Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 287: Common People
At Hangzhou International Airport, Zhou Dongsheng walked out of the airport in a relaxed manner, with a beautiful girl following closely beside him. This handsome guy and beautiful girl combination attracted many passers-by to look at him sideways.
Hangzhou, a city with a long history, not only has the well-known beautiful West Lake, but also is home to some of the top Internet giants in the country.
Perhaps it is the historical heritage, or the influence of the thinking of major Internet companies, the city of Hangzhou is open and inclusive. It not only accepts the trendy Internet celebrity culture, but also vigorously encourages its development through policies.
Therefore, a large number of well-known domestic Internet celebrity MCN agencies are rooted in this soil and grow brilliantly, blossoming the flowers of new culture and making Hangzhou a well-known domestic Internet celebrity holy land.
There are even many young people who come to this place to pursue their dreams, continuing the glory of dream-chasing groups such as "Beijing Drifting and Shanghai Drifting". No matter which era, there are always dream chasers who are willing to do anything to pursue their dreams.
Zhou Dongsheng sighed a little. He didn’t have the time to appreciate the beauty of this city last time. This time, he must take a good walk around after finishing his business.
At least you have to see the popular scenery such as the Broken Bridge with snow and the beautiful West Lake with your own eyes.
"Boss, the car we called is here." The loyal and dedicated Li Jiana said considerately.
"Okay, let's go to the hotel first. When will the person we're meeting arrive?" Zhou Dongsheng asked casually.
"The meeting place is set at the hotel in the afternoon." Li Jiana smiled slightly.
The appointment with Jiang Yile is tomorrow, and the reason why Zhou Dongsheng came early is certainly not to show his sincerity in respecting talented people.
Instead, he asked a headhunting company to find a management candidate for Yi Nian Media. For the headhunting company, Zhou Dongsheng was an old customer.
Not only are they young and promising, but they are also full of courage. They have grown rapidly in just over a year. From Xu Kaidao to Li Jiana and Lu Sifang, there is a strong demand for talent. They can be said to be important customers with great potential.
Therefore, the headhunting company also attaches great importance to such potential stocks. This time, not only did they assign a dedicated person to contact them, they also worked very hard to find candidates. In addition, they even sent someone to bring the candidates all the way to Hangzhou to keep the appointment, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know much about this, but he always believed in "leave professional matters to professionals" and "don't use your shallow knowledge to challenge other people's jobs."
Therefore, they are willing to spend a lot when recruiting people. No matter how much the salary is, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the benefits they can get, right?
Moreover, as the business expands, even Zhou Dongsheng, who is very good at cheating, cannot take care of everything.
What's more, a reborn person only has 24 hours in a day. Zhou Dongsheng doesn't want to waste his precious time on trivial matters. It's more comfortable to be a hands-off boss.
It is enough as long as you keep the control firmly in your own hands. Fortunately, under the current social conditions, it is not difficult to do this as long as you are willing to spend money.
After all, this is also the bread and butter of professional law firms.
After about half an hour, the charming West Lake appeared outside the car window, and after a while, the car stopped in front of the Hyatt Hotel on the West Lake.
A hotel that offers a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. Now that he is here, Zhou Dongsheng will naturally not treat himself badly and directly booked a lake view room.
After checking in at the Hyatt Hotel, the two were quickly led to the room door by the waiter. When they pushed the door open, they saw the West Lake.
Moreover, this lake view room not only has a view of the West Lake, but also has a bathtub next to the window, so you can enjoy the bath while taking a bath. I just don’t know if the bathtub in this five-star hotel is as durable as my own…
Alas, I am indeed a vulgar person. Even when I come to the West Lake, my mind is still filled with those vulgar thoughts.
Fortunately, Zhou Dongsheng never felt that he was suited to the highbrow world. Forget about pretending to be cultured. It's good to be a layman.
"Boss, they are already on their way and will be here within half an hour." Li Jiana naturally had no idea about the little thoughts in Zhou Dongsheng's mind, and she still played the role of assistant diligently and conscientiously.
"I'm a little hungry. Let's go to the restaurant to eat something first. When they arrive, just call them over." Zhou Dongsheng said nonchalantly.
After all, the interview was led by him, so he had the final say on the rules. He could talk however he wanted.
A famous scene flashed through Zhou Dongsheng’s mind, “Sorry, if you have money you can do whatever you want.”
We arrived at the Hyatt restaurant and asked for a private room. Since we were in Hangzhou, we naturally had to try the famous Hangzhou cuisine.
"One serving of Dongpo pork, Longjing shrimp, West Lake vinegar fish..." Zhou Dongsheng happily ordered a large table of dishes, which he could also entertain his guests. Even if the deal fails, he can still show his kindness.
In fact, Zhou Dongsheng didn’t have to wait long. The people arrived before the dishes were even served .
A man pushed the door open with a smile on his face. He saw Zhou Dongsheng, whom he had dealt with twice before. The smile on his face became even wider. As soon as he entered the door, he raised his hands to greet him.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you. It's been a while since we last met, and you're still as radiant as ever..."
Zhou Dongsheng stood up and shook hands, then said casually, "Don't be polite. We are old friends. Let's have a simple meal together and chat while we eat."
Although Zhou Dongsheng didn't even remember the man's name, it didn't stop him from greeting him.
In the courtesy room , his eyes passed over this person and looked at the person behind him. It was obvious that she was the one being interviewed.
The woman was wearing formal attire, and was about thirty years old, with a mature and pretty face and a tall figure. When she approached, she gave people a feeling of being decisive and efficient. The image of a strong woman in the workplace was very vivid, and the word "strong woman" was almost written on her face.
And judging from the information provided by the headhunting company, this is indeed the case.
This woman's name is Xu Ruoan. She has extensive experience in the artist management industry. She has trained well-known artists and was the vice president of a well-known artist management company. She just resigned not long ago...
While Zhou Dongsheng was looking at the woman, Xu Ruoan also habitually looked Zhou Dongsheng up and down with a professional eye.
My first impression is that it would be a shame not to become an artist with such a good potential.
However, when he thought that he was the one being interviewed today, and not the one interviewing the artist as usual, he retracted his gaze and nodded in a friendly manner.
"Miss Xu, you're welcome. Please take a seat." Following Zhou Dongsheng's invitation, the two happily took their seats.
At this time, the waiter came in to serve the food. Compared with the interview, eating was more important to Zhou Dongsheng who was hungry.
"It's just right, let's have a meal first. I have long admired this Hangzhou cuisine, and this is my first time trying it..." Zhou Dongsheng said excitedly.
Then he took the lead and started to eat the food with great interest. The headhunter and Xu Ruoan looked at each other and could only follow the host's wishes, as they were also hungry on the way here.
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Dongsheng slumped down on his chair without any image, and said contentedly: "This Hangzhou cuisine is indeed as famous as it is said to be, the taste is absolutely amazing."
"By the way, Ms. Xu, could you please tell me why you left your previous company?" Zhou Dongsheng brought up the topic casually.
