Chapter 9 - You are more important

After agreeing on the place and time to meet, he waited to go to the special pick-up point at the freight station together after getting off work.

In order not to work overtime, Zhuang Yanyu finished his work and handed in early.

However, his plan could not keep up with change, when there were more than 30 minutes before the end of work, a technician came over in a hurry, saying that there was a small problem with the program of a project, and an engineer was urgently needed to help.

The engineering department was short of people ah, it was very busy in the first place, everyone had a lot of work on hand, otherwise others would not be seconded to from departments there so many times.

Now most engineers have projects they were working on, and the engineering system that went wrong was the intelligent control system of the port. At that time, the people in charge of this project were sent to other projects, and most of them were on business trips.

Only one engineer who was in charge of this project did not go on a business trip. After he knew the situation, he studied the problem for a while and said that it was a small problem that could be solved, but he had to work overtime temporarily and needed an assistant.

The assistant role thus fell on Zhuang Yanyu and Zhou Quan.

“Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhou, I’m so sorry. You also know that our engineering department is short of people. Don’t worry, the overtime pay for working overtime on our side will definitely not be taking advantage of you!” Director Xu apologized.

Zhou Quan was fine, he loved coming here anyway, so he agreed directly.

Director Xu was mainly worried about Zhuang Yanyu.

He had not agreed to join their department yet, and he was asked to work overtime, wouldn’t that scare him away.

But if it weren’t for the lack of people this time, Director Xu really wouldn’t have spoken.

Zhuang Yanyu really didn’t want to work overtime, but then he heard that there was a problem with the machine program of the central port. If there was any major accident, or if the goods were piled up and couldn’t be packed, it would be Wen Chenxi’s company that would be affected in the future.

Thinking that this matter would affect Wen Chenxi, Zhuang Yanyu agreed without thinking.

Zhuang Yanyu: “No problem, where are you? I’ll go there now.”

He agreed so readily, making Director Xu feel flattered: “Just… just agreed like this?”

Zhuang Yanyu was more urgent than him. When Director Xu was still in shock, Zhuang Yanyu had already searched automatically and locked his target precisely, walking directly towards the engineer.

Director Xu murmured: “Xiao Zhuang is unbelievably proactive today.”

Zhou Quan smiled sullenly: “Director, you¹ should tell us what to do quickly.”

Director Xu came to his senses and said quickly: “Yes, let’s go. The engineer Xiao Zhuang is talking to is right. I will ask the technician to talk about the situation. You guys may have to go to the dock.”

Then he felt lucky: “Fortunately, it is local.”

At present, most ports use fully automated container intelligence. Management and control system, which involved some key technologies such as system architecture, model calculation, test operation and maintenance. At that time, this project was also a very important project between Weilan Technology and the official cooperation. The current system problem was actually just a small one, but even if it was only a small problem, the engineering department attached great importance to it, and it was treated as a big problem.

Zhuang Yanyu, Zhou Quan, and the engineer Qin Yiyuan rushed to the pier to check the system status. Because they were in a hurry, Zhuang Yanyu forgot to tell Wen Chenxi.

When it was time to get off work, Wen Chenxi asked the driver to go back first. He sat in the car in the parking lot and waited for Zhuang Yanyu.

Fearing that Zhuang Yanyu would not be able to find his special parking space, he even specially asked the driver to write down the specific route, and then forwarded it to him.

It’s just that he waited for half an hour, and there was also no reply on WeChat.

At first, Wen Chenxi thought that there were many people in the elevator during off-duty hours, and Zhuang Yanyu was waiting for the elevator. Seeing that he hadn’t seen anyone for half an hour, Wen Chenxi thought for a while, and first called Special Assistant Lin: “Is the engineering department working overtime?”

Special Assistant Lin hadn’t left work yet, and said, “It’s normal for the engineering department to work overtime, should I ask for you¹?”

Wen Chenxi: “En.”

After Special Assistant Lin hung up the phone, he quickly called the manager of the engineering department.

The manager of the engineering department was also used to it. In the past, he and Special Assistant Lin had nothing to talk about with the president, and most of the meeting time was at the project decision-making meeting. After all, the engineering department not only had him as the manager, but also had several managers.

Recently, because a small employee, he made frequent phone calls. The manager of the engineering department had to sigh: “Mr. Lin, are you looking for someone again?”

Special Assistant Lin: “Yes, Mr. Zhang, is Mr. Zhuang Yanyu off work now?

The manager of the department was not in the company, so he doesn’t know the situation, “I have to make a phone call to ask… But, Mr. Lin, for some things, can you explain clearly, this Zhuang Yanyu is in reality… en?”

The words were not clear, but the meaning was very clear.

What was the origin of this Zhuang Yanyu? Such that he wanted him, the Special Assistant to the president, to look for him from time to time?

Special Assistant Lin said meaningfully: “The boss pays attention to him very much.”

Just this sentence, he didn’t say much.

The manager of the engineering department was a fine individual, and this sentence was enough.

He was also thinking about the talents he was interested in before, as long as he reported them, he could find them with little effort. After all, there was no better place than Weilan Technology.

Even if he couldn’t dig it out, as long as he reported to his superiors, President Wen would send professional people to go out and give Zhuang Yanyu exactly the treatment he wanted, and then he only needed to wait for a new technical backbone to arrive.

This time he waited for months to no avail.

He was afraid Mr. Wen was concerned not only about the person’s abilities, but also about the person?

So if the young man didn’t want to, Mr. Wen followed his wish and didn’t force him.

The manager of the engineering department called Director Xu to ask someone. After getting the answer, he immediately replied to Special Assistant Lin.

In less than three minutes, Wen Chenxi learned about Zhuang Yanyu’s stay at the pier, and that he might not be able to return for a while.

Special Assistant Lin tentatively asked: “Then the dinner with the director of the Xiao Group, do you still want to go?”

Mr. Wen specially spared time this evening, but it was wasted.

Special Assistant Lin silently admired Zhuang Yanyu in his heart. Were all technical people so defiant of power?

This was Wen Chenxi, ai².

Wen Chenxi refused: “Go to the pier.”

Special Assistant Lin was taken aback, meaning to let him go together, and immediately said: “Okay, I will be here soon.”

There were indeed some minor problems with the automated intelligent management and control system of the pier, but these problems were anticipated beforehand, and the countermeasures were prepared, so the handling was also very simple, but it was relatively time-consuming.

Zhuang Yanyu also found that the existing technology was still too simple and not fast enough.

Zhuang Yanyu asked Qin Yiyuan: “This speed is considered fast? Is there any faster one?”

As an engineer following up on this project, Qin Yiyuan was quite proud, and said with a puffed chest: “No, our speed is considered fast, almost every five minutes, a 150-kilometer-long container can be arranged in order, which is more than ten times faster than previous speeds.”

Zhuang Yanyu: “Can’t it be faster?”

Qin Yiyuan looked at him with a strange expression, “Brother, what are you kidding, this is already a top-notch speed, and no other company can do it except our Weilan Technology.”

Weilan Technology was a leading domestic technology company, and if they couldn’t do it faster, let alone other companies.

Zhuang Yanyu looked pensive.

Qin Yiyuan was on a business trip during this time and was not in the company, so he didn’t know about Zhuang Yanyu’s work in the engineering department. Then, like an enthusiastic big brother, he patted Zhuang Yanyu on the shoulder and said, “Xiao Zhuang, I can see that you are very good at engineering. How about this? If I am in the company in the future, you can come to the engineering department to find me, and I will guide you more if you want.”

Zhou Quan on the side hesitated to speak, and wanted to say, didn’t he know that the manager of the engineering department had come to chat with their Zhuang Ge³ multiple times?

Zhuang Yanyu was thinking about something, and responded casually: “Oh, thank you.”

Qin Yiyuan said again: “Otherwise, I’ll treat you to dinner after work?”

Zhou Quan came over and said, “Okay, okay, is Senior Qin treating?”

Qin Yiyuan only then did he notice that there was a Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan was tall and has good facial features, but because of his dark skin, he looked like a sports student, and when he smiled, he looked a bit silly, like a big fool. Hearing that Qin Yiyuan was going to treat guests to dinner, he thought he could have a free meal, and was happy.

Strange, how could he ignore such a big and tall guy just now?

The corner of Qin Yiyuan’s mouth twitched, and he was ashamed to say that he just wanted to invite Zhuang Yanyu, so he could only continue to enthusiastically say: “Okay, let’s go together.”

Hearing that they wanted to have an appointment for dinner after work, Zhuang Yanyu remembered that he and his good brother had a meeting.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw the messages sent by his brother, and there were several!

Zhuang Yanyu ignored the others, bowed his head and replied, saying that he was working overtime.

The next moment, the Wechat ringtone rang, it was Wen Chenxi calling.

Wen Chenxi: “Got off work?”

Zhuang Yanyu looked at the system page and said, “It may still take a while.”

Wen Chenxi: “En, I’ll wait for you.”

Zhuang Yanyu felt a little guilty, it was already half past seven, they got off work at five thirty, and he kept his brother waiting for two hours!

Zhuang Yanyu: “I’ll come back to you as soon as I’m done.”

Wen Chenxi: “No need, I’m right here at the pier.”

Zhuang Yanyu became happy, which was to a naked eye: “You came here, ah?”

Wen Chenxi: “En, I am at the check point exit at the custom, just come here when you’re done with your work.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yanyu couldn’t sit still.

He analyzed his current state of mind and found that he couldn’t wait.

It turned out that this was the kind of mood of couldn’t wait was, which was something he couldn’t experience when he was still in the system.

Zhuang Yanyu felt that he had learnt a little more, and his eyes became brighter.

When Qin Yiyuan saw that when he came back from the phone call, his whole body exuded a different temperament, and there was a little blush from happiness on his already delicate face.

Qin Yiyuan felt that this person was so good-looking, so he couldn’t help asking again: “Zhuang Yanyu, can I invite you to dinner later? You shouldn’t have had dinner, right?”

Zhuang Yanyu refused: “I have an appointment with someone else.”

Qin Yiyuan felt a little regretful: “So it’s like this ah, that’s okay, let’s have dinner together next time.”

After the final page was loaded and all the smart controls returned to normal, Zhuang Yanyu saw that the matter was finished, greeted the two of them, and was quickly gone.

Qin Yiyuan was also about to leave, and as soon as he took a step, he heard Zhou Quan beside him say, “Well, senior, shall we still eat this meal?”

Qin Yiyuan looked back and saw Zhou Quan swallowing expectantly and like he was drooling, showing that he was really hungry.

Qin Yiyuan: “…”

Zhuang Yanyu trotted to the customs inspection gate, and really saw a familiar car.

Seemingly like seeing him coming, the car door opened, and Wen Chenxi, dressed in a suit, stepped out.

“Are you done?”

Zhuang Yanyu took a deep breath and nodded, “Yes.”

Wen Chenxi: “Get in the car first ba⁴.”

The two got into the car, Wen Chenxi checked the time, and it was ten minutes away eight o’clock, which was far beyond the time for the small employee to work.

Wen Chenxi: “Didn’t you say you don’t like to work overtime? You are in technical service. If you don’t want to, the engineering department won’t force you to work overtime.”

Zhuang Yanyu shook his head: “This time the situation was different.”

Wen Chenxi: “Different?”

Zhuang Yanyu said seriously: “Although I don’t want to work overtime, this is more important.”

“How is that so?”

“The management and control system is relatively complicated, and if something goes wrong, it will affect the company and you as well.”

Compared with his good brother, working overtime was nothing!

Wen Chenxi glanced at the small employee sitting next to him. The engineering department offered him such a favorable salary, but he was unwilling to transfer him there because he didn’t want to work overtime.

But now because he didn’t want to affect him, he took the initiative to work overtime?

It had to be said that when hearing this answer, Wen Chenxi suddenly felt that the two hours of waiting were not in vain.

The author has something to say:

The update is late, I’m sorry for the lag today, I’ll send you a red envelope!

In addition, the intelligent system of Shandong Port is being used here!

¹- 您, the respectable ‘you’ to call one’s elders or higher-ups.

²- 哎, just a sound ‘ai’, don’t really mean anything, just chinese way of speaking at the end of a sentence.

³- 哥, a term for older brother, or in this case, calling someone one admires as a form of respect.

⁴- 吧, just a sound ‘ba’, don’t really mean anything, just chinese way of speaking at the end of a sentence.

HelenXD:

Translating computer stuff is exhausting, I cannot comprehend the terms, so please bear with me… ;^;

Xiao Yu is suspected of having OCD… he’s just too cute (♡~♡)/
