Chapter 342: Chapter 280 Registration (Please Subscribe!)_1 The year 2005. April 18th. Monday morning. Tianyuan Building in downtown Qingyan City. This day, wearing what she thought was her best clothes, Zhang Jing arrived at the entrance of the building by bus, her hair tied up in a bun, her naturally beautiful face without makeup. It was the office hour, and white-collars dressed in suits and leather shoes were rushing in. Even if they weren’t running late, it wouldn’t look good if their boss or leader saw them dawdling around. Back when she was in school, Zhang Jing dreamed about working in such an office building, wearing nice and decent clothes. However, family issues deprived her of opportunities. She thought she would only be able to find odd jobs for the rest of her life, but then she met Tang Qing who offered her a chance to ’realize her dreams’. Half a year later, Tang Qing gave her a new starting point. She secretly vowed to work hard to repay Tang Qing for his generosity. "Hello, are you here for an interview?" As soon as she stepped into the elevator, someone approached her and started a conversation. Seeing Zhang Jing, who obviously looked like a job candidate, prompted others to strike up a conversation with boosting confidence. "Yes." Zhang Jing responded softly, yet nervously. "What company are you interviewing for?" A middle-aged man whose hair gleamed with wax asked. "Sky Eye Consulting." Zhang Jing answered truthfully. "What? Sky Eye Consulting? On the 18th floor?" The middle-aged man asked, surprised. By now, the name of Sky Eye had spread throughout the entire building. Everyone was envious of the gigantic headquarters they had built, which cost tens of millions of RMB. It was a company with high recruitment standards and although many people wanted to join, only a few made it. However, due to its confidentiality, outsiders didn’t know its real operating model or the companies they supervised, which would make them even more envious if they found out. "Yes." Zhang Jing confirmed. "That’s a difficult company to get into. What university did you graduate from?" The middle-aged man asked out of curiosity. He hadn’t heard Sky Eye was hiring recently. "I... graduated from high school." Zhang Jing answered truthfully. "What? You only graduated from high school? You might as well come to our company. Sky Eye is filled with elites who are at least undergraduate degree holders, many of them postgraduates, and even then, they must be outstanding students or possess work experience. Are you applying for a cleaning job? You’d be better off at our company." The middle-aged man had ill intentions. "I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in your company." Zhang Jing said with a frown. He looked down upon her educational background. There was nothing more to talk about. He should mind his own business. "Let me tell you, that company is not one you could get into..." The middle-aged man went on and on, but Zhang Jing ignored him completely. She could easily see the man was up to no good and didn’t want to stoop to his level. However, she was left with a deep, vivid impression of Sky Eye, a company everyone in the building envied. The man left the elevator on the 15th floor, not before forcefully stuffing a business card into Zhang Jing’s hand. If she wasn’t mindful about littering, she would have dropped it on the spot. After the crowded elevator ride, Zhang Jing arrived at Sky Eye’s floor, the 18th floor. Stepping out of the elevator, she let out a sigh of relief. She had heard the horror stories of taking the stairs in such a building and now her first experience left a deep impression. But as a person who had experienced all kinds of hardships, she accepted it with a casual attitude. Turning her head, Zhang Jing instantly saw the sign of Sky Eye. It was very big and very conspicuous. The receptionist was standing there with a smile. Zhang Jing quickly walked over. "Miss, who are you looking for?" the receptionist asked. Since the company didn’t have any external business, any stranger who came must be looking for someone. As for job interviews, the company wasn’t recruiting at the moment. "Hello, my name is Zhang Jing. I’m here to report for my first day." Zhang Jing said a bit shyly. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 The expression on the receptionist’s face changed and she suddenly realized, "Oh, it’s you. Please wait a moment. I’ll call Ms. He for you." She remembered that He Zixin had instructed her that a new employee would be reporting today. She wasn’t foolish, and immediately thought of someone pulling strings to get a job at Sky Eye. There were only two people who could do that in the company, one was Dou Jiao, the other was their young and rich boss. She didn’t dare to delay. "Yes." Zhang Jing replied. The receptionist hung up the phone and smiled, "Please wait a moment. We’ll be colleagues from now on, so let’s look after each other." No matter who Zhang Jing was connected with, they were all big shots—either the rich Tang Qing or the influential Dou Jiao. Absolutely amazing! After about ten seconds, He Zixin, wearing Sky Eye’s customized work uniform, came out to the sound of crisp high heels clicking against the floor. After coordinating with Sheng Tang Apparel last month, Sky Eye’s work clothes had also changed. Sheng Tang’s designers had redesigned new work clothes for Sky Eye, complete with stylish ensembles from top to bottom. "Hello, I’m He Zixin, one of the deputy general managers here." He Zixin walked up to Zhang Jing with a smile and extended her hand. She looked Zhang Jing up and down, the only person Tang Qing had arranged to bring into the company by the back door. She had been expecting her for several days since she received the phone call last week. Today, she didn’t notice anything in particular about her still, it seemed that further information would have to wait for later. Zhang Jing also quickly reached out and shook her hand, saying respectfully: "Hello, Manager He, I am Zhang Jing." "Um, come with me." After saying that, Zhang Jing followed He Zixin to her office. On the way past the Human Resources Department. "Give me the materials, Manager Fei, please handle Zhang Jing’s onboarding procedures." He Zixin handed Zhang Jing’s materials to Fei Hongwen, the HR manager. "All right." Fei Hongwen took the materials. He had been notified early on and quickly started the onboarding procedures. The Human Resources Department of Sky Eye was just a big partitioned office. Plus, there were only four of them, and only those above the deputy manager level would have individual offices. Although it was a bit cramped, thinking about the plan for Sky Eye’s headquarters made him full of energy. He also faintly guessed Tang Qing’s plan for a big move. He Zixin took Zhang Jing to her office and poured Zhang Jing a cup of tea. "Take a seat. Boss Tang has told me about your situation. After joining, you will first learn about the company’s system and business scope, receive a uniform, there will be a company system assessment on Wednesday, it’s not hard. The company has already signed you up for a special finance training class. You will go there on Thursday to start a one-month paid study. Because Boss Tang instructed so, you don’t have a probation period, you are directly a formal employee of the company, and will be treated according to the standard of new employees.". "But remember, even if you were introduced by Boss Tang, don’t be arrogant. Getting along with your colleagues, education is not important, the main thing is to have skills that you can be proud of. So study hard, ask if you don’t understand, there will be internal company assessments after graduation, and only then will you be assigned a position in the company. If your grades are really bad, I can only report it to Boss Tang." He Zixin said. "Thank you, Manager He, I will work hard." Zhang Jing said firmly. "No problem, Zhang Jing, are you related to Boss Tang?" Having finished discussing the serious matters, He Zixin began to gossip. "No, I just worked for... for Boss Tang." Zhang Jing told the truth, it was appropriate to say ’young boss’ before, but it is not appropriate here. Even this title ’Boss Tang’ sounds impersonal. "Oh? What kind of company? Sheng Tang? Dream Melody or others?" He Zixin asked curiously. Now Zhang Jing was puzzled and said, "Manager He, what is Sheng Tang? I used to work as a cashier in a small restaurant, this restaurant has Boss Tang’s shares." He Zixin immediately realized what she meant: "Oh, I see, it was that restaurant of Li Jianguo before, right?" Li Jianguo’s project has been their key focus these days. The preparation, strategic planning, market research and so on, Li Jianguo is simply an amateur, they at Sky Eye have to do it all. Fortunately, Li Jianguo is not the autocratic type and is willing to take advice. So now the catering company has been registered, and the basic strategy has also been approved. As long as the personnel are recruited, the whole company will be set up this week. "Yes." Zhang Jing nodded. "So you’ve been under Boss Tang since last year?" He Zixin said with some surprise. Through asking around, she knew when this restaurant opened, much earlier than their Sky Eye. It might even have been Tang Qing’s first investment project. Zhang Jing could be considered a veteran. It wouldn’t be too much to say she was the first employee to work with Tang Qing. He Zixin had a sudden realization. No wonder Tang Qing valued Zhang Jing so much, he would just place a person with only a high school education into Sky Eye. She also guessed Tang Qing’s intentions. Seeing Tang Qing being so sentimental, a smile appeared at the corner of He Zixin’s mouth. This kind of boss is really nice. After another ten minutes or so of conversation, He Zixin had an almost comprehensive understanding of Zhang Jing’s situation. Although Zhang Jing knew nothing, she didn’t dare to underestimate her. She called a friendly female employee to instruct Zhang Jing on the rules and regulations, to avoid any melodrama. If Zhang Jing suffered unfairness, was ostracized, and ridiculed here, and Tang Qing got angry, it would be troublesome. Although Tang Qing is usually easygoing, he puts a great emphasis on corporate culture and internal harmony. If his own company discriminates against Zhang Jing, Tang Qing would definitely take action if he was angry. Even if Tang Qing didn’t take action, Dou Jiao would. She was very aware of the degree to which Dou Jiao defended Tang Qing. With the introduction of a warmhearted colleague, Zhang Jing slowly learned that Tang Qing actually had such a huge industry. Others might not be clear about Tang Qing’s net worth, but the people at Sky Eye were very clear. With all kinds of capital injections and equity ownership over this period, they estimated conservatively that Tang Qing’s net worth was at least four hundred million RMB. The amount of money was outrageous. Seeing the huge plan for Sky Eye headquarters on the wall, Zhang Jing was also shocked. She knew that Tang Qing was rich, but being rich to this degree was terrifying. No wonder Tang Qing rarely went to the restaurant, it turned out that in Tang Qing’s view it was just an industry too small to be smaller, it was just a plaything. The profits from that were nothing in Tang Qing’s eyes. Looking at all the elite employees around her, and the good office environment, although it was a bit crowded, looking at the huge rendering on the wall, and hearing about the company’s excellent treatment, Zhang Jing was already content. Tang Qing had given her a starting point. She would not let Tang Qing down. PS: Another filler Chapter, luckily no one noticed, phew, that was close...
