Chapter 103 Undercurrents
Zhou Yi had spent the past two days buried in interviews at Huanyu, barely finding time to catch his breath. By the time Saturday evening rolled around, the first wave of auditions finally drew to a close.
This round left them with just over fifty candidates—a relatively modest cull compared to what they'd anticipated.
Despite the initial selection, there remained a flood of interest online from hopeful applicants. After consulting with Jiang Ruolan, Zhou Yi decided to push forward with another recruitment drive.
As Huanyu's primary focus was now investment-related ventures, most current roles revolved around financial projects. However, Zhou Yi harbored plans for something different: he wanted to assemble a team dedicated solely to developing a short-video platform.
Given that the company was still in its infancy, he saw no point in establishing a separate studio. Instead, he opted to create a new software development division within Huanyu itself.
Jiang Ruolan listened intently, her eyes widening at this novel concept.
"Short videos?" she asked, curiosity piqued.
"Yes," Zhou Yi replied confidently. "Trust me—this platform will explode onto the scene in the near future."
His unwavering certainty was enough to convince Jiang Ruolan, who simply nodded. Mr. Zhou always seemed to have an uncanny knack for spotting trends; all she needed to do was follow through on his vision.
With renewed determination, Jiang Ruolan reopened the recruitment process. This time, the number of resumes tripled compared to the previous round.
Meanwhile, she presented Zhou Yi with several promising project proposals she'd come across during her research.
