Chapter 314 - The Recruitment Mailbox is Full! (1/2)
Since Pei Qian was done with the script’s general framework for now, he felt satisfied. Looking at the way things were going, Pei Qian would only have to add a couple more details tomorrow before tossing it to Huang Sibo and the others.
“Alright, I’m almost done with my work for today. I’ll take a short break!”
Out of habit, Pei Qian accessed Aili Island and prepared to catch up on shows.
A short while later, there was a knock on his office door. Pei Qian looked up to see Assistant Xin.
“Boss Pei, our company’s email inbox is almost filled with emails. Our colleagues in the human resources department have been busy sorting them out and moving them to the relevant folders. However, too many people are sending in their resumes. We need to come up with a way to shortlist them as soon as possible.”
Assistant Xin stared expectantly at Pei Qian. Her words had a clear meaning: she was telling Pei Qian to come up with some criteria to shortlist the applications. Pei Qian’s mind was filled with question marks. Pei Qian, who had been prepared to chase his shows happily, looked flabbergasted.
The inbox is almost filled?
How can that be?!
The extremely cautious Boss Pei immediately detected signs of danger. At once, he accessed the company’s email inbox using his computer and found that there were indeed a ton of unread emails. The red number beside the inbox indicated ‘999+’ emails!
“What… is going on?” Pei Qian felt light-headed.
Assistant Xin smiled subtly. “I think this is a result of your exclusive interview with the official platform and your internal letter.
“Take a look at the hot searches on Weibo, and you’ll understand.
“However, this matter is urgent. You should come up with some shortlisting criteria first. After all, there are so many resumes. If we arrange to interview all of them, we won’t have enough manpower.”
Pei Qian was momentarily stumped. After a while, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, get back to work for now. I’ll tell you when I’m ready.”
Assistant Xin nodded and walked out.
Pei Qian felt like there was more to this than met the eye. He could not solve the underlying problem by simply coming up with some shortlisting criteria. He quickly accessed Weibo.
In the end, he found ‘Tengda’s internal letter’ ranked seventh on the hot searches chart!
“What’s going on?! I posted my letter on the intranet. How did it end up on Weibo’s hot searches?!”
Pei Qian had almost forgotten about his letter altogether.
His intention in sending the internal letter had only been to encourage his employees to skive off and slack more, in order to ease his loss-incurring burdens.
Yet, it only proved marginally effective after he posted it on the intranet. Several employees even resorted to bootlicking him in the comments. Boss Pei had been very disappointed.
Thus, he decided not to pay attention to it anymore.
He never thought that the next time he saw the letter would be in Weibo’s hot searches!
Pei Qian quickly clicked it and realized that his internal letter had become a longshot, which netizens were sharing rapidly. After seeing some netizens’ discussions, Pei Qian’s heart grew colder. “I’m not seeing things, am I? Is this really a boss’ internal letter?”
“Don’t believe anything a capitalist says… eh? Why is this so different from what I imagined?”
“I’m moved to tears. Where can we find such good bosses? Give me a dozen!”
“This is Tengda’s internal letter? Is Tengda still hiring? I want to work there even if it means I have to take a pay cut!”
“Don’t fall for this trap! I think it’s a scam! Even if this internal letter is real, it’s probably a set-up!”
“But a friend of mine works at Tengda. Tengda’s benefits and welfare are indeed so good that even I’m envious. It’s true!”
“Did someone say this is a set-up? Other bosses can do the same! You can create similar set-ups and pull similar stuntswould you dare to post an internal letter like that?”
“Eh, did anyone realize that this open letter seems to be a copy of another open letter? It was titled ‘You Have to Work Hard for a Better
Life’!”
“That’s true. He said the opposite of that letter? Was he mocking that letter on purpose?”
“Oh, my goodness, this is too comedic! I’m a fan of this boss!”
“Holy sh*t, I’m not going to say anything more! I’m going to send my resume to Tengda now!”
The entertaining netizens were responding too well to Pei Qian’s internal letter. He had not been prepared for this at all.
When he posted this internal letter in the Intranet, it had achieved the opposite effect, but it had not been this popular.
The sticky post remained in the internal forum, and new replies were being uploaded every day. However, most employees only felt more motivated after reading it and then moved on.
That was because only Tengda’s employees had access to the internal forum. They were probably like Hao Qiong and very used to Tengda’s generous treatment.
Thus, even though the internal letter was novel to them, they did not feel too moved. After all, everyone already knew how good of a boss Boss Pei was.
However, the situation was completely different on Weibo!
Of course, the netizens had never come across such a divine company and boss before!
The official platform had already praised Tengda in the exclusive interview, thereby improving its public reception. With this internal letter, Tengda was going to permanently reside in the hearts of many netizens!
Until now, this was what most gamers thought about Tengda:
Its boss was like Bole, excellent at scouting talents.
Its employees were all outstanding. The atmosphere in the company was free and lively, and it was not as hierarchical as other large companies.
Finally, the benefits were good, and the company did not exploit its employees.
By now, Tengda had ventured into various industries and performed very well.
There was another important point. Tengda was located in Jingzhou City, a second-tier city. Not only were there good facilities, but the pressure-cooker environment common in first-tier cities was also absent.
