Chapter 99: Chief Technology Officer Tang Song

Jinxiu Trading.

As the board meeting proceeded, the company was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere.

The office area where the Technical Support Department was located.

The sound of keyboard typing was endless, and there were low discussions from time to time.

What they cared about most was the establishment of the business unit and who would get the few extra middle-management positions.

There were already clever people in the Technical Department's large group tagging @Chen Yunteng, congratulating Chen Zong on his promotion to CTO in advance.

Du Shaokai was chatting in the group while talking to colleagues next to him, in a very good mood.

Once Chen Zong was stable here, he could take advantage of the situation to take over the other party's position as back-end supervisor.

Not only would his salary increase significantly, but future work could also be arranged for his subordinates; he would just be a manager, which was very relaxing.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that at the villa party the night before yesterday, the guitar singing he performed didn't get any feedback from Tian Jing.

The other party even wore Bluetooth headphones the whole time and didn't pay attention to him at all.

For the gifts he tried his best to send, the other party only reluctantly accepted the cheap perfume, and she didn't accept the slightly more expensive card holder at all.

Du Shaokai used to despise "lickers," but now he felt sorry for himself.

In the director's office.

Chen Yunteng sat quietly at his workstation, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.

His fingers and legs twitching from time to time proved that he was not calm at the moment.

Looking at the flattery of the employees in the department group, he didn't reply, maintaining his high-cold leader posture, but his heart couldn't help but start imagining.

This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for him.

Jinxiu Trading was a traditional enterprise and didn't attach much importance to the technical department.

So he, the director, was also concurrently serving as the back-end supervisor, occasionally having to write code himself.

He had to go on stage when there was a demand, and he would be criticized and blamed by leaders when a major BUG appeared.

Now, with the intervention of capital, it would completely complete the transformation.

After becoming CTO, he would be a true senior management member and could participate in the company's major decision-making meetings.

In the future, it was even possible to go further and become the company's Vice President of Technology.

If he went further, he would enter the behemoth group of Smile Holdings!

Thinking of this, his heart was boiling with blood.

After working hard for so many years, he had finally reached this step; he must drink to celebrate tonight.

In the large conference room.

8 people sat at the oval long table.

In addition to the 5 directors, there were Supervisor Tian Chengye, President Feng Zhongping, and Executive Vice President Jiang Weiguo.

On the side, there were also two secretary assistants responsible for meeting minutes.

Since many decisions were agreed upon before the investment, the meeting proceeded very smoothly.

With the support of the large ecosystem of Smile Capital, the company's development was suddenly clear.

The 3 directors led by Chairman Ren Huining were all smiles, occasionally cracking a couple of jokes and chatting about the local specialty food of Yanjing.

The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

The meeting proceeded to the second half.

All directors began to nominate and vote on the "appointment of additional senior management personnel."

These people on the list were only here after being nominated internally by Jinxiu Trading and initially approved.

Now it was just going through the motions; as long as Smile Capital didn't have its own candidates, it was basically stable.

The appointment voting went very smoothly.

When it was the turn of the Technical Support Business Unit Manager and Chief Technology Officer candidates.

Director Liu said loudly: "Candidate Chen Yunteng is the original Technical Support Department Director, possessing a deep technical background, rich management experience, and over 10 years of technical work experience... proficient in multiple programming languages and technical frameworks... has led a team..."

After stating the candidate information, everyone turned their gaze to the two representative directors of Smile Capital, Fan Wenzeng and Liu Shunyu.

Fan Wenzeng had a gentle smile on his face and said: "Regarding the candidate for CTO, I also have a candidate I want to nominate."

Chairman Ren Huining said enthusiastically: "Director Fan, please speak. Let's discuss it together and see who is more suitable."

Fan Wenzeng looked at the document in his hand and said calmly: "I nominate Tang Song, a development engineer in the Technical Support Department of Jinxiu Trading."

As soon as the words fell, the company executives and directors present showed surprised expressions.

They had no impression of this name at all; he should be an ordinary employee in the department, and he hadn't made any outstanding performance.

Only Executive Vice President Jiang Weiguo showed a thoughtful expression; he was responsible for the company's daily affairs and was a bit familiar with this name.

He vaguely remembered seeing this name some time ago, but he had been too busy recently and had too many things to do, so he couldn't quite remember.

Fan Wenzeng continued: "Tang Song entered Jinxiu Trading last November. The company he worked for in the Imperial Capital before was also an enterprise controlled by our group, and leaders and colleagues highly praised his personal ability.

At the same time, we entrusted Deju Renhe to conduct a detailed background check on him. His technical level...

I believe that under his leadership, the technical team will radiate more vigorous vitality and inject new impetus into the company's development."

Fan Wenzeng spoke unhurriedly, his gaze calmly scanning the people present.

The directors exchanged a few words, and this nomination passed without any waves.

After all, there was the dual certification of Deju Renhe + Smile Capital, and looking at the tone and attitude of this Director Fan, this matter was unquestionable; they couldn't help but give face.

As the time approached noon, the board meeting basically ended.

The list of several new executives added at the meeting gradually spread in various groups.

Most of them were within expectations, after all, they had already passed the initial review before.

However, with the appearance of the words "Chief Technology Officer Tang Song," it instantly caused a huge sensation.

HR Director Xu Lin saw this news for the first time and learned the details of the meeting nomination. Her brain "buzzed," and she hurriedly ran toward the conference room.

Tang Song submitted his resignation on April 24, and his contract termination date was April 30, with a May Day holiday in between.

When Smile Capital received the employee list, Tang Song was still in an on-the-job state.

This was a huge blunder, and if things went wrong, something big would happen! As the HR Director, she would bear the brunt!

Watching the director leave, Tian Jing, sitting at her workstation, blinked her big eyes, unable to understand how the board of directors could let Tang Song be CTO.

Although his hands were beautiful, he was very handsome, and his guitar playing was super great.

But this was not a bad thing; if Tang Song could really come back to be CTO, then they could meet every day.

By then she could...

Hehehe!

Tian Jing's face flushed.

She opened the "Two-Dimensional Beauty" group chat, wanting to show off this news in the group.

Then she saw that the great lawyer Qingqing was sharing her recent experiences again.

【Qingqing: "Next, I will take several lawyers under me to a top domestic clothing company to provide them with legal aid. However, I can feel that this case is not simple; there seems to be the shadow of that woman behind it."】

Seeing this latest news, Tian Jing's heart tightened.

She hurriedly asked: "@Qingqing, is that the white moonlight of your CEO boyfriend? She's back from America!?"

"How is that possible? Tang Song has already resigned, and besides, he was just an ordinary employee before."

"Is it a mistake?"

"Could it be that Tang Song was rehired? And became the leader of our department!"

"Impossible!"

In the office area of the Technical Department, everyone who got the news was full of disbelief.

As employees in the same department as Tang Song, they were the ones who knew the ins and outs of the matter best.

Tang Song was fired because he offended Chen Zong; how did he become CTO in the blink of an eye?

Only Guo Peng and Hu Mingli were both surprised and happy; no one didn't want a promotion and a raise, and an independent business unit manager had this right.

Du Shaokai's face changed violently, feeling difficulty breathing and his whole body cold.

After hesitating for a while, he walked quickly toward the director's office.

"Dong dong dong—" He knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no reply from inside.

"Chen Zong." Du Shaokai pushed open a crack, and then he saw Chen Yunteng, whose face was ashen, and his heart also cooled by half.

Something really happened!

Yanjing Tiancheng residential complex, inside the large open-plan apartment.

"Ding ling ling—" The phone rang suddenly.

Tang Song sat up from the soft big bed and glanced at it.

It was an unfamiliar phone number.

He answered the call.

A somewhat familiar female voice came from the receiver, with a gentle tone: "Hello, Little Song, sorry to bother you. I am Xu Lin, HR Director of Jinxiu Trading. I have something important to talk to you about now."

Tang Song raised his eyebrows, seemingly thinking of something, and said calmly: "Please speak, Director Xu."

"It's like this. Regarding your salary reduction and layoff a few days ago, there were some misunderstandings, which have now been cleared up. The company's big leaders highly recognize your ability and character and hope you can return to our big family of Jinxiu Trading."

"No need, Director Xu, I'm not interested."

Hearing the decisiveness in Tang Song's words, Xu Lin's tone became more urgent: "After returning, your position will be promoted to Technical Support Business Unit Manager, concurrently serving as the company's Chief Technology Officer. I believe you won't get this treatment at any other company. Our company is very sincere about you!"

"Manager, Chief Technology Officer?" Tang Song asked curiously: "What about Director Chen?"

He knew that Chen Yunteng's dream had always been to be promoted to CTO. For this reason, he had monopolized the credit for the SCM system he had built.

"Uh... after the department structure adjustment, he is currently just the team leader of the back-end group. Regarding his future position arrangement, if you have any ideas, you can also put them forward, and we will consider them carefully."

Xu Lin's tone was a bit weak, because Tang Song's layoff was caused by Chen Yunteng and her.

Tang Song chuckled and said lightly: "Thanks for the leader's recognition, but let's forget it."

"Uh, maybe I didn't express it clearly. After you return, you will be a senior executive of the company, with an annual salary of over 400,000 and stock option rewards."

"No need, I have things to do, goodbye."

After speaking, Tang Song hung up the phone directly.

Through Xu Lin's call, he also instantly understood that it must be Smile Capital exerting pressure, which was why they wanted to invite him back.

Otherwise, why would a small ordinary employee be so worthy, and why would the company leaders be so humble.

Thinking of this, Tang Song couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He hadn't forgotten Chen Yunteng's dirty face from more than a month ago.

He stole his credit, drew a big cake for him, and ended up suppressing him with a salary reduction.

Now it could be considered a small revenge.

Picking up the photo at hand and looking at it, Tang Song couldn't help but kiss Jin Mi Shu's side profile.

Jin Mi Shu, you really still love me!

In the game, he obtained the UR (Ultra Rare) character 【Jin Meixiao】 through a newbie gift pack and card drawing.

Then he could interact and communicate with her.

Unexpectedly, in reality, it was through such a magical and dreamy way as dreams.

But then again, when the game plot started, he was still in his third year of high school.

And Jin Mi Shu, as a proud daughter of heaven, was already a senior in the Economics Department at Harvard University, holding offers from top investment banks like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

If it weren't for this kind of mysterious thing, what capital would he have to get in touch with her?

Not to mention gaining her trust and turning his foresight advantage into cash.

Speaking of which, his first pot of gold in the game was also obtained by Jin Mi Shu helping him from the foreign stock and futures markets, using her own money. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
