July [5]
After sending Stegg away, Ji Wei calmed down alone in the stairwell outside the company for a full hour before returning to the office to find Kevin, and then summoned Chen Xiaotian and Feng Yu to the conference room for a meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaotian and Feng Yu heard Kevin say, "Hongxinxin decided to cancel the cooperation and cut the project." After these words, he showed an expression of disbelief, and then took turns to a series of expressions such as anger, dazedness, and helplessness, and finally stopped at a worried expression.
"So what do we do now?" Feng Yu asked, "There are still a lot of people pointing at us for dinner......
"Our own investment is also limited, and if we rely entirely on our own money to support everyone, we will not be able to sustain many months...... I can't do it anyway. As you know, I have just gotten married, and I am currently renovating my house, and the wedding date is scheduled for early October...... "Chen Xiaotian said.
"How long will we be able to keep the money in our bank going?" Ji Wei asked.
"Coupled with the unpaid payment from Hongxinxin, it will probably be enough to last three and a half months." Kevin replied.
"Three and a half months...... Ji Wei took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she needed to think calmly for a while.
"I think first we need to have a showdown with everybody, explain the situation to everybody, and be honest about the current state of the company...... Kevin said.
"Won't it shake the morale of the army after saying that? If everyone finds their own way out of this......" Chen Xiaotian said worriedly.
"There's no way around that, isn't it?" "If they can find a better way out, we can only bless them." ”
Everyone was silent.
"The showdown was right." Ji Wei finally raised her head, "We need to let everyone know the current state of the company - we have now reached a very critical time, and it is time to give it a go." I'm going to divide the team into three teams and develop three prototypes in a short period of time, and of course, we'll be looking for opportunities to find the right partners in the meantime. Do you have any comments? ”
"I have no opinion." Feng Yu replied, and immediately, Xiao Tian and Kevin also nodded in agreement.
After the meeting of the four, Feng Yu took the lead in leaving and went back to work.
Ji Wei felt a little headache, so she temporarily stayed in the conference room to rest, and Kevin was in the same situation.
Chen Xiaotian pushed open a window in the conference room, stood at the window and smoked.
Ji Wei is relatively close to Kevin and Chen Xiaotian, and can usually be said to be friends who talk about anything when they have something to say, so in the recent past few days, Ji Wei and Alexander's various involvement, the other two can be regarded as understanding well enough.
Halfway through the cigarette, Chen Xiaotian mentioned intentionally or unintentionally: "The company's project was cut and it has nothing to do with Alexander, right?" He seems to have a good relationship with Johnny. ”
"No, it won't." Before Ji Wei could answer, Kevin preemptively preempted her and commented, "There can't be a relationship between these two things. ”
Ji Wei glanced at Kevin with a smile, and thanked him from the bottom of her heart for not pouring salt on her wound at this time.
Before getting off work that day, Si Xiaoqiang gathered everyone together and explained the current situation of the company without reservation.
"Although it is indeed sad that the project that we have worked together for a whole year has been taken away, we also believe that with the ability of our team, we can make a better product. We hope that everyone can work together to make high-quality projects in the next two to three months, and then find new opportunities together. Ji Wei said sincerely.
"We hope that everyone will join us in our efforts to get through this difficult time. Of course, if you have any thoughts about leaving, we can understand that. If you can find any better way forward, we will understand and bless you. Kevin said.
The silence spread for a while, and was finally broken by art designer Wu Yu first-
"That is to say...... We just need to make high-quality products in the shortest possible time, right? He asked.
"The next few products can be completely decided by ourselves, and we don't have to listen to Hongxinxin's nonsense anymore, right?" Programmer Qi Xiaodan asked.
"Yes......" Ji Wei and Kevin glanced at each other and replied.
"Isn't that a nice thing? We can finally develop our own projects in the true sense of the word. Xiao Wei, a planning assistant who was recently promoted, said.
"Then let's do it." Another art designer, Hu Yifeng, said that he maintained a calm expression as always.
"Ji Wei, Kevin, Xiaotian, Feng Yu, let's fight!" Wu Yu waved his arm and said loudly.
"No problem!" Si Xiaoqiang replied tacitly, and the smiles on everyone's faces gradually melted together.
At the end of the meeting, everyone gradually dispersed, and in the end, only Kevin and Ji Wei were still sitting in the office sorting out the new version of the materials that needed to be submitted to Hongxin, which was the end of the final handover work.
In order to save some electricity bills, Kevin's office was only lit with an incandescent lamp directly above his head. Seeing him working in the dim light, Ji Wei felt an inexplicable sense of guilt from the bottom of her heart.
"Maybe if I whisper a little more to Johnny and Steiger, our project won't be axed......" Ji Wei stepped behind Kevin and whispered.
"No one can blame this, Ji Wei." Kevin turned to comfort her, "You've done your best. ”
"Do you think we're going to make it through?" Ji Wei smiled tiredly and asked Kevin, and asked herself.
"Just do your best, don't you?" Kevin replied with a smile.
After turning off all the lights in the office and checking that all the doors and windows were closed, Kevin and Ji Wei walked out of the company gate at the same time, trying to catch the last subway.
Trotting all the way to the subway station, the time was just right - the two people who lived in the opposite direction of one east and one west were lucky enough to wait for the last train in their respective directions at the same time.
"I'm leaving, Ji Wei, rest early." When parting, Kevin turned to say goodbye to her, "Goodbye!" He said loudly.
At this time, Ji Wei suddenly remembered that Lin Ximin encouraged him at the moment of farewell-
So, she responded to Kevin with a smile: "Kevin, come on!" ”
Then, the two of them stepped into their respective trains and moved forward.
