Chapter 1556: Chapter 747: Bring a Proof_2

The banquet hadn’t entirely adjourned, but it was only when Director Xu and others arrived that they learned Yan Fei and a few others had just left, leaving Director Xu feeling suddenly lost, with a mixture of emotions in his heart.

Yan Fei left because right after he sat down, he received a call from Heizi, saying that he was currently treating a bunch of workers from a leather factory at a restaurant. However, those workers felt that their group was too young and didn’t quite trust them, so they turned to Yan Fei for help.

At that moment, Yan Fei was very helpless. Heizi had brought along Xiaosong and a few others, all of whom were young lads in their twenties. A bunch of young people saying they want to recruit workers, boasting their enterprise so grandly, with such high pay, and even claiming they can help solve some life problems... The better they spoke, the less the old workers believed!

In the eyes of the old workers, the young lads seemed a bit too good at ’spraying’—’spraying’ means bragging excessively.

A few youngsters who haven’t even grown a full set of whiskers, boldly promising meals and accommodation plus a high monthly salary. That salary was higher than what they earned in their own units. Plus all sorts of miscellaneous benefits, claiming better treatment than those who work in government... Who would believe that?

Yan Fei complained at the dinner table right after hanging up the phone: "Nowadays, people judge by age when getting things done. I sent someone from our site to poach a few workers from the leather factory. I offered them such good terms, and those workers actually didn’t trust my people, thinking we were deceiving them."

Everyone at the table laughed at that. Wang Jiuming even asked, "Are you talking about Heizi and his group?"

When Yan Fei answered gloomily yes, Wang Jiuming supplemented with the ages of those people. The whole table imagined the scene of those young people explaining to a group of middle-aged and elderly workers, and laughed even more.

After everyone had their laugh, Wang Jiuming thought for a moment and said, "Well, we’re almost done with the banquet too. I’ll go over there and vouch for Xiao Fei’s group..."

Everyone burst into laughter again, and Senior Brother Zhao said, "Junior brother, it seems that being talented at a young age also has its setbacks! I have a suggestion for you: In the future, you can set a new rule at the factory, let them all grow beards, and then they’ll look older."

That was an idea, but it was definitely not feasible for the moment.

As soon as Wang Jiuming stood up, Senior Brother Xue got up too: "I can’t do this anymore either, can’t drink. I’ll follow Jiuming, at least I’m a teacher..."

"That’s perfect, let’s go together. I was about to talk to Xiao Fei about fertilizer issues on the way," Senior Brother Zhao, who was already standing up, said with a smile.

Another senior brother who lived not far from the leather factory also came out, and the few of them drove off in three cars headed straight for their destination.

Heizi did not choose a place too far away for treating the old workers of the leather factory, nor a fancy hotel, just a slightly larger ordinary restaurant. A large table inside was full, and Heizi was still explaining with a business card. Looking up and seeing Yan Fei enter from outside, he felt much relieved: "Look, I just made a call, and our boss is here too. This should prove our sincerity, right?"

The group of workers looked up, and seeing a group of people coming over, they all got up a bit reservedly. One of the older workers said to Wang Jiuming, "You must be Boss Yan, right?"

Yan Fei in front felt frustrated again. I’m standing right in front of you with such a big physique, and you can’t see me?

In fact, everyone saw him, but naturally ignored him—how could a big boss be a younger lad? They expected someone like Wang Jiuming, wielding a mobile phone and clutching a briefcase, a picture of a successful man.

Wang Jiuming laughed heartily: "If I say he’s the boss, you’ll surely think again, ’So young, must be a scammer, right?’ Haha, but he really is the boss."

Watching the group of middle-aged and elderly people’s astonished expressions, Wang Jiuming was extremely amused: "Actually, he’s also our junior brother from the university. I won’t say much more, this is my business card, take it and inquire. Also, this gentleman is a professor from Agricultural University, this is Boss Zhao from Red Maple Landscaping, and this one is from the Provincial Agricultural Technology Station. We are all brothers, just having a small gathering there, eating. Hearing that you didn’t trust these young lads, we came over to vouch for them."

The senior brother from the Agricultural Technology Station was also holding back laughter as he said, "So, we all came by car, and you can check our license plates to see where they’re from. Easy to verify, I assure you, we’re not impostors."

The three cars they drove here, except for the one that belonged to Senior Brother Zhao, the others were company vehicles—these days, being able to use a company car meant you were doing well, and few people bothered to question if it was against the rules.

In fact, after the few of them came over and explained, a group of workers already believed them seventy to eighty percent, but there were still detail-oriented individuals who held onto the business card, thinking they must ask around once they got back.

There was also a matter of mindset; for those workers who had been holding an iron rice bowl for decades, leaving Provincial City to work for a private enterprise was something that made them uncomfortable. It was only because Heizi and his group initially sought out people who had previously interacted with the leather factory that these workers were even willing to come to this meal.

Yan Fei only spoke after everyone else had finished: "I thought since we are dealing with each other for the first time, I should bring a few Senior Brothers here personally. From the beginning, I’ve dealt with your leather factory, and I’ve always been the one supplying the best materials. Now my business has gained some recognition in the province. These guys will be attending the National Commodity Trading Fair in the next few days, and they’ll stay here a bit longer, so you can ask around about us later, and then get in touch with them."

"As for the offered conditions, what they’ve said is as if I said it myself, a deal is a deal. No matter how much they promised, you don’t need to worry that I won’t honor it, I can definitely assure you of my credibility."

There was nothing much else to say; the point of this visit was not to make these veteran workers instantly believe in us, but to persuade them to inquire around—that would do.

Speaking of the drawbacks of the iron rice bowl, these old workers who had one basically only cared about internal matters of their companies. When it came to external news, they were very out of touch with society, except for national events reported on the news; they really couldn’t talk about anything else.

Yan Fei didn’t interfere any further with the rest, and after leaving, he didn’t ask Wang Jiuming to drive him any longer. He hailed a cab with Xu Xiaoyan and went home to enjoy the last moments of relaxation before school started.

The next day brought good news: Heizi said people had already started to contact him. Heizi was overjoyed; he felt that he finally didn’t let Brother Fei down and successfully recruited people from their secure jobs. Yan Fei, on the other hand, was very calm about it. Morning Glory Enterprises was no longer an obscure business, so it was normal to attract more people.

At that moment, Yan Fei was being lectured by Xu Xiaoyan, who was reminding him of things he needed to pay attention to when attending the university.

With righteous assurance, Yan Fei declared, "Wife, rest assured, I will definitely forge good relationships with my classmates... in the future, I’ll be counting on them to work for me!"

Xu Xiaoyan couldn’t help but laugh at that moment.

Yan Fei was serious. The Agricultural University was the most relevant institution for his cattle farm. When he first set his sights on it, he might well have had this in mind—to seek out classmates who were diligent, hardworking, professional, capable, and willing to work earnestly for him. Four whole years would be enough time for him to slowly select a sufficient number of talents from them, sending them to work in his enterprise.

The thought that he no longer needed to worry about a shortage of highly educated employees on his farm made Yan Fei’s smile so wide that he could hardly close his mouth.

Laughing, a sudden idea struck him: "Oh, wife, do you think we should set up a database on the computer or something to keep records for our classmates, and ask them after graduating if they would consider working in the countryside?"

Xu Xiaoyan’s classmates were about to graduate, and it was necessary to recruit a few legal talents for his enterprise. After all, they had both once considered running a ’mom-and-pop’ operation, but now that the business had grown, there was no need for the boss’s lady to go into battle herself, right?

"Right, besides setting up a database, we should also participate more in university activities. Didn’t you say there are alumni gatherings? Don’t skip those anymore, we should attend together..."

Beyond the talents from the Agricultural University and the Law School, he needed people in finance, economics, business and enterprise management... those were all areas he needed staff in! Lack of experience didn’t matter; at least they could start by checking for any shortcomings in Heizi’s team, serving as assistants or something.

As the company’s scale grew larger, the need for talent became more acute. Only by integrating with the student community could he find even more exceptional individuals!

Unbeknownst to many, Morning Glory Enterprises had created another ’miracle’: the boss and his wife were personally ’diving into universities’ in search of outstanding talents...
