Chapter 20: Hiring

Chapter 20

"State your name, age, and the post you are applying for." Wei Jun spoke as the three candidates in front of him only listened. They nodded and replied one by one, "Xu Rong, 31, Manager." "Ka Kong, 28, Manager." "Hu Hai, 21, PR."

Wei Jun nodded as he read their resumes. After a thorough interview, the first two interviewees were asked to leave while the third one was hired on the spot.

"State your name, age, and the post you are applying for." Wei Jun said the same line as the next three candidates came in. One of them was a male bodyguard, who was hired. The other two were applying for management but only one of them was hired.

Now Wei Jun had one person for each department. However, the applicants kept coming in. They never ended even though the day came to an end. After all, a branch company of one of the most influential companies in Yuan Yin city was hiring. Everyone who could, came to try their luck.

The interviews ended for the day. Wei Jun now had three PR staff members, eight managers, and four bodyguards. There were also auditions for actors but none of them piqued Wei Jun's interest.

Just as he was about to end, a girl forcefully entered the room. Wei Jun was slightly offended and he said, "The time for interviews is now over. Come back tomorrow."

The girl didn't listen though. She gave her reason, "Sir, I'm not a resident of Yuan Yin city. I have to go back to Xon Huan City today if I don't get a job. Please."

Wei Jun wasn't a monster so he nodded. "Very well. I can spare a few minutes. What post are you applying for?"

"I have majored in marketing so I will be applying for PR." She enthusiastically replied. Wei Jun skimmed through the resumes to find her resume but there wasn't any. It seems she was there for an uncalled interview.

"State your name and age. Also, there is a page over there. Read the situation and tell me how you will handle it?" Wei Jun decided to give her a shot even though there was no resume.

The girl began to introduce herself, "I'm Quan Kui. I'm twenty-two years old. I graduated at the top of my class with a GPA of 4.9."

Quan Kui properly introduced herself before picking up a page. After giving it a read, she asked, "Do I have to do this?" She was confused. She was applying for PR so why did she have to do that?

Wei Jun didn't notice that detail and simply replied, "Everyone has to do that. I need to see if you are fit for this entertainment company."

Quan Kui wasn't satisfied with the answer but she still chose to do it. She picked up the page and began, "What are you doing?" In an angry tone. Then her expression and tone changed as she said, "Love is nothing but a waste of time to me."

"No, no--" Wei Jun was about to interrupt when he saw that Quan Kui wasn't reading her own requirements but the dialogues prepared for the actors who came to audition. However, he stopped when he noticed how flawlessly Quan Kui was saying her dialogue. There was no hitch in her voice. Her voice was calm and changed according to the situation. Same with her expression.

'She's a natural.' He thought inwardly before he said lightly, "Found her. My heroine."

The interviews the next day also came to an end. The PR members were now five. The managers were now eleven and as for the bodyguards, there were now eight of them. As for the actors, there was only one who was standing in a corner, sweating like crazy. 'I came for the PR then why acting?'

Quan Kui was puzzled at Wei Jun's decision regarding her. She wanted to ask why but she was hesitating because of her circumstances. She couldn't afford to go back so all she could do was just go along with it.

'This is a chance. I must not waste it.' She inwardly decided as Wei Jun entered the office. The building was now operating normally. Wei Jun had asked the managers to be on standby while the PR team was tasked to make designs for the movie he was planning. Also, they were doing subtle advertising.

As for the bodyguards, they were all sent to the Ruan villa. They were sent there to train themselves in Wei Jun's gym. He had also thought of teaching them some defensive martial arts. Some of them were already experienced but not so much when it came to professional fights so he wanted to turn them into proper shape before he handed them work.

That left only one more hired person. The sole actress, Quan Kui. "So sorry to make you wait." Wei Jun spoke as he took his seat in front of Quan Kui.

"Not at all. I know you are a busy person." Quan Kui politely replied. Wei Jun nodded and without further useless chatter, he slid across a file on the table towards Quan Kui. Quan Kui took the file curiously. Inside there was a stack of about ten pages.

"This is the contract my agency will be offering you. I would like you to give it a thorough read and let me know if there are any complications. As an overview, I will tell you the main points." Wei Jun stopped to let his words sink in and once he was sure, he continued, "The contract lasts for five years. During those five years, your monthly pay would be 100,000 Yuan. Your working hours would be nine to five daily along with shootings of desired times. Whatever you earn from commercials, my agency would take half of it while the rest of the half would be yours. In these five years, you won't be allowed to go outside the city unless very important. You can't have a public relationship and if you already have one, you must end it. You cannot take part in any other serial or film." Wei Jun kept on going for ten minutes while poor Quan Kui listened with her mouth open, stuck on only one point, '100,000 Yuan.'
