Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The gate of the abandoned primary school has been replaced with a large sign for Kyoto Moriyo Trading Company.

One of the teachers' offices inside has been converted into a temporary office, where all the staff work.

Jiang Sen didn't ask them to save him a seat; he was just there to take a look and would go back if there was nothing else to do.

However, Wang Jianguo had already prepared the principal's office for him.

He led him upstairs, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Look, nothing's been touched."

In the principal's office, behind the desk is a wall full of bookshelves. Although they are empty, they create a very atmospheric ambiance.

It has a scholarly atmosphere.

A desk, a chair, a sofa and coffee table next to the door, a row of filing cabinets against the wall, and several potted plants on the windowsill.

"It's pretty good!" Jiang Sen said. "We won't need to clean it up much in the future, so it's fine as it is."

Wang Jianguo smiled and agreed, "I'll repaint the walls later."

He brought the warehouse and finance ledgers to Jiang Sen for him to see, and then went down to check on the recruitment situation.

At that time, there were no job markets or online recruitment platforms; the only way to recruit was to post a job advertisement on the front door.

Not long after the post was published, a large crowd gathered, discussing what this suddenly appearing company did.

The salary and benefits listed above are even better than some state-owned factories. Is that true?

I have no idea what the salespeople we hired are actually doing.

Those who are interested are eager to try it out.

However, the last rule also blocked many people out.

It clearly states above, "Priority given to educated youth returning to the city!"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that no one else was allowed, the number of educated youth returning to the city was simply too large.

They are only recruiting ten people; those who are not educated youth will probably have no chance at all.

An older man said, "The job posting didn't specify an age limit. Whether you're a former educated youth or not, as long as you're good at handling things and hardworking, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Just try it!"

Following the instructions in the job posting, the man entered the gate, registered at the entrance, and then headed towards the office building.

An empty classroom was tidied up briefly and used as the interview location.

The interviewers were mainly Wang Jianguo and a sales manager named Shuai Qiang.

This handsome guy was recruited by Wang Jianguo when he first joined the company. He has strong interpersonal skills and is also an alumnus of Wang Jianguo's school.

Their parents were also alumni, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were family friends.

Jiang Sen had no objection to this; Wang Jianguo, as the manager of the company, certainly needed subordinates he trusted very much.

The first person to come in was the slightly older man.

He became a little nervous when he saw three people sitting behind the classroom desk and a chair opposite them.

Although all three were younger than him, he still felt awkward and uneasy, as if he were meeting a leader.

"Please sit down!" Shuai Qiang smiled and pointed to the chair. "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to chat and answer a few questions."

"Okay, okay!" Shuai Qiang tried to calm himself down, nodded with a smile, and sat down in the chair.

"Hello, my name is Shuai Qiang, I'm the sales supervisor, and this is our Deputy Manager Wang! What's your name?"

Shuai Qiang did not introduce Jiang Sen, which was at Jiang Sen's request.

"Oh, hello everyone, my name is Yu Da Kui."

"Master Yu, what did you do before?"

"Oh, I used to work at this elementary school."

Jiang Sen was surprised and exchanged a glance with Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo asked, "This place is abandoned. Where did all of you teachers go?"

“Some went to the countryside, and some went back to their hometowns.” Yu Daikui said this with some sadness, and became more talkative. “I used to be a cook in the school cafeteria. When the school closed down, I went home. Later, I worked in a state-run restaurant, but because some of the staff were relatives of the leaders, I couldn’t stay for more than a few days. So I went to work in the rural suburbs. People needed cooks for weddings and funerals, and that’s how I’ve been doing it until now.”

It turned out to be the case.

Wang Jianguo thought for a moment and glanced at Shuai Qiang.

Shuai Qiang nodded, picked up a notebook and a pen and handed them over, "Master Yu, please leave your contact information and wait for our news when you get back."

Unexpectedly, the other party misunderstood and waved their hand, saying, "Forget it, since it's not going to work out, there's no point in keeping it. It'll only make me think about it every day. Sorry for bothering you!"

After saying that, he actually got up to leave.

"Master Yu!" Wang Jianguo called out to him and said with a smile, "I think you've encountered similar situations before, which is why you said that. We just want to discuss when the company cafeteria can be used. We asked you to leave your contact information so we can let you know once the cafeteria is ready!"

"Huh?" Master Yu was a little confused.

Shuai Qiang stood up with a smile and said, "We were originally planning to call you later, but seeing how you are now, our manager will just tell you directly that we will notify you to come to work in a few days after the cafeteria is repaired. Here, leave your contact information."

Yu Daikui was still a little confused. "You mean... you want me?"

Jiang Sen burst out laughing, "I'll take it! If you don't have anything going on at home, you can come to work tomorrow."

Yu Daikui was a little confused about Jiang Sen's identity. Since he came in, it was the two people next to him who were asking him questions, while this person just sat there watching.

"He's the general manager of our Senyang Trading Company, Mr. Jiang!" Shuai Qiang quickly introduced. "If he says he wants it, he means he wants it. Don't you believe me?"

"Ah!" Yu Daikui suddenly realized, looked at Jiang Sen excitedly, wanted to reach out and shake hands, but was a little hesitant, "Thank you, President Jiang, I will definitely do my job well and make sure that no employee can find any fault with me!"

"Okay, Shuaiqiang, get the paperwork done for him. Also, take him to see the cafeteria and see how it can be used so he won't have to eat out or bring his own lunch all the time."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Shuai Qiang was also very happy. He got up and led Yu Da Kui outside. "Master Yu, I'll take you there now."

After they left, Wang Jianguo asked, "With a canteen, the staff won't have to worry about money anymore."

Jiang Sen chuckled, "Actually, I'm doing this to save money. Eating out all the time is too expensive!"

Wang Jianguo rolled his eyes inwardly. "I don't believe you for a second!"

The two waited a while longer, but still no one came in.

There were still many people gathered at the entrance, seemingly waiting for the results of Yu Daikui's interview.

It wasn't until Shuai Qiang returned and Yu Dai Kui went out that a large number of people rushed in from outside.

Someone was outside maintaining order as people came in for interviews one by one.

Jiang Sen stopped paying attention and left it to Wang Jianguo and Shuai Qiang to decide who needed the help.

Soon, the interviews were coming to an end, with only one person left.

Jiang Sen planned to leave first, as he wouldn't be of any use here.

He was about to get up when he saw who came in and froze.

"Wei San?"

"Brother Jiang?"

The two stared at each other for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Jiang Sen stood up. "When did you return to the city?"

"I came back before the New Year!"

Seeing the dramatic change in Wei San's entire demeanor, Jiang Sen was deeply impressed.

The first time we met was on the train to the Great Northern Wilderness.

Back then, Wei San was sinister, cold-hearted, and a thief.

But after so many things, Wei San became more cheerful. Even when looking at people, he would no longer look up at them sideways, but would look them straight in the eye.

The first time he saw Wei San's smile, he thought it was quite handsome.

"You two know each other?" Wang Jianguo asked.

"Don't you remember?" Jiang Sen said, "The educated youth who took the train with us to the Great Northern Wilderness."

Wang Jianguo stood up with a smile, shook hands with Wei San, and said, "Wang Jianguo!"

"Wei San!"

"Alright, the last person we've recruited for today is full!" Jiang Sen said to Wang Jianguo. "We're just about to set up the company's security department, and Wei San is perfect for the job!"
