"We have news. The Foreign Guests Hotel is hiring waiters."
Qu Lixin was very excited after hearing this, "When do I register?"
"Before noon tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qu Lixin said, "I'll ask for leave and hitch a ride with you, okay? I'll pay you."
Ouyang Weidong readily agreed, "Of course, no money required. Aren't we friends? If it weren't for you, I'd probably be home by now. It might be a bit cramped though, there's a lot of cargo today, and there's a support staff member on the truck to help unload it."
Qu Lixin then realized that Ouyang Weidong's words were not just polite formalities, but a genuine expression of his belief that he had helped him. He had helped Ouyang Weidong for money, but had received gratitude in return.
Qu Lixin's eyes shone brightly, "My good friend."
"Okay, you can go ask for leave first. I still have a few factories to load goods over. We can meet at the intersection ahead, or if you're going to arrive early, you can wait for me at the steel mill gate."
Qu Lixin nodded, checked the shipping order, and hurriedly went back to ask for leave.
Wow, the view from that truck is amazing!
[New here? We've been driving around in Ouyang Weidong's livestream these past few days, hehe. The foreign guest hotel is packed with people, it looks so lively. I saw a lot of NPCs couldn't resist peeking inside, it felt like the roles of the observer and the observed had switched, it's hilarious.]
Are there exams for hotel servers who cater to foreign guests? I'm a little curious.
[Just came from Qu Lixin's live stream. I've been watching him roast coffee lately, and I almost know how! I just bought a small roaster, but I didn't expect it to be so "small." My wife has already given me a lecture.]
Why buy a roaster? Just go to a dry goods store and have the owner roast the coffee beans for you. A batch of roasted peanuts and coffee beans will give your coffee a slightly nutty aroma, not bad!
Why doesn't Feiyang Entertainment open an online store?! My child has been watching their live stream from the foreign guest hotel for three days straight, and is craving it! Can anyone do something about this?!
Wow, hotel servers for foreign guests are required to speak at least one foreign language?!
[Hasn't this just walked right into our line of fire? Now the younger contestants have really widened the gap between themselves and the middle-aged and older contestants.]
[No, hasn't your knowledge deteriorated since you graduated?]
Even a slight regression is better than nothing!
Qu Lixin was a little nervous when he heard the requirements. After registering, he asked about the exam content. There would be a written test first, followed by an oral test. The exam would be held tomorrow afternoon. There were 5 positions available this time.
More than 30 people have already signed up, and there are a total of 50 spots available.
Qu Lixin thought to himself, "Luckily I took leave to register. Otherwise, if I had waited until tomorrow, I probably wouldn't have had a chance." He bought three bottles of salty soda and offered them to Ouyang Weidong and the logistics staff on the bus. Not to mention, the prices at the foreign guests' hotel were even higher than those at state-run stores, and even more expensive than the internal prices for factory employees.
Qu Lixin sipped his salty soda while peering through the glass window at the foreign guest hotel. It was packed with people, all tourists. He couldn't help but be surprised to see them taking out their phones to take pictures; he hadn't touched a phone in ages! It felt like something from the last century.
He was engrossed in watching, unaware that the tourists were equally astonished as he looked at them.
"It's Qu Lixin!"
"Is this fake? Everyone's dressed the same."
"It's Qu Lixin, I'm sure of it! The richest man!!"
The windows of the foreign guest hotel were very soundproof, so Qu Lixin didn't hear anyone calling his name, but he could vaguely hear something about the richest man.
Did these people recognize Qu Lixin?
[They look like it; they've already started taking pictures, so they probably recognized me. It's just that the mountain gate and windows aren't open, so I guess we can only see me through the glass.]
Is this show really that popular?
[Of course! Haven't you seen who's trending every few days? Who's the real kingpin in the entertainment industry? It's none other than CEO Lin of Feiyang Entertainment! CEO Lin, considering how much I'm fawning over you, could you please open the park soon?!]
[When will Feiyang Entertainment release another suspense drama? My kid has practically worn out "The Murderer"! The more he watches it, the more he appreciates its excellent production quality and superb acting. The actor playing the murderer lies the whole time, but upon closer inspection, his expressions show absolutely no sign of wrongdoing; he's incredibly resolute. My friend, who studies psychology, watched it with me for the first time and couldn't tell at all that this person was the murderer. It wasn't until later, when the truth was revealed, that he was shocked and said there was something fishy about this guy. Finally, I don't have to listen to him spoil the murderer with his micro-expressions while watching a suspense drama anymore—it's so satisfying!!]
Rumor has it that Feiyang Entertainment is planning a massive project with an unimaginably large investment; the news has already spread throughout the industry.
What big project?! Tell me about it, but don't say anything if you can't finish the story.
[I've heard that too. Aside from those signed to M platform who are tied down by their companies, all the other actors in the industry have gone there. However, I heard the requirements are very high, and they're not revealing who's been auditioned.]
Jiang Yun, from the M platform, had just allocated some money from his account to buy traffic for the "Job Fair," and just as the trending topic was about to rise, #FeiyangEntertainmentHasABigProjectIsComing# exploded.
In order to get Jiang Yun to bring the M platform along, Lin Xiaoxiao even had Secretary Zhao call the other party and say that she was about to start a big project worth 2 billion yuan.
As for why she didn't call Jiang Yun herself, it's because Lin Xiaoxiao had been blocked by him.
Jiang Yun was so angry that she smashed the teacup on the table. This was outrageous! They paid money to buy trending topics, but they still couldn't beat someone who didn't spend any money!! And a project worth 2 billion, the M platform couldn't even get 500 million.
After the "Job Fair" aired, Jiang Yun also tried to follow Feiyang Entertainment's approach and started a live stream. However, not only did the live stream have no viewers, but the actor job seekers they had painstakingly found were also recognized as professional actors.
