When he came, Song Guocheng had originally come with an attitude to see whether the situation was real or not, as well as serving as a bodyguard for his daughter. However, once they arrived, Yang Hao’s power was enough to prove that the situation couldn’t possibly be fake, and with the twins Bai Yun and Bai Xue by Yang Hao’s side, his daughter’s safety was also assured.
Therefore, what he now really wanted was to help secure a good position for his daughter.
This was Maetian Entertainment!
If his daughter could secure a mid-level management position, she could be proud and breathe a sigh of relief in front of her ex-husband!
Thinking of this, Song Guocheng was somewhat excited. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
The person he loathed the most right now was naturally that ex-son-in-law who had cheated multiple times!
If his daughter could do better than him after the divorce, Song Guocheng would also feel proud, even feeling a sense of vindication.
“Executive CEO, huh!”
Yang Hao lifted the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then started to think silently.
“Mr. Yang, actually, it doesn’t have to be such a high position!”
Song Xuejiao awkwardly rubbed her hands together, feeling somewhat embarrassed. What her father said about the position of Executive CEO was correct.
But the problem was that her and her ex-husband’s company wasn’t on the same level as Maetian Entertainment at all.
Maetian Entertainment was a publicly listed company!
The income for an Executive CEO position, with an annual salary that was likely in the tens of millions, and the extensive power that came with it, was indeed terrifying!
“How about this, start as the Director of the Chairman’s Office.”
“How does that sound?”
Yang Hao did not know how capable Song Xuejiao was, and the position of Director of the Chairman’s Office was a link between him and the company’s high-level executives, responsible for various tasks requiring exceptional management and coordination skills.
Whether she could do the job well would also serve as a touchstone!
If she performed well, she could be promoted subsequently.
If not, then she could be transferred to another position. For a company as big as Maetian Entertainment, they could afford to have someone like Song Xuejiao slacking off.
“The Director of the Chairman’s Office??”
Upon hearing Yang Hao’s words, Song Xuejiao was stunned. The position sounded not too high in rank, but in reality, it was already considered a core high-level position in the company. To some extent, it could represent the Chairman personally, and department heads didn’t dare to neglect the Director of the Chairman’s Office.
Song Guocheng on the side was also surprised. He, of course, understood the value of this position. He had specifically brought up the title of “Executive CEO” just to give his daughter an edge, meaning that Yang Hao should not offer a position too low.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hao directly offered the position of Director of the Chairman’s Office!
This position was not only about power but also required the trust of the Chairman to fulfill the role.
For a moment, the normally proud Old Song felt somewhat ashamed. Before coming here, he had always thought the worst of the situation, but now it seemed he had misjudged the noble intentions with a villain’s heart!
Both Wang Jingru, who had introduced the job, and Mr. Yang, treated his daughter as their own!
“What’s the matter?”
“Is there a problem?”
Seeing that Song Xuejiao did not respond for a long time, Yang Hao asked again with a smile.
“No problem.”
“It’s just a bit, uh, unexpected.”
“I’m afraid I might not be up to this job!”
“But, since Mr. Yang believes in me, I will certainly work doubly hard!”
Song Xuejiao spoke honestly, simultaneously making her stance clear.
“We’re all family.”
“You probably understand the particularity of this position; it requires someone reliable, and since you are Xueru’s cousin, I naturally trust you.”
“Next, let me tell you about the situation here at Maetian Entertainment. I’ve just acquired the company and plan to reshuffle the higher-ups soon. In your day-to-day work, observe these people and you understand my meaning, right?”
Yang Hao continued to state his intent.
In a high-level meeting, he had already used his Fiery Eyes skill to assess everyone, and most people’s capabilities weren’t an issue, but personal integrity is not something that can be seen at a glance.
Moreover, there were many small groups within the company, and the existence of these groups was detrimental to the development of the company. It was necessary to dismantle them.
Thus, Yang Hao needed people like Song Xuejiao – she, along with Liu Cui and Chen Haiou, could form a network and gradually infiltrate to understand the interpersonal relationships within the entire company, and then make targeted adjustments accordingly.
After all, Maetian Entertainment was a company worth six to seven billion in market value, and it was worth Yang Hao’s effort!
“Mm-hmm, I understand!”
“Please rest assured, Mr. Yang, I will do my utmost to do well in this role, for both professional and personal reasons!”
Song Xuejiao nodded repeatedly, expressing her stance.
This outcome was something she had never anticipated before her visit; she had thought that at most she would be offered a mid-level management position, and she had even been prepared to start over from scratch.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hao not only gave her a position as a core senior executive in the company but also intended to cultivate her as a confidant.
This left Song Xuejiao both surprised and delighted, filled with motivation, as if she couldn’t wait to start working right away.
“Mr. Yang, when should I go to the company to report for duty?”
Song Xuejiao couldn’t wait to ask.
“If you don’t have anything else on your hands, you can start tomorrow.”
“Okay!”
“Then I’ll report to the company tomorrow morning.”
Song Xuejiao’s face lit up with a brilliant smile, the first time she had felt this happy since her divorce.
“Yang, let me chime in.”
“If I understand you correctly, you want to grasp the interpersonal relationships among the higher-ups at Maetian Entertainment and then make targeted personnel adjustments, right?”
At that moment, Song Guocheng suddenly spoke up.
“Yes, indeed!”
“That’s the plan!”
Yang Hao nodded, not denying it.
“Then I have an idea.”
“Why not place our own people at the lower levels of the company?
“For instance, as security guards or in the security department!”
“These positions may seem inconspicuous, but they can actually reveal a lot of the company’s internal gossip.”
Song Guocheng offered his suggestion, and he spoke from experience. Old Zhang, the gatekeeper at the “Hucheng Evening News,” was known as an informant who seemed to be aware of everything that happened.
“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea.”
Yang Hao smiled and nodded; he hadn’t thought of using that channel to gather information.
“It’s just that I don’t have the right person for the job.”
Yang Hao shook his head again.
“I do!”
Song Guocheng had been waiting for these words; his nephew had just been discharged from the army and was looking for work.
Working in the security department of a listed company like Maetian Entertainment would be a fine choice, especially with the connection to Yang Hao—there would be room for promotion in the future!
“If uncle has a suitable candidate, then please recommend them to us!”
Yang Hao made a generous gesture.
“I can recommend two people.”
“One for the gatekeeper, and one for the security department.”
Seeing that Yang Hao was not opposed, Song Guocheng immediately perked up, excitedly saying, “I’ve accumulated nearly two months of leave over the years. I could start by gathering information as your company’s gatekeeper. Also, I have a nephew who has just been discharged from the army who could work in the security department.”
“Ah?”
“Dad, you as a gatekeeper?”
Before Yang Hao could reply, Song Xuejiao was startled by her father’s words. She knew her father well; such a proud man, how could he stoop to be a gatekeeper?
She was puzzled!
Yang Hao also looked at Song Guocheng with a skeptical expression, based on what he had learned about the uncle from the familial WeChat group. As a man of pride, how could he suddenly be willing to work as a gatekeeper?
Moreover, he already had a respectable job!
Was this his plan for retirement?
Yang Hao’s mind worked quickly, certainly Song Guocheng wasn’t interested in a gatekeeper’s job. This was probably just a case of “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.”
He would first earn his keep, then maneuver for a position that suited himself.
Yang Hao was well aware of the psychological state of people like Song Guocheng who were nearing retirement.
They often found it hard to adapt after retiring and could even become anxious. Song Guocheng was likely trying to secure a future for himself so as not to be idle after retiring.
This situation was common among leaders in organizations.
And considering Song Guocheng was a section editor, it was normal for him to have such thoughts.
“Alright, then uncle will have to take on the trouble!”
“Once things are settled, uncle can join the Corporate Culture Department as a director, offering guidance to the young people on their work.”
Having guessed Song Guocheng’s intentions, Yang Hao immediately responded cheerfully.
