Chapter 246: Brother, Hold Me

After the interviews ended, the candidates dispersed from Wanzhong some happy some worried.

Job hunting is like this the job you like may not like you but the job that likes you you may not like it’s all about trade-offs.

Jiang Qin took this time to stay in the meeting room holding a small meeting with four people to assign tasks for the new team.

The twelve people recruited into the marketing planning department were actually leaders of the ground promotion they didn’t need to really go out the ones who really needed to go were the day laborers Jiang Qin recruited through Wanzhong but as leaders they didn’t have to go personally but they must understand the regional resources and situation.

“The twelve people in the marketing planning department from the start of employment need to go to nearby commercial districts to investigate understand regional characteristics and resources Manager Yue will be responsible for arranging this.”

“Lanlan you assist from the side.”

“Whether it’s full day or half day after three days I need each of them to submit a promotion plan of no less than 2,000 words for their responsible region we’ll use this to select team leaders.”

“Also the business department shouldn’t be idle either collect information on nearby merchants as much as possible.”

“Tan Qing you’ve done this before when promoting group-buy you and Manager Bao will control this from both sides.”

“Next weekend group-buy service will conduct another on-campus promotion rile up all the college students to consume outside the school gates the business department should seize the opportunity invite surrounding merchants to Wanzhong Mall to witness this business peak.”

“The purpose of enticement is simple to make them envious then invite them to join group-buy together.”

“Everyone understand?”

Jiang Qin said all this picked up his teacup to take a sip sweeping his gaze over the four women before him.

The first to respond “Understood” were Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing because the two of them were already completely used to the boss’s style.

The boss likes to directly issue orders give you a starting point then guide you to an endpoint the two points can be connected into a straight line you just need to be a tool person push the task along this line.

But experienced society people like Yue Zhu and Bao Wenping couldn’t react in time.

This was the third formal meeting they attended hosted by Jiang Qin.

The first time was last January when President He was racking his brain over reform direction having no choice but to spend money to invite Jiang Qin as a consultant.

That meeting Jiang Qin didn’t say much just listened to everyone then directly took them to the nearby pedestrian street letting them wander around themselves.

The second time was a few days ago a round of interviews had just begun Bao Wenping and Yue Zhu reported the interview situation to him.

That time Bao Wenping spoke the most Jiang Qin listened the whole time even acted very polite constantly thanking them saying they worked hard.

Only this time did they experience what kind of existence Jiang Qin was in the business world.

Not like how he usually acted goofy loving to joke around.

Also not like how they imagined that once he made a move it would be full of tricks making people blush.

Jiang Qin’s true style was like a freshly sharpened knife straight and sharp telling you what to do how to do it then having you do it immediately.

Employees in his hands were like tool people who only needed to execute tasks.

More vividly employees were Jiang Qin’s tentacles reaching out to society the brain sent commands countless tentacles constantly cooperated never stopping.

This model naturally had extremely high efficiency but required the one in power to never make mistakes also required the team’s absolute trust and execution.

Achieving these three points even if selling insoles could probably make a killing.

But business people all know these three points are often the most difficult to realize in the business world.

Yue Zhu was the earliest to come into contact with Jiang Qin but never understood how a college student could take the business to this level in a year but after this meeting she seemed to be able to perceive some of it.

Jiang Qin made all part-time college students believe he would never make a mistake and he really never did.

“Manager Yue Manager Bao any other questions?”

Yue Zhu and Bao Wenping instantly returned to their senses: “Ah? No no we’ll just follow President Jiang’s arrangements.”

“Good then let’s have a meal together.” Jiang Qin slapped the table and stood up.

“President Jiang you don’t need to be so polite we’re just doing our jobs.”

“Work is work eating is eating even if not working you still need to eat oh right call President He and the other three managers too this time it’s not business just a casual meal.”

Three minutes later He Yijun appeared at the office door all smiles: “President Jiang I heard you want to treat us to a meal?”

Jiang Qin smiled slightly: “Everyone has worked hard recently sorry for the trouble President He keeps freeloading I actually feel a bit bad how about this today I’ll host let’s go eat at the hotpot restaurant on the third floor!”

He Yijun: “?????”

After eating hotpot Jiang Qin waved goodbye to everyone leaving Wanzhong with Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing: “President He is too polite although that hotpot restaurant is his since I was treating I should have been the one to pay who knew he wouldn’t let me he’s really a good person.”

Tan Qing coughed: “Boss if you really wanted to treat shouldn’t you have arranged an outside restaurant?”

“Really? I’m just a college student I don’t know anything.”

As soon as he said this Jiang Qin froze his expression a bit dazed: “That last sentence sounds so familiar have any of you often said it?”

Wei Lanlan was stunned for a moment: “Never heard anyone say it.”

“Strange I feel like I often hear this sentence as if every word is stabbing my heart.”

Jiang Qin muttered to himself for a while feeling like a mantis stalking a cicada but suddenly realizing there seemed to be an oriole standing behind him but couldn’t figure out who the oriole was.

Could it be while I’m tricking others someone wants to trick me too?

Hehe impossible I’m so smart.

Jiang Qin immediately tossed this feeling aside then drove back to Linchuan University first dropping off Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing at the dorm then driving to the front square.

Passing by he saw his pink electric scooter knowing Feng Nanshu must be here.

Sure enough as soon as he entered he saw the little rich girl sitting at the counter her expression cold and clear sticking out her pink little tongue licking the ice cream in her hand seeing Jiang Qin come in she hesitated for a moment then passed over the half-licked ice cream.

What a good friend sharing good things to eat but facing temptation Jiang Qin still firmly shook his head.

“Good friends can’t do this.”

Feng Nanshu glanced at her ice cream: “Jiang Qin I already ate three more and my stomach will hurt.”

“Knowing that you still eat?” Jiang Qin reached out to pat her head.

The little rich girl looked aloof: “I know I was wrong but I’ll dare to do it next time too.”

Jiang Qin took the ice cream she had licked into a circle: “Enough no more eating today if you can’t finish just throw it away it’s not worth much anyway this whole store is yours.”

Feng Nanshu raised her eyes looking at him coldly: “Jiang Qin you can’t waste food.”

“You just want to see me eat your saliva right?”

“No I don’t know anything.”

Hearing this Jiang Qin who was eating the ice cream suddenly froze.

Fuck he said this sentence sounded familiar not knowing where he heard it turns out this is Feng Nanshu’s habitual phrase.

Tan Qing said since he wanted to treat he should have gone to an outside restaurant he said he was just a college student and didn’t know anything.

But does he really not know anything? Bullshit he just wanted to scam He Yijun for a meal.

Similarly Feng Nanshu wasn’t someone who didn’t know anything she just liked eating the same thing as Jiang Qin.

“Feng Nanshu you’re tricking me right?”

Feng Nanshu looked completely lost: “Jiang Qin what’s tricking?”

Jiang Qin organized his words: “It’s when you want someone to do something but if you say it directly they definitely won’t do it so you use a roundabout way to deceive them that’s called tricking.”

“I I still don’t understand.”

The little rich girl turned her gaze away pretending to be nonchalant.

Hearing her reply Jiang Qin ate the secondhand ice cream in silence but his face was full of suspicion.

At dusk the clouds in the sky were burning like fire a large group of students had gathered again on the field that just held the sports meet some playing cards some chatting.

The people in 208 were bored of staying in the office so they agreed to go to the field to play poker only Su Nai was left in the office locking the door not knowing what she was secretly doing.

But Dong Wenhao and Lu Feiyu learned their lesson this time either don’t play or must be in the same group as the boss’s wife no amount of persuasion worked.

Sure enough after winning a few rounds in a row the two were overjoyed following the boss’s wife seemed to earn more than following the boss.

But their opponents Wei Lanlan and Tan Qing wouldn’t accept it insisting on being in the same group as the boss’s wife or they wouldn’t play.

While Jiang Qin sat on the side a handsome boss looking like a kept man that came with the little rich girl making him feel he had no face.

“Alright alright no more playing you guys play little rich girl come with me don’t disturb the balance.”

“Then I won’t play.”

Feng Nanshu stood up putting her hand in Jiang Qin’s following him out of the field with a pitter-patter.

May evenings aren’t hot so there were quite a few people strolling on the road passing the maple forest in the dark you could vaguely see several couples hugging each other swaying back and forth.

The little rich girl couldn’t walk anymore tugging Jiang Qin to watch for a while her eyes sparkling.

“Why watch this? It’s not interesting I’ll take you back to 207 Hayao Miyazaki has another classic ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ I’ll accompany you to watch…”

“Brother hold me.”

Feng Nanshu interrupted his words her eyes rippling as if with tears.
