Su Lin thought to herself, "If you don't look for me first when you get back to the company, who else would you look for?" She put on such a sentimental expression, it was all talk and no action... If you really had such deep feelings, why did you stay in the hospital with Xia Wuyou for over two weeks without coming back? That's enough, okay?
However, she didn't dwell on it. She had important matters to discuss right now. The banter with the young master was just a formality; there would be plenty of time later.
"This is a chip sample that Lin Wenhua asked me to give to you."
She handed over the small box along with the documents, saying, "There are also parameter reports and clinical records."
"Too lazy to look, not in the mood."
Xu Shi took it, but only opened the box and glanced at it. "Just tell me how effective this thing is."
"More efficient than the 'twins' in the first phase."
Su Lin paused for a moment and said, "Although it's slightly below the specific expectations you and I discussed before, it's definitely fine for launching a new product on the market."
"And the traps you had Chengcheng dig for him have all been avoided, so it seems... not very effective?"
To be honest, from the perspective of the company's overall situation, this result is by no means bad.
The problem is that this was just an excuse for Xu Shi to eliminate Lin Wenhua, so it was definitely not the result they wanted.
"Wow, that's amazing?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi couldn't help but admire him. To be honest, this was indeed not easy, right? Being temporarily assigned an important task, having a team cobbled together from various sources, and having incorrect reference materials... all of this allowed him to pass. It must be said that Lin Wenhua still has some real skills, unlike Jiang Fengshan, who is a good-for-nothing who is deteriorating with age.
"Uncle Lin must be very busy lately, right?"
So he asked this question.
"That's true."
Su Lin nodded. "It's been a long time since I've seen him so dedicated to technical matters. He often works for days on end without sleep... The last time I saw him was when you were thirteen, when he and the master were developing the city defense cannon together."
"Oh, I see."
Xu Shi smiled and said, "It really wasn't easy... Then give the order to hold an awards ceremony."
"Um?"
Su Lin didn't react for a moment. Weren't you going to get rid of him? Why are you praising him now?
What kind of expression is that?
Xu Shi looked at her and said, "What's wrong with holding an awards ceremony?"
"I didn't say I was going to praise anyone, right?"
...
In this fast-paced era, many things are done swiftly and decisively.
The next morning, an awards ceremony was held to recognize the new products.
Unlike previous company meetings, this kind of meeting has a wider reach, not only for senior management of various departments, but also for more than half of the ordinary employees.
Everyone is very enthusiastic about it.
Of course, for most people, the reason for their high enthusiasm is not because they feel proud that the company has developed a new product, but more because Xu Shi said that there would be a meeting in the morning and a holiday in the afternoon... Half a day off is rare, especially since it is paid, which is enough to fill the numb working people with the joy of a harvest.
Xu Shi was equally happy, watching Lin Wenhua sitting to the side with a broad smile.
The old man was clearly tired and dejected. It was clear that Su Lin's information was correct; he had indeed been working day and night for quite some time to develop the second-generation chip, which was truly remarkable for an old man.
However, seeing Xu Shi's attitude and the bustling venue, he felt a little better.
After all, he knew in his heart that Xu Shi had arranged for him to be in charge of this matter, just to make trouble for him. The adult world is always full of indirect methods. Since they can't find any fault with you, Lin Wenhua, on the surface, they will create faults to make trouble for you.
Fortunately, he wasn't one to be trifled with, and eventually succeeded in developing the chip... Did you think I didn't know the information you provided was full of loopholes? But I was a technician in my youth, and this kind of trap is no match for him.
Now he wanted to see what Xu Shi could do. In front of everyone, did he intend to nitpick? That would be disheartening.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips.
Thus, in this delicate atmosphere, the commendation ceremony began.
A lengthy opening statement is always present, and Xu Shi is quite adept at it.
The nearly one-hour speech can be summarized as follows:
Since you've asked me to say a few words, then I'll say a few words.
After thinking about what to say, here are a few sentences.
I believe these few sentences are better than those few; so, today, I'll start by saying these few sentences.
If you feel that what I've said isn't comprehensive enough, then I'll add a few more points.
It has to be said that rambling on and on requires skill, something Xu Shi, a novice in this field, knows all too well. Not only is it tiring for listeners to hear, but his own delivery isn't much better...
"...In short, that's about it."
Xu Shi cleared his throat. "Then, regarding the newly developed second-generation enhanced chip, tests have shown that its performance far surpasses that of the 'Twins'."
"This is a giant leap for Night City, and also a giant leap for the 'Serpent Ring,' so everyone involved in the research and development deserves immense credit."
He said with a smile, "Then first and foremost, the person who deserves praise is Jiang Chengcheng, the head of the engineering department."
"It's clear that after taking over the engineering department, Director Jiang's reorganization has been quite effective, and the successive launches of new products are the best proof of that."
"Chairman Xu, you flatter me."
Jiang Chengcheng stood up apologetically, "This is all part of my job, and I will continue to do my best in the future."
"Great, I have high hopes for you."
Xu Shi exchanged a wink with her, "And all the members under the Engineering Department, especially the newly joined 'Forgotten Ones,' have performed admirably. Keep up the good work, and a promotion and raise are just around the corner."
