Technology God meets product Xiaobai

Ding Shenghe turned his head and saw Jiang Lebai who was holding his arm and still panting a little and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Lebai was out of breath and said, "I... I'm fine, I'm just... worried that you have something to do—"

Ding Shenghe interrupted him: "What can I do?"

"Did you come here by car?" Jiang Lebai asked.

"Why, do you want a ride?" Ding Shenghe raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"You're drunk, you can't drive." Jiang Lebai said seriously.

Ding Shenghe was silent, and was about to say something, only to hear Jiang Lebai leave a sentence "I didn't drink today, I can take you home, you wait for me where you are", not allowing him to refuse, and ran back into the hall.

Jiang Lebai hurriedly explained to Xu Qian, grabbed his coat and went out, seeing that Ding Shenghe was really still waiting for him, but he didn't stand where he was right now, but leaned against the wall of the corridor with his head down.

Jiang Lebai walked over, took out a mint candy from his pocket and handed it to him, but Ding Shenghe didn't answer it, and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Ding Shenghe's mind was a little confused when Jiang Lebai said "I'll take you home". Lend your computer to yourself, why call yourself?Why?His targeting of him is so obvious, can't he see it?

Ding Shenghe draws a circle to bind himself, if he stands outside the circle, he will find that Jiang Lebai is actually very enthusiastic about every colleague in the company, the same scene is applicable to anyone.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Jiang Lebai tore off the candy wrapper, held up the mint candy and handed it to his lips: "Mint candy, very refreshing, you've been drinking, maybe you'll feel more refreshed after eating one."

Ding Shenghe didn't like candy, he didn't touch Wang Yanfa's wedding candy box, it was still on the table, but he didn't refuse this time, he bit the snow-white candy, and it didn't take long for a cool feeling to creep up on his tongue.

He followed Jiang Lebai downstairs, found his car, handed him the car keys, sat in the passenger seat, and watched Jiang Lebai adjust the seat, start the car, and drive away from the hotel.

"Where are you going?" Ding Shenghe asked.

"Send you home." Jiang Lebai quickly glanced at him, and continued to focus on the road.

"Let's go to the lake." Ding Shenghe suddenly didn't want to go home immediately, he wanted to talk to someone, and wanted to know whether his cranky thoughts were really crazy or there were traces to follow.

Jiang Lebai felt that the people around him were not in good condition, thinking that he was still sad about the marriage of his ex-girlfriend, so he didn't say much. Anyway, today is Saturday, so I just have time to relax with Ding Shenghe.

The car drove all the way to the shore of the lake, and the two got out of the car, one after the other, walked along the small wooden bridge across the grass to the lake.

"Why are you here? Why don't you leave?" Ding Shenghe stopped suddenly, turned around and asked him.

"I'll accompany you..."

He really cared about himself, otherwise why would he accompany him?The corners of Ding Shenghe's mouth raised quietly, and he turned to look at the lake.

It was the afternoon, and the sun was shining. The two of them stood under the shade of a tree, with the sparkling lake in front of them, and there was no sound around, as if they were the only two left in the whole world.

In Jiang Lebai's eyes, it was not such a quiet and serene scene, he stared at Ding Shenghe's every move, for fear that the other party would jump into the lake when he was not paying attention.

Ever since he learned that Ding Shenghe was the bride's ex-boyfriend, he was very worried about him. Before the wedding, he heard something about the bride's ex-boyfriend. At that time, Xu Qian made a joke and asked Zhao Jia: "Your ex-boyfriend won't come Marriage snatching at the wedding, right?" Later, Zhao Jia explained the reason for inviting her ex-boyfriend. On Monday, some of the girls were having a bachelor party. During the period, they played a game of truth or dare and lost the game. The punishment was to invite her ex-boyfriend To attend the wedding, Zhao Jia didn't have any contact information, and then she got in touch with her ex-boyfriend's friend. She also thought that the other party would not come, but her ex-boyfriend accepted. After hearing this, everyone yelled at her and teased her: "It's been so long Contact, it seems that your ex-boyfriend still misses you."

"Are you familiar with Gu Wei?" Ding Shenghe choked out such a question and asked him.

"Huh?" Jiang Lebai was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I'm not very familiar with him, but he treated me very well."

"Then you...go home with him one weekend..."

"Is it the Saturday when I first came to K Chuang to work?" Jiang Lebai asked.

"Ah."

"I invited brother Wei to dinner that day. I promised to bring me the book for learning about this product, but he didn't bring it when he came. After dinner, he took me to his house to get the book." Jiang Lebai explained to him.

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei's name is still unfamiliar." Ding Shenghe missed the point.

"..." Jiang Lebai didn't understand why, and said after a silence, "I also call you Brother Sheng..."

"Are you trying to say that you don't know me well?"

Jiang Lebai was completely speechless, what is going on here.

Ding Shenghe cursed inwardly at this moment: I have already taken off my clothes, and said that I am not familiar with me... Did I also take off my clothes when I was with your brother Wei?

The cool feeling from the mints on the tip of the tongue has long since disappeared, leaving only bursts of irritability from the scorching air around. Ding Shenghe loosened his tie, took off his suit jacket, threw it at his feet, and sat down.

Jiang Lebai also sat down on the grass slowly.

Ding Shenghe glanced at him, moved to the left, patted the other half of the exposed clothes with his hand, and said, "Don't get your clothes dirty, just sit here."

Jiang Lebai sat down on his right side with a docile face.

"You graduated from Z University?" Ding Shenghe asked.

"Ah."

"Me too." Ding Shenghe said calmly.

"Huh?" Jiang Lebai was a little surprised.

"We are alumni. To be precise, I am your senior. Why, don't you look like me?"

"No, I haven't heard that there are alumni in our department before. It's a bit unexpected. Then we are really destined." Jiang Lebai said.

Fate... Ding Shenghe chewed the word repeatedly in his heart, and secretly retorted: It must be evil fate.

"You just went to his house to get books that day?" Ding Shenghe asked again.

"Yeah, I was waiting for him at the door, but I didn't go in."

"Ah."

The dark cloud in Ding Shenghe's heart dissipated.

"You were recruited by Gu Wei?" Ding Shenghe asked.

"Brother Wei...uh...Director Gu interviewed me."

"Do you know why he chose you?"

After listening to Ding Shenghe's question, Jiang Lebai remembered that he had asked this question the day he invited Director Gu to dinner.

At noon that day, he and Director Gu made an appointment in a quiet Chinese restaurant in the city center. In the restaurant, he was flipping through the menu when Gu Wei walked gracefully.

"Brother Wei, you're here." Jiang Lebai greeted him with his hand outstretched.

"Sorry, I was a few minutes late, and there was an incident. I forgot to take the book I promised to bring you. I will go home after dinner." Gu Wei said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Lebai handed the menu to Gu Wei, "Brother Wei, you choose first."

Gu Wei was not polite to him, and asked him if he would like this dish while ordering. After ordering, he gave him the menu. Jiang Lebai glanced at the selected dishes and only ordered a plate of vegetarian dishes.

This restaurant is not cheap, and the consumption level is still too high for him.

At the dinner table, Gu Wei chatted with him about the company's target user portraits for new products, the current product market, some competing product analysis, and the future iterative development direction of Fingertips.

These are Gu Wei's experiences, which he could not learn no matter how many books he reads, yet he told himself all of them without reservation.Jiang Lebai didn't know why he was so appreciated by Director Gu. Apart from being grateful and putting his heart into making this new product, he had nothing else to do.

Gu Wei asked him: "Xiaobai, do you know why there are so many people in the job fair and why you are the only one chosen?"

Jiang Lebai raised his head suddenly, this was exactly the question he couldn't figure out.

"I don't know" Jiang Lebai said, waiting for Gu Wei to give an answer.

"Xiaobai, have you thought about your future career plan?" Gu Wei asked without rushing to answer.

"Well... I hope that one day I can be qualified for the position of product manager. In a few years, when I accumulate enough experience, I may be able to work in a management position like you." Jiang Lebai wondered about the words he used. Without shame, he looked at Gu Wei after speaking, but he saw that Gu Wei looked at him with admiration.

"Xiaobai, I hope you can always remember this sentence. You should be more confident. I believe that one day you will be able to lead a team independently and become the core of the team. Nothing will happen."

Jiang Lebai was stunned.

Gu Wei smiled and said: "Xiaobai, what I admire most about you is your down-to-earth. I think you will stick to it if you choose a path, and you will not give up halfway. This kind of quality is too rare in young people. There are too many people who are high-sighted and low-handed and opportunistic, and most people live only looking at the immediate interests, busy for most of their lives but don't know why they live, and it is remarkable for a person to do one thing to the extreme in his life."

He took a sip of tea, and then said: "Maybe I'm talking a lot of nonsense to you now, and you won't feel much, because there are many stages in life, and the things you see and the exclamations in each stage are different. , but the depth of feeling has nothing to do with intelligence and foolishness, you have to wait for time to polish it slowly. In fact, you have far more advantages than you think, and you are much smarter than you think."

Jiang Lebai opened his eyes wide, staring at him blankly.

"If one day you feel bored with prototype drawings and feel that the work is boring, congratulations, you have already stepped into the threshold of a product manager—your basic drawing skills have been perfected. At that time, you might as well jump out and think about it, design What is the purpose of this function, what problems can it help users solve, and what are the benefits to the enterprise? See the big from the small, these are the first two steps in product development, market analysis and demand discovery. When you learn to analyze current market trends, goals When users, competitors, clear market positioning and product planning, can discover needs and judge priorities, you can basically become a product manager. If you can also ensure that the development is progressing normally, and you have certain operational analysis capabilities after the product goes online, Carry out product iterative optimization, then you will be a mature product manager.”

After a long while, he sighed leisurely: "Actually, being a product manager is a very simple job. The threshold for this profession is relatively low, but it is very difficult to become a good product manager. There are many people who talk about theory, and those who fish in troubled waters There are also a lot of people, but very few people can really make a product well. This career is actually not easy, and you have to understand everything about the company’s business, products, design, technology, and operations.” Pause He added, "But who can be proficient in everything, you don't need to be afraid. After all, a product is jointly developed by a team. As a product manager, you only need to do your job well and become a leader with a clear direction in the team." The brain, just give clear instructions."

After a while, Gu Wei reminded: "In the company, communication with colleagues is still very important. If you have any communication problems, you can tell me, maybe I can give you an idea."

"En." Jiang Lebai nodded solemnly.

Gu Wei hasn't said so many psychological words to anyone for a long time, and Jiang Lebai is also choked by this long series of words, and needs time to chew them carefully.

No one spoke for a long time, and when the two of them were about to finish eating, Gu Wei got up and went to the bathroom.

When they left the banquet, Jiang Lebai wanted to pay the bill. Gu Wei told him that he had already paid the bill. Jiang Lebai heard that he wanted to pay Gu Wei, but the other party refused to accept it. Later, he took him home to pick up the books.

As the memories faded, Jiang Lebai replied thoughtfully: "Maybe I'm more persistent. He said that I would choose a path and I would go on, and I am indeed like this." Suddenly he continued, "I There are not many roads to choose, so... no matter what scenery or setbacks I encounter on the road, I will bite the bullet and go on.”

After Jiang Lebai finished speaking, he showed a helpless smile to Ding Shenghe.

A gust of warm wind swept across the lake, and the water shone brightly. Ding Shenghe saw the helplessness of this smile in his eyes. At that moment, he didn't know why, but he felt an urge to hug him.
