Chapter 178 New Elephant

Chapter 178 New Elephant (Part 2)

When Wei Hongsi returned to the company, it was already past four in the afternoon.

He first went to the "Cognitive Purification" laboratory on the 11th floor. Many pieces of equipment and instruments were delivered today. Some of them he knew the function of but had never operated; others were older models he had only used but had never seen the latest generation.

This feeling is like when you were a child and your father bought you a toy you wanted. After school, you couldn't wait to look at it, even if you didn't play with it. Just imagining it in your mind was enough to bring you a lot of joy.

The delivered instruments and equipment have been placed in their designated locations according to the laboratory's plan, but none of them have been disassembled or reassembled. Professional engineers will come to assemble and debug them in the next day or two, and they will be ready for use next week.

These precious gems are very important to the CDD and SR projects, including key equipment used to realize the "Neural Bridge 2.0" working environment.

Several engineers from the CDD project team were checking the equipment against the list. Judging from their expressions, it was clear that their thoughts were similar to Wei Hongsi's.

Even veteran engineers who have lost interest in their work can rekindle their long-dormant passion when faced with so many romantic opportunities, let alone those who are still motivated.

This passion for the new equipment and instruments may not be a deep-seated love, but it at least represents their recognition of their work.

They were acutely aware of the value and scarcity of this equipment, enabling them to accurately determine the CDD project team's position within the company. For them, this equipment carried more weight than the company's announcement from two days prior.

After all, no matter how much the importance of the project team is emphasized, or how high the leader's position is on the board of directors, nothing is more tangible and convincing than these pieces of equipment.

Therefore, when Wei Hongsi wandered around the laboratory looking at each piece of equipment, his project team members would sincerely call him "General Manager Wei" and then introduce the items they were responsible for checking.

Wei Hongsi toured the laboratory and went to the 16th floor with great satisfaction.

The environment here has also changed somewhat.

After Yu Sheng was promoted to general manager, he moved to Gu Shiming's former office, which was then used by his successor, Yao Huafeng.

Before being promoted to Director of Department Two, Yao Huafeng worked as a senior project manager for several years and led two large projects.

Opposite his original office is a large area of ​​independent offices separated by glass walls, which is further divided into six semi-enclosed office areas.

This layout was originally intended for large project offices. With the official establishment of the "Cognitive Science and Engineering Project Department," this entire area was vacated and allocated to Wei Hongsi.

Prior to this, the project team members were seated very far apart, which was not conducive to work coordination.

The six semi-enclosed areas can accommodate six working groups, which is very suitable for his medium- and long-term plans for the project.

Although the project team currently only has twenty people, we will gradually add more in the future.

When Wei Hongsi returned to the 16th floor, everyone was busy "moving".

He went to the new office area and was taken aback to find several female colleagues busy at work. He only realized it was Lu Jiaqi who had brought people to help when he saw Li Xuan.

"President Wei!" Li Xuan greeted Wei Hongsi with a smile as she approached him.

"Thank you for your hard work," Wei Hongsi said with a smile. "Where is your CEO, Mr. Lu?"

Li Xuan pointed to the opposite side: "It's in your office."

"Thank you." Wei Hongsi nodded.

The location Li Xuan pointed to was Yao Huafeng's former office.

This office is directly opposite the independent work area, making it very convenient to communicate with project team members, so Wei Hongsi moved there.

Wei Hongsi entered the room and saw Lu Jiaqi wiping the cabinet inside with a rag. He smiled and said:

J

"Mr. Lu, are you personally cleaning for me?"

Lu Jiaqi glanced back, then continued working, saying, "You're so busy, and all the people working under you are men, so you're probably not very good at this kind of work. Anyway, we're free this afternoon, so we'll help you clean up. Consider it a way to keep things going."

"Thank you, thank you." Wei Hongsi stepped forward to lend a hand and ask someone to help clean up. He just watched from the side, feeling particularly uncomfortable.

Lu Jiaqi said, "Alright, you don't need to do anything, it's almost done."

Wei Hongsi saw that the room was indeed very clean, so there was no need for him to pretend to be diligent.

Not long after, Lu Jiaqi finished wiping the cabinet, threw the rag into the trash can, picked up the trash bag, tied it up, placed it at the door, and put on a new trash bag.

"Please sit down and rest for a while." Wei Hongsi felt very embarrassed.

Lu Jiaqi sat down, stretched her wrists, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Wei, are you satisfied with what you've seen?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Wei Hongsi nodded repeatedly. "I see several people from your group have come. How about we all have dinner together tonight?"

Lu Jiaqi said, "No need. It's the weekend, and many people have plans for tonight."

"Oh." Wei Hongsi nodded. "Then it depends on your schedule. I'll invite you later."

Lu Jiaqi said, "If you organize a small team-building activity for your project team and our working group, I wouldn't mind."

Wei Hong thought for a moment and said, "Your suggestion is excellent. Our project team has just been established; shouldn't we organize a team-building activity?"

Lu Jiaqi said, "When a new team is formed, we usually hold a team building activity to let everyone get to know each other and facilitate cooperation in the future. This usually takes about two months."

Wei Hongsi asked, "You mean it's a bit early to organize something now?"

"Yes," Lu Jiaqi nodded. "The reason it's usually two months is because by then everyone has a certain understanding of each other, but isn't completely familiar yet. If it's too early, there's still a sense of distance between them, and some people might feel awkward when they're together. If it's too late, it's easy for small cliques to form, which isn't conducive to unity."

Wei Hongsi nodded: "That makes sense. Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought of that. But given the situation in our project team, a month should be about right."

Lu Jiaqi smiled and praised, "That's right, President Wei is indeed smart."

The situation she described earlier referred to a new team composed entirely of unfamiliar people. Wei Hongsi's project team, however, consists of people who have worked at Zhiwei for some time, primarily from departments one, two, three, and six, and already shows the beginnings of internal cliques.

Everyone is new to the project team, so there's an adjustment period. They might be a little reserved at first, but this won't last too long. Having a team-building activity a month after the team was formed is indeed a good idea.
