Chapter 51: Recruiting Soldiers and Buying Horses, The New Cleaning Girl (33k Requests for Follow)

Below the faculty apartment building.

Chen Yansen watched Xu Xingxing flee in panic, wiped the lip gloss from his lips with a raised hand, and sneered: "You screamed loud, but you ran fast. You couldn't handle it even after reaching third base."

He patted his belly and leisurely strolled into the cafeteria.

On the other side, Xu Xingxing ran several hundred meters in one breath before stopping, panting heavily.

She was drenched all over, her cheeks flushed, secretly regretting in her heart that she had been so bold as to tease Chen Yansen.

That bastard really takes advantage when he sees a chance; he's not polite at all!

She had thought Chen Yansen would at most just kiss her, but unexpectedly, this guy acted like an old driver, nearly swallowing her whole.

Xu Xingxing recalled the scene just now, feeling both fear and excitement; who wouldn't want to date a tall, handsome, and wealthy boy like Chen Yansen?

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, her closest roommate immediately rushed over and asked: "Xingxing, what did you and Chen Yansen do?"

"Of course, we went on a date."

Xu Xingxing giggled, deliberately glanced at Su Meiling, and spoke in a voice neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for the other person to hear.

Su Meiling watched her touching up her lip gloss in front of the mirror, and some suspicions inevitably arose in her mind.

"Xu Xingxing, what exactly do you mean? Everyone knows Su Meiling liked Chen Yansen first and even planned to pursue him."

That slightly chubby girl with freckles on her face, hearing Xu Xingxing's veiled remarks, immediately couldn't sit still and shouted loudly.

"The main person isn't even anxious, yet a little girl is getting worked up? Pity, Class Monitor Chen doesn't like obedient girls. Besides, you were just planning to pursue him, you haven't won him over yet."

Xu Xingxing wore a faint smile on her face and spoke mockingly.

Just because you like a boy, does that mean no one else can touch him?

"Xu Xingxing, are you sure you want to fight me for Chen Yansen?" Su Meiling suddenly stood up and asked with a cold face.

"Stop arguing! It's just one Chen Yansen, is it worth it? I heard from a senior in the third year that he has a girlfriend; neither of you have a chance."

In the corner, a quiet girl wearing glasses glanced disdainfully at Xu Xingxing and Su Meiling and spoke out of the blue.

"Impossible! Wu Xiaoyu, who did you hear that nonsense from?" Su Meiling's face darkened, and she hurriedly asked for clarification.

"Many people in the Information Engineering Department know; his girlfriend is a sophomore, and I heard she's in the design class."

Wu Xiaoyu pushed her glasses up, put down the professional book in her hand, and answered in a flat tone.

Someone like her, who is determined to take the postgraduate entrance exam, simply couldn't understand why, just for a boy, the dormitory atmosphere was made to feel like a cold war all day long.

"Hee hee, I knew long ago that Class Monitor Chen has a girlfriend, but so what?" Xu Xingxing's laughter rang like silver bells, her tone completely indifferent.

Su Meiling gave Xu Xingxing a cold look, then saw that Wu Xiaoyu didn't seem to be joking, so she immediately fell silent and stood there stunned, burdened with worries.

The next morning, on the second floor of the Entrepreneurship Park.

Because Chen Yansen had posted the second recruitment notice for Fox Tao on the bulletin board yesterday, as soon as eight o'clock arrived, people were waiting at the doors of rooms 206 and 208 with resumes.

Having learned from the previous experience, Song Yuncheng first asked everyone to line up, then poured a glass of water for each person.

It wasn't until nine o'clock that Chen Yansen arrived leisurely.

He glanced at the dense crowd of people in line, took a deep breath, and thought: I still underestimated the attractiveness of Fox Tao's salary; so many people actually came an hour early to queue for the interview.

Chen Yansen didn't delay; after sitting down, he directly announced the start of the interviews.

"Do you see this table? Give it an e-commerce style long title within twenty characters."

Chen Yansen was first interviewing for the product selection operations position; he signaled Song Yuncheng to hand a piece of paper and a pen to each candidate.

"Swish swish swish—"

In an instant, the hall was filled with the sound of ballpoint pens scratching across paper.

Five minutes later, Chen Yansen took the answer sheets collected by Song Yuncheng, ticking for those he was satisfied with and crossing out those he was not.

Finally, only two people were left: Chen Xu, a junior majoring in E-commerce, and Hu Li, a senior majoring in Chinese Language and Literature.

"Song Yuncheng, you teach these two about product selection; if there are any questions you're unsure about, come ask me."

Chen Yansen instructed Song Yuncheng.

Unknowingly, she was not only a UI designer and product selection operator, but also responsible for administration and HR work, and was still the personal secretary of President Chen.

Song Yuncheng acknowledged, led Chen Xu and Hu Li to the vacant office desks in room 208, then took out two brand-new business laptops; the three sat side by side and began to quietly discuss the product selection database page.

Before long, Su Meiling came up from the staircase with three girls dressed simply; after looking around, she fixed her gaze on Song Yuncheng.

She looks quite ordinary, not particularly beautiful either?

Su Meiling pondered silently, and a bit more confidence inevitably arose in her heart.

"Yo, Secretary Su is here; please have the three students sit down. Thank you for coming to help. Secretary Su has surely already explained the treatment, job content, and duration, so I won't repeat them. Song..."

Chen Yansen stopped the ongoing interview work, stepped forward to greet them; he instinctively wanted to call out Song Yuncheng, but seeing her busy with her head down, he swallowed his words.

Sigh, we are still too short on staff!

"Zhuang Rui, take these three students to room 208, and help them connect to the customer service system."

Chen Yansen looked left and right, felt that Zhuang Rui was the most suitable person for this task, and immediately called out.

"Got it, Brother Sen!"

Zhuang Rui saw they were three girls, immediately stood up to treat them enthusiastically, led them to get computers and register accounts, then tossed them a thick PPT document.

It detailed Fox Tao's business model, the SOP for answering user questions, and the operation methods for following orders and supplementing orders.

"Chen Yansen, you can call me Su Meiling, or Meiling is fine." Su Meiling lowered her head, first casting a guilty glance at Song Yuncheng, then spoke softly.

"Alright, Secretary Su! I'm quite busy here, so I won't keep you."

Chen Yansen nodded and directly issued the order for her to leave.

Su Meiling was slightly stunned; she didn't expect Chen Yansen to be so utilitarian, treating people well only when he needed them and discarding them immediately after, turning his face faster than flipping a book.

However, she didn't forget the purpose of coming today, so she lowered her voice, looked in the direction of Song Yuncheng, and asked: "Is that senior your girlfriend?"

Song Yuncheng is my girlfriend?

Who is spreading such nonsense? I haven't even made my move yet!

Chen Yansen's expression turned odd, but he didn't explain. Instead, with a perfectly serious face, he asked back, "Yeah, what about it?"

"Oh."

Su Meiling's heart clenched suddenly. Hearing Chen Yansen's answer felt like finally hitting a brick wall. Her mood sank, and she turned and walked away.

The excuses she'd prepared earlier were instantly forgotten.

Chen Yansen gave a faint smile. Just as he was about to sit down and continue the interview, he saw Xu Xingxing walking over briskly.

"I'm busy here, no time to fool around with you. Go stand aside." Chen Yansen frowned and waved his hand.

"I'm here for an interview too. What, I'm not welcome?" Xu Xingxing wasn't angry at all. She asked with a grin.

"What can you do?"

Chen Yansen crossed his arms over his chest, stared straight at her, and asked casually.

"Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it."

Xu Xingxing stood on tiptoe, breathed a puff of warm air toward Chen Yansen's face, and said softly.

"Really? I'm still short a cleaning lady here." Chen Yansen teased with a mischievous grin.

"Sweeping floors? That's my specialty. I've been the hygiene monitor since I was little."

Xu Xingxing wasn't shy at all. She squinted and smiled, revealing a row of neat teeth. Her lips were glossy, coated with the same lip glaze as yesterday.

"Alright, next time I'll show you my glow-in-the-dark ID. I'm really busy today."

Chen Yansen pouted his lips and glanced at the long queue lined up outside the door.

"I'm not joking. I really do want to interview. You're short on people here, aren't you?" Xu Xingxing dropped her smile and said seriously.

"HR, admin, plus cleaning lady—can you handle all that?"

Seeing her dead serious, Chen Yansen figured they really were short-handed and replied right away.

"That much work—how many salaries do I get?" Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile.

"Dream on. Just one salary. Take it or leave it?" Chen Yansen rolled his eyes at her, speaking irritably.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Fine, I'll do it." Xu Xingxing cursed 'Chen the Exploiter' under her breath, then replied with a dry laugh.

"What are you still standing there for? Go up front and help me collect the resumes, then sweep the floor."

Chen Yansen immediately started assigning tasks.

"Yes sir, Boss Chen!" Xu Xingxing drooped her face and replied weakly. That bastard Chen Yansen really was treating her like a cleaning lady.

Chen Yansen paid Xu Xingxing no more attention and went back to the interviews. Midway through, Wang Zihao arrived carrying breakfast. The two interviewed together and finally picked two sharp junior students, telling them to follow Wang Zihao and learn SEO and ad placement techniques.

With the arrival of Zhu Xiaopeng and Meng Xibo, Chen Yansen's round of hiring came to an end. After all, these weren't technical positions, so as long as their IQ and EQ were normal, Chen Yansen didn't make too many demands.

With over a dozen new people added at once, Fox Treasure's team expanded to 22 members. The previously empty Room 208 instantly became crowded.

Chen Yansen thought for a moment, pulled a plastic bag from the cabinet, and walked straight into Cao Dahua's office.

"Director Cao, I was passing through Shidu yesterday and bought two cans of tea. Only after paying did I remember I don't even like drinking tea. I figured you usually enjoy tasting tea, so I brought them over for you."

Chen Yansen smiled, plopped down on Cao Dahua's sofa, looking very familiar.

The excuse was ridiculous, but Cao Dahua clearly wasn't the type to care.

"Student Chen Yansen, in the startup park, between you and me, it's a pure teacher-student relationship. Calling me Director Cao is too formal. Just call me Teacher Cao from now on."

Cao Dahua, guided by muscle memory, smoothly pulled open a drawer and said with a beaming face.

"Clang—!"

With a push from Chen Yansen's hand, the two cans of tea dropped into the drawer. Cao Dahua smoothly closed it.

The two were perfectly in sync, like old friends of many years, not even needing eye contact.

"Teacher Cao, I hired some more people today. The office is a bit cramped."

After delivering the gift, Chen Yansen skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"How many rooms do you need? The desks are all ready, no problem. I'll have a few students help you move things up later."

Cao Dahua heard this and immediately thumped his chest as he spoke.

"One room is fine, 204." Chen Yansen replied.

Cao Dahua nodded, set down his teacup, rummaged through the box on the desk for the key to 204, and tossed it to Chen Yansen.

Chen Yansen took the key, chatted casually with Cao Dahua for a few more minutes, then slowly made his way back to the second floor.

"Sen-ge, who's that girl mopping the floor?" Zhang Wenbo, just back from break, stood at the door and asked Chen Yansen as soon as he saw him.

"Oh, a newly hired cleaning lady."

Chen Yansen answered offhandedly.

"Sen-ge, you love joking. Such a pretty Miss, and you really treat her as a cleaner?" The honest Zhang Wenbo didn't believe it at all and grinned.

"Xu Xingxing, catch! Before you get off work, get 204 cleaned up!"

Chen Yansen said, tossing the key to 204 to Xu Xingxing while giving instructions.

"Yes! Boss Chen!"

Even with the air conditioning on, Xu Xingxing was still sweating from the work. Hearing Chen Yansen assign her yet another task, she could only grit her teeth and agree.

"Huh!? She's really a cleaner?"

Zhang Wenbo was dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief.

Brothers, please support.
