Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 128, Section 126: The Preliminary Selection

Inside the storefront of Jieyou Media near the South Gate 3 of Nanhu University, two employees, one standing and one sitting, looked quite busy.

"Hello, is this xx? This is Jieyou Media."

"Congratulations! Your resume has passed the initial screening by Jieyou Media. Please arrive at Nanhu University, Minzu Avenue, Hongshan District between 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM the following day."

The one standing and talking non-stop on the phone is Li Xiaobo.

The other person was relatively quiet, sitting in front of the computer, Lu Ze, his fingers flying across the keyboard, with glistening beads of sweat on his forehead.

He was editing a reply email.

Logically speaking, by noon, the two of them should have found a place to rest.

But no one took the initiative to speak. Instead, they were all enjoying themselves. Those who made phone calls didn't feel tired even when their throats were dry, and those who sent emails were even more excited.

The reason is simple.

Whether it's Li Xiaobo or Lu Ze, their feelings since joining the company are self-evident.

Fresh!

This is fucking amazing!
Leaving aside the boss's various brilliant ideas for monetizing traffic, these can be disregarded.

Just an email address was enough to make Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze, two straight men, extremely happy.

We made the right choice, we chose the right company!
Since Du Jianuo became an overnight sensation on Douyu, her relatives and friends, media company colleagues, and even the fans who watch her live streams in silence have all been drawn to her.
Indeed, quite a few girls have become interested in the rising popularity of the live streaming industry.

Take the students of Nanhu University as an example.

At present, whenever Du Jianuo appears on campus, she has the air of a little star to anyone who sees her.

Some people signed autographs, some watched, and some took photos.
Although Du Jianuo was famous before and had hosted the welcome party for more than one year, this certainly did not mean that she was a household name and the center of attention.

But it's different now.

Almost everyone in the school probably knows that she made a fortune overnight.

Some busybodies claiming to be street photographers snapped a picture of Du Jianuo near the dormitory of the School of Music and Dance.

It was also uploaded to the school's forum and online community.

In the photo, the gleaming luxury goods reflect the sunlight, as if illuminating her bright future.

The word spread like wildfire, and the incredible power of live streaming quickly became a topic of conversation among young people.

Of course, there are plenty of girls who are both capable and attractive.

Therefore, Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze have become the happiest people at Jieyou Media during this period.

The company's main email inbox is flooded with resumes every day.

Filter, oh no
This grand event should be called a preliminary selection.

After the audition, both of them became quite picky.

Lu Ze was even more infatuated with his former goddess, and when he looked at her WeChat Moments, he felt that something was wrong.

"Old Lu, what score would you give this?"

"6.5, I guess. Her features are okay, but she looks a bit worldly."

Looking at beautiful women on a screen and then rating them. There's probably no man who wouldn't enjoy this kind of job.

"Old Lu, Old Lu, what do you think of this?"

"Holy crap! It's huge, and the face is pretty good too."

It was rare for tech geek Lu Ze to swear. After watching for a few seconds, he quickly took off his glasses, breathed on them, wiped his T-shirt with the hem, and leaned closer to the screen.

He stretched out his arm and pressed down on Li Xiaobo's hand that was controlling the mouse.

"Wait a minute, don't rush to the next one, let me take another look."

"Tall and long-legged, with a curvy figure, a long-term fitness habit, excellent academic performance and character, and also has live-streaming experience."

"Damn it, where did this hexagonal warrior come from?!"

"That's really awesome."

Screening resumes and evaluating photos has become a daily routine for Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze; their boss has even given them this primary authority.

Offline preliminary selection, cross-verification of photo authenticity, and the right to score again.

One of the most desirable scenarios for men is probably the open audition.

Food, clothing, and daily necessities—everything can be saved on.

Smoking can be done with Hongtashan cigarettes, clothes can be old T-shirts, and food and drink can be shared. It's okay to suffer a little.

But no one can stop males from raising their voices and shouting those three words in a certain situation.

—The next batch!
"Go back and wait for further notice. Next!"

That's exactly what the two-person team from Jieyou Media are like right now.

Whenever a well-dressed and beautiful job applicant walks into the storefront, Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze will first compare them.

The degree of difference between the person's appearance and the photo on their resume, whether their makeup is too heavy or too light, and whether their overall demeanor and speech are suitable for a public setting.

This wasn't actually the first time Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze had participated in an interview.

The two, former Minister and Deputy Minister of the Publicity Department of Nanhu University, were conducting a preliminary selection process as interviewers for the first time several years ago.

They have elected student council members, elected hosts, and elected many representatives to handle publicity.

It has to be said that interviewing student council members is a completely different experience from interviewing campus celebrities.

If, among university students, those who actively participate in student unions have a communication skills rating of 10, then...

Those campus stars who managed to pass the resume and appearance test and stand in front of the two to introduce themselves were almost all witty and charming, with an emotional value that was on another level, making them incomparable to the previous ones.

Giving it an average score of 80 is not an exaggeration at all.

Wow, that's amazing!

"sharp."

"congratulations!"

"You are truly outstanding. We are waiting for the boss to notify us of the final interview. We look forward to having you join Jieyou Media."

Self-motivation is absolutely a key factor for success.

In fact, the campus talents who take the initiative to come for an interview and see the potential of Jieyou Media are generally not bad in terms of personal qualities.

There were talented individuals, humorous individuals, and even the "Hexagonal Warrior" who amazed Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze during the photo segment arrived at the interview site early.

Although they were given the power to veto any decision they were not satisfied with, both Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze remained extremely cautious.

They have a clear understanding of themselves.

Excluding those whose photos do not match their actual appearance, or those whose speech and behavior are particularly inconsistent with the positive energy standards of a live streamer.

As long as someone has potential, they've passed the initial selection stage.

The final judgment, of course, should be left to the boss to make.
