Chapter 64: Chapter 064: Summary Meeting
The elevator was cramped, so many people decided to take the stairs to the twenty-eighth floor.
"Lao Chen, why didn't they let you share your experience?" Zheng Junpeng asked casually as they climbed the stairs.
Usually, when a company selects a trader to share their experience, they would notify them in advance so they could prepare. But Chen Wei didn't receive any notification.
That meant this time, the trader selected to share wasn't Chen Wei.
"Yeah, what's going on with the company? They actually didn't let you, the big boss, share! I don't believe anyone in the company earned more than you last month!" Zhou Yi said, slightly displeased.
There were no rewards or incentives for sharing at the summary meeting; it was purely an honor. At least in Zhou Yi's eyes, it was an honor. Only the best traders in the company were qualified to share. Otherwise, what's the point of sharing if you didn't earn more than the traders below you?
But Chen Wei didn't take it to heart.
To be honest, if they had let him share, he wouldn't have known what to share. He couldn't just say, "I have a system, and I'm awesome." Otherwise, someone would probably have called 911 and sent him for a neurological examination the next second.
The others were also discussing, some sympathizing with Chen Wei, while others speculated on the reasons behind it.
In the time they spoke, they reached the twenty-eighth floor.
Apart from the bullpen and Wang Wentao's office, there was the risk control team's office, the administrative department's office, and a large conference room on the twenty-eighth floor.
The administrative department consisted of young women responsible for various administrative, personnel, and financial tasks of the company. Since risk control often involved upsetting traders by issuing warnings about trading risks or forcibly closing positions, having male risk control officers would risk angering the traders. Having a group of young female risk control officers made the situation much easier.
As they passed by the risk control team's office, a group of single guys craned their necks to peek inside.
Wang Wentao was smart; he hired risk control officers who were pretty young women. Because if the risk control officers were ugly, they'd face the risk of being attacked, just like male risk control officers would.
Zhou Yi also stretched his neck to take a look inside.
Zheng Junpeng teased, "Thinking about Xu Lin again? If you like her, just go after her! Didn't she just receive a salary of 160,000 yesterday? Take her out for a weekend, I bet you'll succeed!"
"Vulgar! Zheng, I disdain to associate with someone as vulgar as you! Is Xu Lin that kind of person? She values talent, character, and appearance, not money!" Zhou Yi retorted with disdain.
"Then you're in trouble because you lack all three," Zheng Junpeng sighed, stating it directly.
That nearly choked Zhou Yi.
As they passed by the bullpen, a group of people craned their heads to peek inside.
They looked envious.
Zhou Yi sneered, "So what if they're in the bullpen? I bet they didn't earn as much as me last month!"
Zheng Junpeng chuckled and said, "Are you still uncertain about how much you earned last month?"
"You... why do you care about how much I earned? Anyway, I earned it! Right, boss?" Zhou Yi insisted, then turned to Chen Wei with a sheepish smile.
Chen Wei smiled faintly but didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the conference room, everyone took their seats according to their respective groups.
Chen Wei, as usual, sat in the back row.
In previous summary meetings, Chen Wei always sat in the back row and had gotten used to it.
Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi sat down beside him.
Before long, the risk control team's young female officers and the core team of experienced traders entered with laughter and chatter, taking seats at the front.
Zhou Yi's eyes were fixed on the front.
A ponytailed girl was sitting with a handsome experienced trader, leaning their heads close together, whispering and giggling from time to time.
Zheng Junpeng patted Zhou Yi's shoulder and said, "Brother, accept it. According to what I know, that Yuan Tong earned over 50,000 dollars last month, more than you, and he's better looking. Statistically speaking, well, you don't stand a chance."
Zhou Yi didn't respond, staring intently at Yuan Tong and Xu Lin in front as if he wanted to go over and bite them.
Zheng Junpeng exchanged a smile with Chen Wei and didn't say anything.
These things weren't easy to comment on; if there was fate, they would be together, but if not, forcing it wouldn't help.
At least Chen Wei had already understood that.
Soon, Wang Wentao and Zhao Yang, along with a few others, entered.
Wang Wentao went straight to the podium, and the other group leaders took seats in the front row. Only Zhao Yang and Sun Chong came to the back row.
Zhao Yang sat down next to Chen Wei, and Sun Chong sat next to Zhao Yang.
After sitting down, Sun Chong nodded slightly to Chen Wei, giving him a faint smile. Chen Wei returned the gesture, acknowledging the greeting.
On the podium, Wang Wentao cleared his throat and began, "Colleagues, our company did well in October..."
After a brief summary, Wang Wentao continued, "In November, I hope everyone will continue to work hard and create brilliance together! Alright, let's welcome Yuan Tong from the Trend Trading Team to share his experience!"
The core team was officially called the Trend Trading Team, nominally on par with the other eight trading teams. This was mainly because directly calling them the core team might trigger some other thoughts among the traders in the lower teams.
As soon as Wang Wentao mentioned Yuan Tong sharing his experience on stage, the meeting room erupted into discussion.
Chen Wei had earned over 300,000 dollars in October and was already well-known in the company.
Earning over 300,000 dollars in a month wasn't just remarkable within Metai Company; it was noteworthy nationwide. Many people thought they would break the norm this time and let a non-core team trader share. But unexpectedly, they still chose Yuan Tong from the core team!
This sparked discussions:
"How much did Yuan Tong earn in October?"
"Over 50,000 dollars, I think?"
"That's far less than what Chen Wei earned. Why didn't they let Chen Wei share? I was looking forward to hearing how Chen Wei did it!"
"Yeah, I wanted to hear too! What's going on with the company?"
...
Zhao Yang whispered to Chen Wei, "I originally wanted you to go up. Sun Chong, Wu, and Xu all agreed, but Wang Wentao said your methods might not be mature enough yet, and he wanted you to perfect them for another month before sharing. Maybe he's considering Luo Chen's feelings. Chen Wei, don't take it too hard."
