175: Chapter 175 The Holiday is Back! The May Day Golden Week is Here!

Chapter 175: Return from Vacation! The May Day Golden Week Approaches!

"Have they not found jobs yet?"

"No, President Su, you know how the decoration industry is right now!" He Jinwei said helplessly. "If it weren't a last resort, I wouldn't want to close the company. But if I keep it running, I won't be able to hold on. It's better to cut my losses now."

"Then let those who are willing to come over have an interview at the company," Su Yang said after some thought. "If they're suitable, we'll take them in."

He still had a good impression of Jiayi Decoration; their long-term cooperation had been quite pleasant.

He was quite stingy with the decoration of the hotpot restaurants, but Jiayi Decoration could still guarantee quality and progress!

Otherwise, the two parties wouldn't have cooperated for so long.

Just as He Jinwei said, Jiuxiang Catering was expanding its market.

They indeed needed a group of employees with rich experience in the decoration industry right now.

Besides, it seemed Jiayi didn't have many formal employees left.

As for the students from campus recruitment... they were still in school!

"Thank you, President Su, for giving them this opportunity!" He Jinwei became happy upon hearing Su Yang's words. "I'll treat you to singing at a business KTV another day."

Su Yang joked, "Can I pick some girls?"

He Jinwei said generously, "I'll pick a whole group for you, President Su!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang had Jiang Yuzhen give Jiuxiang Catering a heads-up, saying that employees from Jiayi would be coming for interviews.

Su Yang thought for a moment and then called Dong Fang.

Dong Fang was surprised when he answered Su Yang's call. "President Su, what made you think of calling me?"

"Have you found a job?"

"You already know?"

Su Yang smiled and said, "Maybe I knew even earlier than you did!"

Dong Fang remembered the cooperative relationship between Jiuxiang Catering and Jiayi. "That's true!"

"Your boss told me. Those from Jiayi who are willing to come to Jiuxiang Catering can come for an interview. You'll probably be notified soon."

Over the phone, Dong Fang let out a long sigh of relief. "Then thank you so much, President Su... I was just worried about not being able to find a job!"

"As long as you don't mind the salary I offer being low!"

"How could I mind?" Dong Fang said helplessly. "A lot of my performance was thanks to your care, President Su!"

Su Yang asked with a smile again, "Then do you want me to open a back door for you?"

"No need! No need!" Dong Fang hurriedly refused. "I should be fine... If I can't even pass the interview, how could I have the face to stay at Jiuxiang?"

"Alright then!"

Just as Dong Fang hung up, he saw his wife squatting in front of him, which nearly scared him to death!

"What are you doing?"

Yang Yun asked in a low voice, "Was that Su Yang on the phone?"

"Yes!"

"He's letting you go to Jiuxiang?"

"Yeah!" Dong Fang nodded. "Our employees from Jiayi can go to Jiuxiang for interviews. President Su was asking about my situation."

"That's great!"

Yang Yun said joyfully.

For the past half month, knowing her husband was going to be unemployed had really worried her.

Unfortunately, the resumes Dong Fang sent out either disappeared into the void or offered poor benefits!

She had also advised Dong Fang to go to Su Yang, but Dong Fang was a bit too proud to do so.

She also knew about the treatment at Jiuxiang.

Various benefits were quite good, and there was very little overtime!

He might not earn as much as at Jiayi, but weren't the bonuses Dong Fang earned at Jiayi thanks to Su Yang's care anyway?

At least her husband didn't have to worry about being unemployed!

Neither of them could afford to be unemployed right now; they still had a mortgage to pay!

"Are you sure you can pass the interview?" Yang Yun then asked in a low voice. "What if you fail? Should you talk to Su Yang about it?"

"How is that possible?" Dong Fang waved his hand and said, "I supervised the decoration of half of the Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants. I'm also quite familiar with the people in their Engineering Department!"

"Alright then!"

By the end of April, Su Yang finally returned to Jiuxiang Catering in a leisurely manner.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Jiang Yuzhen was very excited to see Su Yang.

"Yeah!" Su Yang smiled and nodded at her. "You've worked hard these past few days!"

"It wasn't hard!"

Seeing Su Yang's smile, Jiang Yuzhen felt the fatigue in her body and the slight dissatisfaction in her heart vanish.

Actually, Su Yang had returned home on the 29th, but he rested for another day before coming to the company.

He also took the opportunity to comfort Chen Li and Qin Shuang and received his late birthday gifts from them!

Actually, playing around all day long was still quite tiring!

Su Yang casually asked Jiang Yuzhen, "Do you have any plans to go anywhere for May Day?"

Jiang Yuzhen shook her head. "I just want to go home and rest, just lie down and rest!"

She wasn't the type of girl who loved to go out and play; her social circle was as clean as Su Yang's.

During the time Su Yang was away, she not only had a high workload but also a lot of pressure.

"Then you might as well go back today!" Su Yang said with a smile. "By tonight or tomorrow, there might be traffic jams."

"Is that okay?"

"Help me ask how the interviews for the Jiayi employees went." Su Yang sat in his clean office chair. "Then brew me a cup of tea, and you can go back for your holiday!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Yuzhen was very cheerful and jogged out of Su Yang's office.

Not long after, Su Yang had a general idea of the interview situation for the Jiayi employees.

Six people participated in the interviews, and all of them passed.

Among them, Dong Fang's salary was the highest; Jiuxiang Catering offered him a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.

It was mainly because he was familiar with the construction and decoration industry and knew the decoration of Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants like the back of his hand.

The manager of the Engineering Department thought highly of him and made him a small leader.

And planned to send him to Shancheng to supervise the decoration of the hotpot restaurants.

Once he went to Shancheng, the company would definitely provide subsidies, and the treatment certainly wouldn't be bad.

This could be considered Dong Fang moving from Party B to Party A!

After a quick look, Jiang Yuzhen smilingly brought a cup of tea to Su Yang and then handed him a folder. "Boss, my recent work is all here."

"Good!"

"Then I'm leaving?"

"Go ahead!"

"Goodbye, Boss!"

"Goodbye!"

Su Yang also looked over Jiang Yuzhen's recent work.

She was mainly responsible for campus recruitment.

Of the fifty-eight new recruits, more than ten previous graduates had already reported to various companies.

Half of the remaining new recruits had also come to the company for internships.

After a brief glance, Su Yang went to Spark Media for a tour.

Mainly to meet Fu Yueyun, who shared her exquisite life on Xiaohongshu and had millions of followers, and Niu Zhitong, Spark Media's best livestream salesperson at this stage.

Among the signed influencers of Spark Media, those who developed well on Xiaohongshu were still relatively few.

Yet, the commercial value of influencers on the Xiaohongshu platform was quite high, second only to Douyin.

As for Niu Zhitong, she had also achieved a good result of over two million yuan in sales in a single session a few days ago.

This might not seem like much compared to other top MCN companies and influencers.

After all, there were plenty of cases where people made over a hundred million in a single session!

But for Spark Media, it was a good breakthrough.

In that livestream sales session, Jiuxiang Food also sold over three hundred thousand yuan worth of products.

It could be considered a small participation!

Su Yang chatted with Fu Yueyun and Niu Zhitong; their loyalty to the company was quite high, both exceeding 80.

They were also very grateful to Su Yang and the company.

This is the advantage of incubating influencers yourself.

The more they were discovered by the company when they were insignificant, the higher their loyalty to the company and to him would be!

Not to mention Fu Yueyun, whom Su Yang personally signed and trained.

Niu Zhitong could also be considered a core veteran of Spark Media.

She was one of the six influencer bloggers Yu Siying brought over from her former employer, Baiyang Media, when Spark Media was first established.

Among them was Dai Jiaying, a beauty blogger with over a million followers.

Two traditional singing and dancing streamers, including Jiang Yufei, who was exchanged for Jiang Yan.

And three livestream sales streamers, including Niu Zhitong!

Niu Zhitong was still an obscure small character at the time, and everyone's attention was on Dai Jiaying.

Su Yang probably knew Niu Zhitong had a good future, so he had taken a little care of her before.

This girl was flat-chested, and her looks could be rated a seven out of ten.

But to be a good influencer or streamer, looks weren't particularly important.

She loved to laugh, and she had dimples when she laughed.

Her skin was very fair, and she looked a bit youthful and completely non-threatening, which was very comfortable.

It was relatively easy for her to gain others' favor!

Coupled with her good eloquence and the fact that Yu Siying valued her and kept her by her side for training, she gradually began to rise!

In the afternoon, Su Yang went to Jiuxiang Food again.

Accompanied by Tan Yanghong, he looked at the cafeteria under construction at Jiuxiang Food.

He also put on a dustproof suit and inspected the assembly line!

He was now considered half a worker and knew the work requirements of the production workshop like the back of his hand!

Soon, the 30th ended, and the May Day holiday arrived.

May Day is a busy time for restaurants. The Nine Fragrance Hotpot and Weimeijia stores of Jiuxiang Catering would definitely be working, though overtime pay would certainly not be lacking.

The employees of Su Yang's six companies didn't all go on holiday either.

While the restaurants were busy, it was impossible for Fengyuan, which was responsible for providing ingredients, to rest.

The employees and influencers of Spark Media were still busy, and that group of lawyers was also busy...

However, those who could be sent home, Su Yang sent back.

It wasn't easy to earn overtime pay from him!

Su Yang called his cousin; he wasn't going home for May Day.

He also inquired a bit about his cousin's progress with Wang Juan.

His cousin happily told Su Yang that Wang Juan was already his girlfriend!

They had officially established a relationship, and if things went smoothly, they would meet each other's parents at the end of the year.

Su Yang didn't expect the two of them to progress so quickly.

But calculating carefully, it had already been a few months!

His cousin's current job was also quite good, so he was a good match for Wang Juan.

Besides, younger girls were much easier to pursue than thirty-year-olds!

Su Yang asked in a low voice, "Cousin, do you know when my birthday is?"

"Is it coming up?" He Zhiheng was surprised. "Then I'll prepare a birthday gift for you!"

Su Yang: "It's already passed!"

"..."

He Zhiheng fell silent.

"Do you remember Wang Juan's birthday?"

"Hehe!"

"Sigh~"

Su Yang couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He Zhiheng hurriedly apologized. "I really didn't mean it..."

After teasing He Zhiheng a bit, Su Yang felt he had vented his frustration!

He didn't really care that He Zhiheng didn't remember his birthday.

Because he didn't know He Zhiheng's birthday either...

The two of them were pretty much even!

Thinking of this, Su Yang opened his computer and began to check He Zhiheng's personal information.
