Chapter 10 Picking Oranges
10.1
It's another Friday afternoon. As always, it was the usual weekly summary and coordination meeting of the project department.
After the meeting, Manager Yu deliberately left Wang Youjie behind.
"I'm going to suffocate me, let's smoke a cigarette first." Waiting for the others to walk out of the conference room, Manager Yu quickly took out a cigarette and gestured to Wang Youjie.
"I don't smoke." Wang Youjie waved his hand and said. He stood up and went to open a few open windows to let in some air. The central air conditioner used in the office usually has the windows closed.
Manager Yu lit the fire, took a big puff, and put the cigarette in his mouth. Then lean your head back on the back of the chair and relax your body as if you are enjoying yourself.
Wang Youjie sat down, his eyes looked at Manager Yu, and he didn't know what special things he had to explain if he was left alone.
During this period, the project in charge of Wang Youjie began the second phase of research and development. If it passes smoothly this time, it will be officially delivered on the customer's system side by the end of the year.
That is to say, in less than two months, after the overall test of the project system is passed, the trial operation of the system will begin on the project customer side, that is, the new one.
This stage, generally speaking, is not only to ensure the correctness of the system function, but also the stage where customer needs change greatly. Therefore, for developers, it is not only necessary to control and plan their own time, but also try to avoid large changes on the demand side.
This is a critical period and a challenging one.
After smoking three puffs of cigarettes in a row, Manager Yu seemed to relax a lot. Then, with his head up, he spat out three large smoke rings in succession.
White smoke rings curled up and up.
At a certain height, the smoke ring begins to crumble and finally disappears.
Manager Yu stopped, looked at Wang Youjie and said with a smile: "What's the matter, these smoke rings I spit out just now are still of a certain level, right?" ”
Wang Youjie smiled, remained silent, and waited for Manager Yu to continue.
Manager Yu closed the notepad in front of him and asked seemingly casually: "You are very familiar with Vice President An of Hangzhou Head Office?" ”
Wang Youjie didn't know why Manager Yu asked this, and he didn't know the real intention of Manager Yu to say this sentence suddenly.
He thought for a moment and replied ambiguously: "When I first came to the Hangzhou company after graduating from university, he was our project manager. ”
"Oh?!"
After a while, Manager Yu looked at Wang Youjie and continued, "When the customer was officially handed over this time, as an important project of the company this year, it can also be said to be the company's final work this year. ”
The king did not make a sound.
In fact, Wang Youjie already knew about Vice President An's coming to Shanghai to supervise the war at the end of the year, and Vice President An once personally told him in WeChat. At that time, Vice President An said that Wang Youjie, as a talent sent by the head office, should play a more and greater role in the development of major projects this time.
In fact, as a former subordinate, even if Vice President An didn't say it himself, Wang Youjie would naturally have his former colleagues in Hangzhou disclose it to him. Although it has been more than half a year since he left the Hangzhou base camp, until now, Wang Youjie is still in his WeChat group in Hangzhou, whether it is a work group or a private friend group.
Manager Yu didn't say anything about Vice President An.
Next, he just emphasized some plans and areas for improvement in the project work again, and then emphasized the overall time sequence of the project with Wang Youjie.
When I came out of the conference room, it was almost time to get off work.
Wang Youjie went to the pantry to fetch water.
After picking up the water and just about to go out with a teacup, Sister Zhou came in. The two greeted each other.
Wang Youjie continued to walk out, and Sister Zhou stopped him.
Wang Youjie made up his mind, turned to look at Sister Zhou, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"So, we don't work overtime this Sunday, right?" Sister Zhou asked with a smile.
Wang Youjie was strange and said: "At the week's summary meeting in the afternoon, didn't Manager Yu already say that the group rested? ”
"Of course I do." Sister Zhou pressed the button of the coffee machine and asked, "I mean, what are your plans for this Sunday?" ”
"What can I do. The old habit of many years, sleeping at home, to make up for the lack of sleep this week. ”
He smiled and said, "Also, I just have time, I can re-sort out some of the data and code that our group has recently made this time." The second phase of the report is about to be held, and the task and time are very tight. ”
When the coffee was full, Sister Zhou picked up the cup and said with a smile: "It's rare to rest for two days, so you just passed it away?" ”
Wang Youjie finally understood something at this time.
"Do you have something?" Wang Youjie thought about it wrong, and felt that Sister Zhou might have something to say to him.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow, our Lao Huang organized an event to pick oranges at a farm in Qingpu, do you want to go?"
"Of course."
Wang Youjie thought for a while, and then asked: "Didn't you say that the most delicious oranges in Shanghai should be on Chongming Island?" ”
"That's right. It's just that you live in Sijing and take care of your near road. Sister Zhou smiled and said, "Besides, in fact, oranges are produced in many places in Shanghai, and the taste is almost the same, and they are quite delicious." ”
So he said the meeting place on Sunday, and when the time came, Sister Zhou drove over to pick him up, and then went to the farm together.
