Chapter 406: Xiao Xue and Lingling [Thanks to

"Everyone, please sit." Xie Shu Yu gestured elegantly. "Let's communicate our needs simply first; others will arrive later."

"Alright, President Xie."

Several people sat down at the conference table one after another.

Tang Zong sat naturally beside Xie Shu Yu, opened his laptop, and connected to the projector.

Wang Yunping took a deep breath and introduced, "These two are our company's senior human resources consultants, Li Wei and Wang Jianan."

"President Xie, hello." (*2)

"Hello, both of you."

"The next main work will be completed by the three of us together. I hope to be able to help Weiguang Coffee successfully complete this human resources adjustment and recruitment." Wang Yunping then introduced their previous work cases and achievements.

While speaking, he was sizing up Xie Shu Yu and Tang Zong opposite him.

As far as he knew, Weiguang Coffee had raised 40 million, a figure that was terrifying for a chain coffee shop.

Many current first-tier brands only had this level of early financing.

Looking at Tang Zong opposite him, the astonishment in his heart gradually swallowed him.

At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate that he had retreated in time and hadn't continued to pursue this beautiful female CEO.

Someone who could pull out 40 million in cash might have a net worth of more than 400 million.

Compared to such a big shot, he, a wage earner, really didn't count for much.

After the pleasantries and introductions were finished.

Tang Zong whispered a few words to Xie Shu Yu, took the initiative to stand up, and walked to the front of the conference table with a PPT remote.

In the conference room, the lights were soft and bright, illuminating the entire space with exceptional clarity.

Tang Zong's figure was tall and straight, his dark, tailored suit simple yet solemn, highlighting his maturity and capability perfectly.

"Next, I will simply introduce this 【Weiguang Coffee Recruitment Empowerment Plan】."

This document was a plan he had made himself yesterday based on the data Xie Shu Yu gave him.

His current comprehensive quality and ability could be fully described as a business elite, no worse than Xie Shu Yu's.

And in his "Scholar God" state, he had also taken the time to think about the subsequent development of Weiguang Coffee, making it easy for him to do.

Incidentally, he also had Bocai Yingrui contact Deju Renhe, thinking of giving his female CEO friend a big surprise.

Next, Tang Zong began to introduce Weiguang Coffee's expansion plan from multiple dimensions, such as the subsequent number of stores, organizational structure, employee types, and market coverage.

Weiguang Coffee currently only had high popularity and reputation among Yancheng's coffee-consuming groups, as well as a batch of loyal customers.

Therefore, the initial leisure stores and quick-pickup stores would only be in Yancheng, with an estimated increase of 30 stores.

Besides this, they would also build boutique business coffee shops centered on first-tier cities, including the Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Hangcheng, and Shencheng.

The specifications would be even higher than the current Weiguang Coffee, positioning them as flagship stores and providing high-end, fashionable, and high-quality scene experiences.

Through the layout in these core cities, they would build brand influence and scale effects.

While maintaining the professionalism and tonality of boutique coffee, they would also take into account the diverse needs of mass consumers.

After completing this expansion process, the number of stores was expected to exceed 50, and the number of employees would break through 450.

Currently, they needed to recruit: training teams, supply chain management teams, beverage R&D teams, food R&D teams, data analysis experts, etc.

Once preliminary national brand awareness was formed, they would adopt a direct-operation + franchise model for expansion.

The 40 million investment had already arrived, plus Weiguang Coffee's original cash flow and bank loans.

The actual controllable funds were very large and could fully support the implementation of this plan.

Tang Zong's voice was low and magnetic, his posture calm and confident, his words concise and powerful.

Under his tall, straight nose, a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth, possessing both the majesty of controlling the overall situation and the charm that made people want to get close.

Xie Shu Yu's gaze toward him became brighter and brighter.

Tang Zong hadn't shown her this PPT, but it was even more perfect than the one she had planned herself.

Of course, Tang Zong's expansion plan was also a bit more exaggerated.

However, none of this affected the emotion and appreciation in her heart.

This was the benefit of having a powerful partner; when encountering any major decision, he could stand side-by-side with her and help her bear part of the pressure.

And at this very moment, Tang Zong was very handsome in her eyes, as if he were radiating light.

Below, Wang Yunping's lips were tightly pursed, his gaze complex and horrified.

He still remembered that meeting a few months ago, when Tang Zong still carried visible greenness and timidity.

Although he tried hard to keep calm while talking and chatting, he was actually very hollow, just like an ordinary otaku programmer.

That was why he could righteously "teach" the other party: "When you have time, you can contact more people outside and read more books. It can both improve your cognition and enrich your literacy."

But the Tang Zong he met this time was truly reborn compared to a few months ago.

It was like he had become a different person.

"Alright, that's about it." Tang Zong returned to his seat and said calmly, "If you have any doubts, feel free to speak up."

Wang Yunping and his two other colleagues looked at each other, exhaled lightly, and said, "Mr. Tang, President Xie, Weiguang Coffee's actions this time are somewhat beyond our estimation. Let's confirm the specific needs today first. Afterward, I will communicate with the leadership and arrange for more colleagues to join the group to fully assist you."

Yunjing Consulting's scale was not large, and its main service objects were small and medium-sized enterprises in Yan Province.

Currently, there were only 20 employees in the Functional Consulting Department, and everyone had other work on hand.

According to the plan Tang Zong mentioned, to complete this work in a short time, at least 5 people were needed.

Of course, the service fee would also increase significantly.

Xie Shu Yu's eyes flowed, and she whispered, "These are just preliminary plans; we still need to continue to negotiate."

Under the table, Tang Zong's hand patted the female CEO's thigh imperceptibly and smiled at her.

Then he looked at Wang Yunping and the others. "Wang Jingli can rest assured about this point. Besides Yunjing Consulting, I have also arranged for other human resources companies to participate in this recruitment empowerment plan.

You have cooperated with Weiguang Coffee for more than two years and know the company's situation very well. You only need to cooperate with them. The specific workload for you shouldn't be too much. I hope this matter can be completed as soon as possible."

Xie Shu Yu was a person who valued cost control very much.

The company's human resources department only had 3 employees and couldn't cope with such a huge workload at all.

Yunjing Consulting could just happen to serve as a supplement.

"Uh... this..." The three were stunned.

Wang Yunping frowned, sat up straight, and said, "Mr. Tang, forgive me for being blunt, but it's not the more the better. In this regard, our Yunjing Consulting can fully complete it alone, and I also hope you can trust us."

Then, his gaze turned to Xie Shu Yu. "President Xie, we have cooperated for so long; you should know our strength very well."

Xie Shu Yu pursed her red lips, looked at Tang Zong beside her, and moved her lips slightly.

Just at this moment, Tang Zong's phone suddenly vibrated.

"Wait a moment, I'll take a call."

Tang Zong said, answering the phone. "Hello, President Huo."

"Mm, good, you come directly to the large conference room."

"Bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone.

Tang Zong looked up and smiled. "The people I arranged have arrived. Let's meet and negotiate together. Wang Jingli, don't worry. As a shareholder of Weiguang Coffee, I hope for the company's faster and better development more than anyone else."

Hearing his words, Xie Shu Yu didn't say anything more.

Wang Yunping took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I understand."

The human resources consultants Li Wei and Wang Jianan beside him looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

As consultants active on the front line, what they hated most was the client's distrust.

Especially finding multiple companies to carry out the same project at the same time; there would be many bumps in the road to push it forward.

A moment later, a burst of dense footsteps came from the direction of the conference room door.

Immediately after, a knock on the door sounded.

Xie Shu Yu stood up. "Please come in."

The people in the conference room stood up one after another, looking toward the door.

"Creak—" The frosted glass door was pushed open slowly.

Figures appeared outside the door.

At a glance, there were at least a dozen people.

There were men and women, all wearing standard work uniforms.

Seeing the logo on their briefcases, as well as a certain person in the crowd.

Li Wei blurted out, "President Zhao!"

Following his words, Wang Yunping and Wang Jianan also recognized Zhao Pengyu standing there.

General Manager of the Deju Renhe (Yancheng) branch.

As the largest human resources service provider in the country, Deju Renhe had a very wide business scope, and Yunjing Consulting also had many cooperations with the other party.

Naturally, they all knew this famous President Zhao.

And their company's chairman and the other party had a pretty good personal relationship.

Immediately after, they saw the person in charge of the Bocai Yingrui Yancheng branch, Huo Wanjun.

He was also a heavyweight character in the Yancheng consulting service industry.

Xie Shu Yu's chest under her suit heaved, and a trace of irrepressible astonishment appeared on her face.

These were the "foreign aid" Tang Zong mentioned?

Wasn't the commotion a bit too big?

Before they could react, more than ten people walked in one after another.

Leading them was a handsome man.

Around 40 years old, thick eyebrows and big eyes, distinct facial features, eyes clean, bright, calm, and collected.

He displayed excellent workplace elite charm.

Huo Wanjun beside him took a few quick steps and introduced enthusiastically, "President Tang, this is the Vice President of Deju Renhe, Lin Bai. This time, Weiguang Coffee's organizational structure adjustment, talent recruitment, and other affairs will all be personally responsible by President Lin."

He only found out yesterday that the person coming was actually Lin Bai, and he was so shocked he didn't rest well all night.

The gaze he looked at his boss with also became complex.

A bright and enthusiastic smile appeared on Lin Bai's face. He bent slightly and reached out. "Good morning, President Tang!"

"Hello, President Lin." Tang Zong smiled and shook hands with Lin Bai, his heart moving slightly.

Vice President of Deju Renhe; that should mean he was very closely related to Zheng Qiudong, and looking at his eyes, it was obvious he knew him.

Hearing key terms like "Vice President" and "Lin Bai," Wang Yunping and the other two felt their brains instantly "buzz."

They stared blankly at the man standing there, full of disbelief.

No wonder he felt so familiar just now; it turned out to be Lin Bai!

What kind of international joke was this?!

A talent recruitment job for a Weiguang Coffee, and he brought the Vice President of Deju Renhe over?!

Although he didn't have as much fame as Zheng Qiudong, Lin Bai was also a true big shot in the industry.

Immediately after, the several main persons in charge behind Lin Bai stepped forward one after another and introduced themselves.

There were human resources consulting experts, heads of top headhunting teams, talent scouting consultants, industry research experts...

Every single one of them had a significant background, but they all appeared humble and enthusiastic.

Xie Shu Yu's eyes widened a bit, and her hands on both sides of her body were clenched tightly.

Even she, who was always poised and poised, was stunned by this incredible scene.

Tang Zong patted her slim waist gently and introduced, "This is the General Manager of Weiguang Coffee, Xie Shu Yu. Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

"Hello, President Xie." "President Xie."... Xie Shu Yu's lips trembled, and she quickly adjusted her mindset, showing a poised and atmospheric smile on her face, nodding to greet them.

After some pleasantries.

Tang Zong looked in the direction of Wang Yunping and said, "These three are staff members from Yunjing Consulting. Yunjing has always been Weiguang Coffee's consulting service provider and knows the company's business and structure very well.

Wang Jingli, these are human resources experts from Bocai Yingrui and Deju Renhe; there is absolutely no problem with their business ability.

Next, both sides will cooperate to handle this matter as soon as possible."

His voice was calm and firm, carrying an unquestionable tone.

More than ten people, including Lin Bai, nodded in response one after another.

Wang Yunping and the other two trembled, standing there awkwardly and nervously, nodding numbly.

Any one of these people taken out alone was an extraordinary figure.

Put together, even if their boss came, he would have to bow his head.

Please... you.... bookmark_(!)

Talking about cooperation was really overestimating their Yunjing Consulting.

Xie Shu Yu gritted her teeth, reached out to hold Tang Zong's arm, and asked, "There is one more thing. Regarding the service contract terms and specific amounts, shouldn't we negotiate with the other party first?"

Tang Zong smiled. "The contract must be signed. You can discuss this with President Huo of Bocai Yingrui. Sister Shu Yu, rest assured, the amount will definitely not exceed your budget. I am the largest individual shareholder of Bocai Yingrui, and I have a very good relationship with Zheng Qiudong."

Hearing his words, Wang Yunping and the other two were stunned on the spot again, their mouths opening and closing.

Xie Shu Yu's eyebrows jumped, and the gaze she looked at Tang Zong with changed again.

After a moment, she suppressed her excited mood and whispered, "Alright, I understand."

This little boyfriend had given her another huge surprise.

For an enterprise, suitable talent is crucial; it can greatly enhance enterprise competitiveness and promote innovation and development.

With this heavy guarantee and sufficient capital support, Weiguang Coffee was like a tiger with wings.

And this also meant that Tang Zong's network resources were instantly pulled to the top!

Major shareholder of the well-known consulting management company Bocai Yingrui, friend of Zheng Qiudong.

Even those professional investment institutions couldn't compare.

Since she started her business, Xie Shu Yu had never fought such a wealthy battle!

Yuhua District, Huashang Apparel Co., Ltd. headquarters park.

5th floor of the Administration Building.

Zhang Jiahong sat in the small conference room, her hands clenched tightly on the table, her face full of nervousness and anxiety.

For the two days of the weekend, she had been preparing for today's interview except for sleeping.

The first round just now lasted for more than 20 minutes; there were HR and leaders from the clothing design department, and the interview process was very formal.

However, her performance could only be said to be satisfactory; after all, she had been studying for the civil service exam full-time before, which led to her not having much work experience.

Her family's conditions were originally okay; her parents both worked in a flour mill, which could be considered a stable source of income.

A few years ago, they even bought a house in the county.

However, some time ago, the factory went bankrupt due to poor management, and her father broke his leg while doing renovation work.

The whole family quickly fell into an economic crisis.

At such a time, Zhang Jiahong naturally had no mind to continue preparing for the exam and just wanted to find a job quickly to help her family get through the difficulties.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild.

The door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and an HR holding a file walked in.

"Sorry, Jiahong, kept you waiting."

Zhang Jiahong quickly raised her head. "No problem, no problem. That... I want to ask, about when can I know the interview result?"

"Haha, I can tell you now." HR smiled kindly. "Your expected salary is 5k, right?"

"Uh." Zhang Jiahong gritted her teeth and said sincerely, "I really like our company. If there is an opportunity to enter Huashang Apparel, I can accept an appropriate salary reduction."

Huashang Apparel was right next to the South Third Ring Road, very close to the Star Garden where she and Yao Lingling lived. The bus was only 8 stops away, and she could commute by electric scooter.

It was also a well-known local enterprise, and she really wanted to get this job opportunity.

HR shook her head quickly. "That's not what I mean. It's like this: the leaders of the clothing design department think you are a very good person and also really hope to keep you, this excellent talent.

The salary given to you is 6k, and the probation period is also full salary without discount.

Your position is temporarily designer assistant, mainly hoping you adapt to the work and environment first, and there will definitely be promotion opportunities later."

Then she placed the folder in front of Zhang Jiahong and smiled. "Welcome to Huashang Apparel. This is some introduction to our company, as well as things you need to prepare for joining. I will send the offer to your email later."

"This..." Zhang Jiahong was stunned, stood up excitedly, and said, "Thank you for the company's recognition! Thank you!"

Normally, such large clothing enterprises would have at least two interviews.

For her to pass in one go, and with such a high salary, it was obvious that the internal referral had played a role.

Walking out of the Administration Building.

The sky was clear, with blue sky and white clouds.

Zhang Jiahong looked around, only feeling her mood surging.

From now on, she was an official employee of Huashang Apparel.

This was a well-known clothing manufacturing enterprise established for more than 20 years, with a comprehensive area of 100,000 square meters and nearly 3,000 employees.

Regardless of enterprise scale, welfare benefits, or work stability.

It was much better than Shanya Apparel where Lingling and Shumin were.

It was the good job she had dreamed of.

Standing in the open space, she was dazed for a long time, looking at the messages in the group.

Zhang Jiahong picked up her phone and dialed her best friend's number.

Shanya Clothing Design Co., Ltd.

A male colleague suddenly walked into the office area and sighed with a "tsk tsk." "Our company has a client; she looks really beautiful, and her temperament is super good. It's simply... this is the first time I've seen such a great girl in reality."

Several lecherous colleagues instantly perked up, putting down the work in their hands one after another.

"Brother Liu, tell me in detail, how is her figure?"

"Do you have photos?"

"Her figure is nothing to say, her age is just in her early 20s, but her aura is very strong, and she looks particularly cold."

Yao Lingling, who was drawing, turned around and said with a grin, "Where is she, Brother Liu? Such a beautiful girl, we must go take a look!"

Brother Liu chuckled. "Lingling, you are a girl; this situation is a bit abnormal."

"What's wrong? Are you engaging in gender discrimination?" Yao Lingling's eyebrows curved. "The beauties I follow on Douyin and Xiaohongshu are all beauties; I usually like looking at beautiful girls, it makes me feel comfortable."

Just at this moment, another colleague walked over, heard their discussion, and said, "President Xiao and President Zhao are receiving them in the clothing display area. I heard they are executives from Lanfeng International Hotel and want to find us to customize a batch of high-end uniforms.

To be honest, she is truly beautiful, wearing luxury goods all over, and the bag she is carrying is an LV Capucines Himalaya."

As a well-known local clothing design company, Shanya had a specialized high-end customization department, and their service objects included enterprises like Lanfeng International.

"Oh wow! It's a female executive from Lanfeng International!"

"I don't have any other hobbies, I just like looking at bags. This must be checked out."

"It just so happens I want to go to the bathroom, I'll take a look on the way."

Although everyone was making a fuss, everyone knew the importance, and only one or two people actually went over.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Yao Lingling looked at the caller information and quickly answered the phone. "Hello, Jiahong, how is the situation?"

"I've already gotten the offer! Salary 6k, full five insurances and one fund, annual leave..." Zhang Jiahong's excited voice came from the receiver.

Yao Lingling listened quietly, a big smile appearing on her face.

After she finished speaking, she said happily, "As expected of a big enterprise, the welfare benefits are just good! Let's go back tonight and have a feast."

"Thank you and Minmin, and your President Xiao. Although I know he definitely doesn't care, I still want to thank him in person if I have the chance."

"Mm-hmm, the company is busy preparing for the Yan Province International Clothing Exhibition recently. Let's wait until this period passes."

"Alright, then I won't disturb your work. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

Just after hanging up the phone, Li Shumin immediately leaned over. "What did she say?"

Yao Lingling smiled and made an OK gesture. "Everything went smoothly, Jiahong will join soon, salary 6k."

"Yeah!" Hearing this, Li Shumin first showed a pleasantly surprised smile, then pouted and said, "Alright, the salary is actually 1000 higher than mine, making me want to jump ship there."

The designer assistant industry generally has a salary between 4k and 6k in Yancheng.

Her previous base salary was only 4k. After entering the Qimeng Business Department, Xiao Mingxuan raised it by 1000, which was also the reason why she had such a good impression of this President Xiao.

As a result, her good sister Jiahong just used a connection and reached 6k directly.

To say she wasn't envious would be impossible.

Yao Lingling comforted her with a smile and pointed in the direction of the reception area. "Let's go, let's go see the beautiful female executive, and walk around the hallway by the way. Sitting for a long time makes my waist and back ache."

"Alright." Li Shumin shrugged.

The two turned a corner along the office corridor and walked forward for a distance.

The large clothing display area entered their view; this was also the most luxurious and high-end area of Shanya.

When Yao Lingling and Li Shumin passed by, they secretly glanced over there.

Immediately after, several figures entered their view.

There was Xiao Mingxuan, the director of the high-end customization department Zhao Yueming, and two senior designers.

Besides them, there were two strange men and women.

Yao Lingling was stunned, her gaze looking at that girl.

Fair skin, beautiful face, slim waist, and long legs.

Her figure was tall and graceful, wearing a dark blue ladies' casual suit, looking capable and fashionable.

Her eyes were bright and spirited, leaning calmly and confidently against the railing, her posture elegant and flamboyant.

She looked full of arrogance.

After thinking carefully for a while, a name instantly floated into her mind.

【Lin Empress Mu Xue】

When she was eating at Lanfeng International Hotel with Wen Ruan before, she had met her.

At that time, she was surrounded by people, and it seemed she was indeed a hotel executive.

However, the two had only met in passing, and if it weren't for the deep impression, she would probably have forgotten this name.

She guessed the other party probably didn't remember a small person like her either.

Li Shumin beside her suddenly whispered, "Lingling, the earrings and watch she's wearing seem to be the same model as yours."

Yao Lingling blinked and stopped to look over.

Good heavens, it was exactly the same as the one Senior Tang Zong gave her!

Their eyes met.

Lin Empress Mu Xue's expression was slightly startled, her gaze sweeping over her whole body, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.
