Promoted to Director of R&D Department

  "I'm going to develop a new mobile phone now, if I give you the chip customization rights, can you help me achieve all the functions of Shanzhai phones and smartphones on the market, even all the functions you can think of? Do you think you can design a phone that meets the usage habits of Chinese people and makes me a lot of money?"

  Zhen Ming thought for a moment and said, "I can try."

  "Give it a try, if you can't do it then get out. The most annoying thing is people like you who always leave themselves an escape route before saying anything, would you dare say you're capable of doing something?"

  Jin Dafu suddenly unleashed a torrent of abuse, and Zhen Ming sat there silently, not responding or defending himself. For a moment, Jin felt that scolding him was not satisfying, so he changed the subject: "I heard that your uncle passed away a few months ago?"

  "Alright."

  "Why didn't you tell me?"

  "Mr. Jin, you're a busy and important person, I don't dare trouble you with this."

  "Cut the crap!" Jin Dafu slammed his hand on the table, "Apart from women, I've got nothing better to do every day. Stop being sarcastic and mocking me! Considering your uncle just left not long ago, I won't hold it against you. Since there's no attachment anymore, work hard for me with your life on the line. From tomorrow onwards, you're the head of our factory's design department."

  Zhen Ming hesitated for a moment: "Jin Zong, I'm still young and don't have much experience, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it, you'd better find someone with more experience."

  "I let you go up and you just went up, what's the point of talking nonsense? By the way, how many years have you been working in my factory?"

  "It's been almost five years."

  "How much is your monthly salary now?"

  "Twenty-five hundred."

  "Starting next month, I'll raise your salary to 25,000. The bonus will be calculated separately. There's 200,000 in this card, consider it an advance on your salary. Go to the 4S store and buy a good car, don't buy Japanese goods, I heard Audi has a new model out. After that, buy yourself some nice clothes, look at what you're wearing now, you're embarrassing me as the head of the design department in my factory! People who don't know will think I'm running a sweatshop and exploiting workers. Who doesn't know that I, Jin Dafu, am a self-made man who values face more than life? Go back and think carefully about the design plan, when you've got it figured out, write a report and send it to me, then you can go."

  "Jin Zong..." Zhenming sighed and wanted to speak but stopped.

  "Cut the crap!"

  "Two hundred thousand seems like it can't buy an Audi? An Outo can buy several, or else you change it to US dollars for me."

  "Get out!"

  Zhen Mingsu didn't say anything else, took the card on the table, walked out of the director's office, and saw Ren Zheng waiting at the door with a gaze that seemed to be both jealous and resentful. As soon as Zhen Mingsu stepped out, he immediately followed him in, slamming the door shut behind him.

  ……

  In the factory director's office, Ren Bian sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking top-grade Longjing tea.

  "Brother-in-law, you really let him be the head of the design department?"

  Jin Dafu didn't even lift his head: "Not letting him be in charge, are you going to let you be in charge?"

  "He's just a junior high school graduate, what qualifications does he have to be the head of the design department?"

  Jin Dafa sneered: "Junior high school graduate? Humph, he was the top scorer in science in XX Province's college entrance examination back then! If it weren't for his uncle's incident back then, he would have already graduated from QH University's Optoelectronics major!"

  The man was speechless for a moment, then mumbled: "I didn't attend university, but I'm just a junior high school graduate, aren't I? I even attended a vocational technical school!"

  "Get out!"

  "Brother-in-law, can't you let me be the head of the design department and him be the workshop director? After all, I'm his superior too. Now you suddenly promote him to be the head of the design department, isn't this making things difficult for me? Oh, today he's still working under me, tomorrow he'll become my superior, what authority will I have in front of my subordinates?"

  Jin Dafu picked up the ashtray on the table and flung it at him, "You're just a useless thing, still talking to me about prestige? If I didn't think of your sister giving birth to twins for me, I would have fired you long ago. Every day, besides whipping women with a leather belt, what else can you do? If you had one-tenth of his ability, I'd let you be the deputy factory director!"

  The man dodged the ashtray with a nimble hand, muttering to himself: "Just an outsider, be careful he sells you out."

  "Get out of my sight! Do you think I'm a fool? Who is he, I don't know? And do you need to remind me?! Li He, don't say I didn't warn you, just be obedient and stop provoking him, he's not someone you can afford to mess with."

  "My mother's fart is not your mother-in-law's fart?" Li He said indignantly: "What can he do to me? With his small size, I can kill him in a minute."

  Jin Dafu sneered: "With your daily habits of eating, drinking, whoring and taking drugs, he could take you down with just one finger. When he was in prison, you were still nestled in some woman's arms in a hotel room, sucking milk."

  "Brother-in-law, aren't you also every day sitting in another woman's lap and drinking milk? And yet you're saying I'm the one who always boosts others' morale while undermining my own family's prestige." Ren Jun's face was filled with indignation.

  "For my brother Wang Da Fa, being able to work under me for five years without ever asking for a raise is someone who is one of us." After finishing speaking, Jin Da Fa ignored the resentful-looking woman next to him and started playing with several latest model smartphones on the table.

  Three months later.

  Jin Dafa summoned all technical R&D and design department employees to the R&D workshop.

  Among them was the newly appointed head of the design department, Zhen Mingsu. At this time, he stood among more than 20 R&D and design staff, looking disheveled and emitting a foul odor, even worse than a street beggar.

  For the past three months, he has hardly left the design department, spending his days with his head buried in his desk for three hours at a time, without bathing or changing clothes. He only eats when his stomach growls with hunger, and even then, it's just takeout ordered over the phone.

  Not a few people sitting near him couldn't help but cover their noses.

  Three months ago, Zhen Ming was promoted to the position of Design Director at Jinfeng Mobile Phone Factory, becoming the youngest person in the company's history to hold this position.

  The staff in the design department didn't understand why Jin Dafu would let someone like that be the head of the design department, but they all knew Jin Dafu's temper, and whoever opposed his appointee would be fired as soon as he found out. It can be said that this appointment determined their rice bowls, and his orders were equivalent to Jin Dafu's orders.

  R&D failure is the responsibility of all design department employees.

  The success of R&D is due to the efforts of the head of the design department.

  Only Jin Dafu would have such logic.
