Chapter 139: Establishing a School

Gu Hanchen continued to curse on the phone: "I shouldn't have given them shares. The shares they own after the listing gave them the confidence to resign. If I had known, I wouldn't have recruited female colleagues. From now on, men will be given priority in senior management selection!
I worked so hard to train a senior executive, but he resigned for his child. What do you think of Mi Chen?"

Yuan Xi said: "Gender should never be considered in senior management selection."

Gu Hanchen said: "Don't look at gender? Look at now, they all resigned after the listing. We will spend five or six years to train a senior executive, but they resigned for the sake of their children's education. Mi Chen is not just doing good deeds.

They don’t even think about the fact that the daughters they have worked so hard to raise may choose to be full-time mothers like them in the future. What’s the point of quitting their jobs to raise their daughters? I am really impressed!”

Gu Hanchen hung up the phone angrily.

Yuan Xi sighed helplessly. This was indeed a vicious circle. Most of the people who could enter Mi Chen graduated from top universities.

For example, Deputy Manager Meng is an undergraduate and graduate student of A City University of Finance and Economics and has a CPA certificate. He has been a top student since he was a child.

After becoming the vice president of Mi Chen's finance department, with an annual salary of one million, it is considered a good position. Now she resigns to raise her daughter. By the time she has raised a top daughter whom she has worked so hard to cultivate, will she choose to give up all the results of her hard work and become a full-time mother for the sake of her future child?
But in this kind of environment, it is difficult for a mother to let her daughter lag behind others at the starting line.

Yuan Xi touched her belly gently and sighed slightly.

Yuan Xi didn't have much appetite at dinner time.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "The food is not tasty? Or is today's food not to your liking?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "It's because I'm a little bored with the things going on in the company. After the company went public, many female colleagues wanted to resign for the sake of their children.

I just feel that this world is quite unfair to mothers, especially the admission requirements of some top elementary schools nowadays, which force mothers to work full-time.

A six-year-old child needs to master 2000 Chinese characters, 1500 English words, addition and subtraction within 100, and at least three different types of hobbies..."

Yuan Xi sighed softly: "It's really hard to have children nowadays, and it's even harder to be a mother. If it's really like this now, a large number of female colleagues in Michen's senior management will resign, and new female colleagues will have very few opportunities in future senior management selections."

Huo Shiyan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Yuan Xi and said, "This is indeed a problem."

Yuan Xi looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs and came up with a bold plan in his mind: "What do you think about us investing in a new school? It covers preschool to high school."

"The reason why those top elementary schools are so great is because of their teaching staff, and Mi Chen's capital can easily poach top teachers, which can help company employees reduce the pressure of educating children and avoid leaving their jobs for their children's education."

Huo Shiyan said: "Your suggestion is good, but the school can be separated from Mi Chen and not labeled as Mi Chen."

Yuan Xi nodded and thought it made sense. After all, Mi Chen was a gaming company. If a gaming company set up a school, it would probably not be able to recruit any other students.

Huo Shiyan said: "Do you have a good site? Recently, there is indeed a piece of land to be auctioned in Jiangcheng. Fu'an Group has chosen it to build a new shopping mall. It would be suitable to use it to build a school."

Yuan Xi said: "The location of the preschool and kindergarten should be near Michen, so that the company's employees can be picked up and dropped off nearby. The primary school should also be in the city. The piece of land you mentioned is quite suitable.

As for middle schools and high schools, I think it would be nice if they were near a lake. By then, they will build horse racing and ski resorts and other sports venues there. If some classmates want to apply for international classes to study abroad, they can also participate in various sports nearby.

If you take the college entrance examination in China, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, sufficient oxygen, and the pressure will not be so high..."

Huo Shiyan nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Yuan Xi definitely cannot accomplish such a big task as building a school alone.

Yuan Xi asked Mi Chen, the director of the Human Resources Department, to help her contact headhunters and find some outstanding talents in the education industry to be responsible for setting up the new school.

Yuan Xi was busy during the weekend. She took advantage of the rest time to think about school matters.

The land on Shannan Road that Huo Shiyan mentioned is located in the center of Jiangcheng City. It has a good location and convenient transportation. If it is auctioned, it is indeed very suitable for building a primary school. However, Fu An Group also has its eyes on this land, and it is the first time that Fu Yi has taken over the auction of this land. It seems that the Fu family attaches great importance to this land...

"Shi Yan, I heard that Fu An Group is determined to get this piece of land. If we go to the auction, is there a small chance of getting it? And with your relationship with the Fu family, if you go to grab their land..."

Huo Shiyan said: "This is not the Fu family's land yet, it doesn't matter."

On Monday, the headhunter introduced by the director of the human resources department quickly introduced two people to Yuan Xi.

One is Mr. Shen Jie, the vice president of Jiangcheng Ruyun Education Group. Mr. Shen is 35 years old and was supposed to be promoted this year. However, Ruyun Education parachuted in a relative of the chairman and targeted Shen Jie and the teachers he recruited.

Shen Jie originally planned to start his own business and open a training class, but it is difficult to open a training class now. As soon as a headhunter found him, Shen Jie was willing to come to Yuan Xi's newly established school which had nothing.

Another person the headhunter is looking for is the founder of Shengkong Training. He has many excellent teachers under him, but because of the intervention of capital, he has now been kicked out of the management.

Yuan Xi discussed with them in the conference room for an entire afternoon and decided to cooperate.

After Yuan Xi left the conference room, Gu Hanchen frowned and looked at her and asked, "Who did you talk to for the whole afternoon?"

Yuan Xi told Gu Hanchen about his idea of ​​starting a school: "As for employees who leave their jobs for their children, the best thing to do is to help them solve the difficulties in raising their children."

Gu Hanchen frowned in his wheelchair: "Your proposal is even less reliable than my pig farm! It would be better to build a few more pig farms."

Yuan Xi chuckled: "They are both raising pigs. Raising students is the same as raising pigs. By then, the new school cafeteria can be a big customer of your pig farm."

Gu Hanchen said, "Have you decided what to name the school? I want to invest in it, and Mi Chen will also invest in it."

Yuan Xi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet, but I have to start thinking about it. The auction of the land on Shannan Road also requires setting up a company to bid for it."

Gu Hanchen said: "I will give you a name, how about Chenxi? My Chen, your Xi, homophonic to Chenxi..."

Huo Shiyan's voice sounded behind Gu Hanchen: "Do you think it's appropriate?"

Gu Hanchen smelled a strong sense of jealousy, pressed the switch on the electric wheelchair, and drove back to his office.

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen's fleeing back and chuckled. Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyan and said, "I think the name of the school should also be Shixi, okay?"

Huo Shiyan nodded: "Okay."

After Yuan Xi decided on the name of the school, Huo Shiyan helped Yuan Xi contact a construction company that had dealings with Shi Yi and came up with a preliminary plan for the construction of the elementary and middle schools.

Yuan Xi has been very busy these days, and has no free time until the end of the month.
The land auction will be after the National Day holiday, and a lot of information needs to be prepared.

Although today is Sunday, we still need to go to work because of the adjustment of the day off. Perhaps because Tuesday is a seven-day holiday, the employees in President Mi Chen's secretary office are particularly relaxed today.

When Yuan Xi went to the tea room to grind coffee, he heard their discussion.

"Wow, Mr. Huo is so handsome. The video of him being interviewed was so handsome that it became the number one trending search!"

"The 30-second video of Mr. Huo smiling has received nearly a million likes. It's only been a short time since it was released..."

"But I think he's more handsome in person. Mr. Huo on camera isn't as handsome as he is in person. I really envy Sister Xiaoxi!"

"What kind of tag is this! Mr. Huo is already married, why are there still stupid marketing accounts that support Mr. Huo and Gao Yang as a couple? When Gao Yang interviews Si Chen, they support Si Chen and Gao Yang as a couple, and when they interview Mr. Huo, they support Mr. Huo and Gao Yang as a couple. There is really no sense of boundaries at all."
