“Oh, you’re talking about that experience? Yeah, I saw it.”

Chen Mo smiled slightly at Yao Beiguo’s question.

Of course I saw it.

That’s the whole reason I came looking for you. Without that experience, do you really think I’d be here talking to you?

He thought this to himself but kept his tone calm and casual.

“You don’t need to be nervous about that. One failure doesn’t mean anything. Failure is the mother of success. Fail once, fail twice—eventually, you’ll succeed.”

“And you’ve already failed four times. Maybe the next time will be the breakthrough.”

“Besides, your academic background and management skills are solid. That’s why I chose you to be the manager of the Gaming Club.”

“………”

Chen Mo kept going, launching into his signature persuasive pitch.

As Yao Beiguo listened to President Chen’s words, he started to doubt his own self-perception. Was this really him? Was he actually this capable?

Looking at the young president in front of him, Yao Beiguo’s gaze began to change.

This President Chen might be young, but he was clearly the one who recognized his potential!

“So, what do you think? Do you want to take on the manager role?”

Chen Mo finished his pitch and looked up at Yao Beiguo, who was sitting across from him.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Yao Beiguo stood up quickly and bowed deeply.

“Thank you for your trust, President Chen. I’ll do everything I can to manage the Gaming Club well and live up to your expectations.”

“Hey now, relax. No need to push yourself that hard. Just do things the way you normally would. However you ran your previous club, just do the same here.”

Seeing the serious look on Yao Beiguo’s face made Chen Mo a little uneasy, so he quickly tried to ease the tension.

He thought to himself,

Come on, man. I didn’t bring you in here to have some kind of personal breakthrough. Let’s be realistic, alright?

“Understood, President Chen.”

Yao Beiguo sat back down, now with a look of genuine respect in his eyes.

“Since you don’t have any objections, how about we go ahead and sign the contract today?”

Seeing that Yao Beiguo had settled back into his seat, Chen Mo spoke slowly.

Once he got Yao Beiguo officially signed on, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Gaming Club anymore.

All he needed to do was clearly communicate his expectations, and Yao Beiguo would handle the rest.

“Of course, no problem at all.”

Yao Beiguo nodded eagerly.

Once the contract was signed, everything would be set in stone. He had no reason to say no.

“Great.”

Chen Mo nodded, then called for Shen Rou.

Shen Rou had already prepared all the necessary contracts the day before.

Not long after,

Shen Rou walked in holding a contract.

“President Chen, here’s the contract you asked for.”

Chen Mo took the contract from her and handed it directly to Yao Beiguo.

“Take a look. Let me know if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with.”

“Yes, President Chen.”

Yao Beiguo carefully accepted the contract. He didn’t have high expectations for the terms—so long as nothing was outrageous, he was fine with it.

After all, given his current reputation, most clubs wouldn’t even consider hiring him.

Now that someone was willing to give him a chance, what more could he ask for?

He slowly opened the contract and began reading.

When he got to the section on salary and benefits, he froze.

President Chen was offering him a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan. He hadn’t expected that at all.

Given the issues on his résumé, he thought the compensation would be modest at best.

But this was a flat 30,000 base salary—on top of that, there were numerous additional allowances and benefits.

“President Chen, is this salary correct?”

Yao Beiguo pointed at the salary section and looked up at the young president across from him.

“That’s right. Monthly salary of 30,000. If you want more, we’ll have to revisit it later.”

Chen Mo nodded slightly.

He had already standardized the base salary for all his company’s managerial positions at 30,000 yuan.

Naturally, the new Gaming Club manager would receive the same.

Thirty thousand a month was the maximum the system allowed him to offer at this stage. Any higher, and it wouldn’t approve.

Of course, this was just the starting salary. It wasn’t fixed.

It could be increased later, either through tenure or performance achievements, among other factors.

As long as those conditions were met, he could adjust the salary accordingly.

“No, President Chen, I’m not asking for more. Honestly, this salary feels like too much for someone like me.”

Yao Beiguo quickly waved his hands. He didn’t want President Chen to think he was greedy.

He skimmed through the rest of the contract.

Once he confirmed that everything looked good, he signed his name at the bottom.

“Then here’s to a successful partnership!”

Seeing the signature, Chen Mo reached out with a smile.

“A successful partnership.”

Yao Beiguo quickly extended his hand to shake.

“Alright then, now that that’s settled, let’s talk about the Gaming Club.”

“President Chen, please go ahead.”

At those words, Yao Beiguo immediately straightened up, his expression solemn.

Chen Mo slowly picked up the teacup from the table, took a light sip, then spoke in a calm voice.

“First of all, the name of this gaming club is BL Gaming Club. As of now, you’re the only member.”

“Which means, moving forward, there will be a lot of matters concerning the club that you’ll need to handle personally.”

“First on the list is choosing a location for the club. We haven’t settled on a site yet, so that will be your responsibility. In terms of size, it needs to be big. For now, I plan to enter seven different games, which means we’ll be forming seven professional teams. Of course, seven isn’t the final number. As the club develops, we may expand into even more games.”

“So, the size of the club is up to you to decide. My only requirement is: go as big as possible within reason.”

“Once the location is set, the next step is outfitting the club. For example, computers. This is a top priority. Equipment like computers is essential for professional players, so everything must be top-tier. Budget is not an issue.”

At this point, Chen Mo paused and looked steadily at Yao Beiguo.

Yao Beiguo had already started jotting things down in a notebook.

The pen and notebook had been handed to him by Shen Rou.

Once he finished taking notes, Chen Mo continued.

“Next is recruitment. We’ll need to bring in some supervisor-level management staff, coaches for each game, and of course, professional players.”

“I’ve already compiled a preliminary list of potential candidates. Here’s the file. Just follow the list and recruit as many as you can. Compensation is negotiable—get as many of them on board as possible.”

As he spoke, Chen Mo picked up a folder from the side and handed it over. He had selected the names himself the day before, creating a basic list. Shen Rou had then organized it, adding detailed profiles for each person.

“Some of the people on this list have already received invitations from us yesterday. A few have responded, others haven’t. From here on, it’s your job to follow up.”

“The ones we’ve already contacted are marked in the file. Take a close look.”

Seeing this, Yao Beiguo quickly accepted the folder from President Chen, curiosity rising in his heart. He was eager to see what kind of talent President Chen had chosen.
