Chapter 53
In the past, on weekday mornings, Xia Zhongqin would sleep until the alarm on his mobile phone rang at 6:50, and then he would get up.
This morning, almost an hour early, it was still early. Xia Zhongqin finished putting on her makeup and made herself a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in the kitchen of the rental house.
The kitchen is on the first floor and is shared by her and another tenant who lives on the second floor.
When Xia Zhongqin first came to Beijing Smart Internet Company last year, he did not serve as an independent project manager, but helped out on other projects.
If Xia Zhongqin gets home early from get off work in the evening, she will come back to cook dinner. It is simple for one person, so she usually makes noodles or stir-fries, or at most two dishes and a soup. The ingredients for cooking are all bought from RT-Mart on Donghuan Road, which she must pass by when she gets home from get off work.
Since being appointed as the project manager of the Centennial Project by Lian Yijian in May last year, Xia Zhongqin has performed his rituals in the rental house only a few times.
The tomato left in the refrigerator for making noodles was bought on the evening of the 5th of this month. The shelf life of tomatoes in the refrigerator is generally seven to ten days. When Xia Zhongqin took it out of the refrigerator, it had already shown signs of spoiling.
Xia Zhongqin learned cooking skills from Wang Haiyun. When she was first adopted by Wang Haiyun, she lived and ate in a nursing home.
When she was in the third grade of primary school, Wang Haiyun was not as busy as he is now. At that time, he was only in charge of the Sunset Red Nursing Home in Louqiao Town, an industrial park. When she came home from school in the evening, Wang Haiyun basically cooked for her alone in the room. The reason she did not eat in the nursing home cafeteria was that after eating there twice, she felt that the dishes were too stewed, especially the meat dishes.
After she mentioned it to Wang Haiyun once, Wang Haiyun cooked dinner for her alone in their room and taught her how to cook. In this way, Xia Zhongqin learned how to cook and can cook authentic Suzhou cuisine. As long as the ingredients are provided, she can cook a table of eight people well.
After having breakfast at home and washing the pots and pans, Xia Zhongqin went out. When he arrived outside the Sucheng Metro Project Team office, it was around 8:50 as usual.
Just as Xia Zhongqin walked to the office door, she saw from a distance two boiled eggs and an NFC juice bottle on her desk.
Breakfast was placed at Xia Zhongqin's workstation, which was the first time ever.
Xia Zhongqin walked towards her workstation with a puzzled look in her eyes. Just as she reached her workstation and hadn't even taken her computer bag off her back, she heard someone sitting across from her suddenly whisper, "Girl, Yi Jian cooked these two white eggs for me to bring to you. This glass of fresh orange juice was also squeezed by Yi Jian this morning using fresh oranges."
The person who spoke was Xia Kaiqun. This was the first time Xia Zhongqin met him on the Sucheng subway project. He came earlier than her in the morning, and the other project team members sitting next to them had not arrived yet.
After listening to Xia Kaiqun's words, Xia Zhongqin unconsciously turned sideways and glanced at the window. Someone's workstation was empty. He did not come with Xia Kaiqun this morning. In the past, whenever Xia Kaiqun came to Sucheng, the two of them would come to the Sucheng Metro Project Team together in the morning.
"Oh, girl, don't look anymore. Yi Jian went to Guofa to clean up Ding Jintao's ass this morning."
Although Xia Kaiqun did not say it explicitly, Xia Zhongqin guessed that it was the matter about the notice Han that Guofa's Party A project manager Yan Pingping mentioned. This certain person is like this. No matter which project manager's project it is, as long as there is a problem on the project that the project managers cannot solve, he will always show up at the first time and never shirk his responsibility.
The credit for the project goes to the project manager and project team members. He is the one who takes the blame when any problems arise in the project. It is no wonder that such a delivery director does not convince his subordinates. The team he leads is the iron army of delivery of Beijing Wisdom Company.
Xia Zhongqin replied, "Thank you, Teacher Xia."
While replying, Xia Zhongqin had already taken off the computer bag from her back and unzipped it.
I took out the computer, power cord, mouse and laptop stand from the computer bag one by one.
After turning on the computer, Xia Zhongqin did not rush to work as before, but quietly looked at the boiled eggs and fresh oranges on the table.
Having witnessed someone's attitude and ability in handling problems many times, Xia Zhongqin's mouth corners unconsciously rose slightly. This unintentional scene happened to be captured by Xia Kaiqun who had been looking at her.
"Girl, don't be moved. This is just a small surprise. The more you get in touch with your President Lian, the more you will find that good men like him who are capable, caring and considerate are basically extinct in this world, so you must treat him well..." As Zhang Langlang and Li Tiantian entered the Sucheng Metro Project Team office together, Xia Kaiqun's voice stopped abruptly.
Xia Zhongqin's face turned black when she heard this, as if in the eyes of someone's brother, she seemed to be very bad to him. Well, compared to the loving breakfast someone prepared for her, it was not so good.
Ever since the last time the project manager of the Wujiang Rural Commercial Bank project asked all project team members to be on-site in front of Lian Yimian, Zhang Xiaoshan and Ji Yue have never come to the Sucheng Metro project again. Their workstations have been contracted out to Ji Xu and Su Xianwu, customer development personnel of the outsourcing partner Xiechuang Company.
It was simply because Zhang Xiaoshan and Ji Yue's office chairs were the same as Lian Yijian's, both multifunctional office chairs with wheels underneath that could be rotated and freely adjusted in height. They were the only three of them in the entire project team who had multifunctional office chairs provided by the customer, while the others had their chairs replaced with a rigid one.
Xia Zhongqin cooked a little too much tomato and egg noodles at home this morning. She ate two bowls and was no longer able to eat any more.
The office was air-conditioned, so the temperature was just right. There was no need to worry about the boiled eggs and juice going bad. Xia Zhongqin wanted to wait until the afternoon to have them as afternoon tea.
Just as her thoughts formed, a chubby hand with thick body hair on the back scooped up the juice. Just as she reacted, she heard someone sitting at Ji Yue's workstation smacking their lips and saying, "It's delicious."
"Ji Xu, what are you doing? This isn't prepared for you." Xia Kaiqun's voice was a little loud, attracting the attention of the other project team members who had already arrived.
Xia Zhongqin doesn't have the habit of bringing snacks to work, but in the Sucheng Metro Project Team, some small snacks would appear at her workstation from time to time. When Ji Yue was working on the Sucheng Metro Project, she would bring snacks every day, and of course Xia Zhongqin's would be there, and Li Tiantian would also bring some.
In addition to the girls, people like Wang Langlang and Ji Xu would also bring some fresh fruits from time to time. Especially Ji Xu, he even asked his mother to mail big cherries and edible dried seafood from his hometown of Dalian.
Xia Zhongqin was used to putting the snacks they gave her on her workstation. She ate little, so most of them went into the stomachs of other members of the project team, especially Ji Xu. Whenever he saw delicious food on her desk other than the milk tea she had drunk, Ji Xu was used to taking it without asking. Even in front of Xia Zhongqin, he was very natural, and this time was no exception.
"What belongs to Sister Qin is mine. Sister Qin hasn't even said anything, so why are you so excited, Teacher Xia?"
When Ji Xu said this, he had finished the 500ml of orange juice in the NFC juice bottle. Then he was about to take the two boiled eggs on the table, but this time before he made a move, Xia Zhongqin had already grasped the boiled eggs tightly in his left hand.
Ji Xu was embarrassed after catching nothing. "Sister Qin, you're not going to eat, so why are you so stingy today?"
Yes, Ji Yue and Li Tiantian had both given her boiled eggs before, but she didn’t eat any of them. All of them went into Ji Xu’s stomach. Now, this scene of hers looked as strange as it could be in Ji Xu’s eyes.
"Go, go, go. I want to eat boiled eggs today. Is that not okay?" Xia Zhongqin rolled his eyes at Ji Xu, who looked confused. "Next time, please say hello before you get breakfast. Other snacks are optional."
Xia Zhongqin always spoke gently and softly, and she had never been seen speaking in a harsh manner. Ji Xu was a little frightened and quickly said with a smile: "Sister Qin, I understand. Don't be angry. Otherwise, I will go to the FamilyMart and buy you a bottle of juice."
"No thanks." Xia Zhongqin refused decisively, and took the NFC juice bottles from Ji Xu's desk.
Xia Kaiqun secretly took a photo of Ji Xu drinking juice just now and sent it to someone's WeChat. Soon, someone replied to him on WeChat.
In the past, he never replied to WeChat messages so quickly. Sure enough, he was a man in love.
Lian Yijian: "Uncle Xia, what's going on? Didn't I tell you to put it on Zhong Qin's workstation? How did Ji Xu get drunk?"
Xia Kaiqun: Unfortunately, your sister Zhong Qin was reluctant to drink it right away, so my apprentice got it for free.
Lian Yijian: Where are the eggs?
Xia Kaiqun: It was not taken away by my apprentice
Xia Kaiqun waited for a long time but did not receive a WeChat message from Lian Yijian, so he started the first round of joint debugging work before the Suzhou Metro Project meeting management function went online tonight.
Xia Zhongqin and Li Tiantian both paused their document writing work to cooperate with the launch of the conference management function tonight. The two divided the work and conducted the first round of regression testing according to the functional points listed in the conference management test cases.
Beijing Smart Interconnection Company had never undertaken any projects in the transportation industry before. The Suzhou Metro Project was the first benchmark project in the transportation industry that Beijing Smart Interconnection Company had won. Many of its previous large project experiences were not suitable for the Suzhou Metro Project.
From February this year to now, the Suzhou Metro project has only launched official document management. The system's users are online all day on weekdays (PC and mobile) and the hardships behind it can be imagined.
After Xia Zhongqin came to the Sucheng Metro project, he gradually learned from Li Tiantian and Zhou Qing that on the eve of the launch of official document management, Lian Yijian worked in the project team for three consecutive nights. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he would take a nap on the camp bed.
The camp bed that Lian Yijian slept on was currently folded up and placed in the corner of the project team's office.
A large project like the Suzhou Metro, which costs millions of dollars, must have professional software testing engineers.
Beijing Smart Internet Company has professional software testing engineers, but they are all located in the headquarters. If resources are allocated from the headquarters, the costs will be included in the regional projects.
Before the Suzhou Metro Project was launched, Lian Yijian made a project cost budget. He calculated the golden triangle (time, quality, and cost) that determine the success of a project clearly before launching each project in his Southern Jiangsu District. Because of this, except for a few projects like the Centennial Project that were unprofitable, all other projects in Southern Jiangsu District were profitable.
Because the Suzhou Metro Project involves the integration of many other systems of the Suzhou Metro Project (asset system, financial system, CRM management system, personnel management system, integration with DingTalk to-do list, docking with the municipal document platform, etc.), the total contract man-days is 1,600.
The total assessment man-days are 1,200, the contract implementation man-days are 923, the customer-opened contract man-days are 677, the outsourcing implementation man-days are 367, and the customer-opened outsourcing man-days are 282.
Going to the headquarters to allocate resources to provide on-site support for the Suzhou Metro project was a considerable expense. Lian Yijian used a compromise approach. Before Xia Zhongqin came, Li Tiantian was in charge of functional testing. After Xia Zhongqin came, the two worked together on white-box testing and performance testing. After passing the test, the headquarters test engineers provided remote support.
Nearing lunchtime, Xia Zhongqin and Li Tiantian had completed the first round of regression testing before the meeting management went online.
