Chapter 54

By early October, the chill of autumn was deepening, yet the office of the New Media Innovation Department was a scene of intense, bustling activity. Since the department’s strategic kickoff meeting, all projects had been progressing in an orderly fashion. Under Lin Wei’s leadership, the "Fusion Strategy" multi-product line promotion project, bolstered by both the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, had finalized detailed promotion plans and preparatory work for the first two product lines—"White-Collar Consumption Installment" and the "Upgraded Student Loan"—with Sun Hao’s sales team. A formal launch was expected by the following week. Although the initial coordination had its fair share of hiccups, the overall progress was smooth, thanks to Li Banjia’s frequent, "incognito" style of mediation and Sun Hao’s strong support. The sales team, initially skeptical of the modular and data-driven approach introduced by the New Media Innovation Department, was gradually becoming optimistic. Watching the green checkmarks accumulate on the project schedule, Li Banjia felt a sense of relief. As a P8 "acting" manager, he was finally earning his keep.
