Chapter 44 Recruitment Successfully Completed
"Ms. Su, thank you for believing in me." Lin Zhou suppressed his excitement and put on a sincere smile. "I'll treat you to lunch today, as a celebration of us becoming colleagues."
Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Lin Zhou, you're too kind. I should be thanking you for giving me this opportunity."
"Don't mention it. We'll be colleagues from now on, so helping each other is only right," Lin Zhou said. "Let's go. I know a nice tea restaurant nearby. Let's eat there."
The two walked out of the office building together. The midday sun was shining brightly, warming them. Su Wanqing's mood improved considerably, and her smile became radiant. Lin Zhou walked beside her, occasionally glancing at her, finding this afternoon exceptionally beautiful.
The tea restaurant was bustling with activity, filled with the aroma of food. Lin Zhou ordered several signature dishes: char siu rice, pineapple buns, and fish ball noodles—all popular Hong Kong delicacies. The two ate and chatted, their conversation ranging from factory matters to everyday anecdotes, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Su Wanqing discovered that although Lin Zhou claimed to lack formal education, he possessed broad knowledge and insightful views on domestic and international affairs and market trends. She increasingly felt that Lin Zhou was no ordinary person, and that his appliance factory was destined for great success.
Lin Zhou also gained a deeper understanding of Su Wanqing through his conversation with her. She was studying public administration at Hong Kong University and was a true high achiever. She originally had the opportunity to enter a top university abroad, but she returned to help at her family's factory to take care of her sick father. She was not only smart and capable, but also very responsible and caring towards the factory's employees.
After lunch, the two returned to Su's Radio Factory. With some time before the meeting, Su Wanqing went back to her office to organize documents, while Lin Zhou waited for the employees to arrive in the conference room.
At 2 p.m., the employees arrived at the factory one after another. Most of them looked worried, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety. After all, the factory had closed down, and everyone was facing the predicament of unemployment, not knowing what the future held.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Su Wanqing stepped forward and gestured for everyone to quiet down. "I've gathered you all here today to announce some important news. This gentleman next to me is Mr. Lin Zhou. He founded a home appliance factory and now needs to recruit a group of skilled workers. I've already spoken with Mr. Lin, and everyone in our factory can come and work there."
Upon hearing this, the employees immediately began to discuss among themselves, their faces showing surprise.
"An appliance factory? Is it reliable?"
"How are the salary and benefits?"
"Where is the address? Is it far?"
Lin Zhou raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then walked to the front and said with a smile, "Hello everyone. Let me briefly introduce my factory. My home appliance factory is located in Yuen Long, and it is currently under construction. It will be completed by the end of the month, and we can start production after the equipment is installed."
He paused, then continued, "I know you are all skilled and experienced technicians, which is exactly what I need. As long as you are willing to work in my factory, I guarantee the treatment will be no worse than here. The salary for ordinary employees is 200 to 300 yuan a month, and for management personnel it's 300 to 500 yuan, the same as your current salary level. In addition, I will provide dormitories and a canteen, so you don't need to worry about accommodation and meals."
"Also, Miss Su Wanqing has decided to join my factory as the administrative supervisor." Lin Zhou pointed to Su Wanqing beside him. "From now on, we will all work with Miss Su. I believe that with Miss Su's help, we will definitely be able to run the factory well."
The employees felt much more at ease when they heard that Su Wanqing would also be going. Su Wanqing had a very good reputation in the factory, and everyone trusted her. Moreover, Lin Zhou's offer was indeed quite good, including dormitory and canteen, which relieved everyone's worries.
"Mr. Lin, what products does your factory produce?" a young worker asked.
"I've developed a new product called an air fryer," Lin Zhou explained with a smile. "This air fryer can make fried food without oil, which is healthy and convenient, and has a very good market prospect. I've already registered a global patent, and in the future, our products will not only be sold in Hong Kong, but also exported overseas."
He gave a brief introduction to the functions and advantages of the air fryer, and the employees listened with great interest, their eyes gradually filling with anticipation.
"That sounds great! You can fry things without oil; it's sure to be popular."
"If we can sell our products overseas, our factory will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future."
"I think it's worth a try; it's better than staying at home without a job."
Everyone started discussing animatedly, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively. After a serious discussion, everyone reached a consensus: they were all willing to go with Lin Zhou to work at the new appliance factory.
"That's great!" Lin Zhou said happily. "Thank you all for your trust. After the factory is completed at the end of the month, I will send a car to pick you all up. Until then, you can take care of your own affairs. If you have any questions, you can contact me or Ms. Su at any time."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
"Mr. Lin, we'll work for you from now on!"
"I hope our factory will get better and better!"
The employees spoke, their faces breaking into long-lost smiles. The atmosphere became relaxed and enthusiastic, as if everyone had seen new hope.
Looking at the scene before her, Su Wanqing felt very gratified. She knew that these employees were the backbone of the factory, and they were willing to work for Lin Zhou not only because of the good benefits, but also because they were full of expectations for the future. She believed that under Lin Zhou's leadership and with everyone's joint efforts, the new factory would surely thrive and create brilliant achievements.
Looking at his employees and then at Su Wanqing beside him, Lin Zhou felt a surge of energy. With the equipment, the manpower, and the core talent in place, his small appliance factory was finally ready to officially launch. He knew the road ahead was long and fraught with difficulties, but he was confident he could overcome all challenges, bringing air fryers to every household and making his small appliance factory a leader in the industry.
As the sun set, golden sunlight bathed the rooftop of the Su's Radio Factory office building, casting a warm glow over the factory. After seeing the employees off, Lin Zhou and Su Wanqing stood side by side in front of the office building, gazing at the distant sky.
"Boss, we still have a lot to do," Su Wanqing said.
"Yes." Lin Zhou nodded. "Moving equipment, finishing up the factory, training employees, and preparing for the production of air fryers—there's a whole host of things waiting for us to handle."
"However, I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to do these things well." Su Wanqing looked at Lin Zhou with determination in her eyes.
Lin Zhou looked into her bright eyes and smiled slightly: "That's right, let's work together. Miss Su, I'll be relying on you from now on."
"Boss, you're too kind. It's what I should do," Su Wanqing said with a smile.
The two smiled at each other, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a beautiful glow upon them.
