Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Technical Consultant, CTO Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Technical Consultant, CTO May 8, 2023, Monday, sunny, 12~26°C.
Linjin Building, Jinxiu Comrce, Human Resources & Administration Office.
“Yes, Chairman Ren! Tang Song has personally rejected our invitation. I’ve already raised the annual salary to the limit. I even discussed stock options, but they’re completely uninterested,” he said.
“The layoffs at that ti were decided after Director Chen and President Li discussed it. Of course, since it was just an ordinary developer, I agreed to it,” he added.
“It’s indeed my fault, I’m not well-inford about the situation of the technology departnt staff,” he admitted.
“Alright, I understand,” he confird.
Xu Lin hung up the phone, his face looking extrely unpleasant.
He had thought that the matter would have concluded with Tang Song’s repeated rejections.
At most, the person handling this would take a hit, they’d just select another CTO, and it would soon blow over.
He hadn’t expected the board to take this so seriously.
Last Friday, they ford a task force and had a eting with all the staff from the technical support departnt.
The first workday of the week, President Feng Zhongping and Chairman Ren Huining had both called her, speaking in very serious tones.
Past issues had begun to surface one after another, such as the developnt of the SCM system, Tang Song’s technical level, and the unfair treatnt he encountered.
Xu Lin licked her dry lips, her complexion sowhat pale. She had an intuition that sothing might indeed go wrong.
Smile Capital was no innocent lamb, but a real tiger. With human resources and finance as crucial departnts, there’s no way they wouldn’t consider a change in personnel.
Now, with such a good excuse, she was the first to be hit.
Tian Jing sitting in the corner stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit disappointed.
Tang Song too, coming back to the company as a CTO would have been great.
Since the holidays, the company had gone through significant changes, turning into a complete ss.
As the compensation manager, she was busy to death every day, having worked overti just yesterday, and she simply had no ti to learn guitar from Tang Song.
Nevertheless, she had specifically bought one and was waiting for when there was nobody at ho so he could co over to her place and give her so lessons on playing techniques.
Thinking about this, she bit her lip, feeling a tickle in her heart.
She shook her head, casting away those wild thoughts.
Tian Jing picked up her phone and opened WeChat.
She first sent a ssage to Tang Song, updating him on the current situation of the technical support departnt.
Then, she opened the lively chat group “Second Ti Bliss.”
Bigwig Qingqing was sharing her recent happenings.
She was providing legal aid to a clothing company, which led to harassnt and pursuit from the company’s executives, with that woman hiding behind the scenes and even taking a few pictures of them eating and drinking together.
Furious, her CEO lover outright bought shares in the clothing company, becoming the majority shareholder, and made that executive kneel and beg for rcy.
However, during this process, they also had a violent argunt…
The CEO even threatened to shut down her law firm, wanting Qingqing to obediently beco his only pet.
Seeing such a twisted and bizarre experience, Tian Jing’s eyes sparkled.
She started offering strategies and ideas in the chat.
Though she was a novice in matters of the heart, she loved getting involved in such exciting discussions.
“Knock, knock, knock—” The office door was struck.
Tian Jing quickly straightened up, ticulously staring at the Excel file on her computer.
Following this, the Chairman’s assistant walked in, saying, “Director Xu, there’s a leadership eting at 10:00 AM in the main conference room. Please make sure to attend.”
Xu Lin’s heart skipped a beat, and she promptly responded, “Alright, I’ll get ready.”
…
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—” The phone vibrated frantically.
Tang Song gestured to his colleagues and then walked out of the eting room.
He answered the call.
A sowhat familiar middle-aged male voice ca through, very enthusiastic, “Hello, Tang Song, right? Haha, this is Feng Zhongping.”
“Hello, President Feng,” Tang Song’s eyes widened a bit, his face showing surprise.
He had a very good impression of the CEO of Jinxiu Comrce.
A 40-sothing returnee with a master’s degree who had years of work experience overseas, always full of energy, a true workaholic, he was the one who enhanced the good treatnt at Jinxiu Comrce after taking office.
Excellent reputation, a very competent president.
Feng Zhongping spoke kindly, “Tang Song, about the SCM system and the issue with Chen Yunqiang, I’ve gotten a clear picture. I am very sorry that you had to suffer such unfair treatnt. The company will handle this matter, and I also want to apologize on behalf of the company.”
“Thank you, President Feng. Jinxiu Comrce is a good company, and I have always been grateful,” he truly had no complaints about Jinxiu Comrce.
Human-oriented managent, stable work, good salary.
“That’s good. I am actually calling to invite you to be a part-ti CTO and technical consultant for the company. Your salary will be based on that of a full-ti employee,” Feng Zhongping paused, allowing Tang Song to digest his words, then continued, “Chen Yunqiang has violated the company rules and is currently undergoing the resignation process. We will be recruiting a new director for the technical support division, and all you need to do is oversee the big picture.”
Tang Song was stunned for a mont. Another part-ti job?
But this so-called technical consultant was clearly just a nominal position, especially since there was a specific director responsible for the business.
Such generous terms, such outrageous conditions, these had to be the result of Smile Capital flexing its muscles, forcing the board to compromise.
It might even have been suggested by Secretary Jin.
After thinking it over, Tang Song said, “All right, President Feng, I agree to serve as the company’s technical consultant.”
Now that Smile Capital was a shareholder of the company, it was sowhat his own business too, and taking a little advantage didn’t hurt.
Feng Zhongping didn’t seem surprised by this, speaking in a gentle voice, “Then let’s leave it at that for now. Co by the company to sign the contract when you have ti.
We have already entrusted DJRH to recruit for the new director position.
Your corporate email has been reactivated, and information about the candidates will be sent there. You’re welco to provide feedback at any ti,” he added.
“Alright, thank you, President Feng, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
After hanging up, Tang Song shook his head, chuckled, and turned back to the eting room, “Let’s continue our eting.”
Gao ngting flipped to the next slide and said, “Host assistant He Liting, 23 years old, with two years of work experience, has a good figure and looks, occasionally appears on cara as the co-host, has quick responses, and is skilled at managing the atmosphere of the live broadcast…”
After introducing the last candidate, Gao ngting said, “These six mbers make up the entire won’s wear departnt at Changyun dia. Knowledgeable has already reached an agreent with them, and they are all confird to join our team.”
Tang Song looked at the team list and smiled, “They all look great. With such an experienced sales team, our live broadcasts should be on the right track soon.”
Gao ngting expressed so concern, “The only issue now is their resignation timing. Apart from Liu Renjie who has already resigned from operations, the others might be held back by Changyun dia.
Snatching an entire team will undoubtedly irritate company leaders; they might delay releasing them for a month.
“It’s okay, trust in Knowledgeable!” Tang Song said confidently. “They said they can have the recruitnt completed this week, so there won’t be any issues.”
Seeing Tang Song’s confident deanor, Gao ngting also breathed a sigh of relief. She had complete trust in her partner.
…
Jinxiu Comrce.
After the senior eting, three notifications appeared in the employees’ corporate email.
Xu Lin, the forr HR director, has been reassigned as the head of Human Resources Planning and Developnt Departnt. The new director will join tomorrow.
Chen Yunqiang, the forr Director of Technical Support, has resigned. The new manager of the Technical Support Division will start next week.
Tang Song is formally appointed as the company’s technical consultant and assus the role of CTO, fully responsible for the company’s technical team.
Human Resources & Administration Office.
Xu Lin sat at her desk, dispirited, feeling like a pawn in a ga of corporate politics, caught in an unexpected disaster.
Liu Huihui’s eyes sparkled as she hurriedly sent a WeChat ssage to Tang Song, congratulating him on his promotion and appointnt as CTO.
Tian Jing held back from laughing out loud, her mind already running wild with thoughts.
Technical Support Departnt area.
Du Shaokai felt uneasy, as if he was having a terrible day, unable to believe how things had turned out.
At this point, he could only resign or change positions.
Staying in the Technical Support Departnt, he might unexpectedly receive a new assignnt tomorrow—to independently develop sothing like Taobao.
Now that Jinxiu Comrce was about to take off, many shareholders and executives wanted to place their people inside, and with the wealthy beauty Tian Jing waiting for him to pursue her, resigning was really hard to accept.
The only option left was to change positions. His uncle was the Vice President in charge of channel business, a position one level higher than Tang Song’s part-ti CTO. If he transferred to the Channel Business Departnt, his uncle surely wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
Hu Mingli was flushed and trembling with excitent, as if at a peak of emotion.
She imdiately raised her phone, captured her colleagues’ reactions, and shared them with Tang Song: “President Tang, as your absolute confidant, I’ll help you supervise the whole team. And don’t worry about Wen Ruan; I’ll share any intel with you imdiately.”
After sending the ssage, she also took a screenshot of the email and shared it in her best friends’ group.She comnted: “@Zhuangzhuang, Tang Song is amazing! Now he’s our company’s CTO, my big boss, with a starting salary of 500,000 a year.”
Although she knew Tang Song was wealthy, driving a 400,000 BMW and running his own business, it was nothing compared to being a 25-year-old corporate executive.
With Jinxiu Comrce being a leader in Yan City’s fashion industry, and with the involvent of Smile Capital, Tang Song’s future was boundless.
[Zhang Ziqi: “A 25-year-old CTO, from a wealthy family, tall and handso, this is already the peak for ordinary people, @Zhuangzhuang, you really hit the jackpot, I’m so jealous.”]
[Zhang Ziqi: “If you get rich, don’t forget us; our futures depend on you covering for us.”]
Hu Mingli gritted her teeth and replied, “Zhuangzhuang, you better not forget, I introduced him to you! You guys owe !”
As she approached 28, the ideal age for marriage and childbearing, she was just a lowly technical staffer, making finding future jobs particularly difficult.
Without the skills or connections to switch to managent, she was always anxious.
Her friends, Wen Ruan and Zhang Ziqi, who were about the sa age, shared this anxiety.
Now that hope was in sight, how could she not be excited.
“Ding-dong—”
[Wen Ruan: “I’m going ho to change clothes.”]
