Talent is hard to find. Xie Sui now needs a comprehensive management talent. Later, he will acquire many factories, and Xie Sui is thinking of establishing his own group. Group management is on the agenda.
The economy is not good now. Holding a job fair is a good opportunity to pick up some talented people.
Seeing Xie Sui's silence and unhappy expression, Zhou Xingxing felt a little uneasy. "Mr. Xie, am I not doing well enough?"
Xie Sui smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, this isn't your forte anyway. Take your time. Mistakes are not to be feared, as long as they can be corrected.
You can go down now and ask Liu Mengqiang to see me."
"Okay."
Zhou Xingxing was very moved. Mr. Xie was his reborn benefactor, treating him exceptionally well.
Liu Mengchao entered, "Mr. Xie, you asked for me. Are we talking about the movie? I've already contacted some equipment and was just about to look for you."
"That's easy to discuss. I've just found a good screenwriter. You two should meet. To make a good movie, a screenwriter is very important. Later, find a good producer, and let's start shooting as soon as possible."
"As for producers, I do know a few. I can help Mr. Xie ask if they have any intention of changing jobs."
It's more suitable to poach existing talent now. Xie Sui was direct, "Okay, salary is not an issue. If you find someone truly capable, contact me at the company once you've made arrangements."
"Alright, Mr. Xie is a straightforward person. I'll go get busy."
Xie Sui returned to the company, and the receptionist said, "Mr. Xie, someone is looking for you. They are waiting in your office."
"Who is it?"
"They're surnamed Jun, from the Jun family. An elder and Young Master Jun."
Xie Sui raised an eyebrow. "Well, well, the main players have finally arrived. I thought we would be fighting behind the scenes for a long time."
Upon entering, he saw two people sitting on the sofa. Young Master Jun was slumped on it as if he had no bones, with his legs crossed. Elder Jun, however, sat steadily, leaning on a cane, paying no mind to his son's informality.
"Sorry to have kept you both waiting."
Xie Sui greeted them politely. Young Master Jun raised an eyelid and sneered, "You certainly put on airs. No one has ever dared to keep an elder waiting this long!"
Ah Hua's expression darkened, and his fists clenched. He could only wait for his boss's command to slap him. How dare he speak to Brother Xie like that?
Who does he think he is?
Before he could act, Xie Sui delivered a slap, back and forth, that stunned Young Master Jun. "You dare to hit me... You old bastard..."
Before he could finish, more slaps followed, leaving his mouth bloody.
Elder Jun's face was full of anger, "Mr. Xie, what are you doing? Hitting my son in front of me, do you not have me in your eyes? Young people, don't be too arrogant."
Xie Sui patted Young Master Jun's head, like petting a dog, preventing him from moving. The blows made his head buzz.
"Dad, save me!"
Xie Sui said, "Elder Jun, before you criticize others, take a look at what kind of person your son is!
Who are you calling 'old bastard'? Is it that easy to be an 'old bastard'?
You can't even teach your son properly. I'm doing you a favor by teaching him for free. Do you have any objections?"
Elder Jun looked at him coldly. Xie Sui pushed Young Master Jun away, his head hitting the coffee table with a loud thud, causing a large lump. He couldn't help but cry out, "Dad, it hurts so much."
Xie Sui couldn't help but laugh. He was over twenty years old, acting like a child, crying and complaining. Such a person only has a good father; otherwise, he would have been played to death countless times.
"Stop wailing. You can cry when your old man is dead."
Xie Sui sat in his office chair, "You two, what do you want? Are you here to declare war openly since you couldn't harm me behind my back?
Fine, I'll play along, whether it's in writing or by force, I'll accept it all."
At this moment, calling himself "old bastard" had some imposing effect, but Xie Sui didn't want a foolish son like Young Master Jun. He deserved to die young.
Elder Jun suppressed his anger and stood up, "Mr. Xie, I came with sincerity. The previous incidents were misunderstandings. My son was misled. He has no enmity with you."
Xie Sui smiled playfully, "Who did it? To act in his name, it must be his confidant, right?"
Someone was brought in from outside. It was Secretary Jin. Xie Sui raised an eyebrow. He remembered this person quite well—capable and loyal. Was he being used as a scapegoat?
"Secretary Jin misunderstood my son's intentions and sent people to attack you. I will hand him over to you for disposal. This time, my Jun family is giving you face. Let's consider the past bygones, how about it?"
Xie Sui smiled meaningfully, "Alright, but I saved him from the kidnappers. Your family saved ten billion. If you truly want to apologize to me and resolve this, pay me ten billion. That was the original agreement."
Elder Jun: "Wasn't it five hundred million?"
Xie Sui: "If you had spoken nicely and fulfilled your promise, five hundred million would have been a friendly price. But considering the scoundrel he is, calling him a 'white-eyed wolf' is flattering him. Ten billion, not a cent less."
Elder Jun was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Alright, I'll pay this money, but you must guarantee not to lay a hand on my son. We'll mind our own business."
"Okay, I swear."
Xie Sui raised his hand as if to swear, "I, Xie Sui, keep my word. I will never hold grudges against Young Master Jun. Honestly, he's like a child to me. I wouldn't deign to deal with him."
Elder Jun felt this was appropriate. When a person reaches a certain social status, their words carry weight. Xie Sui was now a significant figure and wouldn't bother with a spoiled young master.
"Thank you. The money will be transferred to your company's account. Goodbye."
"Ah Hua, escort them out."
Young Master Jun covered his mouth, looking at Xie Sui with resentment. Xie Sui shrugged, "Not convinced? You're welcome to seek revenge. I think Elder Jun's painstaking efforts were in vain. I'm quite happy. It'll be fun to play with you until you're finished. You broke the promise first."
"Get back, and if you dare cause trouble again, I'll pretend I don't have a son like you."
Young Master Jun had no choice but to leave, undoubtedly resentful in his heart. But that was fine. Xie Sui was happy to see him unable to act despite his displeasure.
Secretary Jin, tied on the ground, his mouth gagged, remained motionless, as if dead.
Xie Sui squatted down to look at him, "Are you still alive?"
Secretary Jin's eyeballs flickered, but there was no spark of life. This kid thought he was completely finished.
Xie Sui pulled the gag out of his mouth and said, "You're my person now. Don't be so listless, it's depressing.
The Jun family has no foresight. I actually thought you were quite good before. You might as well follow me. Continue as my secretary. I'm short of staff here. Do you want to come?"
Secretary Jin looked incredulous, "You're not going to kill me?"
Xie Sui: "Do I look like a ruthless killer? Why would I kill you? Those who owe debts should pay them, and involving innocents is the act of a weakling. Am I that kind of person?"
A flicker of hope appeared in Secretary Jin's eyes, "Mr. Xie, aren't you afraid this is a ploy by the Jun family, sending me to be a mole?"
Xie Sui looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Do they have that kind of intelligence? Besides, you're not that valuable. Is it worth going to such lengths to plant a mole? You watch too many movies, don't you?"
Ah Hua returned and untied him. Secretary Jin sat on the sofa to rest for a while. After drinking a cup of coffee, he suddenly burst into tears, "I thought I was dead. I just proposed to my girlfriend. I don't want to die..."
Xie Sui patted his shoulder, "You won't die. You'll live even better in the future. You didn't meet a good boss before. The Jun family treated you like this today. Do you want revenge?"
"Forget it. Young Master Jun is indeed difficult, with a violent temper, and is a cruel and inhumane pervert. But he helped me complete my university studies. We were classmates in college. I'll just consider it repaying his kindness."
Xie Sui liked him even more. Loyal subordinates are hard to find.
"Go back and rest for two days, spend quality time with your girlfriend, and then come to work."
"Thank you, Mr. Xie. I definitely will..."
"No need for empty promises. Go back, take a shower, have a good meal. It's all in the past."
Secretary Jin left. Ah Hua asked him, "Brother Xie, are you still going to deal with Young Master Jun? Didn't you just swear?"
Xie Sui: "I swore, but I didn't say I wouldn't take action. Even if I did, if men's oaths could be trusted, pigs could climb trees.
Go outside and see how many people who swore are struck down by lightning from the heavens."
Ah Hua: "..."
He was too naive. The boss was insidious.
Xie Sui summoned Ah Nan and asked him to prepare for a job fair. Xie Sui would personally recruit. He also produced a set of rules and regulations to be posted in all company offices, requiring everyone to abide by them.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Ah Nan was also improving, taking notes in his small notebook with a serious and earnest expression.
"Secretary Jin will be coming to work. Arrange for his onboarding. Treat him as a formal employee from the start."
"Then what about Secretary Yao?"
Secretary Yao was someone he found. Ah Nan had to take responsibility for him.
"Him? Let him continue for now. I don't think he'll last long."
Ah Nan didn't think much of it and went out to make arrangements.
Xie Sui called Secretary Yao in and instructed him, "Book my ferry ticket for the day after tomorrow. I need to return to Shenzhen."
Secretary Yao agreed and asked some questions about the itinerary before going off to work.
Xie Sui muttered to himself, "I hope you don't disappoint me."
The acquisition of Jun family stocks was still ongoing. They had already acquired forty percent, costing Xie Sui over ten billion yuan. While it seemed like a lot, the stock price had already significantly decreased. Before the stock market crash, it would have cost more than ten times the amount.
Xie Sui had used most of his money on this matter. The Jun family's industries were spread throughout Macau. Although their main business was gambling, they also had many real estate properties, including office buildings. Xie Sui was not interested in the gambling business, but in their real estate and other industries.
Of course, Elder Jun's personal assets also included many properties. Even if the group went bankrupt, he would live very well.
He personally came forward to clean up the mess for his illegitimate son. Xie Sui felt that he was about to make a major move.
He dared not be careless. An old fox was still an old fox. The outcome was uncertain until the very last moment.
The phone rang, and Xie Sui answered, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Weiguo. Brother-in-law, I want to visit Hong Kong. Is that okay?"
It was his younger brother-in-law. Xie Sui was very surprised by his sudden desire to visit Hong Kong and found it unusual.
