Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1161 - 1160: Problems in the Planning

And now that Hong Xuan has finally left, the Deputy Minister of the HR Department sees an opportunity for promotion and immediately becomes overconfident. When the secretary arrives, the Deputy Minister is organizing his materials, preparing to move into the Minister’s office. Upon seeing the secretary next to the chairman, the Deputy Minister quickly stands up straight.

"Secretary Li, is there something you need?"

The Deputy Minister asks casually on the surface, but can’t help feeling joyful inside. It seems that Secretary Li has come to deliver good news, and perhaps he’s about to be promoted now.

Secretary Li glanced at the Deputy Minister trying to hold back a laugh and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This Deputy Minister is no better than the previous Hong Xuan; his perspective is just too limited.

"The Chairman wants you to go to his office immediately."

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Minister got excited. It seemed the Chairman wanted to personally promote him. In that case, he needed to hurry and not disappoint the Chairman.

"Alright, Secretary Li, thank you for personally delivering the message. I’ll head to the Chairman’s office right away."

After the Deputy Minister left, colleagues in the HR department were all gossiping. The Deputy Minister obviously lacked capability, yet now that he had gained a promotion, he thought he could achieve something.

"Many of our department’s decisions were made by Minister Hong. This Deputy Minister can’t make any decisions and has muddled through in his position for so many years. I don’t believe he could do better than Minister Hong."

"I bet he won’t last long, and when the Chairman called on him, it might not have even been about a promotion."

"You two should stop discussing this. He’s been promoted now and will be our boss. If you keep this up, you’re bound to suffer. As long as we do our tasks, it’ll be fine."

The person telling them to stop talking saw the two roll their eyes. In fact, others shared similar sentiments; after all, the Deputy Minister’s position was almost non-existent in their HR department.

"Even if you speak up for him, it doesn’t matter. He’s aware of his incompetence, and now that Minister Hong is gone, those plans will undoubtedly stop."

"But with our Minister gone, he’s not coming back. Our future is probably going to be like that of other departments."

Upon thinking about this, everyone in HR became particularly downcast.

Meanwhile, after seeing the Chairman, the Deputy Minister immediately smiled broadly, "Mr. Chairman, what do you need from me?"

Xiao Zhen, seeing the Deputy Minister and especially his smiling face, grew more dissatisfied. Unlike Hong Xuan, this Deputy Minister seemed like he was just pandering to him.

Therefore, Xiao Zhen didn’t hide his expression of disgust, and the Deputy Minister became more cautious after noticing.

"Hong Xuan handed the plans from your HR department over to you before leaving. Show me how these plans should develop further. Recently, the company needs to recruit a batch of people, and we must find suitable positions for them."

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Minister quickly nodded and bowed, "Mr. Chairman, rest assured. I will handle this perfectly. As for the plans, I will submit a revised version to you later."

After Hong Xuan arrived at the branch office, the people there who had only seen him a few days ago were surprised to see him again, especially since he was there to work at the branch office.

Those who saw him grew more anxious. With someone like Hong Xuan working at the branch office, they feared losing out on resources. Consequently, they became more dedicated to their work than before.

"President, what’s your opinion on recruiting talent? Do you really plan to leave everything to Vice President Chang?"

Hong Xuan asked. Actually, having worked in the HR department for so many years, Hong Xuan had a detailed understanding of it. Contrary to popular belief, the HR department played a crucial role in the company’s development, determining the employment of key talent.

Xu Ke looked at Hong Xuan and said slowly, "As far as I know, many former employees of other companies still want to join our branch, but they have a common problem: their mindset is too rigid, which is no longer suitable for our new product development."

Upon hearing this insight, Hong Xuan fully agreed, "Your point is absolutely correct. Had I not kept up with the times, I might have already fallen behind. Moreover, I believe this industry urgently needs young talent."

"Ah, you’ve read my mind. Therefore, when hiring, we should aim to recruit young people into this industry. They can surely excel in it. Moreover, I want to directly engage in campus recruitment."

After Xu Ke spoke, Hong Xuan paused briefly. The Xiao Group, being a high-tech company, almost never conducted campus recruitment. Even if it did, it was only at prestigious universities in China.

In recent years, the Xiao Group had essentially withdrawn from campus recruitment because the company mainly hired experienced employees. On campus recruitment days, the Xiao Group was hardly visible, causing students to overlook them.

"Although your idea is feasible, it requires a lot of effort. After all, new graduates, upon entering society, know very little and face the risk of quitting. Their enthusiasm often wanes midway, offering no benefit to us."

Xiao Keyi, listening from the side, also agreed with Hong Xuan, "Furthermore, graduates only possess knowledge. To draw them into this industry requires time, and while their thinking is indeed more progressive than some veteran employees, recent graduates often lack endurance. They tend to fantasize about work."

"If you make them endure a little hardship, they’d quit the job. Continually replacing staff every few days wouldn’t just hamper progress; even considering employee investment, your company might collapse within half a month."

Both had valid points, yet Xu Ke pulled out a contract from the drawer and handed it to them. This contract was newly drafted and fully compliant with legal requirements and regulations.

"How many people do you think I intend to hire? Actually, I’m only recruiting 10 to 20 individuals. These 10 to 20 individuals must be elite, possessing unique insights into our electronic products. They don’t need to be familiar with the market, but they must be skilled technicians."
