Chapter 101 Traveling with the Whole Family
"Hurry up and throw it out! Throw it out! Then go wash your hands, wash them ten times, no, wash them twenty times!!"
Nia was startled by her mother's earth-shattering scream, and her little ears drooped down in fright.
"oh oh!"
Instinctively obeying her mother's raging command, she raised her little hand, and with a whoosh, the poor field mouse drew a perfect parabola in the air and disappeared outside the wall.
"It's been thrown out..."
Nia shrank her neck pitifully.
Just as she was about to go to the tap to wash her hands, her sensitive little ears keenly extracted key words from the chaos just now.
"What did Mom and Dad just say? Going out to play?"
As a little dragon who would never hesitate to eat and play, Nia's mental cache of mice was instantly cleared.
She slid in and lunged forward, grabbing Lin Yan's leg tightly.
She tilted her head back, her big, round eyes blinking, filled with innocent longing.
"dad!"
"You guys are going to the city to play?!"
Lin Yan: "..."
Nia hugged his leg and shook it.
"I want to go! I want to go too! I want to go out and play with you all!"
As she spoke, she turned and waved to Miki.
"Micky! Come here! Hurry up and hug Daddy's leg too!"
Miki realized what was happening and immediately ran over, obediently hugging Lin Yan's other leg.
The two little ones were hanging on his lap, one on each side, while the still-shaken Hill was clinging to his arms.
Lin Yan looked at the three treasures on his body.
He helplessly held his forehead.
Originally, I just wanted to take advantage of the business trip to secretly enjoy a sweet time with my wife.
Now, it's all gone for good.
……
Early morning, at the entrance of Tiancun Village.
Lin Jiayao was dressed in a sharp, bespoke suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he carried a genuine leather briefcase, looking every bit the efficient and decisive professional.
He raised his hand to check the time on his phone.
"That kid, Ah Yan, finally got out of bed..."
Lin Jiayao raised his head with satisfaction, but when he saw the figure walking in front of him, the smile on his lips instantly narrowed.
Lin Yan was dressed in a casual T-shirt and shorts, holding the hand of Xier, who was wearing a sun hat, with Nia and Miki carrying small duck bags behind him.
This doesn't look like a recruitment team scrambling for talent in the provincial capital; it looks like a family of four getting ready for a vacation!
Good morning!
Nia excitedly waved the meat bun in her hand at Lin Jiayao.
Lin Jiayao was speechless and choked with emotion.
"Ayan...we're going to work, why did you bring your younger brother, sister-in-law, and child?"
Lin Yan gripped Xier's hand tighter, as if it were perfectly justified.
"Shouldn't our company's recruitment reflect a warm, family-like atmosphere? My wife and kids are the best advertisement! Come on, get in the car, don't be late for the auspicious time!"
A few hours later, at the Communication University of the provincial capital.
Universities in big cities are indeed impressive, with lush tree-lined avenues, avant-garde art sculptures, and stylishly dressed young men and women passing by.
Lin Jiayao took a deep breath and was about to take out his phone to contact the venue.
"Ayan, I rented a prime location right across from the school. I arranged for people to set up the materials and contacted school leaders to send messages to the students yesterday..."
Before she could finish speaking, she turned around and saw that Lin Yan and his family of three had already walked away.
"Wow! Daddy! It smells so good over there! Let's go over there!"
Nia looked like a little hamster that had fallen into a rice bin, her mouth practically watering.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Lin Yan waved his hand.
The bustling commercial street of the Communication University of China.
Nia had a giant fried squid in her left hand, two skewers of grilled starch sausage in her right, and a bucket of instant noodles stuffed in her pocket. Her face was covered in oil from all the eating.
Syl sat gracefully under the parasol, sipping her little cake.
Lin Jiayao, holding a briefcase, stood in front of the grilled cold noodles stall, looking at Lin Yan in front of him, who was holding takoyaki in her left hand and grilled gluten in her right hand, and he was completely devastated.
"Lin Yan!!"
Lin Jiayao roared in a low voice.
"We drove hundreds of kilometers on the highway, not to just sit around and do nothing! Why are we touring the campus? We're here to recruit people!"
Lin Yan took a bite of the takoyaki with a straight face, puffed out his cheeks, and argued.
"Brother Jiayao, you don't understand this, do you? If you want to recruit down-to-earth talents, you have to integrate into their lives first! This is called immersive observation of the campus ecosystem."
Lin Jiayao covered his face in despair, feeling that his cousin was just making excuses.
Finally, under Lin Jiayao's almost murderous gaze, the group arrived directly opposite the university.
Lin Jiayao spared no expense in this recruitment effort.
The rented interview space was spacious and bright, and the posters advertising high-paying jobs were very eye-catching.
"Ayan, prepare yourself for a shock."
Sitting at the interview table, Lin Jiayao's fighting spirit was rekindled, and his eyes shone with hope.
"This is the top media college in the province! Everyone coming in later will definitely be professionally trained! Our new media department's takeoff depends on today!"
Lin Yan leaned back in his chair, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Hopefully, the result will be the same as expected.
Soon, the first interviewee walked through the door.
This is an artsy guy with flowing long hair and black-rimmed glasses.
What's most eye-catching is that he was carrying a RED camera worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, exuding a strong artistic and sophisticated vibe.
Lin Jiayao's eyes lit up. This equipment, this demeanor—he's definitely a talent!
"Greetings, leaders."
The artsy guy sat down, adjusted his glasses, and his first words exuded a professional aura that seemed to come from nowhere.
"Let me first explain my artistic philosophy. I think that today's new media is too superficial. If I were to direct, I would introduce Tarkovsky-style long takes into short videos, using an emotional visual style to portray characters and evoke emotional resonance in the audience. This is called the deconstruction and reconstruction of images..."
Lin Jiayao nodded repeatedly as he listened. Although he didn't quite understand, he thought it was very sophisticated!
"Great idea, very insightful!"
Lin Jiayao handed over the phone with satisfaction.
"You make me the main character. Right now, use your phone to shoot a 15-second short video showing the domineering CEO's entrance, and let me see your practical skills."
The artsy man was stunned, staring at the phone in his hand as if he had been insulted.
"Use this thing! No tracks? No lighting arrays? No lighting accessories? How do you establish the light and shadow structure? Where is the emotional anchor for the actors?!"
Under Lin Jiayao's insistence, the artsy guy awkwardly picked up his phone and started fiddling with it in front of Lin Jiayao.
After fiddling with it for a full ten minutes, the artsy guy handed the phone back, sweating profusely.
"The conditions are too basic; we'll have to make do with what we have."
Lin Jiayao pressed play with great anticipation...
