Chapter 416: 402 Baffled and Confused, I Got the Job (2)

Manager Jiang explained, "The live streaming industry is arranged according to the anchors’ and brands’ schedules, so a standard nine-to-five job is definitely not possible. However, a seven-hour workday plus a two-hour break is set, but this schedule is very flexible, as there’s no need to punch the clock at a fixed time."

"Our boss is quite an excellent businessman. As long as you can provide the corresponding value within the specified time, the rest of the time is yours to manage. For example, our anchors typically start working in the afternoon until ten at night, only finishing work after the prime live streaming period... Since you’re applying for an assistant position, your hours will almost align with theirs.

"Besides the designated live streaming hours, as long as you complete your tasks, there’s no need to strictly adhere to a seven-hour workday. If you’re able to compress a workload of more than ten days into just a few days for a faraway outdoor live broadcast, as long as your capabilities allow, then it’s OK to take the rest of the time off as leisure or rest. Moreover, if it gets hectic and we need to add orders or extra broadcasts, any work beyond the regular hours will be paid at triple the rate."

Niu Mingfei was thrilled as he continued to inquire, "What about... the commission for copywriting and planning..."

Manager Jiang said, "Generally speaking, live streaming teams have specialized copywriters and planners, but we also encourage brainstorming and diverse development strategies. For any project, everyone has the right to make suggestions.

"Even though you’re applying for an assistant role, if you have special talent in copywriting, then you will be rewarded with a commission for every piece of your copywriting that is adopted. It’s typically around 1% to 5%, and there’s no cap if it’s particularly good."

Niu Mingfei was inwardly exclaiming in amazement!

Wow!

Back when he was an assistant, not only did he have to exhaust himself carrying equipment and setting up devices, but he also had to prepare all the scripts and copy for the anchor. When it came time for the anchor to stream, he did everything but appear on camera—prompting, managing the flow, timing, managing the racks... he essentially did it all!

Back then, under the PUA of the company’s leaders, Niu Mingfei even felt like all these tasks were his responsibility.

But now...

Zhongxing had clearly set out the job requirements.

What an assistant should do, what the copywriting team should do—all clearly defined!

If an assistant was able to provide new ideas for the copywriting, no problem, they’d be paid!

This wasn’t pie in the sky! It was like stuffing the pie directly into your mouth, right?

Niu Mingfei was deeply shocked. After graduating, he had been to many companies... No matter the size, each boss was more exploitative than the last, offering you a salary of two thousand for a workload of ten thousand, all the while expecting you to have a twenty-thousand-worth breadth of vision and dedication.

Zhongxing was actually going against the grain?!

He was like a little fish, left to dry out under the sun, having almost given up in a world like this, suddenly showered in a downpour from Zhongxing’s sprinkler system!

"As for the makeup of the basic salary..." He thought of something, "It’s not like there will be deductions left and right when it’s time to pay the wages, right?"

"How could that be?" Manager Jiang laughed, "As long as you work the hours and don’t make serious mistakes that affect the profitability of the project, your basic salary is paid in full! Any slip-ups in work will result in a deduction from your performance pay, but not from your basic salary. Of course, the company isn’t a charity; if there are frequent mistakes or the basic requirements of the job cannot be met, we will definitely consider termination."

"I understand that," Niu Mingfei nodded, still somewhat in disbelief, "And the list of benefits... does it include all subsidies and benefits?"

"Of course not," Manager Jiang waved his hand, "Those are just the perks during the probation period. The internship for a live broadcast assistant is one month; you get the same wages and benefits and triple pay during holidays... but no social security! After a month when you become a regular employee, we’ll retroactively cover your social security from the internship and you’ll enjoy normal benefits like marriage leave, annual leave, and so on..."

Niu Mingfei was no longer just surprised!

What’s the saying?!

A wild boar can’t appreciate fine bran!

He was like a wild boar that had been free-range for too long, suddenly presented with a bowl of fine bran and feeling at a loss on how to eat it.

Manager Jiang said, "Mr. Niu, you know that Zhongxing is currently in need of people. If it’s convenient, I hope you can give me an answer today. If Zhongxing’s terms aren’t quite satisfactory to you, I need to continue recruiting, don’t I?"

Niu Mingfei’s eyes widened.

You must be joking!

Unsatisfied with these terms?!

He almost nodded instantaneously, "Satisfied, very satisfied! When can I start?"

"We can do that today," Manager Jiang said with a smile, "It’s almost five now, I’ll have Xiao Zhou take you to go through the onboarding process."

"Great, great, great!"

Manager Jiang picked up the desk phone and dialed a number: "Xiao Zhou, come here and take our new colleague to go through the onboarding process."

Soon, a girl with a round face walked in, enthusiastically greeting, "Manager Jiang."

"This is Niu Mingfei, take him to get his employee card sorted first and then to meet the streamers."

"Sure!" Xiao Zhou was an entire head shorter than Niu Mingfei, her plump ponytail bouncing cheerily behind her head, making her look very spirited.

The onboarding process was done quickly. After Xiao Zhou had finished dealing with his information, she entrusted it to someone to take to HR, and then took him to get his employee card.

For some reason, getting the employee card made took longer than completing the onboarding paperwork.

Seeing him looking puzzled but hesitant to ask, Xiao Zhou giggled: "The employee card is a very important thing in our company. You need it to swipe through elevators, rent equipment, and such. Of course, that’s not the most important thing—"

She deliberately left a suspenseful pause.

As expected, it hooked Niu Mingfei’s interest: "What’s the most important?"

"It’s for eating on the seventh floor!" Xiao Zhou laughed, "Our cafeteria has really delicious food! It’s almost time to get off work, so after I take you to meet the streamers, I’ll take you to the cafeteria for dinner~~"

"Oh, oh."

As the last fingerprint was recorded, the employee card was also finished, Xiao Zhou handed it to him: "We don’t have time for your photo today, I’ll take you to take the picture for the card tomorrow morning."

Niu Mingguang received it.

A neat card with his name, department, position, employee number...

Only the photo area was left blank.

Xiao Zhou then took him to meet the streamer Gusu Yu.

"Sister Xiao Yu, your new assistant has arrived."

Gusu Yu was a streamer who had just signed with Zhongxing last year, with a pretty appearance.

In a company with many big stars, her looks wouldn’t stand out!

After all, if someone was stunningly beautiful, they would surely be chosen to become an artist, who would then become a streamer?

Among the streamers, her performance could only be considered above average, but after the recent drug test, several popular streamers had been fired! With others clamoring to leave, only she and a few others stayed.

Luckily... they encountered Zhongxing’s big windfall!

As they were short-handed, many previously unattainable resources were all distributed to them.

Gusu Yu was swamped with work, and after being busy all day, she finally got a chance to catch her breath.

Seeing the new assistant, she jokingly said with a smile, "Not easy to get a new assistant! Old Mu and the others can finally take a breather."

Speaking, she also called Old Mu and a few others over.

After greeting them, Niu Mingguang also unmasked for the first time in front of everyone.

"Wow, our new assistant is so handsome! Have you ever considered becoming a streamer?"

"Don’t worry, we’re all quite approachable, ask us anything if you have questions..."
