Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Modern Zhou Bapi

"It makes sense," Pei Jingyuan nodded. "Old Ji is just a freshman and he’s managing fairly well, let alone the upperclassmen. This stuff really depends on practice, and collaborating with Chengzhou can also be quite educational, not necessarily less than what they would learn by continuing further education at Jing University."

"Yeah, what Ji Deyi just mentioned is indeed our weak point," Lu Youxi said. "But we have our strengths too."

"We are collaborating with Chengzhou, and it’s not just a simple investment where they throw money at us and ignore us. Our technical department directly interfaces with the R&D department of Chengzhou, working together. Every one of Chengzhou’s R&D staff is a doctoral holder. The competition to get into Chengzhou is fierce. It’s not just Jing University alone competing; it’s top talent from across the country."

"So what about those who can’t get into Chengzhou? Coming to our company is a good choice," Lu Youxi continued. "They can find internship jobs and learn from the talents of Chengzhou. How great is that?"

"As for rewards, whether they plan to continue their studies or use the experience at our company to move to another company after they graduate, it’s all fine. And this job experience will provide a significant advantage for their future job search after graduation."

Ji Deyi: "...Boss, you really see the big picture. They work here for a while and then they leave, treating our place as a stepping stone, and you have no problem with that?"

"No problem," said Lu Youxi. "These third-year students, after their spring recruitment, work here and by the time they graduate in their fourth year, that’s at least a year and a half, right? In this year and a half, they can do a lot for us."

"And, with the low pressure of intern salaries, we can still afford students from Jing University. We’re not losing out," Lu Youxi mentioned. "Moreover, our company can’t always be of the same scale, right? Give it a year or two, I believe our company will definitely make a name for itself."

"Besides, with in-depth collaboration with Chengzhou and their support, if we can’t grow and expand during this time, I’d start questioning Chengzhou’s judgment," Lu Youxi said with a grin. "Even if we don’t have confidence in ourselves, we should have confidence in Chengzhou’s investment insight."

Lu Youxi was just casually trying to boost Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi’s confidence.

Lu Youxi was really confident about their Little Pink Book.

Who knew Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi would nod seriously, "That makes a lot of sense."

Lu Youxi: "...You guys should have some faith in our company too."

"I do have faith," said Ji Deyi hurriedly. "But Chengzhou’s positive outlook gives me even more confidence."

"Indeed. I had forgotten about that," Pei Jingyuan chimed in. "You reminded me how highly Chengzhou thinks of us."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Fine," Lu Youxi could only comfort herself that the process wasn’t important, what mattered was the result, and that both were now full of confidence in Little Pink Book, "In any case, when our Little Pink Book becomes well-established, will we still worry about not being able to retain talent or recruit stronger ones?"

"By that time, the third-year students we’re hiring now might be crying and begging to stay, and we might not even be keen to keep them," Lu Youxi mentioned.

Ji Deyi: "..."

Pei Jingyuan: "..."

"And, by hiring third-year students, even though they are two grades above you guys, they are still undergrads and should take instructions well. If they don’t listen, let them develop software on their own," Lu Youxi pointed out. "Hiring third-year students avoids the issue of them not taking orders you guys were worried about."

"They’ve learned what they need as third-year students, they accept low intern wages and take instructions well," Pei Jingyuan calculated, "Boss, no wonder you’re the boss."

Not to call her a modern-day Zhou Bapi, but it was pretty close.

Lu Youxi: "...Watch your words."

Pei Jingyuan felt that Lu Youxi would definitely become a big capitalist!

Ji Deyi, having been reminded, brightened up and mentioned, "Then in that case, we can keep hiring third-year students in the future, right?"

Lu Youxi: "...Don’t go overboard. We’re only doing this now because we can’t compete with bigger companies, and I’m worried that talents won’t take you two seriously, so we have to recruit like this. Once our company grows, we still need to bring in quality talent seriously. We can’t always be taking advantage of students."

Pei Jingyuan saw Ji Deyi in a new light, "I couldn’t tell, but you’re actually the modern Zhou Bapi!"

Ji Deyi: "What are you talking about? I was just saying."

Lu Youxi: "...What do you mean ’actually’? Did you initially think I was a modern Zhou Bapi?"

Pei Jingyuan: "..."

The boss is too clever; it’s really stressful. Just adding the word "actually" revealed his thoughts.

It’s too hard.

"I’ll go list some positions we need to fill," Lu Youxi said. "But you two need to specify the qualifications for the tech staff since they’ll be working under you and need to be a good fit."

"How many people can we recruit?" Pei Jingyuan asked eagerly.

"How many do you two need?" Lu Youxi inquired.

Happiness came so suddenly that Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi, like the newly rich, didn’t know how to allocate at first.

After discussing, Pei Jingyuan held up four fingers, "Let’s take four."

Seeing Lu Youxi’s expressionless face, Pei Jingyuan thought they had asked for too many and quickly said, "Two would also work."

Lu Youxi: "...Is the difference between two and four not a bit too much?"

"Let’s do this. I’ll give you three tech guys and one more assistant. This assistant can handle the miscellaneous daily tasks, liaison with Chengzhou, and data sorting, etc., so you two don’t have to do everything yourselves," Lu Youxi advised. "Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough!" Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi nodded in unison.

"I also need to find an assistant for myself," Lu Youxi stated.

She was too busy now, barely managing the internet cafe.

Besides the Little Pink Book, a restaurant was also about to open.

Once the restaurant was on track, she could let go.

But at the moment, there was just too much to handle alone.

For instance, this recruitment, if there was an assistant to organize things, it would have been much easier.

Lu Youxi sighed, ultimately finding herself resigned to doing it.

Before the spring recruitment fair, the restaurant also opened smoothly.

Grandma Xu was a wise person; she was only limited by living in Hexing Village with its small environment.

Now in Imperial Capital, Grandma Xu would get to see and understand more places before the restaurant opened, accompanied by Xu Jingmin.
