#71

Chapter 71: The company is in urgent need of talent; I’m afraid only you can handle this.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dahai didn't beat around the bush and replied directly.

"Your old trade, driving. Eight thousand a month, with insurance and other benefits. Would I, Yang Dahai, ever steer you wrong with a job recommendation?"

"What do you think?"

"Are you telling the truth?"

Lu Pengtao looked at Yang Dahai, his eyes filled with hesitation.

Even when he was young, he couldn't have found a job with such compensation.

Now that he was older, would anyone really still want him?

"I'm working there right now; why would I lie to you?"

"May I ask, what exactly is the work?"

"Shuttle bus driver. There's a fixed route to pick up and drop off employees for their shifts."

"I'm just asking if you'll do it or not. Let me tell you, it's only because the boss trusts me and handed the recruitment task to me; otherwise, do you think such a good position would ever fall to you?"

Yang Dahai looked at Lu Pengtao with a serious expression.

"Alright, I trust you."

Lu Pengtao hesitated for a moment before agreeing directly.

He believed that Yang Dahai would not cheat him.

"That's more like it."

"This is the company's business card. Go to the company tomorrow morning to sign the contract."

Yang Dahai took out a business card and handed it to Lu Pengtao. He kept these cards ready in the vehicle, so he had grabbed one when getting out.

In the afternoon, Shen Rou returned to the company with the data she had investigated at the bus trading market.

"General Manager Chen, these are the prices and models for all the buses."

In the office, Shen Rou handed the organized data to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took it and glanced at it briefly; the price of large buses was generally between 800,000 and 1.3 million.

As for the smaller buses, he hadn't paid much attention to them at all.

After all, large buses could spend more money, and they had more seats, so the employees wouldn't be as crowded when riding.

After looking for a while, Chen Mo's gaze finally settled on a bus priced at 1.29 million. Whether in terms of price or configuration, this vehicle was top-tier.

But soon, Chen Mo realized a problem: the vehicle had been selected, but who should go to pick it up tomorrow?

Tomorrow, Shen Rou had to assist the finance department in handling the insurance changes for the employees at Cangxue Games, so she definitely couldn't go to pick up the vehicle.

So who should it be?

Unfortunately, Wei Yan was no longer here, and Cangxue Games also needed to purchase computer desks, chairs, and other items, so he likely wouldn't have the time either.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo suddenly thought of someone, and he also had a very good plan.

Not bad. This way, not only could he solve the problem of future procurement, but he also wouldn't have to worry about him causing trouble behind his back.

It was simply perfect.

"Xiao Rou, notify Li Shen to come over."

"Very well, Boss."

Shen Rou stood up and walked out of the office.

Not long after, Li Shen walked in from outside and, at Chen Mo's signal, sat down in front of the desk.

"General Manager Chen, do you have any instructions?"

"I want to discuss something with you."

"General Manager Chen, please speak. As long as you give the order, I will definitely complete it."

Li Shen straightened his posture, his expression extremely serious.

"Recently, the company has been developing a bit too quickly, and there is an urgent need for management talent in some areas. I have thought about it for a long time, and this position is one only you can handle."

"I wonder what you think."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he looked up at Li Shen.

Upon hearing General Manager Chen's words, Li Shen's eyes were almost moist. He hadn't expected that he would be so important in General Manager Chen's eyes.

He immediately took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"General Manager Chen, just give the order. Whether it's climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, I, Li Shen, can get it done."

Chen Mo watched Li Shen's reaction and felt secretly pleased; he could finally move this slacker elsewhere.

He cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"It's like this: with the establishment of the company cafeteria, along with the company's updates and development, there is a huge talent gap in the company's logistics support."

"Therefore, I want to transfer you to logistics. Due to the scarcity of talent, I'm afraid you will have to hold two positions."

"The positions of Procurement Department Manager and Life Services Department Manager."

"However, considering that you will be holding multiple positions, your salary will be adjusted from the previous ten thousand to fifteen thousand."

"What do you think?"

"General Manager Chen, I definitely have no problem with the Life Services Department, but procurement requires using a computer to make procurement forms, and I don't know how to use those office software programs!"

"I'm worried I'll mess things up."

Li Shen scratched his head, feeling a bit ashamed of the big talk he had just made.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was secretly delighted. Isn't this even better? He just liked this kind of inexperienced person.

"Li Shen, since I dare to put you in this position, it means I trust your ability."

"We shouldn't belittle ourselves. If you don't know office software, we can learn. You're still young; you have to be exposed to new things."

"Just go ahead and do it boldly. Even I, Chen Mo, am not afraid, so what are you worried about?"

"General Manager Chen, thank you. Since you've put it this way, if I, Li Shen, still don't agree, it would be too ungrateful of me."

"Rest assured, General Manager Chen, I will definitely do these two jobs well."

Li Shen stood up from his seat and bowed deeply to Chen Mo.

He felt that the luckiest thing in his life was meeting General Manager Chen.

"By the way, General Manager Chen, if I am transferred to the Procurement Department, then who will be responsible for the workshop?"

After sitting back down, Li Shen asked with some concern.

"I think Jiang Cheng is good, and I plan to have him take over your position."

Chen Mo said.

"Brother Jiang? That is indeed a good choice."

Li Shen nodded upon hearing this. Jiang Cheng had already been at the factory when he first joined.

He was honest and didn't like to talk much, but he was extremely serious and very meticulous in his work. Whenever a product passed through his hands, there were rarely any errors.

More importantly, he had worked in machine tool maintenance for a while when he was young, so now, Jiang Cheng could repair any faulty cutting machines in the workshop.

Moreover, a while ago, he had made a small modification to a cutting machine, so work that usually required three steps could now be completed in just two.

Production efficiency had increased significantly, and he was just about to ask Brother Jiang to modify all the cutting machines.

However, with him transferring to logistics and Jiang Cheng taking over his position, he didn't need to worry.

He believed that Brother Jiang would definitely be able to complete the modifications.

"Since you also feel there's no problem, then this matter is settled."

"Go back and call Jiang Cheng over; I will have a word with him. As for the handover of the workshop, you can discuss it yourselves; I won't interfere."

Chen Mo hadn't expected that Li Shen would actually agree with the choice of Jiang Cheng, which saved him some trouble explaining.

"Very well, General Manager Chen."

Li Shen stood up and left the office upon hearing this.

Not long after.

Jiang Cheng knocked on the door and walked in.

Just a moment ago, Li Shen had found him and said that General Manager Chen had something to discuss with him.

This wasn't a big deal, but the expression on Li Shen's face was truly too strange.

When he asked him what it was about, he wouldn't say.

He only said: "You'll know when you get to the office."

Could it be that his work had caused General Manager Chen dissatisfaction, or was there some change regarding the matter he had discussed with General Manager Chen that morning?

"General Manager Chen, are you looking for me?"

With a nervous heart, Jiang Cheng walked up to the desk and asked in a low voice.
