Her name is Piao Hong, a very ordinary name. In fact, ten years ago, she was just an ordinary person as well. However, she dared to move forward, dared to fight hard, and she had her own ideals. All of this allowed her to hold the position of General Manager at Colorful Advertising Company over the past decade.
Cai Zi belongs to Futian Group, but in Cai Zi, Piao Hong can be considered a woman who stands on her own.
This successful woman, when she applied for a position at another subsidiary of Futian Group back then, was rejected by the interviewer simply because she was too young. At that time, it was the Vice President of Futian Group, another capable woman, even a girl younger than her named Ouyang Ruo. Piao Hong always remembered her name. It was as if Ouyang Ruo had recognized her potential like a talent scout discovering a gem, and that was how Piao Hong found her own stage at Futian Group.
So now, a smile appeared on her delicate face as a way to indirectly repay that girl who had once acknowledged and believed in her. She felt it necessary to keep Lin Feng around, at least to give this boy who dared to argue with the interviewer a chance.
After making her decision, Piao Hong quickly executed it. She pushed open the door and interrupted the interviewer's decision, then turned to Lin Feng and asked, "Young man, putting aside your diploma for a moment, as long as you have the ability, I am willing to hire you. But why should our company believe that you have the capability?"
"Uh... may I ask who you are?" Lin Feng was not in a hurry to answer this mature and refined woman's question; instead, he first asked for her identity. He needed to confirm who this beautiful woman was before deciding whether to respond, even though she looked like she might be the head of the company.
"My name is Piao Hong, and I am the General Manager of this company." Upon hearing Lin Feng's question, Piao Hong smiled. This young man was interesting. She introduced herself and stated her position in the company.
"Oh, so it's General Manager Piao Hong. It's an honor. You see, I admire your courage. You consider hiring someone capable who hasn't obtained their diploma due to special circumstances instead of dismissing me with some ridiculous excuse like others do. This just proves your wisdom and unconventional thinking." Understanding her identity, Lin Feng still did not rush to answer Piao Hong's question; instead, he spoke as if praising a colleague rather than showing the nervousness or reverence one might expect towards their future General Manager.
There was no helping it; although he had come out looking for work, certain aspects of Lin Feng's personality were unchangeable. Don't forget that while he claimed he was there for a job, he was actually there to poach talent. So some attitudes could be forgiven for their unconventionality; strictly speaking, he was an unprofessional business spy.
At this moment, he had taken an interest in this woman named Piao Hong—or more precisely, he admired her capabilities. In fact, not only did Piao Hong value Lin Feng's confidence, but Lin Feng also appreciated Piao Hong's uniqueness.
Lin Feng's approach to hiring was inherently unconventional; otherwise, he could have gone directly to Tsinghua or Peking University for recruitment. While not everyone there is necessarily talented, it is certainly one of the most concentrated places for talent in the country.
"You should know that I dislike flattery the most." Although Piao Hong appreciated Lin Feng's confidence, she did not like young people being overly ostentatious. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance; mastering that balance is indeed difficult. Lin Feng's earlier remarks had already begun to stray from "confidence" into "arrogance," which Piao Hong did not appreciate.
Piao Hong has a principle when it comes to judging people: she can admire someone like anyone else but will not do so blindly. In other words, she will not blindly admire someone just because she once appreciated them.
Unless this person truly had never disappointed her.
"Well, I know now I can tell you the answer to the question you asked me earlier. In one sentence, I can guarantee that after you try me out for a month, even if you want to let me go, you might feel a bit reluctant." Lin Feng was not actually flattering Piao Hong earlier, but since she misunderstood, Lin Feng naturally did not continue that line of thought and instead answered Piao Hong's question, or rather, Lin Feng said something even more audacious.
Lin Feng's statement, made in the capacity of a job applicant, could indeed be described as "audacious."
"Well, I appreciate your confidence. In fact, that's why I'm here to have this direct conversation with you. But do you dare to back up your confidence?" Piao Hong nodded. To others, Lin Feng's words might sound arrogant, but to her, combined with Lin Feng's expression when he said it, Piao Hong found herself somewhat convinced. However, just because she believed it didn't mean everyone else would. Therefore, she needed to provide an explanation to everyone or at least to herself. After all, believing in Lin Feng was based solely on her intuition and did not represent any so-called "fact." Yes, she wanted to give Lin Feng a chance, but she firmly believed that nothing comes for free in this world. If Lin Feng wanted an opportunity, he would also need to offer something in return.
"Well... since you've consumed my time, you need to pay up. I'm all ears," Lin Feng increasingly admired Piao Hong. This woman was not simple; she possessed insights that others lacked. It was precisely this quality that led her to choose to give Lin Feng a chance from the beginning. Furthermore, as a manager, she always carried a sense of responsibility. Just like now, she was also considering how to explain things to others—her subordinates.
"That's quite a theory, Lin Feng. I can keep you on and provide you with a platform to showcase yourself, but you must remember: if after a month you can't give me that feeling, then you're free to go without any pay for that month. In other words, you'll be working for the company for free." Piao Hong once again surprised Lin Feng with her words.
It should be noted that even as an apprentice, one would typically receive some form of living allowance; otherwise, working for a month without income would lead one to starve.
Of course, this was under the premise that Lin Feng was merely an undergraduate student who hadn't graduated yet. In reality, this wasn't a big deal for Lin Feng because he wasn't particularly concerned about this so-called salary; a few thousand dollars meant little to him.
Thus, after hearing Piao Hong's words, Lin Feng agreed without any hesitation; he simply did not believe he wouldn't receive his salary.
"Alright then, the first thing I need you to do is draft a contract between us within fifteen minutes. This is the bare minimum; I believe you can do it." Seeing that Lin Feng agreed, Piao Hong smiled brightly and began her first test for him. For an average office worker, completing such a task might be feasible; however, asking a college sophomore who hadn't graduated yet made the likelihood of success quite low.
"Let me borrow your computer." After Piao Hong made this request, Lin Feng had already gone through everything in his mind. With his photographic memory and strong mental power at this stage, his brain could be said to have expanded significantly. Thus, his understanding of everything was continuously improving. Just moments ago, in an instant, Lin Feng had already analyzed how to quickly and accurately fulfill Piao Hong's request. He even understood Piao Hong's psychological state after making such a request.
The reason behind this was twofold: first was to see if Lin Feng truly had the capability; second was to show everyone whether Lin Feng genuinely deserved an exception from her.
If Lin Feng turned out to be incompetent after all, then Piao Hong would have no choice but to admit she had misjudged him; there would be no need to wait a month—Lin Feng could leave right now.
It should be noted that what Lin Feng said was not "I can handle this role," but rather "I can make you reluctant to dismiss me." The difference between these two statements is vast.
In other words, Lin Feng had to perform exceptionally well.
What happened next left everyone present somewhat stunned.
His fingers flew across the keyboard, rapidly typing as words appeared on the Computer screen. Of course, this only proved that Lin Feng could type quickly, something any typist might achieve.
What was truly astonishing was that in just three minutes, a piece of paper began to slide out of a printer next to the Computer. When Lin Feng handed this paper to Piao Hong, exactly four minutes had passed.
"I'm sorry, I think this printer is a bit outdated," Lin Feng said with a look of dissatisfaction as he showed the contract to Piao Hong.
Indeed, if it weren't for the quality issues with the printer, Lin Feng believed he could have produced the contract even faster.
Ignoring Lin Feng's comment, Piao Hong eagerly took the contract from his hands. The paper still bore the fresh scent of ink, and it was a flawless contract. It clearly outlined the commitments and agreements between Lin Feng and Piao Hong, leaving no room for doubt.
The professionalism of this contract was nearly comparable to that of professional lawyers. Piao Hong knew that even the most skilled and fastest lawyers would need about thirty minutes to draft such a document, while Lin Feng had completed it in just three minutes.
This highlighted how demanding Piao Hong's expectations were and how exceptional Lin Feng's abilities were.
