My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 43 - 42: Poor Team Building

Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Poor Team Building

Have you ever seen an autobiography that stops updating halfway through a Chapter?

Today, you have.

Meng Lang felt a pang of annoyance.

Why did you go to Beijing? You bought a plane ticket, and then what?

Could it be that screaming was still not enough to express your dissatisfaction, so you chose the extreme measures of striking and stopping updates?

Buddy, you’ve just narrowed our path...

While he couldn’t help wanting to find a knife, he also began to self-reflect.

Ever since he finished the last episode of "Siege" and discovered the issue of "information overload," he had indeed been seized by an urge for "extreme measures."

"A Hundred Years of Solitude," "A Thousand Years of Waiting"...

From the titles alone, it was clear that he had subconsciously treated the "self" in the books as various disposable, willful "tool-persons."

As a tool-person, the top priority naturally became to complete the information gathering mission and ensure their survival time.

While his own thoughts evolved, it naturally also affected the character pattern of "Meng Lang" in "Scream."

This indirectly confirmed the philosophical idea, "I think, therefore I am; I think differently, hence the world changes."

However, the consequence was that, a day later, he faced complaints from the tool-person...

Buddha said, "A single flower is a world, a single leaf a path to enlightenment."

The world in the books, whether it is a real parallel universe or a false simulated deduction, doesn’t change the fact that every character in each book possesses their own emotions and experiences.

Having "the self" bear the burden and "the id" witness the vast world is indeed somewhat unfair.

"But you didn’t need to just drop everything and quit, did you? Even a few lines penned in the Spring and Autumn style, and I wouldn’t count it as an abandoned ending!"

Meng Lang complained somewhat helplessly to "himself," his gaze returning to the end of the book.

"Huh?" Suddenly, he seemed to discover something.

This book... doesn’t seem to be finished yet?

Meng Lang turned the blank pages at the end, and his eyes lit up.

Though the text abruptly ended, leaving only blank pages, he hadn’t expected that turning these pages would reveal several illustrations added at the back!

From text version to illustrated version... Is the autobiography budget increasing? They can even afford a graphic designer now?

"Is this... a comic strip?"

"X Epidemic (Science Edition)"

After carefully reading all 24 pages of the comic strip, Meng Lang sported a reflective look.

The first feeling was—this comic is really interesting.

The second feeling was—I actually understand it...

This science-oriented comic was concise and easy to understand, even for him, someone outside the medical field, it was effortless to read.

After finishing it, he couldn’t help but feel... Oh! So that’s what the X-virus is like.

"I was saying, you couldn’t be so dissatisfied with me to cause trouble for ’yourself,’ leaving only bits and pieces about the X-virus. The Easter egg was at the end!

A science edition? Were you considering my level of cultural competence?

Considerate! I really appreciate it..."

Although it stopped abruptly, it ended up delivering some key information.

As for why it is a science comic...

Professional writings, which I wouldn’t understand, let alone explain to others.

Clinical data and such might be guarded like state secrets in labs worldwide in those situations.

Even if I had the information before the virus appeared, if it leaked, I could be misunderstood as a "virus maker" and might be charged with "crimes against humanity."

This somewhat ambiguous, slightly humorous science comic is different.

No one accused Osamu Tezuka of spoiler alerts for future robots after he completed Astro Boy, right?

When Verne wrote "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," it was still the age of steamships, and no one accused him of spoiling submarines, right?

Isn’t the development of human technology a staggering progress through boundless imagination?

Compared to an obscure, dubious medical paper, perhaps this is a more appropriate weapon against the virus right now?

Indeed, they were cut from the same cloth; ’myself’ wouldn’t be so superficial in thought!

Not abandoning public duties for personal reasons; indeed, a good comrade!

"Expecting the horse to run without giving it enough grass was my fault..."

Meng Lang acknowledged his mistake.

However, recognizing a mistake is one thing, but abandoning eating for fear of choking is undesirable.

Just because one employee complains and screams, you can’t just abandon the company’s long-term strategic planning, can you?

When one employee falls, behind me are millions more striving toward a happy life!

For their sake, we have to grow and strengthen the business, right?

The marketplace is like a battlefield; sometimes, as the boss, you just can’t afford to be kind-hearted!

Be tough on others, and even tougher on "yourself"!

"’Extreme Flow’ theory should work in principle, but it looks like there are flaws in practice, the plan’s execution is too rough! Way too rough!"

Meng Lang began to summarize the lessons learned.

The cause of this "employee complaint" incident was only one... poor team building!

Initially, this employee’s performance was quite satisfying.

Ambitious, hardworking, and strong in execution, he could be called the outstanding employee of this year’s "All Things Return to One Union"!

Even Meng Lang couldn’t help but admire internally, my life is just too damn inspiring!

However, as time went on, new employees became old employees, and when material conditions didn’t improve, the mental construction collapsed first...

Haven’t you read in books?

[Even though the investment yields have multiplied several times, approaching a small goal, a nine-figure balance still couldn’t fill the endless emptiness inside me...]

Is there any problem that a small goal can’t solve?

If there is, then make it two!

Ultimately, salaries need to keep up, followed by the issue of corporate culture!

Empty? What is emptiness? It’s about mental construction!

If corporate culture is lacking, how can employees not feel empty, not feel lonely and cold?

Therefore, to prevent such incidents, we must focus on two aspects.

One is to earn a few more small goals.

Earn until you become numb, earn until you fill your emptiness!

Second is to establish the "master consciousness" of "everyone contributes a little love, and the world will become a better place."

Zhou Shuren once said something very apt.

"Sometimes it’s unavoidable to scream a few times, to comfort the brave souls rushing through loneliness, so they’re not afraid to press forward."

That’s just damn spot on!

What is "Scream"?

It’s encouragement, it’s spiritual fulfillment, it’s money and beauties... er, wrong! It’s a bumper harvest in career and love!

When you pamper your employees comfortably, can they still complain about the company’s bosses?

So, starting today, the approach of "Extreme Flow" needs to change!

Now that we’ve addressed the team building issue, the next problem arises.

If it’s not a strike or a hiatus, then why did this book stop halfway through?

The reason is really intriguing.

Meng Lang reopened the book.

The first page is still a photo, but this time it’s a solo picture.

The location should be at the airport, with "Meng Lang" standing next to the stairs of the boarding vehicle, with a large airplane in the background.

The photo must have been taken by someone Meng Lang asked for help.

In the photo, "Meng Lang" faces away from the camera, towards the plane, one fist clenched and raised into the air, like a warrior about to embark on a campaign.

Well... at least it’s not a photo of a hospital or prison then straight to the crematorium, which is a relief...

[I want abundance, I want to bloom, I want to see the vast world, then worry not about the coming breeze...]

Looking at this setup... how exactly does he want to bloom?

The problem is I don’t have any contacts in Beijing, so who is he planning to bloom with?

And if you’re going to bloom, at least take care of the arrangements afterward, right?

Unless...

"emm..."

This guy couldn’t possibly be...

He glanced casually at the markings spray-painted on the plane.

"SU 2732" "737 Max"...
