Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Ding Heng glanced at her briefly, then reached out and lightly flicked her forehead.

"You wrote this?"

"Ok!"

"What is this? I didn't quite understand it."

"Well……"

Just as Zhao Yanxi was about to protest, Ding Heng picked up his phone and dialed Lin Man's number.

"Hey? Lin Man, Yan hope's coffee shop is hiring. Can you get someone to draft a job posting?"

Lin Man on the other end of the phone agreed readily.

In less than an hour, a neatly formatted and professionally worded job posting appeared on recruitment platforms and social media.

Job postings, salary, requirements, contact information, etc., are all clearly displayed.

Zhao Yanxi was slightly annoyed: "Why do you let Sister Man do everything..."

Ding Heng shrugged: "Who told you to be so useless?"

"It's obviously very useful, you know!"

"for example?"

"Humph!"

Zhao Yanxi gave a soft hum, slowly lowered her body, and buried herself in the covers.

Two o'clock in the afternoon, in the temporary office area of ​​the coffee shop.

The first applicant was a young woman in her early twenties, heavily made up, with bright orange hair, and headphones around her neck—quite a trendy look…

After entering, she began to look around, clicking her tongue in amazement.

"This shop's decor is nice. How much did you invest, boss?"

Just as Zhao Yanxi was about to answer, Ding Heng spoke first.

"Are you here for a job interview?"

"Hmm."

The girl sat down leisurely, crossed her legs, and adopted a relaxed posture.

Ding Heng continued, "Have you made coffee before?"

"I worked there for six months at XX Coffee. That shop was too busy, with long lines every day. I was exhausted, so I quit."

"So you're looking for a less busy shop?"

"No, it's just that I wanted to find a place with a nice atmosphere. A small shop like yours is perfect. It's comfortable, there aren't many people, and it's not tiring to work there."

"If there are many customers, would you voluntarily work overtime?"

"Overtime is fine, but you have to pay overtime, right? Make it clear beforehand, I don't accept unpaid overtime with empty promises!"

"Okay, go back and wait for our notification. We'll contact you again later."

"Alright! Looks like there's no chance."

The girl was a sensible person and wasn't angry.

Finally, he smiled and waved to Zhao Yanxi: "Boss lady, you're very pretty. I wish you all the best in your business!"

After saying that, he skipped away.

Zhao Yanxi's expression was indescribable.

"Brother Ding Heng, this person..."

Even without much social experience, Zhao Yanxi could still intuitively sense that the other party was unreliable.

"A typical person who came here to slack off."

Ding Heng sighed and laughed: "They only care about benefits and have no sense of responsibility. They're good as friends, but hiring them as employees is like finding a patriarch for yourself."

Zhao Yanxi nodded thoughtfully and jotted down a few keywords in her notebook.

The second applicant was a young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, dressed simply and cleanly.

Upon entering, he first bowed slightly to Ding Heng and Zhao Yanxi, and even handed them a professional resume.

"Hello, both of you. My name is Chen Yu. I just graduated this year with a major in marketing."

"Hey...not bad academic background."

Ding Heng took his resume and looked it over: "Why are you applying for a job at a coffee shop?"

“I think the coffee industry has a bright future. The coffee market in Changsha is still on the rise, and young people are becoming more and more accepting of coffee. I want to start from the bottom, accumulate experience, and open my own coffee shop in the future.”

Ding Heng then asked, "Can you make coffee?"

"No, but I learn things very quickly."

"You have a bachelor's degree, don't you feel ashamed to do this kind of thing?"

"This is a step in my life plan, and I feel that as long as I follow my goals..."

Chen Yu gave a long reply, his words were polite and confident, which even gave Zhao Yanxi a strange feeling.

Why don't you take the civil service exam and come work at a coffee shop?

Ding Heng put down the resume and turned to Zhao Yanxi: "What do you want to ask?"

Zhao Yanxi pondered, "This is also my first time opening a coffee shop, so I might not be able to offer you any experience?"

Chen Yu said politely, "People are tempered and refined as they grow..."

He had a whole repertoire of persuasive words, which made Zhao Yanxi a little tipsy, and a smile appeared on her face.

Ding Heng coughed softly.

Zhao Yanxi quickly composed herself and asked, "So what are your salary requirements?"

Chen Yu reported a figure that was lower than the market average.

Ding Heng didn't say anything, but said, "Leave your resume first," and then sent him away.

After Chen Yu walked away, Zhao Yanxi couldn't help but ask Ding Heng.

"Brother Ding Heng, he seems quite ambitious, and he speaks very nicely too."

"A nice-talking person doesn't mean they're reliable. Besides, do you really think he came for the interview?"

"Otherwise, huh?"

"This……"

Ding Heng was both amused and exasperated. He patiently explained, "He speaks politely and naturally, using official jargon, which means he's been trained in school and probably participated in student council or some club activities. Do you really think he really wants to open a coffee shop?"

Zhao Yanxi was stunned.

"That is……"

"They came for you!"

"grass!"

Zhao Yanxi couldn't help but swear, and immediately realized what she had done.

No wonder he asked for a salary below market value; was he trying to seduce the boss's wife?

She opened her phone and blocked the other person, feeling puzzled.

"Brother Ding Heng, how did he know in advance that I was the coffee shop owner?"

"This isn't too far from our schools, so it's normal to have some news."

Now a junior in college, Zhao Yanxi still has quite a few suitors, even though many know she has a boyfriend.

Zhao Yanxi pouted, but didn't dwell on it anymore.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Ding Heng always managed to grasp the other party's problem in just a few words, making decisive judgments.

Zhao Yanxi watched and learned as she went, until nearly noon when the last applicant left.

"I'm so tired...more tired than going to class all day."

"This is only the first day."

Ding Heng closed his notebook: "There will be more tomorrow and the day after. Recruiting can't be rushed. Better to have none than to have bad ones."

Zhao Yanxi nodded obediently and leaned over to hug Ding Heng's arm.

"Brother Ding Heng, when will I be able to see through people like my dad?"

"Your dad spent decades in criminal investigation to get that skill. You're only twenty, what's the rush?"

"Then could you teach me something quick?"

"Quick training?"

Ding Heng reached out and pinched Zhao Yanxi's chin: "Remember three things."

"What three points?"

"First, don't listen to what the other party boasts about; you have to ask for details! What do they do? How do they do it? How do they solve problems when they encounter them? The more detailed the questions, the better you can judge."

Ding Heng spoke fluently, while Zhao Yanxi listened attentively.

"Secondly, an interview is not a blind date. Don't let the other person's appearance, eloquence, or enthusiasm lead you astray. The employee you need is someone who can do the job and won't cause you trouble, not someone who's there to make friends with you."

Third, and most importantly, you need to make the interviewee feel that you are not someone to be fooled.

"Then... how can I make people feel that I'm not easily fooled?"

"If you do the first two things first, the third thing will come naturally."

Zhao Yanxi nodded thoughtfully, then stretched.

"Let's go eat first, we can continue tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, a girl in her early twenties walked in. She was plain-looking and dressed rather plainly, and looked a bit drab.
