My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 494: Mainly for Picking People
Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Mainly for Picking People
The more design cases you have under your belt, and the more famous those cases are, the more people will seek you out for design work.
The renowned designers never lack clients.
It’s hard for newcomers in every field, but it’s even harder in this one.
It’s not so bad if you have a mentor, but then it depends on whether the mentor looking after you has any conscience.
With the right to signing your own work, you can slowly build a reputation, and eventually strike out on your own.
The real fear is doing all the work, contributing your design talents, but not having the right to sign your work, always being invisible with no clients willing to entrust you with design jobs.
And without a doubt, Lu Youxi offered an extremely rare opportunity.
Being able to let students who are still in school, without needing a senior to guide them, personally take on the design work.
Having complete rights to sign their own work.
Even if the design doesn’t become very famous, it is still their own creation, which they can present when talking to clients.
If it really becomes famous, that would indeed be a golden opportunity to skyrocket to fame.
"That’s why we’re not going to make recommendations, recommending someone would be unfair to the other students," the director said, "Additionally, I can’t guarantee the teachers we recommend are completely impartial and won’t suppress talent."
"We’ll endorse you from the school, and you can publish the requirements. Interested students can submit their work, and you will decide who to ultimately use," the director continued, "The school will not be involved in the recommendations."
Lu Youxi nodded, "If it can be done this way, that would be even better."
"The school supports you, but we can’t always let you benefit like this. You also need to sign an agreement with the school, to ensure the interests of you, the students you collaborate with, and the school," said the director.
"Sure," Lu Youxi agreed immediately, "But my lawyer will need to be involved in the drafting of this agreement."
The director: "..."
He almost forgot, this girl is very familiar with the prestigious legal firm!
Minor contracts are handled by the disciples of the prestigious law firm, while major contracts have the firm’s direct involvement!
But then again, the school had no intention of undercutting Lu Youxi, and the director nodded, "That’s fine."
The director smiled and said, "I imagine you won’t only need students from our school."
Without even needing to think about it, Lu Youxi had already scouted the Jing University of Fine Arts, the School of Information Science and Technology, and the School of Economics.
Even the director had to admit that Lu Youxi was quite astute, and the entire leadership of Jing University was listening.
Lu Youxi only recruited within Jing University, where the students are already cream of the crop.
If she were to recruit during the hiring season along with other companies, her company’s competitive edge, given its size, might not be sufficient.
The talents with the best opportunities would all rush to the big companies.
You can’t deny Lu Youxi’s intelligence.
She never looked among graduates.
She searched among students about to graduate.
Those nearing graduation had learned what they needed and just lacked practice.
But even the graduates recruited during the hiring season lacked work experience, so it was all the same.
Lu Youxi, however, could freely choose from the numerous students who hadn’t yet graduated.
As Lu Youxi herself said, if her company is good enough to retain talent, then they will stay with her company even after they graduate.
If it’s not good enough, and they choose to move to another company after graduating, that’s her company’s issue.
"In the future, you’re inevitably going to pick from other departments as well, so let’s get the agreements sorted out and signed all at once. It will make it easier for you when you come back to the school to pick people," the director suggested.
Lu Youxi had just started her sophomore year, so she had at least three more years to scout talent in the school.
"Sure, sure," Lu Youxi quickly agreed.
An opportunity like this, she had to jump on it immediately.
The director couldn’t help but laugh at Lu Youxi’s response and teasingly said, "I feel like you came to Jing University not so much for studying, but mainly for scouting talent."
She was specifically targeting their school to recruit top talent.
"It’s mutually beneficial," Lu Youxi said with a smile, "I also provide the students with internship positions and a wealth of work experience. Even if they don’t work with me after graduating, they’ll have an edge when competing for jobs at big companies."
"The students from other schools don’t have such rich work experience," Lu Youxi added.
"You’re right," the director agreed, "I will need to discuss this with the president, and it will probably require a meeting with the school leaders."
"That’s no problem," Lu Youxi replied, "The agreement for recruiting talent from our school can wait, but contacting our senior students in the architectural design program needs to happen soon, I can’t leave the property empty."
"That’s not a problem," the director nodded and said, "You can go ahead and make your selection, and by the time you’ve made your choice, we should have everything else sorted, including the draft of the agreement."
"But where did you buy the property?" the director couldn’t help but ask gossipingly, "Youxi, your business is expanding quite fast."
"The location is a bit out of the way, and the land was cheap, otherwise, I couldn’t have afforded it," Lu Youxi candidly revealed.
Who knew the director would wave his hand, "Don’t be modest now. Even if it’s cheap, that’s still a large piece of land. Is it something just anyone can afford?"
Lu Youxi laughed, "You have a point."
The director: "..."
Telling you to not be modest and you take it immediately to heart.
The director eagerly asks Lu Youxi exactly where she bought the property, and Lu Youxi shares the details with him.
The director blinks, "Where’s that?"
It was so remote that the director couldn’t place it right away.
Lu Youxi simply took out a notebook and sketched a rough map of Imperial Capital, "Our school is here."
The director nodded, he knew this part.
Lu Youxi then drew a small circle in a blank area far from the school, "I bought the land here."
The director: "..."
"Are you really not afraid of losing money by buying there?" the director couldn’t help asking.
Lu Youxi replied with a smile, "No, I’m quite optimistic about the development of Imperial Capital, and its progress might be much faster than we think."
"In time, this may even become scarce land," Lu Youxi continued, "In a few more years, not only here but even the peripheries, and beyond."
Lu Youxi drew circle after circle, increasing the area on her simple map, "All these places will become very valuable."
The director also knew that the development of Imperial Capital was sure to improve, but he didn’t have as much confidence as Lu Youxi did.
Nevertheless, he followed Lu Youxi’s request and went to consult with the president.
Soon, there was a response from the director’s side.
They asked Lu Youxi to submit what she could offer the students, and then advertise for submissions at the school, selecting drawings and students she found suitable.
The school leadership was currently discussing a long-term partnership with Lu Youxi, recruiting students from various faculties.
Previously, Lu Youxi’s restaurant and internet café had already signed agreements with the school for student part-time recruitment.
