Chapter 68 A Mysterious Man
Seeing the two entering the office, Guo Yue waved his hand. After they sat down, this CEO smiled and asked, “Did you receive my email?”
“Yes!” In front of the CEO, they certainly must not say that they missed something in work; thus the two quickly said yes.
“Well!” Guo Yue sighed, “It’s not easy to run a startup, so we have to do things fast and swift. I just discussed it with Yang Laode and Zhou Yuan before I made the decision.”After saying that, Guo Yue looked at Yang Laode, who returned a smile and nodded, then Guo Yue continued, “I didn’t ask for your opinions. You guys won’t mind it, will you?”
“Of course not!” The two of them immediately smiled according to the convention. The CEO was also a bit too polite. Anyway, after Zhou Yuan got promoted, he should still report his work to Yang Laode, and he was at the same level as Liu Shuai, and colleagues do not need to ask for agreement from those in the small level. However, since Guo Yue asked that, the two learned that it should be a provisional decision, that the CEO had no preparation in advance. Otherwise, if Zhou Yuan were to be the person in charge of the project team, no matter what, the CEO should have asked Hao Ning and the others’ opinions to help Zhou Yuan to cooperate with them well in the future and pave the way for the “new official.” It seems that the promotion was made after Zhou Yuan and Yang Laode entered the conference room and then the CEO’s office together. What on earth happened?
While the two of them still had doubts, Guo Yue continued smiling and said, “Laode is right, there are no obstacles to your cooperation.”
Hearing the CEO mentioning him, Yang Laode laughed and said, “They are close in work and private life. So if Zhou Yuan becomes the person in charge of design, they should be able to work together very well.”
“Speaking of that, there aren’t many designers as talented as Zhou Yuan who have professional skills, ideas and social skills.” Guo Yue looked at Yang Laode, who nodded in agreement. Although Liu Shuai and Hao Ning were confused, they could not show any disagreement on their faces, so they continued to listen to Guo Yue.”Laode, in the future you should recruit more outstanding colleagues like Zhou Yuan! Little Yuan, do your job well! ”
“Brother Yue, don’t worry, I will do my job well,” Zhou Yuan said with a smile, and he looked relaxed, “But there are a lot of outstanding colleagues in our company. I am just one of them. However, as long as Brother Yue and Director trust me, I will work hard and learn from you all. ”
Liu Shuai opened his eyes wide. Everyone always called Guo Yue the Boss, and Zhou Yuan never dared to speak to him before. Why did he call them Brother Yue now?
“Zhou Yuan, what do you mean by that?” Yang Laode laughed and patted Zhou Yuan’s shoulder, “Don’t call me director. We are all colleagues. Just call me Laode. You don’t need to be modest. I am sure you are more than qualified to be the person in charge of design! ”
Seeing that the matter was clear, Guo Yue said he still had some issues to deal with, so they all left the office.
Yang Laode quickly found other departments to communicate, thus leaving behind only Zhou Yuan, Liu Shuai, and Hao Ning. Hao Ning was the most anxious one. He could not wait to ask, whereas Zhou Yuan smiled and interrupted him, “I know you have questions,” then he looked at Liu Shuai, “You also have the same question, right?”
Liu Shuai nodded.
Zhou Yuan laughed, “No rush, It takes a while to explain it clearly. How about we have dinner together? It’s on me so that we can have a nice chat? ”
“What!” Liu Shuai laughed and punched Zhou Yuan, “You want to buy us dinner? There’s no need for that. We should treat you to celebrate your promotion.”
“Don’t say that,” Zhou Yuan waved his hands, “I have to thank all of you for that. Now that the appointment mail has just been sent, people are paying attention to us. It’s not good for us to stand here and chat, why don’t we busy ourselves with the work first, then we can talk about it after work?”
At this moment, things happened at an internet company in another city.
“How could this be?” Sitting in the office was a man of about 40 years of age. He was slovenly in dress, wearing an ordinary sweater and jeans, and was looking at a computer screen. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his face changed drastically. Then he sent out a voice message on the phone. Not in a while, a young man came in.
“Mr. Zhang, did you call me in?”The young man asked.
“Yes. Is there anything abnormal about the background data recently?” The man’s face was emotionless as if nothing had happened.
“Background data?” The young man thought for a while and said, “There are no abnormalities recently. The new features in our products are used by more than 100 million people every day. It’s the same as your previous prediction, and it’s getting better and better.”
“Don’t just focus on the data, “The man waved his hand, interrupting the young man. “I’ve said it many times before. Data is too cold. What we should read are the users of a real person.”
The young man nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Seeing the young man nodding, the man smiled approvingly and continued, “Also, we need to find a way to prevent the new feature’s data from increasing too quickly.”
“Why?” When the young man heard this, he asked in perplexity.”The other companies are trying to get their numbers up faster and faster, even if they have to fake it. Actually, we know which companies are faking their data, but our product is already the most used, and our data truly practically increasing rapidly, so why do you …”
“Heh heh, you didn’t understand the essence of my words. People so obsessed with it…” The man did not reprimand the young man. He wanted to say something more, but he held back. “Sometimes, slow is fast.”
The young man nodded thoughtfully, although he didn’t yet quite understand the man’s words, “Is there anything else I can do for you?”
The man did not speak. His eyes closed as if he was thinking about something. At the same time, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
The young man knew that Mr. Zhang was always too tired. He dealt with many things every day for this product with nearly one billion users. Although he often worked with his colleagues, sometimes he was so tired that he would quietly go back to his office to have a little rest.
Seeing that Mr. Zhang did not speak, the young man decided to sneak out without disturbing him.
Just as his hand was about to reach for the door handle, Mr. Zhang seemed to have felt his movements. He said as his eyes closed,
“Please help me make some arrangements. I’m going to S City soon.”
“Oh, okay.” The young man hesitated for a moment, then said joyfully, “Are you looking for Director Lu Huateng? This is great. You can finally make it to the group’s weekly meeting. This week, I won’t be accused by others for that.”
“Hahaha,” When the man heard the young man’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Xiao Ying, it’s my fault. I have this lousy habit, and indeed, I may not be able to wake up in time for the weekly meeting. Director Lu has warned me several times in vain, so the secretariat blamed you? Sorry for the trouble.”
“That’s not a problem. The main reason is that we are in this city, and the weekly meeting is in S city, so it would be quite troublesome for you to travel back and forth, “The young man quickly said, “But then again, your habitual working hours aren’t good for your health.”
“It’s fine, “Mr.Zhang waved his hands, “I’m not just going to meet Director Lu. Let’s go to a place first. I’ll send you the address later.”
“All right.” The young man nodded and walked out.
The man looked at the closed door and said to himself, “It’s better to … see what’s going on.”
