Chapter 37
Xia Zhongqin stood up and handed the briefcase to Wang Xuesheng.
Wang Xuesheng didn't even open it, just glanced at it casually.
"Boss Lian, with all due respect, I can't stamp your acceptance report today unless you have a business solution for Phase II."
If Lian Yijian hadn't been here and Wang Haiyun hadn't counseled her last time, Xia Zhongqin would have started arguing with Wang Xuesheng a long time ago. She had never seen anyone so shameless.
Xia Zhongqin tried hard to suppress her emotions that were on the verge of collapse.
"Mr. Wang, Phase I is Phase I, and Phase II is Phase II. We signed two different contracts and the two cannot be confused. Without the acceptance of Phase I, we will not be able to enter the site to carry out work on Phase II."
"The man-day investment in our project also has to be calculated in terms of cost. You want us to build you an Audi with the money you would have spent on a motorcycle, but we can't do that. If there's nothing else, we'll go back first and leave the acceptance report with you." As he said that, Lian Yijian began to pack up his computer.
Xia Zhongqin, who was standing by, also put away his computer.
Wang Xuesheng remained silent until the two figures disappeared from the conference room door. He then spoke, "Zhencheng, I'll leave the acceptance report with you. I'll let you know when they come up with the second phase business solution and when I'll stamp the acceptance report for them."
The rain outside is still falling, with no sign of stopping, and instead it seems to be getting heavier.
Under the eaves of the first floor, Lian Yijian habitually reached into his shirt pocket with his right hand. Seeing Xia Zhongqin standing next to him, Lian Yijian loosened the cigarette box in his hand, took his right hand out of his pocket, and opened his umbrella.
"Zhong Qin, let's go."
When I came here just now, the rain was not as heavy as it is now. Even Yijian's right half of the body was wet. Now he is going to be soaked like a drowned chicken.
Xia Zhongqin glanced back and saw a row of chairs in the corridor. She said, "Boss Lian, why don't we wait until the rain subsides before we go? Otherwise, your clothes will get wet again."
"Okay." Lian Yijian replied. He put his computer bag on a chair in the corridor and went to the bathroom on the first floor.
The paper towels had been used up to wipe Lian Yijian's clothes. Xia Zhongqin wiped the chair with her fingers and found that there was no dust, so she sat down on the chair.
The result today was within Xia Zhongqin's expectations. If Wang Xuesheng was a sensible and normal person, the century-old project would have been accepted at the end of last year.
Since she joined Smart Internet Company in February last year, as a project manager, she has not yet accepted a single project. However, the company still gave her a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan last year. Ji Yue also received one, but it was only 3,000 yuan.
Zhang Wenjie, who came in with her last year, had delivered project contracts totaling 500,000 yuan as a project manager by the end of last year, but only received a year-end bonus of 10,000 yuan.
There is a project manager in Liangxi District who came in March last year. By the end of last year, like her, not a single project had been accepted, and the company did not give him a single bonus.
Xia Zhongqin had no idea how the company's year-end bonus was calculated and distributed, but she felt inexplicably cared for.
As soon as Xia Zhongqin took out her mobile phone and opened WeChat, she saw a message from Chu Zhencheng @ her in the Centennial Project customer group, saying that the process nodes of the business trip application form and travel expense reimbursement form in financial management also needed to be adjusted, and the "Deputy Manager" field also needed to be added to the form.
The two items mentioned by Chu Zhencheng would be considered as operation and maintenance work if the project has been accepted. The Centennial Project has a one-year free operation and maintenance period, which expired in June this year. At present, it can only be treated as a new demand.
An internal consensus has been reached that no new demands from customers will be accepted before the Centennial Project is accepted. Xia Zhongqin simply chose to ignore them this time. She edited a paragraph of text and posted it in the group.
Xia Zhongqin: @王雪生总王 @楚振城经理楚, these two are new requirements. Due to the completion of the project acceptance and the actual communication situation, these two new requirements cannot be processed at the moment.
As soon as she sent the message, Lian Yijian also sent one.
Lian Yijian: Mr. Wang, Manager Chu, we have completed all the delivery contents of the first phase of the contract with guaranteed quality and quantity. Before the project acceptance, except for the bugs of the Centennial Project, we will not process any other demand-related or optimization-related modifications and adjustments. Please be informed.
The two of them posted messages in the group one after another, but after ten minutes, no one replied and the group was as silent as dead water.
Having smoked three cigarettes in a row in the bathroom, Lian Yijian washed his face twice in the washbasin in the bathroom. He waited until the water on his hands and face was dry before coming out of the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later, the sudden downpour stopped and the sky showed signs of clearing up.
Seeing Lian Yijian coming, Xia Zhongqin stood up from her chair and put her computer bag on her shoulder.
The two walked side by side to the parking lot. Halfway through, Lian Yijian said, "Zhong Qin, for this Centennial project, before it's accepted, just follow our reply in the group chat. During the inventory tonight, I'll tell Jinliang that you'll hand this project over to him, and all your subsequent energy will be focused on the Sucheng project."
Jinliang is Shangguan Jinliang, the operation and maintenance supervisor of Sucheng District.
All projects that have been accepted in Sucheng District will be handed over to Shangguan Jinliang after completion. He will be responsible for the subsequent operation and maintenance of the projects and the maintenance of customer relationships.
The Centennial Project should be the first project in the entire Sucheng District to be handed over to operation and maintenance before acceptance.
Hearing Lian Yijian say this, Xia Zhongqin felt uncomfortable in her heart. She once again doubted her own abilities. Because she was too sad, her voice was choked with sobs.
"Mr. Lian, it's all my fault. I didn't do a good job of managing the project, which led to the project being unable to be accepted." Xia Zhongqin became more and more sad as he spoke, and in the end, he actually started to sob.
Lian Yijian, who has worked in Smart Internet Company for eight years, delivered contracts worth tens of millions, and experienced many ups and downs, and is known as the delivery god of Smart Internet Company, was simply at a loss when faced with Xia Zhongqin's sudden emotional breakdown. He had never comforted anyone before, and he didn't know how to comfort anyone.
Seeing Xia Zhongqin crying more and more sadly, Lian Yijian felt as if his own heart was being cut by a blunt knife bit by bit, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.
When they were about to reach the parking lot, Lian Yijian suddenly stretched out his right hand uncontrollably. He gently pulled Xia Zhongqin's slender arm and pulled her into his arms.
Lian Yijia patted her shoulders lightly twice and said softly, "Who said you didn't do a good job of project management? I've carefully read the Centennial Project documents and weekly reports. They're very well done. The reason why Zhong Qin's project can't be accepted as scheduled isn't your fault. It's the client's lack of cooperation. So don't be so sad, okay?"
She heard words of concern coming from her head, and Xia Zhongqin realized that she had just been pulled into Lian Yijian's arms. She was startled and hurriedly left his arms. Her crying also stopped, but her voice was still choked.
"Mr. Lian, I'm sorry. I lost my composure just now."
Seeing that she looked as panicked as a frightened deer, Lian Yijian felt a slight sense of loss in his heart for some reason, but he only replied with two words "It's okay" and went straight to the driving seat on the left side of the front of the car.
The scene of the two hugging each other in the parking lot just now fell into the eyes of Wang Xuesheng and Chu Zhencheng who had just come out of the conference room on the second floor.
After they both settled into the car, Lian Yijian didn't start the car. Instead, he posted a notice in the Sucheng delivery group about a project inventory. The inventory would begin at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
Lian Yijian’s inventory notification had just been sent to the group, and as they were received one after another, it began to spread in the Sucheng delivery group. Xia Zhongqin also replied with a “received”.
There were a total of twenty people in the group, except Lian Yijian, and the other nineteen people all replied "received".
Unlike their human resources manager Liu Qingqing who posted relevant notices issued by the headquarters in the group, there were very few replies in the group. This is probably a reflection of his personal charm.
Every time Lian Yijian issued a notice in the Sucheng delivery group or the Sucheng regional delivery group, all delivery personnel except Lian Yijian himself would respond.
The two left Centennial around 3:20 in the afternoon, before the evening rush hour, and the traffic conditions were good, just like when they came.
Lian Yijian was also answering the phone all the way, and even when he arrived at the B1 parking lot of Suzhou Metro Transportation Building, the phone still showed no sign of stopping.
When they reached the twelfth floor, Xia Zhongqin returned to the project office first, while Lian Yijian was still answering the phone outside the corridor.
Xia Zhongqin had just taken her computer bag off her shoulder and placed it on her workstation when she heard Xia Kaiqun, who was sitting across from her, ask her, "Sister, where's President Lian? Didn't he come back with you?"
"I'm answering the phone outside." Xia Zhongqin answered truthfully.
"Our delivery expert will go with us. Has the Centennial Project Acceptance Report been stamped?" asked Zhang Xiaoshan, who was sitting next to Xia Kaiqun.
Xia Zhongqin didn't answer Zhang Xiaoshan right away. Instead, after plugging the power cord into the socket, he asked, "What do you think?"
"This Lao Wang is really going too far. He actually dares to ignore our delivery expert. I'll also tell Junjie that from now on, we will no longer support Bai Nian for any of the customer-related features. They've been spoiled."
Hearing that Zhang Xiaoshan's words didn't seem like a joke, Xia Zhongqin also conveyed Lian Yijian and her intentions to Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan and Zhang Junjie were already in the Centennial Project customer group, so they were naturally aware of the project situation.
After listening to Xia Zhongqin's story, Xia Kaiqun, who rarely expressed his opinions to clients, said, "That old man made me stay up all night for nothing."
"This is not Lao Wang's fault. It's our company leader who doesn't understand the greed of human nature." Zhang Xiaoshan responded seriously.
"I've noticed that Mr. Lian is very decisive in other projects. For example, the Jinlun project in Tongzhou last year, after a year of work, the client refused to accept the project. Mr. Lian replaced the Jinlun project manager, Liu Jijun, with himself. In just 20 days, he got the acceptance report back just in time for the end of H2. The contract value of Jinlun was a large project worth 1.2 million yuan."
