Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 609: Absurd Overtime

The on-site entertainment reporters heard what Chen Yiyang said and thought that a big boss like Chen Yiyang wouldn’t lie.

So they weren’t in a hurry anymore and patiently waited for the opening ceremony of the "Three-Body" series to end before surrounding Chen Yiyang again.

Chen Yiyang indeed kept his promise, sparing half an hour to answer the reporters’ questions.

Of course, the precondition was that the bodyguards and assistants around Chen Yiyang had to form a protective circle, keeping these reporters half a meter away from him.

Otherwise, these reporters would surely dare to shove their microphones right up to Chen Yiyang’s nose.

Since Chen Yiyang’s arrival was quite sudden, the reporters here today were all entertainment reporters.

At first, the questions they asked were all related to the entertainment industry, hoping to get some insider secrets from Chen Yiyang.

After Chen Yiyang gave detailed and friendly answers to their questions.

The companies and leaders behind these reporters urgently called and gave instructions, telling them to ask Chen Yiyang about matters outside the entertainment realm.

Including the recent announcement by Chen Yiyang that Yiyang Group Company would no longer use Ah Li’s DingTalk office software.

"Mr. Chen, all companies under the Yiyang System announced they would stop using DingTalk as their office software.

Is this related to the recent fierce competition between Yiyang Flash Sale and Taobao Flash Sale?"

"First, I believe the flash sale field is large enough to support two to three companies. We are currently in a healthy competitive environment, so this has little to do with flash sales."

As soon as Chen Yiyang spoke his first sentence.

The reporters below were somewhat disappointed. They thought Chen Yiyang would use bureaucratic language to dismiss the question.

But Chen Yiyang continued, "The Yiyang Group Company announced it would no longer use DingTalk. Mainly because we recently saw a report about DingTalk’s CEO being interviewed.

The CEO of DingTalk said in the interview that their team needs to sleep less than five hours a day to update to the latest version of DingTalk.

Seeing this interview, I realized that DingTalk is not the product needed by our Yiyang System."

"Why is that?" a reporter asked promptly.

"Because DingTalk claims to be an AI efficiency tool that can improve team collaboration.

But this tool actually requires a team to sleep less than five hours a day to produce it.

This clearly proves that DingTalk cannot help companies improve collaboration efficiency, otherwise DingTalk’s team wouldn’t need to work overtime.

An efficiency tool that needs to be created inefficiently shows that this tool fundamentally lacks efficiency."

Chen Yiyang’s answer was very straightforward and filled with sarcasm.

Even the entertainment reporters present realized that Chen Yiyang was directly criticizing Ah Li’s product.

Each one was excitedly taking notes.

"Moreover," Chen Yiyang clearly didn’t intend to miss this opportunity and continued,

"Sleeping less than five hours a day clearly doesn’t meet the normal sleep duration, severely damaging health.

In our country, surrogacy and organ trafficking are illegal because both obtain profits by compromising health.

And working overtime unlawfully, reducing rest time, fundamentally has no difference from these, both are trading health for money.

Therefore, for the sake of abiding by the law, the Yiyang Group Company’s companies will no longer use DingTalk as their office software and will permanently blacklist its management team and CEO as entities not allowed to cooperate with."

Big news.

Chen Yiyang spoke his words out bit by bit.

The reporters below were diligently and accurately recording each word.

This news doesn’t need them to embellish it or use any inches of artistic freedom; it’s enough to spark a media frenzy.

After answering this question, Chen Yiyang checked the time, noticing it had been half an hour.

So Chen Yiyang announced that the question-and-answer session was over and left Hengdian surrounded by assistants and bodyguards.

However, Chen Yiyang hadn’t even returned to Lin’an yet.

His interview comments were already being reported online.

Originally, Chen Yiyang had already selected a marketing team, waiting to promote the related topic as soon as Chen Yiyang finished the interview.

But before the marketing team could act.

Sufferers of DingTalk and Ah Li began sharing their personal experiences online, collectively mocking DingTalk.

A former DingTalk employee directly came forward to share firsthand testimony.

The most outrageous behavior of the current DingTalk CEO was checking the departments of the company at around eleven or twelve at night.

Only to find that no one was in the office because everyone had gone home.

So the CEO personally called the heads of each department, asking why they had clocked off so early.

Then held a meeting the next day, criticizing the departments for not working diligently and showing tendencies to leave early.

This DingTalk CEO is also quite a character. He used to be in charge of DingTalk at Ah Li and later left Ah Li to start his own business.

After more than four years of struggling without success, Ah Li acquired shares in his company and brought him back to work at DingTalk again.

Ah Li did this because DingTalk initially had decent market share, but it has been declining over the years.

So Ah Li thought that bringing this guy back might revive DingTalk.

But Ah Li never considered that DingTalk’s failure is a reflection of Ah Li’s suite of software collectively failing.

Not just bringing back the old CEO, even a miracle can’t save DingTalk.

Because the company’s values are set.

And this CEO returning to DingTalk, possibly to achieve results or due to some bet-against agreement,

went completely mad after returning.

Believing that leaving work before one or two in the morning was equivalent to leaving early.

Apart from that, all employees had to follow a nine-to-nine meeting schedule, meaning a morning meeting at 9 AM and an evening meeting at 9 PM.

This meeting schedule is openly known, even outsiders are aware of it.

There might be some room for justification for working at midnight, but this 9-to-9, with over twelve hours of work, seems excessive even by slave standards.

After all, even slaves, when required to work twelve hours a day, could rest after those twelve hours.

However, DingTalk employees still had to attend meetings after working twelve hours, and how late the meeting went depended on the leaders’ mood.

Chen Yiyang also saw the online mockery and only then realized that the DingTalk CEO’s comments during the interview weren’t exaggerations.

DingTalk was indeed like that.

Of course, some still stubbornly said.

While employees worked late, didn’t the CEO personally stay late with them as well?

Apart from the CEO’s salary issue, some DingTalk employees also exposed how the DingTalk CEO worked overtime.
