Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 800 All gone

When Chen Wei arrived, Zhou Zheng was standing at the door of the computer room, with a hypocritical look of regret on his face: "What a pity, I heard that Director Chen worked on the algorithm model for half a month, and now it's all gone?" Chen Wei bent down to pick up the USB flash drive on the ground, the metal shell still had residual warmth. She suddenly smiled: "Director Zhou cares so much about the technical department, why don't you help find this?" In the USB flash drive was a recording of a private call between the marketing department and a competing company. Zhou Zheng's smile froze instantly. He didn't expect that the spy he had planted in the technical department had already been used by Chen Wei. The data crisis ended with the company launching a backup plan, but the conflict between the two factions was completely heated. Zhou Zheng began to win over the sales department and the finance department, using quarterly bonuses and promotion opportunities in exchange for support; Chen Wei led the technical backbone to work overtime frequently, developed a more stable system version, and obtained two patents. At the board of directors, the two factions had a fierce confrontation over the dominance of the project. Zhou Zheng showed market research data to prove that early launch could grab 60% of the market share; Chen Wei showed a third-party agency's risk assessment report, pointing out that a hasty launch could lead to a 30% surge in user churn. "Enough!" CEO Lin Yuan slammed the table, and the conference room fell into silence. "I have decided to set up a joint project team, with Zhou Zheng and Chen Wei in charge." He scanned the room with a sharp gaze, "Remember, the company does not need factional struggles, only results." However, under the surface of peace, there was a turbulent undercurrent. At the joint project team meeting, the two sides could never reach an agreement on their plans; when allocating resources, the marketing department and the technical department always hindered each other. To make matters worse, the competitor's products were launched ahead of schedule, and they quickly occupied the market with their first-mover advantage, and Tianqi Technology's stock price began to plummet. At the critical moment, Lin Yuan called Zhou Zheng and Chen Wei into the office. He threw out a resignation report, which was written by the poached Zhang Gong. The report detailed the various behaviors of the two factions in order to suppress each other, deliberately delaying the project progress and leaking commercial secrets. "Look at what you have done!" Lin Yuan was furious. "The company trained you, not to let you engage in internal friction!" He threw a restructuring plan on the table. "From today on, the independent establishment of the marketing department and the technical department will be cancelled, and the comprehensive business department will be established. Zhou Zheng and Chen Wei will be demoted to deputy directors and will serve their crimes." Walking out of the office, Zhou Zheng and Chen Wei looked at each other, and saw reluctance and regret in each other's eyes. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the corridor, and they suddenly realized that no one won in the factional struggle that lasted for several months. In the days that followed, the two had to put aside their prejudices and start real cooperation. They visited customers together to collect market feedback; they jointly led the team to overcome technical difficulties and optimize product performance. In this process, Zhou Zheng gradually understood the importance of technology, and Chen Wei also understood the guiding significance of market demand for products. Three months later, Tianqi Technology's newly upgraded intelligent education system was officially launched. With its excellent performance and precise market positioning, the product quickly gained user recognition, and the company's stock price began to rise. At the celebration banquet, Zhou Zheng raised his glass and walked towards Chen Wei: "Maybe we should have done this earlier." Chen Wei smiled and clinked glasses. The bright neon lights outside the window illuminated the two figures who were once at loggerheads but now fighting side by side. However, workplace struggles never really disappear. Just as the company was gradually getting on track, news of new personnel changes came, and a mysterious executive was about to be airborne. Zhou Zheng and Chen Wei looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes. They knew that a new round of challenges and struggles might have quietly begun in the dark, but this time, they decided not to waste their energy, but to work together to deal with the unknown crisis.

Spring Seaside Adventure The April wind, wrapped in the sweet scent of cherry blossoms, gently lifted Wang Hua's curtains. He looked at the pile of documents on his desk, and then glanced at the small sun on the weather forecast APP on his phone, which represented a sunny day, and finally made up his mind to take a year off. When the high-speed train slowly drove out of the city, he looked at the steel and concrete that were rapidly receding outside the window, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed. Three hours later, Wang Hua dragged his suitcase and stepped on the fine sand of Silver Beach. In the distance, waves rushed to the shore one after another, breaking into countless crystal water droplets. The salty and humid sea breeze penetrated into his nose, bringing a fresh breath that was completely different from the city. He took a deep breath, checked in at the homestay, and after a simple packing, he couldn't wait to run to the beach. On the beach, a dark-skinned young man was skillfully adjusting his surfboard. He wore sunglasses, and there was always an unruly smile on the corner of his mouth. His bronze muscles glowed with a healthy luster in the sun. Seeing Wang Hua staring at the surfboard in a trance, the young man took the initiative to speak: "Brother, do you want to try surfing? I will teach you! My name is Alang, the best surfing coach in this sea area!" Wang Hua hesitated: "I have never tried it before, can I do it?" Alang patted his shoulder: "Don't worry! As long as you are not afraid of drinking a few mouthfuls of sea water, I guarantee that you will fall in love with this sport!" As he said, he began to patiently explain the basic essentials of surfing, from how to keep balance on the surfboard to how to observe the waves and grasp the timing of getting up. Under Alang's guidance, Wang Hua climbed onto the surfboard tremblingly. A small wave came, and he tried to get up in a hurry, but fell into the sea with a "plop". Wang Hua, who choked on several mouthfuls of sea water, climbed up awkwardly, but Alang laughed: "Not bad, you can hold on for three seconds the first time! Try again!" In this way, with Alang's encouragement, Wang Hua tried again and again, and finally successfully stood on the surfboard at sunset. Rushing forward in the last ray of sunshine, he felt like he had conquered the entire sea, leaving all the pressure and worries behind. Coming out of the sea, Wang Hua was soaked and was about to go back to the B&B to change clothes. At this time, a gray-haired old lady passed by him holding a drawing board. The unfinished seascape painting on the easel was colorful and full of vitality.

The old lady noticed Wang Hua's gaze and said with a smile: "Young man, do you like painting?" Wang Hua scratched his head: "I don't quite understand, but I think your painting is really good, and it captures the beauty of this sea." The old lady's name is Zhou Yun, a retired teacher who comes to the beach to sketch every spring. She enthusiastically invited Wang Hua to be her "temporary model", saying that his wet hair and bright smile are very story-telling. Wang Hua readily agreed, sat on the beach, watched Zhou Yun outline his own outline with a brush, and listened to her tell the interesting stories of her travels around the world in recent years.

"You know what?" Zhou Yun said while adjusting the colors, "The meaning of travel is not how many places you visit, but the people you meet and the stories that happen. Every encounter is a gift from fate to us." Her words made Wang Hua fall into deep thought. He suddenly realized that he was always buried in work and missed too many beautiful things in life.
