Chapter 417 - 208: Secretary Interview
Chapter 417: Chapter 208: Secretary Interview
"Besides, I already have shares in Shennan. Helping you is helping myself, so it never hurts to be thorough."
"So, who do you think should pass this time?"
Lin Shen discussed it with Qin Yuenan, and in the end, they selected 15 candidates to pass from the long list of 23.
The positions were split evenly between the operations and marketing departments, and also included one secretary.
With that, Lin Shen successfully completed his Direct Hire task.
[Direct Hire:]
[Upgrade Task: Poach employees from other companies with high salaries and retain them with high benefits (14/10, Complete)]
[Direct Hire Lvl. 3 → Lvl. 4]
[Decryption Effect: You will now receive a 40% → 45% cashback on the base salary of employees you hire.]
[Reward: Random Employee Benefit x1]
[Upgrade Task: Increase the total number of company employees to over 50 through recruitment (38/50)]
Lin Shen found a moment to check his phone and tapped open the random employee benefit.
[Employee Benefit: Office Equipment (The cost of office computers for 50 employees will be reimbursed by the "Direct Hire" app, with a limit of 15,000 yuan per computer.)]
’Reimbursing the cost of computers, huh...’
Lin Shen silently contemplated his upcoming recruitment plans.
Fall recruitment season was approaching, which was a good opportunity to bring in a large batch of talented graduates through campus recruiting.
But for that, he’d have to rely on resume screening to help. If he tried to look through them all by himself, his eyes would probably glaze over before he could pick anyone.
"I’m heading out then."
After gathering her documents, Qin Yuenan stood up. As she did, something seemed to occur to her, and she turned to ask Lin Shen a question.
"Are you free tonight?"
"I am."
Lin Shen grinned mischievously.
"What’s this? Nan, are you inviting me over to your place tonight?"
"Stop teasing!"
Qin Yuenan, flustered, lightly tapped him on the shoulder, but then the corners of her mouth curved up.
"I’m meeting with Zhao Jianing. She was really excited when she heard you wanted to buy a Ferrari and specially arranged a meeting with the general distributor for the Modu region. Want to have dinner with us?"
"Sounds great!"
Lin Shen’s eyes lit up, a thrill of excitement bubbling up inside him.
There weren’t many things he was passionate about, but cars were one of them.
A sports car is the childhood dream of countless little boys, and Lin Shen was no exception.
The roar of the engine, the speed on the track.
’What guy could possibly refuse that kind of temptation?’
It was just that Lin Shen was lucky enough to be in a position to realize this lifelong dream, thanks to the system’s help.
"When?"
Seeing Lin Shen’s eager expression, a warmth spread through Qin Yuenan’s heart, and her smile widened a little more.
"Let’s say 7:00. You can pick me up at 6:30, and we’ll go together."
"Okay."
Lin Shen squeezed Qin Yuenan’s hand, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Thanks."
"If you really want to thank me..."
Qin Yuenan bit her lip, then suddenly leaned down and murmured softly in Lin Shen’s ear.
"You should probably think about how you’re going to turn in your homework tonight."
?
Lin Shen froze for a moment, watching as Qin Yuenan fled the office. Then, he shook his head with a helpless laugh.
’Was it just my imagination, or was Nan getting more and more into this sort of thing?’
’Could this be what they call "getting a taste for it"?’
After a quick lunch, Lin Shen spent the afternoon driving around to his three stores, making the rounds like a lion surveying its territory.
Business at the XH District branch of Shennan Pet Society was as booming as ever.
Qi Hao’s team had been working together for a long time, so they handled the rush with ease.
After Lin Shen entered the store, quite a few customers still recognized him and eagerly asked for photos.
Of course, many people were also there to redeem their rewards from the promotional event.
One like for 0.1 yuan—that was a much better incentive than Douyin’s own creator fund!
So, everyone was happy to help take photos and promote the store, which in turn attracted wave after wave of new customers.
Naturally, Lin Shen wasn’t stingy. With a wave of his hand, he paid out all the rewards in full as promised. This extravagant gesture earned him a great deal of goodwill from everyone.
’Look at his determination as an entrepreneur!’
’Other stores drag their feet when giving out prizes, but this guy transfers the money on the spot!’
’Now that’s a real second-generation heir!’
[Entrepreneurial intent detected in Host. Now extracting 32,000 yuan for marketing expenses. Current Balance: 25,000,000 yuan]
Lin Shen actually wanted to give out more money, but unfortunately, the promotional reach of regular people was a bit lacking.
All those people combined had barely managed to scrape together 320,000 likes.
It was even less than the number of likes on a single video from Su Youji.
When he saw that the Douyin video she filmed at Shennan Pet Society had surpassed 500,000 likes, Lin Shen immediately sent her a private message on WeChat.
[Lin Shen: Money Transfer 52,000 (Note: Shennan Pet Society new store opening event reward)]
[Lin Shen: Remember to accept it. Thanks.]
[Su Youji: You’re welcome! Thanks for everything recently. I got a membership at your store, so I’ll be visiting often!]
[Su Youji: meow_looking_forward.jpg]
Seeing Su Youji’s reply, Lin Shen smiled knowingly.
Her way of speaking really did have that Neon flavor, and even her stickers were downloaded from LINE.
’An interesting girl.’
Lin Shen smiled to himself. Just as he was thinking about leaving for the next store, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure inside and the corners of his mouth curved up.
’Is that him?’
---
Shen Mingchuan parked his car nearby and walked into Shennan Pet Society. The moment he saw the endless stream of customers inside, he froze completely.
’Holy crap!’
’Business is this good?’
After the initial shock, Shen Mingchuan found it hard to believe, a deep sense of confusion welling up inside him.
When he was running his Cat Cafe, the daily customer traffic was less than a hundred. From the looks of it, Shennan Pet Society was getting more customers in a single hour than he got all day!
