Since magic already exists, isn’t it reasonable for there to be some other sci-fi events as well?
But just predicting commercial trends ahead of time—well, that’s not really a big deal, and honestly, anyone with a bit of business sense could probably explain those things away.
Besides, as long as Lin Guanqi clearly explains everything from beginning to end, there shouldn’t be any reason for suspicion.
Lin Guanqi had a hunch; she could sense that Bai Ningbing seemed to know something. For example, did she actually know Lin Guanqi was a transmigrator?
Bai Zhi and Bai Ningbing, the two sisters—one is exceptionally smart, the other exceptionally capable.
Between the two of them, not a single one is ordinary.
“Recruiting people? Isn’t that easy? Here, a lot of guys and some girls without magical talent are looking for work, and if you can guarantee them stable jobs, never mind a one-year contract, they’d be willing to sign on for half their lives.”
If that’s the case, then…
If she were in her own world, all the guilds would probably be fighting to have her, right?
After all, there aren’t many streamers this easy to work with.
“Ah? Really? But where do we go to recruit people? Even if we know all this, we don’t have any recruitment channels.”
Now Lin Guanqi understood, but where to actually find recruits?
“Aiya, just go straight to the talent market! Aren’t there lots of companies recruiting people there? If you go, you’ll definitely find someone.”
Bai Ningbing was clearly very familiar with the area.
“That’s right, Bai Ningbing, you really saved me!”
After saying that, Lin Guanqi got ready and headed for the talent market. And since this is a first-tier city, recruiting people isn’t so easy.
“No wonder it’s called the talent market, there are so many job seekers here!”
“Isn’t that right? Actually, in the beginning, there weren’t this many people coming here for jobs.”
“It was only after this one extraordinary person appeared and suddenly built this talent market. At first, everyone thought it was just for fun, nobody took it seriously.”
“Then, this talent market stayed cold for a while. But one day after it was established, it was suddenly used for campus recruitment. Countless companies heard about it and came here to hire, but that still wasn’t the real turning point.”
“Finally, when the domestic industry giants started recruiting here, that was the real game-changer.”
But finding a satisfactory candidate in the talent market is no easy task. Out of thousands of people, there are thousands of personalities and educational backgrounds, so it’s basically like panning for gold in a cesspit.
Recruiting talented people here relies entirely on the skill of the interviewer.
It’s no less difficult than hoping to see a Dream of the Red Chamber in a tomato web novel.
Lin Guanqi then found a spot and put up the promotional poster she had prepared in advance.
The poster introduced Lin Guanqi’s company.
The recruitment requirements were also clearly stated.
Basic positions: Associate’s degree or above.
Intermediate positions: Bachelor’s degree or above.
Management positions: Master’s degree.
These requirements looked tough—honestly, they really were tough.
For basic to intermediate positions, quite a few candidates came to apply, but when it came to management positions, nobody was interested.
After all, those with a master’s degree had long since found well-paid jobs. Why would they care about a mere startup?
Seeing that the candidates were of uneven quality, Bai Ningbing decided to pull out a trump card.
And it was a big one.
Bai Ningbing directly put up another poster on top of the original, which stated clearly:
[The Bai Group and Linbing Group have a deep partnership and will soon join forces to enter a new track.]
This news really had credibility. As soon as everyone saw it, they all seemed to get much more excited.
A number of job seekers crowded forward at once.
They handed their resumes directly to Lin Guanqi—even she was a bit stunned.
Is this even allowed? Still, there really was a partnership between the two groups.
So it couldn’t be called deception; after all, with the relationship between the two, how could it be called lying?
As long as Lin Guanqi agreed, everything under Bai Ningbing’s hand would be his anyway, right? So how was that deception? The two companies truly were collaborating.
“Damn, the Bai Group is a Fortune 500 company! They’re about to double their market value again. Partnering with them, this company must be powerful!”
“Exactly! If they’re working with the Bai Group, then I have to submit my resume.”
Just like that, a bunch of highly educated talents appeared—masters, PhDs, even those on combined master-PhD tracks.
Such talent was like Shanghai itself, suddenly appearing right in front of them.
Wait, is it really this easy to find people like this?
At first, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But with Bai Ningbing’s help, it was definitely no longer like that—the number of candidates suddenly multiplied.
Does that mean she herself was just that lacking before?
Even if she felt a bit indignant, she had to admit it was true.
Without Bai Ningbing, whether or not she could have found anyone at all was questionable.
“Why though? Why does their side get so many excellent recruits, while we can only get the oddballs? What gives?”
“What gives? Look at their setup, then look at ours! They have the Bai Group backing them. What do we have?”
“Think about it. Is the Bai Group joking around with you? That’s a Fortune 500 company, for heaven’s sake. You think any company can make it into the Fortune 500?”
“Exactly. If you were Fortune 500, you’d be attracting this many candidates too—all those masters and PhDs. If you’re not, then forget it.”
That person had been ready to get angry, but when he thought about his own lack of strength, he gave up on the idea.
With the scale of his company now, just hiring one master’s graduate would break his budget. If they all came, he couldn’t even pay their salaries—what a joke!
“Forget it. Never mind the Fortune 500. As long as I can make money, that’s good enough. Fortune 500? There are companies from so many countries on that list—me taking a bite out of that would be a pipe dream.”
“Exactly, even if you wanted to compete, you wouldn’t dare. So, just stop dreaming.”
“Fine, you’re right.”
He was angry, then got angrier still.
Sigh, this is just too discouraging.
“I wonder if my resume will pass your standards? I’m on a combined master’s program, and this is my classmate—he’s also on a master’s track. Plus, another of our classmates just returned from overseas. Does your company still need people?”
Need people? Of course she did.
How could she not?
But with their level of education…
Would they really not mind joining a startup like hers? Though she did have the Bai Group’s support.
