Shrek Recruitment Plan! Tricks of the Working Stiff!

I really didn't expect it.

Bai Yuan's gaze lingered on Yuanen Yehui for a moment, his mind still preoccupied with his conversation with Leng Yaozhu.

He had barely mentioned the Yuanen Family when she arrived.

"I really didn't expect that she would show up when we were just talking about her."

"I'm here to work."

He smiled.

"No wonder he's the king of wage earners."

Gu Yuena had somehow gotten close to his ear, her voice very low:

"This person is a woman."

Bai Yuan glanced at her, his expression showing just the right amount of surprise.

"Really?"

How did you know?

Gu Yuena slightly raised her chin, as if the question had touched upon something she was proud of:

"A woman's sixth sense."

Bai Yuan smiled at her serious expression and gently flicked her forehead.

"How old are you to be a woman?"

Gu Yuena covered her forehead:

"Aaaaah, I'm going to bite you to death!"

Bai Yuan withdrew his hand and turned slightly to the side.

"Stop fooling around, there are people here."

He composed himself and walked towards the reception desk.

"Yuanen Yehui, is that right?"

My name is Bai Yuan.

Welcome to the Spirit Pagoda.

Yuanen Yehui looked at him, her clear eyes holding a hint of scrutiny.

"Yes, I'm here to look for a job."

Are you still hiring here?

Bai Yuan nodded. "How much do you know about the Spirit Pagoda?"

Yuanen Yehui paused for a moment:

"I did some research before I came. The Spirit Pagoda is one of the largest Soul Master organizations on the continent, and its benefits are top-notch among its peers. Its promotion system is relatively transparent, and its promotion channels are quite stable."

Bai Yuan listened and nodded.

I didn't offer any comment, I just continued along with what she said:

"Hmm, not bad. Let me tell you about the benefits and compensation for this job."

Overtime pay is triple, lunch and dinner are provided, the salary goes without saying, and weekends off are available.

He paused, a serious smile playing on his lips.

"This is absolutely the best place you'll ever find in your working life."

Yuanen Yehui's eyes lit up for a moment.

The phrase "triple pay for overtime" struck a chord with her, touching a soft spot in her heart.

This is going to be a serious blow to the "King of Migrant Workers"!

These were the little tricks used by overworked office workers back in the day!

She opened her mouth, as if to say something.

There was a hint of barely perceptible expectation in his voice:

"So... how will the work hours be arranged?"

Bai Yuan did not rush to answer.

He simply stood by the reception desk, as if he had already seen through her thoughts, but he was in no hurry to point them out.

Then, the relevant work content was introduced.

After listening to his introduction, a serious look appeared in Yuanen Yehui's clear eyes, as if she was weighing whether this job was worth her time and effort.

"So, what are your advantages that make you more suitable for this job than others?"

She straightened up a bit, and her voice became more formal than before:

"My advantage is that I have a lot of experience from various jobs."

I'm currently in the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy, and I have half a day each day that I can arrange freely without affecting my work.

Besides, I have some ability, so I don't need to worry about holding you back.

I've already encountered a lot of knowledge related to Soul Master, so there's no need to teach me from scratch.

She paused, as if considering the weight of her next words:

"Besides, I need this job."

Bai Yuan looked at her; he neither immediately agreed nor refused.

He pulled a notepad from the table and pushed it in front of her:

"Okay, that's settled then. Leave your contact information, and we'll get in touch with you later."

Yuanen Yehui took the pen and wrote a few lines on the sticky note.

She put down her pen and pushed the note back to Bai Yuan: "Thank you."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the hall.

His steps were light and quick, as if he had just accomplished something expected.

Gu Yuena had somehow come closer again, her gaze shifting from the slender figure's back.

"Didn't you want her to come? Why not just admit her?"

You just said she was a promising talent, so why did you let her go here?

Bai Yuan looked down at the contact information on the note, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

People generally don't cherish things that are given to them directly.

"Let her wait a bit. She'll care more about the job and the person who gave it to her."

Gu Yuena watched his actions, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly:

"It's so troublesome to go through all these twists and turns."

Bai Yuan smiled:

"A roundabout approach can sometimes be quite useful."

"You should learn from this, junior sister!"

"There's a real art to managing subordinates!"

Gu Yuena stood there, her expression nonchalant, and simply uttered a faint "Oh".

But her slightly perked-up ear, and her fingers that subtly clenched and unclenched.

She had already been betrayed.

She silently made a mental note of it:

So this is how you treat your subordinates...

Hmph, I, the Silver Dragon King, know this.

Seeing her expression, Bai Yuan didn't expose her and turned to walk upstairs.

"I'll go upstairs and report the situation to the teacher. You wait for me down here."

"What's there to report? Didn't you already arrange everything?"

Her voice carried a hint of lazy confusion, as if she didn't quite understand why she had to make a special trip.

"Just give me a brief report on the situation."

Bai Yuan had already reached the corner of the stairs, and his voice drifted down from above.

"Then I'll be back in the next few days, to win over Yuanen Yehui and bring her back to the teacher."

"Shouldn't you tell the teacher?"

His figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and sat down on a chair by the reception desk.

"Go ahead and report, I'll be waiting for you here anyway."

Leng Yaozhu was reviewing files at her desk when she heard a knock on the door and looked up.

"Come in."

Bai Yuan pushed open the door and entered without beating around the bush:

"Teacher, the target has appeared."

Leng Yaozhu put down her pen and looked at his face:

"Yuanen Yehui?"

"Um."

Bai Yuan walked to the desk.

"She just came to the lobby for a job interview."

I've already contacted her and got her contact information.

I'll come back more often these next few days, and take advantage of her running back and forth between Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda to win her over.

He paused,

"However, to get her hired smoothly and to make her feel a sense of belonging here, some favors from those in power are needed."

Leng Yaozhu looked at him:

What kind of license do you want?

Bai Yuan did not avoid her gaze:

"Since she's coming to work at the Spirit Pagoda, I need some flexible allocation authority, such as temporary job reassignment, direct communication, or arrangements that don't require multiple levels of approval."

Leng Yaozhu glanced at him, her gaze conveying a sense of "you certainly know how to make demands."

After a moment, she picked up her pen again and lowered her head:

"Approved."

Bai Yuan smiled:

Thank you, teacher.

"Bai Yuan, wait a minute!"

Bai Yuan stopped and turned to look at the desk.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze was fixed on Yuanen Yehui's file, as if she were weighing something.

"Yuanen Yehui is a person with twin top-tier Martial Soul."

This kind of talent is a rare resource anywhere.

She looked up and made a decision.

"We must offer her sufficient compensation and show her enough sincerity. We must make her feel that the Spirit Pagoda is the place she should belong."

Bai Yuan nodded:

"Understood, teacher."

I will do this well.

Leng Yaozhu looked at him, her voice carrying a hint of softness:

Go ahead.

Bai Yuan didn't linger any longer, pushed open the door, and walked out.
