Chapter 25: After all, I still didn’t escape this knife
Seeing Qin Feng's unbelievable look, Qin Lingling 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 in such a cowardly manner. 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 found out that Na Wei is responsible for this. If you fire Na Wei, I will agree to retire."
Qin Lingling turned sideways and said to Qin Hao: "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, cash in the options and then resign."
Qin Feng said unhappily: "Why don't we just take this opportunity to fire him and cash in the options? The 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 aesthetics
It’s such a big company, 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, and this business is not a loss."
…
On the other hand, 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 just so happened that my father-in-law and mother-in-law were moving into their new house, so I decided to celebrate my son Zixuan’s first birthday together.
To this end, Na Wei also got some inflatable balloons from the company's suppliers, which caused a huge scene and alarmed the entire village.
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 of work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Lin discovered that Qin Feng did not 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, which true god showed up and took that Erha away."
When it comes to Qin Feng resigning, Shen Lin should be the happiest person. Ever since she joined the company, Qin Feng has been constantly causing trouble for her. However, before the smile on her face could bloom, 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 her tea cup and followed.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Na Wei's face was full of bitterness, regret and grievance, which made Shen Lin feel heartbroken.
"Honey, I was 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's 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, so why should I fire you?"
Seeing Shen Lin getting more and more sad as she cried, Na Wei patted her back to comfort her: "There is nothing Mr. Qin can do about it. You also know that Qin Feng is still his eldest brother no matter what. Mr. Qin has already won three hundred dollars for me. The option reward of RMB 10,000 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 at all?"
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 couldn't get what I wanted.
Compared with Qin Feng’s departure, which was almost celebrated by employees in the administration department 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.
"Actually, it's not unfair to fire Na Wei. In any case, it's considered a public weapon for private use. If we don't kill this trend, there's no guarantee that others won't follow suit in the future." Qin Hao said sternly.
For a qualified manager, the most taboo thing is indecisiveness, and this is what Qin Lingling lacks the most.
Many times, even if you make a mistake, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Otherwise, if you change the order every day, the next time you issue an order, the people below will hesitate to execute it, and the little prestige you finally built up 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 that the position of marketing manager is vacant, should we promote it from within or recruit from outside?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "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-performing marketing planner in Creative Engine."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let her come to work quickly." Qin Lingling said impatiently after hearing this.
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "She may not be willing to come."
"Why? The creative engine is only Party B, and every day is Party A. If it doesn't work, I will give her a salary increase."
"Sister, do you know what Li Xiaoyue's life creed is?"
"What?"
"Life is short, and she wants to enjoy herself in time. In her opinion, her salary is enough to spend her money. There is not much difference between a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan and a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan. 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 find someone."
As Qin Hao expected, when he asked Li Xiaoyue if she would like to work as a marketing manager every day, 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 learned about the daily salary level from Na Wei. The marketing manager only earns 30,000 yuan a month. Her monthly salary at Creative Engine is 20,000 yuan, and she also
You don’t have to work overtime, and you don’t have to take on any responsibilities, but being a marketing manager is definitely not that easy.
"My sister said that if you come, I will give you double your salary."
The temptation of double salary was still there. Li Xiaoyue was silent for a full minute before gritting her teeth and refusing: "No, I have enough money. Thank you Sister Ling for your kindness."
"Actually, Na Wei often doesn't work overtime every day." Qin Hao reminded.
Li Xiaoyue became entangled again for a while. It wasn't that she was not short of money, but she didn't have that much desire for material things. For her, as long as she was comfortable, the clothes she bought for tens of dollars at a street stall were no different from those big-name fashions, but Hanfu, handicrafts, and toys
Script killing, food, and travel all cost money.
Even after getting together with Qin Hao, every time she went out to play, she would rush to pay part of the expenses herself and would not let Qin Hao bear all the expenses.
"You promise?"
"I can't guarantee this. The key depends on your work efficiency."
Li Xiaoyue on the other end of the phone hesitated for almost a minute: "Okay, I'll go."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao made an OK gesture to Qin Lingling. Qin Lingling showed a happy smile on her face. She didn't care about outsiders saying that every day is a family business. In her opinion, no matter how bad a family is, they are still family. What's wrong with nepotism?
If it weren't for his brother Qin Hao, he might have gone bankrupt every day.
…
When Na Wei returned home, he lay down 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, and he had no direction at all about where to go next.
The mother asked in confusion: "Na Wei, why are you doing this?"
"It's okay, Mom, I'm just a little tired. Don't worry about me. I'll just take a rest." Na Wei said in a muffled voice.
When the old lady saw this, she brought him a blanket and said, "It's cold. Cover yourself up so you 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, what's the big deal for me? I'm just unemployed. I still have three million in options. This is not a small sum of money. It can last a long time for a family."
Listening to the old lady's nonchalant tone, Na Wei and Shen Lin couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
The older generation always has the fear of "doing it all over again". In the eyes of their generation, as long as they still have a place to live and a mouthful of food to eat, life is not bad.
But it’s already 2019, and their generation, including Yueyue Zixuan’s generation 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 blankly: "My mind is completely blank right now."
Shen Lin shook her head when she saw this: "That's how you do things. You don't care about your body. I told you not to provoke Qin Feng. Look, it's better now. I've lost my job."
"Then why don't I get rid of him too? It's not a loss for me to replace a department manager with a vice president." Na Wei became angry when he thought of Qin Feng.
Shen Lin rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Are you the same as him? No matter what happens, he is still Qin Lingling's eldest brother. Even if he loses his job, he will not worry about lack of money. As for you, the whole family is counting on you to make money. Supporting the family."
Na Wei withered in an instant. The biggest pain point for middle-aged men is that when they open their eyes, they are all people who need to rely on themselves, but there is no one who can rely on them.
"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 we can 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, 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.
