Chapter 413: Why didn’t I go to Zhongxing? (1)

Staff changes have always been the most headache-inducing part for human resources.

Even they don’t want to actively recruit anymore, which shows how substantial the benefits are this time.

Director Tang gestured a number, "Do you know? Just a cleaning lady, the kind with a salary of 3,000 a month, got paid 12,000 last month! Not to mention other employees! With such great benefits, even if the work is tiring, everyone only wishes they had more hands to get work done, instead of complaining about the company, right?"

Yan Yueqing laughed upon hearing this, "So that’s why everyone seemed so busy today, it turns out that’s the reason... However, the company still needs to recruit normally. My few small companies in City C have already started operating, and this year there will definitely be a lot of collaborative projects with Zhongxing. If we’re short-staffed, a lot of work won’t get done."

"Okay, okay, okay." Director Tang nodded, "I’ll have human resources recruit as soon as possible."

"What about the salary requirements? How are they determined by human resources?"

"There’s a chart, I’ll show it to you."

Although Director Tang is a director, he’s also the person with the second most say in Zhongxing now. It’s impossible for everyone to trouble Boss Jiang with everything, so naturally, they come to him to discuss matters.

Yan Yueqing took the chart, pondered for a moment, and then with a pen made many changes: "Let’s go by this standard."

Director Tang looked at the string of figures and couldn’t help but take a deep breath, "Yueqing... the amount you’re giving... isn’t it too much?"

"What, have you become so used to being a capitalist that you can’t stand normal wages anymore?"

Director Tang felt a bit of pain, "I’m just trying to save money for the company, right?"

"The company’s money isn’t something you can save by exploiting a few employees. Just like you said, when the money is right, the surprises everyone can offer you are much more than what you’d get by forcing them to work!"

Yan Yueqing was very generous.

Just the extra billions that had been paid out last time were enough to pay the entire company’s staff for a lifetime.

There was really no need to nickle and dime over several thousand yuan!

"Zhongxing survived the drug test ordeal, and now we must face suppression from our peers. Projects can be negotiated by the executives, but to complete these missions, the most important element is departmental talent..." Yan Yueqing stated seriously, "In this regard, we need to spend more effort and money."

Her words were spoken with great decisiveness.

Director Tang once again felt the ambition she had when she acquired Zhongxing!

Alright, alright, alright!

The boss is going to make a move! How could he, as her subordinate, hold back the boss?!

Director Tang carefully folded the chart, "I’ll call human resources and have them post the job advertisement according to this standard! Also, I’ll post about it on Weibo! I’ll ask everyone to help spread the word around."

"That sounds good."

After finishing this discussion, Director Tang said, "By the way Yueqing, I asked you to come today because there’s another matter." He reached for his tablet on the table, "The video you requested has been filmed."

"Oh? That was fast?" Yan Yueqing took it with joy and pressed the play button.

In the dim light, a little girl with a large basket on her back was tirelessly digging crops in the earth.

The camera moved closer and the dirt in her fingernails was clearly visible.

A pair of hands that should be tender and young was described with words like aged and wrinkled!

After the close-up of the fingers, the next moment, the light brightened, and the same pair of hands played on the piano keys, black and white.

With the aid of special effects, the wrinkled skin on the fingers gradually reverted to being white and tender.

The piano music was played briskly and with strength, and anyone listening would believe—the little girl in the shot had a tremendous talent for playing the piano.

The next moment, the screen went dark, and the girl in the princess dress turned around and was back in the dim cellar.

This stark contrast was truly heart-wrenching.

If it were the first time for viewers, they might wonder—what is the director trying to tell us with this short film?

A princess fallen into mire?

Or that even in darkness, one should maintain a positive attitude?

The end of the film provided the answer.

In an exquisitely beautiful cradle, a baby with the appearance of a little angel slept soundly.

Beneath her delicate skin, the baby’s curly eyelashes seemed even cuter.

The very next second, a black hand, covered in mud and dirt, quietly whisked her away.

The film came to an abrupt end!

Yan Yueqing was astonished after watching it.

It had to be Director Tang!

No matter how tight the schedule, his attitude towards the quality of the films remained so steadfast!

"Director Tang, this video is made so well!" Yan Yueqing didn’t hide her liking, "It’s just like those promotional commercials!"

Director Tang chuckled, "It was a bit of a coincidence. I’ve shot similar scenarios before and still had a lot of material I could use. The actors didn’t even need to show their faces; just some special effects makeup on their hands!"

Tang Tang joined in the conversation, "Aunt Yueqing, guess who played the little girl?"

"Is it someone from our company?" Yan Yueqing couldn’t guess, "Could it be... the new child star we signed?"

Zhongxing hadn’t previously branched into the child actor business, and if they had, it was after a thorough vetting.

Tang Tang shook her head and covered her mouth, snickering, "Dad, see~ I told you godmom wouldn’t recognize me!"

The little girl nestled in her embrace with sparkling eyes, "It’s me~"

"Ah?" Yan Yueqing hugged Tang Tang with delight, "Really? Tang Bao, you’re so amazing?"

"Mhm~ Dad said there wasn’t enough time to find a suitable child actor, so he let me give it a shot~ Besides, since my face wouldn’t show, there was no need to capture any facial expressions or movements~"

"Even if your face didn’t show, that’s still incredible~" Yan Yueqing touched Tang Tang’s little face, "Your posture sitting in the cellar was just like the real thing."

Hearing this, Tang Tang suddenly sighed.

"What’s wrong?"

Tang Tang felt upset, "Godmom, while filming, I just dug up a few sweet potatoes from the ground, and I was already so exhausted! Dad said that we were filming Sister Xiaoyu’s story... and when I heard that, I felt so, so sad... She must have had such a hard time before!"

The child’s vocabulary wasn’t rich; despite the effort, she could only come up with the word ’hard.’

But Yan Yueqing was still moved, "Yes, we all feel sorry for Xiaoyu... Now that we have the chance to help her escape her hardships, it’s truly a rare opportunity."

Tang Tang nodded, "In the future, I want to spend more time with Sister Xiaoyu, to give her all the tasty and fun things~"

"Okay~"

Watching the happy scene between Tang Tang and Yan Yueqing, Director Tang could not help but sigh internally.

He was busy with work and had little time to spend with his child.

Sending Tang Tang to the reality show was also because he was too busy during that period. Tang Tang was on summer vacation with nothing to do, so he arranged for people to keep her company.

As a result, after appearing on the show, the little tyke found herself a godmother. And now, with a godmother, she hardly even glanced at her old dad!

Alas...

Director Tang’s heart was a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

After the two finished their conversation, he finally had a chance to interject, "Yueqing, are you satisfied with the video? Should we finalize it like this?"

"Yes." Yan Yueqing straightened Tang Tang’s hair, "Director Tang, please send the original video to my email. I’ll have the Moon Project release it later."

Director Tang was taken aback, "Don’t you want to use Zhongxing’s official Weibo account?"

"No need, I’ve thought about it for a long time, it’s better if Xiaoyu’s matter isn’t too heavily linked with Zhongxing," Yan Yueqing explained. "Besides, the Moon Project itself is doing relevant charity work, so it’s just right for them to post it."

Director Tang probably guessed her thoughts and nodded, "Okay, I’ll send it to your email."

Yan Yueqing picked up Tang Tang, "Say goodbye to Dad, we’re going to godmom’s place to play with your brothers~"

Tang Tang’s smile was brilliant, "Bye-bye Dad~"

Director Tang: Choked with words but silent...

That afternoon, Zhongxing released a recruitment advertisement on their official Weibo account.
