Once the properties owned by the Zhao family are sold, the Zhao family will be a complete empty shell, no different from bankruptcy. The collapse of the group that once dominated the southwest region will only happen in an instant.
The project was transferred, the property was sold, and the group was laying off employees on a large scale. Although the employees had been prepared for it, they lost their jobs and inevitably became emotional. The company continued to be in trouble for several days.
As for Zhao Tingxing, he was in his CEO's office and had not left the house for several days. No matter what the outside world said, no matter how many senior executives asked for a meeting, he refused. All matters were handed over to the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department.
After so many years, the only things left were the Zhao Group building and the villa where the old lady lived, and all other wealth was gone.
After the large-scale layoffs, only a few dozen people were left, the backbone of each department. Only then did Zhao Tingxing show up and hold a meeting with them.
There is no longer the pride and ambition of the past, nor the arrogance of the past. People fall from heights to the ground, feeling a little depressed and lacking in energy.
"I am very touched that you can stay. But now that the Zhao family has lost, everything needs to start from scratch. If you are willing to stay, we will fight together. If you want to leave, I will send you off with both hands."
If you don’t draw a cake, you won’t stay.
He made a very pragmatic and ordinary speech, and then he stopped talking. He leaned on the chair behind the conference table, almost sinking into it.
After a moment of silence, several of them stood up, bowed to him and said:
"Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry."
"sorry."
Most of these backbones have been with him for many years. They didn't dare to mention it because of their reputation. But in the conference room, when one person stood up, a second person stood up, and a third person stood up.
One after another, about a dozen key people stood up.
There is no way, Zhao's current situation, I'm afraid they won't be able to pay wages if they follow him here, and they have already found a new home, and they all have to support their family, which is very realistic.
Zhao Tingxing just nodded and sent them off as he said just now.
After leaving most of the conference room, it became even more deserted. There were only a few people sitting here and there, probably about a dozen people, including the vice president of finance.
These dozen people have followed Zhao Tingxing for so many years, and they know his temper very well, and they can be ignited and exploded at any time, and they will be scolded.
But he has always been generous to them. As long as they are obedient, he will never give them soup if he has meat to eat. This is the reason why they choose to stay. The other one also admires his ability and believes that he will one day make a comeback.
"Mr. Zhao, we are not leaving. Get up from where you fell."
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, we believe you."
Different from the people who just left the conference room one after another, those who stayed behind were all excited and followed Zhao Tingxing with confidence.
Zhao Tingxing, who was originally slumped in the office chair, now unconsciously sat up straight, and light gradually came out of his dark eyes. As long as there was still one person following him, he had no reason to give up.
At some point, the human resources director pushed a cake in from outside and placed it in the center of the conference table.
"Mr. Zhao, happy birthday!"
Zhao Tingxing was stunned. The birthday on his household registration book and ID card belonged to Zhao Tingxing. He just borrowed someone else's name and date of birth.
The old lady once said, you are twins, this birthday is your real birthday.
But he felt that the day he was rescued by the old lady was his real birthday, and that was the birthday he had always celebrated.
At this moment, the people below wished him a happy birthday so sincerely, and he happily accepted it.
When he made the wish, he thought everyone was singing Happy Birthday, but the human resources director took the lead in singing "Start Over".
All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories.
