Chapter 18 An Unexpected Gain

Fan Shengmei rubbed her sore eyes, stood up, and stretched. Looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, she secretly resolved to attend that industry exchange event tomorrow; perhaps she could find a solution there. With that thought, she tidied up the documents on her desk, turned off the light, and left the office, her figure disappearing into the dark corridor.

The next day, Fan Shengmei arrived at the industry networking event early. The hall was bustling with people; industry elites, dressed in smart suits and elegant business attire, chatted and laughed, wine glasses in hand, the air filled with the subtle scents of perfume and coffee. Fan Shengmei wore a simple black dress; although the style was ordinary, her natural charisma made her stand out in the crowd. She moved nervously and expectantly through the crowd, her eyes quickly scanning every face, hoping to find someone who could help her project.

Just as Fan Shengmei finished a brief conversation with a colleague and was about to move on to her next target, her gaze was drawn to an elegant woman. This woman, around thirty years old, had short, neat hair and eyes that exuded wisdom and confidence. She was quietly reviewing documents in her hands. Fan Shengmei instinctively felt this woman was no ordinary person, so she mustered her courage and approached her.

"Hello, I'm Fan Shengmei. It's a pleasure to meet you here," Fan Shengmei said with a smile, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

The woman looked up, gave a gentle smile, and replied, "Hello, I'm Lin Yue."

Fan Shengmei's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to recognize the name; it sounded like a well-known and experienced professional. Without time to think, Fan Shengmei proactively introduced the project she was currently in charge of, her words filled with enthusiasm and dedication, as well as concern about the challenges she was facing. Lin Yue listened quietly, a hint of interest gradually appearing in her eyes.

"It does sound like a very challenging project," Lin Yue said, nodding slightly after Fan Shengmei finished speaking.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Fan Shengmei's heart, and she quickly said, "Yes, I've been trying to find a solution, but I'm still clueless. You have a lot of experience in this area, I wonder if you could give me some advice?"

Lin Yue didn't answer immediately. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about this, let's find a quiet place to talk in detail."

The two arrived at a quiet corner of the event venue, where only the occasional whispers of people in the distance could be heard. Fan Shengmei explained in detail to Lin Yue the technical challenges of the project, the team's current situation, and the time pressure they faced. Lin Yue listened attentively, asking questions from time to time. Her questions were precise and incisive, giving Fan Shengmei a clearer understanding of the project's problems.

After listening to Fan Shengmei's story, Lin Yue took out a pen and a small notebook from her bag and quickly jotted something down. Then, she began to analyze the project for Fan Shengmei, covering everything from technical aspects to market demands, from teamwork to resource allocation. Lin Yue's analysis was insightful and easy to understand, giving Fan Shengmei a clear understanding.

“I think you can try to approach it from this angle and adjust the technical solution,” Lin Yue said, pointing to a sketch in her notebook. “The technical bottleneck here might be solved by introducing a new algorithm. Although it will increase some costs, in the long run, it can greatly enhance the project’s competitiveness.”

Fan Shengmei's eyes lit up as she carefully considered Lin Yue's suggestion, finding it increasingly feasible. "Sister Lin, your idea is brilliant! How come I didn't think of that!" Fan Shengmei exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Yue smiled and waved her hand, continuing, "Also, the conflicts among team members mainly stem from poor communication and unclear goals. You need to organize an in-depth communication meeting to ensure everyone understands the overall project plan, their respective responsibilities, and the common goals."

Fan Shengmei listened attentively, memorizing every word Lin Yue said. She felt like a traveler groping in the dark who had suddenly seen a glimmer of light.

After the exchange, Fan Shengmei returned to the company with great excitement. She couldn't wait to compile Lin Yue's suggestions and prepare to call a meeting with the team members.

When Fan Shengmei entered the project discussion room, the team members were sitting together, the atmosphere still somewhat subdued. Upon seeing Fan Shengmei, everyone's eyes focused on her, their gazes filled with a hint of expectation, but mostly with suspicion.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something important to say," Fan Shengmei said loudly from the front of the conference room. She explained Lin Yue's suggestions in detail, including new technical ideas and methods for team communication.

At first, the team members were skeptical, and some raised questions. But as Fan Shengmei answered each question, their expressions gradually changed, and they began to seriously consider the feasibility of this new plan.

“I think this solution does make some sense. If we follow this approach, the technical problem might actually be solved,” one of the key technical personnel said first.

The others nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became more lively. Fan Shengmei seized the opportunity and said, "Next, following Sister Lin Yue's suggestion, let's clarify our respective responsibilities and develop a detailed plan. We must believe that as long as everyone works together, this project will definitely succeed."

Under Fan Shengmei's guidance, the team members began to actively discuss the new plan, and everyone offered their own ideas and suggestions. The team, which was originally fraught with conflict, seemed to have found its direction again thanks to Lin Yue's suggestions. Everyone's goals became aligned, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

After a heated discussion, the team finally finalized a new project plan. Looking at the plan in her hand, Fan Shengmei felt a surge of confidence. With Lin Yue's help, the project finally made new progress; the technical difficulties seemed to have a solution, and the conflicts among team members were also eased.

However, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but wonder why Lin Yue would offer to help her. They were complete strangers; was it simply because she was interested in the project? Moreover, although the project had made new progress, the future was still full of unknowns. Whether this new plan could be implemented smoothly, and whether the project could ultimately be successfully advanced, remained uncertain.
