“I call this program QZD¹, which is 4.5 times faster than the existing system.”
“It has an extremely fast smart distribution mode and a fully intelligent information management network, which ensures the accuracy of cargo transportation and enables containers to be loaded immediately.”
“It will dynamically adjust the system load according to the actual business volume of the terminal, realize the optimal allocation of system resource consumption, and create a ‘wireless’ integrated intelligent control system…”
Zhuang Yanyu, as the keynote speaker of the project, stood on the stage presenting on all the upgrades and optimizations of the new system and the differences it had with the old system.
Looking around, the people sitting in the conference room at this moment were all small employees who would never see the higher-ups on normal days.
They didn’t know if it’s because the high-level executives had their own auras. Under the scrutiny of a group of big bosses, as Zhuang Yanyu’s temporary assistant, Director Xu, he couldn’t help but secretly wipe some sweat from time to time.
Because even he had never met so many leaders at once.
To put it nicely, the supervisor could be regarded as a small leader, but he was only half bucket of water. The salary was not much higher than that of the employees, but his work was busier than everyone else.
Director Xu didn’t want to come, but he was worried that Zhuang Yanyu, a young man, would have to face so many leaders at once, what if he showed timidity?
Then ask other experienced engineers to help explain?
How could he do that!
This was Xiao Zhuang’s own system, how could others take credit for it?
So Director Xu gritted his teeth and followed.
The original intention was to give Zhuang Yanyu courage. Who would know that after the meeting started, Zhuang Yanyu treated the leaders below like they were all transparent people, and started his explanation in a straightforward manner. From the performance of the new system to the cost, there was no pauses or missteps in the middle.
He was able to answer questions fluently when the senior officials asked questions in the middle, and his posture was actually more like a presenter than the senior presenters.
Director Xu didn’t notice that Wen Chenxi, who was sitting at the very end of the conference table and also in the middle, was looking at the speaker with impunity.
Or in other words, on this types of occasions, few people could look directly at Wen Chenxi.
Therefore, no one could know that their aloof chief executive was not focused on the new system program at the moment, but was staring at Zhuang Yanyu’s every move in detail.
The young man’s appearance was really outstanding. As soon as he entered the conference room, he became the most eye-catching one in the conference room.
Coupled with his too young age, it was hard to believe that such an excellent system program was written by him.
In reality, this was really the case. Before the meeting started, many people were in doubt, Zhuang Yanyu was not a top student who graduated from a TOP¹ school and was so young, what good things could he make?
Maybe it’s just a liar who was very good at drawing big pies. They didn’t want to waste time for a liar.
But now, looking at those specific data, those who had doubted whether Zhuang Yanyu was a liar before couldn’t help but get excited.
A senior executive asked: “Can you be sure that in the actual project, it could fully meet the existing expectations, and not just use these simulation data to tell us the possiblity of such a concept?”
Zhuang Yanyu: “After the project structure is completed, it will only be faster than the existing simulation data, and the reason why the simulation is simulation is precisely because there is no specific equipment to support it.”
The executive said: “Simulation can also be interpreted as that the existing technology cannot achieve this effect, so only we can rely on simulation.”
Zhuang Yanyu: “The reason why the existing technology can’t reach it is because the idea proposed is far beyond the existing basic equipment, and all my programs are completed using the existing technical equipment, so there should be no such problem.”
The executive finally smiled: “If that’s the case, you are very good.”
Zhuang Yanyu remained expressionless, showing no excitement at all because of the appreciation of the executive: “Thank you.”
Zhuang Yanyu’s tone of voice was flat and straightforward, a bit like the mechanical voice of a robot without emotional ups and downs, but his voice was very nice, so even if it was too mechanical, people could still clearly record every word he said.
The executives turned to Wen Chenxi: “Mr. Wen, I support promoting this project.”
Wen Chenxi’s eyes were still on Zhuang Yanyu, his eyes under his rimless glasses were deep and full of amusement.
He found that Xiao Yu seemed to quite a number of expressions, he was close and enthusiastic in front of him; occasionally, when he did not finish something on time and his obsessive-compulsive disorder was triggered, he would look sleepy and downcast, which made people feel unbelievably cute.
But now he had the kind of self-confidence that he didn’t usually show on his face. He seemed to have absolute confidence in the program he made. He was confident that no one would not accept this system, because he believed that what he did was the best in the world.
As if he had noticed Wen Chenxi’s gaze, Zhuang Yanyu, who was expressionless, met Wen Chenxi’s gaze. The two gazes met through the air. Zhuang Yanyu, who was expressionless, suddenly had a little light in his eyes, the special treatment exclusively for Wen Chenxi.
Wen Chenxi raised his lips and smiled silently.
Seeing his good brother smiling, Zhuang Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the meeting, the brother was suddenly in a bad mood. Before Zhuang Yanyu could think of a way to comfort him, he had to get ready for the meeting.
He was still thinking about asking Wen Chenxi why he was in a bad mood later. Now that he saw the other party smiling, he should be in a better mood.
Sure enough, the scientific data that showed that 99.9% of human beings like money was true.
So, it’s the project that will make his good brother a lot of money, thereby improving his mood?
An executive close to Wen Chenxi saw this smile from the corner of his eye, and immediately understood that Mr. Wen also liked this project very much, and he would have to vote for it later.
“I’m done, thank you.”
After finishing all the content, Zhuang Yanyu put down the remote control that pressed the PPT¹.
Just as Director Xu had suspected, Zhuang Yanyu’s eyes automatically blocked all the leaders in the meeting room, leaving only the person sitting in the middle.
In his eyes, there was only Wen Chenxi’s figure.
Director Xu immediately went up to pack Zhuang Yanyu’s things.
Zhuang Yanyu was still standing there without sitting down, waiting for others to ask questions.
However, he just explained everything in great detail. Even people who were completely ignorant of this project already know his value clearly, so naturally there was nothing to ask.
Sure enough, the result of the meeting was unanimous approval.
Zhuang Yanyu had also became the person in charge of this system engineering, but he was only in charge of system engineering, and the general person in charge of the entire project was still under discussion.
Everyone knew that this was a big project. Once it was completed, not to mention that the company could make a lot of money, the promotion and salary increase of the general manager was guaranteed.
But this project was not so easy to handle, because it also involved cooperation with local government construction and various terminal groups. If the general manager was not qualified or capable, it was easy to bring the project down, which depended on the project team.
When the meeting was over, everyone got up and left.
Director Xu led Zhuang Yanyu to leave as well, patting his heart as he walked, and said, “It really scared me to death, the last time I saw so many leaders at one go was at the year-end party… But Xiao Zhuang, you performed so well, don’t worry! When this project is over, maybe you can climb even higher than me already!”
Zhuang Yanyu didn’t have any desire to climb higher than Director Xu, he looked at the leaving crowd, but he didn’t see Wen Chenxi.
Zhuang Yanyu had no choice but to look away, and obediently followed Director Xu to leave.
This was a conference room on the 31st floor, and it was also a special conference room for important meetings. It was not good for them to stay here for too long.
“Zhuang Yanyu, you stay.”
Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind.
It was Wen Chenxi who stopped him.
Everyone stopped and simultaneously looked at Zhuang Yanyu.
Mr. Wen actually called this young engineer to leave behind himself!
Director Xu was taken aback for a moment, then his hands were shaking with excitement, and he quickly pushed Zhuang Yanyu.
This was Boss Wen!
What did this mean? It showed that Mr. Wen had taken a fancy to Xiao Zhuang’s ability!
Director Xu thought that he, had finally found a better owner for Maxima, and was very happy.
Under everyone’s gaze, Zhuang Yanyu said, “Oh, okay.”
Everyone glanced at Zhuang Yanyu again, and thought that this young man was really amazing, even though he was personally appreciated by the big boss, he was still calm.
Director Xu: “Then I’ll go first.”
Director Xu pushed the people out of the conference room, because they were slow and loitering behind, so the conference room was now empty.
Manager Xu also thoughtfully closed the door.
Once the door was closed, all the sounds outside were cut off.
Wen Shen said with a smile: “You performed well just now.”
Zhuang Yanyu was praised by his good brother, his eyes brightened, and he was in a good mood: “It was no really a good performance, I just explained the process and results of the program system in a matter-of-fact manner.”
Wen Chenxi poured him a glass of water, handed it over, and said, “After the project starts, there may be a business trip, do you mind?”
“Business trip?” Zhuang Yanyu frowned, this trip was outside his plan.
But if he thought about it carefully, once the project started construction, he had to pay attention to the construction of the base station server. Otherwise, if the basic equipment was not done properly, the final effect of the program would not be achieved.
But if he was on a business trip, he wouldn’t be able to commute and eat with his brother, or go fishing at a farmhouse and chat about life together.
Zhuang Yanyu’s expression visibly turned weary.
Seeing this, Wen Chenxi asked, “You don’t want to go on a business trip?”
Zhuang Yanyu pursed his lips and glanced at him.
Being honest with his good brother, it’s not good to lie, but he himself said he wanted to make money for his brother, and that it’s even worse to go back on his word.
Zhuang Yanyu said wearily: “I will go.”
Even if he didn’t want to go.
Having known each other for such a long time, Wen Chenxi more or less understood Xiao Yu’s thoughts.
The smile flashed across his eyes, and he said, “En, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Seeing that his brother was not reluctant to part with him at all, Zhuang Yanyu pursed his lips even tighter.
Sure enough, he(ZYY) was not his(WCX) best brother.
In less than a week, the overall person in charge of the project was quickly determined.
The first thing that was confirmed was a business trip.
They were going to the Seaport Group in City H to discuss the project.
Before leaving, Zhuang Yanyu sent a message to Wen Chenxi: [I’m leaving. ]
[Wen Chenxi: En, be careful on the road. 】
【Zhuang Yanyu: I’ll be back after the project is finished. ]
[Wen Chenxi: En. ]
[Zhuang Yanyu: Can I send you messages every day? ]
[Wen Chenxi: Yes. ]
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhuang Yanyu finally regained some energy, and did not forget to tell Lao Zhuang that he was going on a business trip.
The company arranged for a car to go to the airport. Zhuang Yanyu got off the elevator with the packed luggage, and the driver was already waiting.
“Is it Mr. Zhuang? The car is here.”
“Okay.”
Following an assistant to a car, Zhuang Yanyu, who was in a bad mood, lost the mood to analyze the surrounding data for the first time, so he didn’t notice that this car was a little familiar.
Zhuang Yanyu was taken aback when the car door opened, revealing a pair of long legs that had no place to rest inside.
Wen Chenxi smiled: “You don’t need to send messages every day. If you have anything to say, you can tell me face to face.”
Zhuang Yanyu came back to his senses, and immediately got into the car, his face was a little rosier than usual because of the surprise: ” Are you the chief person in charge?”
Wen Chenxi: “No, but the planning of urban construction in City H may require meeting with the leaders above.”
Zhuang Yanyu understood the ‘leaders above’, no wonder he was asked to come in person!
Zhuang Yanyu suddenly smiled, his eyes seemed to be dyed with rainbows, it was incredibly bright.
Wen Chenxi: “So happy?”
Zhuang Yanyu: “En!”
Was going on a business trip with one’s good brother the same as going on a business trip by oneself? !
Wen Chenxi said nonchalantly: “But because I made a temporary decision, I didn’t have time to book a hotel. I might live with you this time. Do you mind?” Zhuang Yanyu said without thinking: “I don’t mind.”
He paused for a second, with unconcealable comfort in his tone: “I’m very happy.”
The candle-lit night chat between the upper and lower bunk brothers from the student days could finally come true!
