Chapter 76: Recruiting Staff: The Careless Guan Qianshan!
Chapter 76: Recruiting Staff: The Careless Guan Qianshan!
Crescent Island, located in a rather unique position, sits amidst Lingxi River, a relatively wide river that flows through the entire Jianghai Province before emptying into the sea.
However, before this river reaches the East Sea, it doesn't flow directly into it. Instead, at the edge of the East Sea, where Jianghai Province meets the coast, the river forms a semi-circular large lake. From this massive lake, akin to an inland sea within Jianghai Province, it extends into the East Sea.
This grand lake is none other than West Dragon Lake.
West Dragon Lake is vast, bordering the East Sea, and it is one of the reasons why Linzhou and Jianghai Province's aquatic beast companions thrive.
At the same time, this enormous lake is dotted with countless small islands, and with the abundance of aquatic beast companion resources, there are numerous places ripe for development.
Crescent Island is undoubtedly one of them.
This crescent-shaped island floats on the vast lake, and in its center, a figure stands.
Gazing at the distant workers still under construction, he sighs.
It's none other than Guan Qianshan, who has been here for half a month.
Compared to Cloud Heaven, this place is like heaven and earth apart.
On Crescent Island, everything is inconvenient, and even though he's separated from his family by just West Dragon Lake and a bit of Lingxi River, it feels like a world of difference.
Guan Qianshan notices some people looking at him strangely, and he once overheard these little bosses whispering about him:
"They say he messed up at headquarters and was directly sent to this godforsaken place."
"Really? No wonder he looks like a bitter gourd."
"Yeah, I heard it was a direct order from the top brass of the group!"
"The highest command? That must be the Chairman!"
"Wow, it seems like this Mr. Guan is going to work here until retirement."
"Hehe, not necessarily. Maybe he'll find a better place..."
"Where's it that easy? He might have been sent here, but he's still getting paid. Doesn't he want to get a better beast companion for his kid and make a better life?"
"Sigh... It's not easy for anyone."
Guan Qianshan sighs, thinking that it's nonsense to say he doesn't regret it, but regarding Su Ping and the Su family, he has indeed done his best.
As for coming up with some other devious methods, like forcing them to sell their land deed to survive, he knows he couldn't do that.
When Su Anyong left, he didn't forget to ask Guan Qianshan to take care of that kid who was left alone at home.
Thinking of this, Guan Qianshan becomes concerned about Su Ping.
He doesn't know why the Chairman and Heavencloud Corporation are so eager to buy the Su family's land deed, but there must be a reason.
He also wonders if his group has succeeded in their plan.
Just then, the phone rings, causing Guan Qianshan to pause.
He looks down at the call, and it's from Su Ping!
"Hello, Su Ping?" Guan Qianshan asks in surprise, fearing something might have happened.
However, the boy's voice on the other end of the line surprises Guan Qianshan, leaving him standing there in disbelief:
"Uncle Guan, I know you're not feeling great at Heavencloud Corporation. Do you want to come to Heart of Wood and work with me?"
The boy's youthful and energetic voice sounds so confident and vibrant over the phone.
As soon as he arrived, he forgot to ask about the salary and benefits, and subconsciously answered:
"Yes!"
...
He returned to the Heart of Wood.
Manager Guan was a bit dazed.
Half a month ago, he was the manager of the neighboring resort, representing the Heavencloud Corporation. But now, he had been transferred and was appointed as the so-called 'manager' of the Heart of Wood.
Although the Heavencloud Corporation had reassigned him, his salary and benefits remained unchanged.
Now, with just a word from Su Ping, he had resigned and come here. Even Guan himself felt a little crazy.
"Guan Shu, how much did you earn monthly at the Heavencloud Corporation?"
"Not including bonuses, probably over 30,000."
"Then your monthly salary here at the Heart of Wood will be 60,000, plus some additional benefits. I'll explain the details later."
Su Ping waved his hand generously.
Manager Guan heaved a slight sigh of relief. Although he trusted Su Ping, people still needed to eat, and at his age, he not only had to feed himself but also support his family.
However, as he breathed a sigh of relief, Manager Guan also asked curiously:
"Su Ping, what do I need to do?"
This beast breeding base was different from the training grounds at the neighboring resort.
The resort had many people, with accommodations and dining included.
Not to mention the various complex beast battles and other affairs.
Here, he couldn't find anything for himself to do.
Su Ping looked at Guan Qianshan solemnly and said:
"Guan Shu, the Heart of Wood will become the largest beast breeding base and eco-square in Linzhou. My father and I don't know many people, and you're the only one I can trust! So I want you to be the manager!"
Guan Qianshan nodded, knowing that true friendship is revealed in times of hardship.
After all, Su Ping had rescued him from that godforsaken place and was willing to offer such a high salary, which was truly kind and considerate.
The trust he received now deeply moved Old Guan.
But Su Ping hadn't answered his question yet.
What did the manager of the Heart of Wood need to do?
Facing Old Guan's astonished gaze, Su Ping continued:
"As the manager, you'll naturally oversee the entire operation. You'll need to manage our business and operations, and understand all the positions."
As Su Ping spoke, Old Guan had an inexplicable feeling that something wasn't quite right.
"Of course, for now, we don't have that many operations at the Heart of Wood. There will be more customers seeking cultivation, so you'll need to greet them!"
Receptionist? Old Guan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No problem!"
Old Guan patted his chest in assurance.
"Also, I want to expand the area around the Heart of Wood, in addition to my original plot of land. Can you think of a way, Guan Shu?"
"Huh? Some shops have owners, and some land hasn't been developed yet. I might need to consult with the authorities. But I'm good at this, so there shouldn't be any issues. I'll talk to them one by one."
"There's also the architectural planning. Guan Shu, I plan to..."
"..."
Two hours later, after listening to Su Ping's entire architectural blueprint, Old Guan, who was now simultaneously a security patrol, gatekeeper, receptionist, public relations officer, supervisor, accountant, procurement officer, landscape designer, chef, and more, had only one thought:
Damn, I should've been more careful.
