511: Chapter 511 Turning Public Opinion Around! A School with a Conscience! The Boss is a Marketing and PR Genius!

Chapter 511: Reversing Public Opinion! A School with a Conscience! The Boss is a Marketing and PR Genius!

With the help of official media, the strong support of Ji Guoxiong—the General Manager of the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain whose popularity had not yet waned—and the efforts of Spark Media behind the scenes, the clarification video posted by Nine Fragrance Hotpot, titled "Jiuxiang Food Factory is Not a Heartless Factory, Yanhu Vocational College Put in the Effort!", finally hit the trending searches!

In addition, the official Nine Fragrance Hotpot account pinned a video in the comments section about Jiuxiang Food's screening process for general workers, along with a video of a Yanhu Vocational School counselor promoting Jiuxiang Food positions!

The first video featured a thirty-two-year-old man who had worked in various factories for years and enjoyed sharing his life as a worker on social media during his spare time. He said he heard news in a group chat that Jiuxiang Food was hiring, and a friend at Jiuxiang Food told him to sign up quickly!

He also mentioned that the Jiuxiang Food Factory was one of the best-paying factories in the vicinity.

Not only were there no night shifts, but they only had to work eight hours a day, with room and board included. After the probation period, the take-home pay was 6,500, plus social security and weekends off...

Then he saw the sea of people at the Jiuxiang Food registration point...

Jiuxiang Food first filtered people by age.

Then it was education; at the very least, a high school diploma was required!

Finally, because there were too many applicants, Jiuxiang Food added a physical fitness test for the sake of fairness.

This man, whose health was poor because he often stayed up late, pushed himself to the tenth lap but was still eliminated!

In the end, the man in the video asked a young person who had passed the third round of "marathon-style" screening.

The young man secretly told him that he had graduated from a vocational college last year, but he had a relative working at the Jiuxiang Food Factory.

He had received news a month ago that Jiuxiang Food might be hiring, so he decisively quit his job at the time and practiced 5,000-meter long-distance running at home every day, finally achieving such good results now!

It was obvious that this Rongcheng man's short video account was real.

He truly enjoyed sharing his life as a worker and had been doing so for eight years.

Occasionally, he would critique a few local sweatshops in Rongcheng, but he had just never gone viral!

Seeing this video, many netizens were surprised by Jiuxiang Food's perverted screening process:

"Didn't they say young people don't like working in factories anymore?"

"Young people just don't like working in sweatshops. Jiuxiang Food has no night shifts, it's nine-to-five every day, and it even has weekends off, social security, room and board, and 6,500 a month... how could they not like it?"

"As expected, good jobs are transmitted through maternal-infant, blood, and sexual contact..."

"Upstairs, you'd better be talking about work!"

"Exactly, in Rongcheng, this definitely counts as a factory with top-tier benefits!"

"As expected of Mr. Ji's close friend of many years, he's so good to his employees!"

"Exactly, good people really do flock together!"

"Room and board included! Do you know the value of room and board, eight hours of work a day, weekends off with social security, and 6,500 in hand? Even if your monthly salary exceeds ten thousand in Shenzhen, it's not as good as this position... I'm in Shenzhen, and my salary is indeed over ten thousand, but I can't save much money every month, and the overtime is driving me crazy!"

"If I had this job, I could work until the factory goes bankrupt!"

"With these benefits, I'd take a 6,000 salary. Quick, hire me, I want to work in the factory!"

"I can do it for 5,000!"

"I can do it for 4,500, as long as I have weekends off and no night shifts!"

"It's because of people like you 'involutioning' that wages in China are so low!"

"I can do it for 4,000, my home is nearby, I want this job!"

"..."

"I didn't expect Jiuxiang Food's benefits to be so good. I really like buying snacks from their Taobao shop; the taste is truly excellent, it's just that some beef snacks are a bit expensive... and they rarely go on sale!"

"Is it really that good? I'll buy some to try!"

"I'll support them too!"

"..."

"So, it seems the jobs Yanhu Vocational College recommends to its students are actually pretty good!"

"Anyway, I don't believe Jiuxiang Food would give Yanhu Vocational College any kickbacks... young people would scramble for these general worker benefits!"

"Right, right, right! Don't talk about the post-00s 'rectifying' the workplace; the post-00s around me are even more competitive than I am. They're driving me, a post-90s, to the brink!"

"Damn! Why didn't I go to Yanhu Vocational College? I considered this school when I was applying... Compared to Yanhu Vocational College, the private vocational college I attended is just trash. I've been graduated for two years and my monthly salary is still four thousand, with no social security and frequent overtime. Yanhu Vocational College graduates start at 6,500!"

"..."

And the other video link posted by the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain account was the video of the counselor promoting Jiuxiang Food positions to graduates.

From the angle, it was clear that it was likely filmed secretly by a student!

This wasn't surprising!

Students nowadays all have mobile phones and are very savvy with short videos!

This makes many teachers today afraid to over-discipline them... for fear of being exposed online.

In the video, the counselor stated that the positions at Jiuxiang Food were secured through the school's hard work.

The benefits at Jiuxiang Food were very good, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to enter the factory!

Then the counselor introduced the generous benefits for Jiuxiang Food's general workers. After hearing this, some students directly expressed that they wanted to quit the jobs they had already found to work as general workers in the food factory.

However, the counselor advised them not to give up their current positions because the development ceiling for being a general worker in a food factory wasn't high. She hoped they could develop well in their own professional directions and strive for a higher career ceiling.

At the same time, the counselor also stated that the jobs at Jiuxiang Food were just for them to use as a temporary transition.

The school leadership had already negotiated with Jiuxiang Food; if they resigned from Jiuxiang Food, Jiuxiang Food would absolutely not withhold their wages, as long as they gave prior notice!

They could earn some small money at Jiuxiang Food first to achieve financial independence and give themselves a safety net... so they wouldn't be too anxious!

Then they should take advantage of their weekends to find other jobs and plan their future career paths...

A group of netizens saw this video and immediately became envious:

"Damn, it's a world of extremes. A job with a monthly salary of 6,500 is just a safety net... I graduated from university this year and sent out over a hundred resumes with no response!"

"This counselor is truly beautiful and kind-hearted. She even tells the students not to be anxious; she seems so gentle!"

"Exactly, I remember not long ago there was a trending search about a university teacher throwing a tantrum in a wechat group because students couldn't find jobs! Did they ever stop to think it might be the school's problem?"

"I'm also a university graduate and only found a job with a monthly salary of 4,000... the HR's first question was whether I could work overtime. I said I was on the school basketball team, a national first-class athlete, with a great physique, so overtime is no problem!"

"Am I the only one who feels Yanhu Vocational College has a real conscience? In the current employment environment, for the school to find jobs with such benefits for students, the school has truly done its best for them!"

"Yeah! Why didn't I have such a good school? This is practically assigning jobs to students!"

"I'm from a 985 university... To be honest, if the school assigned a job like Jiuxiang Food, even as a general worker, there would definitely be people willing to go for a transition. Not being able to find a job and having no income is truly anxiety-inducing!"

"It feels like the tens of thousands in tuition for three years at Yanhu Vocational College wasn't paid in vain. If one can land this job, they can earn it back in a year..."

Reading the error-free version! First published in this novel.

"It really seems that way; the tuition doesn't feel like a loss!"

"The counselor said it herself, this is prepared for those students who haven't found jobs yet, to be used as a transition. If my school treated me like this, I'd be moved to death!"

"Compared to those schools that count food delivery and live-streaming to boost their employment rates, Yanhu Vocational College is already very conscientious!"

"They are just a vocational college, but it feels like they're doing better than many undergraduate schools!"

"They can crush a huge number of them, okay!"

"..."

"The public opinion... has been reversed!"

Yu Chengjun couldn't help but marvel as she looked at the direction of public opinion online.

"It's normal!" Jiang Yuzhen, beside her, closed a document and smiled. "President Yu of Spark Entertainment and President Kang of Xingli PR both said that our boss's level in online marketing and public relations is top-tier in the country!"

"Right, right, right! I feel like I've learned so much by the boss's side!" Speaking of this, Chen Tianxing added with distress, "But although I've learned a lot, I feel the gap between me and the boss is still too large..."

"That's normal, the boss is a business genius!" Jiang Yuzhen smiled. "Look at how much the boss has developed Spark Media, Spark Fitness, Jiuxiang Catering, and Jiuxiang Food in just this short amount of time!"

Chen Tianxing nodded helplessly.

When he first left school, he was somewhat conceited, feeling that given time, he could certainly carve out a world of his own!

But after staying by Su Yang's side for a long time, he increasingly saw his own inadequacies!

"Need to take documents to the boss? I'll go!"

Seeing Jiang Yuzhen's document, Yu Chengjun reached out to grab it.

But Jiang Yuzhen was already prepared for her and pulled the document into her arms first: "I'd better go! I'm more familiar with the situation!"

With that, Jiang Yuzhen walked toward Su Yang's office holding the document.

Yu Chengjun stared at Jiang Yuzhen's back, her cheeks puffing out with anger.

She felt that the situation seemed to be taking a bad turn!

In the Jufan Holdings office, Su Yang was on the phone with Chen Qingzhou.

Hearing a knock at the door, he let the person in.

As soon as Jiang Yuzhen entered the office, she heard Su Yang's hearty and confident laughter: "...Principal Chen, the big stage has been set up for you; now it's your school's turn for the enrollment promotion!"

"I never imagined it would be such a big stage... I didn't even dare to think of it before!"

Jiang Yuzhen could hear Principal Chen's voice; it was not only loud but also very excited!

She found it hard to imagine this seemingly refined and scholarly principal losing his composure like this.

Su Yang smiled and said, "Keep it up!"

"Alright, boss, we've been preparing for half a month; I guarantee there won't be any problems!"

"..."

The boss sat in his swivel chair, his handsome face wearing a smile that was confident and full of charm!

He was wearing a white shirt, and his muscles filled it out quite well!

His collar was slightly open, and Jiang Yuzhen could faintly see his strong pectoral muscles... thinking of his eight-pack abs, she couldn't help but swallow and pressed her legs together!

Gently closing the office door, Jiang Yuzhen said softly, "Boss, you need to look over this document."

"Alright!"

Su Yang put down his phone and nodded with a smile.
