Chapter 35 She seems to have become even more beautiful!
The project progress meeting was held on time in the company's conference room at 9:00 a.m. on Friday.
Chen Mo arrived ten minutes early to test the projection equipment and prepare the report materials.
He wore a white fitted shirt and blue jeans today, looking composed and capable.
"Team Leader Chen, is General Manager Shen really coming today?"
While arranging the documents, Engineer Zhang asked in a low voice.
"Minister Huang notified us yesterday, so he should be coming."
Chen Mo checked the PPT without looking up and said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. Just report according to what we've prepared."
Despite this, the atmosphere in the meeting room was still inevitably a bit tense.
After all, as the company's vice president, Shen Qingyue rarely attends project meetings of this level.
At 9:00 AM sharp, the meeting room door was pushed open.
Minister Huang walked in first, followed by Shen Qingyue.
She was dressed in professional attire as usual, a light gray suit jacket paired with a matching pencil skirt, her long hair styled in a low bun, revealing her slender neck and delicate profile.
She has a cool and aloof demeanor and a powerful presence.
"Hello, Mr. Shen!"
"Hello, Minister Huang!"
The project team members all stood up to greet them.
Shen Qingyue nodded slightly and sat down in the main seat.
Minister Huang sat next to her.
"Let's begin." Shen Qingyue's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, walked to the projector, and opened the PowerPoint presentation.
"President Shen, Minister Huang, colleagues, I will now report on the progress of the 'Smart Community Management System' project in its third week..."
His voice was steady and clear, and his speaking speed was moderate.
The report consists of three parts: the progress of this week's work, the problems encountered and their solutions, and the work plan for next week.
Each section is supported by detailed data, with clear charts and highlights.
"Regarding data integration, we have completed the standardization of all interfaces with the property management company and obtained the final data format."
"The hardware selection issue has been resolved. After comparative testing, we selected a solution with better compatibility and higher cost-effectiveness."
"The security assessment team has become involved and is expected to complete a preliminary security risk assessment report next week..."
As Chen Mo explained, he observed Shen Qingyue's reaction.
She didn't interrupt at all, only occasionally jotting down a few words in her notebook, her expression calm and revealing no emotion.
Minister Huang, on the other hand, nodded from time to time, a satisfied smile on his face.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Mo finished his report.
"That concludes my report on the progress of the project in its third week."
He put away the laser pointer and looked at Shen Qingyue: "President Shen, what are your instructions?"
Shen Qingyue closed her notebook and looked up.
Her gaze swept around the conference room and finally landed on Chen Mo.
"The report was very clear."
She began by saying, "The data is detailed, the thinking is clear, the problems are accurately identified, and the solutions are practical and feasible."
These words immediately lightened the atmosphere in the meeting room.
"but……"
Shen Qingyue changed the subject and looked at the other members of the project team.
"I heard that the project encountered some obstacles recently, and the team's morale was also affected."
Her voice remained calm, but her eyes sharpened.
Is that true?
The meeting room fell silent immediately.
Engineer Zhang, Engineer Liu, and the others looked at each other, none of them daring to speak first.
Chen Mo felt a pang of anxiety, but remained outwardly calm.
"Mr. Shen, we have indeed encountered some coordination difficulties during the project's progress."
He took the initiative to speak, frankly saying, "The main problem is that when collaborating across departments, the communication costs are relatively high, which has affected the progress to some extent."
However, we have already resolved these issues by establishing a regular communication mechanism and clarifying the division of responsibilities.
The team's morale is currently stable, and everyone is cooperating very well.
He didn't mention the behind-the-scenes actions of Supervisor Li and Supervisor Zhang, nor did he complain about any individual; he simply described the difficulties objectively and how the team dealt with them.
Shen Qingyue looked at him for a few seconds and nodded.
"It's good that they can proactively solve problems instead of shirking responsibility."
She turned to the other members of the project team, her tone softening somewhat.
"I know this project has a tight schedule and heavy workload, and everyone is under a lot of pressure."
But this is also a rare opportunity.
The company's decision to select you to participate in this key project is a testament to their trust in your abilities.
If you do well, the company will reward you handsomely.
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I heard Chen Mo's report just now. The project is progressing as expected, and in some aspects, it has even exceeded expectations."
This shows that your team is capable of fighting.
I hope everyone continues to maintain this momentum and makes the project a success.
"yes!"
"clear!"
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Shen Qingyue then looked at Chen Mo.
"Chen Mo, as the deputy leader of the project, I have seen your performance during this period."
He remained calm under pressure, handled problems maturely, and led the team well.
The company's decision to promote you, despite the usual procedures, was the right one.
This is a very direct and heavy statement.
Everyone in the conference room could tell that President Shen was publicly supporting Chen Mo.
Chen Mo: "Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Shen."
"it is good."
Shen Qingyue stood up.
"That concludes today's meeting. Everyone, please return to your work."
Chen Mo, can you stay here for a moment?
"Yes."
The others left the meeting room one after another.
Minister Huang also stood up, gave Chen Mo a wink, and followed Shen Qingyue out of the conference room.
Chen Mo packed his things and walked to the door.
Shen Qingyue was standing by the window in the corridor, looking at the street scene outside.
"President Shen." Chen Mo walked to her side.
Shen Qingyue turned around and looked at him.
"I'm going to meet with General Manager Liu of 'Yunjin Tianfu' this afternoon. You'll come with me."
Chen Mo was taken aback: "What?!"
"Um."
Shen Qingyue explained, "You are the project's technical lead and know the system best. When Mr. Liu asks about the technical details, you can explain them from the side."
To avoid any misunderstandings due to my unclear explanation.
"Understood."
Chen Mo nodded and asked, "Do I need to prepare any extra materials?"
"No need, standard reporting materials are fine."
Shen Qingyue glanced at her watch and said, "Wait for me downstairs at the company at 2 PM."
"OK."
"Go."
Chen Mo returned to his workstation, somewhat surprised.
When meeting clients, one should ideally bring someone from the business or marketing department; it's rare to see someone bringing the technical lead.
Unless the client makes a special request, or the project reaches a critical stage.
However, since President Shen has made the arrangements, he will do as he is told.
After lunch, Chen Mo organized all the materials he might need in the afternoon again to make sure everything was in order.
He went downstairs at 1:50.
At exactly 2:00, Shen Qingyue appeared in the company lobby on time.
She changed her clothes, no longer wearing the serious business suit from the morning, but a beige silk shirt paired with black wide-leg pants.
She has lost some of her sharp, professional edge and gained more of her intellectual elegance.
Chen Mo felt...
She seems to have become even more beautiful!
