Chapter 515: 499 Selection Competition (1)

Let’s set aside Qian Yezhou’s matter for now; Yan Yueqing started getting busy with the selection process for tomorrow.

The staff reduction situation at Xingyue wasn’t as severe as Zhongxing’s.

After all, the former involved layoffs, while the latter was mostly about people leaving out of guilt after drug tests, which had a completely different significance.

When Ouyang Long walked in, Yan Yueqing was looking at resumes.

He sat down obediently across from President Yue, "The list has just been compiled not long ago, and the number of applicants is much more than I imagined."

Yan Yueqing didn’t lift her head, "How many people did you imagine there would be?"

"Maybe just a few?" Ouyang Long said with a smile, telling the truth, "The company has just gone through significant layoffs, and the new recruitment ads are standard; there’s a lot of discussion online."

Yan Yueqing, still focusing on a page of data, asked, "We’ll leave the online comments aside for the moment, but what do you think about it, Old Ou?"

"Me?" Ouyang Long hadn’t expected President Yue to ask his opinion, he pondered for a moment, "I think the recruitment ads were very well put out."

"Don’t you think, compared to Zhongxing, the salary we offer is much lower?"

Ouyang Long replied naively, "You have to follow the rules wherever you are, right? Everyone knows what the average salary line is in Chunyue City. No matter what the netizens say, they can’t cover up the fact that the recruitment salary is 20% higher than the average salary! This time, most of the applicants are locals from Chunyue City, and everyone is very optimistic about the company."

On this point, he had a very correct attitude.

You do what you can with what you have!

You earn the salary that matches your abilities!

Zhongxing’s success is not replicable, and there’s no need to compare everything to them.

Yan Yueqing nodded her head, "You understand this principle, the company employees understand it, and those who send resumes wanting to join the company understand it as well."

"So there’s really no need for us to pay attention to the direction of the online wind. Those who work in media know to keep the discourse power in their own hands, let alone such a big company."

Yan Yueqing raised her eyelashes, giving him a glance, "Does President Ou feel any regrets inside?"

"Regrets?"

"Yes, thinking that Xingyue is far behind Zhongxing, believing that Xingyue will never reach the standards of Zhongxing?"

Ouyang Long thought hard before replying, "Currently, Xingyue can’t compare to Zhongxing, but... it has something... a future to look forward to."

Yan Yueqing smiled, "A future to look forward to... "

Sure enough, he was a person who had been immersed in the business world for many years, his words were watertight.

She explained, "We set the salary at an upper-middle range, which actually meant adding just an extra one or two hundred yuan to each person’s base salary compared to what it was before. Many people might feel discontent internally, just like the online Spewers, thinking I am stingy."

"President Yue is definitely not stingy! It might seem like only two hundred yuan per person, but when you calculate it for a hundred or so people, it adds up to a significant expense every month."

Yan Yueqing did not care about the money, "I originally wanted to follow Zhongxing’s approach, adding 30% to the base salary and 10% to the performance bonuses for the remaining staff. But then I thought that the situation here was different. Zhongxing was in a very dangerous position and retained a group of people whose abilities showed during the toughest times, making me feel it would be embarrassing not to give them a raise.

At Xingyue, to put it frankly, everyone is doing their job decently, not standing out nor making mistakes. Each person is doing their own job at their post, occasionally helping out another department if their relationships are good... President Ou, do you hear any problem with that?"

Ouyang Long humbly sought advice, "I don’t quite understand."

"Simply put, this company lacks even a hint of vitality, like stagnant water with no life in it."
