Chapter 166: Those Who Chase Their Dreams (Part 1)

After the official opening of the company, Zhao Qingfeng first went to the human resources market, where he spent 50 yuan to rent a recruitment booth.

Then.

He took a careful tour around the market to understand the basic salaries for the respective positions.

Half an hour later.

He printed a conspicuous recruitment advertisement at a nearby copy shop.

The advertisement read: High salary recruitment for HR, finance, R&D, and other positions.

These descriptions weren’t much different from those of other companies.

The only difference was a line at the end stating ‘Lukewarm recruitment ongoing.’

Coupled with his youthful appearance.

Everything seemed quite informal, almost as if it were a hobby.

But.

This was exactly what Zhao Qingfeng intended.

He was looking for young people, wanting the company to always be full of energy and fun, not wanting it to be as dull, rigid, and boring as other companies.

And sure enough.

After the advertisement was posted, it wasn’t ten minutes before it attracted a crowd of onlookers.

But they were just whispering among themselves, with no one coming forward to apply.

Zhao Qingfeng wasn’t in a hurry, leisurely waiting.

Half an hour later, a young woman in her mid-to-late twenties, dressed in professional attire, as if mustering a great deal of courage, approached with a complex expression.

“Hello, I would like to apply for the HR management position at your company. Are you still looking for people? What are the requirements?”

Zhao Qingfeng had actually noticed her earlier.

This woman named Marina had arrived at the job market almost at the same time as Zhao Qingfeng.

However, she had not come to him initially but had been inquiring at the doors of several slightly larger companies, though for some reason, she had not settled on any.

“The HR position is still vacant. I need someone with extensive experience. What are your strengths? Tell me about yourself.”

Zhao Qingfeng showed Marina a copy of the company’s information.

Marina carefully reviewed it.

After confirming there was no issue with the company, she handed over her resume.

“A top student, huh…”

“Graduated from a key university.”

“Six years of HR experience.”

“English level 8.”

“This should be considered high-level talent in the job market. I guess the reason you went around without settling down is mostly because of the salary, right?”

As Zhao Qingfeng finished speaking, Marina nodded shyly.

She indeed needed a high-paying job to prove herself, but the salaries offered by companies in the provincial city were not high, the highest being only 2500 yuan, while she was seeking 3500 yuan, which was far beyond the salary range other companies were prepared to offer.

Seeing Zhao Qingfeng pinpoint the crux of the issue.

Marina did not hide her intentions and straightforwardly said, “I hope the salary can be 3500. If you can offer that, I’m willing to join your company.”

3500 was not an issue for Zhao Qingfeng.

But he had to consider whether it was worth it.

Although Marina seemed good, straightforward in speech, and efficient in action.

Superficial interactions could not prove everything. To want a salary of 3500, one must go through an assessment.

“Here’s the deal, miss.”

“I’ll ask you one question. If you can answer it, I can offer you a salary of 3500.”

“Listen carefully.”

“My Lingfeng Technology is a tech company focusing on software development and internet information technology. The company has just been established, and we may not need many people initially, but in the future, as the company grows, we will definitely need to recruit a large number of technical R&D personnel. So, if you are now the HR leader of the company, how would you plan to conduct effective recruitment?”

After posing the question.

Marina thought for a moment before quickly providing an answer.
