Zhan Lingfeng had already reviewed the design situation here. Although he hadn't seen too much, he had grasped the basic circumstances. He had to admit that the design level at this time, especially for mobile phone cases, was really lacking. Zhan Lingfeng thought that even without high-tech knowledge, it would suffice to come up with something slightly ahead of the mobile phone developments of later generations.
The leaders from the group company arrived quickly. An elderly man came in, wearing glasses and looking quite scholarly.
Once these people arrived, they did not take a break and went straight into the design department.
In fact, the group company placed great importance on this factory; it was one of their key branches. Although this branch had always been producing mobile phone cases for others, the group was secretly engaged in mobile phone research and development. The design department was currently focused on developing mobile phone cases.
With so many people entering at once, the entire design department became crowded, making it difficult for anyone to leave. Zhan Lingfeng initially intended to go out but decided to stay inside and observe instead.
The old man did not pay attention to who was present; in his view, everyone here were trustworthy designers.
There was no special discussion; he directly asked Minister Hu Weihong to report on the design situation.
Minister Hu Weihong was a man in his thirties, and when he answered, he appeared quite serious and composed, performing reasonably well.
However, after listening for a while, the old man's brows furrowed in dissatisfaction with the design. He said in a deep voice, "Your design proposal still hasn't changed significantly; it's still the same bulky plan as before. You must understand that we are aiming to create sleek mobile phones. Your design is not impressive."
Minister Hu's face flushed red, and he found himself at a loss for words.
At this moment, Zhan Lingfeng learned that the old man was named Ning Zewu, the design director of the group company and a highly regarded figure.
Ning Zewu scanned the crowd and suddenly noticed Zhan Lingfeng, who was dressed in work clothes. He frowned and said, "Who is this person? Why is anyone allowed in here?"
Miao Yongli hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Zhan Lingfeng spoke up first: "Director Ning, I am from the Human Resources Office, responsible for coordinating work here. However, after listening to your discussion about mobile phone development just now, I felt that there are significant issues with your design."
"What?"
Ning Zewu was taken aback; he really did not expect this person, who looked like a migrant worker, to question his design.
More people were stunned, and at that moment, a seemingly authoritative figure said in a deep voice, "Who are you to speak recklessly here? Get out."
Such an incident was a significant matter for them as leaders.
Ning Zewu steadied himself and waved his hand, saying, "Let him speak; I would like to hear what insights he has."
Saying this, he looked at Zhan Lingfeng and asked, "Can you talk about your design?"
Zhan Lingfeng replied, "After arriving at this factory, I have researched all the design aspects related to mobile phones. I believe this is not just an improvement of a phone case but a series of improvements. Coincidentally, I have come up with an improvement method myself. If Mr. Ning has time, I can introduce each one."
Ning Zewu was genuinely surprised; he did not expect that this person would not show any fear when facing him but instead appeared so calm.
He pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "I came specifically for this matter; I have plenty of time. Go ahead."
Zhan Lingfeng happened to have a drawing board nearby. He walked over, picked up a pen, and began to draw a design of a mobile phone that looked somewhat advanced yet aesthetically pleasing.
As Zhan Lingfeng drew, everyone's eyes lit up.
For the following time, Zhan Lingfeng continued to analyze each aspect in detail without caring about the expressions of others.
At the beginning, everyone listened casually, thinking there wasn't much to it. However, they were all professionals in this field, and the more they listened, the more serious their expressions became. The more they listened, the more they felt that what they had designed was truly garbage compared to Zhan Lingfeng's design.
After Zhan Lingfeng finished explaining the entire design concept, the room remained silent, and everyone was still unable to react.
After a while, Ning Zewu looked at Zhan Lingfeng with fiery eyes and slapped his thigh, saying, "This is exactly what I want; it's the design scheme I've been pursuing all along. Incredible! What’s your name?"
"Zhan Lingfeng."
"You said you’re in the Human Resources Office? Are you the director?"
Zhan Lingfeng knew it wasn't a good time to say much and looked towards the leaders.
At that moment, a leader-like person hesitated and said, "You’re the new hire in the Human Resources Office, right?"
"Yes, I just arrived and am currently doing odd jobs in the Human Resources Office."
Since the other party said it that way, Zhan Lingfeng shared his situation.
"Just arrived? Doing odd jobs?" Ning Zewu looked at Zhan Lingfeng in astonishment and asked, "Which school did you graduate from?"
Zhan Lingfeng explained, "I didn't attend university; I'm just a worker from a rural area."
Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of despair. A mere migrant worker had managed to develop such an impressive mobile phone design, while they, who had been in this industry for so long, felt utterly inadequate.
Ning Zewu was also taken aback and said, "You really haven't learned this before?"
"No, I just had some ideas for improvement after looking at everyone's drawing boards while cleaning earlier."
Wow!
Everyone was even more speechless.
Miao Yongli felt a sense of disbelief as well; she hadn't expected Zhan Lingfeng to possess such strong abilities.
After a moment, Ning Zewu said, "Xin, you have a great talent for design. Are you interested in working in the design department of the group company?"
Zhan Lingfeng thought to himself that leaving here would take him further away from the established path, and he wasn't sure if it would benefit the transformation of True Essence. His intention to show off today was merely to stabilize his position, so he replied, "Ning Zong, I still want to work in the factory for now; I don't have any plans to leave."
Ah!
Ning Zewu didn't expect Zhan Lingfeng to refuse. He paused for a moment and then smiled, "Alright, here's my business card. You can call me whenever you have an idea. Honestly, you have great talent in research and development; further study would be beneficial."
Saying this, he looked at a leader-like person and said, "Old Zhu, Xin is doing odd jobs in the Human Resources Office; that's quite an underutilization of his talents. A person like him isn't just talk; he would be sought after anywhere else."
Zhan Lingfeng immediately realized that this old man was helping him.
