“Your academic background is simply outstanding, perfectly matching our company’s recruitment requirements. You’ve passed the interview!”
Lin Guanqi didn’t want to let go of any usable talent. After all, this was a time when she was short-handed—how could she possibly let someone slip away?
“Hello, I have a bachelor’s degree. Although my education is at the bachelor’s level, I have talents!”
Lin Guanqi furrowed her brows, then asked, “What kind of talent do you have?”
“Ah, Daoma, Daoma, Daoma!”
“Uh…”
Lin Guanqi was stunned by her answer. What kind of dance was that? It was so novel!
But since her company was an entertainment company, apart from the technical department requiring academic credentials, most positions really didn’t.
“With this, I think you’re a perfect fit for our company’s streamer position. Would you be interested?”
Upon hearing the word ‘streamer,’ the candidate hesitated.
Song Chen was straightforward, immediately revealing the base salary for the position.
“The salary I’m offering is an 8k minimum guarantee. If you exceed the base, we’ll pay you what you earn above it. If you fall short, we’ll make up the difference. What do you think?”
Hearing this, the terms really were quite good—almost catching up to the wages of those with higher degrees.
The reason Lin Guanqi offered such a salary was simple: for the streamer position, most people exchanged youth for money, so it naturally outpaced the pay of an office worker.
“Is the salary really that high? I’ve never received such a high wage before!”
“After all, for those of us without magical talent…”
“For those of us without magical talent, we all work in service industries. I haven’t tried streaming before—can I really do well?”
Lin Guanqi patted the candidate on the shoulder and said, “Of course you can. You’re someone I have my eye on. If you can’t do it, that only means I’ve failed at my job.”
Sitting in front of her was the most famous of the Twin Stars. Most likely, she didn’t recognize her, or perhaps hadn’t realized it?
At the Talent Market, everyone was busy searching for jobs. Who had the leisure to stop and admire beautiful things?
They could barely feed themselves—who had time to look at beauties? Was this person tired of living?
“Alright then. I’ll definitely do my best—I won’t let down your trust in me!”
Thinking back, in another world, she was the candidate in front of her, facing the boss herself.
She saw her own reflection in this candidate, but it wasn’t out of pity—she truly acknowledged the candidate’s ability.
She was looking for those with drive, not those only thinking about skating by on the minimum guarantee. Anyone feeling the pressure of life would certainly put in the effort.
“Good! I believe in you, and I’m sure you won’t let me down. Let’s do our best!”
“Yes! Let’s do our best!”
With that, Lin Guanqi had recruited her first streamer. The next wave of job seekers surged forward even more eagerly.
“Hello, I’m here to interview for the streamer position!”
This was a young man—by appearance, the sunny youth type. Such a person was well-suited for streaming, but the resume and interview process still had to be followed.
“Are you still studying? Are you a student!?”
Lin Guanqi was surprised. What was a student doing causing trouble at the Talent Market?
The young man quickly explained.
“I’m not. Our school sent us out for internships, so we’re basically graduates, not currently enrolled.”
So, he was an intern. That reminded Lin Guanqi of her own internship days.
“I see. Please introduce yourself briefly. No need to focus on school matters—here, we only care about ability.”
“My name is Lin Rui. I’m from XX and a student from the Performing Arts Department. I’m applying for the streamer position because I’ve already done this on campus. This is my Yinfu account.”
Lin Rui handed his phone to Lin Guanqi.
It was indeed his Yinfu account, as the real-name system couldn’t be faked.
The content was personal daily life, but with 100,000 followers and impressive views on every video—wasn’t this a natural Sacred Physique for Bringing Goods?
Though Lin Guanqi was thrilled inside, her face showed nothing.
“Alright, I understand your situation. But I still have one more question for you: if you had to choose between bringing goods and entertainment, which would you pick?”
Lin Rui knew this concerned his future development, so he considered it carefully.
“If possible, I’d choose bringing goods. After all, when it comes to entertainment, I don’t have any particularly funny acts, so I probably wouldn’t achieve the effect of a real show.”
There was no problem at all with this answer.
“Alright, the interview is over. I’m very happy to welcome you to the team. After you officially join, we’ll assign you a dedicated operator and give you an 8k base salary. How about it?”
Lin Rui had never seen such a high base pay before.
At first, he’d only played on Yinfu for fun, but now, he couldn’t believe it could be monetized. There was nothing more delightful than this news.
“Great, I have no problem! Thank you!”
Next came the operator interviews. For these, Lin Guanqi was even more stringent than usual. In an entertainment company, operators were the company’s lifeblood—she couldn’t take this lightly.
“Hello, I graduated from XX University, with a bachelor’s degree in media.”
“I’ve previously planned and successfully executed a project.”
She then gave a self-introduction, but Lin Guanqi didn’t put much stock in that. The reason was simple: succeeding once didn’t guarantee a repeat.
“Alright, I’ll just ask you two questions. If you can answer them both, I’ll welcome you to the team.”
“Okay.”
“First, what do you think is the difference between an entertainment streamer and a bringing-goods streamer?”
“I believe bringing-goods streamers focus on promoting products and achieving monetization, while entertainment streamers need to take care of the audience’s emotions.”
Her answer was spot-on.
But the Q&A wasn’t over.
“And one more: if I give you an account and have you start from zero, how long do you think it would take you to monetize it?”
She didn’t dare brag here, since this might well be her first assignment after joining.
“I’d probably need about three months. I’d need to test the account and handle distribution. If there’s traction, I could monetize quickly.”
Though this was all theoretical for now, her foundation was solid, and Lin Guanqi admired her.
“Alright, welcome to the team!”
