Chapter 527: Resignation
Someone had already started to respond to the man’s words. Perhaps his words resonated with many people. As soon as he finished speaking, more and more people stood up to respond to the first person.
“I want to resign too! If we continue to stay, the company might not have the money to pay us!”
“You’re right. I want to too!”
“…”
More and more people stood up excitedly.
This matter quickly reached Jiang Xin and Lin Xi’s ears. Jiang Xin had been having a headache over the company and the trending topics for a few days. When she heard this news, she stood up angrily. “Which department? Where’s the manager? Aren’t they going to deal with this matter properly? If they can’t handle it properly, get lost!”
Lin Xi was also mentally and physically tired. She felt like she had already worked her whole life’s share of overtime and staying up all night these past few days. When she heard this news, her heart was filled with agreement, because she also wanted to go to another company, but she couldn’t show it on her face.
Lin Xi looked troubled. “It was people from several departments who gathered together to cause trouble. I heard that the managers of the various departments have also been convinced. They’re working together to resign from you, President Jiang!”
“What?” Jiang Xin’s face twisted, but perhaps because she had encountered too many problems these past few days, she quickly calmed down. “Okay, so be it. Lin Xi, go help them settle the resignation procedures.”
“But President Jiang, if all the employees leave, won’t our company…” Lin Xi asked worriedly.
“It’s not that easy to leave.” Jiang Xin slowly sat back down and sneered. “If you want to resign before the contract expires, you have to write in and apply to the Human Resources Department 30 days in advance. If you didn’t, you’ll be considered to have breached the contract. Coincidentally, the company has been having some difficulties with cash flow recently. We could use the penalty fee from the breach of contracts to help with it.”
“Go to the Human Resources Department and bring me all the contracts for the employees who are about to leave. Let’s calculate them one by one!”
Lin Xi’s heart turned cold. She had originally thought that if the employees below succeeded in resigning, she would leave immediately, but after hearing Jiang Xin’s words, she felt that she was one step away from resigning.
She immediately did as she was told and passed the original words to the employees who wanted to leave.
Some people who had some assets at home left without hesitation after paying the penalty for breaching the contract. Their confident look made those who did not have the money to pay the penalty envious.
There were very few rich people, so most of them were still forced to stay. There were only two choices in front of them. One was to submit their resignation and wait for a month, and the other was to stay here. Perhaps the company would return to normal in less than a month. However, everyone knew that this hope was slim, so they followed the rules and only submitted their resignations before continuing to work despite their resentment.
When Jiang Xin passed by the office, she could feel the resentment from the employees, but most of them did not dare to say anything. They glared at Jiang Xin angrily. Jiang Xin’s sharp gaze swept over, and those people quickly lowered their heads.
Jiang Xin’s back gradually disappeared. Those people looked up at her back again, their burning gazes seeming to burn a hole in Jiang Xin’s back.
Jiang Xin had received a message and left. There were only a few words in the message: “See you at the usual place.”
But she immediately understood who had sent her the message.
At this critical moment, she was extremely frustrated. Her first reaction was to refuse, but when she finished typing the rejection and was about to send it, she hesitated.
Since they were working together, that person was so powerful. He definitely had the ability to help her turn the tables.
This was undoubtedly a good help to Jiang Xin, who had been alone for a long time.
Kang Xu had not appeared these past few days, and there was not even any news of him. Jiang Xin could not be bothered to pay attention to him because relying on Kang Xu was useless.
As promised, Jiang Xin arrived at the cafe on the outskirts of the city. There were still a lot of people here. Just like last time, she first looked around before asking the masked man in a low voice, “Why are you looking for me? I’ve been very busy recently. You’d better make it short.”
The masked man did not care about Jiang Xin’s tone at all. He took a sip of coffee calmly. “Of course I’m here to help you, but the prerequisite is that you have to help me too.”
