Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Over the years, if you wanted to talk about the Tengying Group being the focus of attention from the outside world,

you could easily list many things.

But for recent college graduates, what truly earns their respect for the Tengying Group are its unique management style and high salaries.

Its management is different from that of typical groups; here you can freely file complaints or reports against your immediate superiors.

If proven true, you might even take their place.

This is one aspect.

Though it may seem like a minor difference, it is indeed a tremendous benefit for college students or ordinary office workers.

It can directly prevent most bureaucratic malpractices in the workplace.

Of course, if your report is found to be deliberately targeted, you will be fired on the spot.

This also serves to maintain the absolute authority and dignity of management.

The platform of Tengying puts a strong emphasis on fairness; no matter who you are, starting under the same circumstances, it all comes down to personal ability.

No underhanded transactions, favors, or networking.

If verified, you would be fired immediately—no exaggeration.

However, apart from investing tens of billions in new energy sources over the past six months,

what has attracted the most attention to the Tengying Group is probably its recruitment plan.

"Is the big boss really going to come give us a lecture this afternoon?"

"Definitely, the notification was already sent out in the intern group."

In the group's cafeteria, at the window in the western corner, new interns filled the seats.

They were also recent college graduates, most of whom were visiting Magic City for the first time.

Actually, when Tengying was recruiting new talent, they just applied to try their luck.

After all, if you're still sending out resumes and going to interviews, it doesn't take a guess to know.

Their parents are not influential.

For those with influence, plans have been arranged for their children from the moment they start school.

A seat for every turnip, such positions would never come their way; even if their grades were better, it wouldn't matter.

And for recruitment at those large corporations, unless you are truly exceptional or come from prestigious universities like Qingbei,

you simply cannot get in.

Tengying, also a large group, shines a ray of light on college students born in remote mountain areas with each recruitment cycle.

Most of them only know how to get things done and are not too familiar with the urban interpersonal relationships.

They inevitably feel somewhat out of place in such first-tier cities.

Shen Youwei from Chuancheng is one such person.

Not very good at talking and even less keen on socializing.

She only found out about Tengying Group's recruitment through a classmate in the village and went to an internet café to send their resumes together.

Anxiously waiting for many days, fearing a repeat of their applications vanishing without a trace,

she received a call from Tengying's HR department on June 20th,

asking her to come for an interview.

To be honest, she was worried about wasting money on travel due to the distance.

They came together by train; stammering when answering questions, the HR department could visibly tell they were very nervous.

Shen Youwei was indeed nervous; she had researched a lot before coming.

Entering Tengying Group was not just a dream, it was the future.

If she didn't make it, she feared she would never get such a good opportunity again.

She thought she was going to be eliminated because, if it were up to her, she would have definitely eliminated someone like herself who couldn't speak clearly.

She cried an entire afternoon, only to receive a notification from HR the next day.

She had been successful in her application and could move to the single-occupancy apartment prepared by Tengying Group.

No longer needing to live in the extremely expensive tiny rooms that cost hundreds a day.

Shen Youwei's feelings that day were hard to describe; during the five-day onboarding training within the group, she learned,

most of the interns were just like her, coming from remote small mountain areas.

Through their own diligence and hard work, they had step by step made their way from small towns to the big city.

They were also just as nervous as she was during the assessment.

Over the next few days, Shen Youwei learned not only about the group,

but also about the story behind the creation of the group.

As the group's chairman often told everyone, when he first founded Tengying, all he wanted was to allow his wife and children to live in a decent house in Capital City.

He never dreamed that the group would grow so big in just a few years.

The big boss's personal lecture is at two o'clock this afternoon. To say you're not nervous would be a lie.

Shen Youwei had secured a decent spot early on, with two thousand people packing the area to its full capacity.

Apart from some bustling discussions,

there were no loud conversations.

The host for their event was none other than Chu Qiuyan, the most famous college entrepreneurship goddess on the internet.

Although they were about the same age, she was already the executive president of Bobo Milk Tea and the vice president of Antler Coffee.

How many people her age could claim to hold the presidency of two listed companies?

Chen Pingsheng took the stage, as approachable and casual as ever.

You simply couldn't sense any sort of aloofness of a major boss in him.

On the contrary, he was quite down-to-earth.

Chen Pingsheng said, "I've noticed something, the head of the HR department reported to me that at least ninety percent of you couldn't speak clearly during your interviews."

"She was quite concerned about your abilities."

"I said that was perfectly normal. Take my own daughter, for example. When she was younger, she lived in a tiny rented room, and when her parents weren't around, she had to cook noodles for herself. She was really timid then, too scared to speak to strangers."

"But as we began to have money, she changed, turned into a chatterbox and social butterfly. If she saw a Women's Director on the street, she could march up, hands behind her back, cough twice for effect, and say, 'Hello, Leader.'

"You see, that's the difference between having and not having money."

"Here's a very realistic problem, you all get nervous in luxury stores or five-star hotels, while my daughter would only behave as casually as if she were walking in her own house."

"So, I told the HR director that their inability to speak clearly wasn't due to lack of ability but because they got their start differently than those city folks, which is why they were nervous."

"And it's precisely for this reason that we should offer them the chance to change their fate by joining Tengying Group."

Shen Youwei finally understood why, despite her nervousness and inarticulateness during the assessment, she was still exceptionally recruited by such a large corporation.

It turned out that everything was because the boss knew why they were nervous, and he also understood the reasons for their nervousness.

Unlike other companies that would have turned them away because of it.

"I remember when I first went to Capital City to look for a job, I thought it was because I lacked education, so none of the big corporations wanted me. Later, I realized that even those with degrees were being turned away just the same."

"Especially the good slots, the 'carrot positions', had already been reserved."

"This is unfair to many people, but Tengying strives to create fairness. That's why I was the first to endorse Chu Qiuyan's principle of 'three no's recruitment' when she announced it publicly in Capital City."

"Even after facing a lot of criticism and attacks from an army of online trolls, I didn't change that principle."

"Because I believe society needs fairness, and we, the bosses who have grown into towering trees, need to reflect on the roads we've traveled and always remind ourselves."

"We are just among the many, only with the collective efforts of thousands of employees, do I have the opportunity to stand here and deliver this speech to you."

"So, thinking back on ourselves, we should provide an excellent shelter for those of you without umbrellas."

"A couple of years ago, when I returned to the countryside, I found that at least eighty percent of the farmland was lying fallow, untended and un-sown."

"To be honest, it was disheartening; the days when land equaled life and security are long gone. Since then, I've been pondering what charity really is and where the future of the rural areas lies?"

"Subsequently, I established Tengnong Fresh Produce within the Group, aiming to use the group's influence to lease that fallow land at a price far above the market rate."

"And then, utilizing the resources we already had, we allocated ten billion in funds to set up a department for agricultural and husbandry technology."

"We've only just started this work, and we can't talk about having achieved much yet."

"But in the future, I hope the rent from this agricultural land will become a dependable support for most elderly people in the countryside, ensuring they have something to rely on."

"And perhaps even a significant source of income for rural families."

"Therefore, the Group is firmly committed to promoting and developing this project, and we plan to invest at least another fifty billion in the next three years to lease more fallow rural land."

"Personally, I see this as a corporate responsibility."

The applause was thunderous; those not born in the countryside

couldn't truly grasp the significance of this project.

Crops grown in the countryside have become unbelievably cheap.

Thinking of making money off the land, you might as well just give it up and go to sleep.

Now, suddenly, a major corporation like this offers eighty thousand per acre to rent your unprofitable land.

Isn't that like owning a golden storefront in the city?

At this point, all they could hope for was for him to keep this up indefinitely.

They shouldn't harbor any other thoughts.

It wasn't just Shen Youwei who was deeply moved, the applause from the more than nineteen hundred interns also lasted for a long time.

This led to a delay in their reaction when the time came to disburse the bonuses.

An entry bonus of one hundred million for five thousand interns.

It was really because Chen Pingsheng knew they were broke right after graduation—it was his personal gift to help them adapt to society.

It wasn't easy for their parents to support them until college graduation, and it was even more inappropriate to ask their families for money.

Chen Pingsheng, whose money was more than he could ever spend, always believed in internal charity.

If his own employees weren't living well, what was the point of donating to outsiders?

Wouldn't that be neglecting all his employees for the sake of one person's reputation?

What meant little to him, a minor goal, could actually allow Shen Youwei and the others to settle down in the big city with peace and stability.
