From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou walked to the entrance of the job market and then stopped.

Yuanchuan is currently short of designers, but the design drawings can be outsourced.

What really holds the company back are the miscellaneous tasks such as purchasing, handling paperwork, coordinating with construction sites, and organizing documents.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Mu Qingying, asking her to change the job posting to project assistant.

The salary has also been increased from 6,000 to 8,000, with project bonuses calculated separately.

This money will strain the company's working capital, but we can't worry about that right now.

With insufficient manpower, the construction project at Nanwan Old Port simply cannot proceed.

Lu Yunzhou returned to the booth, flipped the original recruitment brochure to the back, and rewrote the conditions in the blank space.

Two project assistants.

Responsible for administration, procurement, business liaison, and on-site coordination.

Monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, project bonuses are separate, and those who can do the work will be given priority.

Just as the words were finished being written, a woman in a gray suit stopped in front of the table.

She picked up the brochure, glanced at it, and asked directly, "Is eight thousand a fixed salary?"

Lu Yunzhou looked up at her: "A fixed amount of eight thousand, with bonuses depending on the project's results."

The woman put the resume back on the table, a smile on her face: "I can accept these terms."

As soon as she sat down, her companion pulled out a chair for her.

Lu Yunzhou handed over two registration forms: "After you fill them out, we can discuss the work details."

The companion took the form but didn't pick up a pen.

How are work hours arranged?

She frowned.

"When projects are busy, follow the company's arrangements."

After Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, he pressed his palm down on the recruitment brochure.

The two women exchanged a glance, their previous smiles fading.

The woman in the gray suit pushed the registration form back: "We only work four days a week, and we have Fridays off."

Lu Yunzhou raised his eyes: "The company is currently scheduling shifts based on projects."

"There is also a pet boarding subsidy."

She held up one finger, "Something came up at home, so I sent my pet to boarding. The company will reimburse me."

Lu Yunzhou lowered his brows.

The woman next to her immediately added, "If you're not feeling well, you can apply for time off in lieu. Being emotionally unwell at work doesn't count as absenteeism."

She spoke with such conviction, tapping her fingers on the table.

The woman in the gray suit took back the registration form: "We also do live streaming. We have a fixed live streaming time every week, and we need to take leave from the live streaming venue on those days."

After listening, Lu Yunzhou stopped writing.

The project assistant hasn't even started yet, but a long list of holidays, allowances, and time off in lieu has already been drawn up.

He looked at the two of them: "Yuanchuan has just been established, and the contract only includes statutory holidays and project bonuses."

The woman in the gray suit's smile vanished: "You don't even offer any human compassion?"

She pulled her resume back, her movements filled with anger.

Another person stood up: "This kind of company only exploits its employees; we won't consider it."

The two left with the materials, leaving even the registration form on the table.

Lu Yunzhou watched them walk away, then raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.

These days, if you're hiring two assistants, you first need to address issues related to pets, live streaming, and personal well-being.

Engineering projects at least have contracts to negotiate, but recruiting people is difficult even to get started.

Lu Yunzhou sat back in the folding chair and lit a cigarette.

The cigarette butt lit up, and he spread the job posting on his lap and looked at it again.

The conditions weren't attractive enough, and the salary wasn't as high as that of large corporations.

Yuanchuan's reputation had just been established, and its office was still a rented old warehouse, so job seekers were naturally unwilling to gamble their future there.

He flicked the ash into the paper cup and prepared to clear the table.

A clear voice came from behind: "Are you still looking for a project assistant?"

Lu Yunzhou's hand holding the cigarette froze in mid-air.

He turned around and saw two young women standing in front of the table.

Both of them are over 1.7 meters tall, and when they stood in front of the narrow booth, the surrounding recruitment signs immediately looked half a head shorter.

The woman on the left is wearing a snow-white shirt and neatly tailored black trousers.

His collar was neatly buttoned, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and he was carrying a transparent document bag.

There was a certificate in the document bag.

Port Area Structural Engineer Qualification Certificate.

Her hair was tied back, and she wore only simple makeup, looking clean and neat.

The woman on the right is wearing a dark coat and has an old-fashioned tactical bag slung over her shoulder.

The corners of the cover were worn and frayed, and there were several scratches on the metal buckle.

She stood ramrod straight, her gaze first sweeping over the job postings before settling on Lu Yunzhou.

Those eyes were steady, and when they stared at someone, they were scrutinizing them.

Lu Yunzhou stubbed out his cigarette and pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down and let's talk."

The woman in the white shirt didn't sit down; instead, she placed her resume and certificates on the table.

"My name is Gu Nanqiao. I have experience in copywriting for large-scale engineering projects and in business negotiations."

She pushed the certificate in front of Lu Yunzhou.

"I can handle contract preparation, supplier communication, and meeting minutes."

Lu Yunzhou picked up the certificate and glanced at it, then opened her resume.

Gu Nanqiao has worked on three large-scale engineering projects, including being responsible for client reports and working on port renovation projects.

The companies listed on the resume are all well-known in the industry.

For someone like that to apply for a project assistant position, the position is a bit too low.

Lu Yunzhou looked up: "Why did you leave your previous company?"

Gu Nanqiao rested her hand on the edge of the file folder: "The project is finished, I want to move to another location."

The answer was brief and didn't go into much detail about the past.

Lu Yunzhou put the resume aside and turned to the other woman: "And you?"

The woman pulled out a chair and sat down, but didn't put the bag on the ground.

"Ye Zhiwei".

She handed over only a thin piece of personal information.

The work experience listed above is limited, consisting of only two on-site coordination and safety management records.

His academic qualifications weren't particularly impressive, but he had several certificates, all related to on-site engineering projects.

Lu Yunzhou glanced at the few lines of text, then pressed his palm down on the paper.

Have you ever done on-site safety management?

Ye Zhiwei raised her eyes: "I've done it."

Her answer was direct, and there was no flattery in her tone.

Gu Nanqiao turned her head and stared at her for a moment.

Ye Zhiwei moved the tactical bag to her side, revealing a rolled-up section of blueprints inside.

Lu Yunzhou's gaze fell on the blueprints: "The project assistant has to go to the site and handle miscellaneous tasks."

Ye Zhiwei looked at the job posting, her fingers pressing down on the strap of her bag.

"Are you hiring a regular assistant, or are you training someone to take the blame for the boss?"

Lu Yunzhou did not answer immediately.

The question sounded like a inquiry about work, but her tone betrayed a probing intent.

Gu Nanqiao also quieted down and her gaze fell on Lu Yunzhou's face.

Both men had engineering experience; one carried a port area structure certificate, and the other carried a worn-out tactical bag.

Their resumes and reactions were nothing like those of recent graduates looking for jobs.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the job posting and showed them the monthly salary of 8,000 yuan and the project bonus.

"Yuanchuan doesn't need office workers."

He put the brochure back on the desktop.

"Whoever can handle procurement, business development, and site coordination will stay."

Ye Zhiwei's gaze fell on his hand and lingered for two seconds.

Gu Nanqiao took back her certificate: "Is the salary calculated at eight thousand?"

"Starting salary is 8,000, bonuses depend on the project."
