School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Although the price was expensive, it was barely within Xiao Han and Yang Lu's budget. After several negotiations with the other party, they finally settled on the price and rented the entire first floor for 1.2 million per year. They had essentially secured a base for Hanmen Group.

Soon, the renovation company moved in, and Li Da almost had to send someone to the site every day to monitor progress.

The workers from the renovation company were generally unreliable—if no one kept an eye on them, their work would be sloppy, and they would substitute specified materials with inferior ones. Li Da had Liu Shengtao recruit a few fierce-looking guys to oversee the site.

Indeed, as soon as the renovation company saw a few intimidating figures coming in, they were naturally terrified. They worked overtime and did not dare cut corners on materials. They strictly adhered to the contract. Of course, they were also afraid; afraid that if there were any issues with the renovation, they would be the ones to blame.

Ultimately, the renovation company completed the entire first floor seriously within a week. They left some minor details for them to integrate.

Liu Xiaolei also started to get busy.

Human resources and public relations tasks fell on her shoulders, and this was not a light responsibility. On the contrary, it was a very heavy one.

As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest.

Hanmen Group was now at its initial stage and urgently needed talents.

For example, Hanmen Catering was planning to expand to thirty chain restaurants across ten prefecture-level cities throughout the province. This was Hanmen Group's first major investment since its establishment. The thirty chain restaurants were about a 20-million investment, a substantial sum, hence requiring careful consideration. The current staff at Hanmen was far too few to open thirty chain restaurants at once.

Most importantly, Hanmen Group had expanded significantly, and everyone had specific roles. Zhao Lizhong used to help out with Hanmen Restaurant, but now all his focus was on Hanmen Mining Company, and the foreign trade company had been handed over to a friend of his. Therefore, Hanmen Restaurant could no longer bother Zhao Lizhong.

As for Yang Lu, she was even busier.

Almost all of Hanmen Company's financial work was now being handled by Yang Lu. Moreover, many of the proposals and plans were also her responsibility. From major corporate strategies to staff appointments, almost everything was managed by Yang Lu. She was indeed hands-on. Therefore, Xiao Han felt that he couldn't be too selfish and burden all the tasks on Yang Lu.

"Xiao Han!" Yang Lu spotted Xiao Han from afar near the Twin Towers Building.

"Sister Yang…," Xiao Han smiled and said, "I specifically came to see our new home."

"I just have something to discuss with you," Yang Lu quickly smiled.

"Go ahead!" Xiao Han nodded.

"The unveiling ceremony is next week. I've already spoken to a few leaders from the Municipal Committee, and they will come to cut the ribbon," Yang Lu smiled. "What do you think… do you have any other requests?"

"What requests?" Xiao Han looked puzzled and said, "That's great, the fact that leaders from the Municipal Committee can make time to come cut the ribbon is a good thing."

"What I meant was, do you want to cut the ribbon together with the leaders from the Municipal Committee?" Yang Lu straightforwardly pointed out, Xiao Han wasn't very worldly and didn't grasp the crux.

"No!" Xiao Han quickly waved his hand, then said, "You represent the highest leader of Hanmen Group at the ribbon cutting. Later, if any media reporters come, you should speak as the highest leader of Hanmen Group!"

"Ah?" Yang Lu looked at Xiao Han in astonishment and said, "Then… then…"

"It's settled then," Xiao Han smiled and said, "Sister Yang, I trust you deeply."

"Okay," Yang Lu nodded reluctantly and said, "Since you trust me so much, I won't let you down."

Liu Xiaolei was also in the Twin Towers Building; the thirtieth floor had already been divided into various departmental areas. Each department had its designated space, and the entire floor was very spacious, measuring over 1,000 square meters. In a small place like Linjiang City, an annual rent of over 1.2 million was reasonable.

Liu Xiaolei had already learned where her department was located—Human Resources and Public Relations were in the same area. Desks and chairs had already been set up, and Li Da, as the head of the Logistics Department, was leading people around buying office supplies—computers, printers…

In about three more days, everything would be in place.

"Xiao Han…" Liu Xiaolei ran over with a beaming smile.

"This happy?" Xiao Han smilingly looked at Liu Xiaolei.

"Yes, the company's renovation is done, and it looks pretty," Liu Xiaolei said with a smile. "I have my own office."

"Is it big?" Xiao Han asked.

"It's quite big, each person has an office of over ten square meters," Liu Xiaolei said proudly, then added, "I'm planning to go to the job market, do you want to come with me to recruit people?"

"Recruit people?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Han became excited: "Sure, let's go together."

The company needed to hire people, and Xiao Han had never done human resources work before, so he was very interested in this aspect of recruitment.

Both of them immediately said goodbye to Yang Lu and drove to the job market.

"Hey, the chairman of Hanmen Group actually going to the job market to do recruitment work?" Yang Lu looked at Xiao Han's retreating figure and couldn't help but snicker.

Xiao Han was indeed a hands-off manager who delegated all tasks to others and trusted them completely. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't entrust such core matters to others. For instance, Xiao Han had handed over the financial responsibilities to her — the company's accounts and all the seals were in her hands. If she wanted to embezzle funds and flee, it would be an incredibly easy task; they probably wouldn't even know she was gone.

However, given Yang Lu's personality, she definitely wouldn't do such a thing.

Xiao Han had saved Yang Lu's life and recognized her abilities. Therefore, she definitely couldn't commit such an act.

......

Linjiang City Job Market.

This was a world of mixed bags where fresh graduates came looking for jobs, and those dissatisfied with existing jobs came seeking new opportunities. Of course, there were also some so-called job market 'gurus.' These so-called gurus lacked ambition and preferred daily wage jobs, enjoying work that allowed one rest for three days after a single day's labor, or even a week off for a day's work.

These folks frequented the vicinity of the job market, staying in motels that cost eight yuan a night, where dozens of beds lined a room and eight yuan bought a night's sleep. Of course, some disdained such places, preferring to spend five yuan at an internet cafe for a night-long session. There, one could use a computer and, if tired, rest on a couch overnight. Such shady internet cafes were generally not called cafes but were known as 'internet rental homes.'

Upon arriving at the job market, they immediately connected with the job market management committee. After paying the rent, they quickly set up a recruitment booth and began hiring.

This place had all kinds of people, including talents and certainly scammers. Human resources work was not easy; it involved selecting the right candidates from thousands, and this wasn't an easy task.

When a recruitment booth was set up,

many people immediately crowded in.

"What kind of people are you hiring?"

"Can I apply? I can adapt to any job!"

Many immediately surged forward with their resumes.

Liu Xiaolei became somewhat flustered, but Xiao Han quickly stepped up to manage the situation. He stood up and said, "Step back, don't crowd around. We are about to display the recruitment notice."

The crowd rustled...

Everyone moved back.

Xiao Han then pulled out a frame and hung up a poster. The details for the required positions were clearly listed.

Although Hanmen Group was hiring quite a few people, Liu Xiaolei listed not many positions; she needed two senior human resources veterans who had significant personal networks. This was most important.

Human resources work was all about networking, and any HR professional needed some friends in this field. If Hanmen Group urgently needed people, the HR staff could quickly tap into their network to find suitable candidates through headhunting agencies.

Once the recruitment notice was released, many dispersed.

Though the offered salary was tempting and the position was very attractive, the recruitment conditions were quite strict and rare.

Liu Xiaolei's recruitment for the HR clerks had two requirements: first, must be a graduate from an HR-related major; second, must have over five years of experience in an HR position. There were no specific age requirements, which indirectly created a criterion for age. There were also no specific academic qualifications required.

The previously dense crowd quickly thinned out.

Some people tentatively handed over a resume, only to receive a smile from Liu Xiaolei who said, "Wait for our response."

This process repeated, over ten resumes were collected, yet there was still no news.

"Xiao Lei, aren't your requirements too high?" Xiao Han asked.

"Not high," Liu Xiaolei shook her head.

"People with these qualifications probably wouldn't come to the job market to find work, would they?" Xiao Han ruefully said, "Generally, people of that age would find a job before they switch, not quit to find work here."

"There will be some," Liu Xiaolei smiled, "But not now. Later, towards the end of the day, some veterans will come by to take a look. If there are suitable positions, they'll leave a business card, not a resume."

"Oh..." upon hearing this, Xiao Han said, "How do you know?"

"I just know!" Liu Xiaolei giggled.
