When I woke up the next day, my drunkenness from last night had completely subsided. I still remembered everything that happened last night, and I was still extremely embarrassed until now.
By the time I got dressed and came out of the room, Zhou Mo had already gotten up and had even prepared breakfast.
Although the breakfast is not that rich, it is all made by her.
Sitting at the dining table, she said to me: "Anyway, I don't have a job now. From now on, I will make breakfast for you every morning. Don't go out to eat it. It's not hygienic."
"What a hassle! You can sleep a little longer, I can just go outside and have something to eat."
She smiled and said, "I'm used to getting up early, and I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just learn to make something for breakfast."
"I mean, I'm quite embarrassed."
"Don't feel embarrassed. I told you that since we are husband and wife, we have to live like a normal couple."
I was speechless again and kept my head down while eating.
She said to me again: "I have an appointment with a wedding photographer this afternoon. Do you have time?"
I was stunned for a moment before replying: "What time is it in the afternoon?"
"I made an appointment at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather is also good today."
I subconsciously looked outside the balcony. Sure enough, the sun was shining brightly, which is rare to see in winter.
I nodded and replied to her: "Okay, you can send me a location later, and I'll go there as soon as possible in the afternoon."
"No, I'll pick you up at your company."
"Trouble?"
She rolled her eyes at me and said, "Look, you're here again."
I touched my nose and found that I was not used to this kind of life.
But I know that I will gradually get used to this kind of life.
After breakfast, I was ready to go out to the company. The work on the new tender documents has not been completed recently, so I have to hurry up.
When we walked to the door, Zhou Mo suddenly ran over, handed me her car key and said, "You can drive there. It's not convenient to take the subway here."
"What about you? Aren't you going to go out later?"
"I can just take a taxi. It's more convenient for you to drive."
I took the car keys and she stopped me again: "Wait a minute."
I was wondering about something, so she raised her hands to help me straighten my collar, and then said to me with a smile: "Be more energetic."
I feel really uncomfortable with this feeling. Is this what life is like after marriage?
Not at all like I imagined, but I just felt like something was missing.
After driving to the company, we organized a meeting to discuss the bid documents because the bidding meeting was in two days.
Fortunately, Zhou Mo helped us buy time and gave us the opportunity to re-draw the bid document, otherwise we would have had no chance.
And I decided to make a desperate move and spend a lot of money to hire senior R&D personnel from abroad to come to the company to participate in the research and development of new energy. This is also the key to winning new energy projects.
At the meeting, I discussed this matter with everyone.
However, Engineer Yuan somewhat disapproved of my decision. This was the first time since the establishment of our project department that he disapproved of my decision.
He said to me: "Mr. Chen, I have a very presumptuous question, but I can't help but want to ask you."
I nodded to him and signaled him to say.
He slowly stood up and said: "Due to unexpected problems in the early stage of the bidding, the company's current situation is still quite severe. Although we have re-drawn the bidding document, to be honest, no one is 100% sure that we can win the bid.
This bid.”
After a slight pause, he continued: "What I'm curious about is that under such uncertain prospects, making a desperate decision to spend a lot of money to recruit R&D teams abroad may bring down the company."
After Yuan Gong said this, everyone began to express their agreement.
Even Gao Sheng said: "Yes! Boss, why didn't you discuss this matter with me?"
I did not discuss it with anyone else, including Gao Sheng, because this was decided together by An Lan and I.
This is indeed likely to bring down the company. You must know that the funds to hire a professional R&D team from abroad cannot be underestimated.
Today, the company's funds have not been unfrozen, and our existing assets have problems even supporting the group's daily expenses, let alone hiring a large R&D team.
But An Lan and I finally decided to do this after discussion.
There are two benefits: first, the R&D team joining the company will play a key role in the bidding conference; second, the R&D team and the company's technical team headed by Yuan Gong can mediate with each other.
To put it bluntly, there is a term in management called: checks and balances.
It means that two or more parties form a state of mutual restriction but maintain relative balance.
Once the core members of the R&D team enter the company, they will have the same position as Yuan Gong, and they can restrict each other and balance power.
However, what Yuan Gong said was his own opinion, and he did not want to suddenly join an organization at the same level as him at this time.
I have to say that it is indeed very difficult to answer this question. If I don’t answer well, I may offend engineers such as Yuan Gong.
Faced with everyone's doubts, I remained silent for a while and then said calmly: "About this issue, I want to tell you a true story first."
Everyone quieted down and looked at me with expectant eyes.
"When I was in college, there was a classmate in the class who went to pick up girls with 3,000 yuan. He first used 2,000 yuan to buy the girl a mobile phone. Then he left 1,000 yuan for food and renting a house, and finally rode a shared bicycle to find someone to express his love for.
Love, but the other party said, you are a good person, but we are really not suitable."
After a slight pause, I continued: "Later, a classmate from another class also fell in love with the girl. He only had 2,000 yuan, but he used 1,000 yuan to rent a Porsche sports car, and then went to the wholesale market to spend it.
He bought 99 roses for 500 yuan. He told the girl that he liked to go to a roadside stall romantically holding hands. After eating barbecue for 100 yuan, he spent 400 yuan to get an hourly room in a five-star hotel. That night
The girl slept with him, and it was because of love."
After hearing what I said, the conference room burst into laughter and everyone started talking with gusto.
After everyone was done laughing, I raised my hand and said, "Everyone, the story I'm telling you is actually just a joke. However, these are actually two different business models. Which model is chosen?
What kind of result is destined. Just like when we choose to join the R&D team, everyone must feel that we are trying to make a fool of ourselves, but what benefits will it actually bring to us?"
After saying that, I looked at the employee and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, what do you think?"
He was silent for a moment and then said: "I understand. Mr. Chen is right. The thinking pattern determines the outcome of the matter. I agree very much."
After saying that, Gao Sheng took the lead in applauding: "Well said, if it were me, I would choose to spend two thousand yuan to rent a sports car to let my sister feel the taste of love."
Everyone laughed. Originally this was a very serious meeting, but after I finished telling this joke, everyone's doubts were cleared up.
Yes, we are always influenced by traditional thinking in our decisions.
In fact, in shopping malls, we can often regard our goals as the object of pursuit. As long as we find ways to make this object fall in love with you, that's right.
