Chapter 59 Lin Wei's Sudden Withdrawal!
The two chatted as they ate, their conversation ranging from movies to work and their respective hobbies.
Chen Mo discovered that Su Xiao was actually a very interesting person.
Although she is an online writer, she is not introverted at all; on the contrary, she is very cheerful and humorous, making her very comfortable to be around.
Su Xiao also discovered that the more time she spent with Chen Mo, the more she realized that he wasn't as dull as he seemed on the surface.
He knows a lot, can keep up with any conversation, and has his own ideas.
When it was time to pay the bill after the meal, Su Xiao insisted on paying, but Chen Mo stopped her.
"It's a deal I made," Su Xiao insisted.
"Maybe next time."
Chen Mo smiled, took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay, and said, "This time it's on me. Otherwise, I'm starting to feel like a gigolo because you always have to pay for me."
"..."
Su Xiao was amused by him and didn't insist any further, saying, "Then I'll treat you to milk tea later."
"it is good."
The two walked out of the food stall and bought a cup of milk tea together nearby.
Chen Mo ordered a kumquat lemonade with ice.
He only drinks this.
They arrived at the garage together. Chen Mo waited for the other party's designated driver to arrive before watching him leave and then taking a taxi home.
……
Back home, Chen Mo took a shower and, before going to bed, habitually checked the backend data and comments on his writer's assistant.
The number of favorites for "The Immortal Clan in the Mortal World" has exceeded 5,000, and the number of readers following it has also increased to more than 3,000. It is among the top five in the new book category.
This data is quite good.
The comments from my own book club members were all positive.
Many authors in the editor's group of writers are saying that this book will probably be a bestseller on its first day of sales!
Chen Mo was secretly pleased and even started to estimate the royalties after the article was published, based on the average order value of the images submitted by everyone.
For someone like him, who is just an animal, extra income is naturally a great thing.
He didn't dare to dream of earning millions from a single book like Su Xiao, but he still hoped to earn over ten thousand a month.
It was something he felt he had a chance to achieve.
In the other bedroom, after setting up his desktop computer, Su Xiao began writing for the day.
For full-time authors, or most full-time authors, there is no distinction between day and night when it comes to writing. As long as inspiration strikes, they can write all night long, even at night.
I can just sleep all day.
Su Xiao felt that her life was relatively normal and regular.
Many of her author friends write at night, sleep during the day, and stay at home a lot, rarely going out or socializing during the serialization of a new book.
So don't be fooled by the high income of online novel authors; many of them are actually single and socially anxious.
Male authors, in particular, lack exercise and are all overweight, so they have no chance of finding a girlfriend who likes them.
In the middle of the night, Su Xiao was browsing the Longkong Forum out of boredom after finishing his writing when he discovered a new book that was generating a lot of buzz.
It seems to be a new author who wrote a family-themed novel called "The Immortal Clan in the Mortal World," which received high praise.
Strangely enough, Su Xiao herself writes female-oriented novels, but she rarely reads female-oriented novels; she reads almost all male-oriented novels.
Maybe it's because I've written too much and know the formula for female-oriented content, so I wanted to switch gears and read male-oriented content.
So out of curiosity, she opened the Qidian app and, with a critical eye, started reading the novel to see if it was really as good as everyone said.
"Spicy tofu pudding?"
Looking at the pen name, Su Xiao muttered, "Is this author from Jiangcheng?"
After all, in other places, tofu pudding is only sweet or savory, but only the tofu pudding here has a spicy flavor!
……
The next morning, Chen Mo arrived at the company and had just finished dealing with his work when Lin Wei took the initiative to find him.
"Team Leader Chen, are you free now?"
Her expression was somewhat serious, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
"Let's go to the break room; I'd like to talk to you about work."
"good."
Seeing this, Chen Mo nodded with some confusion.
Why didn't you talk to me about work when we were all together? Why did you have to talk to me privately?
After the two entered the break room one after the other, Chen Mo asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the project?"
"It's not a problem with the project, it's a personal decision I'm making."
Lin Wei shook her head, took a deep breath, looked directly into Chen Mo's eyes, and said, "I want to... withdraw from the project team."
"???"
Chen Mo was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say that.
"Leaving the project team? Why?"
Lin Wei pursed her lips, looked away, and lowered her voice.
"I won't go into the specific reasons, but this is a decision I've made after careful consideration, and I hope you can understand."
Chen Mo looked at her, several thoughts flashing through his mind.
Is this the result of Shen Qingyue's conversation with her yesterday?
Or perhaps... she simply felt she couldn't stay in the project team any longer?
Did Manager Li and Manager Zhang say something to Lin Wei behind her back, which made her suddenly make this decision?
Chen Mo wanted to ask why.
Because he felt that although they hadn't known each other for very long, they were at least friends, and more importantly...
In Chen Mo's view, Lin Wei should have feelings for him and be very clear about what benefits this project would bring her after it was completed!
But Lin Wei's expression was resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Chen remained silent for a few seconds, but ultimately did not ask for the reason.
Everyone has their own considerations and difficulties. Since the other party doesn't want to talk about it, there's no need for him to press them.
"Okay, I respect your decision."
Chen Mo nodded and said, "But what about your work? The project is at a critical juncture. The data interface integration testing you were responsible for is 80% complete. If someone else takes over, the progress will definitely be affected."
"Don't worry about that."
Lin Wei seemed to have been prepared, taking out a document from her folder and handing it to Chen Mo.
"This is a work handover checklist I've compiled. All the tasks that are in progress and those that are yet to be completed are listed, with the progress, difficulties, and precautions clearly written down."
In addition, I have already spoken with my colleagues in the testing team, and they will cooperate with the new person in charge to continue the process.
"..."
Chen Mo took the document and flipped through it.
The list of contents and the planned steps of the operation process are indeed very detailed, and it is clear that Lin Wei has prepared them carefully.
He looked up at Lin Wei, and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
Even if this woman is going to leave, she will still do what she is supposed to do.
"Thanks."
Chen Mo said sincerely, "You did a great job."
"Of course."
Lin Wei smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile, and said, "After all, I've been involved in the project for so long, and I don't want it to be affected by my departure."
"So, what's next?"
"I have already applied to join another project team."
"Alright."
Chen Mo said, "I hope you have a smooth project ahead and keep up the good work."
The two chatted briefly about the handover details, and then Lin Wei got up and left the tea room.
Chen Mo returned to his workstation, looked at the handover list in his hand, and his brows gradually furrowed.
Lin Wei's sudden withdrawal disrupted his plans.
Data interface integration testing is a crucial part of the project, and now that the person in charge is missing, the schedule will definitely be delayed.
Moreover, finding someone to replace her is also a problem.
This position requires both technical and business acumen, as well as strong communication and coordination skills; it's not something that can be filled by just anyone.
Chen Mo rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
Indeed, life is never smooth sailing!
