28: Talent Return

"Since you've said so, it would be insensible of me not to come back," Yang Tianmo said. "Then I have to go back and resign first, because there's no work to do at the company, and I guess those leaders have long hoped we would resign voluntarily, so they wouldn't have to fire us and pay compensation."

"We don't need their compensation, we'll give you a year-end bonus then!" Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"There's a year-end bonus too?" Yang Tianmo asked in surprise.

"Of course there is," Liu Xiaolin said. "As long as we can sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Chunfeng Changan Group, then we won't have to worry about not having work. If there's work all year round, we can make money, and what is making money for? It's to create more benefits for everyone."

"That's great! Then I'll resign this afternoon and come to work tomorrow," Yang Tianmo said.

"Okay," Wang Shengjun said. "Tomorrow you can learn the production technology process for the new product with Qi Qingan and the others. Although they are largely similar, it's better to learn more and be more prepared, right?"

"Exactly, exactly, you're never too old to learn," Yang Tianmo said happily.

"As expected of an old worker, his attitude towards learning hasn't changed," Wang Shengjun praised.

Seeing that he had persuaded Yang Tianmo to come back so quickly, Liu Xiaolin immediately felt great confidence in persuading others to return.

The few of them chatted casually, and soon it was lunchtime.

"Let's go, let's go eat at the cafeteria, General Manager Liu specifically instructed the cafeteria to add an extra main dish today," Wang Shengjun said.

"Let's go, let's go together, maybe we'll see quite a few former employees," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was exactly mealtime, and the cafeteria was almost full.

Looking around, there really were quite a few people who had resigned and came back to collect their wages eating in the cafeteria.

They chatted with former colleagues they were familiar with, and also learned about the gradually improving situation at Jiangnan Machinery Factory.

Some people had been doing odd jobs everywhere after resigning, and really wanted to come back.

While others had found stable jobs, and no longer had that thought.

"Our factory's prospects are so good now, are we going to hire people?"

"I heard Minister Qi say that they are going to hire people."

"Then can I come back?"

"I don't have the final say on this, you'll have to go ask General Manager Liu."

"Why come back? A good horse doesn't eat Return to the Grass (return grass), it's a bit awkward to leave and then come back."

"Of course you'd say that, your current company is so stable, you get a good salary every month and it's paid on time, it's normal not to want to come back."

"Yeah, we're different, we're still looking for odd jobs everywhere, coming back would be the best option."

"If you want to come back, go find General Manager Liu, I'm not stopping you."

"Stop arguing, eat properly, can't even the main dish General Manager Liu specifically asked the cafeteria to add shut you up?"

"What are you talking about? Who's arguing? We're just chatting."

"That's right, we're just chatting. You didn't resign and held out until the factory recovered, so you think you're amazing now, huh?"

"What are you saying? What's so amazing? I just stayed put at Jiangnan Machinery Factory, is that not allowed?"

"Stop arguing, General Manager Liu and the others are coming over. Eat properly."

"General Manager Liu is so young, yet he's quite capable, not only did he get state-supported technology and workshop equipment, but he also got a large batch of state-supported raw materials."

"That's right, others have backing, at most it's some mayor or provincial governor, unlike us, our backing is the state!"

"Exactly, exactly, the backing for our Jiangnan Machinery Factory is the state, do you think it could possibly not have a future?"

As soon as they said this, the workers who had been doing odd jobs and those who had successfully switched jobs, all started thinking actively about coming back.

State-supported? Not only supporting workshops and equipment, but also supporting raw materials?

Doesn't this mean state allocation?

If the state allocates funds, isn't Jiangnan Machinery Factory just waiting to make a lot of money?

This time Liu Xiaolin and his group, carrying their trays, arrived at a table near them and sat down, and began eating.

"Oh, the person eating with General Manager Liu seems to be Yang Tianmo," Worker A said.

"It is him, he probably also came to collect his wages," Worker B replied.

"I heard he was poached with a high salary, why does he also care about this free lunch?" Worker A said.

"Could it be that he came back to work? Otherwise, why would General Manager Liu, Deputy Factory Director Wang, and Minister Jiao be chatting with him so happily?" Worker C's guess was quite accurate.

"Ask him, you ask him," Worker A egged him on.

"I'll ask, I'll ask. Yang Tianmo, did you also come to collect your wages?" Worker C asked, making conversation.

"Yes, I came to collect my wages and also came to eat at the cafeteria with General Manager Liu and the others," Yang Tianmo replied.

"The food at our cafeteria is pretty good, right? If you eat it today, it might be hard to eat it again in the future. Right?" Worker C asked indirectly.

"What are you talking about? I can eat it every day from now on! I have already decided to come back to work," Yang Tianmo said directly, not intending to hide anything.

"You're really planning to come back?" Everyone was very surprised.

"Of course it's true," Yang Tianmo said.

Seeing that everyone was so concerned about Yang Tianmo's return, Liu Xiaolin decided to strike while the iron was hot.
