Chapter 70
Lian Yi saw him at his workstation, took off the computer bag from behind him and placed it on the workstation.
The man with him came to his workstation, took off his computer bag, and placed it on his already narrow workstation.
Lian Yijian glanced around the project team office. Most of the team members had returned from lunch, so he introduced them to everyone: "This is Xia Cheng, our new delivery supervisor in the Sucheng delivery department. Welcome, Xia Cheng."
After saying that, Lian Yijian clapped his hands to express his welcome to Xia Cheng.
Then, the Suzhou Metro Project Team burst into warm applause.
After the applause died down, Xia Cheng introduced himself to the project team members and concluded by saying, "Please support me in my work in the future, just as you support President Lian."
Xia Cheng's words were very domineering, and there was a condescending aura in his voice, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.
After Xia Cheng finished speaking, the project team office fell silent, and no one in the project team took the initiative to applaud.
Seeing this, Lian Yijian took the lead in applauding, followed by a few sporadic applause.
After introducing Xia Cheng's identity, Lian Yijian was about to take him to an empty workstation in front of him, but was directly rejected by Xia Cheng.
"Mr. Lian, I just want to sit next to you and learn more from you." As he said that, Xia Cheng moved the work chair from the empty workstation in front and placed it next to Lian Yijian's workstation.
Lian Yi Jian didn't say anything else, he just moved his computer a little bit inside. The desk was originally only big enough for one person, but now with one more person, it seemed particularly crowded.
From the first moment she saw the new Sucheng delivery manager, Xia Zhongqin didn't have a good impression of him. She just thought that this man looked like a monkey.
After hearing his low-class words that revealed his obvious ambition, Xia Zhongqin had an even worse impression of him. Now, seeing that he insisted on squeezing into the same desk with Lian Yijian even though there was a vacant workstation in the project team, she felt an inexplicable aversion to Xia Cheng.
Later, after working with Xia Cheng, Xia Zhongqin understood even more clearly that people who give a bad first impression will not be good in the future.
In the morning, Xia Zhongqin inspected the weekly reports of the projects under construction in the entire southern Jiangsu area. The submission rate of the weekly reports reached 80%. The headquarters required 60%, but Lian Yijian of the southern Jiangsu district required 100%.
Before Xia Zhongqin took over, Lian Yijian had always been in charge of the PMO of Southern Jiangsu District. He was so busy and had so many things to do that he spent all his energy on solving the major problems of the projects. It was a miracle that the weekly project report submission rate of Southern Jiangsu District could reach 80%.
For projects that have not submitted weekly reports, Xia Zhongqin has sent WeChat messages to project managers one by one, asking them to submit them before leaving get off work at noon.
As soon as Xia Cheng finished his introduction, Xia Zhongqin logged into the company's project office system. She looked at the to-do list and found that of the five project managers who had been reminded, except for Pan Lulu and Ye Bin, the other three had all submitted their tasks.
Xia Zhongqin sent the project weekly report submission status in the form of an EXCEL spreadsheet to Lian Yijian via WeChat.
Xia Zhongqin's weekly project report in EXCEL spreadsheet is organized by three dimensions: submission rate, project progress rate and project risk.
Lian Yijian replied her with five words, "Got it, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as it’s time to go to work in the afternoon.
Lian Yijian first pulled Xia Cheng into the Sucheng Delivery Department WeChat group, and then pulled him into the Southern Jiangsu District Delivery Group.
In the Southern Jiangsu District delivery group, Pan Lulu and Ye Bin were directly @ed by Lian Yijian respectively.
Lian Yijian: @Ye Bin and @Pan Lulu, the two project managers, are responsible for submitting weekly reports on ongoing projects before the end of get off work today. @All project managers, please pay attention to the submission of your weekly reports on ongoing projects. The weekly reports are linked to your performance appraisals. Only through the weekly reports can the PMO and I know the project status of each project manager in a timely manner.
As soon as Lian Yijian posted the message, the word "received" appeared one after another in the delivery group of Southern Jiangsu District.
Except for Xia Cheng who had just joined the Southern Jiangsu delivery group, all other project managers and implementation supervisors responded.
Xia Zhongqin's Centennial Project had already been accepted for the first phase, but she hadn't finished writing the project closure application until she was halfway through. While she was downloading the organizational process assets needed for project closure from the Centennial Project archive, Xia Cheng suddenly walked up to her.
"Are you Xia Zhongqin, the PMO for Southern Jiangsu? Tell me about the Sucheng District project."
Xia Cheng's words were not polite at all, his tone was very stiff and cold, as if Xia Zhongqin owed him millions. There was a project inventory in Sucheng District tonight, and the situation would be known when the projects were reviewed at the inventory meeting. Xia Zhongqin didn't want to pay attention to his arrogance, but she was worried that her behavior would be used by Xia Cheng to make things difficult for Lian Yijian.
Finally, Xia Zhongqin replied, "Manager Xia, there's a project inventory in Sucheng District tonight. They'll review all the projects under construction in Sucheng. I'm busy with other things right now and really don't have time. If you really want to know, then wait until I finish this century-old project."
Although Xia Zhongqin was very dissatisfied with Xia Cheng's behavior and words, she tried her best to control her tone. Although what she said was very polite, Xia Cheng did not intend to end it there.
Xia Cheng glared fiercely at Xia Zhongqin, who sat motionless at her workstation. "You need to find out who is the current head of the Sucheng Delivery Department. I asked you to tell me about the current projects in Sucheng, but why are you putting it off? If you can handle this PMO position, then take it. If you can't, then don't just sit there and do nothing."
What Xia Cheng said was very unpleasant, and his voice was much louder than before. Some of the project team members who had already started working were disturbed by his loud voice and looked at Xia Zhongqin.
For the first time in her life, she was personally attacked by someone she had just met and whom she already had a bad impression of. Xia Zhongqin was no pushover. Her bottom line in life was "If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. If others offend me, I will definitely offend them."
Xia Zhongqin was just about to stand up from her work chair and have a good talk with this disrespectful fellow in front of her, but she heard one emotionless voice after another falling into her ears from behind her.
"Xia Cheng, I will gradually hand over the work of the Sucheng Delivery Department to you. Don't be so anxious. You won't get what you want if you're impatient. Xia Zhongqin was personally appointed by President Wang as the PMO. She's not only the PMO for Sucheng District, but also for the entire Southern Jiangsu District. If you're dissatisfied with her position as PMO, you can contact President Wang directly."
Xia Zhongqin turned around and saw Lian Yijian standing right behind her.
Lian Yijian's originally slightly cold face gradually showed a faint smile because she looked back. He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if telling her that with his support, no one would dare to bully her.
Lian Yijian's remarks just now were based on facts. His logic was clear and reasonable, so Xia Cheng couldn't find any flaws in it for a moment.
Xia Cheng just replied angrily, "Mr. Lian is right." This sentence was like a fist hitting cotton, without any pain. After saying that, Xia Cheng returned to the workstation he shared with Lian Yijian.
Lian Yijian did not stay at Xia Zhongqin's workstation for too long. He secretly gave Xia Zhongqin a look and left.
Xia Zhongqin turned around and was about to continue writing the completion application for the Centennial Project, but she saw a pop-up window on WeChat. She clicked it and saw that one was a WeChat message from Xia Kai group, and the other was a request from Xia Cheng to add her as a friend.
She first opened Xia Kaiqun’s WeChat.
Xia Kaiqun: Sister Zhong Qin, he's just a mad dog, you don't have to be afraid. With your brother Yi Jian around, he can tame even the craziest dog. There are all kinds of birds in the forest, so don't take it personally, or you'll get sick from anger, and your brother Yi Jian will be heartbroken.
Xia Zhongqin replied, "Thank you, Teacher Xia."
After replying to Xia Kaiqun's WeChat, Xia Zhongqin accepted Xia Cheng's friend request on WeChat.
Xia Zhongqin has always been very clear about the distinction between public and private matters, and she always deals with the matter rather than the person.
Xia Cheng is the delivery manager of Sucheng District. As the PMO, it is inevitable that they will have some interactions at work in the future.
As soon as Xia Zhongqin accepted the WeChat friend list, Xia Cheng started sending her several WeChat messages.
Xia Cheng: Please send me a list of project managers in Sucheng District now, quickly.
Xia Cheng: Please also send me a list of the independent outsourced delivery consultants in Sucheng District.
Xia Cheng: Please send me a detailed list of outsourcing projects in Sucheng District.
Faced with Xia Cheng's constant WeChat messages, Xia Zhongqin remained indifferent and focused on completing her century-old project.
In the end, after Xia Cheng sent thirty WeChat messages to Xia Zhongqin in a row and Xia Zhongqin did not reply, he stopped sending messages to Xia Zhongqin.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Zhongqin had uploaded all the organizational process assets that needed to be uploaded for the Centennial Project, including the project completion PPT. Then she clicked the Submit button, and the process was passed to the Sucheng District Delivery Manager.
Xia Zhongqin took a look and found that Lian Yijian was still the delivery manager for Sucheng District, and the headquarters had not yet adjusted the approval authority node.
After the completion of the Centennial Project was submitted, Xia Zhongqin's WeChat flashed. She clicked it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Wang Dayu, with whom she had never sent a WeChat message before.
She and Wang Dayu added each other on WeChat at the year-end party last year. At that time, Wang Dayu sent out five large red envelopes of 500 yuan each in the Suzhou and Southern Jiangsu group. She was one of the five lucky winners, so Wang Dayu added her on WeChat.
Wang Dayu: Xia Zhongqin, Xia Cheng is the new person I recruited to be the head of the Sucheng Delivery Department. His direct supervisor is me. You must fully cooperate with his work in the future. Don't make excuses for what you should do, otherwise, I will let Xia Cheng take on the role of Sucheng District PMO as well.
After reading Wang Dayu's WeChat, an inexplicable feeling of grievance surged in Xia Zhongqin's heart. She didn't feel aggrieved for herself, but for Lian Yijian. Just because Lian Yijian's ability was too strong and threatened someone's position, that person had to recruit a disgusting thing like Xia Cheng to disgust Lian Yijian.
Xia Zhongqin directly sent the screenshot of the WeChat message Wang Dayu sent to her to Lian Yijian and Xia Kaiqun respectively.
