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

Chapter 278 Daenerys Targaryen has dug a hole.

Noon the next day.

Su Cheng, Qin Fen, and Zhang Yangwen accompanied Ye Li for a farewell meal.

Su Cheng even playfully poured herself a glass of fruit beer and toasted Ye Li with a "hero's drink".

"Damn it, shut up already! I'm not Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin, what kind of hero am I?!"

"I went there to conduct research, and you're giving me a free funeral beforehand?"

Su Cheng quickly spat and said, "Pah, pah, pah, it's my fault, it's bad luck."

Had a meal.

Su Cheng took Ye Li to the airport.

"Sister Chestnut, call me if anything comes up."

"Okay, I understand. You should go back now. You have an interview with President Long this afternoon."

"I'm leaving."

"Hey, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"Your car needs maintenance, remember to go to the 4S shop."

"middle!"

After seeing Ye Li off, Su Cheng rushed back to the company and went to Conference Room 1 to accompany Long Ruoli and Lin Lin for their interviews.

The corridor was already crowded with talented young people carrying resumes and backpacks.

These people were all outstanding talents carefully selected by Su Cheng and Lin Lin.

Besides the corridor, several meeting rooms were also filled with interviewees, totaling about two hundred people.

Everyone looked at the flustered Su Cheng with strange eyes, until Su Cheng rushed into conference room number one and they realized that Su Cheng was the interviewer.

As soon as she entered, Su Cheng gasped for breath: "Oh dear, President Long, Team Leader Lin, am I not late?"

Long Ruoli raised her wrist and glanced at the Vacheron Constantin: Hmm... I'm 1 minute and 25 seconds late.

However, Long Ruoli didn't say much. Instead, she asked, "Team Leader Su, did you see Supervisor Ye off?"

"Yes, I've seen them off. I'm really sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way."

"It's alright, let's begin."

"Ouk."

After Su Cheng sat down, Long Ruoli gave her bespectacled assistant a look, and the young woman immediately understood and began to notify the interviewees outside one by one.

He and Lin Lin sifted through about two hundred resumes, but only hired thirty-five people today.

Those workplace drama movies where leaders or mentors reject a large number of resumes on the first day are not fictional; the competition at Shengyue is just that fierce.

Today, Long Ruoli is the main interviewer, and Su Cheng and Lin Lin are the assistant interviewers. They are basically just there to give Long Ruoli advice.

She sat upright, with her shoulders and neck relaxed and her spine straight, as if there was an invisible pillar supporting her from within.

During the interview, his demeanor was calm and composed, without any unnecessary fidgeting. Every gesture conveyed absolute control over his own space and position.

Long Ruoli's eyes are the sharpest weapon in her aura. Her gaze is direct, steady, and extremely penetrating, as if she can instantly see through the core of things and people's hearts.

When talking to someone, she looks at them intently. This focus makes the other person feel valued, but it also puts an invisible pressure on them.

Under these conditions, any pretense will be exposed.

Long Ruoli's eyebrows, the lines of her face, and even her slightly raised chin all exude a deep sense of confidence.

This is not arrogance, but rather a firm belief based on the profound accumulation of countless successes and a clear self-awareness.

Her voice was clear, steady, and rich in texture.

Speak at a moderate pace when asking questions, ensuring that every word is conveyed accurately.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough to quiet the entire conference room.

She listened attentively, and this focus itself could put pressure on the other person, demonstrating her respect for the information the interviewee was providing.

Long Ruoli's core aura comes from her powerful and stable inner core.

She knew exactly what kind of intern she wanted, and how to probe for the information she needed.

Su Cheng had already been late, so she dared not slack off during the interview.

He was fully focused and absorbed in the interview.

Su Cheng barely spoke, but she was very attentive in judging the other person's every word and action.

Surprisingly, Long Ruoli offered internship offers to almost every interviewee who received Su Cheng's approval.

Long Ruoli rejected all the interviewees who lacked basic qualities and were rejected by Su Cheng from the bottom of her heart.

The two made surprisingly similar choices.

This brings us to the time when we were screening resumes.

Lin Lin was making her selections seriously, while Su Cheng appeared to be making them casually, but in reality, he had his own thoughts.

But Su Cheng still let in some truly talented young people; she couldn't just stuff them all with shit, that would be too fake.

Moreover, even if Geely sends them rejection emails, some people will not choose Su Cheng and Zhao Peng's 'startup company' which is operating under the radar.

Even though the competition among large companies is fierce, people will still firmly choose the super large companies.

Just like these talented young people who received internship offers today, it doesn't guarantee that they will definitely become employees of the group. Their performance will be evaluated later, and those who don't perform well will be dismissed. Those with potential will be observed for another year, just like Su Cheng, who interned for two years before becoming a full-time employee.

But it doesn't matter.

Geely's brand is well-known all over the world.

Some people talk for a long time, from ten minutes to half an hour.

Some people, however, have very short conversations, and can usually determine whether they meet Shengyue's requirements in just a few minutes.

The interview lasted from the afternoon until 9 p.m.

Su Cheng's stomach was growling from hunger.

Long Ruoli took a sip of coffee, then looked up at her assistant and asked, "How many offers have you sent out?"

"Mr. Long, that's exactly 35 servings."

"OK, how many people are still outside?"

"Uh, just a moment, Mr. Halon, let me take a look." The assistant quickly flipped through the documents, "There are 71 more."

"Okay, let the rest go back. Just refuse them."

Su Cheng and Lin Lin were stunned on the spot.

ha?
So they've already sent out 35 offers?

At first, the two thought they had misheard Long Ruoli saying that they should come back tomorrow, but she refused without even meeting them?

Long Ruoli shut Su Cheng up with just one sentence.

"We've already hired enough people, why do we need to conduct further interviews?"

"It's a waste of our time, and a waste of theirs too."

"Uh, because they've been waiting since 2 PM?"

"What does this have to do with us? That's the time cost they incurred in hoping to join the Emperor Group."

Long Ruoli's words were sharp and incisive, giving no one a chance to refute or offer any arguments.

Su Cheng curled his lips.

If that's the case, then Long Ruoli doesn't seem to be wrong.

Su Cheng used to conduct all the interviews, regardless of whether the candidates were good or bad. This way, even if she didn't end up hiring them, it would at least make her image look better.

"Team Leader Su, if you were to participate in a singing competition, would you prefer to be the first or the last to go on stage?"

Long Ruoli's sudden question left Su Cheng completely bewildered.

"Uh, the last one to go?"

“Hmm, correct answer.” Long Ruoli raised one eyebrow slightly. “Then could you explain why you were the last one to go up?”

Su Cheng couldn't answer.

His intuition told him to go on last, or to try to go on as late as possible.

"It's okay if you can't say it, Team Leader Su, I can tell you."

"This is mainly due to the 'primacy effect'."

"At the beginning, the judges are quite stingy with their scores. If they give high scores at the beginning, then when a better singer comes out later, there won't be much room for them to score." "The judges often compare the contestants with their imagined 'perfect contestant,' and you can imagine how high those standards are, and how low the scores will be."

"The same applies to interviews. As a fair and excellent interviewer, you must find ways to avoid bias caused by the order of interviews."

"It was you and Team Leader Lin who screened the resumes. You should know how many people there are. We don't have time to do extra rounds of comprehensive comparisons."

"We will give an offer as long as there is a suitable candidate. This is the most efficient way to conduct interviews."

Both emotionally and logically, Long Ruoli has the upper hand.

Su Cheng couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a moment, and he even wanted to agree with Long Ruoli's statement.

If it were anyone else, Long Ruoli wouldn't have bothered with so much talk; she would have just given this person a look and let him figure it out himself.

However, one of Long Ruoli's responsibilities after being transferred to Shengyue was to help Tianyan teach his son. She was in the role of a tutor/homeroom teacher, so as the Crown Prince's tutor, she naturally had to teach this Crown Prince patiently and gently!

Su Cheng didn't argue and readily admitted her logic.

That's right.

Long Ruoli was indeed right.

"That's all for today. You can all go back and rest. We'll have another meeting in Conference Room 1 at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

Long Ruoli was the first to stand up, followed closely by Su Cheng and Lin Lin.

The three walked out of the meeting room, where many interviewees were still waiting in the corridor.

Su Cheng carefully observed their expressions. These talented young men, who hadn't even had an interview, didn't show anger on their faces; instead, they looked more helpless and regretful.

He seemed to accept the outcome of having received an interview invitation but not being interviewed in a very calm manner.

It was quite different from what Su Cheng had imagined.

……

The next morning.

Su Cheng arrived at the company early; he dared not be late today, arriving more than half an hour early.

Around nine o'clock.

Shengyue's middle and senior management, including department heads, deputy heads, and team leaders, all gathered in Conference Room 1.

Long Ruoli was the last to arrive.

"Is everyone here? Let's start the meeting now."

Today's meeting discussed merger matters.

Long Ruoli gestured for Deng Qiang to speak and make his introduction.

Deng Qiang stood up and cleared his throat: "After a serious discussion with President Long and us..."

Groups 1, 3, and 4 are merged into 4 groups.

The original group leader will continue to assume the responsibilities of group leader.
Groups 2 and 7 are merged into Group 7.

The original leader of Group Seven, Su Cheng, will continue to serve as the leader.

Groups 5 and 6 were merged into Group 5.

8 and 9 are merged, and 10 and 15 are merged.

In other words.

From now on, all of Shengyue's teams will be large groups, no longer large-small group structures: Group 4, Group 5, Group 7, Group 8, and Group 10.

The members of the first, second, and third groups are mainly interns, and some senior colleagues were transferred from the previous groups to mentor them.

The other five groups will be assigned a small number of interns.

In addition, there was a personnel adjustment.

That is, to formally promote Lin Lin to deputy director at the meeting.

This news is actually not much different from what everyone guessed, because if Ye Li leaves, then Lin Lin is the one who would be the next most likely to leave.

Lin Lin's expression was somewhat complicated at this moment.

It wasn't because she joined K9, but because Group 2 was merged directly with Group 7.

Her original designation was revoked.

Deng Qiang thought Long Ruoli was very shrewd.

Because merging the groups would disrupt the original structure, making it easier for her to control.

However, Su Cheng did not think that forming a partnership with Long Ruoli would enhance her control over Sheng Yue; there was absolutely no need for it.

Some groups do exist for slacking off, but the influence of the synthesis group is second only to direct recruitment to bring in fresh blood, and it can stimulate the enthusiasm of colleagues to a certain extent.

It’s time to say it or not.

This guy has a knack for it.

Su Cheng and Lin Lin exchanged a furtive glance.

Fortunately, no one with connections was placed in Group 7 or Group 2.

Lin Lin's look seemed to be saying to Su Cheng: You should be secretly happy.

Besides merging groups.

Long Ruoli also changed the welfare structure for staff, mainly targeting interns, further reducing interns' attendance and wages.

Su Cheng roughly calculated that an intern would only receive three or four thousand yuan in miscellaneous wages, which is roughly the lowest wage standard in Jingzhou.

So Long Ruoli still wants to compress this part?

He calculated it according to the new standard, and now a new intern might get 2750?

That's a bit devilish.

It was even more torturous than when Su Cheng was interning.

Not only that, Long Ruoli also wants to raise the attendance standards, requiring every intern to have 100% attendance.

Su Cheng has already seen it.

The 35 interns came from all over the country, but they had one thing in common.

That means the family is not short of money.

Although they are not as wealthy as Zhang Gongzi's family, let alone Su Cheng's family, they can easily support them to stay at home and take a break from work for several years.

Su Cheng understood from Long Ruoli's expression that it was already quite good that she hadn't completely cut them off but was continuing to pay these interns' salaries.

If Long Ruoli goes any further, she'll be making those interns pay money for Sheng Yue.

Believe it or not, Su Cheng actually noticed that she had that intention. If it weren't for the company's principles holding her back, she probably would have done it.

Simultaneously.

Long Ruoli also revoked the deputy team leader's privilege of having an office.

Su Cheng didn't have any objections to this.

The deputy team leader didn't have an office in any of the group's companies. Sheng Yue had this rule because Deng Qiang wanted to curry favor with her, so Su Cheng readily accepted Deng Qiang's offer.

The meeting mainly covered these few points.

Long Ruoli concluded by saying, "Everyone is welcome to share any suggestions they may have."

There was silence.

With this kind of change, who would dare to offer any suggestions?

"Team Leader Su."

Long Ruoli suddenly called out Su Cheng.

"what?"

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

"No, I support your measures, Mr. Long. I believe these changes will make Shengyue even better."

Long Ruoli: ...

Just say it when I tell you to.

Why are you even using such vulgar language?

"Then let me ask you a question."

"Uh, okay." Su Cheng was a little nervous; he had no idea what trap Long Ruoli had set for him.

"How much resources and effort do you think we should invest in training interns?"
