Technical Consultant, CTO

May 8, 2023, Monday, sunny, 12~26°C.

Linjin Building, Brocade Business, Human Resources and Administration Office.

"Yes, Chairman Ren! Tang Song himself has explicitly rejected our invitation. I have already increased his annual salary to the maximum. I have also mentioned Stock Options options, but he is completely uninterested."

"The layoffs at that time... were decided after discussions between Director Chen and Manager Li. Of course, since I was just an ordinary developer, I agreed to it."

"It was indeed my fault; I didn't have a clear understanding of the situation of the technical department staff."

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Lin hung up the phone, her face extremely pale.

I originally thought that this matter would end there after Tang Song's repeated rejections.

At most, the person who handled this matter will suffer some consequences, a new CTO will be selected, and things will calm down soon.

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

Working Group was established last Friday, and a meeting was held with all staff in the Technical Support Department.

On her first day back at work this week, President Feng Zhongping and Chairman Ren Huining called her one after the other, their tone very serious.

Some problems have already surfaced, such as the development of the scm System, the technical level of Tang Song, and the unfair treatment they have encountered.

Xu Lin licked her dry lips, her face pale. She had a feeling that something bad might really happen.

Smiling Capital is no lamb, but a real tiger. They may well be planning to replace the key personnel in their HR and finance departments.

Now that I have such a good excuse, I should be the first to take the blame.

Sitting in the corner, Tian Jing stuck out her tongue, somewhat disappointed.

Tang Song is really something else; it would be so much better if he went back to the company and became the CTO.

The company has undergone a lot of changes since the holiday, and things are in complete chaos.

She's a payroll manager and she's incredibly busy every day. She was working overtime yesterday and didn't have time to ask Tang Song.

However, she did buy one specifically so that when no one is home, he can come over to play and teach her finger techniques.

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

I shook my head, trying to clear my mind of those random thoughts.

Tian Jing picked up her Mobile Phone and opened WeChat.

I first sent a message to Tang Song, explaining the current situation of the Technical Support Department.

Then, the lively "The Beauty of a Second Chance" group chat was opened.

Boss Qing Qing is talking about her recent activities.

While providing legal aid to that clothing company, I was harassed and pursued by a senior executive of the company. The woman behind it all was that she even took several photos of them eating and drinking together.

Enraged, his mistress, the CEO, directly acquired the shares of the clothing company, becoming its major shareholder and forcing the executive to kneel and beg for mercy.

However, during this process, a heated argument also broke out between them...

The CEO even threatened to shut down her law firm so that Qing Qing would become his pet.

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

They started offering suggestions and advice in the group chat.

Although she's a complete novice when it comes to relationships, she loves to join in on these kinds of fun.

"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the office door.

Tian Jing immediately sat up straight and began to meticulously examine the Excel file on her computer.

Immediately afterwards, the Chairman's Assistant walked in and said, "Director Xu, there will be a leadership meeting at 10 o'clock in the main conference room. Please make sure you attend."

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

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone vibrated wildly.

Tang Song's colleagues gestured to each other, then turned and left the meeting room.

The call was connected.

A somewhat familiar middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the line, his tone very enthusiastic. "Hello, is this Tang Song? Haha, this is Feng Zhongping."

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

He had a very good impression of the CEO of Brocade Business.

A master's graduate in his forties with many years of overseas work experience, Abundant Energy every day and is a true workaholic. The good treatment at Brocade Business was brought about after he took office.

He has an excellent reputation and is a very competent president.

Feng Zhongping said in a friendly tone, "Tang Song, I have a clear understanding of the scm System and Chen Yunqiang's matter. I am very sorry that you have been treated so unfairly. The company will handle this matter properly. I also apologize to you on behalf of the company."

"Thank you, Mr. Feng. Brocade Business is a good company, and I am always grateful to it." He himself has no complaints about Brocade Business.

Humane management, stable employment, and good salary and benefits.

"That's good. The reason I called you this time was to invite you to be the company's Technical Consultant, part-time CTO, with salary as a full-time employee." Feng Zhongping paused, waiting for Tang Song to process his words, before continuing, "Chen Yunqiang violated company rules and regulations and is currently going through the resignation process. We will be recruiting a new director for the Technical Support Division, and you will only need to be responsible for overseeing the overall direction."

Tang Song was stunned. Another part-time job?

However, this so-called Technical Consultant is clearly just a figurehead, since there is a dedicated director in charge of the actual business.

Such generous treatment and outrageous terms are undoubtedly the result of Smiling Capital's efforts to force the board to make compromises.

It might have been at Secretary Jin.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Song said, "Okay, Mr. Feng, I agree to serve as the company's Technical Consultant."

Smiling Capital is now a shareholder of the company, so it can be considered their own business, and there's nothing wrong with them taking a little advantage.

Feng Zhongping seemed unsurprised by this and said gently, "Then let's leave it at that for now. Come to the company to sign the contract when you have time."

We have also entrusted De Ju Ren He to recruit a new director.

Your corporate email account has been reactivated. Candidate information will be sent to your email address. Please feel free to provide any feedback.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Feng. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Song shook his head and chuckled, then turned and went back to the conference room. "Come on, let's continue the meeting."

Gao Mengting turned to the next slide of the PPT and said, "Host assistant He Liting is 23 years old this year, has two years of work experience, has a great figure and looks, occasionally appears on camera as a co-anchor, has quick reflexes, and is good at creating a lively atmosphere during the live broadcast..."

After introducing the last candidate, Gao Mengting said, "These six are all the members of the women's clothing category team at Changyun Media. Bocai Yingrui has already reached an agreement with them, and it is confirmed that they will all join the company."

Looking at the team list, Tang Song smiled and said, "They're all very good. With such a mature sales team, our live streaming should be on track very soon."

Gao Mengting said with some concern, "The only problem now is the timing of our departure. Apart from Liu Renjie, who has already left the operations department, the others may be held back by Changyun Media."

If you poach someone's entire team, the company leaders will definitely be upset, and they might delay releasing them for a month.

"It's alright, trust Bocai Yingrui!" Tang Song said confidently, "They said they can recruit all the staff this week, so there's absolutely no problem."

Seeing Tang Song's confident demeanor, Gao Mengting breathed a sigh of relief. She had complete trust in her partner.

Brocade Business.

After the high-level meeting, three notifications appeared in the employees' corporate email inboxes.

Xu Lin, the former director of the Human Resources Department, has been transferred to the position of head of the Human Resources Planning and Development Department. The new director will start work tomorrow.

Former Technical Support Department Director Chen Yunqiang has resigned, and the new Technical Support Division Manager will start next week...

Tang Song officially assumed the role of Technical Consultant and CTO, taking full responsibility for the company's technical team.

Human Resources Administration Office.

Xu Lin sat dejectedly at her workstation, feeling like she had become a pawn in the power struggle between capital and had suffered an undeserved disaster.

Liu Huihui's eyes sparkled, and she quickly sent Tang Song a WeChat congratulating him on his promotion, raise, and appointment as CTO.

Tian Jing forced herself not to laugh out loud, but her mind was already wandering with all sorts of thoughts.

The office area where the Technical Support Department is located.

Du Shaokai grimaced and fidgeted, feeling like he'd been screwed over; he never imagined things would escalate to this point.

At this point, the only options are to resign or be reassigned.

I'll stay in the Technical Support Department. Who knows, tomorrow "duang~" I'll receive a new requirement: to independently develop a Taobao.

Now that Brocade Business is about to take off, many shareholders and executives want to put people in there, and Tian Jing, Bai Fumei, is waiting for him to pursue her. He is really unwilling to leave.

The only option left is a job transfer. My uncle is the vice president in charge of channel business, which is a level higher than Tang Song's part-time CTO position. As long as I am transferred to the Channel Business Department, he probably can't do anything about it.

Hu Mingli's face flushed, and she trembled with excitement, as if she had reached a climax.

He immediately raised his Mobile Phone, took a picture of his colleagues' reactions, and shared it with Tang Song: "Mr. Tang, as your absolute confidant, I will help you supervise the entire team. And as for Wen Ruan, don't worry, I will share any information with you immediately."

After sending the message, she also took a screenshot of the Email and sent it to her best friends' group chat.

The comment read, "Zhuangzhuang, Tang Song is amazing! He's now our company's CTO, my High-ranking official, with an annual salary starting at 500,000."

Although I knew that Tang Song's family was wealthy, that he drove a BMW worth 400,000 yuan and started his own business, the shock was far less than that of a 25-year-old company executive.

Brocade Business is a leading company in Yancheng's garment industry. With the addition of Smiling Capital, Tang Song's future is limitless.

Zhang Ziqi: "A 25-year-old CTO, with a good family background, tall and handsome, is already the ceiling for ordinary people. Zhuangzhuang, you are so lucky. I'm so jealous."

Zhang Ziqi: "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me. My future depends on you."

Hu Mingli gritted her teeth and replied, "Zhuangzhuang, don't forget, I'm the one who introduced him to you! You have to take responsibility for me!"

She's almost 28, which is the perfect age for marriage and childbearing, but she's still in a low-level technical position, so finding a job in the future will be extremely difficult.

She lacked the ability and connections to transfer to a management position, which caused her a lot of anxiety.

She shared the same anxiety as her two best friends, Wen Ruan and Zhang Ziqi, who were around the same age.

Now that hope is within reach, how can I not be excited?

"Ding-dong—"

Wen Ruan: "I'm going home to change my clothes."
