Chapter 47
At around 8:50 am on Monday, Xia Zhongqin first arrived at the conference room on the second floor of Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment.
The door of the conference room was open and there was no one inside. The appointment with Wang Xuesheng, general manager of Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment, was at nine in the morning.
Xia Zhongqin was sitting next to the seat where she and Lian Yijian had come last time. She put her computer bag on a chair beside her.
Xia Zhongqin had just taken her computer out of her bag when Shangguan Jinliang, who had driven here according to the address of the Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment Company she had provided, also arrived at the meeting room.
Originally, Shangguan Jinliang suggested that Xia Zhongqin go to the Suzhou subway station in the morning, and he would drive over to pick her up, and the two would go to Centennial together.
Xia Zhongqin asked Shangguan Jinliang where he lived, and learned that Shangguan Jinliang's home was in the Xintiandi Home Community near Tangzhuang Station on Metro Line 2.
Xintiandi Home Community is near the Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment Company, but it is quite far from the Suzhou Metro Station. It takes at least twenty minutes to drive there without traffic jams. Xia Zhongqin decisively declined Shangguan Jinliang's kindness.
Xia Zhongqin sent the address of Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment Company and the location of the conference room to Shangguan Jinliang via WeChat. The two of them set out from their homes and met in the conference room on the second floor of Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment.
As soon as the two greeted each other in the conference room, Wang Xuesheng and Chu Zhencheng entered the conference room one after another.
As soon as he entered the conference room, Chu Zhencheng placed three copies of the Centennial OA acceptance report, which were already stamped with the Centennial company's air conditioning equipment seal, in front of Xia Zhongqin. "Manager Xia, our company has already used the seal on the acceptance report. When your company is done using the seal, please bring a copy to our company for filing."
Beijing Smart Interconnect Company's project management system requires that regional project acceptance reports be prepared in triplicate, with one copy retained by the headquarters, one by the region, and one by the customer.
Xia Zhongqin did not respond to Chu Zhencheng immediately, but checked the Party A's seal on the last page of the three acceptance reports placed in front of her one by one.
Only after seeing the bright red official seal of Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment Company and Wang Xuesheng's handwritten signature and date did Xia Zhongqin put the acceptance report away. He then replied, "Okay, Director Chu, the headquarters will stamp the acceptance report and send a copy back to Centennial."
Xia Zhongqin first briefly introduced Shangguan Jinliang to Wang Xuesheng and Chu Zhencheng, and finally talked about the purpose of Shangguan Jinliang's visit.
When Wang Xuesheng, who had been listening silently but not saying anything, heard that Shangguan Jinliang would be in charge of the Centennial Project from now on, he suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Xia, you can't change the project manager for Phase 2 just because I accepted the first phase of the Centennial Project. If you're not in charge of Phase 2, then I'll have to wait until next year to pay the acceptance fee for Phase 1, which was originally due in October."
"Mr. Wang, we're not changing the project manager. It's just that the first phase of the Centennial Project has concluded. If there are any modifications or adjustments that need to be made to the subsequent phase, please contact me directly. Our company's other projects will also be directly handed over to our operations and maintenance department after acceptance."
"This is what our company's project management system requires. As long as the project is accepted, the project manager of the project will no longer have to take care of it." Shangguan Jinliang explained patiently, "Before coming here, Director Song told me that your company, Mr. Wang, wants to buy financial OCR and credit reporting plug-ins from Mairis. She was not feeling well today and went to the hospital. She asked me to bring these two product contracts over. Mr. Wang, please take a look at them first." As he spoke, Shangguan Jinliang stood up and handed the two product contracts to Wang Xuesheng with both hands.
After reviewing the amounts on the two product contracts, Wang Xuesheng had Chu Zhencheng complete the seal application process on the Centennial Office system and stamped the two contracts on the spot. "Manager Shangguan, please tell Song Xiaojuan that I'll arrange for the payment before this Friday. These two products need to be deployed for us by next Tuesday."
Shangguan Jinliang replied "OK".
After they had talked about everything they needed to talk about, Wang Xuesheng said, "We have guests coming at ten o'clock," then stood up and left with Chu Zhencheng.
The ultimate purpose of this trip - to get the acceptance report - has been completed, and the on-site handover of the first phase of the project has been successfully completed. Xia Zhongqin and Shangguan Jinliang also began to pack up their things.
Shangguan Jinliang had only packed half of his things when he received a call on his cell phone. It was Ding Jintao, the project manager of the Guofa project.
This morning, the National Development Project encountered an approval node drift problem in the document receipt management, and some individual documents management also had the problem of missing attachments.
Ding Jintao called Lian Yijian, but Lian Yijian didn't answer, so he had to call Shangguan Jinliang. Yan Pingping, the project manager of the Guofa project, asked them to complete the process before noon today, otherwise they would send a letter of criticism to Beijing Smart Internet Company.
After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Jinliang hurriedly packed up his remaining things and said as he was about to leave the conference room: "Zhong Qin, I was originally planning to drive you back to the Sucheng subway station after we finished dealing with things at Bai Nian, but now Jin Tao has run into a problem with the Guofa project, and the situation is urgent. You can take a taxi back later, so I won't be sending you off."
"The approval node drift in document management, has Mr. Shangguan ever encountered this problem in previous projects?" Xia Zhongqin had just heard Shangguan Jinliang's retelling on the phone. It seemed that this was the first time he had encountered the problem of approval node drift.
"No, this is my first time. I'll go to the scene first to check out the situation. If I can't handle it, I'll ask the boss for help."
As soon as Shangguan Jinliang said the word "busy", Xia Zhongqin mentioned to him that the approval nodes in the document management of the Sucheng Metro project had also drifted.
As if seeing a savior, Shangguan Jinliang hurriedly said, "Zhong Qin, why don't you come with me? Mr. Lian is busy too, so if we can spare our boss some trouble, let's do it. It's not easy for him."
Later, she returned to the Suzhou Metro project to work on writing test cases for the functional module of the contact list. Currently, there were no particularly urgent matters that required her to handle on-site at the Suzhou Metro project site. Xia Zhongqin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Centennial Air Conditioning Equipment to Sucheng Guofa if there is no traffic jam.
Shangguan Jinliang drove fast and arrived in just fifteen minutes.
In order to save time, Shangguan Jinliang parked his car directly in the ground parking lot, just like he did last Friday afternoon.
The moment Xia Zhongqin, who was sitting in the back seat, opened the car door, a wave of heat hit her in the face.
The sun in July is indeed extremely scorching.
After getting out of the car, Xia Zhongqin followed Shangguan Jinliang, and the two of them walked quickly to the first floor of the National Development Hall.
Outside the first floor lobby of Guofa is the ground parking lot of Guofa Group. After walking about ten steps, you will reach the cool first floor lobby of Guofa.
The door of the Guofa Project Group's office was not closed, it was open.
As Xia Zhongqin and Shangguan Jinliang walked to the door of the Guofa Project Group's office, they heard sarcastic voices coming from the office.
"Ding Jintao, can you do it or not? If it weren't for your General Lian, do you think your Beijing Smart Internet Company would have anything to do with the second phase of the Guofa project? Our Guofa Group would have been replaced by Fanwei long ago..."
Hearing this sharp and harsh female voice, Xia Zhongqin felt a sharp pain in her head and her heart was twisted. At least in the Centennial Project, she had never been treated like this by Wang Xuesheng, whom she always thought was unreasonable.
While she was lost in thought, Shangguan Jinliang had already entered the project office, and Xia Zhongqin had no choice but to go in as well.
With the arrival of the two people, the harsh voice continued to ring relentlessly. Although it is said that customers are God, this scene is completely a personal attack. Xia Zhongqin's principle in dealing with people is "I will not offend others if they do not offend me, but if others offend me, I will definitely offend them." She cannot accept anything that exceeds her bottom line, and she must fight back when it is time to do so.
Xia Zhongqin said without hesitation, "Director Yan, the incident has already occurred. We accept Director Yan's criticism and will correct it. As soon as we received Teacher Ding's call, we rushed here immediately, hoping to resolve the issue as soon as possible."
Xia Zhongqin spoke in a very calm tone, without any negative emotions or complaints. The key point was that to others, his words sounded very reasonable and well-founded, and Yan Pingping, who was always nitpicking, couldn't find any reason to argue with him.
Yan Pingping could only glance at the two people standing not far from her with contempt, and then glared at Xia Zhongqin fiercely.
The weather was too hot, so Xia Zhongqin wore a light green long dress she bought from Uniqlo last year. She tied her hair into a bun and only put sunscreen on her face.
Only a little bit of the cherry blossom pink lipstick she applied before going out in the morning remained scattered on her lips, but it did not affect the overall beauty. She was wearing a pair of milky white flat sandals and standing there quietly. Xia Zhongqin looked pure and sexy.
Xia Zhongqin's ordinary outfit made Yan Pingping feel an inexplicable discomfort, even though she was wearing the latest style of Chanel professional summer suit that she had just bought on Guanqian Street last month.
Yan Pingping's unfriendly gaze coincidentally met Xia Zhongqin's clear eyes. Yan Pingping hastily averted her gaze, snorted coldly, and said, "Since President Lian can't come, what problems can you two solve? And last night, Ding Jintao sent me a WeChat message saying that the issue of missing attachments in official document management had been resolved. Why did it appear again this morning?"
"Director Yan, I heard from Jin Tao that we probably missed something during our investigation yesterday afternoon. I'll take a look later..."
Shangguan Jinliang's words were interrupted by a hurried male voice as he walked to the door of the project office: "Director Yan, Director Dong is looking for you."
"This must be completed before noon today, otherwise you will receive a letter of criticism from the National Development Group."
On the way here, Xia Zhongqin had already sent the screenshot of the node drift problem that he had sent to Zhou Qing last Friday to Shangguan Jinliang.
While driving on the road, Shangguan Jinliang didn't look carefully, just glanced at it.
After Yan Pingping left, Shangguan Jinliang turned on his computer and opened the Guofa project environment deployed locally. He followed the detailed steps for handling approval node drift written in Lian Yijian's notes on the screenshot and handled it bit by bit.
After greeting Xia Zhongqin, Ding Jintao also began to re-check the official documents that still had lost official document management attachments this morning.
Xia Zhongqin sat down at the empty workstation next to Shangguan Jinliang. She planned to write some test cases for the work contact form.
Xia Zhongqin had just logged into WeChat on his computer when he received a WeChat message from Xia Kaiqun.
Xia Kaiqun: Girl, is Mr. Lian working on the Suzhou subway project today? If he is, ask him to call me back. I have something urgent to talk to him about. I called him several times today, but he didn't answer. He didn't reply to my WeChat messages either. He's disappeared.
It has been almost half a month since they added each other on WeChat, and this is the first time Xia Zhongqin received a WeChat message from Xia Kaiqun.
It seems that there is really an emergency.
Xia Zhongqin replied, "Teacher Xia, President Lian is not working on the Suzhou Metro project today. He's busy with the Zhongtian project in Tongzhou."
After replying, Xia Zhongqin closed the WeChat chat dialog box. She opened the use case form of the work contact form. Just as she typed the word "工" in the test case form, the WeChat icon in the lower right corner of the computer flashed. She clicked it and saw that it was Xia Kaiqun who replied.
Xia Kaiqun: From now on, if we follow the whereabouts of our general, it will be right to find girls (smirk expression).
Xia Zhongqin glanced at the WeChat message Xia Kaiqun sent back, shook her head speechlessly, and closed the WeChat dialog box directly.
Xia Zhongqin understood that the slightly ambiguous words Xia Kai sent to the group were just like the photo Zhang Xiaoshan had posted on his WeChat Moments not long ago of her and Mr. Lian having dinner together. If she tried to explain, it would only make the situation worse, so she simply ignored it.
About forty minutes later, Yan Pingping, who had left for something, came back to the project office.
As soon as she entered, Yan Pingping barged in, "Have you addressed the issues with missing document attachments and shifting approval nodes? Director Dong just summoned me because of the system issue."
Director Dong is Dong Wencheng, the second-in-command of the Urban Investment Group. He is Yan Pingping's deputy supervisor and is mainly responsible for the work of the group's four departments: the Party and Mass Work Department, the Human Resources Department, the General Office, and the Capital Operations Department.
"The loss of document management attachments occurred again this morning. The cause of the problem has been found. It was caused by my incomplete investigation last night. Director Yan, from now on, it will definitely not happen again." Ding Jintao responded.
Yan Pingping did not respond to him, but went straight to the back of Shangguan Jinliang and Xia Zhongqin's workstations.
Xia Zhongqin, who was writing a test case for the Suzhou Metro Project work contact form, saw WeChat flash again in the lower right corner. She clicked it and saw that it was Lian Yijian and Xia Kaiqun.
Xia Kaiqun: Girl, thank you for your help. I just finally got through to your General Lian. He will pick me up in Liangxi this afternoon and then return to Suzhou. I will treat you to dinner tonight.
Lian Yijian: Zhong Qin, did the handover go smoothly this morning? I'll be back to the Suzhou subway station later this afternoon.
The WeChat messages that Xia Kaiqun and Lian Yijian sent to Xia Zhongqin were clearly seen by Yan Pingping, who was standing between her and Shangguan Jinliang. Just as Xia Zhongqin was about to reply to Lian Yijian, sarcastic remarks came from behind.
"Your President Lian really has double standards. I sent him a WeChat message this morning, but he didn't even reply. I called him five times, but he didn't even answer." As if suddenly remembering something, Yan Pingping found a photo that she had previously saved in Zhang Xiaoshan's circle of friends in her mobile phone album.
Zhang Xiaoshan was responsible for the customer development work for the first and second phases of the Guofa project. As the project manager of the Guofa project, it was Yan Pingping who took the initiative to add Zhang Xiaoshan on WeChat.
It was the photo of Lian Yijian and Xia Zhongqin having dinner together at the Yueya Bay Dumpling Restaurant.
When Zhang Xiaoshan took the photo, only Xia Zhongqin's back was photographed, while Lian Yijian's face was shown.
Ever since seeing this photo on Zhang Xiaoshan’s WeChat Moments, Yan Pingping had been guessing what the girl who had dinner with Lian Yijian looked like. Now that she finally knew, she couldn’t help but feel angry.
"That's all she looks like. I thought your President Lian had such high standards, but it seems he's incredibly blind."
Yan Pingping's words made Xia Zhongqin look confused. This was her first time to come to the National Development Project and also her first time meeting Yan Pingping. However, the obvious unfriendliness in Yan Pingping's voice and the hostile look in her eyes almost an hour ago were really too obvious.
Xia Zhongqin was too lazy to pay attention to Yan Pingping's confusion and replied to Lian Yijian, "Okay, Mr. Lian."
Even if Lian Yijian didn't ask about the centenary acceptance report and project handover, she would send Lian Yijian a WeChat message at noon to inform him of the situation. This was her work habit: to give an account of everything.
The reason why I didn't give feedback to Lian Yijian immediately was because I knew he was super busy this morning.
Xia Zhongqin originally didn't plan to reply to the WeChat message sent by Xia Kaiqun, but then he thought it was not appropriate, so he replied: Thank you Teacher Xia for the invitation, I will take a look at it in the evening.
Seeing that Xia Zhongqin ignored her, Yan Pingping's expression became extremely ugly. Just as she was about to explode again, Shangguan Jinliang said, "Director Yan, the issue of drifting in the approval nodes of document management and issuance management has been resolved."
The so-called approval node drift means that the process that should be approved by person A will automatically skip A and be given to the reviewer at the next node.
"Who knows if the follow-up will be the same as the loss of the attachments in the official document management, and there will still be problems with the drift of approval points. In view of the two serious accidents, Director Dong just came to me because of this matter. The notification letter will be sent out tomorrow. It is useless for you to even come to me to plead for mercy." After saying this, Yan Pingping left the project team office with an angry face.
