Chapter 12: Getting something for nothing
"I have no interest in student clubs. I just want to make money."
Chen Jianghe smiled and responded calmly.
The existence of student associations is mainly to enrich the extracurricular life of college students and to provide personalization, but for Chen Jianghe, this is a complete waste of time.
He actually wanted to join the college youth league committee, but Zhang Mingjie had already used it to show off, so he was too lazy to say it.
"Student Chen Jianghe is working part-time to earn money for his studies at school, right? Speaking of which, there are several girls in our class who come from remote mountainous areas and start working part-time in the cafeteria and library as soon as they enter school. As long as it does not interfere with their studies, it is nothing wrong for them to earn some living expenses," said Zhang Mingjie with a smile.
This guy just likes to act tough in front of others and step on others to show how powerful he is.
Normally, Chen Jianghe wouldn't bother with him, but not today.
Chen Jianghe took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, looked at Zhang Mingjie with a smile, and said, "Student Zhang, I have fallen to the point of working and studying, and my life is difficult. How about you treat me to lunch and take me to a good meal?"
"No problem. I've heard that the food in the Zhongda cafeteria is good. It's not easy for me to come here, so I'll invite everyone to try it together."
Zhang Mingjie didn't know it was a trap and smiled generously.
"Eating in the cafeteria is so boring."
Chen Jianghe shook his head in denial, then smiled and said, "I know there is a private kitchen near the north gate of Sun Yat-sen University. The owner and chef are both from Dongguan. They cook delicious hometown dishes, but the prices are a little expensive. I wonder if classmate Zhang is willing to take us on a splurge?"
When Zhang Mingjie heard that the price was a bit high, his eyelids twitched a few times, but he had already pretended to be arrogant, and there was absolutely no reason to take it back. He still looked calm and calm: "Haha, it's a rare gathering for old classmates, so it's only natural for me to take everyone to splurge."
“The boss is generous!”
Chen Jianghe directly changed his name to him, not giving him a chance to regret. He rubbed his belly and stood up: "Boss Zhang will pay for today's lunch. Classmates, let's go!"
"Okay!"
Chen Jianghe led the atmosphere, Qin Shaohai was the first to respond, and other students were also excited.
It has been more than 20 days since the start of the school year, and everyone has basically been eating simple meals and watery soups in the cafeteria every day. They have long missed their hometown food. When they heard Chen Jianghe's proposal for a private kitchen to cook hometown food, everyone's eyes lit up, and with Zhang Mingjie agreeing to treat them, everyone became even more enthusiastic.
They set off as soon as they said they would. Chen Jianghe led the group straight to the "Lan Kwai Fong" Cantonese private kitchen at the back door of CUHK.
After entering the restaurant, Chen Jianghe asked for a private room as if he was familiar with the place. Then he picked up the menu and ordered a table of dishes. However, he only ate a few bites before making an excuse to leave the room.
"Jiang He, the dishes haven't been served yet."
Qin Shaohai followed Chen Jianghe out of the box: "Where are you going? Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, I have some personal business to attend to." Chen Jianghe refused with a smile and walked away quickly. He was not very interested in the dinner party. He was able to trick Zhang Mingjie and treat his classmates to a good meal. This party was already a success. Next, he should attend to his own personal business.
At this time, Zhang Mingjie came out and pulled Qin Shaohai back to the box: "Don't worry about him, let's eat and drink well."
He said it lightly, but his heart was bleeding. The dishes he just ordered were enough for his living expenses for a month. It was obvious that Chen Jianghe was playing "Fighting Landlord".
Chen Jianghe lit a cigarette, strode back to Zhongda, walked all the way to the pavilion, tore off the recruitment notice of 9527, found a small store, called to ask for the company address, and then rushed over.
The company is located in a logistics park about 2 kilometers away from the east gate of Zhongda University.
After searching around for a while, Chen Jianghe finally found the exact location of the 9527 Company.
"Hello, are you here for an interview? Please register at the front desk."
The company's receptionist was a fat girl with two dimples when she smiled. She looked like the later popular female comedian Jia Ling.
Chen Jianghe simply registered at the front desk and then waited for about five minutes.
A middle-aged woman came out and asked him directly when she saw him: "Are you a student of CUHK?"
"no."
Chen Jianghe shook his head, and when he looked up, he saw that the middle-aged woman's face had turned cold, so he asked in surprise, "You only recruit students from CUHK?"
"Not really, it's just that our current business focus is on developing the Zhongda market. If you are not a student of Zhongda, I'm sorry." The middle-aged woman answered straightforwardly.
Chen Jianghe frowned: "Only students of Zhongda can develop the Zhongda market? Is this the company's rule?"
"The company has no regulations, but we recruit based on merit, and students from CUHK are our first choice."
"Of course, if you are good enough, we can lower the threshold appropriately."
The middle-aged woman brought out a set of official rhetoric, first taking a high-profile stance and then lowering her requirements, so that she could easily control the applicants.
"To put it bluntly, you just want to find free work, and get away with it for a while. If you can sign a contract, you can stay, and if you can't, you can get out, right?" Chen Jianghe said it all.
The so-called getting something for nothing, hiring free workers in the name of a probation period is a common tactic used by most companies today.
"Haha, the word 'freeloading' is too vulgar. Whether you are a full-time or part-time worker, there is a probation period."
The middle-aged woman laughed dryly and admitted it in disguise, adding: "There is no basic salary during the probation period, but there is commission."
Chen Jianghe didn't answer, but asked casually: "Do you have any students from CUHK working part-time here?"
"There is a very capable intern from CUHK who signed three contracts within seven days of joining the company."
The middle-aged woman said, "As long as you are good enough, it's easy to sign the contract."
"Sign three orders in seven days ..."
Chen Jianghe smiled and asked, "How do you calculate your salary?"
"Part-time jobs don't have a base salary, but if you sign a contract with a merchant, you get a commission of 100 yuan."
"Is this 100 yuan commission just for signing the order, or are there other indicators for assessment?"
"As long as you sign with a legitimate merchant and don't cheat, you can get a commission."
“Besides the commission, are there any other rewards?”
"As for rewards, you can talk to your boss directly when you sign enough orders. The same goes for subsequent regularization and promotion."
At this point, Chen Jianghe was too lazy to continue asking and said directly: "Go and get me 20 company business brochures and three contracts. I will report in tomorrow."
"By the way, does the company work normally on Saturdays and Sundays?"
The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, "Yes, business is always on the road. When others are resting, it is our busiest time."
Chen Jianghe smiled. The capitalists' rhetoric is always so fresh and refined. How many low-level salesmen have been fooled by the phrase "business is on the way" to be on call 24 hours a day, all year round? The daily routine of department managers is to sit in the office to look at data, brag at the table, and curse behind closed doors in the meeting room.
The middle-aged woman turned around and went back to the office. After a while, she came out with a stack of brochures and several standard contracts and handed them to Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe took these things and turned away.
The middle-aged woman watched him walk away, then walked to the front desk and looked at the interview registration form.
"Chen Jianghe, what a grand name."
The middle-aged woman looked at the flamboyant signature, muttered something, and turned back to the office.
Chen Jianghe walked out of the logistics park and returned to Sun Yat-sen University. Looking at the shops lined up along the street, he felt like a newly enthroned emperor touring the three thousand beauties in his harem.
"I will try to take you all down within a month."
Chen Jianghe was full of confidence. With a business promotion leaflet in hand, he strode towards the first restaurant stall on the left side of the street.
