Lin Feng felt relieved that Chen Li and the others did not notice that his computer tower was missing. He had managed to connect the computer tower in time, and as he looked at the familiar startup interface, he sighed in relief.
If others had discovered that his computer had such an embarrassing virus, Lin Feng believed he would have felt very awkward.
Well, after completing the test, Lin Feng cautiously performed a series of operations on the computer. It turned out that the computer had already recovered its health.
After making himself a cup of tea, Lin Feng continued to browse the internet, looking at some websites he wanted to visit.
One of the benefits of hanging out with Liu Yan was that he could casually surf the internet and learn about new things. To put it nicely, it broadened his horizons and made his designs more realistic. In reality, Lin Feng thought this was just an excuse for himself to wander online.
Of course, while browsing online, Lin Feng was also contemplating a question: when he applied for the job, he promised to make himself indispensable. This positioning and requirement had always been on his mind. Therefore, Lin Feng knew he not only had to establish himself in Cai Zi but also needed to perform exceptionally well.
After all, an employee who performs adequately will not be missed if they are let go. Only an employee whose daily contributions make others feel they cannot do without them can make a company reluctant to fire them.
Thinking about it, Lin Feng realized that in unavoidable circumstances, he might need to utilize his foresight as a reborn individual.
Just like this time, it was his foresight that helped him understand the future trends in the advertising industry. Thanks to his guidance, Liu Yan was able to design an advertisement that satisfied the picky Rain Shield company.
Thus, Lin Feng realized that the foresight of a reborn person is indeed very useful. It is not an exaggeration to say that this foresight is an intangible wealth. Although it has only been ten years, there are countless opportunities that can arise within that time frame. Lin Feng was aware of trends across various industries; how could this wealth be underestimated?
Now Lin Feng realized that as a reborn individual, he had not effectively utilized the resources available to him. Whether in work or making money, he relied on the abilities gained from his rebirth rather than leveraging his foresight.
This was essentially a waste.
Wasting resources is shameful; Lin Feng suddenly felt quite shameless about it.
After pondering for a while, Lin Feng decided to rely on his foresight to create miracles for himself. "Aren't you an advertising company? If pushed too hard, I can directly write creative advertisements for major companies in the future. I’ll finish all the ads within a week and then leisurely enjoy my tea while browsing online. If someone catches my eye, I'll throw them my future advertising proposal and calmly accept their surprise."
"Alright, it's settled." Looking at the clock on the wall, he realized it was mealtime. Lin Feng murmured a summary of his decision and then got up to head to the cafeteria.
Having been here for so many days, what Lin Feng was most satisfied with, aside from the working environment of their team, was the cafeteria. The cafeteria operated on a non-profit basis; regardless of how much money it made, the staff could only receive a basic salary. Of course, this so-called basic salary was not low, as chefs are also people who need to support their families.
Moreover, the company had arranged for an undergraduate student to oversee the cafeteria. His main responsibility was to record feedback from everyone about the cafeteria. This meant that his daily job involved observing people after they finished their meals and then approaching them to ask how they felt about the food, whether it was tasty, and if the hygiene conditions were satisfactory. He would then document this feedback and relay it to the cafeteria staff.
While it was called feedback, in reality, it served as a form of supervision. He was a company employee specifically hired to collect feedback from staff after their meals. If he pointed out areas that needed improvement, the cafeteria staff had no choice but to listen.
This was indeed a good approach, effectively addressing everyone's dining concerns, which made Lin Feng quite pleased.
Additionally, Lin Feng heard that Colorful Vision Company was just one of the companies within the group, and the entire group provided similar conveniences for its employees. Thus, subconsciously, while enjoying delicious meals, Lin Feng developed a favorable impression of both this company and the group.
"It's a nice place to pass the time; at least I don't have to worry about finding a fly in my food," was Lin Feng's assessment of the cafeteria.
After lunch, Lin Feng took a stroll around the park next to the company before returning to his seat.
"Everyone stop what you're doing; Minister Zhu has something to say," Chen Li announced as she appeared, followed by Zhu Jie with a smile on his face.
As for Chen Li, Lin Feng currently had no special feelings towards her. The initial fondness he felt after their chance encounter at the bar had gradually faded. Now, he regarded Chen Li merely as a relatively fair superior to her subordinates; thus, her lifestyle habits and attitudes had no bearing on him.
It was true that he did not dislike Chen Li, but not disliking someone did not necessarily mean having positive feelings towards them. Lin Feng understood this distinction clearly; this was how he currently viewed Chen Li.
"How did everyone enjoy lunch?" Zhu Jie asked, patting his slightly protruding belly.
"It was fine," everyone replied in response to their "leader's" inquiry.
Everyone knew that Zhu Jie wasn't genuinely concerned about whether they enjoyed their meal; it was just a customary way for a leader to greet everyone before speaking. There was no need to take it too seriously.
However, at least it signaled that Zhu Jie wasn't there to reprimand them today, which was good news.
"Last time I assigned you all the advertising planning task for Rain Shield Company, I knew it wasn't an easy project. The main reason I gave it to your team was my trust in you all. As it turns out, your team worked hard and easily completed what seemed like a difficult task," Zhu Jie said smoothly, familiar with such formalities.
Clearly, Zhu Jie often used these kinds of pleasantries and was quite accustomed to them.
"There's nothing significant about being here today; it's just to acknowledge everyone's hard work. Of course, this is merely verbal recognition. I will report back to the company leadership and definitely strive for material rewards for everyone." After delivering a series of formalities, Zhu Jie began to get to the point. It was evident that even when he was addressing serious matters, he was still being evasive. What does "strive for" mean? It's quite simple; it has a similar meaning to "do one's best," implying that there may be some rewards, but not necessarily.
This kind of talk might work to deceive others, but those present were clearly not easily fooled.
They all understood the underlying message in Zhu Jie's words.
That is, the responsibility of writing the report would fall on him; he would be the one drafting it.
Why would he want to take charge of writing the report? Typically, subordinates prepare the report for their leaders to review, right?
Everyone understood this as well; it was merely a way for him to highlight his contributions in the report, suggesting that everyone succeeded under his leadership.
This was clear to everyone; after all, the credit wouldn't be theirs anyway. There was no point in competing for it. Since he wanted it, they would give it to him, as long as their bonuses weren't affected.
It was simply a matter of mutual benefit. Everyone had come to terms with it long ago.
In fact, it was clear that not coming to terms with it wasn't an option.
"Well, that's all. In short, I see your efforts and appreciate them. Keep up the good work; the company will not treat you unfairly." Seeing that there were no objections from the group, Zhu Jie wrapped up his speech with more formalities.
As Zhu Jie prepared to leave, everyone exchanged a few polite remarks before he departed.
It all felt rather dull to Lin Feng.
"Hey... how many times has he repeated this boring speech?" Noticing that everyone was busy and Zhu Jie had left, Lin Feng nudged Liu Yan beside him and asked.
"I've lost count; it's too many to remember." Liu Yan rubbed her eyes, realizing she had nearly dozed off listening to Zhu Jie speak, and replied lazily.
"Liu Yan, I suddenly thought of a question I want to ask you." Lin Feng said suddenly, turning to Liu Yan.
"Go ahead..." Liu Yan remained in a lazy state and replied sluggishly.
"You said that working in a place like this, with a boss like Zhu Jie, sometimes makes you feel unmotivated, right?" Lin Feng directly threw out his question.
"Shh... Lin Feng, are you trying to get yourself in trouble? Let me teach you something: in a company, unless you don't want to work here anymore, it's best not to say such things, especially not to your colleagues," Liu Yan quickly covered Lin Feng's mouth, surprised by his bold statement.
"Is it the same in our team?" Lin Feng asked, noticing Liu Yan looking around cautiously. He found her quite cute at that moment.
"Although everyone in our team is nice and wouldn't do something foolish like spreading rumors, as employees, we should develop this habit. You never know when someone around you might be willing to engage in such backstabbing behavior," Liu Yan continued to explain to Lin Feng, showing that she genuinely cared about him.
"Oh, I understand. Since I've already asked, does that mean you have to give me an answer this time?" Lin Feng didn't quite grasp the full meaning of Liu Yan's words but insisted on getting a response because he had his own motives.
"Well, it's reasonable. We just graduated and should focus on building our own foundation before thinking about taking risks," Liu Yan thought for a moment and finally said this to Lin Feng.
Although Liu Yan didn't explicitly state it, Lin Feng could sense the underlying message: clearly, living under the pressure of a boss's mood was not what Liu Yan wanted either.
However, for some kind of survival instinct, she had to adapt and learn to be temporarily satisfied.
"Hehe... that's true." Satisfied with Liu Yan's response, Lin Feng felt pleased. He believed that although Liu Yan spoke delicately, she wasn't someone who would settle for mediocrity.
Thus, Liu Yan was added to Lin Feng's list of potential targets for undermining.
