Yun Zhaozhao: "..." Goodness, this is because President Zhu was worried that Clear Breeze Temple wouldn't be able to recruit people, so he directly sent her his company's HR and PR teams. This is the legendary "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"!
These two, true to their backgrounds in large corporations, arrived at Clear Breeze Temple and, without even having a sip of water, immediately announced they wanted to hold a meeting with all the staff to understand the Clear Breeze Temple 'Clear Breeze Temple organizational structure and division of labor.
Jingting had already quickly spread the news internally before the people even arrived. No one else understood what the arrival of people from a large company meant, except for Xiaojiu, who had previously worked temporary jobs at a large company, who sadly remarked, "Will our Daoist temple be forced to work 996 from now on?"
Chapter 63
Xiaojiu was quite satisfied with his work at Clear Breeze Temple.
She used to work in sales, either two or three shifts, and basically never missed a night shift. She didn't find staying up late scrolling through her phone during the week unbearable, but working the night shift was truly unbearable.
Furthermore, because of the irregular work hours, it's difficult to get together with friends.
Later, when she moved to Clear Breeze Temple, she felt that her job was really wonderful. Although she had to work on weekends and holidays due to the nature of her work, she would have time off in lieu of work during the week, and she worked nine to five just like any other office worker.
Most importantly, Yun Zhaozhao, the boss, is very generous; he frequently treats people to meals and gives out bonuses.
The interpersonal relationships at Clear Breeze Temple are also completely uncomplicated, with almost no backstabbing or intrigue.
Anyway, if possible, Xiaojiu would be very willing to continue working at Clear Breeze Temple.
But now that a new person has arrived, Clear Breeze Temple is very likely to face structural adjustments. Xiaojiu couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought about the various social realities of "996", "three shifts", and "no bonus for working overtime all night".
Fortunately, what Xiaojiu feared did not happen.
During the meeting, the new HR girl didn't raise any questions or demands for change regarding the current state of Clear Breeze Temple. She simply wanted to understand the Clear Breeze Temple's current organizational structure in order to better conduct recruitment work in the future.
As it turns out, the HR lady truly lived up to her experience in a large company. Yun Zhaozhao only asked everyone to briefly introduce their respective job responsibilities, and the HR lady immediately discovered the biggest problem in Clear Breeze Temple's current personnel structure.
That is, the division of labor is unclear, and there is almost no standardization.
However, this is not a problem unique to Clear Breeze Temple; many small companies have similar issues.
After all, small companies have fewer employees, and in order to save on labor costs and expenses, the responsibilities of employees in many small companies are not particularly clear. It is quite normal for one person to wear multiple hats.
After understanding the personnel structure of Clear Breeze Temple, the HR lady had a private chat with Yun Zhaozhao about the benefits and compensation for new employees.
Then she discovered that although Clear Breeze Temple wasn't very standardized, it did a good job with employee benefits. This would be very beneficial for her future recruitment work, since who wouldn't want more money at a job?
Yun Zhaozhao's previous recruitment had almost no specific requirements. Back then, as long as someone was willing to come to Clear Breeze Temple, anything was fine; the main principle was to accept all comers. But this time, because a human resources lady helped her, and considering the 1 million task target given to her by the NPC Lawyer Wang, Yun Zhaozhao's recruitment requirements were much clearer.
We need to recruit a highly respected senior Daoist priest, and then recruit 50 new Daoist students.
With specific recruitment tasks and detailed salary and benefits, the HR lady couldn't even wait for the meeting to finish before quickly returning to her workstation to begin the recruitment work—which was really just a temporary office, and she even brought her own laptop.
With the HR work underway, it was Tang Li's turn to take charge of planning and publicity.
Tang Li's job was slightly simpler than the HR lady's, because although Clear Breeze Temple didn't have a dedicated corporate communications person before, their publicity efforts were actually Clear Breeze Temple good. For example, they had their own live streaming account with a considerable number of followers; and they had also previously collaborated with some online media and local print media...
The only problem at present is that this online popularity cannot be effectively converted into on-site popularity. Moreover, due to Clear Breeze Temple's many unconventional behaviors in the past, Clear Breeze Temple currently has a mixed reputation among orthodox Daoists.
Tang Li: "Regarding the conversion of online popularity into offline engagement, I think your recent summer study tours have a pretty good approach, and you can continue to do so. As for changing the public's perception of the Daoist temple, I think we can start with short videos. Short videos are very popular now, and our company is currently working on them. Daoism still has a certain mystique for many outsiders. I can utilize some of our media resources to have them shoot some short promotional videos about Daoist life and daily routines. As long as the wider Daoist community knows that Clear Breeze Temple, besides being as eccentric as the online perception suggests, is also diligently carrying out daily Daoist work of preaching and teaching, I believe that over time, other Daoist temples will change their opinion of Clear Breeze Temple."
Yun Zhaozhao was very grateful. "We had considered short videos before, but they were really unprofessional. If we could really get some professionals to shoot short videos to promote Clear Breeze Temple, that would be perfect."
Tang Li smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any major problems, but you'll need to give me some time."
Yun Zhaozhao: "Don't worry about that. I can't guarantee the Clear Breeze Temple from before, but the current Clear Breeze Temple still has some strength. It should be able to hold out until the day you make a short video to promote the Clear Breeze Temple."
Tang Li: "..." I can tell, Clear Breeze Temple has some strength, but not much!

Although Yun Zhaozhao was the abbess of the temple, she didn't really feel like she was in a leadership position. She felt that she was the same as Daoist Chang Kong and Jingting, and that their relationship was more of a partnership than an employer-employee relationship.
But ever since the HR lady and Tang Li came to Clear Breeze Temple, Yun Zhaozhao suddenly had a real feeling that she really was a leader.
Every time Yun Zhaozhao saw them, they would respectfully greet her with "Hello President Yun." Yun Zhaozhao was genuinely uncomfortable with being called President Yun, so the two of them later changed their address to "Hello, Abbot," but their attitude remained as respectful as ever.
Even Jingting couldn't help but sigh to Yun Zhaozhao, "As expected of employees trained by a big company, you are truly well-trained. How about this, to show that our Clear Breeze Temple is also a well-trained team, we will give you a warm welcome every time you appear, and we can even provide you with a special background music for your entrance, such as 'The Queen Arrives' or something like that."
Yun Zhaozhao: "... I appreciate the sentiment, but it's really not necessary."
Jingting: "Why?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Have some shame."
Jingting: "..."
Tang Li and the HR lady not only exuded the discipline of a large company, but also demonstrated exceptionally high work efficiency.
Previously, when Yun Zhaozhao was recruiting, they couldn't get a single person to interview for a long time. But ever since the HR lady arrived, people have started coming in for interviews one after another. Although it's not every day, there are always one or two every few days.
However, the pool of candidates for hiring Daoist priests is much narrower than that for hiring ordinary employees, so although there have been interviewees, no Daoist priests have been successfully hired yet.
Tang Li, perhaps fearing that Clear Breeze Temple might not survive until the day he filmed his short promotional video, quickly contacted a short drama production team to come to Clear Breeze Temple to learn from their experience and film a short video called " Subduing Demons ".
Yun Zhaozhao was lucky, because the director, cast, and other personnel for this short video production had already been decided, and the script was related to Daoism. However, the " Subduing Demons " production team had initially favored True Yang Temple, given True Yang Temple fame and magnificent palaces, which would undoubtedly make for better visuals. While the Great Tao Temple had many advantages, it also had numerous rules and requirements. Furthermore, True Yang Temple so famous that many big-budget films and productions went there to learn from its experience. Therefore, they didn't really consider a short video like " Subduing Demons."
Anyway, the filming application had been submitted for several months, but there was no response from True Yang Temple. Just then Tang Li used his connections to recommend Clear Breeze Temple. So, the director of "The Subduing Demons " impulsively decided to set the filming location at Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Before she could even process what was happening, the director of the " Subduing Demons " crew had already arrived with his staff for location scouting.
Yun Zhaozhao was initially worried that they would look down on the environment of Clear Breeze Temple, after all, Clear Breeze Temple was worlds apart from True Yang Pass. But she didn't know what the director of " The Subduing Demons " was thinking, as he was inexplicably quite satisfied with the environment of Clear Breeze Temple.
Director: "Although this Daoist temple isn't exactly grand, it's precisely because our protagonist emerged from such a small temple and took on the heavy responsibility of subduing demons that his greatness is highlighted! As the saying goes, heroes come from all walks of life, and I think it's great, great..."
Yun Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good too."
After the group finished their location scouting, they had a meal at the Clear Breeze Temple canteen. If the director's satisfaction with Clear Breeze Temple was only 10 out of 10 when they first saw Clear Breeze Temple, it instantly soared to 100 after the meal.
After all, during filming, meals were a major issue for the entire crew. Good food gave them energy to work. The canteen at Clear Breeze Temple was arguably the best they had eaten at during all the filming they had done, and even the vegetarian dishes were exceptionally delicious. Surprisingly, despite the large number of people from all over the country in their crew, not a single person complained about the food.
After the meal, the director immediately set the specific filming schedule for " The Subduing Demons," which was right after the summer vacation.
