Chapter 395 Interviewer from Hell
Li Yan did not participate deeply in the personnel recruitment work, he handed it over to Wang Zi, the head of internal affairs.

I just specifically emphasized that we should not only focus on the current recruitment work. The real focus of the human resources team's subsequent work is the human resources management of the company's nearly 200 people.

As for the company's structure, Li Yan asked Wang Zi to come up with a plan for him.

As a housekeeper from a large company, it is not difficult to come up with a personnel management structure plan for a startup company.

But she had a hard time writing, and she had hallucinations while writing. She could always see Li Yan waving his hands and making comments, muttering madly, "I can do it, I can do it"...

Working in this company, or working under Li Yan, cannot be treated with normal logic at all.

Wang Zi felt that her original intention of entering the future technology field was gradually drifting away...

But the new experience now is also very good. Since the successful development of the Luoshen core, her husband Zhao Ke has often expressed his envy.

Zhao Ke believes that Wang Zi is participating in a very remarkable project, the kind that can change the world and history.

As for Sun Miao, Shang Jie and Cao Haibin, they received the task from Li Yan to "stop the current work and start the interview tomorrow."

It was not until then that they realized that Li Yan had scheduled most of the interviews for tomorrow.

"You don't have to feel any psychological pressure, just be free to express yourself. If you think someone is suitable, just ask them to come to my office to find me. Send me their resume at the same time."

“We have to interview…almost three hundred people in one day?” Sun Miao was stunned.

"There are three of you. Each of you can do 100. Each of you can do it in three minutes. That's only 300 minutes, or five hours. Is that difficult?"

"Interviewing a talent for only three minutes?" Shang Jie was also dumbfounded.

"You can tell whether there is any stock or not just by asking." Li Yan smiled, "It's a very simple criterion. If you think the stock is at least as good as yours, put it up for me."

"Wow," Cao Haibin became interested, "If I can't put any of them in, will President Li blame me?"

"I can see the resume." Li Yan continued to smile, "If you don't post it, there must be a reason for not posting it."

"What are the elimination rate requirements, Mr. Li?" Sun Miao asked.

"It's up to you. You can put all three hundred of them up."

That night, the number "three hundred" suddenly became "four hundred".

Many talented people who are preparing to participate in the interview are already staying in hotels in New Taipei City.

This recruitment has become a small pilgrimage in the technology circle.

That night, Huang Zhan suddenly called Li Yan and showed a rare state of entanglement and awkwardness. He wanted Li Yan to come out for a midnight snack and have a "small gathering".

Li Yan immediately guessed his true meaning:

"Boss Huang, don't worry. I don't need anyone from the Chuang Clan to join me."

"That's not what I meant," Huang Zhan, who was seen through, said frankly, "Where to work is always a personal freedom. If the Chuang Clan can't keep him, it's either because he has no chance, or it's time for me to reflect on myself."

"Mr. Huang is frank."

Huang Zhan laughed, "Besides, our cooperative relationship is there, so it can be considered a friendly exchange."

You are obviously afraid.

"That's right," Huang Zhan added, "I heard that many young talents and even key business leaders in Shangjing have extended olive branches to you?"

"I was the one extending them an olive branch," Li Yan corrected.

Huang Zhan laughed. "I chose the wrong wording. Your project is indeed very attractive. To be honest, many of the talents who are developing W9 here are also very interested in Jiaolong mobile phones."

"Then let's develop W9 first, so that we can have experience and switch jobs."

"Oh," Huang Zhan smiled and then sighed, "I never tell lies. It is the employees' freedom to choose their company. I just hope that Mr. Li will show some mercy and not actively offer an olive branch to my employees. No matter how inferior W9 is to Jiaolong, it still has to come out and make some noise."

In fact, Huang Zhan had already figured out Li Yan's thoughts through his previous few probing words, and only then did he have the confidence to speak the "truth".

This actually reduces the value of this sincerity.

"I have already completed the 'active' part of this recruitment." Li Yan said with a smile, "It's too late to screen now, so why would I want to poach people?"

"Then many bosses will be relieved." Huang Zhan also laughed, and then changed the subject, "Hey, Mr. Li, don't you have any... talents you like? I saw that you went to find Zhou Yang, Li Guangde and Sun Miao at the beginning, so you won't take the initiative now?"

The state and tone of Huang Zhan's current conversation with Li Yan showed a bit of curiosity and a hint of seeking advice, which was very different from the state when he first came into contact with Li Yan.

"There's no need." Li Yan replied.

Huang Zhan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, and asked again: "But why are you starting the recruitment now? It will take a month to complete the system, and the recruitment alone will take up several days. It's already the 6th. I always thought you were still planning to use a cooperative approach."

"It's okay. We'll have a basic team tomorrow. These few days won't be a big deal."

Li Yan's train of thought is indeed not something that can be understood by an ordinary brain.

Huang Zhan was choked by these two answers and didn't know what to say.

Li Yan further explained, "I don't want to cooperate because I want to save some communication costs and see what I can do if I really give it to them."

As a result, Huang Zhan became even more confused.

What does "really do it for them" mean?
"You mean, you're not going to get involved in the development of the Hetu system?"

"At least in the early stages. I want to see if everyone can walk well after I have paved the way for everyone."

"Is the road paved?"

"This group of people don't need to adapt to the work. I have drawn up a plan that is more detailed than the division of labor in the Luoshen core. It is basically equivalent to assigning homework to everyone who joins the team, even group homework."

Is this what you do in early December?
"You only set a month for yourself!" Huang Zhan couldn't hold it in any longer. "Do you even have time for trial and error?"

"Mr. Huang, how long do you think the kernel actually took?"

Hey... you can't play like this, right?

Huang Zhan finally understood Li Yan's answers of "no need" and "a few days won't matter". The answer behind them was the same:
"I am enough."

That’s why Li Yan doesn’t care whether he can recruit top talents or not, or whether the construction period is tight or not.

It's crazy, crazy. Either Huang is crazy or the world is crazy.

So Li Yan successfully made Huang Zhan suffer from insomnia with just a few words.

I've been suffering from a lot of insomnia lately.

At 12:7 in the morning on December , more than thirty people had gathered downstairs of the Future Technology Company.

"Why are these people so enthusiastic..." Xiao Gao, who was observing through the window, looked excited.

"You don't know how lucky you are. Future technology will be extremely attractive to outsiders." Wen Xin, the newly recruited young human resources specialist, smiled. Although she is only in her twenties, she graduated with third place in the country's top human resources university and was transferred to a provincial government agency to work in personnel for several years. She is the kind of person that Xiao Gao would say "Wow" after reading his resume.

"Of course not. Someone like you with such a promising future can jump out of the system. It must be very attractive to you." Another HR lady, Ms. Zheng, said with a smile. She has worked in HR for many years in large factories, large private enterprises and state-owned enterprises. She is very experienced and also has a lot of experience in financial positions.

"Don't mention it. I'd get bored of that place after a year. The so-called bright future is far less attractive than coming here." Wen Xin processed the information in an orderly manner.

"What attracts you? The young, handsome, talented and wealthy Boss Li?"

"Sister Zheng, you're joking. Mr. Li... is too young, there's no way it's my turn." Wen Xin shook her head.

"How is she small? Look at her body shape, she has grown up a long time ago!" Sister Zheng said with a laugh.

Then the entire HR office burst into laughter.

Li Yan was sitting in the office when she suddenly shuddered, as if she was suddenly stared at by some malicious gaze.

"Mr. Li, should we let them come in first?" Wang Zi said, "I have already arranged the venue, and the three interviewers are in place one by one."

"We only let in 27 people who lived farther away. The remaining six were all from New Taipei City. We didn't arrange for them to come in so early. We asked them to wait first."

Wang Zi was too lazy to ask Li Yan how she knew the numbers 27 and 6. Now if she was told that this boss could remember all the information on the resumes and analyze the personnel composition from a high vantage point like a surveillance camera, she would believe it.

In fact, it does.

Bai Shuyun's interview time is 2:30 p.m.

He is 27 years old, tall, likes to wear loose shirts, black-framed glasses, has fair skin, and has a strong scholarly air. In his growing environment, he is also a "famous genius".

I skipped a grade in high school and applied to Huazhong University. In my junior year, I went abroad to study because of my excellent performance in computer competitions and my wealthy family. After graduation, I joined GuGou Company and worked there for two years before switching to Win headquarters, where I accumulated very valuable development experience.

I never stopped learning during this period, so even in world-renowned technology giants such as Google and Win, I was one of those with strong business capabilities.

The main reason for returning to China this time was because of my parents’ request.

Bai Shuyun was dissatisfied with this. He always felt that the domestic science and technology research and development environment was very boring and not free. There was no company that could interest him, no matter how high the salary was.

Until he heard about future technology.

I can’t describe what kind of emotions I feel: curiosity, suspicion, excitement, jealousy…

Anyway, Bai Shuyun flew from Shanghai to New Taipei.

The interview time arranged for him was at 2:30 p.m. He arrived in New Taipei City in the morning and rushed here after lunch.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, an employee from the front desk on the first floor of Future Technology directed him to the meeting room to wait.

wait?

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Shuyun saw nearly fifty people sitting and waiting for interviews.

No one showed any surprise at the arrival of the newcomer, and it seemed that they were used to it.

"There are quite a lot of people..." This was Bai Shuyun's first thought, "But I am considered one of the best among them."

He found an empty seat and sat down. On his left and right were an artistic uncle wearing a hat and a middle-aged man dressed very businesslike.

Bai Shuyun is very confident and extroverted, so he took the initiative to chat with the two of them.

The result was not very dramatic. One of them had returned from studying abroad, but he was almost 40 years old and his resume looked to be at Bai Shuyun's level; the other was a team leader in a well-known research institute in China, but he did not have any impressive achievements.

Bai Shuyun was unable to crush the two of them, and they didn't make Bai Shuyun feel pressured. It just made him feel that the people attracted by Future Technology were still of some level.

The interview process was similar to that of an interview within the system. The conference room was actually a waiting room. When it was someone's turn, a staff member would come and lead them into the interview room upstairs.

There are three interview rooms. Candidates go in one by one for interviews. A special flow line is set up to stagger the time between those who have finished the interview and those waiting for the interview.

Seeing this, Bai Shuyun just raised his eyebrows.

It seems that the old method of giving the test questions directly and asking students to do them on the spot is still the way to go. The way of exam-oriented education is really deeply rooted in our bones.

Thinking so, he knocked on the door symbolically and strode into the interview room.

Sitting opposite him was Cao Haibin.

The content of the interview is -

"Fuck, brother, your resume is quite impressive. Go up and find our boss."

Gone.

Bai Shuyun was stunned. He didn't say anything. This is also called an interview?

Seeing that the young man was still sitting in his seat with a look of disbelief, Cao Haibin waved his hand and said, "Go quickly. The boss likes solid technical talents like you. Let him give you a try."

Bai Shuyun left the interview room in a daze and was led to Li Yan's office.

When he opened the door, he saw half of Li Yan's head behind the computer screen and the crackling sound of the keyboard.

What is this?
It's really too frivolous and too frivolous!
I, Bai Shuyun, even came all the way here for the interview... I must be crazy to have such high expectations!

No wonder they dare not release the core of Luoshen. I'm afraid they are using the same tricks they used in China to deceive themselves.

Bai Shuyun felt a little unhappy, and his posture when sitting opposite Li Yan was a little improper.

"Bai Shuyun, your resume is good. You can change jobs and get a higher salary without accumulating experience. You are a technical talent." Li Yan leaned over from the side of the computer screen and waved, "Come here."

Legend has it that this is a minor, but looking at his broad shoulders and muscles... it doesn't look like a minor at all, Bai Shuyun thought to himself.

However, Li Yan's face still has a bit of youthfulness that cannot be concealed. It's not a matter of temperament, but the condition of her skin and facial features alone, which clearly shows that she is a teenager.

His wild thoughts were soon interrupted by Li Yan's words:

"I'm going to write code for a certain function of the system now. See if you can follow me."

Just kidding, just following...

Before Bai Shuyun could finish this thought, he saw Li Yan suddenly turn into a super-high-speed typewriter.

The code was written at a lightning speed without any pause.

No, brother, it’s not written like that!

Bai Shuyun was forced to get into the state. After all, he was a technical expert. The previous construction was still very clear, and his tense mind soon relaxed.

Then, suddenly a small step of "Hey why..." appeared. Bai Shuyun just frowned, and the whole procedure began to become incomprehensible.

Bai Shuyun became nervous.

In less than a minute, Li Yan filled the entire screen.

"This is the code I just wrote for a certain function of the system. Take a look at it and see how to optimize it."

Bai Shuyun was suddenly stunned. He had just understood the program and immediately asked about optimization?
"You only have one minute." Li Yan looked at his watch.

A thin layer of sweat immediately broke out all over his body, and Bai Shuyun's breathing became rapid.

A long, quiet minute.

When Li Yan looked at him, Bai Shuyun finally gave his own optimization ideas.

After saying this, I actually felt relieved.

"Not bad," Li Yan nodded with a smile, and then made modifications directly according to Bai Shuyun's ideas, and pointed out the shortcomings. "If you had followed the ideas from the beginning, you should have been able to come up with this optimization idea at least."

He just demonstrated the new solution directly.

Bai Shuyun's eyes changed when he looked at Li Yan, and he was completely shocked.

"You at least gave me an idea within one minute, and the question I gave you is relatively difficult." Li Yan nodded, "Not bad, here is your task, if you are willing to join, you can start today."

When Bai Shuyun walked out of the office, his posture was dejected.

The three minutes of the interview easily shattered his confidence.

This was a result he had never expected.

He walked dazedly to another meeting room with the work division sheet in his hand. There were more than thirty people sitting inside, all holding sheets in their hands.

Half of them were jubilant, almost overflowing with excitement; the other half were just as depressed as he was.

It’s easy to understand. Some people didn’t expect that they could pass the test and get their dream job; some people... are the same as Bai Shuyun.

The listless group of people were still sitting together, each of them looking as if they were doubting their life.

Bai Shuyun suddenly realized something, and eagerly leaned over to ask them what topic Li Yan had given them.

A bald guy in his thirties laughed bitterly, "Brother, we have all asked the same question as you. Forget it, they are all different. This Li Yan is simply an interviewer from hell."

"I think he knows more than us." Another sighed.

Bai Shuyun panted for a long time, then glanced at everyone present, "So far, a total of more than 30 people have passed the interview?"

"More than that." The bald guy waved his hand, "Another group has already started working."

"Ah?" Bai Shuyun was shocked.

"The workstation is ready, the contract is signed in seconds, and there are specific tasks at hand, so of course I can start working right away."

Bai Shuyun looked at the assignment book in his hand and muttered to himself, "Where the hell am I..."
