Wu Changfeng arrived in the capital, and according to his plan to start a side business, he would need many more employees.
In this day and age, recruitment is not as convenient as it would be in later years.
In state-owned enterprises, positions are typically passed down from father to son.
The old man has stepped down, the younger one has taken over.
This is the common practice among state-owned enterprises.
Of course, for graduates who are guaranteed job placement, state-owned enterprises will still make arrangements.
This has led to state-owned enterprises continuously expanding some unimportant logistics departments.
For example: a radio station.
A radio station may have dozens of people, but only two are actually broadcasting; the others are just holding positions and receiving salaries.
Some local enterprises and state-owned enterprises have similar practices.
Only township enterprises and small private companies have a demand for talent.
In this era, a secure job is the highest honor in the hearts of ordinary people.
People in towns would rather starve than work in township enterprises.
I can't afford to lose face like that.
Even the Morning Star was built in villages and towns, and the labor force consisted of local farmers.
Farmers don't really have the concept of a secure job.
Making money is all that matters; that's the biggest demand of farmers.
Otherwise, the phenomenon of "migrant workers" would not exist.
Wu Changfeng is now facing a problem.
Office space has been rented.
How should we manage the employees?
This is the capital city, and the local people have an inherent sense of pride and arrogance.
How could I possibly condescend to work for you?
The only way is to find people from other places who are making a living in the capital.
But now.
The conversation between two girls who looked like students at the next table gave Wu Changfeng a new idea.
Peng Miaomiao ate her bread in small bites and took a small sip of her delicious drink.
Then, blushing and squinting, she said, "To be honest... I don't think it tastes as good as a steamed bun..."
Yu Qingmu's eyes widened: "Hey, hey, this is an American-style snack, don't you know?"
"Too expensive!"
"I'm treating, it's not like you're paying."
Peng Miaomiao still said, "It's not worth it. It costs almost a third of my food expenses."
“You,” Yu Qingmu said, “spending ten or so yuan on a meal doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, it’s normal.”
“My family can’t compare to yours,” Peng Miaomiao said, looking down. “My parents are farmers, and I have younger brothers and sisters.”
"If they knew I spent so much money on a meal, they'd be furious."
Yu Qingmu rolled her eyes: "Miaomiao, you finally got into Tsinghua University, and all you do is study all day. You're about to graduate, so you should come out and see the world."
"You're almost completely out of touch with the world, okay?"
"Let me tell you, you don't need to eat steamed buns and drink cold water every day. What's the use of saving that little bit of money?"
"It would be better to spend half of the time you spend reading in the evening doing a small part-time job; your standard of living would improve in no time."
Peng Miaomiao couldn't understand: "Not going to school? Coming out to work? How can that be? My parents would be furious if they found out."
Yu Qingmu immediately threw out a fatal question: "So after you finish your studies, won't you just be working?"
"Either work for a state-owned enterprise or a local enterprise."
"I'll raise your value a bit and get you a job at a research institute."
"Isn't it all just working for someone else? We'll all be working for someone else sooner or later. What's so difficult or shameful about it?"
"Having mastered both literary and martial arts, one can then serve the emperor. It's all the same old story."
Peng Miaomiao's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that she couldn't refute it.
Once you peel back the outer layer, isn't that exactly what's inside?
If I give you money, you have to work for someone else.
If they don't pay, I'll switch to another company.
To put it simply, it's just this little thing.
Peng Miaomiao took a sip of her cola and said, "You...you're really good at taking things easy."
Yu Qingmu was clearly influenced by family pragmatism.
Her family members are probably not ordinary people.
Yu Qingmu raised her chin: "So, don't waste your time on exercises. Just learn them and that's enough. You should take advantage of the fact that you're about to graduate to find a small job and eat well. Look at you, you're as skinny as a stick."
"There's still some time before the postgraduate entrance exam. Keep yourself busy. If you're only focused on textbook knowledge and neglect social skills, that won't do."
Peng Miaomiao pinched the flesh on her stomach; it was dry and brittle.
"So...where can I find odd jobs?"
Yu Qingmu was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "This...that...I don't know either."
Peng Miaomiao saw through it and said, "You're just a theorist! You're all talk and no one can argue with you, but when it comes to a real fight, you fall apart!"
Yu Qingmu tugged at her hair and smiled sheepishly, "I just felt that you shouldn't wrong yourself. As for how to do it, I really don't know. Look, even street sweepers have official positions."
Peng Miaomiao rolled her eyes: "I'm really impressed by you."
"Hello." Wu Changfeng stepped forward to greet them.
Yu Qingmu looked up and frowned: "Who are you? Trying to pick up girls like a hooligan? I'm warning you, stay away."
Peng Miaomiao shrank back, not daring to speak.
Wu Changfeng pulled up a chair, sat down, and placed his hands on the table: "Is there such a handsome little hooligan as me?"
"You're so shameless!" Yu Qingmu said disdainfully.
Wu Changfeng laughed and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Changfeng, and I am the CEO of Qimingxing Industrial Company."
"Heh," Yu Qingmu said, "Never heard of it."
So young, yet so adept at swindling?
Wu Changfeng said with a smile, "I'll get straight to the point and not take up any of your time."
"I recently opened a company in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and I'm currently short-staffed."
