Chapter 63
Chapter 64:
At the conference on Thursday, inevitably, the proposal of the R&D department to join the mega team model was once again put on the agenda.
The number of people attending the meeting today is still spectacular, because everyone needs to keep a distance of one metre during the meeting, and large meetings are forbidden. We have divided several meeting rooms for online meetings. The core staff occupies the largest room. Vacancy and depression.
This is the battlefield between me and Kevin. It is a pity that he is doomed to victory, and I am just a defeated hero with my broken leg.
Like the previous discussion about the ownership of the R&D department, the big boss, COO, CTO, and Miss Pan De all attended this meeting; Chief Liang was still not there. Which way the department will take in the future seems indifferent.
CTO attends through video conference. His picture is placed on the left hand side of the big boss, which makes people feel a little out of place. With so many people attending the conference, he wanted to exist as a computer and participate in it, but it was too difficult.
If the person speaking later is at the end of the left, wouldn’t he be able to neither see the person nor hear the sound? I immediately thought of Jocelyn, who was closest to the computer, holding the notebook and spinning around with the speaker, almost unable to hold it back, it was too dangerous.
Old yellow eyebrows moved. There were so many people, I couldn’t help leaning over and biting my ears with him, so I typed. A few seconds later, Huang Xiuwen laughed out loud, endured too hard, and coughed for a few seconds, causing everyone to look at him frequently.
BCG’s attitude today is much more determined than before. In the first half, I was basically in a power-saving state, and I did not speak, so of course Kevin would not have the possibility of a big show. He might really feel lonely, so he took the initiative to pull me off the court: “Yao, on this issue, will your thoughts change this week?”
If the air can freeze, what is spreading in the large conference room is the sound of freezing.
“I’ll talk when it’s my turn,” I looked at him, the aggressiveness in his eyes must be obvious, “You can look forward to it.”
Because Kevin gave too much feedback.
The boss rubbed his temples with his forehead. Xu Xin coughed twice, and continued the process after saying sorry.
Miss Pande’s eyes collided with me many times in the first half. She should really change her career to become a politician or an actor. What happened yesterday was like a pebble thrown into the ocean, and there was no wave left behind. It seems that being a superior is also about talent. Some people’s precise control of the measure is so perfect as to be natural.
Of course, it is limited to when so many people are present.
Strangely, her eyes have no exact meaning. Since there was a clear request in advance, at the beginning, I thought she was reminding me to do something as soon as possible.
but no. Nothing at all. There is neither blame nor urge in her eyes, it seems that only calmness and restraint are gathering together, and she is focused and free from beginning to end. I am willing to believe this illusion. After all, she is my half-boss, the target of my work, and the enemy I bite hard by fighting wits and courage. How can she not be strong? Supposing her ability is limited, wouldn’t it be that I seem to be in a state of retreat in a panic?
But if Miss Pande is really focused, our countless eyes will come again for no reason. I, like her, are just bystanders in this half of the meeting.
The situation has changed invisibly. Xu Xin called my name and the meeting entered the second half.
My presentation files always pursue pragmatism. If it were not for a meeting with BCG, I am afraid I would rarely have the opportunity to write such expensive slides that are visible to the naked eye today. This is a compromise. It doesn’t talk about anything from a macro perspective. It only defines the scope in the small world of the departments involved in the optimization framework. Although it is not clear at the beginning, everyone knows who it is aimed at.
I know it is unlikely that this plan will be passed. That day, Miss Pan De’s words were so clear that BCG should be fully aware of which departments to stay and which departments to leave. But I promised her this matter, and I will explain my thoughts on the personnel structure of the new company to her in writing someday.
If things are irreversible, I don’t want to drag down the subsidiary just to vent my anger.
The whole storytelling process was smooth, no one interrupted me or asked questions. Compared with the free and easy thoughts that I had mentioned in previous meetings with Miss Pan De, the plan officially proposed today is much more modest and realistic. The BCG side is the one who listens most attentively. On our side, the senior management is more interested, especially the big boss. I feel that he will be arrested and asked in detail after the meeting.
In the questioning session, Kevin picked a few thorns in a row, but it didn’t matter. I should let him, I know, at this time I should let him. But in the face of all the proposals in this plan, he was completely unprepared beforehand. I have been planning for a long time. How can I allow someone to easily trample on the fruits of my labor?
In the former small southwestern country, facing the envoys of the Han Dynasty, they made the eternal joke of “Which one is bigger than me”. This is recorded in the “Records of the Historian”, and it is not a solitary evidence, which can be trusted.
Today I feel that it resonates with the ancients of Yelang.
Miss Pan De personally rejected my plan.
“Yao’s proposal is practical and constructive.” She was the last one to speak, and she said it was the heaviest. “There are many points in this plan that are worth digging deeper, and they will bring a lot to our resource integration work. For your help. Thank you, Yao, I will make sure that our team thoroughly researches the key points.
“On the other hand, some of Kevin’s questions are what I am also concerned about. I feel that there is indeed such a possibility that, from some perspectives, your understanding of the giant team model is still… you need to dig deeper. Maybe. Some are less relevant to objectivity,” she deliberately used very complicated words, “experience prevents your understanding. For future work, I hope you can continue to work hard.”
The final word.
She didn’t even leave me an extra look, it was Kevin’s turn.
I didn’t think they would refuse. When this plan was drafted, I was ready to be rejected. I just wanted to…I did my best.
I didn’t expect that they would reject me on the spot, and I didn’t expect that it would be Miss Pan De who rejected me on behalf of BCG.
The general situation was gone, and my attention was drawn away from the observation of the expressions of the participants, and I pondered the wording of the suggestions later. There is no point in breaking the jar here, and it is not dignified. With this time, I might as well try to gain more strategic depth for the company.
Kevin wanted to be noisy, of course, changing places, I also want to be prestigious. Today, the partner of BCG personally endorsed him. I will not go to **** to cheer him up. Who should go to hell? However, Zhang Liang was able to endure teasing and wear shoes for people in the early Han Dynasty. Han Xin was once humiliated by his hips. Xiao He dispelled Han Gaozu’s suspicion and even self-defeating. How can ordinary people understand such dormancy? I want to cooperate with him in quarreling, but insult myself.
The big boss also gave up very thoroughly. I think he lacks interest in this new change, but he didn’t stop him.
What is blocking is worse than sparse, taking advantage of the trend, I only understand today. I thought he was negative, but I didn’t know that the big boss had already seen the situation clearly, and the winning side was so small that only by taking advantage of the trend can there be a ray of life.
No one in the company knows the intentions of the group better than the big boss.
Two managers in the R&D department stood up and were struggling as if they had finally caught up with the rhythm. I can’t bear to see, as a technical colleague, these things are a bit slower, which is normal. The ruler has some shortcomings, and the inch has some strengths. It is very important to know how to hide.
Suppose they realize that the probability of the seriousness of the problem is average over time, then they may say that they are too far behind to draw such a bad time period… I suddenly understood Liang Heng’s avoidance, and I looked at my colleagues in the R&D department. Everyone feels the grief of the rabbit and the fox. After changing his position, he feels weak, is it so angry that he vomits blood?
I don’t know how the CTO who only exists in the computer feels at this moment.
The meeting was about to end, and I took out the second-hand preparations I had made earlier. These suggestions are all considered from the standpoint of BCG or the group. Generally speaking, I have inherited the ideas in my plan, but the details are very different. I want stability and accuracy. I just don’t talk about the current situation. Whatever changes have been made, at most it can be regarded as planting a few blind nails.
They were very interested, and one of the proposals on inter-departmental training aroused heated discussions, and even Miss Pan De praised it. She rarely expressed her opinion on our specific work, and today should be regarded as the most frequent one. I was surprised: Is she trying to save me some face? Maybe it’s just a casual mention?
In the second half, she still looked at me often, but the aim was more concealed and the time was shorter; I did not respond to her, maybe she thought she hadn’t been spotted.
Suddenly, my inspiration flashed: Does she think I am angry again?
I glanced at her, Miss Pan De just looked over, her expression stagnated for a moment, and her eyes flowed to Kevin who was speaking.
Today’s meeting was really useless. Lao Huang said nothing in my advance notice, the boss watched the fire from the other side, and the children admired the one hundred postures of me being grilled on skewers by Miss Pan De. Every manager at the manager level frowned, I’m afraid they have already felt a little bit of chill.
The situation is irreversible, and the giant team model has officially changed to “nothing” starting today. Unlike my downturn, Kevin shined in the meeting, and his personal show lasted until the end of the agenda.
And when the crowd is scattered, I know it.
The company’s journey is poor.
