Chapter 329: Chapter 329: It’s Me Who Should Thank You_1

"Really? Tell me about it," Shen Dong was somewhat surprised and gestured for the HR manager to sit down and speak.

He knew Fang Jingwei was very passionate about the food and beverage industry, willing to work hard, and had been a waitress in a restaurant for some time, so she should be quite good.

Seeing how excited the HR manager was, Fang Jingwei’s excellence must have exceeded his expectations.

Chen Yuanxiang was equally curious. To see the HR manager this excited, he wondered just what kind of talent Fang Jingwei really was.

After all, he had never seen the HR manager so excited before.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Chen, firstly, it is Fang Jingwei’s passion for the food and beverage industry,"

"From my conversation with her, I could tell that her passion for the food and beverage industry comes from deep within. When she talks about anything related to dining, her eyes light up."

"Secondly, she has a very deep understanding of the food and beverage industry and has her own unique judgment about its future."

"She said that in the future, as the economic development level continues to improve and people’s lives get better, eating will no longer just be about filling the stomach. It will be more about satisfying taste cravings and fulfilling physical and emotional needs."

"The future of the food and beverage industry will inevitably involve providing differentiated food and services customized to customers’ tastes."

"She also said a lot more, and I found her points very innovative and seemingly predicting how the future will unfold."

"Furthermore, she made several very feasible suggestions for our Shuidilao, saying that our Shuidilao stores could add some personalized services, such as... "

The HR manager said a lot, very excitedly.

As a recruiter, bringing talent to the company and aiding in its development is her achievement.

Discovering a talent like Fang Jingwei made her very happy and excited.

Even though Shen Dong introduced this talent, she was the one who conducted the interview.

She felt very honored.

She believed that having Fang Jingwei join Shuidilao was truly Shuidilao’s good fortune.

Should Fang Jingwei reach a core management position in the future, she would definitely make a significant contribution to Shuidilao’s growth.

Having finished speaking, the HR manager then said, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Chen, I think you should talk to her personally and listen to her ideas. I believe you will be as excited as I am."

Shen Dong and Chen Yuanxiang exchanged glances. Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "Fang Jingwei is indeed talented, beyond what I imagined. Mr. Chen and I will not discuss with her for now. We shouldn’t put too much pressure on her at this moment. Let’s first see how she does after joining the company. She is still young and doesn’t yet understand the internal management of Shuidilao. She will need time if she is to handle responsibilities on her own. Just tell me, what job is she suited for?"

"That’s a good idea," thought the HR manager, agreeing that Shen Dong’s approach made sense. It would allow Fang Jingwei to settle in and fully understand Shuidilao’s operations before being promoted to a related position. "In terms of her job, I suggest letting her work as a waitress in the store for half a year to thoroughly comprehend the store’s operations. Then she could return to the headquarters to take on an operations management role, starting from the most fundamental operations management position. What management role she moves to in the future will be up to you and Mr. Chen."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "That is a good plan. Let’s do that. If she really grows, I might even consider handing over the management of Shuidilao to her. So, within the company, she must handle everything well. If she decides to resign, you must tell me, understand?"

He was worried that Fang Jingwei might have a reason to leave without informing him and would just resign and go, so he made it clear with the HR manager to avoid any surprises.

Such talent must be retained at Shuidilao.

Otherwise, it would be Shuidilao’s loss.

If Fang Jingwei were to join another food and beverage company, she would become a formidable rival.

Of course, given his relationship with Fang Jingwei, it was unlikely she would do such a thing.

But it was important to be preemptive.

After all, in the business world, some companies are willing to go to great lengths to poach talent.

"Mr. Shen, I understand," the HR manager was greatly moved.

She was optimistic about Fang Jingwei, believing that as long as nothing went wrong, Fang Jingwei would surely reach a high-level management position.

She had not anticipated that Shen Dong would consider letting Fang Jingwei manage Shuidilao.

It seemed that Shen Dong had plans in mind all along.

He had a comparatively deep understanding of Fang Jingwei and intended to utilize her effectively from the beginning.

The conversation was over.

Shen Dong went to the meeting room with the HR manager.

The HR manager told Fang Jingwei to first work as a service staff in the store for six months, after which an assessment would be conducted before deciding on a position transfer.

This was what Shen Dong had told her on the way over.

To entrust Fang Jingwei with a heavy responsibility, they had to be even more stringent.

Working as a service staff in the store for six months and passing an assessment was necessary before being transferred back to headquarters to take on operational management.

As for the assessment, Shen Dong and Chen Yuanxiang would conduct it personally when the time came.

Naturally, the HR manager had no objections to this and felt it was necessary.

Fang Jingwei, having heard what the HR manager said, also had no objections.

She believed that within half a year, she would be able to understand the ins and outs of the store’s operations clearly.

Afterwards, the HR manager asked Fang Jingwei to come in the next morning to handle the onboarding process, and after completing it, to start working in the store.

As for the choice of store, it was left to Fang Jingwei to decide.

Fang Jingwei, living in a rather remote area, mentioned that finding a house and moving would take some time, so she chose a Shuidilao store near her residence.

Once everything was settled, the HR manager left.

Taking Fang Jingwei out of the company.

"Mr. Shen, thank you," Fang Jingwei said with gratitude as they stepped out of the company’s entrance.

She knew that if it were not for Shen Dong, she wouldn’t even have had the opportunity to interview at Shuidilao, let alone work there.

She finally joined Shuidilao, a company she had long admired.

She was truly overjoyed and profoundly grateful to Shen Dong.

"Don’t mention it, I should be the one thanking you," Shen Dong replied with a smile.

"Thanking me? For what?" Fang Jingwei was puzzled and even a bit bewildered.

"It’s nothing. You’ll understand in time," Shen Dong did not elaborate.

Having someone like Fang Jingwei join Shuidilao was something Shen Dong was naturally thankful for.

If Fang Jingwei had gone to another catering company and been discovered by another company’s boss, it would have been a great loss for Shuidilao.

Besides, Shen Dong had effectively found a successor for his father-in-law.

As long as Fang Jingwei grew in her role, his father-in-law could even consider retiring early to enjoy life.

That would be a good thing for his father-in-law.

Although his father-in-law was still young and energetic,

he wasn’t as vigorous as the younger generation.

Being a general manager also required a lot of energy.

In a few more years, his physical and mental stamina would likely decline further.

It would be better to have a more leisurely position.

Of course, if the father-in-law wanted to keep working at that time, he would have no objection.

They could first let Fang Jingwei serve as a deputy general manager, assisting the father-in-law.

When the father-in-law was completely unwilling to continue, Fang Jingwei could take over.

This approach wouldn’t disrupt anything.
