Her Cultivation Diary

The rain has stopped, the sky is clear, and the flowers have been planted. Everyone in the village is busy working on their vegetable gardens, just waiting to transplant the seedlings.

Once they've finished planting at home, they'll transplant to the cleared plots at Lao Song's family.

But...

The 1200 night shift workers still haven't been recruited.

Currently, only the security guards and Liu Liu are picking vegetables at night, which isn't a long-term solution!

Finally, Lun Chuan suggested, "Why not recruit in the livestream room?"

"That's too far," Wu Lan muttered. "Traveling so far without making money, what's the point?"

After all, a lifetime as an old farmer doesn't understand the survival pressure of today's young people, but Lun Chuan does.

Even if he doesn't, looking at the laid-back mindset online today shows it. A decade ago, online literature trends had protagonists striving hard, now it's instant success with golden shortcuts, lying flat and lazy.

If that's not enough, look at women's fiction, where the iron rice bowl of civil service exams is gradually replacing the domineering CEO.

It's not that having money is bad, but the iron rice bowl ensures stability.

But Zhang Yanping understands: "It might actually work!"

He thought about the short videos he's seen over the past couple years — women joining daycare meal groups, living on 10 yuan a day, returning home anxious and depressed for retirement...

All these titles show the cost and pressure of city life today.

This piqued his interest: "What if someone really wants to enjoy a peaceful time in the countryside? We offer room and board, working just two or three hours each night. Whether it's for physical or mental well-being, isn't this good?"

"What do you think, Tantan, should we recruit?"

Song Tan laughed: "Let's recruit!"

Song Sancheng was a bit hesitant: "The ones recruited might not last long, it's unstable!"

"Besides, if they're not motivated by the salary, it must be wealthy city folks... Will they even pick vegetables?"

"It's not that difficult!" Zhang Yanping replied casually. "Just pick vegetables, tidy them up, put them in baskets, load them on the truck — if they really don't know, we can teach them a bit!"

"If they still can't do it, then we can just let them go."

"If someone intentionally slacks off, we just won't sell them any vegetables in the future!"

"This year's variety is abundant, and Boss Chang wants the freshest daily. We can't rely on security guards forever."

Zhang Yanping, part-time in HR, used his trump card: "Well, think it over! The security team picking at night gets overtime pay."

"It's higher than hiring people separately."

Actually, counting room and board costs, it's not that high, but calculating only the salary, Song Sancheng and Wu Lan made the decision:

"Let's recruit."

Then they looked at Lun Chuan: "Sure enough, Xiaolun is clever — we've been thinking a long time and didn't think of this!"

Lun Chuan: ...

This straightforward favor made him a bit perplexed; he simply explained: "Tantan and the others must have thought of it long ago. If it weren't hard to recruit nearby, they wouldn't have chosen this method."

"After all, the turnover rate is high."

Although these are Yanping's responsibility, employee comings and goings, and needing to keep the address confidential, create quite a hassle.

But now, they had to accept it.

And this recruitment task, shuffled around, finally landed on Qiaoqiao.

The child was proud of his HR role, even drafted a speech internally, then waved his hand confidently:

"Start the stream!"

"Stream what?" Wu Lan laughed at him. "What's there to stream at home? For recruiting, you should go to the fields, people love to watch that."

"Also, let the applicants see our work environment."

"Go, go, go, head to the vegetable field on the mountain."

"Oh." HR Qiao Shouzhan went obediently, pedaling his little tricycle uphill. Meanwhile, Zhang Yanping quickly posted an announcement in the livestream room —

Though this announcement was barely minutes before the stream.

[Recruiting! No social security, no housing fund, night shift recruitment!]

...

So when Qiaoqiao opened the livestream on the mountain, the chat was so crowded with messages there was no time for greetings, just a string of question marks—

[...???]

[??? Recruiting??]

[Alright! Our Qiaoqiao has become a capitalist now!]

[The dragon-slaying boy eventually becomes the dragon, has my online oasis disappeared?]

[Argh, workers can't stand this title! Hang Qiaoqiao on the lamppost!]

[Hehehe, you hang him while I sneak away, I'll steal Qiao Bao home]

[An unemployed person rushes in swiftly—easy easy! Just pay well!]

[A wealthy person rushes in swiftly—easy easy, just sell me the vegetables!]

[Alright, alright, you haven't even mentioned the benefits and you're already competing!]

[I don't care, I don't care, it's spring, does the host sell peach petals?]

[The silver ear mushrooms should be sold now, right?]

[Tea leaves, tea leaves, tea leaves, tea leaves...]

Meanwhile, Qiaoqiao quietly adjusts the camera and stand: "Kids, do you see the vegetable field in front of you? This is your work environment!"

[How is it my work environment? I haven't even applied yet!]

[Wow—look at the distant mountains with clouds, it's so beautiful]

[I bet living in the village is super healthy]

[Who doesn't want the idyllic life?]

[The work environment seems nice, but borrowers can't afford to be capricious]

[Host, look at me! I'm a college student, innocent and stupid, hardworking, and cheap!]

On the mountain, Qiaoqiao diligently showcased the comprehensive work environment, while Zhang Yanping chuckled at the chat:

Today's netizens are socially anxious offline but daring online!

The livestream viewers were rapidly increasing, thanks to the announcement (though not much earlier) and the eye-catching title, drawing even more spectators than usual!

Zhang Yanping watched the growing numbers and suddenly realized:

"Tantan, how many should we recruit?"

Song Tan thought: "6-10 people, maybe."

Considering not everyone can persist, plus some are truly clumsy...

Also, the vegetable quantity is quite large, and more people are needed to slightly clean up, 6-10 people should be enough.

Currently, there's no cleaning due to lack of hands, but hauling muddy produce to the hotel's kitchen for cleaning isn't as convenient as in the countryside.

Even when Song Tan used to sell vegetables at a stall, she had to tidy them up; facing the perfect client, Boss Chang, she put in extra effort.

And Zhang Yanping calculated: "The livestream viewers have already exceeded fifty thousand, and will keep increasing — I don't believe we can't pick out ten people!"
