15: Chapter 15 International Student Recruitment: First Day Resumes

Qian Xu stood at Jeon Bo-ram's door.

Looking at her messy hair.

The sweat on her face.

"What happened?"

"The air conditioner... the air conditioner is broken."

Jeon Bo-ram pointed inside the room.

"I wanted to turn on the air conditioner just now."

"But it didn't respond when I pressed the remote."

"So I tried to fix it myself."

"And then..."

She smiled sheepishly.

"I made it worse."

Qian Xu looked at her.

"Shall I take a look for you?"

"Can you?"

"Of course."

Jeon Bo-ram quickly stepped aside.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian."

Qian Xu walked into Jeon Bo-ram's home.

It had the same layout as his own.

But the decor was completely different.

It was pink-themed.

Pillows were piled on the sofa.

Snacks were on the coffee table.

There was even a pair of slippers on the floor.

Messy.

But cozy.

He walked over to the air conditioner.

He checked it.

"The remote is out of batteries."

"Huh?"

Jeon Bo-ram froze.

"It's... it's that simple?"

"Yes."

Qian Xu took a battery out of his pocket.

"I have spares at home."

He swapped in the battery.

Pressed the power button.

The air conditioner turned on.

Cool air began to blow.

Jeon Bo-ram stood there with her mouth agape.

"I... I struggled for an hour."

"And it was just out of batteries?"

Qian Xu laughed.

"Try changing the batteries first next time."

"Okay."

Jeon Bo-ram scratched her head.

"Mr. Qian, you're really amazing."

"You can do anything."

"It's not that I'm capable."

Qian Xu looked at her.

"It's that you're too silly."

Jeon Bo-ram blushed.

"I... I'm really not good at taking care of myself."

"Eunjung Unnie always scolds me."

"But I think."

"Having someone willing to help me..."

"...is also a kind of happiness."

Qian Xu paused.

He looked at her.

Jeon Bo-ram lowered her head.

The tips of her ears were red.

"Um... thank you."

"I'll head back now."

Qian Xu turned to leave.

"Mr. Qian!"

Jeon Bo-ram called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

"Tomorrow... I'll cook tomorrow."

"Come over and have a meal."

"Consider it a thank you."

Qian Xu looked at her.

Jeon Bo-ram's eyes were expectant.

"Okay."

Back in his own home.

Qian Xu stood by the window.

Looking at the window next door.

He smiled.

This girl.

She really is very cute.

He opened his phone.

He saw the message Kim Min-jun sent.

"Mr. Qian, official operations start tomorrow."

"I need to recruit a few interns."

"To help handle daily affairs."

Qian Xu thought for a moment.

"Let's recruit Chinese international students."

"Chinese international students?"

"Yes."

"Chinese international students in Korea."

"Give them an internship opportunity."

Kim Min-jun was silent for a few seconds.

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

The next morning.

Qian Xu arrived at the Apgujeong office.

Kim Min-jun was already working.

There was a document on the table.

"Mr. Qian, this is the recruitment announcement."

"Please take a look."

Qian Xu picked it up.

After the message was sent.

Qian Xu sat in the office.

Looking out the window.

The street view of Apgujeong.

The sunlight was just right.

He remembered when he first came to Korea.

He was also an international student.

Also working.

Also discriminated against.

Now.

He wanted to give Chinese international students.

A decent job opportunity.

An environment where they are respected.

His phone rang.

It was a message from Kim Min-jun.

"Mr. Qian, resumes are starting to come in."

"How many?"

"12."

"It's only been ten minutes."

Qian Xu laughed.

"Continue."

At noon.

Qian Xu and Jeon Bo-ram had plans to eat together.

He went home early.

Jeon Bo-ram was already busy in the kitchen.

"Mr. Qian, you're here."

"Sit down, it'll be ready soon."

Qian Xu sat on the sofa.

Watching Jeon Bo-ram busy in the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron.

Her hair was tied up.

She looked serious.

Very cute.

"What did you make?"

"Kimchi fried rice."

"And soybean paste soup."

"And fried eggs."

Jeon Bo-ram served it on the table.

"Try it."

Qian Xu picked up a spoon.

Took a bite.

It tasted better than the last gimbap.

"Not bad."

"Really?"

Jeon Bo-ram's eyes lit up.

"I practiced several times."

"I was afraid it wouldn't taste good."

"It's very delicious."

Qian Xu looked at her.

"You are very talented."

Jeon Bo-ram smiled.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

After eating.

Qian Xu returned to the office.

Kim Min-jun greeted him.

"Mr. Qian, the number of resumes has increased."

"How many?"

"87."

"It's only been half a day."

Qian Xu nodded.

"Keep collecting them."

"We'll screen them tomorrow."

At five o'clock in the afternoon.

Kim Min-jun sent the final data.

"Mr. Qian, we received 132 resumes on the first day."

"132?"

"Yes."

"All are Chinese international students."

"With Korean TOPIK level 5 or above."

"And legal work visas."

Qian Xu looked at his phone screen.

132.

Chinese international students in Seoul.

All looking for work.

All waiting for an opportunity.

"Okay."

"Interviews start tomorrow."

"You are responsible for the initial screening."

"I am responsible for the final interviews."

"Okay."

He hung up.

Qian Xu stood by the window.

Looking at the night view of Seoul.

Neon lights flickered.

Traffic flowed like a river.

This city.

There are 132 Chinese international students here.

Wanting a job.

Wanting an opportunity.

He smiled.

Yunmengze Entertainment.

It's not just a platform for T-ARA's comeback.

It's also a home for Chinese international students in Korea.

The phone rang again.

It was a message from Jeon Bo-ram.

"Mr. Qian, thank you for today."

"The meal was delicious."

"I'll cook next time too."

Qian Xu smiled.

He replied.

"Okay."

"I'll be waiting."

She replied quickly.

"Good night."

"Sweet dreams."

Qian Xu looked at his phone screen.

He smiled.

This girl.

She really is very cute.

The next morning.

Qian Xu arrived at the office.

Kim Min-jun was already prepared.

The screened resumes were on the table.

"Mr. Qian, I've screened 50 resumes."

"All of them meet the requirements."

"Please take a look."

Qian Xu sat down.

He looked through them one by one.

First one: Yonsei University, Korean Language major, TOPIK level 6.

Second one: Korea University, Business major, TOPIK level 5.

Third one: Seoul National University, Media major, TOPIK level 6.

All good schools.

All good students.

"Arrange the interviews."

"Start this afternoon."

"Okay."

Kim Min-jun nodded.

"I'll notify them."

At two o'clock in the afternoon.

The interviews began.

The first one to come in was a girl.

Wearing a white shirt and a black skirt.

Wearing glasses.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Lin."

"Yonsei University, Korean Language major."

"TOPIK level 6."

Qian Xu looked at her.

"Why do you want to come to Yunmengze?"

"Because..."

Zhang Lin thought for a moment.

"Because this is a Chinese company."

"I want to be in Korea."

"Working for a Chinese company."

"I don't want to be discriminated against."

Qian Xu nodded.

"Okay."

"You're hired."

Zhang Lin froze.

"Just like that... I passed?"

"Yes."

"Come to work tomorrow."

Second.

Third.

Fourth.

The interviews were fast.

Qian Xu only asked one question.

"Why do you want to come to Yunmengze?"

The answers were all the same.

"Because it's a Chinese company."

"Because I don't want to be discriminated against."

"Because I want to work for Chinese people."

Qian Xu hired them all.

50 resumes.

He hired all of them.

Kim Min-jun froze.

"Mr. Qian, hire all of them?"

"Yes."

"50 people?"

"Yes."

"But the office is only this big."

"Internships first."

"Those who perform well will be offered full-time positions."

"Those with average performance will leave after the internship ends."

"But the opportunity."

"I'm giving it to everyone."

Kim Min-jun looked at him.

"Mr. Qian, you really are a good person."

"Not a good person."

Qian Xu smiled.

"Just Chinese."

"Helping Chinese people."
