257: Chapter 257 Special Recruitment Fair

Due to the special recruitment fair held over these two days, the foot traffic on campus was significantly higher than usual.

Wang Tengfei, Qin Xiaoyue, and Xin Mingyuan walked through the crowd, their ears filled with the constant chatter of students discussing the recruitment fair.

"Hey, have you guys heard? This recruitment fair seems to be for a company owned by one of our Senior Brothers," a boy said excitedly as he passed by the three of them.

The classmate walking beside him chimed in, "I heard about it ages ago. Don't tell me you didn't know? That Senior Brother is a legendary figure at our school named Qin Yi. The campus forums are going crazy right now. They say he was the one behind Wang Hao, the heir of Hongtai Construction, making that public apology to the whole internet a few days ago."

Another girl with them added, "Yes, yes, I heard that too. Before, there were posts on the forum saying Senior Brother Qin Yi's family owed a lot of debt and had fallen from grace. But look at him now! He's set up two companies with a registered capital of one billion each! I'm so envious."

At this point, a boy next to the girl showed a look of disdain and snorted, "Hmph, what's the use of a registered capital of one billion? What matters is the paid-in capital, right? That's the real money."

The girl glanced at the boy with some annoyance and retorted, "What do you know? I've got word that our Senior Brother is also planning to donate to the school to set up a student aid fund and an entrepreneurship fund—a full two hundred million!"

"Two hundred million? For real?" The people around them gasped, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Of course it's true. The Student Union President heard it with his own ears when he went to deliver Materials to the school leaders. It's said that Dean Liu Changshan of the School of Economics said it himself, so how could it be fake? If he can donate two hundred million, just imagine how deep his pockets are! A mere one billion in paid-in capital would be a piece of cake for him," the female student said confidently, looking as if she were Qin Yi's girlfriend.

Wang Tengfei, Qin Xiaoyue, and Xin Mingyuan listened to the surrounding discussions, exchanging glances and feeling a secret sense of satisfaction in their hearts.

...

Before long, Wang Tengfei, Xin Mingyuan, and Qin Xiaoyue arrived at the School of Economics building.

From a distance, Wang Tengfei's eyes locked onto Li Xitong and Liu Changshan, who were waiting in front of the building.

An enthusiastic smile appeared on his face as he unconsciously quickened his pace, waving his hand to greet the two. Xin Mingyuan also followed with a smile.

Wang Tengfei walked up and took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Changshan and Li Xitong one by one. "Hello, Counselor. Hello, Dean Liu. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." After speaking, he stepped aside to make room for Qin Xiaoyue and introduced her, "This is Qin Xiaoyue, Qin Yi's cousin, and also a shareholder of the entertainment media company."

The corners of Qin Xiaoyue's mouth curled up as she shook hands with the two. After some simple pleasantries, she explained on behalf of Qin Yi, "My brother went to the high-speed rail station to pick someone up. He's expected to arrive after ten o'clock. I hope you two leaders can bear with him."

Liu Changshan shook his head with a smile, indicating he didn't mind. "It's fine, let's head up first. The venue for the special recruitment fair is all ready. It's scheduled to start at ten, so there's still some time. You can see if there's anything else that needs further adjustment."

Wang Tengfei nodded in agreement and then followed Li Xitong and Liu Changshan into the School of Economics building along with Xin Mingyuan and Qin Xiaoyue.

The three of them then walked further into the School of Economics accompanied by Liu Changshan and Li Xitong.

Their group naturally attracted many gazes, especially from the students following along, who were whispering privately, guessing the identities of the people next to the Dean.

When the group of five arrived at the first-floor lobby, a striking red banner caught their eyes, with the large characters "Yiqin Capital and Yiqian Entertainment Media Special Recruitment Fair" written on it.

In the lobby, many people were already queuing up to register. Signs clearly marked the interview locations for the two companies, and two academic lecture halls had been temporarily requisitioned as interview venues.

Looking at the crowd waiting in line, Li Xitong explained to the three, "For this recruitment fair, we specifically drew several volunteers from the Student Union to be responsible for registration and maintaining order. Tengfei, Mingyuan, you are also their seniors. Would you like to say a few words to everyone first?"

Hearing this, Wang Tengfei quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Oh, with Dean Liu here, it's not my place to speak. Dean, why don't you go first?"

Liu Changshan didn't decline. He stepped forward two paces to the front of the line. After clearing his throat, he said with a voice full of vigor, "Hello, students. I am Liu Changshan, the Dean of the School of Economics. I am very happy that everyone could come to participate in our special recruitment fair today. The fair will start promptly at ten o'clock."

At this point, he gestured for Wang Tengfei and the other two to come forward, then faced the crowd again and continued, "These two beside me are also graduates of our Modu University this year and will be today's interviewers. Next, I'll invite your Senior Brothers to tell everyone about these two companies. Everyone, please give them a round of applause!"

Then, led by Dean Liu, a burst of applause rang out.

The three of them waved to the crowd. After some polite deferring, Wang Tengfei stood out. There was no helping it; since he was the eldest in their dorm, he naturally had to step up for things like public speaking.

Wang Tengfei cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces. With a touch of confidence, he slowly began, "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Tengfei, and the one next to me is Xin Mingyuan. Both of us are graduates of the School of Economics this year. Today, it is a great honor to return to our alma mater to host this special recruitment fair."

He paused, looking at the curiosity and expectation on everyone's faces, which gave him even more confidence. Then, he continued his introduction, "First, let me introduce Yiqin Capital to you."

"Yiqin Capital just completed its registration the day before yesterday, and its corporate account was opened yesterday. Therefore, the paid-in capital will be in place by next Monday at the latest. So, you don't need to question the authenticity of the company's registered capital."

"Additionally, I heard everyone's discussions on my way here. Regarding the owner of Yiqin Capital, he is actually an alumnus of ours, as well as my good roommate and good brother! His name is Qin Yi, and I'm sure many of you have heard this name. There was a bit of a stir on the campus forums about my brother before. However, that's all in the past, so there's no need for everyone to keep digging into it."

"Besides, since you're all here today for the job recruitment, I won't say any more unnecessary words. Next, I'll talk about the issues you're most concerned about."

"Regarding salary and benefits, I can fully represent the owner and promise you this: the salary and benefits for all positions at Yiqin Capital will far exceed those of similar enterprises. Moreover, successful interviewees will have no probation period and can directly sign a formal labor contract. The five social insurances and one housing fund will be paid in full. We have a two-day weekend, no 996, and definitely no 007! Not only that, but all kinds of holidays will be provided! As for other benefits, we will collect everyone's opinions through internal channels and gradually improve them after the company officially opens. Alright, that's all I'll say for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a stir in the crowd, seemingly moved by Wang Tengfei's words. Wang Tengfei nodded slightly and cast an inquiring glance at Liu Changshan.

Receiving the signal, Liu Changshan stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, Wang Tengfei, for the introduction. Next, let us invite Ms. Qin Xiaoyue to introduce the situation of Yiqian Entertainment Media. Everyone, please give her a round of applause!"

Immediately after, the crowd in the lobby applauded again.

Amidst the thunderous applause, Qin Xiaoyue felt a bit nervous. She took a slight deep breath, raised her hand to lightly smooth her hair, put a smile on her face, and then slowly began, "Hello everyone, my name is Qin Xiaoyue. Although I am not a graduate of Modu University, my brother is."

She spoke with a mischievous smile on her face, talking to herself, "That's right, I'm sure everyone has already guessed it—my brother is Qin Yi. So today, I'm also riding on my brother's coattails to come to Modu University to be in charge of the recruitment for Yiqian Entertainment Media."

She paused, seeing the curious and envious looks from the crowd, and continued, "Yiqian Entertainment Media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yiqin Capital, also with a registered capital of one billion. Regarding the paid-in capital, as Brother Tengfei said just now, there will be results by Monday at the latest. Additionally, in terms of salary and benefits, Yiqian Entertainment Media will remain consistent with Yiqin Capital, so please rest assured."

"Furthermore, Yiqian Entertainment Media mainly focuses on new media and the entertainment culture industry. A few days ago, we already conducted two rounds of social recruitment and have currently hired sixty employees, including streamers, operations, and related technical positions. The owner's hard requirement is to recruit a full 100 people! Of course, these 100 people are just the minimum, with no upper limit."

"So, as long as you have the ability and talent, you can come and apply. Modu University has many talents in new media and entertainment-related majors, so I really hope everyone can actively sign up to join us. Thank you, everyone!"

As Qin Xiaoyue's words fell, the atmosphere in the lobby was ignited once again. People were talking animatedly, their faces showing expressions of excitement and anticipation.

Afterward, the three shared a smile. Then, they followed Dean Liu toward the interview hall for Yiqin Capital to begin the upcoming interview work.

At this moment, in the bustling crowd of the queue, a slight blush appeared on Zhao Ying's face. Her eyes flickered, and a wave of nervousness surged in her heart for no reason, her hands unconsciously clasping together.

Behind her, her good bestie, Yoyo, keenly noticed Zhao Ying's abnormality.

Yoyo lightly stood on her tiptoes and leaned close to Zhao Ying's ear, her voice filled with a bit of playfulness and mischief. "Ying'er, looking at you like this, are you nervous? I didn't expect both of these companies to be Senior Brother Qin Yi's properties. You have to put in a good word for me during the interview later."

Zhao Ying turned around, glared at Yoyo, and pouted her lips as if she were angry. "Yoyo, here you go again. I've only met Senior Brother Qin Yi twice in total; how can there be any friendship to speak of? How do you expect me to put in a good word for you?"

"Oh, Ying'er, you don't understand." Yoyo shook her head like someone who had seen it all. "As the saying goes, 'a man chasing a woman is like crossing a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is like crossing a layer of gauze.' You're so pretty and you have a crush on Senior Brother Qin Yi, so why not take the initiative? Think about it, Senior Brother Qin Yi is so outstanding; which girl wouldn't be moved? If you can win him over, you'll be the boss's wife in the future, so what would you have to worry about regarding work?"

Zhao Ying was stuck between laughter and tears by Yoyo's words. She gave Yoyo a light push and turned her head away in fake anger. "Fine, you're planning to sacrifice me in exchange for a job."

"Hehe, Ying'er, don't be angry." Yoyo took Zhao Ying's arm with a cheeky grin. "I'm doing this for the sake of our future. Besides, am I not your best friend? For the sake of your bestie having a good job, what's the harm in sacrificing yourself a little?"

Zhao Ying shook her head helplessly, no longer talking to her bestie with the strange logic, and followed the line as it slowly moved forward.

...

Time quickly reached ten o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, at the exit of the Modu High-speed Railway Station, Qin Yi and Xu Qian stood side by side. The corners of Xu Qian's mouth were always upturned as her eyes closely searched the flow of people coming out of the station.
