Chapter 852: Chapter 473 Wow, Want to Poach My Student? (Subscribe Please)_2

But there was one concern.

Ding Yue had a worry.

That was, if he established Feiyue Construction Company, he would have to compete with Tianfu Construction Group in the southwestern region in the future.

And Tianfu Construction Group had a pretty good relationship with Mist City Arts and Science University.

At least before this, almost all of the projects, including the campus expansion and factory construction, were contracted by Tianfu Construction Group.

However, Ding Yue thought for a moment.

Business is business.

If Mist City Arts and Science University wanted to develop, and the School of Architecture wanted to progress, then establishing Feiyue Construction Company was inevitable.

"Hmm, Director Chen, this matter does indeed need some consideration. In another year or two, a large number of students from the School of Architecture will be looking for jobs after they leave school. If we establish Feiyue Construction, we can directly offer positions to our own students,"

Ding Yue mused.

"Yes, Principal Ding, just like the majority of students from the Mechanical Department, they can stay and work in the job posts within their preferred specialties. For college students and their majors, this is a very beneficial thing,"

Director Chen Ping immediately nodded in agreement.

In this day and age, many college graduates cannot find jobs that match their majors, and even if they do, the salary is probably not satisfying. In the end, they can only endure.

If one endures for too long, the salary might increase, but the zest for life will have long been lost.

This way, society as a whole lacks vigorous vitality.

If contemporary university students can find jobs that align with their majors, and they actually enjoy those majors as well, then working would be incredibly joyful.

"Director Chen, later on, do a survey among the students and see how many are willing to work at the construction company established by the school in the future,"

Ding Yue casually instructed.

"Of course, Principal Ding,"

Upon hearing this, Director Chen Ping immediately said, "Principal Ding, I guess the vast majority of students would be willing."

"Really?"

"Certainly. The company established by Principal Ding always offers great treatment and benefits, and this is something everyone can see,"

Director Chen Ping could tell from the situation within the other companies of the Feiyue Group.

Feiyue Technology, Feiyue eSports, Feiyue Media—each company treats the students who join from Mist City Arts and Science University very well in terms of remuneration and benefits.

"What can I say when our students are so excellent?"

Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

Ding Ling Ling!

Just as Ding Yue was discussing this matter with the Director of the Architecture Department Chen Ping.

Director Chen Ping’s cell phone rang.

"Excuse me, Principal Ding, may I take this call?" After taking out his cell phone, Director Chen Ping said to Principal Ding, "It’s coming from Tianfu Construction Group."

"Go ahead, take it here. There’s no need to step out,"

Ding Yue nodded.

Then Director Chen Ping answered the call: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, how are you?"

"Director Chen, I hear the inspection at Mist City Arts and Science University has ended. How did it go? Are you satisfied with the project done by Tianfu Construction Group?"

On the phone, a manager named Zhang Mingwu from Tianfu Construction Group asked with a laugh.

Zhang Mingwu took over as the manager in charge of the projects at Mist City Arts and Science University at the end of last year.

"The quality of Tianfu Construction Group is still trustworthy."

Director Chen Ping answered with a smile.

"Director Chen, here’s the thing. Seeing how smoothly we’ve cooperated, there’s a favor I’d like to ask of you," said Zhang Mingwu.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping’s brow furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Manager Zhang, what favor?"

If it was a matter of little importance.

Chen Ping wouldn’t mind assisting, as they had cooperated for so long, and there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

"Well, Director Chen, after this collaboration, we’ve noticed the talents of the students from your School of Architecture. They seem to be quite gifted, especially students like Liu Chuanjie, Cui Hai, and Zhao Chi. They have strong design abilities."

Zhang Mingwu said with a laugh, "We at Tianfu Construction Group need such talents. I wonder if Director Chen could introduce us. We would like to recruit these students. The compensation offered by Tianfu Construction Group is quite generous!"

"Uh!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping was suddenly stunned.

A moment later, Chen Ping said, "Director Zhang, about this matter, I’m afraid... I can’t make that decision."

"Oh?"

Zhang Mingwu curiously asked, "Director Chen, you are the head of the architectural department, isn’t this within your power?"

"This matter, I’m afraid we need to listen to Principal Ding," stated Chen Ping quite directly.

After all, Chen Ping was truly unable to make a decision on this matter, and it was also impossible because just now, Chen Ping was discussing with Principal Ding about establishing their own Feiyue Building Company at the school.

Then, Zhang Mingwu, the manager from Tianfu Construction Group, called to recruit people.

Such a major matter, how could Chen Ping dare make a decision on his own?

And even if Chen Ping were to help with a referral, it would still depend on what students like Liu Chuanjie thought.

Moreover, Chen Ping would not help refer anyone to Tianfu Construction Group.

"Oh, I see, Director Chen, then how about this, shall I talk with Principal Ding?" Zhang Mingwu said with a laugh: "After all, our Tianfu Construction Group is offering to provide early employment positions for your students."

Zhang Mingwu was full of confidence.

He believed that recruiting students from the architectural department of Mist City Arts and Science University, bearing the name of Tianfu Construction Group, would certainly not be an issue.

"Uh, this... Manager Zhang, sure, you can talk to Principal Ding,"

Chen Ping could not and should not make decisions regarding this matter.

Since Zhang Mingwu wanted to speak with Principal Ding, it was better to let him talk to the principal to avoid putting himself in an awkward position.

"Is it easy to schedule a meeting with Principal Ding?" Zhang Mingwu asked.

Chen Ping immediately covered the phone and turned to ask Principal Ding, "Principal Ding, it’s someone from Tianfu Construction Group who wants to discuss a matter with you, may I ask when Principal Ding might be available to meet?"

"I can meet today," Principal Ding replied with a faint smile.

"Okay."

Chen Ping conveyed Principal Ding’s message to Zhang Mingwu, "Manager Zhang, I am currently in Principal Ding’s office. I just asked Principal Ding, and he said we can talk today."

"Good, I’ll be right over!"

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Ping relayed to Principal Ding the exact details of what Zhang Mingwu mentioned over the phone.

Only then did Ding Yue realize that, indeed, this Zhang Mingwu from Tianfu Construction Group was intending to poach students from the architectural department of Mist City Arts and Science University.

That was certainly not acceptable!

But since Ding Yue had already agreed to meet with Zhang Mingwu, he would just wait to decline the offer face to face.

Meanwhile, he would also mention to Zhang Mingwu the upcoming establishment of Feiyue Construction and how the students from the architectural department of Mist City Arts and Science University were the foundation of the new establishment.

In the afternoon.

Zhang Mingwu from Tianfu Construction Group arrived at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Principal Ding warmly received Manager Zhang Mingwu.

He then invited him to his principal’s office to discuss the matter.

Given that he was a manager from Tianfu Construction Group, which had previously collaborated with Mist City Arts and Science University, it was only reasonable to give him some face.

However, to poach students from the architectural department of Mist City Arts and Science University—Ding Yue definitely could not agree to that.

"Principal Ding, I believe Director Chen must have told you about the reason for my visit, right?" Zhang Mingwu asked.

"Mhm mhm."

"Then I’ll get straight to the point. This time, our Tianfu Construction Group is planning to expand recruitment. We need a substantial number of college graduates specializing in architecture, and you know, Principal Ding, college students are full of energy and enthusiasm," Zhang Mingwu said with a smile: "And after our cooperation this time, the performance of your architectural students during the construction period at our Tianfu Construction Group was impressive. I think these students are exactly what we need."

Just as Zhang Mingwu was getting into the swing of his pitch,

Ding Yue suddenly said quite directly, "I’m sorry, Manager Zhang, but I’m afraid that won’t be possible."
