Chapter 16: Fresh Blood

Monday's proposal arrived as scheduled, and Lin Daqi was worried that something would go wrong and accompanied Chen Erdong to go with him. After the proposal, it can be seen that Mr. Qiu is satisfied with the plan of the second draft of Big Ear Media, although the results were not announced immediately, but the two of them already have a vague answer in their hearts.

However, with the experience of the previous interview with Yongteng, this time Chen Erdong behaved very calmly, deliberately suppressing his desire to win, and he didn't want to come again, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Fortunately, this time, they really won, and the next day Siwei notified them.

As there are more and more businesses, the volume and difficulty of the business have also increased, and a new problem has been placed in front of them, which is a shortage of manpower.

If you want to recruit externally, not to mention whether their small company can attract talents, a series of human resource problems such as social security and salary structure alone are already very nerve-wracking, but if there is no personnel to supplement as soon as possible, they really do not have the ability and energy to deal with these businesses.

In fact, since they started their business, they have become the focus of their classmates and friends. In 2006 in China, the entrepreneurial craze was not so hot, and almost all of the fresh graduates were mainly looking for jobs, including Chen Erdong and Lin Daqi.

Chen Erdong set his eyes on his college classmates, and the first thing that came to mind was Fu Huayong, who was the eldest son in the family, and had two younger sisters, who relied on his parents to work in Guangdong to make ends meet.

Fu Huayong was very hardworking, Chen Erdong often slept in the dormitory, but he refused to miss any class. The relationship between roommates is closer than that of classmates, and Chen Erdong is not like some people in the city who look down on classmates from the countryside, and he has a good relationship with Fu Huayong.

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, Fu Huayong had no money to return home, so he worked near the school to earn living expenses. On the day he went home from vacation, Chen Erdong filled the meal card with 500 yuan and handed it to him, afraid that he would be hungry, and Fu Huayong could remember this incident for a lifetime.

After finding a job, Fu Huayong moved out of school, he is not like Chen Erdong and Lin Daqi who have the qualifications to pick and choose, as long as he can go to work immediately to help the family, the future is just a mirage based on food and clothing for him.

Chen Erdong thinks that Fu Huayong is a very suitable helper, although from the aesthetic and creative point of view, he is much worse than Lin Daqi, but his proficiency in the operation of design software is much stronger than that of ordinary designers.

What Lin Daqi lacks most now is a person who can handle pictures and daily typesetting for him, Chen Erdong can't use the software, he can only do some simple assistance, which affects the efficiency very much, so this suggestion has been recognized by Lin Daqi.

The two decided to lobby Fu Huayong, and they didn't want Fu Huayong to be succumbed to the art department all the time, with a salary of 2,000 yuan per month, which was the same as them, plus a project commission, which was also in line with the overall market of fresh graduates in the advertising industry at that time.

According to Chen Erdong's assumption, if Fu Huayong comes, he can also be regarded as the company's founding veteran, and if the company's future development is good, he can serve as the head of the department or even have a certain equity.

On the same day, Chen Erdong made an appointment with Fu Huayong for dinner, since the talent market was goodbye, everyone was busy and did not meet again, did not make an appointment in the restaurant, but bought it outside and went back to the company to eat, on the one hand, his place atmosphere is good, on the other hand, he also wanted Fu Huayong to see the company's environment.

"That's right, Dongzi, I said a long time ago to come to you to have a look, but I haven't been able to spare time." Fu Huayong looked at this small but exquisite space and sighed, his sigh was not only the environment here, but also the envy of people with good conditions who could have such an opportunity.

"Isn't this coming, so-so, just such a small place." Chen Erdong has always been very careful about the wording of his speech to Fu Huayong, and rural people often suffer from the condescending attitude of others.

"Very good, you go and see the art department where I work, although it is bigger than yours, not to mention the environment."

"By the way, how are you going to work now?"

"That's it, every day typesetting and retouching, spray-painting and engraving, like a worker, where can I compare with you."

"Dayong, I won't go around in circles with you, let you come over today, on the one hand, we haven't been together for a long time, on the other hand, I mainly want to ask you, would you like to join our company?" Although the relationship between Fu Huayong and Chen Erdong is not as big as Lin, it is not the kind that needs to be beaten around the bush.

"Are you kidding, Dongzi, can I follow you with these two brushes?" Fu Huayong obviously didn't expect Chen Erdong to tell him this today.

"Dayong, we are all our own brothers, can I talk nonsense to you?" So Chen Erdong told Fu Huayong about the recent development of the company and the reason for inviting him to join.

Fu Huayong pondered for a moment and said to Chen Erdong: "Dongzi, Daqi, thank you very much for looking up to me, I used the design of Daqi as a model when I was studying, and I admired it very much." Dongzi, as long as you are looking for me, I shouldn't have a second word, but you know the situation in my family best, I am now in my early 2,000s a month, in addition to 500 rent, I also have to remit 500 to my parents, 500 to my two sisters, and leave a little money for myself to live, although my art department is not promising, but at least stable, I am afraid that if I come to you, in case ......" Speaking of this, Fu Huayong stopped, he originally wanted to say what if the company collapsed, But this kind of talk was too unlucky for a newly opened company, so he didn't continue.

Of course, Chen Erdong could hear the meaning of his words, and he understood Fu Huayong's concerns very well, and the importance of a job was very important to him and himself, and the meaning was very different.

"Dayong, I understand, do you think this will work? You go and return the house you rented, and I'll buy you a marching bed when you go back, and you will come to live in the company, this building is a commercial residence, and there are water heaters and everything, which is nothing more than taking a shower and cleaning up the bathroom, and you can still watch movies and play games at night, I don't think you have many things, and we lived in the dormitory at that time, and the cabinet was not full. On top of that, you'll save a little money on rent every month, so you'll have a little easier. ”

Fu Huayong was really moved by these words, he didn't mean to fight snakes with sticks, he didn't have any requirements for accommodation after a hard life, and now sharing a house with someone is purely just needed, because it is close to the place where he goes to work, and he often works overtime, he can save the cost of commuting and don't worry about being late and deducting money, but because he is in the downtown area, there is really no cheaper accommodation than five hundred. Every day when I go back from work, because I don't have the money to open the Internet, except for playing stand-alone games and lying in bed in a daze, there is no other spare time at all, such a day will only bring depression to a young person.

"Dongzi, did I say the wrong thing just now, I definitely don't mean to put forward conditions to you, I just ......" Fu Huayong is a person who is not good at words, and when he is nervous at this time, he swallows and vomits.

"What are you talking about, Dayong, I don't know you yet? I really think that you can move to the company to live, first, to save money, and secondly, to work with us in a down-to-earth way! You say no, big thing? ”

"Oh, okay, okay, no problem, that's good." Lin Daqi's expression was a little unnatural, but he agreed quickly.

"Dongzi, to be honest, you say this, I'm really tempted, now if I can save another five hundred a month, it will really be a lot easier, I'm just, I'm just afraid that this will not be inappropriate, after all, it's the company."

Fu Huayong was a little entangled, Chen Erdong helped him not once or twice, he was grateful but unable to repay him, and now he not only threw an olive branch to him but also solved the problem of his accommodation, and he was short of staff, this favor gave Fu Huayong a lot of pressure.

"Okay, don't mother-in-law, then it's decided, come, let's go, warmly welcome Dayong to join us and become the third friend of Da Er!" In this half-pushed and half-done atmosphere, Big Ear Media ushered in its first external employee.

After Fu Huayong left, Lin Daqi's face was not quite right, his eyes were staring at Chen Erdong, Chen Erdong saw that his eyes were different, so he asked, "What are you doing?" Don't you like it? ”

"You're so happy, say yes." Lin Daqi's tone was not very happy.

"Didn't we say okay, let Dayong do it together, didn't you agree?" Chen Erdong didn't understand.

"I didn't say anything about letting him come to work, I mean you let him live in the company, our place is not big, and how artistic it is, now come and live alone, bring in all the fireworks, where is there still art? If he doesn't pay attention to hygiene, how can we guarantee this office environment? ”

"Hahaha, so you said this, then you don't have to worry. Although Dayong is from the countryside, his living habits are still very good, and the sanitation of our dormitory was basically contracted by him alone. ”

"Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid for me, is this a matter of cleanliness and hygiene?"

"Didn't you say that you were afraid that he didn't like to be clean?"

"Forget it, you have promised others the water that you spilled when you say it, but if you encounter this kind of problem in the future, your old man will give me a breath first and discuss it? Don't make your own decisions. Lin Daqi was still not happy.

"Okay, Boss Lin, it's me who is wrong this time, I shouldn't make my own decisions, but you have also seen Dayong's situation, you have to dispel his concerns, so that he can make up his mind to do it with us, and you should do good things for your friends."

"You've said everything, let's go, go home." This is the first time that the two have had a disagreement over business.

After winning Siwei's business, Chen Erdong was relieved, and he also paid the price of offending Liu Min for this business, so he half-jokingly told Lin Daqi and Fu Huayong that he had lost his wife and soldiers, and he had to do a good job.

Fu Huayong soon resigned from the art department, his softness was very small, except for a change of clothes and two pairs of shoes, everything else was packed in a suitcase, the box and the folded camp bed were temporarily placed in the corner of the reception room, and the futon was placed in a row of storage cabinets on the top.

Fu Huayong is in a good mood, he finally doesn't have to commit to being an artist in the art department, and he can fight side by side with the design idols of his college years, he feels that the value of his life has been sublimated, and he no longer has to worry about the rent, Chen Erdong is really accurate in time, just in time for him to pay the next quarter's rent, he was already shy in his pocket, this job-hopping, all the problems were solved together.

Just as the three of them were busy working in front of the computer, a figure appeared at the door of the office, Chen Erdong subconsciously glanced at it, and it turned out to be Shen Pei.

Shen Pei came to ask Chen Erdong Xingshi to ask for the guilt, five days have passed since the dinner incident, Chen Erdong has never contacted Shen Pei except for that text message and QQ, Shen Pei's patience has reached the limit, she doesn't want to get angry with Chen Erdong on the phone, or face-to-face is the best way to relieve anger, so she came uninvited to hit him off guard. It's just that as soon as I entered the door, I saw Fu Huayong, and I vaguely felt a little familiar, and I had the impression that it should be Chen Erdong's friend, so I immediately couldn't help but have an immediate seizure, and called Chen Erdong outside the door.

Chen Erdong was like a primary school student who had made a mistake, standing in front of Shen Pei with his head down, waiting for the head teacher to speak. Shen Pei brought out all the lines of the romance dramas he had seen in his life, and counted them all at Chen Erdong, but Chen Erdong knew that he was at a loss and did not refute it.

After Shen Pei's crackling came to an end, he narrated what had happened in the past five days, focusing on Siwei and Fu Huayong, in fact, Shen Pei had already lost most of her anger at the dinner, and the anger she was now was completely because of Chen Erdong's cold violence, and Chen Erdong could only take the trouble to explain to her that he had absolutely not carried out cold violence.

After Shen Pei finished venting, he was calm, of course, he would still maintain his face on the surface, which is the habit of most women.

After getting back together, Chen Erdong invited Shen Pei into the office like receiving the leader to inspect the work, Shen Pei's face turned pale, and she still greeted Fu Huayong and asked about her personal belongings, and then she took out a piece of leftover decorative cloth from the storage cabinet, moved the suitcase and covered it, and then leaned the folding bed against the wall against the back of the suitcase, and then put a pot of small green plants on it, and a small decorative table was set up.

If no one had said it, they would not have thought that there was a suitcase underneath the cloth. This move was appreciated by the three men at the scene, especially Chen Erdong, who was able to concentrate on his work when the fire in the backyard was extinguished.
