I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Brother, tell us your secrets to getting accepted quickly!" A young man next to him asked, seeing that the security guard was in a good mood.

"Ahem, we didn't get a single job yesterday. I think the company will relax the requirements later, otherwise, if we can't hire anyone, who will do the work?" the security captain said in a low voice.

“You’re right, there are tons of live streaming platforms now. If they don’t want them, won’t they all go to the competitors?” The young man nodded in agreement.

"Here he comes, the boss is here!" At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and the girl who had just delivered the red wine quickly reminded the security guard.

The man, who had been acting like an old man, suddenly jumped up from his chair and then straightened his clothes in front of the small mirror.

Soon, a Mercedes slowly pushed through the crowd and stopped at the entrance.

"Good morning, boss!" The security guard opened the barrier, stood ramrod straight, and respectfully saluted the car.

"Next time you two take turns driving, making me feel like a chauffeur." Inside the car, Zhao Lingshan, wearing sunglasses, glanced at the sycophant outside the window, then looked at the two women in the rearview mirror.

“We don’t have your driver’s licenses!” Saori said with a smirk.

"If there's no way I won't take the exam!" Zhao Lingshan gritted her teeth.

"What did you say? It's too noisy outside, I can't hear you!" Saori put her hand to her ear and made an exaggerated gesture.

"..."

Once the car had driven away, the security captain was surrounded by people again.

"Brother, the car windows were all dark, so I couldn't see what the boss looked like. Do you think my appearance might get him to give me special treatment?" The girl delivering the drinks confidently twirled around.

"Haha, take care of me? The boss is a woman! What do you think?" the security captain laughed after hearing this.

"Huh?" The girl was taken aback by the words and realized that this interview was going to be a disaster.

They say opposites attract, and likes repel. What if I'm too pretty and my boss gets jealous? That would be the end of me!
"However, these three are just the bosses on the surface. The real boss is a man. If you can get on the good side of this boss, you'll definitely become a big internet celebrity! Don't all the celebrities in the entertainment industry do this?" The security captain stroked his chin.

"Then how can I meet the big boss?" the girl asked excitedly.

"The big boss comes every now and then, it depends on your luck. But you're not bad looking..." The captain lit a cigarette and his eyes swept over the girl.

An hour later, just as the security guard had said, the interview requirements were lowered slightly this time.

The three women didn't ask about those superficial things; instead, they focused their questions on how to sell products and how to promote them.

Inside the meeting room, three swivel chairs were placed side by side.

Zhao Lingshan, Saori, and Jin Nana flipped through the resumes on the table with blank expressions.

Today's interviewees clearly obtained accurate information through external channels, completely abandoning yesterday's useless talents of singing and dancing, resulting in a dramatic change in style.

The door was pushed open, and the first person to enter was the fashionable girl who delivered the red wine at the door that morning. Instead of the wine, she carried a huge glass jar printed with "Extra Spicy Handmade Lao Gan Ma" and a bag of sliced ​​white toast.

"Dear customers, the product I'm selling today is homemade chili oil from my hometown." The girl unscrewed the cap, scooped out a large spoonful of chili oil, and spread it evenly on the white toast.

Then, with a sweet smile on her face, she opened her mouth, which was smeared with Chanel lipstick, and took a bite of the toast covered in chili peppers.

Chewing, swallowing. Large beads of sweat instantly appeared on the girl's forehead, and her eyes were red from the spiciness, but the corners of her mouth still maintained a professional smile: "A combination of East and West, to wake up the working class in the morning. Not only can it be mixed with rice, but it can also be spread on bread. Three cans for thirty-nine yuan and ninety cents, free shipping to your door."

The second person was an adorable little girl in a Lolita dress. She walked up to the table carrying a huge woven bag. When she opened the bag, it was filled with sweet potatoes covered in black mud.

"Dear customers, these are sweet potatoes from my hometown in the mountains." The little girl didn't waste any words, directly pulling a peeler from her pocket and peeling a sweet potato in ten seconds. Then, she took a bite of the raw, yellow-fleshed sweet potato flesh, making a crisp chewing sound.

"It's sweet and crisp when eaten raw, with no pesticide residue. Family, don't think it's rustic. This mud is proof of its natural state. A five-pound bag is only 9.9 yuan. If it's not sweet, I'll just eat the mud." While chewing on a raw sweet potato, she laboriously lifted the woven bag, which weighed dozens of pounds, with one hand, holding it in mid-air for a full five seconds to demonstrate its weight.

The immense strength and petite size created a strong visual impact. The three women exchanged glances and simultaneously wrote "alternative" on their resumes.

The interviews were conducted very efficiently within a morning.

There were no tearful attempts to elicit sympathy, nor any flashy talents. All the interviewees went straight to the point, demonstrating the product's core selling points with the simplest and most direct actions.

Zhao Lingshan rubbed her sore wrists and looked at the stack of resumes that had been accepted.

“Now the problem is, we have the people, and we've done the promotion. But the platform doesn't have a big streamer, so we can't retain users... Even though we have Tianya platform to drive traffic..." In the office, Saori frowned as she analyzed the situation.

“If you don’t have one, just package it yourself! These days, as long as you throw money at it, even cow dung can turn into gold!” Zhao Lingshan replied.

“Shou and Douyin have already created several top influencers through their idol-making schemes. Isn’t it too late for us to start packaging ourselves? Besides, we’ve only been interviewing for two days, and look at those guys, they’re not even as good as cow dung!” Jin Nana shook her head.

"If you're so picky, why don't you go up there yourself? I thought that girl eating chili sauce was pretty good, but you didn't like her." Saori, who already had her complaints, pouted.

"If you go, I'll go."

"Sure, I'll go live on it. Do you dare to take it?"

"You...you...aren't you afraid of losing face?!"

Zhao Lingshan pointed at the other person, speechless.

"What's there to be ashamed of, a foreigner like me? Who even knows me? You just said those things, and now you don't even dare to admit it." Saori laughed, hands on her hips.

"You...I...Who said I wouldn't dare to accept? Who's afraid of who?" Zhao Lingshan was provoked and didn't care whether she was the young lady of the Dajiangnan Group or not, and directly accepted the challenge.

"Don't let the live stream be completely empty, and then you secretly go back and wipe away your tears," Saori laughed.

"Hmph! Don't make sure you can't speak Mandarin fluently, or you'll embarrass yourself by stammering." Zhao Lingshan sneered.

At the same time, major live streaming platforms also launched interview advertisements after learning the news.

Evening, Huajing, Kuaishou platform signing center.

"Sorry, sorry, we're late. My brother and I took the bullet train all day to get here... Could you please give us another chance?"

"This is our number of videos and followers."

The Zhang brothers, Feng and Yun, explained, their foreheads covered in sweat.

The HR representative in front of me looked impatient: "You have no sense of time at all! Who would cooperate with you? What kind of video is this? It's chaotic and makes me angry... Come back tomorrow, don't keep me from getting off work." Most HR professionals in China are incompetent, lacking professional knowledge, and only good at empty talk and grandstanding. This woman only glanced at her phone before launching into her criticism.

"What's all the noise about? Who told you to leave work at this hour? Can't you see everyone else is working hard?" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over.

"Mr. Zhang, it's already this late for these two to come for the interview. This is disrespectful to our company. Besides... it's already seven o'clock, and I need to go home to cook for my child," the woman muttered under her breath.

“Cooking for the kids? Then you don’t need to come tomorrow. Just stay home and cook as much as you want. Who here doesn’t have kids? Everyone says they’re going home to cook, so why don’t we all just stop working? Do you think things are still like before? The company has so many competitors…” Mr. Zhang launched into a tirade against the woman.

After venting his anger, he looked at the two teenagers in front of him and asked, "Are you even adults yet?"

"Huh?" Zhang Feng and Zhang Yun exchanged a glance, looking completely bewildered.

"Ahem, come in, I'll interview you personally. These days, all the people hiring are laymen, they don't know a thing or two!" General Manager Zhang waved to the two of them and walked forward on his own.

The two brothers were overjoyed at the sight and quickly followed.

Inside the office.

Mr. Zhang leaned back in his chair, smoking a cigarette: "You two are both surnamed Zhang, from the same clan. And you're from Xinlu, so why don't you find work here?"

"Boss, the requirements over there are too high..."

"Cough cough."

Zhang Feng was about to speak when his younger brother interrupted him.

Zhang Yun gave him a look and then immediately looked at Boss Zhang: "Boss, that live streaming company in Xinlu is newly established and extremely unprofessional. We went over to inquire and found out they had so many interview questions, including asking what your dream is? Isn't that ridiculous? Everyone's out here trying to make money, so be practical and don't do those empty things."

"Haha, well said! I didn't expect you to have such awareness at such a young age." General Manager Zhang laughed and patted his thigh.

“Mr. Zhang, look, this is our account. We’ve done live streams and posted funny videos on Douyin and other platforms before. Although the number of followers is far less than the top ones, it’s all real, without any inflated numbers.” Zhang Yun cleverly pulled out his phone.

"Hmm, not bad. But attracting followers isn't enough for live-streaming e-commerce; the most important thing is actually selling products, understand? I won't hide it from you, the sales figures on these platforms are often inflated. So you need to be able to genuinely bring profits to the company..."

"Understood, understood." The two brothers nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

“Just saying it isn’t enough. Let me test you first. These are the products on the platform. Take a look.” Mr. Zhang smiled and then took out a stack of documents from his drawer.

The two took the list and began to flip through it.

These documents were sold by the company through the livestreamers, but sales were very poor.

The list included summaries from the livestreamers, most of which indicated product-related issues.

“Our platform is huge, with a lot of live streamers. However, only a handful of them actually make money. Most of them earn less per month than someone who works in a factory tightening screws. They always complain that the products the company provides are faulty, but they never think about what they did wrong.” Mr. Zhang tapped the table with his hand.

"If you were to promote these products, what would you say?" he asked again.

“Mr. Zhang… this drink has an extremely high sugar content, it’s even sweeter than cola, and the label says that no one drinks it…” Zhang Feng scratched his head.

"Full sugar, right? When you're promoting it, you can just say '0% fat' in the ad." Mr. Zhang curled his lip.

"Then this chocolate..."

"Full-fat chocolate? Then advertise it as '0% sugar'!"

"This cake... is full sugar and full fat..."

"Advertisement slogan: 0% sugar!"

"Those fried snacks..."

"Non-puffed, healthier!"

"What about puffed food?"

"Then say non-fried food is healthier!"

"What if the ingredient list is longer than the instruction manual?"

"The ingredient list is long, but didn't you notice that there's no sucrose or fat in it? The advertising slogan is 0 sucrose and 0 fat! You can't even see such a good selling point? You're just as incompetent as those other guys!" Mr. Zhang immediately stopped smiling.

Holy crap, you can do that?!

Everyone says big cities are full of tricks and dangerous places, and it's true...

The two brothers were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Qilin is a small place, and Xinlu, the provincial capital, is already considered a big city in their eyes. They never expected that coming to Huajing would completely open their eyes.

"You have to be flexible in life, and you need to be good at selling products as a live streamer. Your video was pretty good, but we're not selecting circus clowns. Understand? I'm only telling you this because you two are young and inexperienced, and you even share my surname." Mr. Zhang looked at him with a look of exasperation.

"Mr. Zhang... could you give us a chance? We don't want much. Other streamers ask for a certain percentage of their earnings, but we only want half of what they ask for..." Zhang Yun almost knelt down.

"Well, you two are new here too. I've always been a kind person, so I'll give you two a try. But the profit sharing can't be too much, after all, you two are newcomers, and the platform still needs to invest resources in you..." Boss Zhang sighed and deftly pulled out two contracts of servitude from the drawer.

Hua De.

"What? There are so many people in the company, and not a single one of them can contact our old clients? Are you kidding me? Why is there no email in the company mailbox for so long? I just checked, and the latest one is from two years ago!"

In the office, Chen Yifeng was currently throwing a tantrum.

"Mr. Chen, previously the factory manager was in charge of all the clients. Now we don't use email anymore; overseas clients use phone calls and social media apps like WeChat," an employee said, head bowed.

"What social media app? It's just the international version of WeChat, why don't you just download it? Do I have to teach you?" Chen Yifeng roared.

"No, Mr. Chen, the social media apps vary from country to country. South Korea uses KakaoTalk, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, and other Asian regions use LINE, and some places use Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Telegram, while most use WhatsApp. However, WhatsApp is now listed as a censorship app by relevant authorities... so..."

"What 'film-cracking software'? It's just an excuse they made up because they can't monitor it. Download it all! Once you're done, contact the customers. Anyone who doesn't meet their sales targets is fired!" Chen Yifeng slammed his fist on the table.

He learned his lesson from the incident in Fujian, and from then on, the company was required to keep a copy of all customer information. (End of Chapter)
