Chapter 33: I got promoted!
Chen Mo clicked to take a look.
Zhong Yi: [Chen Mo! Did you see that video? My friend filmed it, and it actually went viral!]
Upon seeing this, Chen Mo replied: 【Yeah, I just saw it.】
Zhong Yi: [My friend is so excited, she keeps telling me that a casual snapshot she took went viral, and she even said she wants to treat you to dinner to thank you for bringing her traffic.]
Chen Mo: [No need, it's just a coincidence.]
When the film was being shot, the other party said that they had obtained my consent.
Chen Mo just didn't expect it to become so popular.
Zhong Yi: [That won't do. She said she absolutely has to invite me, otherwise she'll feel bad.]
Chen Mo: [No need, I'm quite busy with work right now.]
Zhong Yi: [Okay, but you're famous now. Lots of people in my WeChat Moments are sharing this video.]
Chen Mo: [...]
He had just finished talking to Zhong Yi and put down his phone when Su Xiao's message came in again.
Without even looking at the message, Chen Mo knew what the other party wanted to say.
It seems she saw it too.
Su Xiao: [Chen Mo, I just saw your video!]
Su Xiao: [Wow, you sing so well!]
Chen Mo: [Um, it was just a casual singing, not as good as you say.]
Su Xiao: [You're too modest! I listened to it, it was really good, the emotions were particularly well conveyed.]
Su Xiao: [I'm going to write this part of your story into my novel. The male lead becomes famous because of a chance video, hahaha.]
Chen Mo: [Thank you so much.]
Su Xiao: [You're welcome. Remember to sing me a song live next time we meet. Hearing it in the video wasn't enough; it wasn't even finished, just 15 seconds.]
Chen Mo: [Uh...]
He put down his phone and rubbed his temples.
He was busy dealing with these messages all morning.
It's true what they say, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat."
However, to his surprise, this wave of popularity even spread to the company.
When he went to the cafeteria for lunch, several colleagues who were usually quiet greeted him.
"Chen Mo, you're amazing! You sing so well!"
"When are you going to hold a concert? We'll definitely go and support you!"
"I never knew our company had such a talented person like you."
Chen Mo could only laugh it off.
Even the cafeteria lady gave him an extra spoonful of food, smiling and saying, "Young man, you sang well. Eat more to help your voice."
Chen Mo: "..."
When I returned to my workstation in the afternoon, my colleagues surrounded me.
"Chen Mo, how many likes does your video have now?"
"I heard it's almost a million?"
"If it were me, I would seize this wave of traffic and become an online influencer to sell products."
Chen Mo was overwhelmed by the questions and could only give perfunctory answers.
Fortunately, everyone was just having a bit of fun, and after a few jokes, they dispersed.
But what Chen Mo didn't know was...
Another person also saw his video.
Shen Qingyue sat behind a large desk, her fingers gently swiping across the screen of a tablet computer.
The video playing above is the one of Chen Mo singing.
After the video finished playing, she put down her tablet, leaned back in her chair, and seemed lost in thought.
After a while, she pressed the internal phone.
"Minister Huang, come to my office."
"Yes, Mr. Shen, I'll be right there."
A few minutes later, Minister Huang knocked on the office door.
"Mr. Shen, you wanted to see me?"
"sit."
Shen Qingyue pointed to the chair opposite her, and only spoke after Minister Huang sat down.
"I called you here today to ask about the 'Smart Community Management System' project."
She asked, "How's it going?"
"Overall, things went fairly smoothly."
Minister Huang reported truthfully: "Although we encountered some minor setbacks along the way, Chen Mo handled them well. The team's morale has now stabilized, and the progress is back on track."
"A minor setback? What exactly was it?" Shen Qingyue keenly grasped the key point.
Minister Huang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth anyway.
"The main problem is... Chen Mo's current rank and position don't quite match."
He carefully chose his words and said, "He is the deputy team leader of the project, but his own job level is just an ordinary employee. He has to coordinate resources from other departments, and sometimes he will encounter some resistance."
In addition, some people were resentful, feeling he lacked the qualifications, so they sabotaged him behind his back.
"Who exactly is it?" Shen Qingyue asked.
"this……"
Minister Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "Without solid evidence, I can't make any rash statements."
Shen Qingyue remained silent for a few seconds.
She had actually guessed that these things would happen.
After all, who would target an ordinary employee? It's more like targeting yourself.
The seasoned veterans in the company can't stand seeing young people stand out, especially someone like Chen Mo who has no connections and got there entirely through his abilities.
"How did Chen Mo handle it?" she asked.
"He held a project meeting, but instead of confronting those people head-on, he started from the perspective of the team's interests."
Minister Huang repeated Chen Mo's rhetoric of "sharing the good times and making money together."
"What he said is very practical. Everyone works to earn money and develop their careers. Instead of wasting time and energy, we should work together to make the project a success and reap tangible benefits."
After listening, a hint of admiration flashed in Shen Qingyue's eyes.
"This is a good idea; it's practical and very persuasive."
"Yes."
Minister Huang nodded and said, "Moreover, he handled it very maturely. He didn't get emotional because he was being harassed, nor did he come to me to complain. Instead, he found a way to solve the problem himself."
"Um."
Shen Qingyue pondered for a moment before making a decision.
"Since his abilities and performance meet the requirements, let's promote him."
She looked at Minister Huang and said, "Have the HR department draft a personnel transfer document to promote Chen Mo's rank from ordinary employee to supervisor. His position will remain deputy project leader for the time being, but he will enjoy supervisor benefits."
If he continues to perform well after the project concludes, a new technical project team will be formally formed, with him serving as its leader.
Minister Huang was somewhat surprised that President Shen was so agreeable, and said with a smile, "Okay, President Shen, I'll take care of it right away."
"besides."
Shen Qingyue added, "After the document is issued, have a talk with Chen Mo, tell him about the company's decision, and remind him that with the promotion comes greater responsibility, so encourage him to continue to work hard."
"clear."
"Go."
Minister Huang got up and left the office with light steps.
He had wanted to promote Chen Mo for a long time, but due to the resistance within the company, he had not found a suitable opportunity.
Now that President Shen has spoken personally, those obstacles are no longer a problem.
Back in his office, Minister Huang immediately instructed the personnel department to draft the transfer documents to finalize the matter and prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
At 4 p.m., an official personnel transfer notice was sent to all employees' email addresses via the company intranet.
[Notification Regarding the Adjustment of Comrade Chen Mo's Position]
[To all departments and project teams:]
[Following company decision, Chen Mo is appointed as Deputy Project Leader (at the supervisor level) in the Technology Department, responsible for the overall coordination and advancement of the "Smart Community Management System" project, and will enjoy supervisor-level benefits...]
