Chapter 1031: I Couldn't Dodge the Knife After All

Qin Lingling saw Qin Feng's look of disbelief and said helplessly: "Brother, it's true. The value of your option will not be less than 20 million by then. Even if it is placed in the bank and earns interest, it will be enough for your retirement."

Although Qin Feng was reluctant in every possible way, seeing that Qin Lingling had gone so far as to say this, he could only say in a low voice.

"It's okay to let me go, but I can't leave so cowardly. I must be given an explanation for the annual meeting."

Qin Lingling and Qin Hao looked at each other: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"I've checked, and Na Wei is responsible for this. If you fire Na Wei, I will agree to retire."

Qin Lingling turned to Qin Hao and said, "Why don't we just resign Na Wei? Anyway, the company is on the right track now, and a group of old people will be eliminated next."

Qin Hao was silent for a moment. He and Na Wei were not related to each other, so there was no guarantee of death, and Na Wei's ability did not meet his employment standards. The marketing department needed a pioneering talent, and Na Wei was suitable for Shu Cheng.

"Then give Na Wei some compensation and cash in the options before resigning."

Qin Feng said unhappily: "Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to resign him and cash in the options? Manager-level options cost three million. That's not money."

Seeing that Qin Lingling was a little moved, Qin Hao said angrily: "Brother, do you know what your biggest problem is?"

Qin Feng remained silent and stared at Qin Hao with his neck stiffened.

"You have two problems. One is that you are short-sighted and only care about immediate interests and never consider long-term gains and losses. The other is that you always think that you are extremely smart and treat others as fools."

"Yes, we can indeed save a lot of money by firing Na Wei in advance, but have you ever thought about what other veterans of the company will think? The world of medical beauty It’s so big, what will other companies think when they see us firing company founders during the Chinese New Year just for such a small amount of money?”

"Three million can be exchanged for a good reputation as a benevolent person. Why don't you settle the bill?"

When Qin Lingling saw this, she immediately made the decision: "Haozi is right, three million can buy a good reputation. This is a good deal."

…

On the other side, Na Wei didn't know that he was about to be fired, so he took his wife and children to his father-in-law's hometown during the Chinese New Year.

It happened to be time for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to move into their new house, so I decided to celebrate my son Zixuan's first birthday together.

For this reason, Na Wei also got some inflatable balloons and other things from the company's suppliers. The scene was huge and the whole village was alarmed.

Shen Lin's parents also felt that it was a great honor. The only pity was that their son Shen Lei could not come back because he had to take care of his seriously ill mother-in-law in the capital.

By the time Na Wei's family returned to the capital from the hometown of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and there were only two days left until the official start of work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Perhaps because she was so happy in her hometown, even Shen Lin forgot about the annual meeting.

On the day she went to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Lin discovered that Qin Feng didn't come to work. At first, she thought Qin Feng might have asked for leave.

But when she saw in her internal mailbox that Qin Feng had voluntarily resigned due to personal reasons, and that the HR manager had been promoted to the administrative manager, her face was full of disbelief.

"Hey, Shen Lin, this is the best news I've heard this year." A colleague on the side said with a smile.

At this time, everyone in the WeChat group of the Administration Department was celebrating, which shows how unpopular Qin Feng is in the Administration Department.

“Finally I don’t have to work overtime for no reason.”

"Heaven and earth, some true god showed up and took that Erha away."

When it comes to Qin Feng's resignation, the happiest person is probably Shen Lin. Ever since she joined the job, Qin Feng has been constantly causing trouble for her. However, before the smile on her face bloomed, she saw her husband Na Wei's face filled with despair. came out of Qin Hao's office.

Shen Lin hesitated for a moment, then left her seat with the tea cup and followed.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Na Wei's face was filled with bitterness, regret and grievance, which made Shen Lin feel heartbroken.

"Honey, I'm fired."

Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, and after a while she came back to her senses: "Is it because of the annual meeting?"

"Well, it is said to be the condition for Qin Feng to leave."

Shen Lin's eyes were red and she cursed: "Is this Qin Feng sick? Isn't he doing harm to others without benefiting himself?"

"Honey, let's go to Mr. Xiao Qin to beg for mercy. You didn't do anything wrong. Why should I fire you?"

Seeing Shen Lin crying more and more sadly, Na Wei patted her back to comfort her: "There is nothing Mr. Qin can do about this. You also know that Qin Feng is still his eldest brother no matter what. Mr. Xiao Qin has already fought for three million for me. The option rewards will be cashed out soon.”

When Shen Lin heard that there was an option reward of three million, Shen Lin's mood that had hit rock bottom came back a little bit. With this money, her family's daily expenses would not have to worry about for a long time.

"Is there really no room for redemption?"

Na Wei shook his head with a grimace. He originally wanted to comfort Shen Lin, but his voice was choked with sobs. He actually still has feelings for every day. He spent the best years of his life here. He originally thought he could I stayed here until I retired, but in the end I still didn't get what I wanted.

Compared with Qin Feng's departure, where employees from the administrative department celebrated with almost beating gongs and drums, Na Wei's departure attracted employees from the marketing department to say goodbye.

In the office, Qin Lingling couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong when she saw this scene.

"It's not unfair to fire Na Wei. After all, he is abusing public resources for personal gain. If this tendency is not nipped in the bud, it's hard to guarantee that others will not follow suit in the future." Qin Hao said seriously.

For a qualified manager, the most taboo is indecision, which is also what Qin Lingling lacks the most.

Many times, even if you make a mistake, you have to grit your teeth and stick to it. Otherwise, if you change your orders every day, the people below will hesitate whether to execute them when you give orders next time, and the prestige that you have built up with great difficulty will collapse.

Qin Lingling's eyes gradually became firm after hearing this, and then she pulled down the curtains and said to Qin Hao: "Now the position of marketing manager is vacant. Will it be promoted from within or recruited from outside?"

"Actually, I have a good candidate, but I don't know if she is willing to come."

"Oh? Who?"

"My girlfriend."

Qin Lingling frowned: "Li Xiaoyue, can she do it?"

Qin Hao smiled: "Sister, don't be deceived by her appearance, she is the best marketing planner in Creative Engine."

"What are you waiting for, let her come to work." Qin Lingling said impatiently after hearing this.

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "She may not be willing to come."

"Why? Creative Engine is only the second party, and Everyday is the first party. If it doesn't work out, I will give her a raise."

"Sister, do you know what Li Xiaoyue's life motto is?"

"What?"

"Life is short, enjoy life while you can. In her opinion, it's enough to have enough salary. There is not much difference between a monthly salary of 20,000 and a monthly salary of 40,000. She can't spend it all anyway."

Qin Lingling said dryly, "Why don't you talk to her first?"

"I'll give it a try. If she doesn't want to, let the headhunter help to recruit her."

As Qin Hao expected, when he asked Li Xiaoyue if she was willing to come to Everyday as the marketing manager, Li Xiaoyue decisively refused.

It's not that promotion and salary increase are not tempting to her at all. The main reason is that she has learned about the salary level of Everyday from Na Wei. The marketing manager only makes 30,000 yuan a month. She earns 20,000 yuan a month at Creative Engine, and she doesn't have to work overtime or take any responsibilities. But being a marketing manager is definitely not that easy.

"My sister said that if you come, I will give you double salary."

The temptation of double salary is still there. Li Xiaoyue was silent for a full minute before gritting her teeth and refusing: "No, I have enough money to spend. Thank Sister Ling for her kindness."

"In fact, Na Wei often does not work overtime every day." Qin Hao reminded.

Li Xiaoyue was entangled again for a while. It's not that she doesn't lack money, but she doesn't have such a big desire for material things. For her, clothes bought from street stalls for dozens of yuan are no different from those big-name fashions as long as they are comfortable to wear. However, Hanfu, handicrafts, playing script killing, food, and travel all cost money.

Even after being with Qin Hao, every time she goes out to play, she will rush to pay part of the expenses herself and will not let Qin Hao bear all the expenses.

"Do you promise?"

"I can't promise that. The key is your work efficiency."

Li Xiaoyue hesitated for almost a minute on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll go."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao made an OK gesture to Qin Lingling. Qin Lingling showed a relieved smile on her face. She didn't care what outsiders said about Everyday being a family business. In her opinion, no matter how bad the family was, it was still a family. What's wrong with nepotism? If it weren't for his younger brother Qin Hao, Everyday might have gone bankrupt long ago.

...

Na Wei returned home and lay on the sofa in a daze. Although he had a three million option contract in his hand, he felt that his life had reached a small alley. He had no direction for where to go next.

Na's mother asked in confusion: "Na Wei, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, mom, I'm just a little tired. You don't have to worry about me. I'll just take a break." Na Wei said in a muffled voice.

Seeing this, the old lady brought him a blanket: "It's cold, cover yourself up, don't catch a cold."

It wasn't until Shen Lin got off work that the old lady figured out what was going on.

"Hey, I don't think it's a big deal. It's just unemployment. I still have 3 million options. This is not a small amount of money. It's enough for the family to spend for a long time."

Hearing the old lady's indifferent tone, Na Wei and Shen Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.

The older generation always has a fearless attitude of "at worst, start all over again". In their view, as long as there is a place to live and a meal to eat, life is not bad.

But it's 2019 now. Their generation, including the generation of Yueyue Zixuan in the future, can no longer meet their needs with just food and clothing.

Shen Lin couldn't refute the old lady, so she could only call Na Wei into the room.

"What are your plans now?"

Na Wei stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes: "My mind is completely blank now."

Shen Lin shook her head when she saw this: "You are like this, you only care about your head and not your butt. I told you not to provoke Qin Feng a long time ago. Look, now you have lost your job."

"Then I got rid of him. I exchanged a department manager for a vice president. It's not a loss." Na Wei was furious when he thought of Qin Feng.

Shen Lin rolled her eyes when she heard it: "How can you be the same as him? No matter what, he is Qin Lingling's elder brother. Even if he loses his job, he will not worry about having no money. What about you? This family is counting on you to make money to support the family."

Na Wei instantly wilted. The biggest pain of a middle-aged man is that when he opens his eyes, he sees people who need to rely on him, but there is no one to rely on.

"You should have met a lot of bosses in the medical beauty industry over the years. Why don't you ask them if they are recruiting people?" Shen Lin suggested.

Na Wei was helpless: "This is the only way to go."

The next day, Na Wei still drove his children to school, and then sent Shen Lin to the company.

Shen Lin didn't forget to remind her before getting off the car: "Remember to make more calls when you get back. Don't be discouraged. One or two are not needed. Maybe if you call ten, someone will be in need of someone like you."

"Don't worry, your husband is so great, you don't have to worry about not being able to find a job." Na Wei forced a smile.

"Well, hubby, you will always be the best in my heart."

Shen Lin gave Na Wei a kiss before leaving.

When Shen Lin arrived at the company, not long after she sat down, she heard a burst of applause from the marketing department. She looked over curiously, only to find that Qin Hao was introducing something with a young girl.

Just when Shen Lin was confused, the colleague next to her lowered her voice.

"The manager of the marketing department is so young. He looks like he is only in his mid-twenties."

"Normally, since Mr. Ling took over the company, how many veterans have been eliminated. Do you think it was over after we laid off 20% last year? There will definitely be more layoffs this year, but it won't be as big a move as before."

Shen Lin couldn't help but feel excited when she heard this. She was already forty years old. To be honest, she was older than most of the employees here. A strong sense of crisis came to her heart.

At the same time, after Qin Hao took Li Xiaoyue to visit the company, he assigned her work tasks. At the same time, he did not forget to give her instructions when Li Xiaoyue left.

"From now on, you have to learn to be a manager. Let others do the specific work. You are only responsible for accepting their results. In addition, Na Wei has just left, and the employees in the marketing department may have some opinions on you. If you encounter If you find something particularly difficult, just tell me and I will handle it.”

Li Xiaoyue was slightly startled, then smiled at Qin Hao: "Don't worry, I am loved by everyone, and they will like me."

"Good luck."

Li Xiaoyue came to the marketing manager's office. The label on the door had been replaced with her name. Sitting in the independent office, Li Xiaoyue fiddled with the ornaments on the desk a few times in a novel way, and then started to turn on the computer.

After assigning the work to several team leaders in charge, Li Xiaoyue found that she seemed to have nothing to do.

"These leaders look very busy every day. What are they busy with?" Li Xiaoyue raised her chin and thought in confusion.
