Chapter 16 Summary Meeting
Since several teaching instructors did not notify the interns to postpone the summary meeting nor arrange new work, the interns spent the whole morning anxiously. It was almost time for lunch when He Chuan appeared in the office area to call everyone to a meeting.

Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief and headed to the conference room with high spirits and high morale to prepare for the upcoming verdict.

This is quite like the secondary market interpreting the black swan event. No matter how bad the negative news is, as long as the negative news is exhausted, all that is left is good news...

"and many more."

Song Anli, who was walking behind, suddenly whispered something, stretched out her hand to grab Xie Jingxing, and smoothed out the wrinkles on his collar that were turned up behind his shoulders.

He stopped to check his clothes, and others stopped and waited.

After Xie Jingxing finished the inspection, he looked up, smiled and said, "Let's go."

Qi Tian and Zhao Mengche, who were originally walking side by side with him on the left and right, slowed down their pace and fell half a body length behind him. Feng Shuo and others followed, their leather shoes colliding with the floor tiles making a frequent sound, and they walked calmly through the corridor.

The four instructors who arrived after the interns at the morning meeting yesterday were now seated firmly in the conference room. He Chuan and Shen Xin stood up to greet them.

"Not bad, we're like a team." The head of the research institute nodded slightly with a serious expression.

The interns took their seats, and Tang Man announced in a formal tone: "Now we will begin the summary meeting of the 'update prospectus project'. He Chuan, please tell us the basic situation."

"Yesterday afternoon, Shen Xin and I handed over the work of the 'updated prospectus project' to the intern team. This updated prospectus includes semi-annual financial data, industry changes, business and technology and other aspects. The intern team has basically completed the update of all the content..." He Chuan endured the embarrassment and introduced the situation seriously.

Except for the part written by Xie Jingxing which exceeded expectations, the rest was almost completed under the guidance of him and Shen Xin.

I'm judging myself, it's hard to do...

Everyone present knew what was going on, and after going through the formalities in tacit agreement, Tang Man went straight to the point and asked the interns, "How did you divide the work yesterday?"

"Song Anli and I are responsible for the 'business and technology' and 'fundraising and investment' parts, and Feng Shuo, who has a background in chemistry, provides technical support..." Xie Jingxing stepped forward to play the role of project reporter.

Risk and return have always been interdependent. He took the risk first, and now it's time to get the return.

Tang Man listened expressionlessly, and glanced at each intern: "Do the rest of you have different opinions on the division of labor? For example, who has taken the initiative to say that I can be competent for a certain part of the work."

Song Anli and Stanford simultaneously turned their eyes to Xie Jingxing, and several other interns also looked at the three of them.

"Is this question difficult to answer?" Tang Man frowned.

"Let me tell you."

Stanford took the initiative to stand up: "I interned at a foreign law firm during my graduate studies. When the division of labor was made, I wanted to be in charge of the 'historical evolution' part, and was eventually persuaded by Xie Jingxing."

"I think everyone is like this. Everyone has different ideas at first, but this is a collaborative project and we need a leader to bring everyone together as a team."

He looked very handsome and didn't seem embarrassed at all to be led by an intern of the same level. He was a completely different person from yesterday.

Song Anli nodded in agreement, and Zhao Mengche raised his hand to speak and added: "I think at least in the project of 'updating the prospectus', Xie Jingxing is capable of leading everyone to complete the work. Facts have proved that... uh, we should have done a good job, right?"

The head of the research institute twitched his lips, and Su He lowered his head and stared at the table in a daze.

Tang Man did not comment on her bizarre statement, and skipped the question and continued, "So has anyone among you ever expressed different opinions on the horizontal division of labor among law, business, technology, and finance?" "...No." Qi Tian replied after a moment of hesitation.

Thinking carefully back to yesterday's division of labor, everyone seemed to have accepted this division of labor very naturally. Or how else should we divide it?
“Horizontal division of labor is efficient, but it is difficult to ensure the quality of work.”

The head of the research institute took over the conversation and patiently pointed out the problem: "Especially for tedious work like the prospectus. Xie Jingxing wrote about business and technology, which business has high costs, and how much money was spent on developing new technologies. Such content is strongly related to financial information."

"The overlapping parts of the division of labor are very difficult to connect. It's like the four of us instructors are doing the same work, and some of us tell you to go east and some tell you to go west. Are you confused?"

The interns are now confused. There was no confusion in the connection when they were working yesterday, so they completely ignored the problem in this regard. Are they all geniuses?

After all, I just heard He Chuan's evaluation of everyone was pretty good. It can't be that there is a problem but everyone hasn't discovered it.

Su He raised his head and said, "Of course, if there is someone who has a clear understanding of all the division of labor to coordinate and sort out the connection parts, it can not only improve work efficiency but also ensure work quality."

"You did a great job yesterday and met our expectations."

Hearing this, Zhao Mengche grinned heartily with his white and neat teeth, but others felt that the atmosphere was not right.

As expected, Tang Man was not satisfied with this and asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

"I think the instructors have high expectations of us. If we can meet your expectations, our performance in updating the prospectus can get 90 points, right?"

It seemed that Zhao Mengche's thinking could not keep up with the pace of the meeting. She was like this during the morning meeting yesterday, and her reactions were always half a beat slow.

"Ninety points? How did you get ninety points? Is it because He Chuan and Shen Xin's help to you is worth ninety points? Or is it because Xie Jingxing didn't even tell you the basic concept of the difficulty of the work and the division of labor, and his performance of taking on so much is worth ninety points?"

Tang Man's anger, which had been brewing for a long time, completely exploded. He put his hands on the table and spoke ruthlessly and frantically:
"Don't you have any initiative at all? You just do whatever others say and do whatever they tell you to do?"

"To be frank, Xie Jingxing directed seven junior high school students to work all night to update this prospectus yesterday. So what is your value? Juntai does not need employees who only know how to work hard but don't know how to think!"

Zhao Mengche was stunned by the scolding and subconsciously looked around for Xie Jingxing's face.

"Mr. Tang means to tell you not to feel dependent on others at work. Don't think that other colleagues will always have your back. You need to be responsible for yourself." The head of the research institute eased the atmosphere and helped to make amends.

There was indeed no criticism or explanation in the updated prospectus itself, but this was based on the fact that Xie Jingxing flew alone with all the interns.

In other words, the true ability levels of the other interns were questionable, and they just followed through on the work in a daze, without even having a clear understanding of the parts of the work they were responsible for.

This is too outrageous. If things continue at this pace, there will be no need for internships or variety shows. They can just pick two people who cling to Xie Jingxing the tightest and apply for employment together.

"Xie Jingxing, tell me, what is your position in this project, and how many points are your performance worth?" Tang Man asked by name.

Xie Jing Xing smiled and answered in a serious voice, "Boss Tang, you are scolding my people."

　Yesterday's update was reviewed again, and it involved industry analysis and prospectus filing requirements, so today's update had to be edited and rewritten. Today's chapter will be updated with 2K, and will be supplemented later.
