Chapter 71 Dispute
The international festival project was completed by Lin Xu and two other designers.
With so many people and so many ideas, it’s natural that there will be disagreements.
But the client requested that only one version be sent for review.
This meeting is to discuss this matter.
The three designers each explained their own views, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, and waited for Han Jingyi to make a decision.
"I think we should follow Lin Xu's idea." Han Jingyi said after thinking for a moment.
"Huh, what did I say?" another designer, Hongmao, whispered below.
"What do you mean?" Han Jingyi asked with raised eyebrows.
"It doesn't mean anything. You are the boss. You said to follow his ideas, so let's follow his ideas." Hongmao said sarcastically.
"You mean to say that I'm abusing my power for personal gain and favoring Lin Xu, right?" Han Jingyi lowered his voice, obviously angry.
"Isn't it?" Hongmao also held his breath and spoke in a bad tone.
He had been feeling unbalanced for a long time.
Ever since Ma Xun left, he has been the most experienced and has the best ideas in the entire design department.
He is the first to select all projects, big and small.
But since Lin Xu came, he has been valued by the boss just a few months after joining the company and has been given good jobs.
Especially Mr. Feng’s projects, the clients are easy to talk to and generous, it’s like he’s picking up money for free. I’m so jealous of him.
Ever since I caught up with Lin Xu's private affairs that day and learned that Lin Xu was gay, I became more and more psychologically unbalanced.
If he hadn't flattered Han Jingyi, would he have been able to get such good resources?
People in this line of work are more or less aloof. Due to their aloofness and jealousy, Hongmao has been dissatisfied with Lin Xu and Han Jingyi for a long time.
Chengu, who was sitting next to Hongmao, tugged at his clothes, signaling him to stop talking.
Chen Gu actually had some opinions about Lin Xu, but he was not as aggressive as Hong Mao.
He knew clearly that the boss was speaking for Lin Xu, but he still insisted on going against them. He would gain no benefit at all.
But Hong Mao no longer cared about that and shook off Chen Gu: "Don't stop me. Now that I've said it, I'm not afraid of anything. The worst that can happen is that I'll quit. Anyway, as long as Lin Xu is here, the design department will not collapse."
Han Jingyi hated being threatened the most. He said in a cold voice, "Hongmao, we're just discussing the facts. I'm always grateful for your support when the company was in its most difficult times. But everything Lin Xu has achieved now is due to his own abilities. You all have seen his designs. Could it be that I am biased and that's what led to this?"
Lin Xu, the protagonist of the argument, stood up and said, "I do know Mr. Han, but we're not very close. Regarding the plan we're discussing now, I'm only pointing out the flaws in your design. This exhibition is international in nature. If we can't transplant authentic plants from various regions, we might as well not use it and only display our own varieties. Furthermore, even if we transplant them, if they can't survive in a short period of time, the cost and risk will be too great."
"You mentioned the hypothetical scenario, and my proposal has a proven track record. International exhibitions are run by organizers who are willing to spend a fortune, so we don't need to save money for our clients."
"This isn't a question of money—"
The two argued, and Han Jingyi finally waved his hand. "Hongmao, I'm not biased towards Lin Xu. From a businessman's perspective, I think Lin Xu's design is more impressive. If you trust me, just follow this plan. If not, I can find someone else to do it. Just focus on the results."
"Why should I replace him? I put so much effort into this project!"
"Then listen to me. I am the one who makes the final decision on this matter. If you have any opinions, just come to me and don't make things difficult for Lin Xu. If you have a good plan in the future, I will still support you." Han Jingyi warned.
Hongmao gritted his teeth and shut up, watching Han Jingyi leave the meeting room.
Hongmao and Shen Gu stood up together and left the meeting room. Lin Xu sighed helplessly and finally left.
Teng Qiu noticed that the atmosphere was not right after the meeting, so he quietly leaned over and asked Lin Xu, "What's wrong? Didn't the conversation go well?"
Lin Xu nodded.
"That's normal. In the past, with Ma Xun suppressing us, no one dared to say anything. Now that Ma Xun is gone, we have been suppressed for a long time, so it's understandable that we all want to stand out. Don't take it to heart. They are targeting the matter, not the person." Teng Qiu comforted.
Lin Xu smiled bitterly. It seemed that this time was different. This time they were targeting people instead of things.
It was believed that he got the project because of Han Jingyi's connections, and no one cared about his ability anymore.
"I'm fine, you go ahead and do your work." Lin Xu took a deep breath and focused on the design drawing.
The reason why Ma Xun has absolute say, in addition to his qualifications, is also because of his ability.
If he could reach the level of a horse patrol one day, he wouldn't care what others said.
But although he said he didn't care, Lin Xu's mood was still affected, and the emotion was still written on his face when he got off work.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yan pinched his wrinkled smiling face, "Are you having trouble at work?"
Lin Xu nodded.
"You can tell me about it." Zhou Yan started the car and asked him while driving.
Lin Xu thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll handle it myself."
No one would like to listen to others complaining about their work troubles after work.
"I don't mind listening to your troubles. I may not be able to help you solve them, but speaking them out will help relieve some of the pressure, right?" Zhou Yan coaxed Lin Xu to talk about his troubles.
Lin Xu pursed his lips and told Zhou Yan that his ability was denied.
"I'm really pissed off, but I can't prove anything to him right now!" Lin Xu spoke out the grievances in his heart, and even cursed at people.
Zhou Yan smiled. "No need to prove it. Prejudice is hard to change. If it's mixed with jealousy, it's even harder to dispel. President Han certainly didn't do the right thing in this matter. I'm not admitting he gave you the green light, but he really should have given the old employees some comfort."
After all, Han Jingyi is a few years younger than Zhou Yan and has no experience of working at the bottom, so it is easy for him to act arbitrarily in managing the company.
After all, you are still too young.
"Just keep doing your job. It's none of your business to balance your employees' expectations. After all, you're just colleagues. No one knows each other outside the company. You don't need to worry too much about what they think."
Zhou Yan slowly and in a low voice gave Lin Xu psychological counseling and told him how to handle interpersonal relationships in the workplace.
It also affirmed his strengths in handling people and things, which did not make Lin Xu feel that it was old-fashioned preaching at all.
Lin Xu's restless heart was gradually calmed down, as if it was soaked in warm water, and all the disturbing factors during the day were washed away.
Zhou Yan's maturity and rationality are the sources of Lin Xu's peace of mind. It is really hard for him not to like Zhou Yan like this.
So, what exactly does Zhou Yan want to talk to him about tonight?
If it was a confession, Lin Xu guaranteed that he would throw himself into Zhou Yan's arms immediately.
