My name is Wang Ling, and the moment I transmigrated, I became Cao Cao's chief adviser.
But I can't devise clever strategies, read the heavens, or lead troops.
All I can do is... set KPIs.
"My lord, this quarter's KPI is to capture Xuzhou, with a citizen retention rate of at least 90%!"
"Fengxiao, as Chief Strategy Officer, you need to bring at least three strategic partners, like Xu You, into the Guandu project."
"Yunchang, you can surrender to the Han but not to Cao, but you'll have to sign a non-compete agreement. You can't oppose us for a year after you leave!"
Faced with my flowcharts, Gantt charts, and data dashboards...
Everyone was stunned.
Cao Cao: "Zichen, I don't understand these charts, but they look impressive!"
Guo Jia: "Wang Sima's 'data loop' is worth more than a hundred thousand soldiers!"
Later, when Boss Cao claimed the empire, I was at headquarters writing his annual performance review.
"My lord, at this year's company gala, will you sing 'A Short Song' or show off another talent?"
Cao Cao: "Zichen, you set the KPIs that won us the empire. You decide!"
