I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 277 Don’t eat coriander
Oh.

Su Cheng seemed to understand.

It seems that it was during the time when Ye Li ran away from home and two old men took over her house and rented it out to them.

But this association is just too ridiculous; they've even started spreading rumors about them living together.

If they found out that Ye Li had gone back to his hometown with him, wouldn't the rumors be even more outrageous?

"I know, Ye Li went back to your hometown with you."

Su Cheng: ???
"How did you know? Did you hear it from a colleague?"

"No, that's not it. During the Spring Festival, headquarters transferred us to Shanghai. I saw Ye Li's plane ticket. She flew from Yebei Airport and landed in Shanghai. Isn't your hometown Yebei?"

"Although our company says office romances are prohibited, that's only on the surface. As long as you don't get caught by the internal affairs department, it's fine."

"Besides, you're living together, it's not like you're having an office romance, what are you afraid of?"

Su Cheng:?
I'll wipe it.

"Hey lady, what's the difference between living together and dating?"

"Well, they are a little different. The former is a physical connection, while the latter is a connection of mind and body."

Lin Lin was thinking of giving Su Cheng, the person in question, a way out so he could gossip about her, but Su Cheng's reaction was too much.

"No, we didn't!"

"Ye Li did come back to my hometown with me, but she went on vacation. Don't spread this around!"

Go and go.

Lin Lin thought that if Su Cheng didn't want to admit it, then so be it.

"I didn't spread rumors. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"That's good." Su Cheng quickly changed the subject. "Then, President Lin, let's stop slacking off and start screening resumes now, shall we?"

The two immediately began screening the resumes in the meeting room.

Meeting room number 16 is different from the other meeting rooms. It is a medium-sized meeting room that can accommodate 25 people for group meetings at the same time, so it uses an extra-large rectangular table.

The resumes on the table are about one meter high and take up about one-third of the table's area.

Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Australia?

No!

Australian undergraduate, UK master's, Southeast Asian doctoral.

Su Cheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw the colorful resume. "Hey buddy, did you go to Pinnacle Education?"
University College London (UCL)

No!

King's College London (KCL)... Holy crap, even the Potassium Chloride University is here.

No!

Huh? How come this is an eight-year undergraduate program?
Su Cheng took another look; he thought it came from Germany, but it turned out to be from Australia.

Holy crap, there's even someone from Beidao studying abroad.

There was absolutely no screening involved in this personnel process...

Lin Lin was much slower at looking at resumes than Su Cheng. She took out a resume and handed it to Su Cheng to look at.

"Team Leader Su, take a look at this."

"Ok?"

Su Cheng took the resume from Lin Lin, thinking that Lin Lin might have some doubts about it.

New South Wales?
"Australia's slip-throughs, all Australians can be directly passed over."

Graduation from an Australian university is equivalent to a private college diploma in China, which can improve efficiency by at least 90%.

"No, look at the column below. His father is a major shareholder of a private bank in Switzerland."

"Ok?"

Su Cheng read a few more lines.

It really is.

"That's not right. We're a consulting firm. Such outstanding contract-oriented talent should be applying to our group's financial securities company. Did he make the wrong choice?"

"Perhaps, I'll submit it to the financial sector."

"No, don't worry about it, just leave it there, otherwise the financial sector will think you're endorsing it."

"Uh, that makes sense."

Su Cheng continued filtering down the list. He caught sight of a special resume with a yellow sticky note that read, "[Du Juan Intern]", handwritten in pencil.

"Mr. Lin, what's this note?"

"It seems to be the son of the domestic president's agent from the Dujuan Group last time."

"I don't understand what you mean. You gave us hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business, and now you want to put your son in? Do you think Shengyue is some shady financial company?"

Lin Lin whispered a reminder: "This looks like a handwritten note from President Long."

"Oh." Su Cheng's expression changed faster than flipping through a book. "Then let's give him an intern."

"President Lin, this glorious task is entrusted to you. This is the kind of outstanding contracting talent we need. What was that Swiss guy just now? He tried to get his resume through connections but still ended up submitting it to the wrong company. President Lin, just put him in your second group."

Lin Lin: ? ? ?
"Why don't you release Group Seven?"

"Our group doesn't need this kind."

"???"

Lin Lin wanted to curse Su Cheng.

Oh, you Group Seven don't want useless people, but I want useless people?

"It's not Mr. Lin... what I mean is that our Group 7 is a small group, and we need people who can do the work of two people."

"President Lin, your team is a large one, so having a few more people slacking off won't make a difference."

Lin Lin: ? ? ?
"The groups will be merged soon, and then your Group 7 will be a large group too."

"That won't work either, I don't have time to take him with me."

"Then you can just crawl away from me, I don't want it either, just put out one set."

"Big sister, don't be angry, just put one set in."

The two continued screening resumes.

Su Cheng received a very thick, color-printed resume, which also included a developed photo.

The girl in the photos is pretty good-looking. She's basically wearing the makeup of a pure and innocent college student. In the photos, she's pursing her lips into a thin line, with heavy blush. There are also a few posed photos where she's covering her mouth and laughing.

This resume gave Su Cheng the impression of a college student who was a "non-cilantro" type of online personality and loved to travel.

Take a look at the information.

as predicted.

Australia again.

It's New South Wales again.

The hobbies section lists: travel, snowboarding, surfing, and skiing.

I have visited fourteen countries.

The most classic example is the one who specifically marked their MBTI: INTP personality.

Uh-huh-huh.

OK.

However, the girl missed a line; she should have added: "Loves durian and cherries."

Su Cheng was amused and couldn't wait to share it with Lin Lin: "President Lin, take a look at this."

Lin Lin was also surprised: "Is she here to look for a job?"

Su Cheng shook her head with a wry smile: "I don't know!"

"Hey, wait a minute, there's a note in here too."

"Huh? Another sticky note?"

"It seems to be the person that Supervisor Deng wants."

"Let me see."

Su Cheng took the pink note from Lin Lin. It was indeed written by Deng Qiang. The note roughly said that he had already interviewed the girl alone and asked the two of them to reserve a place for her.

"Oh."

"I think Deng Qiang is fucking suicidal."

Lin Lin looked at Su Cheng with great fear.

This... this guy just started yelling at us? Deng Qiang is the supervisor now, no matter what!
If Deng Qiang heard this, he would definitely make things difficult for Su Cheng.

But then again.

It's not a problem for Su Cheng to start cursing.

Deng Qiang stuck this note in the middle of his resume, unlike Boss Long who stuck it on the first page. He secretly asked them to reserve a spot for him.

All that talk about one-on-one interviews is bullshit. Deng Qiang has already had a solo session with this girl, hasn't he?

Since taking office, President Long hasn't even made any significant moves yet, and Deng Qiang's actions against the grain clearly indicate he's asking for trouble.

Long Ruoli's note is understandable; her long-term cooperation with the Dujuan Group is legitimate to a certain extent.

Deng Qiang's note was purely driven by personal desires.

Lin Lin hesitated to make a decision: "Team Leader Su, what do you plan to do?"

Paji.

Su Cheng simply and roughly threw it aside, demonstrating his attitude through his actions.

This action earned Lin Lin's appreciation.

After screening the resumes for about an hour, Su Cheng lost her patience.

He was already screening resumes very quickly, but he was gradually becoming more and more irritable.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, is there really no one available in HR?"

"Didn't I say that HR is busy? They need to discuss the merger of the teams with Supervisor Deng and General Manager Long?"

"Oh, right." Su Cheng glanced helplessly at the mountain of documents on the table. "If the two of us keep going like this, how long will it take?"

"Then how?"

"How about we just draw randomly, whatever we get is fine."

Lin Lin: ? ? ?
"This is far too perfunctory."

"Oh, this is not perfunctory at all. Didn't you see how the other side chose? They were even more extravagant than us!"

“Let me show you how the HR people in finance next door screen resumes.” Su Cheng picked up a stack of resumes and imitated them. “Aquarius, Gemini, blood type B, INFP, those born in the Year of the Ox or the Year of the Tiger, and Australians are all rejected.”

Lin Lin was amused by Su Cheng, and she also felt that there were too many resumes.

Boss Long only gave the two of them one day. The interviews will be arranged in the next day or two, and there is simply not enough time to complete the screening.

"Then... try it?"

"Let's try it."

Su Cheng grabbed a stack of resumes and began to select candidates.

He happily selected the resumes he had chosen.

Upon seeing this, Su Cheng was dumbfounded.

Edinburgh?
What kind of university is this?

"This doesn't count, let's do it again."

Su Cheng started selecting candidates again, choosing one from a stack of resumes.

MIT?

"good."

"As expected of a student from the prestigious MIT, you're so lucky to have been chosen by me so quickly."

Su Cheng casually put this resume into the selection area, and threw the rest into the trash can.

Lin Lin: ? ? ?
"This is outrageous! If Boss Long finds out, he'll skin us alive. I'd better just see for myself."

That night.

Su Cheng then secretly met with Zhao Peng in the underground parking lot.

"Mr. Zhao, please take the things from the trunk later."

"Mr. Su, what are you talking about?"

Su Cheng got out of the car, opened the trunk, and showed Zhao Peng two large boxes full of personnel resumes.

"This is?"

“Some of our company’s employees are among them.”

No matter what kind of company Su Cheng builds, it won't work without talented people.

However, it is difficult for startups to recruit people, and it is even more difficult to recruit talented people.

Su Cheng has already thought it through.

He not only wants to steal his father's assets, but he also wants to steal his father's people.

However, he doesn't have much of an opportunity to steal assets now.

But it doesn't matter, Su Cheng has plenty of patience, he can wait.

This year, Shengyue's business restructuring involves internal liquidation within the group. There will definitely be some non-performing assets to be dealt with. Su Cheng can simply have Zhao Peng take over under a well-known guise.

It wasn't easy for him to get those two large boxes of resumes onto the car and transport them out.

After Su Cheng's explanation, Zhao Peng roughly understood.

"These resumes have already been screened; you can just contact them directly."

"But Mr. Su, these people applied to Shengyue Consulting, largely because of the Dihao Group's brand. Can I contact them?"

"Sure, why not? Just say we're a startup company with a deep partnership with the Emperor Group, and we can just make up some promises, right?"

"Well, to be precise, we're not just making empty promises."

"Fake it, until you make it."

"what?"

"A famous Silicon Valley saying, haven't you heard of it, Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Peng had certainly heard of the sayings like "pretend you're capable until you actually are," and "a lie that isn't exposed until you succeed is called a prophecy."

However, Zhao Peng felt that this statement was not accurate enough in this context, because he believed that Su Cheng was genuinely capable rather than just pretending.

And they actually have money, they're not just pretending to.

Su Cheng didn't care whether it was accurate or not; he just wanted to give himself and Zhao Peng a perfect explanation for their motives, so that Zhao Peng wouldn't have such a strong moral burden.

However, judging from Zhao Peng's attitude, it seems like he's doing something unnecessary.

“Tell them that your qualifications and resume are not enough to join Shengyue, but you can join us.”

"Let me know when you've chosen the candidates, and I'll send them rejection emails. They'll then naturally contact you."

"As for the departmental structure and personnel system, you can just copy the Dihao Group. Copy Shengyue instead; Shengyue is easier to copy."

Su Cheng wants to establish a comprehensive investment structure, so copying Sheng Yue's structure is the most suitable approach.

"Investment institutions? Mr. Su, are we going into finance?"

"Well, it's not exactly finance, it's more like investment, taking over assets that other groups don't want."

Su Cheng thought about it and felt that it was a bit troublesome and awkward to explain, so she gave an example.

"Mr. Zhao, just think of us as people who resell and refurbish used cars. We just buy those cars that have been in major accidents and those old, dilapidated cars and refurbish them."

Zhao Peng quickly understood what Su Cheng meant: "President Su, should we buy those old cars, refurbish them, or sell them?"

"You can open it yourself or sell it."

"If you get tired of driving it, just sell it; if you enjoy driving it, keep it."

If it can continuously bring positive benefits to Su Cheng, including economic, social status, and influence, then it should be kept and operated by oneself.

If those bankrupt companies are not doing well and have no prospects or development potential, then refurbish them and sell them to make a profit from the price difference.

"Yes, Mr. Su, I understand!" Zhao Peng nodded solemnly. "And what about our salaries?"

"Just follow the example set by the Emperor Group."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Peng then asked Su Cheng if she would still participate in the interview.

"I won't be attending the interview. I have to accompany Boss Long to interview Shengyue. You can pick whichever you like. I've already screened all these resumes."

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, I've attached a fluorescent yellow sticky note to a resume. You can look for it later."

"She graduated from New South Wales, Australia. Her resume even has travel photos. Ask her if she'd like to come to our company. If she does, hire her and let her do some odd jobs first. I'll need her later."

"it is good!"

Zhao Peng agreed without hesitation. Someone who Su Cheng said was useful must be an outstanding talent.
