I thanked Ye Zhi, and she said she was just doing her job... However, I knew very well that as long as she was involved in this matter, there was no possibility of her doing it "officially." Because if someone could get her to personally send out resumes, the HR department would definitely approve. Therefore, I concluded that Dai Qiang's chances of getting the job were very high.
With this in mind, I stopped at the service area and called Dai Qiang again. After he answered, he asked me very cautiously, "Brother, is there any news from your wife?"
I replied with a hint of seriousness, "Before we get to this, I have to remind you, once you get to Shanghai, don't even think about the concept of 'sister-in-law,' and definitely don't assume you're special because of connections... You're a man, you have to earn everything yourself, understand?"
"Okay, bro."
"Hmm... She has already replied to me, saying that the recreation department manager of one of their group's hotels is short of an assistant, and that you can give it a try if you're interested."
"That's great... I'll go home and pack my bags to go to Shanghai right away."
"Don't get agitated... I'm a complete novice, could you please explain to me what a recreation department is?"
"Generally, only five-star hotels have recreation departments... The larger the hotel, the more facilities it includes, usually including swimming, sauna, fitness, beauty... Even more impressive ones will have bowling alleys and tennis courts!"
"If our inn also has a recreation club, then that infinity pool should be under the management of the recreation club, is that the understanding?"
"Um... Brother, I'll do my best."
I paused for a moment, then said, "I'll transfer 5,000 yuan to you later. You won't have any income for a while, and you'll need to rent a place to stay over there, which are all expenses."
"Just give me 2,000 yuan. Such a big hotel usually provides accommodation for its employees."
I exclaimed, "Wow, if they provide room and board, then a monthly salary of four thousand yuan after becoming a full-time employee isn't bad at all!"
"Yeah, that's roughly equivalent to a salary of 6,000 yuan... By the way, bro, could you give me your sister-in-law's contact information? I'll treat her to a meal when I get to Shanghai... No other meaning, just a simple thank you."
I paused for a moment, then replied, "We'll talk about it after you get to Shanghai. If you want to invite her to dinner, I'll help you make an appointment... After you meet, you can ask her if she'd like to exchange contact information."
Dai Qiang was a little confused and asked, "Aren't we family? Doesn't it need to be so complicated?"
"This is the Shanghai mindset, you need to learn to adapt... There, especially in the workplace, there's a very strict hierarchy... She's first and foremost your superior, and only then do you..."
I can never bring myself to say the word "sister-in-law" because it feels so awkward.
Dai Qiang did not doubt it. He replied, "I understand. I will be more careful in the future."
...
After ending the call with Dai Qiang, I still transferred 5,000 yuan to him. The reason I gave him more was because I have some understanding of the workplace. As a newcomer, Dai Qiang would inevitably have to treat others to meals after joining the company. And whether he can gain a foothold there depends on how well he handles his relationships with his colleagues.
