Transmigrated to the Courtyard in 1962, I sold my iron rice bowl at the start.
I will study hard, get into a technical secondary school, and become a technician. When the trend rises, I will ...
Which aspect are you referring to?
"The bonus this year can't be like last year, there were too many people. Don't worry, I've contacted the bank and they've arranged for them to send someone over. Tomorrow, just wait and see the big show. Today, let's watch the stage play first."
This year, the factory's performance was anything but simple; he specially invited a performing arts troupe to perform. They reciprocated the favor.
They even had the performing arts troupe prepare a complete program schedule, all to keep the factory lively and bustling. This year, nobody was interested in the food anymore; they had the money, but the performing arts troupe's performances weren't something everyone could see.
"By the way, how's that kid Liu Guangtian doing? How's he doing?" Wang Shouren hadn't even finished speaking.
Liu Guangtian walked in carrying a document. He was surprised to see Wang Shouren, but then immediately greeted him happily: "Brother Shouren, you're back."
"Yeah, you're back. We were just talking about you, and here you are."
"You mean me?" Liu Guangtian scratched his head. "I don't think there's anything wrong with me."
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Shen Yuanliang nodded.
That's just how he is. Modesty and humility don't work on him. He always says what he means.
Liu Guangtian was arguably his most satisfying subordinate, without exception. However, no matter what, this stubborn mule refused to become his apprentice, claiming that he already had a master.
Fortunately, Shen Yuanliang wasn't the kind of person who was stubborn. If he refused, so be it. He had already taught him everything he needed to.
"Do you have any work reports? If so, report them first. We can talk about catching up later," Wang Shouren said cheerfully.
"Okay!" Liu Guangtian didn't stand on ceremony and went to find Shen Yuanliang with the documents.
Shen Yuanliang was extremely satisfied with this; it was a clear sign that someone had a keen eye for things.
The key point is that this young man is also particularly fond of learning, and he often goes into the research lab.
After reporting for a while, which was considered the end of the session, Wang Shouren asked, "So, Guangtian, how have you felt these past two years?"
"I've learned a lot, but..." Liu Guangtian hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just feel that what Professor Zhuge teaches is very difficult for me to learn. It's too difficult."
"He still learned a lot. At least, he offered a lot of suggestions during the car development process. Otherwise, it wouldn't have come out so smoothly."
"Oh? What opinion?" Wang Shouren raised an eyebrow.
"It's nothing much, just some exterior modifications. I feel like something's missing. Also, some suggestions on the interior." Liu Guangtian scratched his head.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouren's eyes lit up.
Good prospect!
This guy is definitely a product manager in the making!
"Alright, when you come back, go to the research department and work on the research together."
"Ah? I can't do it, Brother Shouren." Liu Guangtian waved his hands repeatedly: "Let Liu Guangfu go, that kid is graduating soon too."
"Isn't Liu Guangfu doing quite well in his studies? Why not continue to delve deeper? Your salary isn't low either."
Liu Guangfu was sent to the countryside during that period, but even though the conditions were harsh and he had already married someone there, he didn't give up his studies. As soon as the college entrance examination was reinstated, he was admitted to university. It was a university in Beijing, and he studied mechanical engineering. He also brought his wife and children with him.
His brother wanted to help him financially, but he said he wanted to rely on himself.
These days, university students receive subsidies, so if you're frugal, you can still make ends meet.
"He said..." Liu Guangtian described Liu Guangfu's current situation.
“Okay, don’t worry about it. Just have him come to me later. Don’t refuse the offer to go to the R&D department either. I’m not asking you to learn the technology, but to give feedback. In other countries, there’s a position called product manager…” Wang Shouren explained the concept of product manager to Liu Guangtian.
In later generations, the animosity between product managers and engineers could be discussed for three days and three nights without end.
However, in Wang Shouren's view, a product manager really needs to know some technical skills. Otherwise, it's easy to make a fool of yourself. Someone like Liu Guangtian, who is clearly falling behind but still interested in these things, is the most suitable person to be a product manager.
Then, he thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, later on, you can go out and run around with the company's sales department. I'll arrange it later. Also, starting next year, you should be traveling around for a period of time. Think it over carefully and see if you're willing to take this position."
"What's wrong with running around outside? I'm fine with it."
"When I say 'outside,' I mean overseas. Also, you need to study English properly."
"Huh?!" Liu Guangtian was dumbfounded.
To be honest, there's a lot going on at the factory—production, R&D, sales, all sorts of things.
Wang Shouren thoroughly investigated the situation and didn't return to his office until nearly noon. The round face he had in the morning was gone; he'd apparently gone to discuss matters with the performing arts troupe. Inside, the three little ones stood with their heads down, while Qin Jingru sat on the sofa, angrily berating them.
"Well, you've gotten quite bold, huh? You dare to drive today, what are you going to do tomorrow, fly a plane?! Huh! Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything?! Wang Siren, as the older brother, what are you doing?! Letting this silly little sister instigate you?!"
"Mom! You didn't even ask, how can you say I instigated it!" Wang Xirou immediately protested.
"Do I need to ask? You're the most brainless one in our family!" Qin Jingru glanced at him and said, "Stand up straight!"
Wang Xirou was startled and quickly stood up straight.
"Mom, this...this isn't my sister's fault." Wang Siren swallowed hard. Despite his fear, he felt it was still necessary to protect his sister.
Wang Ruiming rolled his eyes. Exonerating Qin Jingru wouldn't work.
Sure enough, she got even angrier.
"Alright, alright, alright, what's wrong now?" Wang Shouren quickly joined the fray.
"What happened? The three of them drove around the entire city of Beijing this morning in our car, and even stopped by Bianyifang for a nice meal. If they hadn't been stopped halfway through, they could have gone wild all day!"
Wang Shouren: ...
Wow, they're really going wild!
"What's wrong? How could you make your mother so angry? Go, go, go and reflect on your mistakes in the corner." Wang Shouren shooed them away like flies.
"No, what do you mean by making me angry! Wang Shouren, do you know how much trouble they've caused this time? If Director Wu hadn't seen our car, who knows where those three kids would have run off to?!" Qin Jingru's voice rose even higher.
