The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1339 - 518: The Group (Part 2)

But the most outrageous thing was that the question asked most by all the job seekers was whether the "vehicle and housing allocation" marked under "employee benefits" was true.

Xu Wenqian and Lin Ran could only patiently explain over and over again, yes, but besides meeting the years of service, you also need to make certain contributions to the company, and there are some other hidden restrictions...

But no one seemed to be listening to this. Not only did it not seem like an empty promise, but even if it was, they could greedily accept it and go crazy over it.

Du Mengqi and others wanted to switch jobs, not just because they witnessed Zhou Wang’s financial power and strength, but because they were really attracted by these enticing benefits which seemed unique in Magic City.

Of course, offering good benefits also means that the recruitment threshold is actually quite high.

But in an international metropolis like Magic City, there’s no shortage of talent. After a week of recruitment, Xu Wenqian had become immune to titles like "Master’s" or "Ph.D.".

To put it bluntly, even the janitors sweeping the floors and the security guards at the gates are bona fide undergraduates...

As the group rounded the lobby, they entered a long oval corridor with opaque glass partitions on both sides, dividing the 55th floor into different areas. People could be seen coming and going from time to time.

Lin Ran stood in the corridor, in charge of guiding the process.

"Go straight for the Business Management Department, turn right at the third area, and report to Manager Zheng..."

"Hey, a few people come and move this potted plant a bit, it’s too obstructive here."

"The office of the Foundation is on the 56th floor, this is the 55th floor, you went to the wrong place..."

Seeing Jiang Qingkui and others appear, Lin Ran quickly came forward.

"Mr. Jiang, you’re here... Sorry, many people are starting on their first day, and others have come from Beidou and Ming City to report, so it’s quite chaotic."

"Sister Ran, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the sweat beading on Lin Ran’s forehead, Jiang Qingkui apologized, "Wenxi and I should have come earlier, leaving you to handle this alone..."

"No worries, it’s just a handy thing to do, as long as you don’t blame me for overstepping my bounds..."

With the new establishment of the group, Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian each have new positions, but Lin Ran is still, in name only, Zhou Wang’s assistant, without any position in the group, so she said this.

"Sister Ran, why don’t I talk to Mr. Zhou about you, your ability is so strong, and the group lacks management..."

"Oh, no need, no need, Mr. Jiang, please don’t mention this to Mr. Zhou, I don’t have that kind of ambition, I feel it’s quite good to stay by Mr. Zhou’s side..."

A startled Lin Ran hurriedly declined.

Although she once envied Jiang Qingkui’s glamour at the banquet, Lin Ran knows herself well and understands that her ability is not on the same level as Jiang Qingkui. In terms of following Zhou Wang, she’s far behind Xu Wenqian. So seeing the two of them ascend to high positions in the group, almost overnight, she really didn’t feel much jealousy.

Besides, things are pretty good as they are now...

Earning tens of thousands of yuan a month in salary and bonuses, occasionally receiving unexpected holidays—like recently, Zhou Wang hadn’t contacted her for over a week. If Lin Ran didn’t dare indulge too much and actively found things to do, she felt she might become idle.

Seeing Lin Ran wasn’t lying, Jiang Qingkui nodded and dropped it, but Xu Wenqian hesitated to speak.

She actually wanted to say to Lin Ran, why don’t we switch jobs, she’d rather follow the boss...

But she feared saying it would make her seem too pretentious, so she chose to remain silent.

Then Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian began their tour of the departments, mainly to see the status of each department’s setup.

Strategic Development Department, Investment Management Department, Business Development Department, Legal Affairs, Public Relations, Magic City Business Department, Beidou Business Department, Yunan Province Business Department, and the International Business Department and Hong Kong and Macau Business Department, established at Zhou Wang’s request, currently seeming useless...

At present, more than a dozen departments, though not fully staffed, have the group’s headquarters exceeding a hundred employees, which could be considered initially scaled.

"But what is most lacking is the management..."

Jiang Qingkui frowned, bringing up this topic with a bit of helplessness.

It’s not that management can’t be recruited; through headhunter companies and recommendations from acquaintances like Uncle Zhang, middle- and lower-level management has filled quite a few vacancies, ensuring the daily operations of each department are no problem, but higher-level management is almost entirely vacant.

Even though Xu Wenqian is temporarily holding the CFO and CHO positions, many high-level positions like COO (Chief Operating Officer), CMO (Chief Marketing Officer), CSO (Chief Strategy Officer), remain vacant, not to mention the vice president position to assist her in managing the entire group...

Mainly because these sensitive positions must be filled by trustworthy individuals, just conducting one background check is not enough for Jiang Qingkui to accept the candidates.

Precisely because Zhou Wang gave her full authority, Jiang Qingkui is even more unwilling to betray this trust.

But as the group begins formal operations, these positions must be filled; otherwise, even if Jiang Qingkui is on duty 24 hours a day, it’s impossible to handle everything...

This is just one of the many things troubling Jiang Qingkui recently; there are many more issues leaving her burned out, yet she never shows it in front of others.

Since Zhou Wang announced her as the group CEO that evening, she has lived under many people’s scrutiny, and in this period, she doesn’t even know how many times she’s been cornered by various media reporters. She must always look flawless...

After completing the tour, in the executive office area, Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian temporarily parted ways, and she entered her own office alone.

Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, more than 100 square meters of space, with an independent small conference room and lounge area, besides the reception area, there’s even a separate display area, which is a unique luxury on the 55th floor...

Originally, this largest presidential office was to be kept for Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang thought he wouldn’t spend much time in the company, so he let Jiang Qingkui have it. As Zhou Wang said, "I can use yours when necessary."

This seemingly subtly romantic remark really struck Jiang Qingkui’s chord; hearing it over the phone made her heart race, impossible to refuse.

It’s just...

"You let Wenxi design such a desk, how can you use mine later?"

Standing in front of the pink-themed desk, Jiang Qingkui couldn’t help but mutter. This style brimming with girlishness felt quite awkward for her, but since it was Zhou Wang’s idea, she could only try to get used to it.

"Who says men can’t work behind a pink desk? It’s the 21st century, how can there still be such stereotypes?"

A low chuckle came from behind her, and before Jiang Qingkui could react, powerful arms were already enveloping her waist.

Jiang Qingkui felt strange because she hadn’t experienced the process of bodily stiffness to relaxation; instead, she naturally accepted being suddenly embraced, even leaning back slightly, as if savoring this subtle moment. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"When did you arrive?"

Jiang Qingkui asked softly.

"Early on, I took a nap in the lounge."

Zhou Wang yawned, explaining, "I couldn’t say no last night, had a good drink with Young Master Zhang and the others, had a midnight snack at dawn, and came over after eating."

Feeling Zhou Wang’s hand on her soft abdomen slightly moving, Jiang Qingkui couldn’t help but press her lips together.

"Zhou Wang..."

"Hmm?"

"What are we now... exactly?"

Zhou Wang heard the words, suddenly froze in place.
