Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 316 Interviewing New Employees (Supplement 1)

"Are you finally hiring?"

Hearing Zhang Zhe's request, Teacher Wang was not surprised at all; in fact, she seemed a little pleased.

"Have you also been driven to psychological distress by those weirdos? I knew this day would come."

"But you're too late. None of our matchmakers have wanted to quit lately."

"There's nothing I can do to help."

“It’s alright, I wasn’t planning on hiring the matchmaker you left anyway.” Zhang Zhe’s needs were more than ordinary: “To be honest, traditional matchmakers don’t really suit my taste.”

"I actually want to hire newcomers who are just starting out in the industry, understand some of the basic principles of matchmaking, and have a passion for this field."

"These kinds of people can be cultivated gradually, and they will be more in line with the corporate culture of our matchmaking agency in the future."

"Nonsense, right?" Teacher Wang didn't quite believe Zhang Zhe's words: "Isn't the reason for hiring new people because young people are easier to exploit?"

"There is no exploitation involved. It's mainly because young people are easy to communicate with. Nowadays, those born in the 90s are the main force in the blind date group."

"Okay, let me think about it."

"Okay, I'll ask someone for some information and send it to you later."

Teacher Wang gave Zhang Zhe a lot of face and directly used her connections to contact the women in charge of recruitment at the matchmaking agency.

I asked them for information on some interviewees who had applied for jobs with them, were qualified, but ultimately couldn't reach an agreement for various reasons.

There were a total of 49 copies, which were packaged and sent to Zhang Zhe.

Upon receiving the materials, Zhang Zhe immediately began screening them.

Aside from those who seemed unsuitable at first glance, he called every single one of the remaining candidates who had even the slightest chance of success.

It's just like unscrupulous telemarketing.

There's no way around it; his matchmaking agency is essentially a startup. He's confident in himself, but others can't see it.

Unlike tech companies, matchmaking agencies cannot disclose how much money they have raised in funding.

Zhang Zhe could only rely on empty promises and the number of followers on several of his online accounts to attract the other party.

After two whole days of hard work, he finally found the first job seeker willing to apply, who was also the only one among 49 applications.

Yu Rui, 28 years old, unmarried, a local man from Qing City, is a divorce lawyer who recently left his job and plans to switch careers to the dating and marriage industry.

This guy used to work at a law firm in the provincial capital, but he left for personal reasons and went back to his hometown to start his own business. He opened a law firm, but it recently went bankrupt. So now he's a bit disheartened with the legal profession and wants to look for other opportunities.

Zhang Zhe had a brief chat with him on the phone and quickly discovered that the other party had a significant advantage.

It's a strength that even Zhang Zhe, the manager of the matchmaking agency, doesn't possess.

That is: he can help clients reduce the legal risks of marriage.

The man claimed to have handled hundreds of divorce cases and had even produced some legal education videos on his law firm's official WeChat account when he was in the provincial capital.

He said he could tell at a glance which women would file for divorce after marriage.

Zhang Zhe didn't believe him. He was so arrogant. He had to invite him over for a chat.

The two met at the matchmaking agency at 3 p.m. on Friday.

Zhang Zhe's eyes lit up the moment he saw the other person. Round face, full beard, wearing black-rimmed glasses, isn't this the standard "bear-like" look? Is this Liu Yifei in the eyes of Chengdu men?
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Zhe asked him directly:

"Mr. Yu, do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend now?"

“I see that your marital status says you are single, but actually, for the job of a matchmaker, being married has a greater advantage.”

“I’m already engaged, and we’ll get married after the New Year,” Yu Rui replied. “I’m going back to my hometown so that it will be easier for my wife and me to develop our careers locally after we get married.”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhe nodded. Qing City wasn't that open-minded; people usually married people of the opposite sex, which meant his older brother's orientation was probably normal.

That's great. He's not aggressive-looking; both men and women like him. He's perfect for this kind of service industry job.

"Your resume says you left your job for personal reasons, is that because of marriage?"

"There are reasons for this."

"Do you think it's a rational choice to give up your job in a big city and return to your hometown just to get married, only to have to change careers now?"

Zhang Zhe knew his question had been a bit harsh, so he quickly tried to smooth things over with another question:
"If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to answer this question."

"Actually, whether I get married or not, I plan to go back to my hometown."

Yu Rui smiled and explained:

"I've dealt with several clients who gave up their jobs for their partners, only to end up getting divorced and regretting it deeply. I would never do something so foolish."

"Okay, what I really want to know is whether you have the ability to flexibly apply the cases you've handled before to your matchmaking work."

"As long as you understand what I mean, that's fine." Zhang Zhe nodded, fairly satisfied with Rui's comprehension ability.

He then spent another ten minutes assessing the other party's professional abilities.

It's basically asking the other person about the contents of the marriage law.

After confirming that the other party was indeed a lawyer specializing in divorce cases, Zhang Zhe directly discussed the issue of compensation with him.

Let's just hire them and see. With the current conditions of matchmaking agencies, it's really not easy to find a reliable one.

The conditions Zhang Zhe offered were actually quite good:

Monthly salary of 6,500 yuan, five social insurances and one housing fund, working from 1 pm to 8 pm every day, five days a week.

If you're a recent graduate, you'd be thrilled to find a job with this kind of pay in Qingdao.

But for a 28-year-old former lawyer, that's obviously quite ordinary.

"Aside from money, we can discuss other benefits, such as shorter working hours, or you working only four and a half days a week."

Zhang Zhe tried his best to appear sincere. If this guy really wanted to be a matchmaker, he had great potential and was worth nurturing.

"I hired you mainly to handle offline consulting business. To be honest, you probably won't have much to do most of the time."

"You can even do some part-time work when there are no customers, that's all negotiable."

Yu Rui listened silently, thought for a while, and then said, "Teacher Zhang, I came here to learn how to be a matchmaker. No matter how good your offer is, it's useless if you don't teach me how to be a matchmaker!"

"I'd rather you pay less and give me more work, as long as I can really learn some skills, I have no objection."

"So that's what you were thinking?" Zhang Zhe gave an awkward laugh. "I thought you were going to teach yourself."

"To be honest, I don't have much to teach you. I myself am self-taught and have learned most of my skills on my own."

"Really? You're not kidding me?" Yu Rui frowned. "You mean, you taught yourself to be a matchmaker, not only opening your own matchmaking agency, but also cultivating two accounts with so many followers?"

“Is that right?”

"At first glance, it might seem a bit off, but I'm not lying to you." Zhang Zhe couldn't find any evidence to prove that he was self-taught.

It sounds like he's bragging no matter how you look at it.

Finally, having run out of options, he simply told Yu Rui, "How about this, if you're willing to come, you can work with me from now on."

"Whether it's live streaming or receiving customers, you'll be learning from the sidelines. I won't hide it from you. How much you learn depends on your abilities."

"Ok?"

“Okay.” Yu Rui nodded excitedly: “That’s exactly what I meant.”
