Chapter 114: Technical Consultant, CTO

Monday, May 8, 2023. Sunny, 12~26°C.

Lin Jin Building, Jinxiu Trading, HR & Administrative Office.

"Yes, Chairman Ren! Tang Song himself explicitly refused our invitation. I have already raised the annual salary to the limit. I also mentioned stock option incentives, but the other party is completely uninterested."

"The layoffs at that time... were decided after Director Chen and President Li communicated. Of course, after all, he was just an ordinary developer, so I agreed."

"It is indeed my problem, as I didn't have a clear understanding of the situation of the employees in the technical department."

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Lin hung up the phone, her face looking very ugly.

She originally thought that with Tang Song's repeated refusals, this matter would come to an end.

At most, the people involved in this matter would take some blame, and a new CTO would be selected, which would soon subside.

She didn't expect the board of directors to be so concerned.

Last Friday, a working group was established, and they had talks with all the employees of the Technical Support Department.

On the first day of work this week, Feng Zong Zhongping and Chairman Ren Huining called her one after another, their tones very serious.

Some previous problems had been exposed one after another, such as the development of the SCM system, Tang Song's technical level, and the unfair treatment he encountered.

Xu Lin licked her dry lips, her face turning a bit pale; she had an intuition that something was really going to happen.

Smile Capital wasn't a little lamb, but a real tiger. They might not have no plans to replace the people in the two important departments of HR and Finance.

Now that there was such a good excuse, she was the first to bear the brunt.

Tian Jing, sitting in the corner, stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit disappointed.

Tang Song was really something; how good would it be to return to the company as CTO.

Since the holidays, the company had changed a lot, and it was a mess.

As the compensation supervisor, she was busy to death every day, and she was even working overtime yesterday; she had no time to find Tang Song to learn guitar.

However, she did specifically buy one. Later, when there was no one at home, she could let him come to her house to play and teach her fingerstyle.

Thinking of this, she bit her lip, feeling itchy in her heart.

She shook her head and threw those messy thoughts away.

Tian Jing picked up her phone and opened WeChat.

First, she sent a message to Tang Song, telling him about the current situation of the Technical Support Department.

Then she opened the lively "Secondary Beauty" group chat.

Big shot Qingqing was telling everyone about her recent dynamics.

In the process of providing legal aid to that clothing company, she was harassed and pursued by a company executive. The woman behind it was that woman, and she even took a few photos of them eating and drinking together.

Her CEO lover was furious and directly acquired the shares of that clothing company, becoming the major shareholder, making that executive kneel and beg for mercy.

However, in this process, they also had a fierce quarrel...

The CEO even threatened to make her law firm go bankrupt and make Qingqing obediently be his pet alone.

Seeing such a tortuous and bizarre experience, Tian Jing's eyes sparkled.

She began to offer advice in the group.

Although she was a rookie in terms of emotions, she loved to join in on this kind of excitement.

"Knock knock knock—" The office door was knocked.

Tian Jing quickly sat upright, looking at the Excel file on the computer meticulously.

Immediately after, the Chairman's assistant walked in and said: "Director Xu, a leadership meeting will be held at 10:00 AM in the large conference room. Please be sure to attend."

Xu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said: "Okay, I'll prepare."

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The phone vibrated crazily.

Tang Song signaled to his colleagues and turned to walk out of the conference room.

He answered the phone.

A somewhat familiar middle-aged male voice came from the other side, the tone very enthusiastic: "Hello, is this Tang Song? Haha, I am Feng Zhongping."

"Hello, Feng Zong." Tang Song's eyes widened a bit, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He had a very good impression of this CEO of Jinxiu Trading.

A master's degree holder who returned from overseas in his 40s, he had many years of overseas work experience, was energetic every day, a workaholic in name and reality, and the good benefits of Jinxiu Trading were also raised after he took office.

He had an excellent reputation and was a very competent president.

Feng Zhongping said in a friendly tone: "Tang Song, regarding the previous SCM system and Chen Yunqiang's matter, I have already understood it clearly. I am very sorry that you received such unfair treatment. The company will handle this matter well. I also apologize to you on behalf of the company."

"Thank you, Feng Zong. Jinxiu Trading is a good company, and I have always been grateful." He personally had no opinion on Jinxiu Trading.

Humanized management, stable work, and good salary and benefits.

"That's good. Calling you this time is actually to invite you to serve as the company's technical consultant and part-time CTO, with the salary executed according to formal employees." Feng Zhongping paused, waiting for Tang Song to digest his words, and continued: "Chen Yunqiang violated the company's rules and regulations and is currently going through the resignation process. We will recruit a new director for the Technical Support Business Department, and you only need to be responsible for controlling the general direction."

Tang Song was stunned; another part-time job?

However, this so-called technical consultant was obviously just a name; after all, there was a dedicated director responsible for specific business.

Such good benefits and such outrageous conditions were 100% the result of Smile Capital exerting force, forcing the board of directors to make compromises.

Perhaps it was even instructed by Secretary Jin.

After thinking about it, Tang Song said: "Okay, Feng Zong, I agree to serve as the company's technical consultant."

Smile Capital was now a shareholder of the company, so it could barely be considered his own enterprise; taking advantage of it didn't matter.

Feng Zhongping didn't seem surprised by this and said gently: "Then let's do that for now. When you have time, come to the company to sign the contract.

Also, for the candidate for the new director, we have already entrusted Deju Renhe to recruit.

Your corporate email has been reactivated, and candidate information will be sent to your email synchronously. If you have any opinions, you can put them forward at any time."

"Okay, thank you, Feng Zong, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Song shook his head and smiled, turning back to the conference room: "Come on, let's continue the meeting."

Gao Mengting turned the PPT to the next page and said: "Streamer assistant He Liting, 23 years old this year, has two years of work experience, her figure and appearance conditions are very good, occasionally appears on camera as a co-host, has strong reaction ability, and is good at adjusting the livestreaming atmosphere..."

After introducing the last candidate, Gao Mengting said: "The above 6 people are all the members of the women's clothing category group of Changyun Media. Currently, Bocai Yingrui has reached an agreement with them, and it is confirmed that they will all join."

Tang Song looked at the team list and smiled: "They are all very good. With such a mature sales team, our livestreaming should soon be on the right track."

Gao Mengting said with some worry: "The only problem now is the resignation time. Except for operations Liu Renjie who has already resigned, others may be dragged by Changyun Media."

Poaching an entire team from someone else, the company leadership will definitely have a temper, and it might drag on for 1 month before letting them go.

"It doesn't matter, believe in Bocai Yingrui!" Tang Song said firmly: "If they say they can recruit fully this week, then there is absolutely no problem."

Looking at Tang Song's confident appearance, Gao Mengting also breathed a sigh of relief; she trusted her partner 100%.

Jinxiu Trading.

After the leadership meeting, 3 notifications appeared in the employees' corporate emails.

Former HR Director Xu Lin was transferred to the position of Supervisor of HR Planning and Development, and the new director would join tomorrow.

Former Technical Support Director Chen Yunqiang had resigned, and the new Technical Support Business Department Manager would join next week...

Tang Song officially served as the company's technical consultant and concurrently as CTO, fully responsible for the company's technical team.

HR & Administrative Office.

Xu Lin sat at her desk in a daze, feeling that she had become an abandoned pawn in the game of capital, encountering an unprovoked disaster.

Liu Huihui's eyes flickered, and she quickly sent a WeChat message to Tang Song, congratulating him on his promotion and salary increase, and becoming CTO.

Tian Jing tried her best not to laugh "haha" out loud, her brain already unable to stop running wild.

The office area where the Technical Support Department was located.

Du Shaokai was grimacing, sitting uneasily, feeling like he had been screwed by a dog; he never expected things to develop to this point.

As things stood, he could only resign or transfer.

If he continued to stay in the Technical Support Department, maybe tomorrow "duang~" he would receive a new requirement to independently develop a Taobao website.

Now that Jinxiu Trading was about to take off, many shareholders and executives wanted to stuff people in, and there was Tian Jing, the rich girl, waiting for him to pursue; he was really unwilling to resign.

The only thing left was to transfer. His uncle was the Vice President in charge of channel business, and his position was one level higher than Tang Song, the part-time CTO. As long as he transferred to the Channel Business Department, he thought he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Hu Mingli's face was flushed, her whole body trembling with excitement, as if she had reached some peak.

She directly raised her phone, took a picture of her colleagues' reactions, and shared it with Tang Song: "President Tang, as your absolute confidant, I will help you supervise the entire team. Also, regarding Wen Ruan, don't worry, I will share any intelligence with you immediately."

After sending the message, she took a screenshot of the email to the bestie group.

She left a message: "@Zhuangzhuang, Tang Song is amazing! He is now the CTO of our company, my big leader, with an annual salary starting at 500,000."

Although she knew Tang Song had money at home, drove a 400,000 BMW, and started his own business, the shock was far less than that of a 25-year-old company executive.

Jinxiu Trading was the leader in Yancheng's clothing industry. With the addition of Smile Capital, Tang Song's future was limitless.

【Zhang Ziqi: "A 25-year-old CTO, good family conditions, tall and handsome, this is already the ceiling for ordinary people. @Zhuangzhuang, you really have dog-shit luck, I'm so jealous."】

【Zhang Ziqi: "Don't forget me when you get rich, the sister's future depends on you covering me."】

Hu Mingli gritted her teeth and replied: "Zhuangzhuang, don't forget, he was introduced to you by me! You have to be responsible for me!"

At almost 28, she was just at the age suitable for marriage and childbirth, and she was still in a low-level technical position; it would be especially difficult to find a job in the future.

And she didn't have the ability or connections to transfer to a management position, so she had always been anxious.

Equally anxious were her two besties, Wen Ruan and Zhang Ziqi, who were about the same age.

Now that hope was right in front of them, how could they not be excited.

"Ding-dong—"

【Wen Ruan: "I'm going home to change clothes."】 ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
