Chapter 75 Onboarding Assessment
After finishing breakfast, Wang Xiao returned to his room on the third floor and began to read the hotel situation report that Wei Yan had submitted the day before.
This guest room is now not only Wang Xiao's residence, but also his temporary office.
There were offices on the sixth floor of the hotel, but Wang Xiao wanted to save time and didn't want to walk that far, so he stayed on the third floor for the time being.
According to Wei Yan's report, as Qin Huai'an had mentioned that morning, all supplies had been replenished to some extent, especially medical supplies, which had relieved the hotel's urgent need.
Time passed by, second by second.
Around 10 o'clock, Xue Wu and Xiong Sanzhuang returned with the disassembled generator.
After checking the time, Wang Xiao used a communicator to call over Wei Yan, Xue Wu, and Xiong Sanzhuang.
"Knock knock knock".
A knock sounded at the door, and Wang Xiao said, "Come in."
Led by Wei Yan, the three entered the room and respectfully greeted, "Boss."
Wang Xiao went straight to the point: "I already know everything, so there's no need to report it to me a second time. I called you here for something else."
Upon hearing this, the three men immediately tensed up. Wei Yan, acting as their representative, asked, "Boss, what do you want to say?"
Wang Xiao rested his chin on his hands and said, "President Qin has his eye on a grain wholesale market and plans to make a move this afternoon. He wants to invite us to join him and split the profits 50/50."
My opinion is to accept it. Isn't the security department looking to hire people?
Since there's no better time than today, let's gather them together for a simple onboarding assessment.
The reason I called you here now is to ask for your thoughts.
The three exchanged glances, and Wei Yan was the first to speak up, saying, "I have no objection."
Xue Wu nodded in agreement, saying, "I don't have any either, but if you're not here, the hotel's security..."
Wang Xiao looked at Xiong Sanzhuang and asked, "Old Xiong, is it alright if your men stay?"
Xiong Sanzhuang replied, "I will follow your arrangements, boss."
Seeing that none of the three had any objections, Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Alright, it's settled then. Take advantage of the time you still have to rest. Wei Yan, keep an eye on the hotel for me while I'm gone. If there's nothing else, you can all go now."
"Yes."
Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Wang Xiao got up and went to the window. Looking out, he muttered to himself, "They're bosses now, how can they still be so busy?"
As news of the cleanup of the grain wholesale market spread, some astute survivors immediately sensed an opportunity.
They began to gather around the task station, waiting for the hotel to issue new tasks.
However, since this operation involves personnel evaluation, there is no plan to issue a commission.
However, the survivors who were gradually getting used to living in hotels were no longer buying it.
"Sister Zhao, how could Boss Wang not include us in such a big operation? We promise we won't take anything we shouldn't; we just want to earn some points."
"Yes, Sister Zhao, Brother Yangye is right, we really just want to do our part..."
In the end, even those with special abilities came to inquire about the situation.
Even though she was a person with abilities, Zhao Yajun could only say helplessly, "I'm sorry everyone, this was an internal operation within our hotel. I was just a worker. The boss didn't give any orders in this regard, so I really couldn't do anything about it."
Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, even the experienced Zhao Yajun was at a loss for how to respond, and in the end she could only ask Wang Xiao for help through the communicator.
Wang Xiao, who was taking a nap while leaning back in his chair, received the message and, after considering it for a moment, said, "Here's what we'll do: tell them that we really can't let them participate in the main operation, but they can handle the subsequent transport work. You and Wei Yan can discuss the points and rewards."
"Okay, boss."
With Wang Xiao's help, Zhao Yajun's work became much simpler.
Although some people regret not being able to participate in this cleanup operation, for them, earning points is a good thing.
On the other side, Lao Xiao and other people who had been on Xue Wu's inspection list and were interested in joining the hotel also received messages from Xue Wu.
Huang Mao excitedly said, "Old Xiao, Brother Xue has sent word that Boss Wang has decided to conduct an onboarding assessment this afternoon. The assessment involves working with the Qin Group to clean up a grain wholesale market."
Xiao Minghai, who was just wondering how to get Wang Xiao's attention, immediately stopped wiping his knife when he heard about the hotel's big move: "Gather everyone together! This time, we must make sure the hotel notices us!"
"Yes."
Other teams naturally began recruiting as well.
The vast majority of these people participate in the hope of becoming capable individuals, while others believe that joining the hotel is currently the best option. Of course, there are also those who genuinely want to join the hotel.
But whatever their purpose, everything depends on passing this onboarding assessment first.
1 p.m.
After having dinner in the hotel cafeteria, Wang Xiao arrived at the hotel lobby with the horizontal sword he had drawn from the points prize pool.
Because prior notice had been given, the teams that decided to participate in this operation had already assembled in the lobby by 12:30.
Wang Xiao quickly counted the number of people; there were a total of twenty-nine.
There are lone wolves, and there are also small teams of several people who act together.
Wang Xiao thought this number was already quite large. Recently, Qin Huai'an had Secretary Huang take a lot of action to expand the workforce.
Having experience fighting zombie hordes, these people are certainly better than ordinary survivors in terms of their reaction to danger and their ability to deal with it.
Taking the microphone from Wei Yan, Wang Xiao began, "Everyone, I won't waste any more time on small talk. The reason I've gathered you all here is simply for the hotel's security department's onboarding assessment."
However, before explaining the specific rules, I must remind you all again.
This assessment is not as simple as you all imagine; there is a risk of death involved. If you wish to withdraw now, it's not too late.
After speaking, Wang Xiao deliberately paused for a moment.
After confirming that no one had quit, Wang Xiao continued, "I'm glad no one has quit. This proves that everyone here has their own goals."
This is a good thing, because having a goal gives us the motivation to keep living in this terrible world.
In this onboarding assessment, Captain Xue, Comrade Li Shu, and I will serve as the on-site examiners. We will provide reasonable evaluations based on your performance to determine whether you are suitable to join our Peace Hotel.
To allow everyone to fully demonstrate their abilities, there will be no restrictions in this assessment. You are welcome to showcase your strengths, such as excellent teamwork and skillful killing techniques.
Our Peace Hotel welcomes all capable individuals.
Except in special circumstances, the three of us will refrain from taking any action during this assessment to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the results.
As for the detailed judging rules, Manager Wei will explain them to everyone later.
While Wei Yan was explaining the assessment standards and specific requirements to everyone, Qin Huai'an arrived at the hotel shortly afterward with the people from the Qin Group.
Wang Xiao glanced at the number of people; there were quite a few, probably around sixty or seventy.
Wang Xiao spoke up: "President Qin."
Qin Huai'an said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it took a little longer to clean up the camp."
Wang Xiao laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just finished here too."
Qin Huai'an said, "If there are no problems, shall we set off?"
Wang Xiao nodded and gave the order to begin the operation to the eager crowd: "Everyone, the first recruitment assessment for the Peace Hotel is now starting. I, Wang Xiao, am very much looking forward to the day when we can move forward together."
Qin Huai'an was slightly taken aback after hearing Wang Xiao's words.
He had thought that Wang Xiao would recruit people to participate in the operation by entrusting them with tasks, but he did not expect that he would decide to take this opportunity to expand his manpower.
If it were any other force, he would naturally be on guard, but since the target was Wang Xiao, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter how much the Peace Hotel's influence expands, it is still a partner of the Qin Group.
In the apocalypse, having a trustworthy partner is no easy feat...
