose two capable assistants. There are no age or academic restrictions, the only requirement is that they are quick-witted and have strong adaptability."
"Okay, I'll go and inform Chen Xiang right away."
Li Song left
Bai Qianmo stood up and walked towards the large floor-to-ceiling window behind her.
His calm eyes gazed upon the most prosperous area of the capital, located in the commercial center, with bustling traffic below, and the largest shopping mall in the capital.
This will also be the first stop for her to build a new business empire in China!

Li Song gathered the 36 employees who had switched jobs from Tengyue together for a small meeting.
"Brother Li, is the boss going to fire us right now?"
Li Song didn't speak, but his gaze swept over everyone present. Seeing their worried expressions, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Judging from Brother Li's expression, I'm probably right."
One of the female employees said angrily, "The boss is really ruthless. Back when Tengyue was penniless, didn't we share the hardships with her? Later, Tengyue was suppressed by Fansheng and was on the verge of bankruptcy. We are just employees. We can't lose our jobs because of the company, can we? At this time, Fansheng is offering tempting conditions. I think any normal person would choose to switch jobs."
Li Song gave the other person a cold, sidelong glance: "Are you saying that neither I nor those who stayed in Tengyue are normal?"
The female employee was momentarily speechless after being rebuked by Li Song, and lowered her head, no longer speaking.
"Although Lina was a bit too direct, most of us had families to support, and we were really on the verge of despair at the time."
Li Song raised an eyebrow and asked abruptly, "Even more desperate than you are now?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, the other party stopped talking.
Li Song cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I'll just ask you one question: during the most difficult period for Tengyue, did the boss ever mistreat you? You received all the salaries, benefits, and bonuses you were entitled to. It was Fansheng's sweet talk that blinded you and led you to switch jobs to Fansheng. So stop making excuses for your betrayal."
"Brother Li, just give us a quick answer. What does the boss mean? If you want us to leave, we're not the kind of people who will cling on forever."
"That's right. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. I left Prosperous City this morning, and I might find something better this afternoon."
"Hehe, look at all the capable ones you are. If you have such abilities, why did you willingly stay in Tengyue back then?"
Despite the boasting, everyone knew the truth in their hearts.
Because of insufficient education and lack of connections, it's already quite good to have a stable job when you come to a first-tier city to make your way in the world.
"I, Li Song, am a sentimental person. Although what you did this time was very underhanded, I still remember our friendship over the years and wish you all a bright future..."
At this point, Li Song suddenly stopped.
The breath that everyone had been holding in their throats suddenly caught in their throats.
"Brother Li, hurry up and tell me."
Li Song chuckled to himself. Having worked alongside his boss for so long, he had learned the trick of keeping people in suspense.
"The boss means that it's up to you whether you stay or leave."
The bespectacled man looked shocked: "Does the boss mean he wants us to stay and continue working at Prosperity?"
"Let me finish. The boss means that if you leave, you can leave immediately. If you want to stay at Fansheng, that's also possible. She values talent, so you will have a three-month internship at Fansheng. As long as you pass it, you can return to your original positions."
"Internship? We're all veterans in this industry, what's there to intern about?"
"Yeah, is the boss trying to humiliate us?"
"Is the boss that kind of person? The boss is now the big boss of Fansheng, with thousands of employees to manage. Where would she have time to humiliate you? Fansheng is not like Tengyue. There are many capable and talented people here. Although you have several years of work experience, once you leave the comfort zone of Tengyue, how are you any different from those fresh graduates?"
Li Song's words silenced the previously indignant employees.
Li Song sighed and glared at them with exasperation.
"My personal wish is that you can all stay. I think the boss is giving you a three-month internship to assess you. Think about Chen Xiang, and you should understand that the boss is not a petty person. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on yourselves."
After thinking calmly for a while, the guy with glasses, who had been the first to switch jobs, gritted his teeth and said, "We can't keep switching jobs. Even if we do, we might not be able to find a better one. Chen Xiang's situation has made me realize that Tengyue's acquisition of Fansheng has also shown me the boss's strength, so I've decided to stay at Fansheng."
The guy with glasses was the key figure; once he spoke, the others immediately made their decisions as well.
"We've decided to stay in Prosperity."
Li Song's eyes crinkled into a smile: "The recent graduates who have entered the prosperous internship program are all very capable people. Here's a piece of advice for you: don't underestimate them!"
"Thank you, Brother Li."
