Tang Xiu took out his phone and called Long Zhengyu and asked that question. After getting the answer he said, “I’ll have time tomorrow, so we’ll meet and talk about other things then.”

“OK, we’ve already analyzed a plot of land for the building and will soon buy it. So, we’ll go there tomorrow to take a look.” Long Zhengyu said.

“OK!”

The call ended.

Tang Xiu said, “Long Zhengyu said that after the building is built, it won’t be sold directly, but will be leased for renting and the rent dividends will be given annually. If someday the entire building needs to be sold, I still get 10% of the total selling price.”

With a look of disbelief, Kang Xia said, “Boss, why do I feel that Long Zhengyu and them are not buying a design from you, but rather giving you money intentionally?”

Tang Xiu was surprised and said, “You could tell?”

Kang Xia was speechless and pressed further, “Boss, I don’t get you. Don’t you know that Long Zhengyu and the bunch are intentionally giving you money?”

A trace of a smiling expression was exposed on Tang Xiu’s face as he said, “Those two friends of his from Beijing are very interesting. I have yet to see them. I even know nothing about them. They only relied on Long Zhengyu’s evaluation about me and want to befriend me. This 10% of the shares is their goodwill to approach me.”

“You what?”

Kang Xia was dumbfounded. She looked at Tang Xiu with a disbelieving and preposterous expression. Even in her dreams, she never dreamed of having to even hear such a reply. Just wanting to make friends, with at least 500 million yuan for goodwill only?

“Holy Mother!”

“God!”

Jack, the interviewing staff who had just replaced Kang Xia, turned his head and exclaimed with a worshipping expression on his face. While Kashif, who was reorganizing the documents at his side, also could not bear to exclaim in admiration.

Andy, who looked like a foreigner-doll, turned over her delicate small face and was also dumbfounded and tongue-tied as lights flashed over from her round eyes.

Little did these three know about Tang Xiu. They mainly knew him through the exchange between Tang Xiu and Kang Xia. But now, Tang Xiu shocked them so much, that even it birthed a strong admiration toward him inside their hearts.

Tang Xiu let out a faint smile and continued speaking, “Anyway, I’ve told you the matter. How are things going with your job recruitment here?”

Kang Xia shook her head and said, “We are only recruiting ordinary employees now. It would be best if we also find a few Department Managers and Assistant Managers. As for each Department Manager and the company’s other important positions, we have yet to recruit one. Andy can take charge of the Marketing Department, Jack is outstanding in managing the Planning Department, and Kashif is an expert at Logistics. They have been following me for several years and have made outstanding results. But for the amount of posts our company must have, it’s still far lower in between and we still need more…”

Tang Xiu said with a laugh, “Take it easy, no need to be anxious. As long as we give a high enough salary, I believe that there will be a lot of outstanding people with abilities who will offer their services and work for us.”

Upon hearing it, Kang Xia’s eyes quickly glanced outside for a few times and suddenly spoke in a low voice, “Speaking about talented people, I think I’ve found a good one. Take a look outside. Do you see that middle-aged-man with that down and out of expression? I know him, he’s a person I once admired.”

Tang Xiu said with astonishment, “Who is he? If he’s really good as you said, why would he come to the Job Fair to find a job?”

Kang Xia said, “I’ve heard some news about him. In the past he was in the United States, and he’s not only a genius in sales and marketing, but is also an IT expert. He once established a US high-end cosmetic brand and sold the product to the entire world and made the company’s asset multiply by thousands of times in a short span of 6 years. However, 5 years ago, he broke into some IT company’s internal system and stole the most confidential data the company had, and then got sentenced to prison. I don’t know when he came back to the country, nor do I know why he came to this talent Job Fair.”

Tang Xiu’s brows wrinkled as he replied in a low voice, “Such a talented person, but why don’t you directly invite him?”

Kang Xia shook her head and said, “I only know that he’s really good, but since he has some problematic aspects, I have my worries. So I’m going to clarify about those first before inviting him.”

Tang Xiu looked at the middle-aged man who lined up behind. He thought for a moment and slowly said, “How about I interview him?”

Kang Xia said with an astonishment, “You know how to interview?”

Tang Xiu said with a laugh, “Nah, but I understand human nature.”

Kang Xia shrugged her shoulders as she said with a smile, “Since the Big Boss wants to act personally, then please be my guest. I hope you can get a good talent, Boss.”

Time passed by.

In a moment, 20 minutes had passed by. When the down and out-looking middle-aged man sat on the interviewee chair and saw that the interviewer was replaced by Tang Xiu and Kang Xia, a trace of astonishment was revealed on his face. Then, he nodded at Kang Xia and said, “Chief Kang, have you been good?”

Kang Xia replied with a surprised expression, “You know me?”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “I heard a business genius was leaving Wall Street, so I did pay a bit of attention and know something about you.”
