Chapter 166: Those Who Chase Their Dreams (Part 2)

“Based on my work experience and social exposure, there aren’t many people in our provincial city with Internet experience.”

“Most of them are concentrated in major cities like Beijing or Shanghai.”

“For example, Zhongguancun in Beijing, companies like Sohu, NetEase, and in the south, Tencent, and so on.”

“While the physical distance is vast, the Internet knows no bounds. We can attract their attention through online platforms, such as Tianya Forum and 52PK Forum in their technology sections, with clever planning, or through friends, classmates, headhunters, and other means to dig out the talents we need.”

“However, these efforts require a certain cost. If the company can fully support it, it should not be a problem.”

“For positions that don’t require top talents, we can also use campus recruitment, visiting various universities or job markets for fresh graduates, through internal recruitment, newspaper advertising, and other methods to recruit.”

“The only downside is quite clear; although the salaries might be lower, the people we hire are all newfish, requiring a period of training and screening.”

The answer was excellent. It was surprising that she, an HR manager, even knew about NetEase and Tencent, matching her profession. How did she know so much?

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t ponder further and made a prompt decision to draft the contract.

Marina was prepared and handed over the contract.

Zhao Qingfeng reviewed it and found no major issues.

He looked up at Marina, noticing she seemed hesitant to speak, and asked, “Is there anything else you want to say? Just speak up. If not, I’ll sign it now. From this moment, you’ll start recruiting here on behalf of me. I’ll give you the company’s address, and work starts at 9 a.m. tomorrow.”

Marina shook her head and then nodded.

After signing the agreement.

Zhao Qingfeng instructed her, “Apart from recruiting a cleaning lady and an accountant, we currently need to hire 5 R&D personnel. You decide on the cleaning lady and the accountant. As for R&D, after you confirm the candidates, have them come to the company tomorrow morning for me to interview personally. Also, your salary starts now, with no probation period. Remember, our company operates on a four days on, three days off schedule, all holidays are observed, with flexible working hours. The only requirement is that the employees must be competent, easygoing, and cheerful. I don’t want anyone who is petty and likes to quibble, understand?”

After finishing.

Zhao Qingfeng went out to buy her a cold noodle dish and a drink.

He left them on the table and left nonchalantly.

Marina was somewhat dazed.

Was it just like that?

It seemed too unreal!

She had only come to apply on a whim.

She had not expected this young boss to be so unconventional and easygoing, even stipulating a work schedule of four days on, three days off. How odd. Didn’t he want his employees to be competitive?

Little did she know.

Zhao Qingfeng, in his previous life abroad, always adhered to this work mode and environment.

What he disliked the most was frequent meaningless meetings and those beautifully made but useless PPTs.

They were not only ineffective but also a waste of time. It was better to let employees rest well and come to work in a good mood. This not only prevents slacking off but can also create greater efficiency.

After he left.

Marina pondered for half an hour before starting the recruitment process.

In one afternoon.

She, with her discerning eye, recruited a financial manager named Gao Siqi and four computer science graduates with good personalities.

Leaving one position open.

After instructing them to gather at the company the next morning, Marina packed up and made a call from a phone booth.

“Little Wen, I found a job! It pays 3500. Your parents will definitely be satisfied this time!”

“Really, I’m not lying, at Lingfeng Technology!”

“Of course, you haven’t heard of it. It’s a newly established company, and the boss is very young!”

“What if…”

“What if you just stay, don’t go south. I just got back and don’t want to be apart from you.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to go with you, but if I go, who will take care of my mom?”

“You quit your job to come back for me before, can’t you stay in the provincial city for me now?”

“If you agree to stay, I’ll apply for a high salary for you tomorrow. With the skills you’ve accumulated over the years, you’re sure to impress the boss!”

“What, dreams?”

“Chasing dreams doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go south!”

“I don’t know if the boss understands technology…”

“Alright, just one chance. Come and see for yourself tomorrow. Goodbye!”
