94: Chapter 94 Stubbornness
Most of these suggestions were related to the company's management system, but what Chen Ling most wanted to hear were everyone's suggestions regarding the project.
"Besides these, do you have any suggestions for this project?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone tacitly lowered their heads.
Seeing that everyone had returned to silence,
Chen Ling pursed her lips and slapped the table with the documents, making a loud cracking sound.
"I asked you for suggestions, where are your suggestions?!"
"I didn't invite you here to criticize the company system; I invited you to brainstorm ideas for me!"
Seeing that Chen Ling was about to start her long monologue of PUA tactics, the young man couldn't stand it anymore. He directly stood up and said, "President Chen! I have an idea!"
Chen Ling's face lit up with joy. She said happily, "Good! Whether your idea is useful or not, having an idea is a good thing. Tell me, what is your idea?"
The young man cleared his throat and said loudly, "My idea is very simple. This project is not suitable for our company. I think we can abandon this project."
When the words fell, the conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Chen Ling's face darkened and she asked, "Why?"
The young man replied, "It's very simple. If we have good projects ourselves, we can develop them completely on our own; there's no need to hand the project over to others."
"Furthermore, I don't believe such a huge company can't find a talented project team. I think this project has a trap."
Chen Ling hummed, signaling him to sit down.
"Does anyone else have any thoughts?"
The crowd was as quiet as chickens; not a single person spoke.
It wasn't that they didn't have their own ideas; it was that they didn't dare to mention them to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling was too domineering.
She only did what she believed was right.
It was useless to say anything anyway; why invite trouble for themselves?
Seeing that everyone else had no other opinions, Chen Ling said no more and directly waved her hand to dismiss the meeting.
After the meeting adjourned, she returned to her office.
"President Chen, are we still forming a team to bid?"
The secretary asked cautiously.
Chen Ling replied without thinking, "Of course! How could I listen to a young whippersnapper? Just because he said the project has a trap means it really has a trap?"
"If he were really that smart, why didn't he start his own company?"
"Just do as I said in the meeting. Tell the Finance Department to increase the budget for the project team to recruit talent. I must win this project!"
The secretary pursed her lips and shook her head internally.
As expected.
President Chen was still the same President Chen.
She simply couldn't listen to anyone.
On the other side.
Shen Yan was also in a meeting.
The direction of his meeting was the same as Chen Ling's: listening to everyone's ideas.
"As of now, the progress bar for the software we are developing has passed the halfway mark. I urgently called everyone here today mainly to hear what everyone thinks about the project currently in their hands."
The Employees looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
They were just coders; what ideas could they possibly have?
"President Shen, we don't really have any ideas. Is there something you want us to modify?"
Shen Yan smiled and shook his head.
"No, I genuinely want to hear your thoughts."
"Suppose you don't have a job right now, what software would you use to look for one?"
The Employees thought for a moment and successively named several well-known job-seeking software platforms.
Shen Yan nodded and asked again, "Then, after logging onto these software platforms, what would you do?"
The Employees answered in unison, "Fill in our information, send our resumes, and then search for the relevant positions we want to apply for."
Shen Yan asked again, "Then do you feel you can find what you're looking for?"
This time, the Employees' answers were not unified.
Some nodded, and some shook their heads.
"Actually, it still depends quite a bit on luck. If you're lucky, you might find something. But if you're unlucky, you might end up paying interview fees."
"Because many companies don't lack people; they just list a position up there."
Shen Yan smiled.
This was the kind of suggestion he wanted.
"This is the idea I was looking for. Based on your suggestions, I think we can insert a filtering condition into the software."
"If someone is afraid of going for nothing, they can use the filtering condition to filter out companies with high turnover rates or near-zero hiring rates."
The Employees' eyes lit up.
That's right!
They could stand from the job seeker's perspective to propose and solve problems.
Casting a brick to attract jade.
Soon, everyone began to enthusiastically put forward their opinions one after another.
Someone suggested that they could insert a group chat program into the software, allowing job seekers to chat in the same group.
This way, they could maintain activity while also allowing them to exchange information and know what kind of company they were interviewing with.
But Shen Yan rejected this idea.
The reason he rejected this idea was very simple: the relationship between the job seeker and the company was unbalanced.
They couldn't just consider the job seeker's standpoint without considering the company's standpoint.
The company and the job seeker were a two-way selection.
They couldn't favor one side; they could only provide a platform for both sides.
"Alright, I see you all have many ideas. Don't code anymore today; write down all your thoughts."
"Whether from the company's perspective or the job seeker's perspective, I hope you can write down all your unrestrained ideas and organize them into documents to send to me."
"Go home directly after writing. We can deal with anything tomorrow."
Hearing this, everyone cheered.
They could get off work early today!
Hearing the cheers, Shen Yan smiled again.
"Alright, alright. Everyone's gone, why are you still standing here laughing?"
"It's not that... I just want to ask, are you really the boss? Why do you keep giving them benefits every few days?"
Chen Guangke couldn't figure it out.
If this company hadn't been founded by the three of them—him, Shen Yan, and Wu Ya—he would have thought there were relatives of Shen Yan among the other Employees.
"Tsk! The way you put it, what do you mean by giving them benefits every few days? Isn't that what they deserve?"
"The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. How much money are you earning right now to have capitalist thinking?"
Chen Guangke's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself with his finger in disbelief.
"Me, capitalist thinking?!"
"My way of thinking is the normal one, okay?!"
"This current stage is the most crucial time for the company. How can you let them go out and relax at this juncture? That will affect them!"
Wu Ya really couldn't stand it. She pinched Chen Guangke's earlobe between her thumb and forefinger, "Can you stop being so impatient? Brother Shen must have his reasons for doing this!"
