Chapter 2 Courier Company
Section 1
Li Wei decided to find a job first, otherwise his small savings would not be enough for living expenses. He took a taxi to the labor market and looked at the constantly jumping numbers on the meter, thinking it would cost tens of dollars to get there. The driver was very talkative and kept chatting with Li Wei, occasionally humming along with the music. After 20 minutes, they arrived at the labor market.
Li Wei paid the fare and got out of the taxi, sighing that he couldn't take taxis anymore because it was too expensive. It was just the time when migrant workers were returning to the city, so the labor market was very lively and bustling. Various companies and factories were recruiting people, but Li Wei saw that most of them required experience or technical skills, or a university degree. It seemed he could only go to a construction site.
As he walked along, he saw a recruitment desk for courier jobs in front of him. The job involved running errands, and Li Wei thought he should be able to handle it, so he went over to inquire about it.
Li Wei asked: "Excuse me, what are the requirements for recruiting couriers here? Am I eligible?"
Salesman: "Do you have a driver's license?"
Li Wei replied: "No, but I can learn."
Salesman: "Can you ride a motorcycle? Are you familiar with the terrain of Tian Gang City?"
Li Wei had ridden a motorcycle two or three times, but that was in the countryside, where there weren't as many cars as in the city. Here, he also had to follow traffic rules. Thinking about it left him speechless. Just then, the manager of the courier company walked over and looked Li Wei up and down, because he noticed some small details on his attire that seemed like those of a special consultant from the headquarters - his tie clip and watch proved his identity. In the headquarters, there were quite a few special individuals who sat at the same level as high-level executives and communicated directly with the CEO, their status and abilities in the company could be described as " summoning wind and rain". The manager thought to himself: today, such an important person has come to my place, I absolutely cannot let go of this opportunity to connect with him. He walked towards Li Wei with a smile all over his face and said:
"Hello, I am the manager of YTO Express Tian Gang Branch, how can I assist you?"
The salesgirl, a girl in her twenties, looked at the manager in surprise, thinking that something was wrong with him today, as if he had seen his own grandfather. Li Wei also felt very uncomfortable, no one had ever spoken to him like this before, it made him speechless.
"Uh, I just ask you guys, are you hiring courier personnel?"
The express manager had a flash of inspiration. Does this count as the high-level personnel from the headquarters coming to our place for a private visit in disguise? Let's bring him back and see what the general manager has to say about it.
"I am Qin Tianhua, the HR manager of YTO Express Tian Gang Branch. May I have your surname?"
"Hello Manager Qin, no need to be so polite, I'm Li Wei, nice to meet you."
"It's only right, Mr. Li is such a talented person, how can he be an ordinary courier? I'll take you to meet our general manager now and see what position suits you."
The people around were stunned, looking at Qin Tianhua in surprise, wondering if this manager had gone crazy. Including Li Wei. Qin Tianhua didn't say a word and escorted Li Wei to the car, walking behind him all the way, carefully opening the door and inviting Li Wei to get in. Li Wei was truly surprised and delighted. After getting in the car, he felt uneasy, wondering if it was because of his clothes or if he really wasn't an ordinary person, or if this manager had forgotten to take his medicine before going out?
Section 2
After a warm chat, Qin Tianhua drove to Yutong Express Company and entered the office area. As soon as he stepped into the lobby, he saw an introduction to Yutong Logistics Group:
Yutong Logistics Group Co., Ltd. is a listed subsidiary of Yutong Group, with logistics and express companies covering the whole country, specializing in goods transportation, distribution, warehousing, express delivery and other businesses, with a first-class logistics network and a fast delivery concept of delivering within two days.
Before Li Wei finished reading the introduction, Qin Tianhua had already opened the elevator and made a please gesture. Li Wei hurriedly entered the elevator, which had a total of 6 floors, plus two underground floors. Qin Tianhua pressed the button for the 5th floor. After the elevator door opened, Qin Tianhua arranged for Li Wei to go to the living room and instructed his secretary to serve him, then hastily entered the general manager's office.
Li Wei found it very luxurious here, just like the big companies on TV, with all-leather sofas that were very comfortable to sit on. The female secretary smiled brightly at him, wearing a white collar suit, looking elegant and refined, and asked when she saw Li Wei looking at her:
"Would you like something to drink, sir?"
Li Wei shook his head and continued to sit, no longer looking around. At this time, Qin Tianhua was reporting his discovery to the general manager. General Manager Bi Qiuzhe listened to Qin Tianhua's description and immediately decided to go see this special person. As the municipal branch general manager of Yutong Logistics Group, he had the responsibility to complete the tasks assigned by the special advisor, even if they were not related to logistics. He must unconditionally complete the task and mobilize resources and personnel to assist the special advisor to the greatest extent. This was his main function. Of course, Qin Tianhua did not know this because of their different levels. In Yutong Logistics Group, Bi Qiuzhe was a second-level manager, while the special advisor belonged to the sixth level, so he couldn't be slow and quickly got up and walked towards the reception room.
As soon as they entered the reception room, Qin Tianhua hastily introduced Bi Qiuzi to Li Wei.
"Mr. Li, this is Bi Qiuze, the general manager of our Yutong Tian Gang branch company. General Manager Bi, this is Mr. Li Wei."
"Mr. Li, nice to meet you!"
Bai Qiuzi said as he shook hands with Li Wei, very enthusiastically. Then he instructed:
"Secretary Wang, bring two cups of latte, Manager Qin you continue with the recruitment!"
Qin Tianhua reluctantly backed out, his heart unwilling. He had discovered and brought back a big shot, how could Old Bi let him leave so quickly?
Wang's secretary handed over the coffee and immediately left as well.
Bai Qiuzhe took a sip of coffee and asked:
"What instructions does Mr. Li have for the Tian Gang branch this time? Is it convenient to reveal?"
Li Wei thought to himself, are all the people in this company so polite? Or is it that the management philosophy is employee-centric? Li Wei hesitated for a moment before responding:
"I just want to find a job in Tianjin, are there any positions at YTO Express suitable for me?"
"What position do you need? Tell me and I will instruct the HR department to handle it immediately."
"This..."
Li Wei was at a loss for words, what kind of job search is this? Even a monk with a high level of Buddhist enlightenment would be confused!
"I can't drive, don't have a university degree, and I only know how to play with computers. What kind of job can I do here?"
Bai Qiuzhe said without thinking:
"What does Mr. Li think of the vice president?"
Li Wei was completely stunned and didn't know what to say. He couldn't utter a word for half a day. Bi Qi Ze asked again:
"Is Mr. Li going to be the general manager? That's okay too."
Li Wei hastily shook his head and waved his hand in response:
"No, no!"
Bai Qiuze continued:
"Alright, it's settled then. Mr. Li, I'll have Secretary Wang arrange an office, apartment, secretary, and driver for you. If there are any other requirements, please let me know and I'll make separate arrangements. Do you need to go to the top floor special executive lounge, Mr. Li?"
Li Wei was still in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do. He shook his head.
"Alright, Director Li, I'll instruct my secretary to handle it. Please wait for a moment here." Bi Qiuzhe said as he nodded and turned around to leave the reception room.
Section 3
Li Wei sat in his office, dazed, thinking to himself: "Have I come to some kind of fake company? Will I be replaced by someone else and end up in prison in a few days? Is being a deputy general manager that easy? I'm afraid I wouldn't even make a good courier. Isn't this like forcing a duck to climb Mount Everest?"
In the general manager's office, Bi Qiuzhe was also deep in thought. Li Wei was only over 20 years old, how could he have reached level six? It was truly awe-inspiring for a young man, definitely not someone to be underestimated. This time, he must make a good impression and go all out to assist the special advisor, striving for promotion.
Everyone in Tian Gang Subsidiary is talking about the new deputy general manager, some say he is the son of a senior executive from the headquarters who came to gain experience, others say he is a relative of the general manager. Middle-level cadres all know that he is a high-ranking official sent from above. Qin Tianhua has been in high spirits these days because he was able to recognize talent and can converse with both general managers, showing signs of promotion. The company operates smoothly, with express logistics business being particularly busy. Although Li Wei doesn't have much substantial work as deputy general manager, he is always busy socializing from morning till night. Soon, the Tian Gang City business community will know that a young and promising new deputy general manager has arrived at Yutong Logistics Tian Gang Subsidiary.
A busy month passed quickly, and Li Wei gradually adapted to the life of being a deputy general manager. When signing on the company's financial statement, he surprisingly found that his salary was a five-digit number. All of this seemed like a dream.
Section 4
Guǐ Pǔ is a special consultant of the Yù Tōng Logistics Group and a sixth-level agent. He doesn't have fixed fingerprints or iris, only DNA can confirm his identity, but no one has Guǐ Pǔ's DNA. Lǐ Wěi was mistaken for the special consultant because he had everything that could prove Guǐ Pǔ's identity. The most confidential design intelligence is stored in Guǐ Pǔ's mobile phone, which was forgotten by Lǐ Wěi in a corner. The Luó Chà National Intelligence Agency, the Huá Xià Military Department, and the Yù Tōng Special Consultant Team are all desperately searching for this military secret, but it has been abandoned by Lǐ Wěi like a worn-out shoe.
