Chapter 526: Solving the Problem of Unmarried Youths in the Clan

Chapter 526: Solving the Problem of Unmarried Youths in the Clan

Evening.

The Ye Villa Complex.

Deng YunGui, Deng YunQiang, Deng ChangYong, and others were drinking at Deng ShiRong's house.

For people of their age, drinking together was different from the young people who often engaged in drinking competitions. They mostly drank to chat and pass the time.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to the marriage issues of the younger generation in the clan.

Deng YunGui said with a worried expression, "Uncle Jiu, the younger generation in the clan is getting married later and later. Take my granddaughter, for example. She's already 26 this year, and I'm worried about her, but she doesn't seem to care at all.

Every time I bring up this topic, she always says that so-and-so hasn't married yet either. This isn't a good sign!"

Deng ShiRong pondered for a moment and said, "This is actually quite normal. The economic conditions of the Ye Deng Clan are so good that even compared to the entire Guangxi region, we are among the best.

With better family conditions, people naturally have higher standards. So, it's not surprising that the younger generation is getting married later. The main reason is that we haven't been able to find suitable partners for them, which has led to this situation."

Deng ChangYong agreed, "Uncle Jiu, you hit the nail on the head. In this area, there are very few people who can match up with our young men and women."

Deng YunGui frowned, "This isn't a good trend. If we can't find suitable partners in this area, the younger generation will keep delaying their marriages. There are already clan members over 30 who haven't married. If we don't solve this problem, the number of people over 30 who remain unmarried will only increase."

Deng ShiRong couldn't help but think of his past life. In his past life, due to various reasons, there were many people in their thirties and forties who hadn't married in the Ye Deng Clan.

People over 30 who hadn't married were as common as sand.

This wasn't unique to the Ye Deng Clan but a nationwide issue.

This was why dating websites like "Century Matchmaking," "Zhen Ai Wang," and "Bai He Wang" were so popular, and why dating shows like "If You Are the One" became internet sensations. There were simply too many unmarried men and women.

Those who remained unmarried for a long time might not be anxious themselves, but their parents were desperately worried, with some even falling ill from the stress.

Deng ShiRong thought for a moment and said, "Since we can't find suitable partners in this area, we should reach out to people outside. Just staying at home and hoping a partner will come knocking is impossible. We need to take the initiative to find them."

Deng YunGui sighed, "I've told my granddaughter this, and she agrees verbally, but she doesn't take any action. It's truly a headache."

Deng ChangFu swallowed a mouthful of fragrant bee larvae and said, "In the past, we would marry in our teens or early twenties. If someone was still unmarried by their mid-twenties, they would be very anxious. But now, people are still unmarried well into their thirties. What are they thinking?"

Deng ChangYong said, "It's probably because their standards are high, and they can't find anyone they like, which leads to this situation."

Deng ShiRong asked, "YunGui, do you know how many young people in the clan are over 25 and still unmarried?"

Deng YunGui shook his head, "I only know that the number is significant. We need to conduct a census to get the exact number."

Deng ShiRong took a sip of tea to clear his throat and said, "When you have time, take charge of the census. I want to know the exact number. If the number is small, it's not a big deal. But if it's large, we need to find a solution."

Deng YunGui replied, "Alright, I'll start the census tomorrow. I estimate there won't be fewer than 50 people."

Deng ShiRong nodded, starting to take the issue more seriously.

After all, he wasn't just an ordinary clan member but the most respected clan leader after the founder, a person who deserved a dedicated page in the clan's genealogy. Matters concerning the prosperity of the entire clan were naturally important to him.

Of course, it was unrealistic for him to personally help each person find a partner.

The best approach was to motivate the young people to be more proactive in finding partners. With the economic conditions of the Ye Deng Clan, getting married would be relatively easy once they were motivated.

But how could they be motivated?

...

The next day.

Deng YunGui spent the morning conducting the census and finally had the numbers. The results were even more severe than he had estimated. There were already 66 people over 25 who were still unmarried.

After reporting to Uncle Jiu, Deng YunGui added, "Uncle Jiu, the numbers I reported are based on the traditional Chinese age system. If we use the actual age, the number would be smaller."

Deng ShiRong nodded, "The number is indeed significant. Even with the traditional age system, it's a serious issue. I thought about it last night and came up with a solution. If it works out, it might solve this problem."

Deng YunGui's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Uncle Jiu, what's the solution?"

Deng ShiRong said, "I plan to recruit high-salary employees for various positions under the group's name. In the job advertisements, we will list our requirements, such as educational qualifications, height, weight, appearance, and whether they are single for women.

The same will apply to men. This way, we can ensure that those who come for the interviews are unmarried and attractive.

The interview venue will be set in our village. After the interviews, we can conduct pre-job training. Only those who pass the training will be hired. Those who fail will return to where they came from.

Of course, during the training period, we will provide food, accommodation, and a basic salary to ensure they don't suffer any losses."

Deng YunGui, being one of the earliest businessmen in the village, was quick to understand Uncle Jiu's idea. He said excitedly, "Uncle Jiu, your idea is brilliant. With batches of attractive young men and women coming to our village for interviews and training, the unmarried youths in our village will have a better chance of finding partners."

Deng ShiRong smiled, "Exactly. When the time comes, if someone finds a suitable partner, they can negotiate directly or seek help from a matchmaker. The partners they find this way will definitely be better than those found in this area. I believe this will help most clan members find satisfactory partners."

Deng YunGui asked eagerly, "Uncle Jiu, when do we start?"

Deng ShiRong smiled, "No rush. I'll carefully consider the details and list the specific requirements. While the purpose of the recruitment is to help clan members find partners, we need to provide real job opportunities as well."

Deng YunGui smiled and said, "Our group is quite large, with tens of thousands of employees, and there is a significant talent gap. We can select the best candidates from each batch of trainees, providing opportunities for the clan's unmarried members and also supplying talent for the group's development. It's a win-win situation."

Deng ShiRong said, "I hope the clan's unmarried youth can seize this opportunity. If each batch of trainees can help form a few couples, it will be considered a success."

Deng YunGui, full of confidence, said, "There shouldn't be any problem. With the economic conditions of our Ye Deng Clan, as long as the clan members are willing to consider the trainees, the chances of success are very high."

Deng ShiRong said, "I hope so!"

...

If everything goes as planned, the recruitment will be discovered in November, and it is now September. There are only a little over two months left, which is a bit tight, but it should be enough time to organize a recruitment and pre-job training.

Thus, Deng ShiRong made the decision and gave instructions, and the group began to arrange the recruitment details.

This initiative was aimed at solving the marriage problems of the clan's older youth, so naturally, the news spread throughout the clan immediately.

Currently, there are already 66 unmarried clan members over 25 years old, and if we include all marriage-age singles, the number would be in the hundreds or even thousands. On average, there are no marriage-age singles in almost every family. Therefore, the clan leader's solution was met with widespread approval from the clan members.

At the same time, every family was urging their marriage-age children to keep their eyes open and take action if they find a suitable match. If they are too shy to act on their own, they can seek help from a matchmaker.

Hearing their parents' advice, the clan's marriage-age youth were both surprised and delighted.

Many of them were single not because they wanted to be, but because they hadn't found a suitable partner and were forced to remain single.

As normal individuals both physically and mentally, it was impossible for them Not To Want To Find A Partner Once They Reached Adulthood.

Most of the single clan members of the Ye Deng Clan did want to find a partner, but the problem was that most Suitable Matches Had Already Been Married Off Or Married Into The Clan.

Now, to help Everyone Find A Partner, The Clan Leader Had Come Up With This Plan To Recruit From Society, Carefully Selecting Candidates With Excellent Conditions For The Clan Members To Choose From. This Made The Singles Who Were Eager To Find A Partner Very Excited.

The initial screening would be handled by the group's HR department, and only those who passed the preliminary screening would be eligible To Interview At The Ye Film City.

Of course, to ensure the candidates had no worries, the group would definitely reimburse their travel and accommodation expenses. This was only fair, as the interviews were Not In The Same City Or Even The Same Province, and few people would be willing to travel so far for an interview without such assurances. If they didn't pass the interview, they would have lost a significant amount of travel and accommodation costs. But with the group's reimbursement, there would be no problem, and the candidates might only waste a bit of time, and they could even treat the interview as a trip, increasing their enthusiasm.

Deng ShiRong aimed to complete the first batch of interviews before the arrival of the event, so he set the interview date for October 1st, National Day. If the interviews were successful, the half-month pre-job training would follow, ensuring that the event would not affect the isolation measures the Ye Deng Clan planned to implement.

...

Soon, September came to an end.

In Hengyang, Hunan, Song TingTing boarded a long-distance bus to Nanning, Guangxi.

Song TingTing was a recent university graduate. Although her university was not a 985 or 211 institution, it was still considered a good school. If she had graduated ten or eight years earlier, she would have secured a stable job, and even had a chance to enter politics and become a leader.

Unfortunately, the university allocation system had been abolished, and with universities expanding enrollment, the value of a university degree had significantly decreased.

Still, as a genuine university graduate, finding a job was relatively easy for her. Many of her classmates had already secured jobs before graduation and officially started working once They Received Their Diplomas.

Song TingTing's performance in school was also very good, and finding a job was a simple matter for her. Like her classmates, she had already found a job before graduation. However, just as she was about to start work, her mother fell and broke her leg, forcing her to give up her job opportunity to return home and take care of her mother.

By now, her mother's leg had improved significantly, though it was far From Fully Healing, She No Longer Needed The Intensive Care She Required Before.

If her family's financial situation were better, Song TingTing would have stayed to continue caring for her mother until her leg was fully healed.

However, her family had been struggling to support her and her younger brother's education for years. The cost of her mother's Treatment Had Further Strained Their Finances, And They Had Even Borrowed Money From Relatives.

Now, with the need for her brother's school fees and her mother unable to work, the family's financial situation was dire. Her father's earnings from manual labor were no longer sufficient to solve the problem.

Therefore, the only thing Song TingTing could do was to quickly find a job to ease the family's burden.

Not long ago, the Deng Group began A Large-Scale Recruitment Drive. The requirements for this recruitment were extremely high, with strict standards in age, height, appearance, character, and marital status, in addition to the basic educational Qualifications.

To put it bluntly, it didn't seem like a job recruitment but more like a beauty pageant.

However, the salary and benefits offered were so high that no one could refuse them.

When Song TingTing saw the Deng Group's recruitment advertisement, she found that she met all the criteria and, with a try-it-out attitude, submitted her resume.

As expected, Song TingTing successfully passed the initial and secondary screenings and was eligible to attend the final interview.

What she didn't expect was that the interview would not be held in Hengyang, Hunan, but in Bobai County, Guangxi, at the Ye Film City.

Although it seemed like a lot of trouble to travel so far for an interview, the group had promised to reimburse all travel and accommodation expenses. Song TingTing had no complaints and packed her luggage sitting on the bus to Nanning, Guangxi, and preparing to transfer to Ye Film City from N.
