Chapter 170 Cleaning Up

Chapter 170 Cleaning Up (Part 2)

After returning to the company, Wei Hongsi searched online for information about "Newović" but found nothing. About ten minutes later, he decisively gave up on further investigation.

The upheaval that Director Shi mentioned is likely still confined to that company; or perhaps some problems have been exposed, but related information has been blocked online. Furthermore, understanding the situation in KR from within China is itself subject to many limitations.

If obvious signs can be found online, then it's not a "major upheaval," and Director Liang probably wouldn't need to obtain information through other channels.

Nevertheless, Wei Hongsi still approached Gu Shiming and reported the situation. Director Shi's reminder wasn't directed at him personally, but rather at their project, namely the company Zhiwei.

Gu Shiming was also surprised to hear this. He pondered for a moment and said to Wei Hongsi, "Then put aside the limiting factors such as cost and resources, and come up with a new project plan as soon as possible. We'll discuss and finalize it first thing tomorrow morning."

Wei Hongsi agreed. Back in his office, he began revising the CDD project plan.

The conspiracy of the Light Guide Society in Yuecheng failed, the "psychological virus" did not spread widely, and no similar cases have been found in Taiwan. Therefore, although the CDD project is very important, it is not urgent.

In this context, investment in the project is inevitably limited. Even with official backing, the return on investment must still be considered. For research projects involving national security, the cost of investment may not be a primary concern, but the efficiency of resource utilization must be taken into account.

Now that a foreign buyer with an urgent need has suddenly appeared, the situation is different. Although the specific situation in KR is still unclear, since Director Shi specifically gave a reminder, it certainly wasn't unfounded.

Anyone involved in R&D projects has dreamed of having plenty of money, manpower, resources, and favorable policies.

Unfortunately, the reality is that it's already quite good if one of these conditions is met. The research and development environment is always constrained by various factors, and a lot of energy and time needs to be spent on things outside of research and development work.

What Wei Hongsi is now facing is a near-ideal situation. Although it's impossible to have everything he wants, as long as his needs are reasonable, they can generally be met.

In his new plan, Wei Hongsi prioritized time as the primary factor, and then matched various needs with time as the basis for his plan.

In addition, he added a remote support system to the original plan. At that time, patients in KR country suffering from "mental pollution" can be treated in their own country, but all data will be collected in C country.

(Note: Country C is the country where the protagonist is located, taken from the first letter of Central Nation)

KR is also a country belonging to the Eastern cultural sphere, although they vehemently deny it. Wei Hongsi believes that preserving relevant data, especially treatment data for seriously ill patients, is still very useful.

Wei Hongsi thoroughly enjoyed this work. After all, such an opportunity was rare, and he didn't know when he would have such good support again.

After dinner, he went back to work for a while longer, and by 8 p.m., the new plan was ready. Apart from adding a remote support system, the other technical changes were minor, and it was largely the same as the previous design.

After get off work, Wei Hongsi and Xia Shiyu drove back to their dormitory together. On the way, Wei Hongsi briefly explained the treatment to Xia Shiyu.

The "death order" was successful.

Because Xia Yuansheng's case is the most complex, his treatment will be postponed until last. Gaining experience from treating the first four victims will help minimize the risk of unforeseen complications.

But this already filled Xia Shiyu with excitement and anticipation. His father's illness had lasted for several months, so a couple more days wouldn't make a difference.

The following morning, Gu Shiming convened a meeting in room 2206 with several senior executives from various business lines, along with Qian Jiayu, to discuss Wei Hongsi's newly revised CDD project plan.

Including the one at the shareholders' meeting, Wei Hongsi has already given a complete report on this project twice. The senior executives are already very familiar with it, so there is no need for him to give a long explanation. He only needs to focus on introducing the modified and added content.

After listening, everyone offered only one suggestion and made no changes. If "Newovičs" really runs into problems, then we'll proceed according to the new plan; there's nothing more to discuss.

After the meeting, Qian Jiayu stopped Wei Hongsi and spoke to him privately about something: "The company's board of directors is about to be re-elected, and President Dai has proposed that you serve as the board secretary."

Wei Hongsi paused for a moment, then pointed to himself: "Me?"

Qian Jiayu smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's you."

Wei Hongsi asked, "What kind of work does a board secretary do, and am I capable of doing it?"

Qian Jiayu said, "You'll definitely be able to do it after studying for a while; it's not that difficult. However, doing this kind of thing will distract you."

Wei Hongsi was even more puzzled: "Then why did you still need to contact me?"

Qian Jiayu explained, "The main purpose is to give you a suitable identity, so that you can legitimately attend some meetings. It also makes it easier for you to communicate with the heads of various centers and departments, which is conducive to advancing the work."

Wei Hongsi understood somewhat. This was probably his reward for being a vanguard at the shareholders' meeting; he could continue to be a pioneer in similar situations in the future, and no one would question his qualifications to attend.

Furthermore, this role is indeed very beneficial for the progress of the work. Although he only leads one project team, he needs to collaborate with multiple departments in his work.

His current communication with other department leaders is actually within the framework of the IR1 and CDU project teams. However, these two project teams are temporary. If he were to directly contact them after they are disbanded, it would be considered relying on personal connections, which is very inappropriate.

But he still had a question: "Wouldn't that mean I'm just occupying a position without doing any work? Who will do the work that belongs to the board secretary?"

Qian Jiayu said, "Of course it's still me. President Dai's idea is to let you be listed as a co-author, and I, as a part-time employee, will continue to do so."

Wei Hongsi couldn't help but laugh: "That's quite embarrassing."

Qian Jiayu laughed and said, "You don't need to be so polite. As the board secretary, you are nominally a senior executive, but you don't have a rank or a corresponding salary."

Wei Hongsi nodded: "It really is just a hollow reputation."

Qian Jiayu patted Wei Hongsi on the shoulder: "It's okay, you can learn slowly. You can't expect me to do this part-time forever, can you?"

Wei Hongsi said, "Okay, I will study hard."

Qian Jiayu said, "Of course, there are other reasons for letting you join the board of directors, such as reaching a certain number of orders and sending a signal to certain people."
