Chapter 30 Sharing the good fortune, making money together

Monday, at the company.

Chen Mo went to work as usual.

The project is now in its third week. According to the plan, the detailed design should be completed this week, and the project should enter the development phase.

However, the project meeting in the morning did not go very smoothly.

"Team Leader Chen, we haven't received the interface documentation for our module yet."

Mr. Liu, who was in charge of the "smart home integration" module, was the first to raise the issue.

"The property management system team said that their data format has not been finalized yet and they want us to wait two more days."

"There are also problems with the hardware selection of the security monitoring module."

Mr. Zhang continued, "The camera model recommended by the manufacturer is incompatible with our previous solution, so we need to re-evaluate it."

"The requirements for the community service module have changed again."

Lin Wei also frowned, clearly indicating that she had encountered some trouble as well.

However, she didn't say it in public, intending to try to handle it herself first, so as not to cause Chen Mo any trouble.

Problems kept popping up one after another.

Each problem seems reasonable on its own, but when put together, they bring the project to a standstill.

Chen Mo sat at the head of the conference table, listening to everyone's reports with a clear understanding in his mind.

These "problems" didn't appear earlier or later, but they all erupted at this crucial juncture.

Moreover, the departments and personnel involved all have some connection with Supervisor Li or Supervisor Zhang.

There is no doubt that someone is sabotaging us behind the scenes.

Although he had already guessed it and was mentally prepared.

But he can't openly break off relations right now.

You absolutely cannot go directly to Minister Huang or Manager Shen to complain.

Doing that would only make you appear incompetent, unable to coordinate the team, and unable to handle these "normal" project challenges.

"Okay, I understand the questions."

Chen Mo closed his notebook and said calmly, "Engineer Liu, go and communicate with the property management system again this afternoon and make it clear to them."

The final data format must be provided by tomorrow morning at the latest, otherwise it will affect the overall progress.

"Zhang, regarding the hardware selection issue, please compile a comparison report, clearly listing indicators such as compatibility, cost, and performance. We'll discuss it separately this afternoon."

"Wang, record the new requirement, but don't include it in this phase of development for now. Tell the property management company that this feature can be included in the second phase plan."

He laid out the arrangements one by one, with a clear mind and explicit instructions.

But the atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat subtle.

Apart from Lin Wei saying she had no problem, the others looked at each other and no one responded immediately.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo looked at everyone and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Deputy Team Leader Chen..."

After hesitating for a moment, Engineer Liu said, "It's not that we're not cooperating, it's just... other departments also have their difficulties. If we push too hard, we're afraid it will damage our relationships."

"that is."

Engineer Zhang chimed in, "Besides, some people in the project team are having their own thoughts... they feel we're pushing the schedule too hard and working too much overtime, but..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Chen Mo knew perfectly well what was going on.

Sure enough, the rumors were true.

Some people privately spread discontent, saying things like, "Why should someone with the same rank as me lead us?", "It's not in accordance with procedures", and "He just got lucky and latched onto a powerful figure"...

These remarks have undoubtedly shaken the morale of their own troops.

"I see."

Chen Mo stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and picked up a marker.

"Since everyone has ideas, let's have an open and honest discussion."

He drew a simple table on the whiteboard, writing "Difficulties" on the left and "Benefits" on the right.

"First of all, I admit that this project has a tight schedule and heavy workload. Just one sentence from me has caused everyone to work overtime and be under a lot of pressure."

Chen Mo turned to look at everyone and said sincerely, "But this is not just my project, it is everyone's project."

If you do well, the company will reward you; if you don't do well, everyone will be affected.

He paused, then continued, "Secondly, regarding the issue of rank and leadership."

The company appointed me as the deputy project leader because they believe I have the ability to coordinate this project effectively.

If anyone feels I am not qualified, please bring it up now, and we can work together to request Minister Huang to replace me.

The meeting room fell silent immediately after he said that.

No one dared to speak.

"at last……"

Chen Mo walked to the whiteboard and wrote down a few keywords in the "Benefits" column.

"Bonuses, promotions, resumes, skills enhancements."

He looked at everyone and said, word by word, "I know that you are here to work not for sentiment, but to make money and for development."

Let's be realistic then.

"This project is a key pilot project for the company this year. Manager Shen is personally overseeing it, and General Manager Wang is also paying close attention to it."

If we do well, the project bonus will be substantial.

He paused, observing the reactions of the crowd.

"Moreover, the company has a clear rule that key personnel involved in major projects will be given priority consideration in future promotions and performance evaluations."

This is a real, tangible benefit.

"More importantly..."

Chen Mo walked to the window, pointed outside and said, "The technologies used in this project are all cutting-edge in the industry."

Smart communities, the Internet of Things, big data analytics... these experiences, when listed on your resume, are your valuable assets.

Whether it's changing jobs or transferring internally, this will be an advantage.

He walked back to the conference table, placed his hands on the surface, and scanned everyone with his eyes.

"So the 'difficulties' we are facing now are actually opportunities."

Solving this problem proves our capabilities and will bring us tangible benefits.

They chose to cooperate with me to make the project a success, so we can share the good fortune and make money together.

Or do we choose to be influenced by gossip, become passive and unmotivated, and ultimately cause the project to fail, leaving everyone to take the blame?

I don't care anyway. At worst, I'll quit my job. I'm all alone, with no car and no house.

But what about you? You have wives and kids, right? And car and mortgage payments, right?

Chen Mo's words struck everyone's heart like a hammer.

It's realistic, direct, but very persuasive.

There was a few seconds of silence in the conference room.

"Team Leader Chen, I understand."

Engineer Liu was the first to speak, saying, "I'll go and urge them this afternoon, and we'll definitely get the data format by tomorrow morning."

"I'll send you the hardware selection report before 3 p.m.," Engineer Zhang added.

Engineer Wang assured him, "Okay, I'll write down the new requirements and communicate them with the property management company."

Seeing this, others also expressed their opinions.

The subtle sense of resistance I felt earlier seemed to have dissipated considerably.

"it is good."

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

"That concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please continue working according to your assigned tasks. If you encounter any problems, please communicate with us immediately, and we will solve them together."

"yes!"

After the meeting, everyone left one after another.

Chen Mo was still the last to leave.

He recalled the scene just now and felt a sense of pride in his own intelligence and resourcefulness, as well as his ability to put himself in others' shoes.

Sometimes, just talking about principles is useless, and just making empty promises is also useless.

Since they are also cattle and horses, they naturally know what cattle and horses care about most.

Therefore, he needs to show everyone the tangible benefits.

Nobody will make things difficult for themselves!

"Sharing the good times and making money together."

This saying may be cliché, but it works.

After packing his things, Chen Mo left the conference room and returned to his workstation.

He had just sat down when the internal phone rang.

It's Minister Huang.

"Chen Mo, come to my office."

"OK."

Chen Mo stood up and walked towards the leader's office again.

He pushed the door open and went in. Minister Huang was standing by the window, with his back to the door.

"Minister Huang, you wanted to see me?"

Minister Huang turned around with a smile on his face.

"I heard about the project meeting just now."

He walked behind his desk and sat down, looking at Chen Mo with admiration in his eyes.

"You handled it well."

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised: "You knew?"

"How could I not pay attention to such a big project?"

Minister Huang smiled and said, "Engineer Liu and Engineer Zhang just came to me to report on their progress. Their attitude is much more proactive than before."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Chen Mo, it's good that you came up with the idea of ​​using 'profit sharing' to persuade everyone."

The workplace is not school; you can't go far on ideals and passion alone.

Being realistic makes things easier to achieve.

"Thank you for your recognition, Minister Huang," Chen Mo said.

"but……"

Minister Huang then changed the subject, his expression turning serious.

"You still need to be careful with Supervisor Li and Supervisor Zhang. They didn't succeed this time, so they definitely won't let it go."

I can't confront them openly, because I lack evidence, and besides, they have powerful backers.

"I understand," Chen Mo nodded.

"Good that you understand."

Minister Huang stood up and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.

"This project is important to both of us."

If I do a good job, you'll be the youngest team leader in the technical department, and I'll have more influence with the leadership.

So, no matter what, you have to get it.

"I'll do my best," Chen Mo said.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."

After leaving Minister Huang's office, Chen Mo felt somewhat conflicted.

He knew that he had most likely been caught up in the workplace vortex, behind which lay the struggle between the company's veterans and Manager Shen.

But since I've accepted this project, I can only bravely move forward and try not to think about him.

Just like he said at the meeting, at worst we can quit, it's not a big deal!

Back at his workstation, Chen Mo turned on his computer and started processing work emails, but unexpectedly received a message of concern from Lin Wei on WeChat.

I also greatly admire his performance at the meeting this morning.

Chen Mo replied, "Thank you."

Fortunately, my project is finally back on track.

He felt a little more at ease.

Before leaving get off work, Chen Mo received a WeChat message from Su Xiao.

Su Xiao: [Chen Mo, are you done with your work?]

Chen Mo smiled and replied: 【Just finished working. What, you want to treat me to dinner again for advice?】

Su Xiao: [Smart! But today's mission isn't about seeking knowledge, it's about repaying a debt.]

The inspiration you provided last time helped me write very smoothly, and the editors all said it was great.

So, I really must thank you!

Chen Mo: [Sure, might as well eat it. Time and place?]

Su Xiao: [The usual place, that Japanese restaurant, 7 PM.]

Chen Mo: [Okay, see you in a bit.]
