311: Chapter 311 Parents Who Are Tired of Playing! A Clarification Video from Yanhu Vocational School!

Chapter 311: Parents Tired of Traveling! Yanhu Vocational School's Clarification Video!

Many office workers start yearning for poetry and far-off lands after reading a few novels, articles, or short videos.

They dream of quitting their jobs to open a guesthouse in a city with beautiful scenery and a leisurely pace of life.

They imagine they can make money easily while enjoying life!

Blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters.

Girls, chance encounters, bonfires, folk songs...

They feel that opening a guesthouse has no entry barrier—as long as they have money and sentiment, they're good to go—and so they dive in without looking back!

As it turns out, one might not be phased out of a corporate job until age thirty-five.

But it only takes one year to be phased out of the guesthouse business!

A few years ago, there wasn't much competition in the guesthouse industry, and one could still make money.

However, in recent years, most people who rushed to open guesthouses have ended up suffering losses.

Like many industries in China, the guesthouse business today is characterized by intense 'involution.'

It's on par with the catering industry!

Not long after, Su Yang's phone rang; it was his mother calling again.

He stepped out of the conference room, and the interviewees in the corridor cleared a path for him.

Standing under the academic affairs building, Su Yang answered his mother's call.

As it turned out, his mother told him they wanted to go home.

They had been traveling for over a month, going all the way from Rongcheng to Yunnan Province and then to Lhasa.

They felt too tired, and their bodies couldn't quite handle it anymore!

Hearing this, Su Yang almost wanted to laugh!

It was quite possible they couldn't handle it; after all, even the bodyguards Su Yang had arranged for them had already been swapped out once!

Those temporary bodyguards were security guards from Jiuxiang Food, and they all had wives and children back home.

Su Yang felt bad about making them stay on business trips for months at a time.

Su Yang chatted a bit more with his father, the temporary bodyguards, and the private guide, then decided to have someone drive the RV back while his parents simply flew back to Rongcheng.

Since they couldn't quite handle it anymore, there was no need for them to endure the bumpy ride back in the RV.

Over the next few days, the entire Yanhu Vocational School became very busy.

Shen Yunxiao, in particular, walked with a spring in her step now that she held significant power.

Su Yang also heard that she frequently stayed up late working overtime, acting as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

At the same time, while still interviewing candidates, Yanhu Vocational School continued to post new job openings!

Before long, Shen Yunxiao also got in touch with some alumni through her 'boss' at the Normal University and her former classmates.

The salary Su Yang offered wasn't bad, so some students whose hometowns were in the southwest began to consider it.

Not everyone liked the idea of struggling in a first-tier city after graduation.

The salaries there were indeed higher, and there were more opportunities.

But the competitive pressure and cost of living there were enormous!

Even though housing prices were currently in a downward trend, it was still extremely difficult for them to settle down there.

Although the base salary offered by Yanhu Vocational School didn't seem high, the school provided meal subsidies, allowed staff to eat for free in the cafeteria, and provided dedicated staff dormitories.

Working at Yanhu Vocational School, they might actually be able to save more of their salary.

As for housing prices in Rongcheng, they were much friendlier than those in first-tier cities, no matter how you looked at it.

Add to that the current employment pressure and Su Yang's willingness to conduct video interviews, and they were even more willing to give it a try.

After all, participating in a video interview wouldn't result in a loss by any calculation.

Spending a little time was just giving themselves one more opportunity.

The only thing that made them a bit hesitant was that Yanhu Vocational School couldn't offer permanent government establishment status.

Upon learning this news, Su Yang was quite satisfied!

Looking back at the interview process at Yanhu Vocational School, he felt a bit of pressure and thought the progress was somewhat sluggish.

Therefore, he decided to personally serve as the chief interviewer!

Faced with the boss's proposal, Vice Principal Lv Guangting had no choice but to agree.

As a result, the efficiency of the entire interview process skyrocketed!

Seeing the number of applicants decrease rapidly and having to notify other interviewees to come to the school on short notice, Lv Guangting hesitated and asked, "Boss, isn't this a bit too fast?"

Su Yang countered, "Like you guys, taking an average of half an hour to interview one applicant—don't you think that's too slow?"

"Uh!"

"Don't worry!" Su Yang patted Lv Guangting on the shoulder and said, "I'm a very good judge of character!"

He could understand why people like Lv Guangting interviewed so slowly.

When it came to key positions, HR at many companies could talk to an applicant for two or three hours!

But for him, after a few minutes of conversation and using his Detection Skill, he basically knew the person's worth.

"Alright then!"

Was the boss a good judge of character?

Lv Guangting still had some faith in that.

After all, for someone who was a big boss, how could their eye for people be bad?

Otherwise, how could Su Yang have grown his business to such a scale?

Thus, in just three days, Su Yang finished screening all the remaining thousand-plus interviewees.

They had agreed to hire for only forty-some positions, but Su Yang ended up hiring fifty.

Mainly, he hired a few extra counselors from among those thousand-plus applicants.

Most of the others were administrative staff, and some were specifically meant to handle inspection documentation.

Otherwise, how could the teachers and counselors be freed up to a greater extent?

Anyone who had worked at the grassroots level knew how complicated inspection materials could be; in some exaggerated cases, a single task could generate a whole cabinet of paperwork.

Some people felt that the thicker their stack of materials, the more it proved their work was solid!

The problem was that this made the people on the ground feel exhausted!

When Su Yang first entered the advertising industry, he had helped them with some odd jobs and knew the situation!

Private higher vocational schools were also subject to inspections from above.

Su Yang's requirement for this was that the work that needed to be done must be done well, but the materials shouldn't be too exaggerated...

As for counselors, according to previous university regulations, the minimum ratio of counselors to students was 1:400.

That meant one counselor looked after 400 students.

Coupled with the counselor's other duties, this resulted in many college students perhaps never even seeing their counselor more than a few times throughout a whole semester!

Around 2017, the regulation changed to a minimum of 1:200.

Considering Shen Yunxiao's plan, Su Yang felt that the number of counselors still needed to be increased further.

So he hired a few more counselors.

Next, Yanhu Vocational School would hire another batch of counselors, striving to have each counselor look after a hundred students, or even fewer—it didn't matter, as he could afford the salaries!

When that time came, the happy days for Yanhu Vocational School students would arrive.

Counselors would chat with you whenever they were free, caring about your studies and your life...

However, among this batch of interviewees, there weren't many suitable for being counselors.

There was still some gap between them and his requirements!

He didn't require a degree in psychology, but they at least needed to have rapport, be enthusiastic and cheerful, be physically and mentally healthy, and be good at communication...

Additionally, there were two others with relatively high scientific research talent whom Su Yang hired along the way!

Seeing Su Yang's interview efficiency, Lv Guangting and the other teachers were still incredibly shocked.

Su Yang smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take responsibility for the people I hire!"

Lv Guangting gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Boss, I didn't mean it that way!"

"Alright!" Su Yang said with a smile, "The task is finished for now; we'll just wait for the next round of recruitment."

"Mhm!"

Su Yang suddenly asked, "By the way, has Xiang Fangting's video been posted?"

Lv Guangting replied, "It was already posted through the official account yesterday afternoon!"

"Have you communicated with Kong Xia?"

"We did. Once she heard that not releasing those videos would affect our school's reputation, she agreed!"

"Uh, why does it feel like you guys are using moral kidnapping?"

"Boss... that's just the reality of the situation!"

Su Yang rubbed his temples and said, "Since we hired several more counselors this time, there will definitely be changes in assignments. Change her class to a new counselor, and have the new counselor pay more attention to her situation!"

"Understood, Boss!"

After leaving Yanhu Vocational School, Su Yang felt quite a bit lighter.

He casually opened his phone to check Yanhu Vocational School's official Douyin account, and then he discovered that the clarification video posted by the official account yesterday seemed to have trended.
