Xia Ruofei originally planned to go upstairs, but when he saw the black Mercedes-Benz car returning to the farm, he dismissed the idea and walked out of the villa.
This Mercedes-Benz car was a congratulatory gift from Tang He during the ribbon-cutting ceremony two days ago. Xia Ruofei didn't like this kind of standard business style, so he used this car for the company's senior executives. In fact, it was allocated to Feng Jing.
Of course, if there were some more important business occasions that required Xia Ruofei to attend, he wouldn't reject using this car.
The road from the farm entrance to the complex building would turn at the small villa.
When Qin Xiaojun, who was driving, saw Xia Ruofei coming out of the villa, he naturally stepped on the brakes and stopped.
After attending the job fair, Pang Hao went straight back to his home in the city, so there was only Feng Jing in the back seat of the car.
When Feng Jing saw Xia Ruofei, she immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
Xia Ruofei stood on the driver's side and cast an inquiring look at Qin Xiaojun. Qin Xiaojun naturally understood Xia Ruofei's meaning and whispered, "Brother Xia, everything is normal. There are no suspicious people."
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and didn't continue to ask. The specific situation was still unclear, so there was no need to worry Feng Jing.
In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't know that Liang Haiming's power in Sanshan City wasn't strong. After all, Southeast Province was Family Song's traditional sphere of influence, and the Liang family's influence was limited. Therefore, Liang Haiming's revenge was directed at him personally, and he didn't plan to deal with Taoyuan Farm for the time being.
In fact, Liang Haiming didn't care about such a small farm.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's worries were actually unnecessary. It was just that from his point of view, he had to prepare for the worst.
"Chairman." Feng Jing greeted with a smile after getting out of the car.
Xia Ruofei also showed a gentle smile and asked, "Manager Feng, you've worked hard! How's the situation today? "
"Not bad! It's better than expected. "Feng Jing smiled.
"Let's go, we'll talk as we walk!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's almost time for dinner. Ask your wife to prepare two more dishes."
Then Xia Ruofei said to Qin Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, park your car and come with us!"
"Okay, Brother Xia!" Qin Xiaojun said with a grin, and then drove away.
"Chairman, we received more than 40 resumes today." Feng Jing said as she walked, "I've done a preliminary check. There are about 20 people who meet the requirements. The job fair will end in a day. I'm going to continue tomorrow to see if I can get anything."
"More than forty? Not bad! "Xia Ruofei was also a little surprised." It seems that it's not easy to find a job now! There are actually people rushing to sign up for a job at the farm. "
Feng Jing smiled and said, "We are hiring under the name of the Taoyuan Company. We didn't specify the job location, but if the applicants ask, we will tell them the truth. I'm going to screen them tomorrow night and send out the interview notice. The day after tomorrow, the interview will be at the farm. I think we have to be mentally prepared. There should be people who want to back out. "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "This is not forced! We welcome those who meet the requirements and are willing to stay. We won't force those who don't want to. But I'm sure that it won't be long before those who give up will regret it! "
Xia Ruofei's words were full of confidence, but Feng Jing now had a comprehensive understanding of the Taoyuan Company's situation, so she didn't think that Xia Ruofei was arrogant at all. Instead, she nodded in agreement.
Xia Ruofei continued to ask, "Oh right, how's the situation on the Internet?"
"The response is pretty good." Feng Jing said, "On the recruitment website, we clearly wrote down the job location and related benefits. There are a lot of people who are interested. As of this morning, we have received about 30 e-resumes!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Xia Ruofei was very satisfied with the result.
"But some of the people who signed up online aren't from Sanshan, so I plan to interview them separately. The ones who signed up online will be in the next batch," Feng Jing said.
"Okay." Xia Ruofei agreed without thinking.
The two chatted and soon arrived at the complex building.
Qin Xiaojun had already parked his car in the parking lot behind the building. There was a row of parking spaces with canopies behind the complex building, where the Mercedes-Benz was usually parked.
The three of them went to the staff cafeteria on the first floor.
Except for Cao Tieshu, the other farm employees basically went home after work. Lunch on the farm was provided for free, but dinner had to be paid. They could go to Pang Hao from the finance department to get a card, charge it, and then swipe it when eating.
The villagers were generally more thrifty, so almost no one stayed for dinner.
Cao Tieshu, on the other hand, was too lazy to go home because his wife was here, so he ate every dinner at the farm. After that, he stayed to help his wife clean up the cafeteria, and then the old couple went home together.
Therefore, for the time being, when it was dinner time in the staff cafeteria, there were only Lei Hu, Cao Tieshu, his wife, and two other staff members in the cafeteria, Xia Ruofei, and Feng Jing.
Lei Hu and the others didn't eat in the cafeteria today because they were on high alert, so it seemed even more deserted.
Xia Ruofei greeted Cao Tieshu, who was eating, and asked Cao Tieshu's wife to help cook a few stir-fried dishes. Then he took Feng Jing and Qin Xiaojun to an empty table and sat down.
Of course, Xia Ruofei also swiped his card when eating. The entire company belonged to him, and it's just going in from his left pocket and out from his right pocket. He was more than happy to set an example.
Soon, Cao Tieshu's wife served a few home-cooked dishes, and Xia Ruofei, Feng Jing, and Qin Xiaojun chatted while eating.
"Oh, Manager Feng, I remember we still need to hire two more Directors, right?" Xia Ruofei asked. "Did you find anything in the past two days?"
Feng Jing said: "It's not easy to find Directors in the market. But I had worked in a few big companies before, and I have some connections. I have been contacting a few suitable candidates, but it's not easy to get them to make up their minds. "
Xia Ruofei nodded. He knew the Taoyuan Company was not attractive enough, and there was no need for Directors to come to a small company like his.
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Feng." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Do your best! If it's not possible, we can hire a headhunting company. Anyway, let's set up the administrative team first, and it will be more convenient in the future. "
"Okay." Feng Jing said.
Then she asked, "Chairman, when are we going to the Village Committee to talk about the land lease?"
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Dongkeng Village is an old acquaintance, and we can make an appointment anytime. How about this! You go to the job fair tomorrow as usual, and the interview will be the day after tomorrow. Then let's go to the Village Committee the day after tomorrow, and try to finalize the land lease within one day! "
"Okay!" Feng Jing nodded and said.
After dinner, Feng Jing said goodbye to Xia Ruofei and went upstairs to her office.
Although it was already night time, Feng Jing did not intend to rest. She needed to organize the resumes she received today, and she also needed to go online to pay attention to the online recruitment. She also needed to contact the candidates for the Director, and there were many things she needed to prepare in advance for the interview in a few days.
Feng Jing was a standard career woman, and she worked regardless of day or night. Moreover, she was now living in the apartment on the third floor, and it could be said that the company was her home.
Xia Ruofei was very pleased with Feng Jing's enthusiasm, and he did not say anything about not working at night. The company was just starting out, and it was normal to work overtime. Xia Ruofei would not discourage Feng Jing at this time.
After Feng Jing left, Xia Ruofei asked Qin Xiaojun about the details of today's job fair. Of course, he mainly asked about the safety issues.
Qin Xiaojun also told Xia Ruofei in full detail.
Xia Ruofei understood that Feng Jing and the others did not encounter any problems during the day. He pondered for a moment, and then asked Qin Xiaojun to call Lei Hu over.
"Huzi! Ask Hong Tao to withdraw! "Xia Ruofei said," You guys work hard at night, and strengthen the patrol! During the day … Mainly pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people around the farm. If you find anything, do not act rashly and alert the enemy, and report to me at any time! "
"Yes, Brother Xia!" Lei Hu said immediately.
Xia Ruofei patted Lei Hu's shoulder, then stepped out of the staff cafeteria and returned to his small villa.
After Xia Ruofei returned to his room, he did not rush to enter the Ring-Tu space.
First, he took out the booklet from the stone room in the new space, then calmed his mind and studied the content on the third page, which was about the refining of the soul puppet's core.
Especially the mysterious runes that needed to be personally engraved, Xia Ruofei repeatedly studied, not missing a single detail.
His mental power was already very condensed, and his brain development was also far beyond that of ordinary people. If it was an ordinary book, even if he didn't have a photographic memory, he would at least be able to firmly remember every single detail after reading it two or three times.
However, the content recorded in this booklet was very mysterious, especially the core runes, which were extremely complicated. Sometimes, two runes that looked the same had many differences in depth, arc, and other details.
This core rune was divided into several independent parts, and each part needed to be engraved with a single stroke. Otherwise, the entire material would be wasted.
With such high requirements and great difficulty, Xia Ruofei naturally did not dare to take it lightly. He spent a full two hours, and finally engraved every detail and angle of the core rune in his mind.
Next, he could begin to engrave.
However, Xia Ruofei was not a hothead. The sheep-fat white jade was very precious, so he naturally could not use it to engrave right away. He definitely needed to practice at the beginning.
Xia Ruofei was already prepared for this.
When he was strolling around the jade market today, he bought some cheap ordinary jade materials. In order to make the practice more effective, he tried to pick some white jade. Presumably, after practicing on white jade of similar materials, the probability of failure would be minimized when he tried to carve on the best mutton fat white jade.
In addition to buying ordinary white jade of average quality, Xia Ruofei also bought a few good carving knives.
He did not enter the Ring-Tu space, and directly began to practice in the room.
Xia Ruofei sat on a chair, and on the small tea table next to him, there was a cloth bag full of white jade about ten centimeters in diameter. As for the booklet, Xia Ruofei had already taken it back to the Ring-Tu space. He had already memorized the core rune of the soul puppet, so naturally, he did not need this booklet.
Xia Ruofei casually took out a piece of jade material from the cloth bag and held it in his hand. His right hand steadily picked up the carving knife, and after taking a deep breath, he decisively cut.
He chose a relatively simple part of the core rune. Easy first, hard later!
The white jade material was relatively soft, and Xia Ruofei's hand strength was incomparably strong, so he easily drew a shallow trace on the surface of the jade material.
Xia Ruofei held his breath and concentrated. With a slight twist of his wrist, the carving knife in his hand drew an arc.
This arc was only half drawn when Xia Ruofei sighed and put away the carving knife.
There was a special text in the booklet that emphasized that every independent part of the core rune had to be drawn in one stroke. The whole process had to be done in one go, or the combination of the runes would not be able to achieve the desired effect.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's first attempt was a quick failure.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already felt it when he was carving. When he drew the arc, he did not control his strength well enough, and the arc was clearly too deep.
Every independent part of the rune did not seem too complicated, but the requirements for the details were too high, so it was not as easy as imagined. If he was not careful, he would make a mistake.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was not discouraged. He did not throw away the piece of white jade. Instead, he changed his position and continued to practice. There were still many empty spaces on the white jade. He was only practicing one part of the rune, and a piece of jade material was enough for him to practice many times.
He tried the same rune for the second time.
One-third of the way through, failure.
Third attempt, failure.
Fourth attempt, failure.
… …
Xia Ruofei tried more than ten times in a row, and finally succeeded once.
At this time, the surface of the white jade was densely covered with runes. Of course, most of them were failed half-finished products.
Xia Ruofei did not think that this was enough. An occasional success did not mean anything.
He directly turned the white jade over. The other side was still empty, so he could continue practicing.
Xia Ruofei was still carving the rune that he had succeeded once.
The speed of the carving knife in his hand was getting faster and faster, and the success rate was getting higher and higher. After more than two hours, Xia Ruofei was able to succeed eight or nine times out of ten.
Moreover, he felt that he should have completely mastered this rune, so he stopped.
At this time, there were five or six pieces of jade that were densely covered with runes beside Xia Ruofei.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also gained some insight and understanding during the process of practice. If he directly held the carving knife and followed the diagram in the booklet step by step, the possibility of failure was still very high. After all, this rune required too much detail. However, Xia Ruofei accidentally tried to apply his mental strength through his arm to the carving knife. Suddenly, he had a mysterious insight.
His control of the carving knife suddenly improved a lot, and he felt like he was in the finest detail.
Because the tip of the knife was also filled with mental strength, Xia Ruofei's control of the weight, depth, and angle of the carving process became many times sharper.
In this way, the success rate suddenly increased.
It was also because of this insight and practice that Xia Ruofei's success rate of carving this rune skyrocketed.
After successfully carving the rune on the last blank part of the white jade like moving clouds and flowing water, he finally put down the carving knife. He already had a grasp of the first simple rune.
There were a total of eighteen independent runes on the entire soul puppet's core. Moreover, the remaining seventeen runes were each more complicated than the rune he had just practiced.
This was only the first step of a long journey!
Xia Ruofei rested for a while and took out a new piece of white jade from the cloth bag. He grabbed the carving knife and began practicing the second rune.
He seemed to have forgotten the passage of time.
Under the light, the carving knife in Xia Ruofei's hand flew nimbly, and jade shavings constantly fell off. The pieces of white jade were engraved with mysterious runes that did not have any pattern to them.
Xia Ruofei had entered a state of complete selflessness.
When his hand reached into the cloth bag and emptied it, he suddenly realized that the entire bag, at least a hundred pieces of white jade, had been used up.
The ground in front of Xia Ruofei was also covered with a thick layer of jade shavings.
At this time, the sky outside the window was already turning white. Xia Ruofei had unknowingly practiced for an entire night.
Xia Ruofei put down the carving knife and stood in front of the window. He stretched his body and rubbed his sore wrist, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
