Who goes to work if they're a decent person?

When Su Ming arrived on the eighth floor, there were already two people sitting in the office.

Li Youming sat upright, her back ramrod straight, her hands neatly placed on her knees, like a primary school student waiting for a teacher's question.

Across from him sat a girl, relaxed and casual, one hand supporting her chin, her eyes darting around the office, her posture relaxed, making it hard to tell who was interviewing whom at a glance.

When Su Ming pushed the door open and entered, the girl was looking at the scenery outside the window. Hearing the noise, she immediately turned her head to look over.

Eyes facing each other.

The girl's eyes sparkled with laughter.

She was in her early twenties, slender, and wore a high ponytail.

Dressed in casual sportswear without any prominent logos, Su Ming felt that the clothes must be expensive; the material looked good and the cut was also well-fitting.

Most importantly, it's her aura. Just sitting there, without saying a word, you can inexplicably feel a sense of pressure emanating from her.

"Boss!" Li Youming was overjoyed to see Su Ming arrive, as if he were her savior.

She quickly stood up and pointed to the slender girl next to her, "This...this is Miss Gu Yushu. She came up here herself, saying she saw the job posting downstairs..."

"I came up here myself," Gu Yushu said, standing up and nodding to Su Ming.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

Her voice was clear and crisp, without any accent, so Su Ming couldn't immediately tell where she was from.

"Let's go inside and talk. There's a tea room there."

Su Ming pointed inside, gesturing for the two to go over.

The tea room had been there before, and knowing that Su Ming wanted to rent it, Liu Wei even changed the water and tea leaves for him.

Upon arriving at the tea room, Su Ming sat in the host's seat and somewhat awkwardly began brewing tea.

Gu Yushu and Li Youming sat opposite Su Ming.

He boiled water to scald the teacups, then brewed the tea. His actions looked unprofessional, but they were actually quite amateurish.

I poured the water too quickly, added too much tea, and even spilled a few drops when I poured out the first brew.

"Mr. Su, is this your first time brewing tea?"

Gu Yushu couldn't stand it any longer and asked with a smile.

Su Ming paused, looked up at her, and continued brewing tea without changing his expression.

"It's not the first time, it's the first time I've used this tea set."

"Is there any difference?" Gu Yushu asked, puzzled.

"The difference is huge." Su Ming continued pouring water, but his tone was very serious.

"Tea sets are like weapons; different tea sets require different techniques."

Every tea set has its own quirks, so I need to familiarize myself with this one first.

He poured the brewed tea into two small cups and pushed them towards Gu Yushu and Li Youming.

"For example, this teapot." Su Ming pointed to the purple clay teapot on the table.

"Its previous owner must have been an impatient person, and it was quite irritable, so I have to use slow-cold water to gradually warm it up and calm it down."

He then pointed to the teacup: "This cup has thin walls, so it dissipates heat quickly. You have to drink it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good when it cools down."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yushu picked up her teacup, looked at it, smelled it, and then took a sip.

But he didn't speak, he just looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued speaking without changing his expression:

"Hmm, this tea is good. Although the teaware was used too hastily and the brewing process was not perfect, the tea itself is of good quality, so it makes up for it."

Gu Yushu put down her teacup and suddenly smiled.

It turns out that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.

"Mr. Su is right. I was too superficial and only saw the surface without understanding the underlying principles."

"That's normal." Su Ming waved his hand. "Many people learn tea techniques but not the mindset. The key to brewing tea is not in the brewing process, but in the tea itself."

"Good tea will never taste too bad no matter how you brew it; bad tea is useless no matter how skillful you are."

"It's like doing business. If the project is good, you can succeed no matter how you operate it. If the project is bad, no matter how great the team is, it's all for nothing."

Gu Yushu watched Su Ming's boasting with interest: "That makes sense, I've learned something."

Beside her, Li Youming held her teacup, sipping it slowly, but inwardly she muttered, "The boss's mouth... he clearly doesn't know how to brew tea, yet he can still spout such a bunch of strange theories."

"Alright, we've had our tea, let's get down to business," Su Ming said, putting down his teacup and looking at Gu Yushu.

"Ms. Gu, what position are you interviewing for today?"

"I saw that you are recruiting people for live streaming, and I happen to know a little bit about it, so I would like to apply and give it a try."

Su Ming became interested and asked, "Oh? What kind of skills do you know?"

Gu Yushu thought for a moment, then her tone became serious: "I've studied the underlying logic of live streaming platforms, their traffic distribution mechanisms, user behavior prediction models, and the weight adjustments of real-time recommendation systems..."

Gu Yushu said a lot, but Su Ming didn't understand a word she said.

"Does live streaming require so much research?" Su Ming wondered.

Then Gu Yushu continued, "Moreover, I have some resources in this industry, and I know many experts and talents."

If I were to work for your company, I could quickly develop this part of your business and rapidly achieve profitability...

"And I don't want a salary."

Su Ming ignored the first part, but the last sentence immediately caught his attention.

"No salary?" Su Ming repeated.

"Yes!" Gu Yushu said frankly, "Money isn't important. I'm here to realize my own value in life."

After Gu Yushu finished speaking, the office was silent for two seconds.

Li Youming stared wide-eyed at Gu Yushu, feeling that the world was becoming more and more surreal.

Without even thinking, Su Ming said, "Okay, you're accepted."

"You've been accepted?" Gu Yushu was stunned for a moment.

"Of course," Su Ming said seriously. "I could see your extraordinary talent at a glance. It's rare to see such an outstanding young person these days."

I've decided that you'll be the head of our live stream from now on. Welcome to the team, Director Gu.

Su Ming stood up and extended his hand to Gu Yushu.

Gu Yushu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with Su Ming briefly.

"I'll give you the title first, but you'll have to do the work yourself, build your own team, and run the business yourself. I'm giving you a month; I need to see profits."

Su Ming rattled off a bunch of things and directly assigned Gu Yushu the task.

"Oh, by the way, you need to help me recruit 10 employees quickly."

Gu Yushu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Su Ming to make such a quick and decisive decision.

Logically speaking, any normal person would find this strange; who would come up without asking for a salary?

I don't know if Su Ming is stupid or overconfident.

Never mind, she just wanted to see what was so special about Su Ming anyway.

How exactly did they manage to steal traffic from the platform?

While Gu Yushu was still thinking, Su Ming had already instructed Li Youming to process Gu Yushu's onboarding.

After quickly completing the formalities and adding each other on WeChat, Su Ming told Gu Yushu to start work the next day.

After she left the office, Li Youming asked in a low voice, "The boss just hired him already? And gave him the position of director? Does he really not want a salary?"

"It's scary to not want a salary."

Su Ming sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"This shows that what she's after is far more valuable than her salary."

"Huh? What's she after?"

Su Ming smiled mysteriously: "She's after me."

"They're after my looks, they're after my talent."

Li Youming: "..."
