110: Chapter 110 Rising Sun Crisis
Young Master Yu's retaliation came with ferocious speed.
Early the next morning, Xuri Design Co., Ltd. came under attack from multiple sides.
Arriving at the company, Zhang Yafei immediately lost her composure.
"Chairman, it's bad! All the orders we had on hand have been canceled."
"Even the long-preordered ones have all been withdrawn."
"At the same time, several other design firms that have always opposed us have already poached seven or eight of our senior designers."
"Even a department manager has defected to another company, taking some design blueprints with him."
"Our company is suffering heavy losses right now."
...
Listening to the reports coming in from various departments, Zhang Yafei slumped into her chair, powerless.
At this moment, she truly had no idea what to do.
"What on earth is going on? Who exactly did our company offend?"
"In my estimation, it's likely Wei Dongsheng's doing. I heard he sold his shares to the Chairman yesterday for 3 billion."
"How can this guy be so wicked? He built this company with his own hands, yet now he wants to destroy it."
"Don't talk nonsense; that's not how it is."
"I heard it was caused by Zhao Feiyu offending Young Master Yu of Zhanlan Fishery."
"What? It's Young Master Yu? We're finished!"
"No wonder Wei Dongsheng was in such a hurry to sell his shares to the Chairman for 3 billion."
"Does that mean our company is going bankrupt?"
"I think it's possible. Zhao Feiyu might be rich, but he's no match for Young Master Yu!"
"We're doomed. If the company goes under, what will we do?"
"Maybe... we should just jump ship too."
...
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone immediately began to waver.
Right then, Zhang Yafei appeared at the office door unnoticed, looking at everyone with a gloomy expression.
Looking over, the person who had just been inciting everyone to jump ship immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
"If anyone wants to leave, go to HR and process your resignation immediately. The company doors are wide open; no one will stop you if you want to go!"
Zhang Yafei's sharp shout made everyone tremble.
As a manager, Zhang Yafei had established absolute prestige over the years, and with a single sentence, everyone returned to their workstations.
But the man who had been inciting the others gritted his teeth and suddenly looked up. "Everyone, Zhao Feiyu has offended Young Master Yu.
If you don't want to go down with the company, I suggest you come with me to Taolin Design Company.
Their doors are completely open to us now. Even Manager Hu Debiao has taken a group of senior designers to their firm.
I'm sure if we go together, we'll definitely receive special treatment.
I'm going to process my resignation right now. Whoever wants to come with me, let's go."
Having said that, the man didn't even look at Zhang Yafei and walked straight toward HR.
As he passed Zhang Yafei, he lowered his head even further.
"Bai Lang, you've been with the company for five years, haven't you? I believe the company has treated you well; I really didn't expect you to do this."
At this point, Zhang Yafei's gaze toward Bai Lang was devoid of any emotion.
"You can leave, but do not incite the others."
Since things had reached this point, Bai Lang no longer had any reservations.
With a cold snort, he said disdainfully, "To think a multi-billion dollar company has just landed in your hands and it's already going bankrupt before you could even get comfortable—that must feel terrible!
Since it's come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore.
The general manager of Taolin Design Company gave me 200,000.
For every high-end talent I bring over from our company, he'll give me an extra 100,000.
It's hard to turn down such a temptation."
After speaking, Bai Lang turned to everyone.
"Everyone, the commission they're giving me is 100,000. If any of you come with me, I'll split that 100,000 and give you 50,000 each. Plus, I guarantee your treatment there won't be any worse than it is here."
Hearing this, those who were still hesitant and worried immediately began to waver.
Once the first person stepped forward, a second followed immediately.
Before long, with a flurry of movement, five or six people stepped out—all of whom were the backbone of Xuri Design Co., Ltd.
These people lowered their heads, not daring to look Zhang Yafei in the eye, and silently stood behind Bai Lang.
Seeing this, Zhang Yafei laughed out of sheer anger.
"Good, good, good!!! You're all leaving, then?"
Having said that, Zhang Yafei looked at the remaining people.
"Who else wants to leave?"
Just then, a somewhat introverted girl wearing a suit and thick black-rimmed glasses stepped forward.
Seeing this girl, Zhang Yafei's heart completely died.
"Bian Jiaojiao, are you leaving too?"
Zhang Yafei's voice trembled slightly.
At this moment, she felt that everything she had sacrificed for the company was in vain, a total failure.
Because this girl was someone she highly valued.
After Zheng Jiakai was arrested, it was this girl who took over his position.
Just yesterday, Zhang Yafei was thinking about promoting her to general manager after a few more years of grooming.
She hadn't expected that she would also want to leave the company today because of this.
"Go, just go, everyone go!"
Zhang Yafei closed her eyes in despair.
At this moment, she felt particularly sorry to Zhao Feiyu.
After all, Zhao Feiyu had just handed this company over to her yesterday, and she hadn't expected it to turn into such a mess.
However, the next moment, a sentence from the girl named Bian Jiaojiao made Zhang Yafei's eyes snap open.
"Chairman, I'm not leaving!"
"I stepped forward because I want to tell everyone that you should all know perfectly well in your hearts how the company has treated you over the years."
"You! Guo Yanping!"
Bian Jiaojiao pointed indignantly at a woman standing behind Bai Lang.
"Two years ago, who helped you resolve the issue with your child's schooling?
It was the Chairman who used her connections to get your child into a key middle school.
That favor didn't cost you a single cent!
Back then, even if you had spent 300,000, you wouldn't have gotten in, but the Chairman didn't ask you for a penny.
Now that the company is in trouble, you're leaving? Do you have any conscience at all? Are you even human?"
"And you! Li Tao!"
"When your father was hospitalized after a car accident, you called the Chairman in the middle of the night.
Without a second thought, the Chairman went to the hospital herself and even advanced 100,000 for the surgery fees.
Have you forgotten that?"
"And you! Zhang Yang!"
"How did you get into this company in the first place?
You said you were a kid from the countryside.
You said you were the only college student in your village.
For this job, you almost knelt at the company gates.
It was the Chairman who, seeing your sincere determination, made an exception to hire you.
And you knew nothing when you first started.
It was the Chairman who taught you everything, step by step.
Now that your wings have grown and you can fly, and the company is facing difficulties, you want to run away? Are you even human?
Check your own conscience!"
...
Bian Jiaojiao pointed at these people, indignantly recounting all their stories.
And every word of these stories pierced deeply into their consciences.
