Transmigrated into the body of a villain, I became my sister's savior.
Chapter 85 Conversation
The years do not live, the seasons flow.
Tongda Shipping has expanded its external business, and its order volume and cargo volume have grown rapidly.
A large number of new employees poured in.
When Xia Tingwan was in the second semester of her junior year of high school, Lin Jianshen was promoted and transferred to a newly built warehouse as a team leader.
My salary increased by 1,500.
When Xia Tingwan was about to take the college entrance examination, her original manager was transferred to develop other businesses.
With the people above him moving up, Wang Yong had room for promotion and became a manager.
His move left the original supervisory position vacant.
Lin Jianshen was called into Wang Yong's new office.
This office is much larger than Wang Yong's previous one, and there are leather sofas in the reception area.
Wang Yong poured him a cup of tea in a disposable plastic cup, pushed it towards him, and got straight to the point: "Xiao Lin, what are your thoughts on my former supervisor position? Who do you think is suitable?"
Lin Jianshen squinted at him, a thin crease appearing at the corner of his eye, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Normally, such matters should be decided by those above, without needing to ask the opinion of a subordinate.
Wang Yong touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
How come I never noticed before that Lin Jianshen was so sensitive?
He thought to himself, "In just this short time, this kid seems to have thought a lot, and may even understand why I wanted to talk to him."
Lin Jianshen finally spoke up: "I recommend Lao Li. He has excellent skills, rich experience, and sufficient qualifications, and can command respect."
Wang Yong lit a cigarette and said, "The HR director's opinion is that you should be the one."
Lin Jianshen said, "I've only been here for less than two years, how can I compare my seniority to Old Li's?"
"The company doesn't rely solely on seniority anymore," Wang Yong explained. "The HR department has integrated with the group's 'Nanfeng Smart Brain,' which has a talent evaluation algorithm."
"Your daily work data, learning ability, problem-solving efficiency, and even implicit evaluations of communication and collaboration are all quantified and scored."
"Your final overall potential score is higher than Lao Li's."
Lin Jianshen raised an eyebrow: "Algorithm? Data is cold and impersonal; it may not reflect the whole picture."
Wang Yong shook his head: "This algorithm was created by President Lu. Its accuracy is well-known in the industry and it is very popular in the market."
"It doesn't make mistakes, and its output is always very objective."
"To put it another way, if our company were to be taken over by Nanfeng Smart Brain, 80 percent of the employees would lose their jobs, including me."
Lin Jianshen asked, "Then why not use it?"
Wang Yong took a drag of his cigarette: "At the management annual meeting, President Lu said that the purpose of new quality productivity is to promote industrial upgrading and reduce the workload of employees."
"To make everyone happier, not to plunder the jobs and surplus value of the working class."
"Otherwise, why do you think you'd have time to attend online classes while you're at work?"
He flicked his cigarette ash: "I'm getting off-topic. Anyway, the Nanfeng AI is really powerful."
"Based on the algorithm's recommendation, the HR director is preparing to choose you over Lao Li."
Lin Jianshen was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled: "Then this algorithm must have missed one point."
Wang Yong asked, "Which point?"
Lin Jianshen said, "Actually, I was preparing to resign, and I had already thought it through beforehand."
Wang Yong was taken aback: "Are you crazy?"
The cigarette ash fell onto the shiny tabletop.
"This is a supervisory position! An administrative role; you'll only be needed to go to the front lines occasionally! The salary and bonuses will be much higher than what you're currently receiving! Many people are eyeing this position!"
"Even if you don't want the supervisory position, you can continue as a team leader. Why did you resign?"
"I understand everything you're saying," Lin Jianshen said calmly, "but it's still not enough for me."
"Not enough? How can it not be enough?" Wang Yong couldn't understand.
Lin Jianshen calculated that Xia Tingwan would be eighteen years old after finishing the college entrance examination.
Even if she gets married at twenty-eight, there will only be ten years left.
A dowry cannot be meager, otherwise the husband's family will look down on her.
They should at least help with the down payment for the house; we can't keep renting at that point.
I might need another car, otherwise commuting will be inconvenient...
Lin Jianshen said, "I need a job that will allow me to save at least three million within ten years."
Wang Yong glared at him: "Are you fucking crazy? Lin Jianshen, do you know how hard it is to find a job these days? You're dreaming!"
Lin Jianshen said, "There's nothing I can do. My sister and I are both orphans, and I want her to marry well."
"The economic base determines the superstructure. If you have better economic conditions, you will feel more confident marrying into the family and will suffer less grievance."
"She's my only family member. To be honest, I'm usually quite sensitive, and it hurts me if she's wronged."
Wang Yong remained silent for a long time.
He somewhat regretted talking to Lin Jianshen.
He took a few deep drags on his cigarette before asking in a hoarse voice, "Have you decided where to go?"
"Three million? You're not fucking robbing a bank, are you?"
Lin Jianshen said, "I don't rob banks. I've heard that celebrities can earn hundreds of thousands a month."
"So I'm going to check out Wind Chaser Media. They're a leading company, an industry giant."
"Even I, someone who doesn't watch the news much, always hear about them from different sources."
He smiled and said, "If I became a star, I should have a chance of making three million."
Wang Yong muttered, "You're fucking insane. Do you know how slim the chances of becoming famous are?"
"You are good-looking, and many women secretly admire you, but who among those women isn't good-looking?"
"You're giving up everything you have now, just for a vague and uncertain opportunity?"
Lin Jianshen said, "Actually, I've already thought it through. I'm just an ordinary person, and to earn that much money, I have to take a gamble."
"They are in a leading industry, so they have more exposure opportunities. If all else fails, they can start by playing minor roles."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a secret: I have a way to get into Chasing Wind Media, but I don't want to use it. I want to try to do it on my own."
Wang Yong lit another cigarette, unsure whether he had received the letter or not.
Lin Jianshen continued, "Oh, right, there's one more thing, which is a little embarrassing to say. I came here simply because I could work and study at the same time."
"Because I saw the job postings for Zhuifeng Media, which only hires people with a college degree or above."
"I've already finished my online courses ahead of schedule, and the certificate will be issued soon. I've achieved the purpose of this job."
Wang Yong questioned, "Isn't it because of Lao Li?"
Lin Jianshen said, "You're overthinking it. There's no need to feel too much pressure."
"I decided around this time when I came in."
"I'm a selfish person, and Lao Li can't influence my decisions."
Wang Yong remained silent for a long time, with only the air conditioner humming.
Actually, he would prefer Lao Li to take over the supervisor position, because Lao Li had been with him since the company was just starting out.
Old Li has no problem with his personal abilities, and his family's financial situation is not good.
Her daughter needs another open-heart surgery this year, and Old Li needs this stable income even more than he does.
Every time there's an award selection process, Wang Yong nominates Lao Li for the honor.
For this nomination, Wang Yong also nominated Lao Li.
However, Nanfeng Smart Brain shows that Lin Jianshen's work ability and personal potential far exceed those of Lao Li.
Wang Yong had no choice.
That's why this conversation took place.
Wang Yong actually hoped that he could persuade Lin Jianshen to go to the human resources department and voluntarily give up the supervisor position.
This way, the promotion opportunity would naturally go to Lao Li.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jianshen actually wanted to resign.
This made Wang Yong feel a little guilty.
However, in the adult world, there isn't much fairness, and everyone is very capable of detaching themselves from reality.
