Lu Nianzhi was just as surprised as Ran Jing.
She looked at Rong Dai, her eyes filled with complicated emotions of gratitude and self-reproach.
Rong Dai gave her a reassuring look, instructing everyone else to focus their attention on Ran Yu.
She beckoned Zong Che over to take a seat next to her.
"I'm very pleased you'll be working here. You'll have to work hard from now on."
Although she didn't know Zong Che's background, Gu Xiaosi wouldn't arrange just anyone to be with her.
"I'll do my job well, don't worry Ms. Rong." Zong Che nodded.
"Since you're here now, let's watch Ms. Ran's performance together."
"The company has already put out print ads, next is the livestream."
Rong Dai briefly explained the situation.
Zong Che nodded in acknowledgement, taking out a tablet from his briefcase, his expression serious as he looked towards Ran Yu.
The sudden addition of a stranger to the office added pressure for Ran Yu.
Ran Yu took a deep breath to steady her emotions. When Rong Dai said to begin, Ran Yu breathed deeply before entering livestream mode.
At first, Ran Yu was very nervous, only hitting her stride after three minutes.
She had a strong foundation in the Chinese language. For a 15 minute livestream, it wasn't perfect, but it was still excellent.
Overall Rong Dai was quite satisfied.
Sitting next to her, Zong Che glanced at his tablet, his gaze piercing as he looked at Ran Yu.
"Ms. Ran Yu, I have a question for you."
As soon as he spoke, Ran Yu immediately tensed up again.
"If you were to encounter a similar livestreaming situation from two years ago, how would you handle it?"
Zong Che asked very seriously.
This was also something Rong Dai wanted to know.
Admitting one's mistakes wasn't difficult, the hard part was correcting them.
"I..."
Ran Yu was nervous, with memories of what happened two years ago flashing through her mind.
Zong Che didn't rush her. The office was quiet for two to three minutes.
"First, I would sternly point out his offense."
"Second, I would continue the livestream."
"Third, after the livestream ends I would have my assistant resolve the matter."
A few minutes later, Ran Yu finally dared to look Zong Che in the eye to respond.
"Very good."
Zong Che nodded, taking notes on his tablet.
"I won't deny Ms. Ran Yu that your mastery of the Chinese language is considerable, but when introducing products, what we need is pragmatism, not excessive ornate rhetoric."
Ran Yu's face instantly paled, nervously fiddling with her bag strap again.
"Ms. Rong, based on this livestream..."
"Although Ms. Ran Yu still has many flaws, if she's willing to work hard, the company signing her on wouldn't be an issue."
Rong Dai wasn't an expert in this area. She listened to Zong Che's advice.
She looked towards Ran Yu, "I look forward to your future performances."
Ran Yu was stunned, then after a few seconds burst into tears of joy, bowing to Rong Dai to express her gratitude.
Rong Dai looked at her, her tone still serious and solemn. "This is just preliminary approval of you. If in the future you fail to meet requirements, I will fire you all the same."
"Even if Jing Jie is at the company."
"I understand! I will work hard!"
Ran Yu hurriedly wiped her tears away, her sweet face showing a mix of crying and laughing emotions.
"I will start training as soon as possible, to get Ms. Ran Yu adapted to the livestreaming format as quickly as possible."
"For the company's platform, I want a promotional strategy proposal this afternoon."
Zong Che's gaze precisely fell upon Huo Mei Shu and Long Hang.
Clearly he had done his homework before coming.
Rong Dai really liked Zong Che's style of decisive action. She instantly felt much more at ease.
