Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 821 Welcome to the Other Shore
As the sun gradually climbed higher, its rays generously poured onto every inch of the land, as if they were free.

In the crowd, those who were prepared held up parasols, and the strangers gathered under the umbrellas to chat for a bit, the sense of unfamiliarity quietly melting away in the shared shade.

But most people didn't have that composure. The backs of their suits were soaked with dark patches of sweat, especially the few at the very front of the line who had arrived the earliest and suffered the most; their shirt collars were soaked with sweat.

Looking at the security personnel standing guard inside, they couldn't help but step forward and plead, "Could you make an exception and let us go in to avoid the sun?"

"Opening time: 9:30. Please be patient." The security captain stood at the gate, his voice neither loud nor soft, but conveying an undeniable firmness.

No matter how much the people outside talked, he remained unmoved, his eyes not even glancing away.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the back of the group.

"Is Chen Mo making a fool of us? We're standing here in the blazing sun, who do you think we're going to die of heatstroke?"

"This shows that the other side has no sincerity at all; they just want to make things difficult for us. We're not going to put up with this!"

"What happened to the promised human touch? Is this how they treat guests on the other side?"

"This kind of assistance is better left unused; let it all go!"

The complaints grew louder and louder, but not a single person moved an inch.

Those who were clamoring to leave had their feet rooted to the ground, and their necks couldn't help but craning forward.

Seeing that no one responded, the grumbling gradually subsided, until only the chirping of cicadas remained in the air.

This scene was clearly reflected on the surveillance screen not far away.

In the monitoring room, the staff zoomed in on the footage, pointed at several figures stirring up trouble, marked them, and then someone immediately got up to report to the person in charge of the first checkpoint.

Among the crowd, Jia Yueting, wearing a mask, had a cold smile on his lips.

You think you can fool people with such a simple trick?
Those who can sit in the boss's position are basically bad; it's not that there aren't any stupid ones, but they are actually quite rare.

He glanced at the guys who were still pretending to be angry, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

It seems that even before the other side makes a move, some people have already started competing.
As time passed, a strange scene appeared at the entrance of the Bi'an Science and Technology Park.

Employees wearing name tags streamed in through the main entrance, chatting and laughing.

Before entering the park, these employees would all glance at the small door on the left.

A long line of several hundred people snaked out from the doorway, mostly middle-aged men in suits, with a few women in elaborate makeup mixed in.

These employees knew that the company would be holding a special recruitment fair during this period, and they assumed that these people dressed in suits and ties, attending as if they were on a red carpet, were the bosses of various companies in Beijing.
For some reason, seeing these bosses, who might have been aloof or domineering in the past, now wiping away sweat under the scorching sun and obediently queuing outside the park, gave them a secret sense of satisfaction.

On one side are energetic and composed employees, while on the other side are a group of bosses with furrowed brows and anxious expressions. The two groups are separated by a fence, creating a strange scene of contrasting worlds.

This rare sight was captured by reporters who arrived early in the morning, and the news headline quickly spread online: "The small door for the boss to enter and exit is tightly locked, while the main door for employees to enter and exit is wide open."

Not far away, several Douyin (TikTok) livestreamers were holding up their phones to broadcast live.

"Look, everyone! There's a long queue of business owners at the entrance of the Bi'an Technology Park! This is even more exciting than the opening of Disneyland!"

A live stream titled "Have you ever seen bosses lining up?" attracted over 10,000 viewers within just over ten minutes of going live.

The live chat exploded with comments:

"Oh my god, isn't that our boss? No wonder he didn't come to check up on things today!"

"Yue Buqun and the Empress Dowager are here too? They actually passed the preliminary selection?"

"Why are people still wearing masks in this heat? What's there to be ashamed of? They're not deadbeats."

"Employees have unimpeded access, while capital has nowhere to go—that's the other side!"

"Someone has dug up the list; all ten villains on the blacklist of professional gossip have been gathered. It's practically a meeting of villains!"

At 9:30, a slight motor hum sounded, and the tightly closed door slowly opened.

A dozen security personnel immediately lined up on both sides, their muscles clearly defined beneath their black uniforms; each of them was burly and exuded a strong sense of intimidation.

A staff member raised a megaphone: "Please open WeChat and scan the QR code to begin verification on the official Bi'an mini-program!"

The beeping of QR codes filled the air, proceeding in an orderly fashion, much like ticket checking at a tourist attraction.

"Next!"

"Next!"

"I...I don't have a code, please give me a chance, my company..." "Excuse me, please move aside, don't block the people behind you."

Seeing that the person was still making a scene, before the staff could speak, the security guards nearby had already taken action and moved the person aside.

"Beep—I'm sorry, sir, you have been eliminated."

"Why? The verification code clearly passed!" The man jumped up and down in frustration. "You were suspected of inciting others. Please cooperate with our work." The cold response left him speechless.

Seeing this, Wang Shoude, who was not far behind, couldn't help but swallow. He had arrived here around 7 a.m. and found out that there were other experts. After chatting for a while, he learned that the first few people had started queuing in the early morning, and the first few were employees of their respective companies queuing up for their bosses.

This allowed Wang Shoude to go solo with a six; these guys really know how to play.

Beep. Beep. Beep.
After weeding out a few troublemakers who wanted to take advantage of the situation and those who had previously instigated trouble, the team was quickly integrated.

As the last person entered, the other Douyin (TikTok) streamers also wanted to follow suit and continue their live streams.

"That Douyin account is part of the same group, so please be lenient. Look, tens of thousands of people are watching this in my live stream."

The staff member from the other side, who appeared to be in charge, seemed somewhat surprised and moved, and said to the camera, "Thank you all for your support, but this interview process was not open to the public, so we hope you understand."

The electronic fence then closed slowly and firmly.

Some livestreamers could only hold their phones up high and zoom in to vaguely see many people entering the park and crowding around the famous statue of the giant ship "Other Shore".

Who knows who will be able to board this ship in a few days?
This has become the common thought of most people.

Soon, under the organization of the staff on the other side, everyone gathered in the square in front of the large ship on the other side.

They then formed a large walking group, curiously exploring the various facilities of the Beyond Science Park under the guidance of Beyond staff. Even when they encountered Beyond employees passing by, they did not give way.

The Time Corridor showcases the development history of the other side, a bustling commercial street that is small yet complete, Pang Donglai unmanned self-service supermarket, and apartment-style employee dormitories.
The last stop was the main building lobby. When everyone saw the copy of the Labor Law in the display case in the middle of the lobby, their expressions varied.

At noon, everyone took turns enjoying the rumored free lunch on the other side of the river.

At 1 p.m., the company bosses who came for the interviews gathered again in front of the large ship after being notified by broadcast and mobile phone push notifications, and shared what they had seen and heard along the way.

Hu Shaoyu, nicknamed "Old Buddha" by netizens, was also in the crowd. Despite her somewhat masculine name, she is actually a woman in her fifties.

Looking at the employees from the other side passing by from time to time, she snorted coldly. Why don't the employees from the other side feel any sense of tension?
This isn't the attitude of someone coming to work; it's more like they're relaxing as if they're strolling through their own garden.

This would be considered a reprimand in her company.

Just a few days ago, she went out to run some errands and saw a girl smoking with several male colleagues downstairs. She thought it was inappropriate, so she had HR fire the female employee.

Thinking this, Hu Shaoyu followed the group through a small park. To be fair, although the employees of the other side were carefree and irresponsible, the surrounding environment was impeccable.

It was extremely narrow at first, but after walking several hundred meters, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

Guided by the staff from the other side, the group arrived at a stage and stood there. There were no chairs, but at least there was a canopy to shield them from the scorching sun.

This relieved everyone, as no one could stand for another hour or two.
In the shadows behind the stage.

Fan Dian is in charge of overseeing the first round of candidates. According to the previous procedure, his task today is to eliminate half of the candidates.

"Mr. Fan, everyone has arrived."

"Ok!"

He stood up, turned around and looked at the ten groups of three people who had already been divided behind him for the interviews. He clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, get into your positions."

"Yes!"

Then Fan Dian, holding the microphone handed to him by his assistant, went around a corner and came to the front of the stage.

He climbed the steps in a few strides, walked to the center of the stage, looked down at the huge crowd below, and stretched out one hand.
Welcome to the other side!
I am Fan Dian, the chairman of the employee union of Bi'an Group, and also the person in charge of this recruitment.

You might not know me, that's okay, but you've definitely heard of the 'Yuandian' app, which I'm in charge of. I might even have interacted with some of you in the audience.”

The term "employee union" was unfamiliar to the nearly one thousand business owners in the audience. Did such a thing even exist in China?

Even if they exist, they are merely for show; few take them seriously.

However, when everyone heard that the person on stage was the person in charge of Yuandian, many people's expressions changed slightly.

Over the past few years, if the "Employee Code" is a mirror that reveals true character, then the "Employee Code" has truly become a code of conduct for employees, leaving many business owners feeling uneasy.

Especially this guy named Fan Dian, he's like a leech, once he's on you, you can't get rid of him unless the employee involved is satisfied.

Yuandian has capital, legal services, and powerful backers. These three advantages have caused considerable hardship for some business owners who have dealt with Yuandian, and they still feel lingering fear when they think about it now.

But these people can only keep their opinions to themselves for now, since the situation is beyond their control and they need someone's help this time.

Fan Dian, seeing this, continued, "I heard some people started queuing up at dawn? Raise your hand if you arrived before six o'clock."

A dozen or so hands hesitantly rose up.

"The spirit is commendable, but unfortunately it was used in the wrong place."

He then changed the subject, "Next, let me explain the assessment rules."
