Chapter 136 Overwhelmed with Resumes

Having temporarily completed the main framework of the script, Pei Qian felt satisfied.

At this rate, he could add a few more details tomorrow and hand it directly to Huang Sibo and the others.

"Alright, my work for today is pretty much done. Time for a break!"

Pei Qian habitually opened Aili Island, ready to start binge-watching.

He hadn't watched for long when there was another knock on the office door.

Pei Qian looked up and saw Assistant Xin.

"President Pei, our company email is about to explode. The Human Resources Department is currently busy screening and archiving, but because there are too many resumes, we urgently need to establish a screening standard."

Assistant Xin looked at Pei Qian, the unspoken meaning being, "Only you can determine this screening standard."

Pei Qian: "???"

President Pei, who was about to happily binge-watch dramas, was filled with astonishment.

Email about to explode?

How could that be!

The highly vigilant President Pei instantly smelled a whiff of something bad.

He quickly opened the company's corporate email on his computer and found a large pile of unread emails in his inbox. The red number "999+" was extremely conspicuous!

"This... what's going on?" Pei Qian was a little dizzy.

Assistant Xin smiled and said, "It should be the effect of the official interview and your internal letter."

"You'll understand if you check the trending searches on Weibo."

"But the immediate priority now is to determine a screening standard first. After all, with so many resumes, we definitely won't have enough manpower if we have to arrange interviews for everyone."

Pei Qian fell into a brief daze, waved his hand after a moment of silence, "Okay, you can go out first. I'll call you when I've thought it over."

Assistant Xin nodded and left.

Pei Qian felt that this was not so simple. It was definitely not a problem that could be solved by setting a screening standard. He quickly opened Weibo.

As a result, when he looked at the trending topics list, the topic #TengdaInternalLetter# was ranked seventh!

"What's going on?!"

"I clearly posted it on the internal network, how did it get on Weibo's trending searches??"

Pei Qian had almost forgotten about this.

The original intention of sending this internal letter was nothing more than to encourage his employees to slack off and slack off more, to reduce his burden of losses.

The effect after posting it on the internal network was average, and many employees were still singing his praises, which disappointed President Pei very much.

Therefore, Pei Qian no longer paid attention to this matter.

He never expected that the next time he saw this draft, it would be on Weibo's trending searches!

Pei Qian quickly clicked on it and found that his internal letter had been turned into a long screenshot and was being frantically reposted by netizens.

Looking at the netizens' discussions, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Am I seeing things? Did a boss really post this kind of internal letter?"

"You can't believe a single word capitalists say... Huh? Why is this not quite the script I imagined?"

"I'm so moved, how can there be such a good boss? Give me a dozen!"

"This is actually Tengda's internal letter? Is Tengda still hiring? I'll take a pay cut to go!"

"Don't be fooled, everyone. I think this is hype! Even if this internal letter is real, it's probably just to build a persona!"

"But my friend is a Tengda employee, and Tengda's benefits are indeed enviable, it's true!"

"Someone said this is building a persona? Then please, other company bosses, build one too! You can also build a persona, you can also hype it up, dare to send such an internal letter?"

"Hey, has anyone noticed that this open letter seems to be copied from a previous open letter, that 'Work Hard to Live a Better Life'!"

"It's true, it's all reversed? Is this deliberately sarcastic?"

"Oh my god, this is so funny, I'm a fan of this boss!"

"Damn, say no more, I'm going to send my resume to Tengda!"

The reaction of the silly netizens on Weibo was so enthusiastic that Pei Qian was caught off guard.

When this internal letter was posted on the internal network, it did cause some reactions, but it didn't become popular to this extent at all.

Although that pinned post has always been hanging on the internal forum and there are new replies every day, most employees just got a little motivated after reading it, and then it was over.

Because those who can access the internal forum are all Tengda employees, like Hao Qiong, they are already used to Tengda's generous benefits.

Therefore, everyone felt very fresh when they saw this internal letter, but they were not too moved. After all, everyone knew that President Pei was such a good boss.

But on Weibo, the situation suddenly changed!

Where had the silly netizens on the internet ever seen such a wonderful company or such a wonderful boss?

The official platform's interview had already praised Tengda, causing some reaction. Now, with an internal letter, Tengda's image was completely established in the hearts of many netizens!

Up to now, most players' impression of Tengda is:

The boss is a talent scout and is very good at discovering talents;

The employees are very good, the internal atmosphere is active, and there is no strict hierarchical system like in big companies;

The welfare benefits are excellent and they will not exploit employees;

So far, Tengda's industries involve many fields and they are all doing well.

Another very important point is that Tengda is in Jingzhou City, which is a second-tier city, with good supporting facilities and not as much living pressure as a first-tier city.

Combining all these factors, Tengda has suddenly become a hot commodity in the eyes of many job seekers!

As the saying goes, it's not that you don't know good goods, it's just that you're afraid of comparing goods.

When the bosses of other companies are all touting the spirit of struggle, wolf culture, and that 996 is a blessing, the boss of Tengda is completely going against the grain, telling employees to rest more and take care of their bodies in the internal letter.

This undisguised humanistic care made many employees in other companies feel moved to tears!

As a result, many people on the internet became Tengda's voluntary water army, frantically saying good things about Tengda on Weibo. Some were even more direct and started sending resumes to Tengda!

After a few days, Tengda's corporate email directly exploded, with 999+ emails all being various job applications.

Pei Qian thought that the official interview would cause some bad consequences, but he didn't expect it to be so serious!

Looking at the 999+ emails in the mailbox, Pei Qian had a headache just like the HRs in Tengda's Human Resources Department.

However, the reasons for the headache were different.

The HRs were simply having the happy troubles of having so many people squeezing their heads to run to Tengda, making it easier to select outstanding talents.

But President Pei was relatively stiff.

He didn't mind hiring more employees, but what if there were some big shots among these people? If they easily carried a project that was originally losing money, wouldn't President Pei vomit blood?

However, it would not be appropriate to directly reject all these people.

Tengda is not the small, transparent company it used to be. There must be many people watching it.

If people found out that Tengda only wanted garbage employees and didn't want any outstanding talents, would anyone suspect Tengda as a company or President Pei's motives?

Pei Qian couldn't let too many people suspect his motives, nor could he let too many people suspect the existence of the system itself or challenge it.

"The problem of recruiting employees must be solved properly, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

Pei Qian thought that Tengda was already a big company.

In the future, with the expansion of business, more and more employees will be recruited, and Pei Qian can no longer do it himself and personally select them as before.

Then, the HRs will definitely continue to discover those outstanding employees.

Wouldn't there be more and more people who would betray President Pei?

Who could withstand this!

"I have to find a way to screen out more slackers as much as possible."

"Too many outstanding employees are gold that can shine anywhere. If they come to Tengda, they will definitely stab me in the back like crazy. I can't withstand it. If I don't hire these people, let them shine in other companies, and it won't waste social resources."

"Employees who are too trashy are too conspicuous to hire. Some particularly stupid people may even cause big news, which is not in line with Tengda's low-key temperament. It's best not to hire them either."

"Therefore, think of a way to recruit a group of mediocre people, like slacker Lao Ma. They will honestly do whatever the superiors say, as long as they point in the wrong direction, they can guarantee losses."

"Yes, that's right, think of a way to screen out the slackers!"

Pei Qian quickly thought about countermeasures.

Half an hour later, Pei Qian called Assistant Xin over.

"Send out an announcement to tell everyone that Tengda does not have a large-scale recruitment plan at the moment. For those resumes that have already been sent, let the Human Resources Department create a talent pool, store them first, and talk about it later."

"In the future, Tengda's recruitment will be on the right track. During this period, I will let the Human Resources Department formulate a general selection standard, and Tengda will select talents regularly and periodically according to this standard in the future."

Assistant Xin made a record.

"President Pei, the Human Resources Department has already screened out a group of good seedlings. The resumes look very good, from all fields. Do you want to arrange interviews for these people first?"

Pei Qian flatly refused: "No!"

"A resume written beautifully does not necessarily mean that their actual ability is strong. Now that Tengda is a hot commodity in the eyes of many job seekers, there must be many people trying to fish in troubled waters among those who submit resumes."

"We have not and will not select talents solely based on a resume in the past! What's more important is their actual ability."

Assistant Xin nodded: "Yes, it is true that resume fraud is quite common now. Since President Pei you have a better selection method, then let's do it your way."

Xin Hailu also knew very well that President Pei had always been unconventional in selecting talents. Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, and others were all promoted from the bottom, and the facts proved that they were rare talents.

Since President Pei didn't like these job seekers with overly glamorous resumes, then so be it.

Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and a backstab that was close at hand was avoided.

Assistant Xin added: "However, President Pei, recently various departments have personnel expansion plans, and there must be a group of people to fill these vacancies."

Pei Qian thought for a while: "Okay, the departments that urgently need to supplement manpower can discretionally recruit a group. If the departments that do not lack manpower, do not recruit 'reserve talents'."

Assistant Xin nodded: "Okay."

Pei Qian asked: "Who is the head of the Human Resources Department now?"

Assistant Xin: "Little Hao."

Pei Qian blinked: "Which Little Hao?"

Assistant Xin: "...Hao Yun."

"Oh, it's ta." Pei Qian pretended to be "I'm very familiar" but actually hadn't heard of it at all, and didn't even know if this person was male or female.

This can't be blamed on President Pei for not caring about the employees. The key is that he has too many employees under his command now.

The Human Resources Department is an insignificant department in President Pei's eyes, so he doesn't have the leisure to remember who is who.
