Chapter 152 Mental Illness

When the four of them were halfway through their meal, Lu Jiaqi noticed that He Feng, who had been walking out, seemed to hesitate for a moment after seeing her, then turned around and walked towards them, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Upon reaching him, He Feng smiled and said, "Manager Lu, what do you think of the matter I asked you to handle?"

Lu Jiaqi said, "If your supervisor asks me to verify the situation, I will provide the information truthfully."

He Feng's smile faltered for a moment, then he said, "Well... okay, thank you."

Wei Hongsi looked at He Feng and nodded to him in greeting.

He Feng ignored everyone else and turned to leave after speaking with Lu Jiaqi.

This left Wei Hongsi somewhat bewildered, as Supervisor He had never been so unconventional before.

Seeing Wei Hongsi's expression, Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "Manager He is probably jealous of you. He won't pay any attention to you if you greet him."

Wei Hongsi was puzzled: "What have I done to offend him recently?"

Lu Jiaqi laughed and said, "Forget it, I'm not going to tell you anymore, I'm afraid you'll laugh yourself to death."

Wei Hongsi stopped asking questions and continued eating with his head down.

This piqued Lu Jiaqi's interest. After taking a couple of bites of rice, she couldn't help but say, "You must know that the window for rank adjustments in the second half of this year has been moved from September to July, right?"

"I know," Wei Hongsi nodded. "They posted an announcement on WD. And then?"

Lu Jiaqi said, "Perhaps Manager He feels that you have stolen his luck."

Wei Hongsi paused for a moment, then understood what was going on and nodded, saying, "I see."

Lu Jiaqi was overjoyed, and Li Xuan also covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

Wei Hongsi found the whole thing somewhat amusing, but seeing how much they were laughing seemed a bit exaggerated: "Is it really that funny?"

Lu Jiaqi laughed and waved her hand, "Never mind, never mind, I really can't talk to you anymore."

Xia Shiyu sat at Wei Hongsi's former workstation, which was close to Yuan Zhenhui, and the two talked quite a bit.

When Yuan Zhenhui noticed that He Feng was trying to get information out of Xia Shiyu, he gave him a heads-up and also mentioned the connection between Wei Hongsi and He Feng.

Hearing Lu Jiaqi say this, Xia Shiyu, though not clear about the whole story, could guess the general idea and said, "No wonder that Supervisor He asked me indirectly what our project department is doing."

Lu Jiaqi and Li Xuan exchanged a glance after hearing Xia Shiyu's words.

Wei Hongsi asked in surprise, "He even asked you about it?"

Xia Shiyu nodded: "I told him I'm new here and don't know anything. Engineer Yuan told me not to pay any attention to him."

Wei Hongsi chuckled and shook his head: "It's only natural that Supervisor He is a little anxious."

He Feng is almost thirty-five years old and is still stuck at the Z4 level, which is both dangerous and awkward. Seeing that the adjustment window has arrived ahead of schedule, it is impossible for him not to be anxious.

Wei Hongsi didn't know much about He Feng, but he could make a general judgment based on Yuan Zhenhui's resume.

Logically speaking, He Feng should have had no problem being promoted to Z5. The reason he hasn't been promoted is most likely because he made a mistake or error in his work.

Just like the GG analysis commission at the amusement park, because Ji Cheng put pressure on him, He Feng proposed to redo the report.

He Feng has probably done something similar more than once. However, each time the problem wasn't serious, so he was able to continue working at Zhiwei, but getting Yu Sheng to nominate him was definitely out of the question.

After the four finished their meal, Wei Hongsi and Xia Shiyu went upstairs to rest for a while before preparing to work overtime.

Lu Jiaqi and Li Xuan had no other work to do, and since it was still early before Ran Tong arrived, the two went shopping nearby.

They shopped in the mall for over an hour, then sat down at a beverage shop and each ordered a glass of juice.

After chatting for a while, Li Xuan casually asked, "Sister Lu, what position do you think Engineer Wei will be promoted to this time?"

Lu Jiaqi, biting her straw, said, "It should be at least W2, right?"

Li Xuan asked, "Why is it at least?"

Lu Jiaqi rolled her eyes at her: "Stop pretending with your little schemes, okay? Humph, if you want to go to his side, I definitely won't stop you."

During lunch earlier, Xia Shiyu mentioned "our project department," and Wei Hongsi didn't correct her, which they keenly noticed.

At Zhiwei, project teams correspond to ordinary projects, and the person in charge is a W2-level project manager; project departments correspond to large and key projects, and the person in charge is a W3-level senior project manager, at the same level as the deputy director.

They were truly surprised that Wei Hongsi could lead a project team at such a young age. However, given Wei Hongsi's demonstrated abilities and his direct access to the president, it seemed quite normal.

It's no wonder Wei Hongsi didn't understand why He Feng was jealous of him; the two were simply not on the same level.

He Feng probably only believes that if he hadn't entrusted the amusement park project to Wei Hongsi, Wei Hongsi would be in charge of the project now.

Although Lu Jiaqi didn't know what project Wei Hongsi was working on, she knew it was definitely not something He Feng could handle. If he had that ability, he would have made a name for himself long ago.

Therefore, He Feng sent her a message, hoping that Lu Jiaqi could help him explain this to the leaders of the Second Department, but Lu Jiaqi didn't even reply.

Not to mention that she was unwilling to do this, the company doesn't even do this for promotion nominations; it's simply absurd.

To everyone's surprise, He Feng was persistent. When they met at the restaurant, he even came over to say hello. At that moment, Lu Jiaqi really wanted to curse him.

Li Xuan said with a smile, "Sister Lu, since you know, why don't you help me analyze it?"

Lu Jiaqi thought for a moment and said, "I think if you want to be promoted to W1, it's best to stay in the Eighth Department first. This time, President Miao will definitely nominate you. If you don't get promoted during this window of opportunity, it's not too late to go and join him."

"By then, he'll have been promoted to W3. Considering how hard you've worked for him, they'll surely save you a spot. You'll get your wish by next March at the latest!"

Li Xuan nodded repeatedly, finding it very reasonable.

Seeing Li Xuan's eyes almost disappear from her smile, Lu Jiaqi gently pinched her cheek: "I've been so good to you, and all you want to do is run away!"

After a few laughs and jokes, Li Xuan exclaimed, "W3, at twenty-four or twenty-five years old, is really amazing!"

Lu Jiaqi couldn't help but sigh: "Who can blame her for being so capable? Unlike me, I had to work my way up to W2 before I could even reach that level."

Li Xuan said, "I'm not even two years younger than you, and I haven't even reached W1 level yet."

Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "I'm not really dissatisfied. Now that the promotion issue is resolved, it's time to think about my own things. You should too!"

Li Xuan said, "I'm not in a hurry. I can always go on blind dates. Anyway, my requirements aren't high."
