Chapter 418 - Wu Bin’s Summary (1/2)
In the evening…
On the 16th floor of Shenhua View, at the HR department of Tengda Corporation…
It was time to knock off. The writer from Zhongdian Chinese Network who had come to be educated on the Tengda spirit stood up reluctantly and said goodbye to Wu Bin.
“Thank you very much!
“I’ve learned a lot from today’s lesson about the Tengda spirit.
“I think you speak exceptionally well. When I get back, I’ll try writing slower and adjusting the pace of my story! After that, I’ll try writing a few new plotlines to break out of my boundaries!”
Wu Bin smiled subtly. “Don’t mention it. It’s every Tengda employee’s responsibility to pass down the Tengda spirit.”
At that moment, the setting sun shone through the window and illuminated his body, seeming to give him a multi-colored, Buddha-like glow. After sending that writer off, Wu Bin began to pack up his things and get ready to leave the office.
Tengda was to hold recruitment drives twice a year. Thus, the HR department normally did not have much work to do. Wu Bin had already become the designated ‘trainer of the Tengda spirit’. He was in charge of teaching Zhongdian Chinese Network’s writers about the Tengda spirit and using it to guide them in their writing process.
While guiding the writers, Wu Bin realized that he had developed a deeper understanding of the Tengda spirit!
This feeling could be likened to what senior monks felt when they taught their disciples about Buddhism. The more they experienced, the deeper their understanding of Buddha’s teachings would become.
If he had not been used to teaching the Tengda spirit to Cui Geng before, then he had definitely gotten the hang of it now. He could summarize everything that he had learned in nineteen words:
Make hinting the norm, use inducement as encouragement, teach according to aptitude, and achieve the goal through different routes!
While teaching, Wu Bin had realized that those authors faced vastly different issues.
For instance, Cui Geng mainly lacked direction and motivation.
On the other hand, Ming Yu was filled with motivation, and he was a hard worker. However, he was working hard and not smart.
Today’s student faced different problems as well. He had no confidence in himself and wrote very conservatively, not daring to try new content.
Wu Bin had observed all of those problems while chatting with the writers. Of course, the writers also knew their own problems. After all, every writer hoped to become a novel god one day. Often, they reflected a lot on their own flaws and shortcomings. All Wu Bin had had to do was offer some guidance. Then, the writers had gotten a clear picture of where their shortcomings were immediately.
During this process, Wu Bin discovered that all of their problems could be resolved using the Tengda spirit!
Obviously, this was no coincidence.
That was because the Tengda spirit was a methodology. Now that Wu Bin had understood it on a philosophical level, he could apply it almost universally!
The Tengda spirit could teach people how to regulate themselves and achieve the highest level of productivity. Of course, it would be effective for anyone who wanted to establish a successful career!
‘Make hinting the norm, use inducement as encouragement, teach according to aptitude, and achieve the goal through different routes!’ That was what Wu Bin had come up with, to sum up how to impart the Tengda spirit to others.
Through hinting and inducement, Wu Bin could point out where others were lacking in terms of creative writing or working. Then, he could treat the root of each problem by using the Tengda spirit to resolve their confusion. Finally, he could direct everyone to the common goal of working in perfect condition!
Wu Bin had also summarized what the ‘perfect working condition’ was. That mainly consisted of three points: First, maximizing productivity using the limited working hours available and by having sufficient rest and entertainment…
Second, maintaining an adequate level of motivation to work by having a clear reward mechanism…
Third, learning from the pursuit of one’s own interests and establishing a career out of passion!
After summarizing those three points, Wu Bin compared them to all the regulations that Boss Pei had in place at the moment and found that they matched perfectly.
Boss Pei had provided an ideal environment for rest and entertainment, as well as complete welfare benefits for all his employees. That matched Wu Bin’s first point.
Boss Pei had established TPDb for ratings, thus providing a reward mechanism for employees. That matched Wu Bin’s second point.
Boss Pei encouraged internal transfers and gave the best employees Dream Funds for them to fulfill their own dreams. That matched Wu Bin’s third point. All the above showed the perfect working condition that Boss Pei advocated for!
Wu Bin was now helping all the writers reach that perfect working condition. At the moment, he was achieving remarkable results. If this method was proving effective on the writers, then it would probably be equally effective on all the other employees of Tengda!
Wu Bin seemed to have found his mission moving forward.
February 14th, Monday…
The weekend had not been good for Pei Qian. He kept feeling like a problem was going to spring up out of nowhere. What made Pei Qian the most fearful was the ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ application’s situation. He was burning more money and keeping advertising up, and the application was becoming more and more popular. However, He Desheng was already beginning to sell shares bit by bit. To Boss Li, that was a clear signal.
Once Boss Li and the others got the signal, ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ would take a great hit…
Then, Pei Qian would have achieved his goal.
Pei Qian had guessed that Boss Li would have made a move over the weekend by trying to dig for more information from him or He Desheng.
Pei Qian had always been honest with Boss Li before, but Boss Li had never believed him.
This time, Pei Qian had decided to lie. He would say that he was trying to back out of the project because he did not see any potential in it!
Boss Li would believe him this time, right?
On top of that, Pei Qian had also been keeping a close eye on Zhongdian Chinese Network’s online authors’ class. To his surprise, he had discovered that the writers were uploading fewer chapters per day. It even looked like they were competing to see who could upload fewer chapters!
Before this, the authors’ class made use of inhumane methods like a ‘lockdown state’ to ensure that the writers uploaded about eight thousand words each day. However, after Pei Qian put in some hard work, the writers quickly retreated.
This was undoubtedly exciting news!
Monday was Valentine’s Day. In the spirit of being humanitarian, Pei Qian thought about giving his employees half a day off, so that they did not need to work in the afternoon.
Furthermore, he wanted to give each employee a rose. There wouldn’t be any special meaning to the rose, other than that they were more expensive on Valentine’s Day.
