Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

Zou Lin opened the contract to the first page and scanned it line by line.

"Esports Essentials - Employment Contract"

Party A (Employer): Esports Goodies Personal E-commerce Studio.

Party B (the employee): XXX.

【I. Term of Employment Contract:】

Article 1: This contract is a fixed-term employment contract.

[Article 2: This contract is effective from 2012...]

Chapter Two: Job Responsibilities

[Article 1: Party B shall be fully responsible for all financial matters of the studio and shall hold a core management position within the studio.]

[Article 2: This position differs from that of a typical small and micro-enterprise accountant. In addition to basic accounting tasks, it includes exclusive duties such as e-commerce channel reconciliation, brand revenue sharing settlement, inventory auditing, traffic conversion cost calculation, and building a store profit model.]

[Article 3: Job Responsibilities]

[1. Financial Accounting: Responsible for daily, weekly, and monthly sales statistics, cost accounting, gross profit calculation, net profit settlement, ledger organization, and income and expenditure recording.]

2. Personal and Studio Asset Management: Unified ledger management of livestream gift revenue, e-commerce revenue, and signing fee revenue, with traceable financial statements.

3. ...

Zou Lin's finger paused on the page for a moment.

Is there a problem with the contract?

no problem.

The terms are clear and the responsibilities are well-defined. It's obviously a document handled by professionals, not some template copied from the internet.

Moreover, the other party is clearly not operating in a frivolous manner—this contract itself is the best proof.

Is the pay bad?

Not bad at all!

No, it wasn't bad at all; on the contrary, it was so generous that she found it hard to believe.

Zou Lin even had a thought—if she didn't know that her savior was indeed in the early stages of starting a business, that her shop had only been open for a short time, and that she was so short of money that she couldn't even afford to buy a new computer or a new place to live, she would have suspected that Lin Shu was taking pity on her and trying to find a way to help her.

Because the other party not only hired her to be in charge of the financial work of "e-sports goodies", but also included his personal asset management in the areas of live streaming, teaching video production, and commercial endorsements.

It wasn't a slave contract where one salary covered two jobs; rather, all of these were clearly written down in the job responsibilities.

In terms of compensation, the boss Lin in front of her was extremely generous.

Salary and benefits!

[1. Basic monthly salary for finance staff: 4900 yuan/month; 2. Basic monthly salary for live streaming assistant: 2300 yuan/month!]

2. Monthly performance bonus: 500-2000 yuan (Assessment criteria: zero errors in reconciliation, timely payment, clear accounts, and standardized reports.)

3. Benefits and allowances: Full attendance allowance, communication allowance, office equipment allowance, holiday benefits, and monthly sample snacks and peripherals.

4. Year-end bonus...

Zou Lin silently added a number in her mind;

Excluding year-end bonuses and sample benefits, her total income in her first month of employment, including basic monthly salary, performance bonuses, and various subsidies, easily exceeded seven thousand dollars.

Seven thousand yuan.

In 2012, a recent college graduate majoring in finance earned a monthly salary of 7,000 yuan.

You should know that most of her classmates who are still submitting resumes at the job market are only getting offers of two or three thousand yuan.

If you're lucky enough to get into a big company, you only make a little over four thousand, and even then you still have to squeeze onto the subway every day, clock in, work overtime, and get yelled at by your boss.

And what about her?

The salary is among the highest in finance, and the work schedule is flexible. There is no need to be in the office or clock in. You just need to complete the daily transaction registration and order verification, and reconcile accounts and generate reports at a fixed time every week.

When there's a surge in orders during a major promotion, we can expedite the process and even arrange time off in lieu of payment afterward.

Zou Lin's gaze fell on the line "A flexible full-time work system will be implemented, with no need to clock in and out, and the evaluation criteria will be based on accounting results and reconciliation efficiency," and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

She flipped through a few more pages and roughly read through the rest of the contract. There were no hidden pitfalls, no ambiguous statements; every clause was clearly written.

Finally, she closed the contract, raised her eyes, and looked at the calm young man across from her, who was holding a cappuccino.

For some reason, she suddenly felt her eyes getting hot, and her voice unconsciously carried a complex emotion that she couldn't quite explain.

"Um... my dear Boss Lin, if you're looking to keep me as a mistress, you really don't need to go to all this trouble."

Lin Shu paused, his hand holding the cup still.

"You saved my life, and with these conditions—"

Zou Lin tilted her head and looked him up and down. Although he was a bit young, he was incredibly good-looking.

So he said in a tone that was half expectant and half joking, "I'd be perfectly willing to take a loss."

"Pfft—cough cough cough—"

Lin Shu almost spat out his coffee, choking and coughing several times until tears welled up in his eyes.

She hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth and glared at Zou Lin.

"What, you want to eat and take some too, huh?"

I was trying to help you out of kindness, but you, you monster, are trying to ruin my cultivation?

Do you know how important the Heavenly Gang Boy Skill is to e-sports players?

Zou Lin blinked and didn't say anything, but her expression clearly said, "It's not impossible."

Lin Shu took a deep breath, slammed the tissue on the table, and straightened his expression.

"We're offering you this treatment because your abilities are worth the price."

Lin Shu said earnestly.

"I'm not joking."

He was really not joking.

A person with no business experience in their previous life, even if they only set up a small Taobao shop in this life, will definitely have a headache for a long time due to the various sales problems brought about by the massive influx of traffic after opening.

Reconciliation, write-offs, profit calculations, brand settlements—just thinking about it gives me a headache.

But this cheap accountant and customer service girl that he picked up from the alley not only handled countless communication problems with buyers with great skill, but also made perfect mistakes in the bill statistics in the first week, and organized all the data to the point that even he, a finance novice, could understand at a glance.

His abilities are so remarkable, one can only imagine.

With his current connections, finding talent of that caliber wouldn't be easy. It's not something you can just hire just because you have money, especially since he doesn't have much money right now.

So, of course we have to find a way to keep them here.

As for flexible working hours, given the current situation of "Esports Goodies," they haven't even secured a physical office location yet, so where are they supposed to clock in and out?

If he weren't afraid of scaring people away, he would have been prepared to learn from those big bosses and talk to people about their grand future goals, drawing up pictures of dividends and stock options.

"Fine, I thought I could skip twenty years of hard work."

Zou Lin felt somewhat regretful.

He quickly signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on the contract. He then extended his hand to him, "So, boss, how about a pleasant collaboration?"

Lin Shu also reached out and grasped it; his palm was warm, and the pressure was neither too light nor too heavy.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

……

"So, including me, there are only two people in our company now?"

Zou Lin blinked and asked.

After signing the contract and affixing the seal, and legally becoming one of their own, Lin Shu described the current state of the team to Zou Lin.

"Yes,"

Lin Shu said frankly, "But to correct you, we will also be recruiting one more full-time customer service representative, making it three people in total."

"So, Sister Lin, although you have flexible working hours, you probably won't have much rest time for the first few months. At the very least, your assistant will have to be on call at all times."

"no problem!"

Zou Lin nodded.

I didn't feel much resentment towards my boss's behavior of immediately telling me that I needed to work overtime.

What office workers fear most is not working overtime!

Instead, they are afraid of working meaningless, worthless, and unrewarding extra shifts.

Think about Lin Shu. In the early stages of starting a business, it's normal to be short-handed and need to be on call to work overtime. But if you offer him the best possible benefits and he can become a veteran of a promising company if he performs well, I believe no one would refuse to work overtime like that.

In short, I swear to serve General Lin to the death!

Zou Lin picked up the now-cold Americano, took a sip, and the taste was still there.

Looking at the eighteen-year-old youth opposite her, she suddenly felt that her luck wasn't so bad after all.

She was scammed out of 2,000 yuan, fell down in an alley and cried, and then a handsome guy picked her up and took her home. Now this handsome guy has even given her a job.

……

"Sister Lin, our current situation doesn't allow me to hire another HR person, so you'll have to help me with the recruitment."

Lin Shu didn't stand on ceremony. Refusing someone's offer of themselves was one thing, but refusing to use someone else's "body" was another.

In the early stages of starting a business, it's perfectly normal to treat women like men and men like animals.

His current goal for "e-sports goodies" is to leverage existing traffic to create a closed loop for the group-buying and reselling Taobao store model, solve the problems of chaotic order taking, after-sales service, and delivery, and build a minimal operating team.

"Online customer service is our top priority. Just like you said on WeChat, this is the most urgent position. Without full-time customer service staff, you simply can't handle it all by yourself."

"We can hire one or two more part-time customer service staff to cover all hours as much as possible."

"I can arrange the part-time job today. There are quite a few college students who need part-time jobs. I have a few friends who are administrators of part-time job groups. If it's the same salary you offered me before, it's no exaggeration to say that they'd fight tooth and nail for it."

"Sure. This job doesn't require much skill. You just need to be fast at typing, patient, have a good personality, and be familiar with the Taobao backend." Lin Shu nodded. "Start as a part-time job first, and then gradually look for a full-time one."

The tasks of customer service representatives at Taobao stores are not simple. They handle private messages on Taobao's messaging platform, answering questions about products, group-buying rules, prices, and shipping times; they process orders, address changes, order merging, and order tracking...

Sometimes, a customer's first impression of a store often depends on the professional attitude of its customer service staff.

No matter how good your product is, if customer service is indifferent and people just turn around and leave.

As for store operations, Lin Shu plans to take on the work himself for now.

It's not that we don't want to hire people, but at this stage, hiring a qualified operations person is not cheap, and outsiders may not be able to get started with his current "live streaming + video + group buying" model immediately.

In the first two months, his main focus was on stabilizing sales in existing stores, replenishing basic manpower, and gradually improving standardized processes.

It can't be rushed.

"Oh right, there's one more thing!" Lin Shu suddenly remembered something.

"Please speak."

Zou Lin picked up the notebook, the pen tip already pressed against the paper.

"Sister Lin asked around at school to see if there were any students who knew video editing. If they knew animation production—that would be even better."

Zou Lin looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't ask any questions, just nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask around for you."

Lin Shu leaned back in his chair, picked up his now-cold cappuccino, and drank it all in one gulp.

The slightly sweet liquid slid down my throat, and the tension that had been building in my mind finally eased a little.

Customer service, finance, editing, animation...

One by one, we need to get everyone together before we can get things done.
