Chapter 298: Just Handing a Pillow to Someone

In May, Yao Ran's studio expanded again, as the two villa office areas were too limited.

The main reason is that in the past two years, more and more works have been selected for adaptation, and the audience has become wider and wider. The social response has also become more and more profound.

It just so happened that in May the Ministry of Culture launched a column focusing on people’s livelihood, and Yao Ran Studio was selected to assist in organizing it, and needed to select some people to participate.

Xu Yun took several experienced staff members and followed the main force to support the townships, as the studio was short of staff.

Hu Ye went to discuss with Shen Chaoxi that even if their studio was fully staffed, the workload was already overloaded, not to mention that two of their novels had recently been spotted by a film and television crew and were negotiating for IP adaptation.

Such an opportunity is rare, so Mr. Hu focuses his work here and is too busy to handle other things.

The key is that staff shortage is only one aspect. If the studio brand wants to enter the public eye, it is urgent to select a location and find a more suitable work location.

This kind of studio requires a location that is at least not too remote. It is best if it is located in a place where publishing companies are concentrated. It is also best if it can rent an entire floor of an office building. Only then can it be considered to have reached a certain scale.

Shen Chaoxi has been very worried these days.

The job application information has been posted on major websites, and there are quite a few people who have signed up, but their levels are too uneven.

She wanted to recruit some people with literary skills, experience was secondary, but at least they loved the writing industry.

Many of the applicants have worked as editors, and some have even held the positions of editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief. They can speak eloquently about future plans, and when given a case and asked to analyze it, they can write a long article. The key is that they do not grasp the main point.

Mr. Hu also has a headache. Training these people is no small project.

That day, Shen Chaoxi came to the studio. Hu Ye was recruiting editors, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in the corridor waiting.

Shen Chaoxi did not disturb them, but went straight into his office.

There has been a lot of work going on lately, and there are more than a dozen documents that need to be signed.

The original idea of ​​establishing the studio was simple, which was to produce articles on realistic themes, but it gradually went off track.

Of course, these are not bad things.

Most of the documents required funding. Shen Chaoxi took a look at the amounts and signed them as they were not excessive.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

The front desk receptionist came in with a middle-aged man in his forties with messy hair. Shen Chaoxi was confused, and after recognizing who this man was, he almost jumped up.

It's like handing someone a pillow when you're sleepy.

The man was originally a reporter for a news media, but was fired because of a small mistake. In recent years, he has been traveling all over the country and has written many popular articles on display topics.

When Shen Chaoxi was in college, a mentor knew him and pulled him off a train heading north and forced him to give a speech.

It was from that time that Shen Chaoxi developed a keen interest in the world he wrote about.

"Teacher Zhang!"

This person's name is Zhang Yan. His original name is unclear. This is the name he took later.

"Please take a seat. It's been many years since we last met. I just found one of your articles on the website. It's really well written!" Shen Chaoxi praised sincerely.

After tea was served, the two sat down and chatted, and Zhang Yan talked about his experiences over the years.

It turned out that he got married three years ago. He met a waitress in a hotel. They fell in love at first sight, got married and got a marriage certificate soon, and soon had their own child.

However, things did not go as planned. Half a year ago, his child was diagnosed with heart disease, which cost a lot of money. In the past six months, he and his wife have spent all their savings. Zhang Yan had no choice but to bow to reality and go out to find a job. Halfway through the conversation, Tiger Lord came in and rubbed his hands.

"How about it? Can I find this person for you?"

The person came through Tiger Lord's relationship, and Shen Chaoxi was directly invited to the interview.

Shen Chaoxi suppressed his excitement, but his words expressed joy.

"Of course, I have thought about it. Let Teacher Zhang be a training instructor first. This way, our recruitment threshold does not need to be so high. When they come, they will be trained first, and they will be employed only if they meet the requirements."

Tiger Lord patted his thigh and said, "That's exactly what I thought. Old Zhang, can you rest assured now?
It turned out that before coming here, when Tiger Lord introduced him, Zhang Yan was worried that the boss was too young and would not use him, but he did not expect things to go so smoothly.

Then, they talked about remuneration. Shen Chaoxi said that according to the procedure, the internship period would be one month, with an annual salary system, and the salary would be based on the deputy editor's salary, and there would be dividends at the end of the year.

This salary is considered upper-middle level at Shangjing Publishing House, but Shen Chaoxi also solved his housing problem.

Zhang Yan nodded, then remained silent for a moment before stating his dilemma.

"Actually, I had another purpose before I came here. Mr. Tiger said that you are the wife of Lianzhong Commercial General Manager, and I want to ask you for help."

"Because of the child?" Shen Chaoxi pointed out.

Zhang Yan was slightly startled, then nodded: "I asked someone, my daughter's disease can be cured, the most authoritative treatment method is currently in the Beijing University affiliated hospital, the surgical expert is Dean Shang Jiangchuan, but not everyone can get an appointment with him, so..."

It is a common problem among intellectuals that they always have a sense of pride that they cannot afford to lose. Even when they are desperate, it is difficult for them to ask for help from others.

So Lord Tiger spoke for him.

"Yao Ran, Zhang Yan and I have been friends for many years. I have seen how high-spirited he is and how he never bows down for money. So I feel particularly sorry for his current situation. If it weren't for the child, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hire him. I will lend him the money for the child's medical treatment, but I don't have the ability to be a doctor!"

Speaking of finding a doctor, Shen Chaoxi suddenly remembered that not long ago, a distant relative from his grandmother's side came to him and said that his child needed an operation and wanted to find the best doctor.

When my grandmother saw that the other person was crying and almost kneeling down in front of her, she felt soft-hearted and called herself.

Shen Chaoxi hesitated for a moment and called Shang Jiangchuan. After some arrangements, he was admitted to the inpatient department where beds were hard to come by. However, an examination revealed that he needed a chronic appendectomy surgery.

Shang Jiangchuan was quite helpless. He entered the operating room and was asked by a group of doctors what was going on.

Shang Jiangchuan shook his head and said that it was arranged by a relative and he didn't want to refuse him.

This matter reached Shen Chaoxi's ears and then reached his grandmother, who was very angry. "No wonder he wouldn't tell me what illness he had when I asked him. I thought it was an incurable disease. It's really troublesome!"

Shen Chaoxi was thinking about this and had already stood up and went to the desk to get her personal phone.

Today is Thursday and Shang Jiangchuan has an outpatient clinic.

When Shen Chaoxi called, a group of people were waiting at the door of Shang Jiangchuan's ward. He was performing abdominal compression on a patient.

The assistant answered the phone and asked who it was.

"Business College, the surname is Shen, your sister-in-law."

Shen Chaoxi called a private number, otherwise Shang Jiangchuan would not let his assistant answer the call.

After wiping his hands, Shang Jiangchuan instructed the assistant doctor to write medical orders while answering the phone.

"Brother, I know you are busy, so I will make it short..."

The two of them made an appointment to meet in the office at four o'clock in the afternoon and asked him to bring his child and all the examination reports.
