Chapter 1596: Time for a Big Move
In the office, Director Xiao and Murong Hai both wore serious expressions, understanding that this recruitment fair was a must-win, no-room-for-failure situation.
Their statuses had long been transformed, and Xu Ke even privately told Director Xiao that if he handled this matter well this time.
Then Xu Ke would personally gift him 1% of the company’s shares.
It’s known that 1% of Xu Group’s shares is a fortune, and many people are willing to go to great lengths to buy Xu Group’s shares but often find it impossible.
Xu Ke trusted Director Xiao, which is why he made this request of him.
Director Xiao has been diligent in the company for many years.
During Mr. Xu’s tenure, he was also very satisfied with Director Xiao.
The fact that Mr. Xu once made a special trip to the design department in the company is enough to show Director Xiao’s position in his mind.
Moreover, after returning home, Mr. Xu repeatedly reminded Xu Ke to treat Director Xiao well.
He is a major contributor to the company, always silently contributing behind the scenes.
It could be said that the success of Xu Group today is inseparable from everyone in the company, especially the significant contributions of Director Xiao.
Mr. Xu also mentioned that there was a time when Director Xiao worked overtime at the company every day.
To the extent that his wife was about to divorce him, it was Mr. Xu who intervened to resolve the matter favorably.
For someone like this, Xu Ke naturally regards him highly and treats him well.
As the saying goes, people would die for those who know them, both Xu Ke and Mr. Xu have been very kind to Director Xiao, and Director Xiao has seen it.
It is precisely because of this that he is now working more diligently than before.
The company regulations state that work ends at 5, but Director Xiao often works overtime until seven or eight, and sometimes even pulls all-nighters.
His wife has spoken to him several times about this matter.
But when Director Xiao revealed the 1% share offer from Xu Ke, his wife immediately fell silent.
Because she also understands what 1% of Xu Group’s shares entails.
She has also begun to gradually understand her husband, realizing that he works so hard outside all for their family.
Director Xiao’s recent good state is largely due to his wife’s growing understanding of him.
Previously, every time he was late coming home, his wife would always complain in various ways.
But since this time, she rarely complains and sometimes even encourages him to work overtime.
Gaining family understanding is something Director Xiao felt incredibly happy about, even more so than that 1% share.
Ultimately, people live the world for their families. No matter how hard one works, the ultimate goal is to provide a better life for their family.
These years, even though Director Xiao has been in his position as a director, coupled with the company’s excellent salary and benefits, he has made a decent sum.
However, the money he’s made is far from enough for their family.
Director Xiao’s daughter is studying abroad, with yearly expenses being a considerable sum.
Director Xiao is known to be honest and upright, having never embezzled anything from the company over the years.
So even if he earns a bit, most of it is spent on his daughter, leaving their family’s economic situation quite ordinary.
One might find it hard to believe, but Director Xiao recently took a loan to buy a house of around 100 square meters.
Bear in mind, he is an executive at Xu Group, and appears extravagant to outsiders.
But no one knows what happens behind the scenes, nor the struggles he faces.
"Director Xiao, Director Xiao."
Murong Hai’s voice pulled Director Xiao back to reality.
Only then did Director Xiao realize he’d thought about too many things and somehow fell asleep.
"Sorry, Captain Murong, I’ve been working overtime lately and couldn’t resist sleeping just now."
"No worries, no worries. Seeing how hard you’ve been working, I couldn’t bear to wake you. But now, we don’t have much time left. We should quickly finalize the specific details of this recruitment."
Both were clear on the recruitment contents, now it was about how they would communicate.
After two intense hours of preparation, they finally settled on all recruitment details.
After a morning of meetings, both were quite satisfied with the result.
Especially Director Xiao, who usually handled recruitment alone, feeling extreme pressure.
Unexpectedly, this year Murong Hai helped him, significantly lightening his burden.
Typically, he’d spend several days on such matters, but this time, just one morning had it sorted between the two.
As the saying goes, three dumb cobblers make a Zhuge Liang, this teamwork was notably faster than working alone.
"Captain Murong, since the details are finalized, I’ll arrange for people to handle it immediately. Today, I’ll issue the recruitment notice on our website, preparing for recruitment to start tomorrow morning."
Murong Hai nodded slightly, only wishing to complete the task given by Xu Ke quickly.
Then he could spend some time traveling with his girlfriend, Bai Lan.
That afternoon, Director Xiao posted the recruitment announcement on Xu Group’s website.
The announcement stirred a huge uproar in society.
For over a decade, Xu Group’s recruitment criteria had remained unchanged.
The minimum three-year work experience had deterred many.
Yet this year’s announcement noticeably lacked that requirement, and the recruitment was for as many as 150 people.
Notably, many keen observers found Xu Group intending to recruit newly graduated college students.
This news caused joy among many recent graduates.
If they could join Xu Group, their future would be incredibly bright.
With dedicated work, tasks like buying cars, homes, marrying a wealthy spouse, and reaching life’s peak would be effortless.
In just an afternoon, the HR department’s email received over two thousand mails.
This was after the system initially screened out qualified resumes.
Before screening, there were likely over ten thousand.
In the evening, Murong Hai also noticed the email volume.
Facing such a huge number was immediately overwhelming for Murong Hai.
Recalling previous assignments for Xu Ke, he was unwilling to deal with these emails.
