Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Being an Elder Indeed Has Its Benefits

Yin Yiming scratched his head, "I’ve thought about it, boss. You managed to balance both studies and business, going for business talks after classes, and I can do that too."

"Do you want to work part-time at our new company?" Lu Youxi asked again.

"Not really." Yin Yiming thought for a moment and said, "Boss, let me be frank with you. I want to work with you to carve a better future for myself."

Lu Youxi was stunned. What had she done that made people think there was a promising future working with her?

"Yin Yiming," Lu Youxi said, "you’re a high-potential student from Jing University. After you graduate, you can completely go to big companies, those famous, large-scale foreign enterprises, or our domestic big companies. Although I can’t boast that you can choose any, at least with a Jing University degree, you stand a great chance in interviewing with these companies."

"You see, my company is just starting." Lu Youxi said earnestly, "Joining our company would be beneath your talents."

"Graduation is still a thing of the future; I haven’t even graduated yet," Yin Yiming said. "Just like the seniors you recruited for the Little Pink Book while they were still in their third year, they hadn’t graduated either, right?"

"But the Little Pink Book is different from Hexing Rice. Little Pink Book is already on the right track, clearly set for big development as anyone can see. As for Hexing Rice," she was honest, "we all know the rice is good, but what it can develop into, I can’t guarantee."

"Boss, actually, I have a little selfish motive too," Yin Yiming said sheepishly. "If I join now and Hexing Rice grows big, won’t I become one of the founding members of our company?"

"By then, I’ll surely be one of the executives, right?" Yin Yiming continued, "After graduating, I don’t want to go to a small company, as I am from Jing University. But in a big company, I would have to start from scratch, and honestly speaking, even by the time I’m in my thirties or forties, I’m not sure I could make it to an executive position. Being at a mid-level would mean I’m extremely capable."

"To be honest, I was also motivated by Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan. When they started with Little Pink Book, they started from nothing too, right? Back then, neither of them knew Little Pink Book would reach the level it has today," Yin Yiming explained.

"So, boss, I want to take a gamble. I believe you are capable and generous to your people, so following you, I wouldn’t be at a loss," Yin Yiming declared. "I’m also a student of economics, but I’m still just a student and not in a position to demand what kind of work I want to do. You can assign me any task you see fit, and I’ll certainly show you what I’m capable of."

Lu Youxi thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to work with me like that, no problem, I’d definitely welcome you."

After all, he is a student from Jing University.

Plus, if Yin Yiming decides to stay on after graduation, that would be her gain.

Lu Youxi was no pushover.

So, Lu Youxi said, "Just to be clear, if you come work at Hexing Rice, it can’t be under the same conditions as a work-study program. You will be a formal employee of Hexing Rice, and I won’t schedule work around your class timetable."

"You just mentioned Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi. Initially, to develop Little Pink Book, Pei Jingyuan practically lived in internet cafes 24/7. Later, when Little Pink Book got its own office, he was there around the clock."

"When developing Little Pink Book, he hardly went to school, and the only salary he got was of a network manager. Both he and Ji Deyi powered Little Pink Book purely out of passion. Even now, Ji Deyi spends every non-class moment at the company. After his classes end, he goes to the office to make up for the work hours he missed while at school."

"If there’s a need to go to Chengzhou for business talks, Chengzhou won’t care whether you have classes. Their schedule is packed; once an appointment is scheduled, you need to be there. If you aren’t available, then you’ll have to wait until Chengzhou is free again. But waiting could mean a long delay and may cause significant setbacks."

"That’s why Ji Deyi always took leave from school," Lu Youxi explained. "When you work at Hexing Rice, you’ll need to manage your own time between work and study; I won’t accommodate your class timetable anymore."

"We have a time clock system at the company. You clock in, and your base salary is calculated according to the hours you work. You’ll also get a commission based on the business deals you close. It’s an eight-hour workday, and if you work less, your salary will be docked based on the missing hours," Lu Youxi detailed. "Negotiating deals often involves travelling which might conflict with your classes. Can you handle this?"

Yin Yiming, with a determined look, stated firmly, "I can."

"Ji Deyi is just a freshman, and he can manage his time; so can I. To carve a good future for myself, I must be prepared to make sacrifices," Yin Yiming thought clearly. In the worst case, if Hexing Rice doesn’t work out, at least he would have gained some work experience.

It would not be a loss either way.

"Okay," Lu Youxi nodded. "Then I’ll prepare the contract, and you can check it. If there’s no issue, we can sign."

"Great," Yin Yiming thought to himself that working here didn’t count, this was actually his first time formally working with Lu Youxi.

Working with Lu Youxi was quite different; she would explain everything clearly to you, covering both the pros and cons.

Once he had decided, working with her was strictly professional.

Such an attitude from Lu Youxi honestly made Yin Yiming feel very reassured.

"I’ll get the contract to you the day after tomorrow at the latest," Lu Youxi stated, "hopefully, we can finalize everything before going to the Yuehaolai dinner. I could also get your business cards ready by then. You’d join us for the talks to gain some experience, and I could see how capable you are."

"Great!" Yin Yiming nodded excitedly.

He hadn’t expected Lu Youxi to even think of business cards for him.

"I’ll start you off as a Sales Director," Lu Youxi added.

Yin Yiming: "!!!"

Indeed, being one of the early members had its benefits.

Regardless of the company’s current state, at least he started as a Sales Director.

Remembering the business cards, Lu Youxi thought of something important, "Uncle Village Chief, uh, I should call him President Fang now."

The village chief still wasn’t used to the new title and waved his hands, "Just call me village chief."

"That won’t do," Lu Youxi insisted. "Since we are going into business talks, we must use the official titles from our company. We can’t keep calling you village chief outside; otherwise, when negotiating with supermarkets, if we all refer to you as village chief, those big bosses won’t take you seriously, and it would be hard to negotiate."

"Right, right, Youxi’s point is correct," Grandma Xu remarked. "These business people are very good at judging others based on appearance."
