Chapter 610: 411. The Fairy Tale of Idealism
"Let’s invite the founder of the ’Golden Stone’ IP, freshman at Nanhu University—Lu Jincheng, to the stage to speak!"
The host, He Ying, spoke with modulation, and the leaders and guests on stage, as well as thousands of teachers and students below, simultaneously focused their attention on her.
Professional, poised, graceful.
A true beauty of temperament.
This was the first impression that surfaced in the minds of the audience present.
Today, He Ying was wearing a custom-made formal shirt, but not made from the stiff and structured fabric typical for shaping.
Instead, it was soft and elegant, like the silky satin synonymous with her character.
The bow under the shirt perfectly balanced the toughness and antiquity of the business suit, further enhancing the host’s presence in the grand auditorium; the eye-catching effect was more pronounced.
Yet all this attention quickly shifted to another man.
He was the real protagonist of the night.
"Thank you to the school leadership for the invitation and for the consistent emphasis on talent cultivation."
Lu Jincheng bowed, smiling with modesty and courtesy.
"I’m here today to briefly introduce the companies under the Golden Stone and the employment opportunities we can offer everyone."
"To save everyone’s time, I’ll get straight to the point, only sharing the essentials."
Next, Mr. Lu pressed the remote in his hand, and the PPT on the screen behind him unfolded slowly.
Although Nanhu University is his alma mater, Lu Jincheng’s dynamic entrepreneurship journey has been extensively covered by the school.
Even at various gala events, debate competitions, and miscellaneous small activities, the Golden Stone Media logo and sponsorship were omnipresent.
Yet, in truth, everyone knows that Golden Stone Media trains internet celebrities, but not everyone wants to become an internet celebrity.
Alumni with a deep understanding of the company and those actively preparing to submit resumes are not in the majority.
These days, fresh graduates determined to establish themselves in internet enterprises are undoubtedly extraordinary among talents.
Mr. Lu patiently introduced the current talent needs of several companies to the audience.
For example, Golden Stone Media, the most prominent and well-known.
Marketing planning, functional/research & development, talent management, photography/post-production, directing, operations, business development, and other positions don’t attract as much talent as being a host does.
In the minds of most people, if they don’t become hosts, joining Golden Stone Media might seem pointless.
However, Lu Jincheng swiftly dispelled everyone’s confusion through professional explanations.
"In terms of remuneration, alumni needn’t worry at all."
"We don’t make grand promises to match first-tier city big company salaries at this stage, but we can guarantee three things."
"In terms of salary, ensuring top-tier status in Jiang City, in terms of development space, with no upper limit, and in terms of industry prospects, brimming with potential."
After finishing with Golden Stone Media, Lu Jincheng shifted his tone, changing the PPT to the next page.
Of course, the companies he oversees are not limited to just Golden Stone Media.
The booming Miao Yin is in a crucial period of recruitment.
Quickly, the content on the PPT reached the last page.
Lu Jincheng gazed at the pairs of excited eyes below, smiling as he opened his hands and made a pressing-down gesture.
Although this is just Nanhu University, just another ordinary employment mobilization meeting in a large auditorium.
Yet he intuitively felt that a bit of emotion was necessary.
A bit of fiery zeal that could naturally ignite the fighting spirit in people.
Thus, he closed the folder of speech documents prepared by his assistant in advance and continued speaking.
"Actually, I always believe that running a business entails not just actively taking on social responsibilities but also constantly pursuing one’s dreams, thinking of the future for employees."
"As you may know, the next guest speaker is a heavyweight—Mou Keyan."
The audience responded, laughter ensued.
"She comes from our Golden Stone Media."
"Our company, not only can it lift talent show champions such as Golden Phoenix, but it also either directly or indirectly changes many people’s lives."
"Next, I want to tell a story."
Lu Jincheng paused for a moment, starting to brew emotions.
"Initially, Golden Stone Media wasn’t called Golden Stone Media, it was just an inconspicuous studio in the corner of the school."
"The story’s protagonist was an employee in that studio, a girl full of idealism."
"She grew up in a village, hadn’t stepped out of that county town, that mountainous area before graduating high school, and had always yearned for the big city."
The auditorium gradually turned silent.
Even the host standing in the corner quietly pursed her shiny lips.
"Originally, her only thought was to stay in Jiang City, whether for herself or her descendants, to find a better and more superior environment."
"But for a poor family, staying in Jiang City would indeed be just a pie in the sky."
"She fought hard to secure a spot for graduate studies, the most common path to increase educational qualifications, but eventually met with unexpected failure."
"Later, she wanted to take the Jiang City civil servant exam, but couldn’t afford the expensive preparation courses, and her foundation was no match for long-term competitors, making her study path far from smooth."
"Even her family advised her to give up her fantasy, return home to marry and consider working locally."
"She too once wanted to give up."
"But at this very moment, by chance, she joined Golden Stone Studio, which later became Golden Stone Media."
"Her entire destiny took a turn."
"Her dream was realized this year."
"She owns her own house in Jiang City, although not large, for a family, the hope of the next generation to leap from rural to urban life proves that the family’s hard efforts were not in vain."
