Chapter 38: A Show of Force

Wu Yun assumed that she was an administrator and didn't know anything about computers, so he deliberately made things difficult for her.

Qiao Xing had barely stepped into the sales department when she immediately gave him a hard time.

Qiao Xing smiled slightly, "I understand. If I fix it myself, Mr. Wu won't accuse me of vandalizing public property again, will he?"

Wu Yun sneered, "If you can fix it, then it doesn't count. If you can't fix it, then you're damaging public property."

Qiao Xing nodded and turned back to fix the computer.

Her calm demeanor made Wu Yun wonder, could this pretty face actually know how to use a computer?

What Wu Yun didn't know was that when Qiao Xing first came to Weisheng for an interview, she applied for the engineering department. However, the company valued her appearance and didn't even conduct an assessment, so they insisted on sending her to the administration department.

To Wu Yun's astonishment, Qiao Xing moved over the broken computer from the back, skillfully removed the graphics card, and installed it on her computer.

After replacing the graphics card, the picture quality improved significantly.

Wu Yun suddenly realized he had been careless; this woman actually knew how to fix computers!

After Qiao Xing finished fixing the computer, he asked Wu Yun, "Mr. Wu, what should I do next?"

Wu Yun was already holding a grudge, and Qiao Xing fixing the computer made that grudge even worse.

She grabbed a stack of documents from some table and threw them at Qiao Xing, saying, "The company is preparing to launch a project. You need to write a complete product report based on this information."

"OK."

"Don't agree so readily. I'll give you a week. And if the product report can't be written, or if it's wrong, you should know what kind of losses it will cause the company, right?"

Qiao Xing picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them. Of course, Qiao Xing knew that an incorrect survey data would cause the project's development direction to deviate from market demand, resulting in an unpopular product or even failure to be successfully launched, thus causing huge economic losses to the company.

Qiao Xing glanced at the information, then nodded in agreement, "Understood."

Wu Yun stared at her calm face, feeling as if he had punched cotton. She turned and left angrily.

The sales department is not just about sales; it also includes operations. Their company does not only make software and hardware, but also develops games.

In its early stages, Weisheng made its fortune in the gaming industry, while software and hardware development are new businesses that it has added in the last two years.

So the main task of sales before was actually operations. After these two new businesses were added, they were simply handed over to Wu Yun and merged together.

The job Wu Yun gave her was in operations.

Wu Yun is ruthless. Qiao Xing hadn't even settled in yet, and she wasn't familiar with the company's products or business, and he gave her such a heavy task.

If she makes any mistake, it won't just be a simple matter of being fired; if the company suffers significant losses, she may even face compensation claims.

Although there is still an approval process, if Wu Yun is determined to mess with her, Qiao Xing will be finished.

Qiao Xing took a deep breath. It seemed that Zhang Xue was right. This Wu Yun was not only trying to get her to leave Weisheng, but he really wanted to ruin her.

She calmed herself down, opened the documents Wu Yun had given her, and read them carefully.

She then looked around and saw that there were still seven or eight people in the office. She picked up the documents and went to a female colleague.

"Hello, colleague, excuse me," Qiao Xing greeted her.

The female colleague was chatting with someone on her computer when she heard Qiao Xing's voice and was startled. She immediately closed WeChat, turned to look at Qiao Xing, and said, "Oh my god, you scared me to death! What did you just say?"

"Excuse me, I'm new here, my name is Qiao Xing. Mr. Wu gave me some information, and I have a few questions I'd like to ask. Is that convenient?"

As Qiao Xing spoke, he glanced at the other person's employee badge—Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang looked her up and down, then glanced at the document in her hand. "What's the problem?"

"Have you looked into the project information I have here?"

Lin Shuang took it and looked at it. "Oh, I've heard of this. The company wants to make a single-player simulation game. Several previous proposals were rejected, so they need to rewrite one."

"Isn't this task handled by Xiao Zhao? How did it end up with you?"

"It was given to me by General Manager Wu," Qiao Xing said with a smile.

Lin Shuang said "Oh," and then asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Regarding the previous proposals, as well as the risk assessment and market research in this document, especially the market research part, is the data accurate?"

Lin Shuangren was quite nice; she patiently answered most of the questions Qiao Xing asked.

But in the end, Lin Shuang took several documents from her desk and said, "I don't know about the survey data. If you're not comfortable with it, you can do the survey yourself. Since you're already doing this, why don't you do this survey for me too?"

"..."

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself that she should have known better than to ask her.

"I just arrived, I'm not ready yet..."

Before Qiao Xing could refuse, Lin Shuang's phone rang, and she quickly raised her hand to interrupt Qiao Xing.

"Hey, sweetie, it's evening? I should be free tonight, can you come pick me up?"

As Lin Shuang spoke, she placed the document directly into Qiao Xing's hand and waved her hand, signaling her to leave quickly.

Qiao Xing sighed, picked up the documents, and left.

Lin Shuang's project is an online mobile game, which is not the same research direction as her single-player game. Qiao Xing glanced at it twice and then tossed it aside.

If this isn't done well, she'll be held responsible, and she wouldn't dare agree to that so easily.

Qiao Xing had no prior experience in operations, and even after thoroughly reviewing the materials, she still didn't know where to begin.

When it was time to leave work, she packed up the materials, intending to take them home and study them at her leisure.

She arrived at Qin Ce's company building and sent him a message: "I'm downstairs at your company. I'll wait for you at the usual spot."

After waiting for about ten minutes, Qin Ce came downstairs. He was wearing a white shirt with a jacket draped over his arm. He strode towards Qiao Xing with his long legs.

The setting sun shone on him, bathing him in a glow, making him look like a figure who had stepped out of an oil painting.

Qiao Xing was somewhat lost in thought when Qin Ce walked in, and then she suddenly remembered Zhang Xue's words.

Could Qin Ce really have a problem with his sexual orientation?

"What's this?" Qin Ce glanced at the things on the back of the electric scooter, which were taking up his seat.

Qiao Xing quickly picked up the document and tucked it under her arm. "Oh, this is company information. Come sit down."

Seeing that she was having trouble riding her bike with the documents tucked in, Qin Ce offered to help her carry them.

"Okay, thank you." Qiao Xing handed him the documents.

Qin Ce then put on the helmet and sat down. The folder opened, and he glanced at the words "Product Concept Plan" on it.

He frowned. "Aren't you in administration? How are you involved in product planning?"

"It's a long story, it all started with the attendance incident that day..."

Qiao Xing rode his bike and complained to him about how Wu Yun had used his position to settle personal scores.

By the time I finished venting, I was almost home.

Finally, she sighed, "You know, she's a manager, how can she be so petty? Just because of this little thing, she went to all that trouble to get me transferred to her department."

"But it's good, if I can withstand her suppression, I can learn more."
