Chapter 63: The Radiance of Pseudo-Wisdom

  With the evidence of Sun Piaoyun's corruption in hand, Yang Bin doesn't have to worry about his clerk identity being revoked for the time being. However, the establishment of Project Four was decided after the leadership reported it to the city, if no work performance is seen after its establishment, it will definitely not pass the approval of Director Huang, the top leader.

  After what happened this morning, Qin Liang and Zhou Xiao Yi probably won't be coming back. Even if they want to come back, Yang Bin won't let them. The project team is already short of two people, and the others can't fill in the gap, not to mention taking care of the work of project four group. So it's necessary for project four group to recruit new personnel to make up for the shortage.

  Even Project Three Group still needs to recruit more people, otherwise with only the current four external personnel, the work will definitely not be finished. Yeah, as a supervisor, having control over money and personnel is great, but there are also many things to take care of, and after taking over, it's estimated that it will be busy for a while to sort out the previous ones.

  Although there is an Information Department in the Investment Promotion Agency, apart from the Project Department, the three people in the Information Department are clearly just going through the motions, taking advantage of public funds for travel and food. It's unrealistic to expect them to provide investment information. The several offices stationed in Beijing and Shanghai are relatively independent, and the information they obtain will not be shared with the Project Department. If the project team wants to achieve results, much of the information must come from their own efforts.

  There are not many people in the China Merchants Bureau, but the phenomenon of having too many leaders and not enough doers is still very serious. Basically, those who stay in the bureau are all leaders, and only a few non-staff members actually get things done.

  The treatment of temporary workers is very poor, and it's not easy to recruit people. Fortunately, at the recruitment fair yesterday, Yang Bin copied a list of applicants and their contact information from Zhao Zhipeng, with about a dozen or so names on it. Now we can call them to ask if they are interested in working here.

  After making seven or eight phone calls, Yang Bin felt somewhat disheartened...

  These people either thought the salary was too low and had no intention, or they had already found a job in another company. One by one, after answering the phone, they directly rejected Yang Bin without saying a few words.

  At the beginning, I went through all sorts of hardships to participate in the public examination and was finally employed as a non-staff member of the Commerce Bureau. Now, even if we relax the conditions and slightly improve the treatment during recruitment, we still can't find anyone willing to come and work. This is simply a huge irony for myself who dove headfirst into this at the beginning.

  Of course, Yang Bin was holding onto the illusion of being able to enter the system when he did a year's worth of temporary work, almost in vain. It wasn't until the last minute, with a series of unexpected events, especially with the help of his magical phone, that he finally got the opportunity to become a regular employee. Otherwise, all his hard work for the past year would have been meaningless.

  Finally, after making almost all the phone calls, there were only two people left on the list.

  Gu Zhanghe and Gu Xuan are siblings.

  These two people were interviewed by Yang Bin, so the form was also in Yang Bin's hands. Holding the form filled out by Gu Xuan, Yang Bin suddenly found that Gu Xuan's handwriting was actually quite good, very steady and powerful, which is rare among girls' handwriting.

  Yang Bin clearly remembered the appearance of Gu Xuan... a girl who should be considered very pretty, but spoke in a very mismatched way. Judging from her age on the resume, she was 22 this year, so it would be more appropriate to call her a woman.

  Compared with He Tangying's slightly melancholic and pure beauty, Gu Xuan's beauty lies in her dignified and calm demeanor... although this calmness seems to be put on.

  What left the deepest impression on Yang Bin was still her eyes, which shone with a certain profound and seemingly wise light. Hmm, it was a seemingly wise light, rather than a wise light... or perhaps... a contemplative light with some philosophical meaning... anyway, Yang Bin couldn't quite put his finger on that feeling, but he had a deeper impression of her, even though they had only met once.

  According to the phone number left on the form, Yang Bin dialed twice with the office phone before it was answered. When it was answered, the other party seemed to be very absent-minded or very cold and replied to him in a sentence: "Who is this?"

  "Excuse me, is this Miss Gu Xuan?" Yang Bin asked in that direction.

  "Gu Xuan? You hit... uh? Who are you?" The other side seemed to have hesitated for a moment before asking Yang Bin another question.

  "I was the one who recruited at the exhibition center yesterday... um, from the Bureau of Commerce... My surname is Yang..." Yang Bin introduced himself.

  The last two candidates were selected, and he had no hope of recruiting anyone. Now he just wanted to finish the last two phone calls and invite Zheng Ying for lunch. Of course, it was enough to make this one call, and he could also ask Gu Xuan about whether his brother was coming or not.

  "Oh, is that Yang Bin?" The other party's tone became enthusiastic after recognizing Yang Bin's voice: "I remember you, do you have something to ask me?"

  "It's like this, our investment promotion agency... um, the project group I'm in charge of needs to recruit a few project assistants to assist with the work of the investment promotion agency. Mainly it's about meeting clients, collecting investment information, organizing investment promotion meetings, drafting investment project contracts, business negotiations and so on. I don't know if you're interested?" Yang Bin repeated what he had previously said to all the job applicants to Gu Xuan... actually, he was saying it to Tang Yuan.

  "Hmm... oh... I... let me think about it..." He seemed a bit hesitant on that side.

  "Oh, okay, I won't bother you then. By the way, can you ask your brother if he's interested in this aspect? If he is, please let me know and I'll contact him directly instead of calling him myself." Yang Bin was about to hang up the phone, but judging from Gu Xuan's tone, it seemed like there wasn't much hope.

  "I... if I go... how will you contact me by phone?" The person on the other end of the line suddenly asked Yang Bin again.

  "Call me on my mobile phone. I'm often out seeing clients and may not be in the office." Yang Bin thought for a moment before responding to Tang Yuan.

  "What's your phone number?" Tang Wen asked Yang Bin.

  "I'll call you later." Yang Bin was too lazy to give his number and didn't really expect anything to come of it.

  "Okay." Tang Wan replied and then Yang Bin hung up the phone.

  After hanging up the phone, Yang Bin was stunned for a while before dialing the mobile number filled in by Gu Xue's form. It rang twice and was about to hang up when it connected again.

  "Oh... I'm Yang Bin, I told you to leave a number earlier." Yang Bin introduced himself to Tang Wan, originally he just wanted to call and leave a number, didn't expect the other end to pick up.

  "Hmm, if I go to work, then I'll call this number to find you, right? By the way, what are the requirements for going to work there?" Tang Wan asked Yang Bin again.

  "Requirements... well, since you're a girl... just put on some light makeup and dress neatly, don't be late and that sort of thing. There aren't many special requirements. The main thing is sales work, which requires a certain level of connections... If you don't have them... it's not the end of the world... If you feel like you're not familiar with the work... I can arrange for someone to show you the ropes in the beginning." Yang Bin tried to downplay the work environment and atmosphere as much as possible, now that basically no one wants to come, and putting on a stern face to talk about work performance requirements is just ridiculous.

  "Alright, I'll call you back... at the latest tonight. Hmm... you hold this spot for me first." Tang Wen said to Yang Bin.

  "Call this number when you need me, I'll be available anytime." Yang Bin also replied to Tang Yuan with a sentence before hanging up the phone.

  Save the quota? The problem is that someone has to grab this quota, right? No one grabs it, and I don't save it, it's still saved! Sigh...I really don't know what to say.

  At this moment, Yang Bin would never have thought that the object of his phone call was actually the main target that Project Four of China Merchants Group needed to deal with.

  Dongxing's Tang Yun

  He actually wants to recruit her into the project team.

  It all depends on what she decides tonight anyway.
