Chapter 40
The last one is the Centennial Project that Xia Zhongqin is in charge of, and the client manager of this project is Song Xiaojuan.
The reason why Song Xiaojuan signed the contract with Bai Nian was because her previous company was Kingdee, and Bai Nian was a client of Kingdee.
After Song Xiaojuan came to Beijing Smart Internet Company in May last year, she had the need to develop an office software system before Bai Nian. She was very familiar with Lao Wang, so after Lao Wang recommended it to her, she signed the contract immediately and then joined Beijing Smart Internet Company with the Bai Nian project.
However, the scope of delivery in the contract signed by Song Xiaojuan for the Centennial project was too broad and the boundaries were unclear, which made delivery extremely difficult.
Since the signing of the contract, Song Xiaojuan has never accompanied Xia Zhongqin to a client site.
Like the previous inventory, Xia Zhongqin, the project manager of the Centennial Project, reported the overall situation of the project in the same logical way as Lian Yijian, using the general-to-specific approach.
Xia Zhongqin was only halfway through his report when he was abruptly interrupted by Song Xiaojuan.
"If you continue this way, Xia Zhongqin, you won't modify any of the requirements raised by Centennial before the project is accepted. Then, there's no need to discuss the upcoming signing of Centennial Phase II and subsequent cooperation with Centennial."
Song Xiaojuan said aggressively, "If you're not capable enough, have your general manager replace you or have him do it himself. The contract for the second phase is worth 450,000 yuan. I can't lose the order because of you."
This is simply a naked attack on life. Xia Zhongqin looks weak and gentle on weekdays, but she has always adhered to Chairman Mao's point of view: I will not offend others unless they offend me. If others offend me, I will definitely offend them.
Xia Zhongqin bluntly retorted, "If you can do it, go ahead. Have you reviewed the organizational process assets, issue lists, and weekly project reports in the project inventory? The client has repeatedly broken their promises. Director Song, you should know this better than anyone else."
As soon as Xia Zhongqin finished speaking, many people in the delivery department secretly gave her a thumbs up. What she had just said was so satisfying. She was also the only one in the delivery department who dared to confront Song Xiaojuan head-on.
The delivery department has long been fed up with Song Xiaojuan's constant meddling in the delivery department's affairs, but because Song Xiaojuan is a favorite of General Manager Wang, everyone has been putting up with her.
In all the time she had been in the company, everyone, including CEO Wang, had always been polite to Song Xiaojuan. It was only her turn to criticize others, but no one had ever spoken back to her like this. Song Xiaojuan was so angry that her face turned blue. "You don't need to teach me how to do things. Even the people in your department are too ignorant and disrespectful."
"Then it depends on who you are dealing with. Zhong Qin has always been very discerning about right and wrong. Apart from Zhong Qin, there is no other suitable candidate in the delivery department for the Centennial project. If Director Song is worried, then please find someone else. From now on, our delivery department will no longer be responsible for the Centennial project."
Lian Yijian's style of doing things was very clear to her after being with him for a long time. In the end, Song Xiaojuan did not have the courage to say "I don't care", and just looked at the man on the podium with a cold face.
Wang Dayu didn't say a word throughout the whole process, just watched everything happening silently.
The project inventory meeting ended, and Wang Dayu called Song Xiaojuan and Lian Yijian to his office.
In the office, before Wang Dayu spoke, Song Xiaojuan began by complaining about several recent projects that had received customer complaints. Finally, she said, "Mr. Wang, if this continues, we won't have any hope of a second phase of cooperation with high-quality clients like Centennial Bank and Changzhou Rural Commercial Bank. So, I suggest replacing the project managers for these two projects."
Wang Dayu glanced at Lian Yijian, who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, and asked, "Yijian, what's your opinion?"
Lian Yijian couldn't remember how many times he had seen scenes like this. He had long been accustomed to Song Xiaojuan's arrogance and Wang Dayu's favoritism.
We have argued before, but in the end the delivery person still did the work, and the sales person took all the benefits. The sales person received an annual bonus eight times that of the delivery person.
Lian Yijian didn't really want to say anything. Perhaps he was just in a bad mood today. Always calm and composed, he replied, "No one in the delivery department is good enough. Director Song, if you're good enough, go ahead."
Lian Yijian's tone was very stiff and cold. Wang Dayu and Song Xiaojuan naturally felt it, but Song Xiaojuan still said arrogantly, "Lian Yijian, why do you speak to me in such a tone? Beijing Zhihui Sucheng Branch can survive without you."
"Okay, I'll submit my resignation application now. I don't want to serve you anymore." After saying that, Lian Yijian suddenly stood up from the sofa and was about to go out, but Wang Dayu rushed forward and grabbed his arm.
"Yi Jian, what are you doing? If you really leave, no one will be able to take on the responsibility of delivery director for both Sunan District and Sucheng District." Wang Dayu then winked at Song Xiaojuan and said, "Song Xiaojuan, you're being too harsh. Go back first. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
The arrogance on Song Xiaojuan's face subsided a lot after she heard that Lian Yijian was really going to submit his resignation application. Receiving the ladder handed to her by Wang Dayu, she climbed down swiftly and replied, "Okay, Mr. Wang."
Song Xiaojuan quickly left the office and closed the door behind her.
After the office door was closed, Wang Dayu took Lian Yijian's arm and walked to the sofa. "Yijian, sit down. Let's have a good talk."
The two sat down on the sofa together.
Wang Dayu first played the emotional card and recounted the days when the two of them worked together as partners at Shanghai Smart Internet Co., Ltd.
Shanghai is Fanwei's headquarters, and Fanwei is best at competing on low prices. Even if they make a loss, they must get the order.
Shanghai Smart Internet Co., Ltd. competed with Fanwei for customers in Shanghai. The difficulties it faced can be imagined. Even though it was so difficult, they still won many orders from state-owned customers and large listed companies with their outstanding project delivery services and after-sales service.
Such as Sinopharm Group Co., Ltd., the 32nd Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, the 51st Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation and STO Express Co., Ltd.
In the past few years, Wang Dayu played the emotional card with Lian Yijian, and Lian Yijian was very easy to empathize with. He believed whatever Wang Dayu said, but now he is no longer the Lian Yijian of a few years ago.
After experiencing more things, he gradually understood Wang Dayu's routine. To put it bluntly, he was just making empty promises to him, saying that as long as the project manager delivered the project on time, he could get a project bonus of 1% of the project.
Wang Dayu also said that each project manager's monthly salary would increase by 0.5% of the total contract amount of projects delivered in previous years, but in the end, none of it was implemented.
This time, before Wang Dayu could finish his family card, Lian Yijian interrupted him and said, "Boss Wang, I've heard you say this at least ten times over the years, but has anything actually been put into practice? I don't want to hear it anymore today. You should find someone else to be the delivery director for the Sunan project. I'm not capable of continuing in this role. I'll submit my resignation letter shortly."
Seeing that Lian Yijian was serious this time, Wang Dayu was also frightened and quickly comforted him, "Yijian, if you have any requests or ideas, just let me know tonight. I will report to headquarters and do my best to meet them."
Lian Yijian didn't answer him right away. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before speaking. "You can let me stay, but Mr. Wang needs to promise me two things. First, I'll take care of the delivery department's affairs, and the sales department won't interfere with them anymore. The delivery department needs sales' cooperation when we go to the site, and the sales department must fully cooperate. Second, for every project that's accepted on schedule, the project manager will receive a bonus of 2% of the total contract value."
Wang Dayu had originally thought Lian Yijian would make some outrageous requests, but after hearing that these two requests were within his capabilities, he quickly said, "No problem. I'll see Song Xiaojuan tomorrow and tell her to manage her own sales department and not interfere in the delivery department's affairs. Regarding the project manager bonus, I'll report it to Dong Dawei at headquarters tonight. It shouldn't be a big problem."
The matter was settled and the desired goal was achieved. Lian Yijian was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Wang Dayu.
"Yi Jian, I received a call from President Wang from Century this afternoon. He said you're dating Xia Zhongqin from your department again. I want to confirm whether this is true or not. If it's true, it will have a bad impact on the company. Zhang Xiaoshan has already made Su Nan's life miserable. If it weren't for his uncle, President Xu, who is a veteran of the company, one of him and Ji Yue would have resigned long ago."
Zhang Xiaoshan's uncle Xu Jiahua is currently the executive vice president of Beijing Smart Internet Co., Ltd. and the second-in-command of the company after the president.
Lian Yijian didn't know or care about the family relationship between the senior executives of Beijing Smart Internet Company and the personnel of the regional company. If Wang Dayu hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't have known that Zhang Xiaoshan had this relationship with the company's executive vice president.
The affair between Zhang Xiaoshan and Ji Yue was known to everyone in the company, but Wang Dayu pretended to be deaf and dumb. Lian Yijian was a little confused at the time. He originally thought that Zhang Dayu indulged Xu Xiaoshan because he saw his ability, but he never thought that it was because of someone in the headquarters.
This time, Lian Yijian didn't quickly deny Wang Dayu's teasing like he had done before. Instead, he replied, "Boss Wang has a really rich imagination."
"Is it true or false?" Wang Dayu continued to ask without giving up.
Wang Dayu is very successful in his career, but his family business is a complete failure. He and his wife are both Shanghai natives and college classmates. They are a typical couple who went from school uniforms to wedding dresses. Logically, they should have a good relationship.
However, after getting married, the two were together less and less. As Wang Dayu continued to get promoted and get salary increases, the gap between them became larger and larger. In addition, they had no children to support them, so Wang Dayu began to live a carefree life with a red flag flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside.
Wang Dayu has had one girlfriend after another, each one younger than the last. Last year, when he went to Jiaxing for team building, the woman with a great figure was considered his wife by outsiders, but in fact she was just one of his many girlfriends.
