Chapter 98: Chief Technology Officer Tang Song

Jinxiu Trading.

As the board meeting progressed, an atmosphere of tension and excitement permeated the company.

The office area where the Technical Support Department was located.

The sound of keyboard tapping was incessant, and there were low discussions from time to time.

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

There were already clever people @Chen Yunteng in the large technology department group, congratulating President Chen in advance on his promotion to CTO.

Du Shaokai was chatting with colleagues while surfing the group, in a very good mood.

Once President Chen was stable here, he could take over the other party's position as backend supervisor.

Not only would his salary increase significantly, but future work could also be arranged for subordinates, so he could just be a manager—how relaxing.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that at the villa party the night before last, his guitar performance 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 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.

The fingers and legs that twitched 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 cold leader posture, but his heart couldn't help but imagine.

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

Jinxiu Trading was a traditional enterprise and didn't value the technical department much.

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

He had to go on stage when there were demands, and he would be criticized and blamed by leaders when major bugs 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 major company decision-making meetings.

In the future, it was even possible to go further and become the company's technical vice president.

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

Thinking of this, his heart was boiling with blood.

After working hard for so many years, he 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 were two secretary assistants responsible for meeting minutes.

Because many decisions were agreed upon before the investment, the meeting went very smoothly.

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

The 3 directors led by Chairman Ren Hui ning were all smiles, occasionally making jokes and chatting about local delicacies in Yancheng.

The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

The meeting progressed to the second half.

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

These people on the list were all nominated internally by Jinxiu Trading and appeared here after preliminary approval.

Now it was just a process; as long as Smile Capital didn't have its own candidates, it was basically stable.

The appointment vote went very smoothly.

When it came to the candidates for the Technical Support Business Unit Manager and Chief Technology Officer.

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

After stating the candidate information, everyone looked at 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: "Please speak, Director Fan, let's discuss together and see who is more suitable."

Fan Wenzeng looked at the documents 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 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 remember it.

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. 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 power 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 it 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 expected, after all, they had already passed the preliminary review.

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 the job.

This was a huge blunder, and something big might happen! She, the HR director, 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 the CTO.

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

But this was not a bad thing. If Tang Song could really come back as CTO, then they could meet every day.

By then she could...

Hehehe!

Tian Jing’s face turned red.

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

Then she saw the great lawyer Qingqing 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 it the white moonlight of your president boyfriend? Did she come back from America!?"

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

"Did you make a mistake?"

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

"Impossible!"

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

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

Tang Song was fired because he offended President Chen. 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 salary increase, and an independent business unit manager had this right.

Du Shaokai’s face changed violently, feeling difficulty breathing and cold all over.

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

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

"President Chen." Du Shaokai pushed open a crack, and then he saw Chen Yunteng, who was as pale as earth, and his heart cooled by half.

Something really happened!

Yanjing Tiancheng residential complex, inside the large flat.

"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 phone.

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

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

Hearing the determination 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 even monopolized the credit for the SCM system he made.

"Uh... after the department structure adjustment, he is currently only the team leader of the backend 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 the matter of Tang Song being laid off was caused by Chen Yunteng and her.

Tang Song chuckled and said lightly: "Thanks for the leader's recognition, but 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, plus 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 applying pressure, which was why they wanted to invite him back.

Otherwise, why would a small ordinary employee be so valuable, 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 the dirty face of Chen Yunteng more than a month ago.

He stole his credit, drew a big cake for him, and finally used salary reduction to suppress him.

Now it could be considered a small revenge.

Picking up the photo at hand, Tang Song couldn't help but kiss Secretary Jin’s side profile.

Secretary Jin, you really still love me!

In the game, he obtained the UR (Ultra Rare) character [Jin Meixiao] through the novice gift pack.

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

If it weren't for such mysterious things, what capital would he have to connect 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 helped by Secretary Jin from the foreign stock and futures markets, using her own money.
