“The winning department of Tenda’s First Zero Overtime Competition is—Terminal Chinese Website!”
As soon as Assistant Xin finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned simultaneously toward Ma Yiqun, who was eating a slice of watermelon.
Ma Yiqun froze completely, only reacting after two seconds. He hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth and hands, then went up to the stage.
Everyone responded with enthusiastic applause.
Pei Qian was already standing on stage with the trophy, waiting to present the award.
Pei Qian had already known the results of this competition well in advance.
The selection method for the Zero Overtime Competition was: whichever department worked the least overtime would win the prize.
If multiple departments achieved zero overtime in all four evaluations over a month, then ranking would be determined by department size from largest to smallest, with departments that had already won before being automatically deferred.
Looking at Tenda’s current business departments:
Tenda Games, Fei Huang Studio, Shangyang Games, OTTO Technology, and similar core departments were all filled with workaholics. The employees in these departments all tried various ways to work overtime. Places like OTTO Technology and Fei Huang Studio even had leaders suspected of taking the lead in working overtime, so they definitely couldn’t win the award.
Departments like Headwind Logistics and Slackin’ Internet Café, although they were also striving to implement the no-overtime policy, often encountered unexpected situations where overtime was difficult to avoid completely.
To achieve zero overtime, they needed to further improve their management capabilities.
Departments similar to Dream Venture Capital didn’t need overtime either, but they had too few people, so their priority wasn’t as high.
Therefore, Terminal Chinese Website, which had reached over 30 employees and had never had any overtime records, successfully won the honor of “First Zero Overtime Competition Winning Department.”
Receiving the trophy from Mr. Pei, Ma Yiqun felt somewhat overwhelmed by the honor. After waving to everyone in acknowledgment, he left the stage.
But this segment wasn’t over yet, because Mr. Pei still had to give a speech.
Pei Qian took the microphone from Assistant Xin and cleared his throat.
“Congratulations once again to Ma Yiqun.”
“Although the award has been presented, clearly most of you present haven’t understood the significance of establishing this award.”
“Why are there rewards for not working overtime, while there are no rewards for working overtime?”
“Because for the heads of each department, if your department has overtime, there are only two reasons:”
“First, your department’s work task allocation is unreasonable, with some people being assigned excessive work that can only be completed by working overtime. On this point, you department heads cannot escape blame!”
“Second, certain employees in your department have low work efficiency and cannot complete their tasks within the designated working hours. In such cases, as department heads, you should give these employees sufficient care and assistance!”
“So, everyone must remember firmly: at Tenda, overtime is a disgrace!”
“All department heads should learn from Ma Yiqun and strive to achieve zero overtime!”
After Pei Qian finished speaking, warm applause erupted from below the stage. Many department heads showed expressions of guilt on their faces.
Mr. Pei’s speech had touched their souls, and the overtime phenomenon at Tenda would improve even more in the future!
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this and gestured for Assistant Xin to continue with the next segment.
The exciting, biannual Best Employee Selection!
Li Yada noticed that Bao Xu, sitting next to her, was nervously cracking sunflower seeds, his face pale, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
“Brother Bao, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Bao Xu shook his head: “It’s nothing.”
The previous outstanding employee selections had already left him with very serious psychological trauma, making him unwilling to go out, no matter what.
This was a completely conditioned response, an instinctive reaction.
Although he still instinctively experienced rapid heartbeat and nervousness, Bao Xu genuinely believed that this outstanding employee selection should have nothing to do with him, right?
Not to mention those who had already won the Best Employee Selection and become department heads.
Even if they selected from people who had never won the Best Employee award before, Bao Xu wasn’t the most outstanding one!
During this period, Bao Xu had been following a strategy of keeping a low profile. Not only had he not left any overtime records, but even in his daily work, he gave everyone the impression that “I’m seriously playing games.”
The documents he secretly modified were all sent to Li Yada for submission.
From all perspectives, he shouldn’t have attracted anyone’s attention!
Looking at others:
Ma Yiqun led Terminal Chinese Website to complete a reversal, turning losses into profits, and ran the webnovel training class with excellence.
Zhang Yuan’s Slackin’ Internet Café had expanded to Lin City, and the ROF computer assembly business was developing rapidly, achieving both strong sales and a reputation.
At Shangyang Games, the three leaders Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and Wang Xiaobin led the development of the mobile version of “Hot-Blooded Battle Song” which swept the mobile game market, and now they were diligently developing “BE QUIET”;
At Dream Venture Capital, Ma Yang and He Desheng had invested in three projects: IOI was already certain to make a huge profit, shared telephone booths had become a new cultural symbol of Jingzhou, and the Scholar Express project already had extremely high popularity.
Although OTTO Technology hadn’t yet produced their phone, Chang You and his team worked very seriously and could be called a model team…
None of these people had won the Best Employee award yet!
Even if the Tenda Games Department, as the most senior department receiving the most attention from Mr. Pei, were to be judged based on merit, Li Yada would rank first.
The achievements of these people could all be checked on TPDb’s internal website. Who had made greater contributions was clearly evident.
Thinking this way, he should finally be safe, right?
