It’s all luck

The sky began to darken.

Inside a barbecue restaurant, four figures were eating skewers and drinking.

"I never expected that in just over a year, every one of us would undergo such significant changes."

Wei Yan looked at the three people in front of him, feeling somewhat emotional.

"That's true. I never imagined before that I would become a branch manager; it still feels a bit surreal when I think about it."

Jiang Cheng shook his head with a smile; even now, it still felt a bit unreal to him.

Before, he was just a hardworking worker at the Garment factory.

"Hahaha, it really was unexpected. We, the workers from the Garment factory, have actually become managers. Brother Li has also gone from being a park manager to a branch manager."

Li Shen looked at the three people present, also feeling somewhat emotional.

"I wish I had joined the Mingri Group earlier."

Li Maode sighed.

"Alright, why talk so much? Let's have a drink."

Wei Yan raised his glass and made a toast.

The Li Shen, Jiang Cheng, and Li Maode before him had all known each other since before President Chen took over the Garment factory.

Today, they had nothing to do, so they gathered together to chat.

Soon, the four of them drained their glasses in one gulp.

"But despite all this talk, we owe our current achievements to President Chen!"

Li Shen set down his glass, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"That's right!"

Jiang Cheng chimed in.

President Chen's appearance had undoubtedly changed the fates of all of them.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't even know where they would be, let alone be able to gather together for a meal like this.

"By the way, Old Li, how is that Security Company of yours coming along?"

Wei Yan set down his glass and looked up at Li Maode.

Among the four of them, only Li Maode's company was still under construction.

"The land is ready, and construction has begun. According to President Chen's requirements, it will basically take a few months to finish all the construction."

"Once all the construction is finished, the next steps are renovation and recruiting new employees."

"Renovation is easy; I can just ask Wang Yang to handle it, I know that much. But the matter of new employees still needs careful planning."

Li Maode explained the current progress of the Security Company.

"Hmm, is there a problem with employee recruitment?"

Wei Yan heard Li Maode's explanation and identified an issue in his words.

The matter of new employees still needs careful planning.

This was what puzzled him; recruiting employees should be a simple matter, right?

You just set the recruitment numbers and requirements, and then you can filter based on resumes later.

It shouldn't require that much planning.

"There are indeed some issues. President Chen's requirements for the security personnel of the Security Company are not like normal security for a Complex or a mall. President Chen requires that the recruited personnel undergo training; only those with a certain level of combat effectiveness can be considered true security personnel."

"But the problem we are facing now is that everyone's physical constitution is different. If we use unified training, the final results will definitely be different. Also, if their constitution is too poor, it might take a very long time to train them."

"Moreover, the training will definitely have a certain level of difficulty, so we also have to consider whether the recruits have the perseverance to stick with it. There's also the health issue; before they enter the Security Company for training, we definitely need to conduct a full physical examination on the new recruits to ensure their bodies can support the training."

Li Maode briefly outlined some of the problems with recruiting employees.

Wei Yan and the others fell into deep thought after hearing Li Maode's account.

After a while, Li Shen slowly spoke: "Since we are recruiting security personnel, we don't need requirements like educational background. The recruitment method could include a physical fitness test."

"We can find a professional to design the test content. It doesn't need to be too difficult, but they must possess a certain level of physical strength to complete it."

"This way, we can at least ensure a baseline for the people we recruit."

"Hmm, that's a good method."

Li Maode nodded upon hearing this.

"I think we could consider recruiting veterans!"

Wei Yan stated his proposal.

"Veterans!"

Li Maode was taken aback and looked up at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan finished off a skewer of grilled meat in one bite and shared his thoughts.

"Yes, veterans. In terms of physical fitness, those veterans will definitely have no issues."

"There is another issue: the employment problem for veterans in current society. Many veterans, after being discharged, find that the skills they possess do not match the skills required by society."

"Therefore, after soldiers are discharged, it is difficult for them to find a suitable job. Soldiers are people worthy of respect, and it is truly disheartening that they cannot find suitable work after being discharged."

"But the Security Company established by President Chen is different. Veterans inherently possess strong physical fitness and high combat effectiveness; entering our Security Company will absolutely be no problem. Even for those veterans who have been discharged for many years, if their physical fitness hasn't declined, the training foundation is still there, and they are stronger than normal people, making training them a bit easier."

"And in a sense, this can be considered a form of public welfare, helping veterans solve their employment problems. Plus, the salary and benefits at Mingri Group will definitely not treat them unfairly."

"More importantly, President Chen himself has always been enthusiastic about public welfare. Doing this aligns with President Chen's philosophy."

Wei Yan patiently explained his thoughts. The matter of veterans was not just his random guess; he had such examples around him.

His cousin had been a soldier, and later, after being discharged, he couldn't find a job because he didn't have any professional skills.

later, he went to work as a food delivery driver.

"Brother Yan, this is really a great idea!"

Li Shen couldn't help but praise Wei Yan after hearing his idea.

Li Maode's eyes also gradually lit up. Wei Yan's proposal was truly brilliant. If all the security personnel were recruited from veterans, training would be much simpler for him.

Furthermore, if this kind of thing were exposed, it could also increase the reputation of the Mingri Group.

"Old Wei, I finally know why President Chen values you so much."

Li Maode looked at Wei Yan with a face full of emotion.

"It's all luck. And whether he values me or not doesn't matter. My current achievements were given by President Chen. Regardless of whether President Chen values me or not, I don't care. I just want to see the Mingri Group grow stronger bit by bit."

Wei Yan waved his hand dismissively.
