"Sister Xi, how is it?"
Even though Pei Wen was a professional, he was a bit nervous at this moment.
Qiu Xi looked at the data table in front of her, thinking about what Pei Wen had just discussed with her, and she had already nodded in her heart.
Qiu Xi smiled and said, "Pei Wen, you really think highly of me with this profession!"
"Of course!"
"I've heard everyone mention Sister Xi's deeds when we were at the Shen family's place before," Pei Wen explained somewhat honestly.
In fact, there was more than just that!
When he came over before, it was Sister Xi who gave him the formula, and sometimes she could point out key details he had overlooked.
Qiu Xi nodded with a smile, "Alright~"
"The idea is indeed good, but this experiment is probably not finished yet?"
Pei Wen was currently researching essence-like products, and his goals were set high, so there had been no breakthroughs so far.
Qiu Xi had also looked at it just now, and the data was indeed quite bleak...
Based on the results she had just seen... they should still be at a standstill...
The situation was indeed as Qiu Xi had anticipated. As soon as Pei Wen heard it, his entire spirit and energy seemed to drain away.
"Yes, indeed... The few of us have been in the lab for a long time, and we haven't seen any breakthroughs."
"Has it always been because the materials were not up to standard?"
"Mm..."
"The materials were provided by Mr. Shen. We've all looked at them, and they are all excellent, but the experiments still don't work!"
Pei Wen sounded a little annoyed as he spoke!
He had wasted a lot of materials and invested a lot of effort, only to end up with one failure after another...
People were becoming dejected...
Qiu Xi looked at him with a complex expression. Why did this person look so much like a bookworm now?
"Why don't you go to Uncle Shen's place?"
"Their lab is still there, so you can go and conduct on-site investigations to see if anything is missing."
"Even if you don't gain anything, consider it a business trip."
She didn't have time to go to the lab with this bookworm who only had research in his mind.
Not to mention the upcoming competition, but also because she had hired people with her money, she couldn't be the one to solve every problem for them.
However, it was fine to offer some advice; whether it worked or not depended on their own experiments.
"Sister Xi, can we... go?" Pei Wen was a little unsure.
He had actually thought about going to see before.
But the company had been very busy for the past six months, and even he, who was in the lab, had to come over to handle business every few days.
And because the hiring standards were a bit high, preferring quality over quantity, the company was still short of people recently...
At such a time, if he took a long business trip, even if it was for inspection, it would likely accumulate a lot of work.
By the time he returned, he wasn't afraid of overtime, but the backlog of work would be unmanageable.
"How can you not?!"
"Go ahead, I'll talk to Jing Shu about it later."
"However, you can only bring one person with you, otherwise, I won't be able to convince her."
She might not come to the company much, but she was aware of the company's situation.
Upon hearing this, Pei Wen immediately stood up, a little excited, "Okay~"
"Sister Xi, don't worry, I can go alone without any problem!"
As Sister Xi said, he would only know if he could solve it after going!
"Okay, then that's settled. I'll tell Jing Shu about it when I see her later."
"Okay~"
"Then that's it. You go and arrange it first, I'll go check on the other two."
"Alright, then I'll wait for Sister Xi's good news."
He couldn't wait to set off!
He was earning such a high salary but hadn't achieved much yet, which made him feel very guilty!
Even the several formulas from before were provided by Sister Xi herself, which he had then improved and put into practice...
"Just wait," Qiu Xi waved her hand and walked out.
Turning around, she went straight to Song Jing Shu and Chu Lan Zhi's "territory."
The two desks were currently in one large office, making communication convenient.
As Qiu Xi entered, before she could see anyone, she heard voices.
"Sister Xi, you're here. Here are the prepared documents, please take a look."
It was Song Jing Shu.
Qiu Xi subconsciously took a step back, "Jing Shu... We'll talk about this later, I have something to do..."
"Sister Xi, it's okay!" Song Jing Shu was efficient. She then moved a chair for Qiu Xi and handed her a pen.
"You sit here and talk as you read."
"Since Chu Lan Zhi and I are also busy, we'll be here together. You just say what you need to say."
She smiled professionally, and Qiu Xi looked at her speechlessly, so she simply sat down.
"Okay, I'll read it."
With the employees being so diligent and the steps already laid out, what else could she say?
Chu Lan Zhi, who was beside them, silently gave Song Jing Shu a look: You're really capable!
A laid-back boss needs talented people like Song Jing Shu!
Song Jing Shu: Just average, really~
"Sister Xi, you had something to say, right? Go ahead."
At this moment, Song Jing Shu was still immersed in the joy of having her boss under her control, completely unaware of the somewhat deep gaze Qiu Xi was giving her.
"Mm, there is something." Qiu Xi opened her mouth casually, as if unintentionally.
"I was just talking to Pei Wen, and he mentioned that they are currently researching the essence water series, and they're having some difficulties..."
A very natural way of putting it...
Song Jing Shu nodded, "Mm, we know that. The experiments haven't been successful, and that guy Pei Wen has been complaining for a long time."
"I just found out about this... so I plan to have him go on a business trip to Uncle Shen's place for a while to investigate."
"But..."
Song Jing Shu, who had uttered just one word, immediately looked up, "Sister Xi, isn't this a bit too sudden?"
"Which experiment doesn't fail? Maybe we can drag it out a bit longer?"
It's not that she's being difficult...
It's just that they are short of people!!!
"..." Qiu Xi was a little helpless, "If Pei Wen stays here, he'll be even more anxious. It's better to let him go."
Song Jing Shu, "..."
She understood...
But this was a time when they needed people...
"Alright, let him go. He can only bring one person, and the rest will stay."
Song Jing Shu, "..."
He still has to bring someone...
"And he's going to S City. If the company has any matters to discuss with Mr. Shen regarding cooperation there, just hand them all over to him."
"Okay, then I'll arrange it later."
If that's the case, then this trip isn't entirely unacceptable.
More than half of Xiguang's collaborations in the past six months have been with Mr. Shen's side, so there's quite a lot of work.
If Pei Wen takes care of all these matters on this trip, then she can accept it.
"Mm, make the arrangements."
...
"By the way, Lan Zhi, should we consider hiring a few more people?"
There were enough laborers doing the work below, but those who could manage and take responsibility were not enough.
Chu Lan Zhi, who had been watching the show for a long time, immediately perked up upon hearing this.
"Sister Xi, it's not that I'm not hiring. If the person isn't qualified, it won't do any good to hire them!"
The company isn't short of money, but they can't be throwing it away like a spendthrift!
When hiring, it's difficult to poach experienced people, and young people without experience are hesitant to join...
In fact, it's not just others who are hesitant; they themselves are also hesitant!
Given the high salaries, if someone here is restless or lacks foresight, it would be a big loss!
To ensure talent stability and reduce future turnover, this matter needs to be handled cautiously.
"..." Qiu Xi listened and then paused again, "That's fine... you decide, just make sure Jing Shu doesn't complain."
"Sister Xi, you can rest assured about that. Jing Shu is even pickier than I am!"
Besides, he was already used to being nagged. Once the company is stable, these issues won't arise.
"Mm, that's good."
After speaking, Qiu Xi continued to bury her head in the documents.
Reading at a glance and remembering everything, stacking documents like this didn't take much time for Qiu Xi.
Wherever she could offer suggestions, she would mark them with a pen and attach a sticky note.
Therefore, in just the time it took Song Jing Shu to arrange Pei Wen's business trip, she had already finished reading most of them.
When everyone returned from being busy, she would have finished reading as well.
