Chapter 129 Zero Overtime Competition

Wednesday, January 12th.

In his office, Pei Qian was reviewing the latest results of the Tendai Spirit Compatibility Test.

The Tendai Spirit Compatibility Test was conducted almost every week. However, due to the large number of new employees and the different times they joined the company, there were still a batch of employees who hadn't successfully completed their probationary period.

Many of them only had one last chance. If they couldn't pass, they would have to leave with compensation. Their mental state was visibly tense.

Even though Tendai offered a lot of compensation.

Even though they could take the test again next year after leaving.

But after working at Tendai for a while, who would be willing to leave?

During their probationary period, these new employees hadn't really participated in the work. They were all studying. But seeing the work status of others, seeing Tendai's on-time quitting and various fancy benefits, most of them developed a strong desire to work here.

Therefore, the last Tendai Spirit Compatibility Test was crucial for them.

Pei Qian flipped through the results and was surprised to find that the pass rate had significantly increased again.

"All the employees who only had one last chance passed."

"The overall pass rate for this test has reached over 70%."

"At this rate, almost none of the new employees who were recruited will be fired."

"What's going on? Was there a leak?"

"That's not possible."

Pei Qian checked the Tendai Spirit Compatibility Test question bank, slightly puzzled.

Every question in this question bank was personally created by him. All the options were full of confusing elements. Each test randomly extracted questions from the question bank, and the order of the answers was also randomly changed.

Did the website staff who created this program leak the questions?

That shouldn't be the case. No one would dare to blatantly cheat on something that President Pei had explicitly prohibited. The possibility of a leak was very low.

Pei Qian wasn't sure if the website creators had left a backdoor, but if they had and President Pei found out that the questions had been leaked, then the only suspect would be them. It was almost equivalent to self-destruction.

Pei Qian didn't think his employees would be stupid enough to do that.

But the pass rate for this test had indeed increased significantly.

Pei Qian recalled some relevant clues.

"Hmm… the pass rate was very low at the beginning, and then gradually increased."

"New members will definitely communicate with each other privately, but this kind of communication shouldn't have such a big impact. After all, the question bank is completely random. It's impossible to pass just by memorizing without accurately understanding the Tendai spirit."

"In other words, private communication among new employees is only one aspect of the reason."

"The more important reason is that most of the new employees have already grasped the essence of the Tendai spirit."

"Moreover, looking back carefully, the company's overtime phenomenon has indeed improved a lot recently."

"It's not just that these new employees have improved their understanding of the Tendai spirit, even the ideological level of the old employees seems to have improved as well."

"Could it be that this test question improved the company's atmosphere immediately after it was released? Perfectly achieved my original expected goal?"

Pei Qian thought about it and thought that this was the only reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, why had the overtime situation of even the old employees improved?

The number of overtime slots reported by various departments recently had been getting smaller and smaller. Some departments had even had "zero overtime" for two consecutive weeks, which almost made President Pei want to give them trophies.

Wait, give them trophies?

That seems like a good idea!

Pei Qian immediately sent a message to Hao Yun of the Human Resources Department: "Starting this week, we're going to have a zero-overtime competition."

"Each week, we'll tally up the departments that have no overtime at all and give them a 'Zero Overtime This Week' record. We'll evaluate it once a month, and the department with the most 'Zero Overtime' records will receive a trophy, and the department will receive an additional 50,000 yuan bonus!"

"Note, 'Zero Overtime' means that there can't be any signs of overtime, whether it's at night or on weekends, whether it's at home or in the company! There can't be any document upload records during non-working hours."

"For rotating jobs like Reverse Wind Logistics, it should be based on actual working days."

"Your Human Resources Department and the Administration Department will supervise together and supervise each other! If you find any suspicious signs, report them to me immediately and revoke the 'Zero Overtime This Week' qualification."

"If multiple departments complete 'Zero Overtime This Week' four times at the same time, then the department with the most people will win the award, but in the next evaluation, the department that hasn't won an award will be given priority."

50,000 yuan a month wasn't much, because this was the highest amount allowed by the system.

Why was he being a little stingy this time… probably because the system felt that it wasn't very convincing for Pei Qian to give bonuses for "zero overtime"…

But that wasn't important, because this was an honor, and the bonus was just incidental.

As long as there was a trophy and a bonus, and President Pei personally gave the award, these departments would naturally be motivated to compete for this award.

In this way, other departments would follow suit and form healthy competition.

Hao Yun quickly replied: "Okay, President Pei, I'll do it right away."

…

Cosmic Heaven Street Shopping Mall.

A large crowd had gathered around the shared phone booth.

Ruan Guangjian was seriously filling in the final details for this painting. After more than two days, this painting could be considered basically completed. It would be completely handed over after repairing it for about half a day.

This was an original painting of "Justice Guardian Modest" with a very prominent impasto style.

In the painting, Modest was strong and resolute, his broad arms seemed to be protecting everyone. Even though his back was covered with various weapons, he was still fearless and indomitable.

Ruan Guangjian had been painting here for more than two days. During this time, the crowd of onlookers had been increasing.

Everyone watched as the bare side of the phone booth was filled with paint, and a painting with a prominent style and full of domineering appeared. They were all filled with emotion.

"What is this painting? It's so cool!"

"This is a real master, painting so quickly and well. I can't wait to take pictures after it's finished."

"I searched the internet for a long time, but I couldn't find a similar image. Could this be an original?"

"It looks a lot like a game concept art. Maybe some new game is using this phone booth to attract investment and advertise?"

"I feel that this phone booth will be demolished in at most a week. Isn't it better to put up posters and exhibition boards to advertise?"

"Where is it as awesome as painting it directly!"

"That's right, using posters and exhibition boards is called color printing and publicity, but this is called painting, it's called art!"

The crowd was discussing. After all, it was rare to see an artist painting in public.

Ruan Guangjian added another stroke, stood a little further away, looked at it, nodded slightly in satisfaction, and felt that the effect was good.

The painting was generally completed. He would complete it completely after supplementing the details in the afternoon.

It was almost time to take a break.

Zhang Wang immediately handed over a drink: "Master, you've worked hard!"

Ruan Guangjian was not polite and reached out to take it: "Your pavilion is also well designed. After this painting is painted, it actually matches the phone booth very well."

Zhang Wang smiled: "It's mainly because the master paints well."

"By the way, Master, I'm also thinking of putting a seal in the pavilion, round or square, what do you think…"

Ruan Guangjian immediately understood: "That's easy to say. I'll draw an original pattern for you later, and you can take this picture to someone to engrave it, it'll be very fast."

As for what to draw, that was also easy to say. Just simplify the lines of this hero, and then match it with the hero's name and the phone booth's number.

…

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Pei Qian, who had just finished a course, walked out of the examination room somewhat exhausted.

He was so tired!

Although it was an open-book exam and the answers were all in the book, he flipped through it for a long time but couldn't find them…

In the end, he could only rely on his super-fast hand speed to copy all the content that he thought was relevant onto the paper, filling it up.

Passing should be no problem, but getting a high score was impossible.

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, he was careless!

Although he knew it was an open-book exam and had read the book before the exam, he was still flustered during the exam.

Because he had something to do and didn't go to the class where the key points were highlighted…

After this exam, there were still several open-book exams behind him, and Pei Qian had only read a little more than half of the closed-book exam notes borrowed from Old Ma.

Pei Qian felt a deep sense of despair.

However, looking at Old Ma next to him, he was completely in high spirits, a completely energetic young man, not at all like he had just finished the exam.

Pei Qian speculated that it was possible that Ma Yang had indeed done very well on the exam, or it was possible that he felt good about himself.

The latter probability was probably higher.

Pei Qian considered that he hadn't caught up with highlighting the key points for the remaining two or three open-book exams, and decided to go to Dream Chasing Ventures with Old Ma.

Because Old Ma had been balancing work and study recently and had put his textbooks and notes at Dream Chasing Ventures.

Pei Qian felt that he should still be able to salvage his remaining open-book exams.

When he arrived at Dream Chasing Ventures, Pei Qian randomly found a seat and sat down. Ma Yang went to get his notes and textbooks.

Pei Qian took a cup of coffee from the coffee machine, drank it, and subconsciously looked around.

Suddenly, he realized a problem.

Why were there so few people?

Even He Desheng wasn't there!

Looking at the time, it was only a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, it wasn't even time to get off work yet?

Pei Qian was first a little confused, and then a burst of excitement in his heart.

Could it be that He Desheng and the others knew that President Ma had an exam today, and the leader would probably not come to the company, so they secretly left early? They slipped away?

Look, this was the team that Brother Ma had brought out, so reliable!

Pei Qian couldn't wait to establish these people as positive examples and commend them throughout the company.

Just as Pei Qian was thinking, He Desheng and the others came back.

Pei Qian: "?"

As soon as He Desheng entered the door, he saw Pei Qian and hurried over to say hello: "President Pei! You're here?"

Pei Qian was a little puzzled: "What did you guys go to do?"

If they had left early, even if someone had tipped them off, they couldn't have rushed back so quickly, right?

Could this just be a coincidence? Did they just go out to the toilet?

That wasn't right either. Why did so many people go to the toilet together?

He Desheng smiled and replied: "Oh, the factory in the suburbs of Jingzhou has already made a batch of ready-made products according to the sample of the shared phone booth. I went to inspect them."

Pei Qian was even more puzzled: "Huh? Isn't this the work you should be responsible for?"

He Desheng smiled: "That's true, President Pei."

"But, the shared phone booth is a project of Dream Chasing Ventures after all. Zhang Wang can't handle it alone, so we just lent a hand."

"Mainly, we don't have anything to do at work now, it's just a small effort."

He Desheng was telling the truth. Before, when they were at work, they could still play games with President Ma after work, but now President Ma said that they should work hard and not play games.

These people usually only screened proposals at most, and the workload was completely insufficient, so they also helped Zhang Wang deal with the shared phone booth project.

Pei Qian: "???"

He had misunderstood!

He thought that these people were so ideologically aware that they had learned to leave early, but that wasn't the case at all!

These people had finished their own work and were even helping with other people's work!

This kind of thinking must not be allowed!

Zhang Wang, this person, and the shared phone booth project were originally quite reliable, and it looked like they were going to lose money steadily.

If He Desheng and the others went to help him, what if something went wrong?

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "Well, isn't your workload not saturated? I have a new project to give you."

"Shared Top Student."
