NOVEL WEB Chapter 276 June Recruitment
```
Time flew by swiftly and days drifted lazily, and before we knew it, it was already late June.
On her vacation, Chen An'an followed her dad to work at Tengying Group. When she was in Capital City, she'd already played the role of a junior CEO.
Now in this part, her Dad even specially set up an office for her. If you asked what she was in charge of, it was probably about how to spend money.
Chen Pingsheng sat in his own office, and the spoiled brat also sat solemnly beside him.
Her Dad was her idol after all, he managed to grow the company so much even with just a middle school education.
Being one of the last in her class ranking, she too, could become a good junior CEO, right?
The junior secretary Zhang Wanyi brought him a report, "Boss, this month's release of 'The Vanishing It' made a huge box office hit. Up to now, it has reached 1.6 billion. Director Chen has applied to shoot 'Detective Tang 2,' but the investment will exceed five hundred million. Here is the 'Detective Tang 2' script he wrote."
This Chen Sicheng really is talented, with each film he makes becoming a blockbuster success.

Now he is applying to the group for an investment of five hundred million to make a movie. Chen Pingsheng used 'Golden Finger' to take a look, and was impressed.
It turned out to be another top three film of the year, a classic case of great investment yielding great income.
Chen Pingsheng signed his full name on the project application, "Let the finance department allocate the funds to him. Also, give him an additional fifty million as a reward for the box office success."
Zhang Wanyi nodded. Beside this report that needed signing, there was also the grand ceremony of the super factory scheduled for the last day of this month.
On that day, many VIPs would attend, including the Minister from the Ministry of Electronic Industry, who would personally be there to participate.
One could say it was a major event.
The detailed reception procedures would be provided by the group.
It included every detail inside.
For instance, which car to use for pick-ups, and who would be the driver etc.
All these needed to be arranged in advance. On that day, there would certainly be a large number of media journalists on-site.
With the Minister from the Ministry of Electronic Industry attending, Chen Pingsheng was sure to be present as well, and he would have to participate in media interviews afterward.
This would also be the Tengying Group owner's first formal interview with financial media journalists.
The group had notified all the media they invited.
They made sure the interview process would go smoothly.
These matters were handled by specialized people, even detailed into a list. All he had to do was sign his name on it.
"Boss, the recruitment of fresh talent managed by President Chu has also entered the final stages. We have recruited two thousand new employees, and over ninety percent are from rural college students in remote areas. Some people online have compiled statistics on our group's recruitment plan and even maliciously posted saying we disregard Magic City's local university students."
"Playing the same old tricks again?"
It didn't bother Chen Pingsheng. Last time because of this, the stock price plummeted for over two months.
It ended up making him a net profit of thirty-five billion through the repurchase of stocks. It was unlikely to happen again this time.
"Did you find the person who made the post?"
"We did." Zhang Wanyi took out a profile sheet and handed it to him, "The one maliciously attacking us is a large company that specializes in Internet astroturfing. Their main business is to help stars or companies create hype and marketing online."
"Our public relations department thinks there are deliberate targets against us. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the gall to attack us blindly like this."
"If there's this suspicion, then investigate. Collect the evidence against this company first and notify the legal department to handle it."
Chen Pingsheng thought it was quite normal. Tengying Group had developed to the point today where it was no longer a humble player.
It had become number one in various industries.
In this process, it must have obstructed many people's paths to wealth; retaliatory attacks were to be expected.
After some thought, Zhang Wanyi mentioned, "Chen, Qiuyan messaged me asking if you could attend the group's recruitment lecture this time."
"I'll go, why wouldn't I?"
Chen Pingsheng said, "If others still think they can attack us on this front, I'll let them see that Tengying Group is no longer the fragile enterprise it once was."
Since when was our group ever fragile!
Zhang Wanyi was really puzzled.
Since her university days, she had always heard about how formidable Tengying was.
After joining, she found it was even better than she'd imagined.
The only pity, as Bai Xin once said, was that when the group was still small and had few people, the boss would easily give out tens of millions in bonuses.
```
Every person could get a bonus of up to a few hundred thousand.
In the year with the highest payouts, they distributed bonuses six times.
Back then, they often said that even cleaning toilets in Tengying would yield an annual salary of a million.
As for Bai Xin, that was even more exaggerated.
In the best year, she received over twenty million just in bonuses.
That's how she got her houses; three years of work, three properties. Who wouldn't envy her?
He didn't attend the last recruitment talk; this time, he must.
It was also a strong message to the external world.
The main reason Chu Qiuyan didn't tell him directly was probably for fear of being rejected.
The group would recruit new people every year, and this recruitment was particularly significant.
The main reason being that the group of candidates was special.
The spoiled brat sat earnestly the whole morning wearing toad sunglasses; you'd think she was diligently studying.
Lift her sunglasses, and you find two fake eyes stuck underneath.
Remove the fake eyes, and she's already fast asleep, almost sniveling.
Chen Pingsheng didn't hesitate to smack her head.
"Who hit me?"
Chen An'an looked left and right, only then sure it was her dad who had smacked her.
"Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Did I bring you here to sleep? And you're sleeping so soundly?"
"It's not like that; I fell asleep because I was listening too intently."
The chubby Chen An'an explained without a trace of embarrassment, her face not turning red, her heart not skipping a beat.
Chen Pingsheng asked Zhang Wanyi to inform Chu Qiuyan that he would definitely attend the recruitment assembly in the afternoon.
After Zhang Wanyi left, she relayed the task in her hands.
The boss had missed the recruitment talk in March.
Suddenly, so many attacking internet trolls popped up online, even attempting to incite resentment against Tengying Group for alleged discrimination against Magic City university students.
A statement from the big boss might be the best response to the outside world.
Zhang Wanyi went to the legal department, asking them to handle the matter of the internet trolls.
In addition, she requested the PR department to prepare materials, also to disseminate the big boss's speech in the afternoon.
"Secretary Zhang, did the big boss mention how to deal with these internet trolls?"
The head of the PR department asked curiously.
"Not yet; we'll probably have to wait until after the big boss's speech this afternoon."
Zhang Wanyi said, "Minister Liu, please prepare as soon as possible. I feel that the boss's speech this time won't be simple; it might also be a strong counterstrike against the outside world."
"It should be; our group can't always be attacked like this by others, that's not okay."
Minister Liu whispered, "I heard that the Hua brothers are mainly behind the attacks on us. Our group has been too prominent in the movie market this year, prompting them to keep sending people to attack us."
Zhang Wanyi, even if naive, had already suspected as much.
Only the Hua brothers, with substantial influence in the entertainment industry, could quickly mobilize millions of trolls to launch large-scale attacks on them.
"Let's not speculate. The big boss is so capable he must have thought of that; if he hasn't acted yet, it's probably because he has his own plans."
Zhang Wanyi figured the big boss was so busy, he was about to host important figures from Capital City in a few days; naturally, he wouldn't have time for such trivial matters now.
After the Magic City super-factory officially broke ground, the next venture, a forty-billion investment spreading over hundreds of acres for the Tengfei Industrial Park, was also about to commence construction.
Perhaps by next year, their group could own a vast industrial park in Magic City.
With such a development trend, all pettiness might seem like mere devils and demons in the big boss's eyes.
