Chapter 111 Want to win? How naive!
With the support of Yenching University, Yang Xin's reputation can now be fully restored.
Smoke filled Zhang Yao's office at Feirun Company.
"Damn Jiang Yang! He actually managed to turn the tables!" Zhang Yao stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
He never expected that Jiang Yang could get the Kyoto Daily to help him, and he never expected that Yenching University would publicly support Yang Xin.
Zhang Yao felt a wave of panic.
He originally thought that he could easily bring down Jiang Yang with his own methods.
He underestimated Jiang Yang's strength.
"The Beijing Daily? That's the mouthpiece of state-owned enterprises! How could it possibly be paying attention to a clothing factory that a young man just started?"
Zhang Yao took a deep drag on his cigarette, and through the swirling smoke, his face was terrifyingly grim: "This kid definitely has someone backing him!"
He paced back and forth restlessly.
Suddenly, a rapid ringing broke the silence of the office.
Zhang Yao grabbed the phone.
"Hey?"
"Zhang Yao, you've gotten yourself into big trouble!" The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and angry.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yao's heart tightened.
"The Zhou family is behind the Beijing Daily! You're asking for trouble, daring to mess with someone from the Zhou family!"
Zhang Yao's face instantly turned deathly pale. The Zhou family was a top-tier family in the capital; their mere presence could shake the entire city!
He never imagined that such a behemoth was standing behind Jiang Yang.
"Right now, immediately! Issue a public apology! Release a statement! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" The voice on the other end of the phone was almost a roar.
Zhang Yao's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
He is not willing!
“But… our investors aren’t pushovers either…” he tried to sway them.
"Vegetarian? Are you out of your mind! Even if we all tied ourselves together, we wouldn't be enough for the Zhou family to slap us!" The other party interrupted him mercilessly.
Zhang Yao was completely discouraged.
He lost, lost completely.
He hung up the phone helplessly and slumped into a chair.
The office door was suddenly kicked open, and the secretary rushed in in a panic.
"Manager Zhang! Something terrible has happened! The employees...the employees are all clamoring to quit!"
Zhang Yao suddenly stood up, burning with rage.
"Resign? You're going to resign over something so trivial?" He felt like he was going crazy.
"Do they even know what they're doing? A bunch of opportunists!"
He angrily threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and crushed it with his leather shoe.
The secretary explained nervously, "Mr. Zhang, everyone already had some lingering resentment about the last salary issue, and this is just a convenient excuse to bring it up..."
Enraged, Zhang Yao flung open the office door and strode over to the troublemaking employee.
"What do you all want? Don't you all want to quit?" He looked around at the crowd, his gaze icy.
Several employees who were leading the disturbance stood tall and stared at him fearlessly.
"Feirun is like a rat in the street now, who would want to stay? If General Manager Zhang doesn't raise our salaries, we'll have no choice but to resign!"
Zhang Yao was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made him even angrier.
A raise?
Where would the company get the money to raise salaries now!
He suppressed his anger and said coldly, "The company's current situation simply cannot support a salary increase! I hereby announce the dismissal of those newly recruited employees!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
The employees who were named were immediately dumbfounded.
"Why? We didn't do anything wrong!" someone shouted indignantly.
Zhang Yao sneered, "Did you really think I hired you because you're skilled? It's all to defeat Yang Xin! I'm paying you high salaries to ensure you're completely devoted to me!"
He paused, his tone growing even colder: "Now that I've lost, you're all useless to me, so get out of here!"
A group of people were devastated. They had originally planned to threaten to quit their jobs to get a raise, but instead they lost their jobs instead.
They were unwilling to be kicked out like that.
"Even if you only worked for a few days, you still have to be paid!" someone said boldly.
"Pay them their wages for the past few days!" Zhang Yao growled at his secretary, pointing at the group of troublemaking employees, veins bulging on his forehead.
The secretary nodded nervously, "Yes, Mr. Zhang."
Having received only a few days' worth of meager wages, the employees were even more dissatisfied.
"Is that all the money you have? Yang Xin even gave a month's salary to former employees!" A burly employee slammed the money on the table.
Zhang Yao sneered, "What, you think it's not enough? If you think it's not enough, then go back to work! Feirun's doors are always open to you!"
He was extremely agitated and had no desire to get entangled with this group of people.
Zhang Yao needs to calm down and think carefully about what to do next.
He turned and left, leaving a group of employees in the office looking at each other blankly.
Zhang Yao is gone?
Just leave like that?
Everyone was stunned. They had thought they could still try to salvage the situation, but Zhang Yao simply gave up.
After a moment of silence, someone whispered, "Judging from what Zhang Yao said earlier, is Yang Xin's salary really that high? They even give you a month's salary when you leave?"
"You bet! One of my buddies works at Yangxin, and he says the benefits are amazing. He's now regretting not jumping ship with him!" another employee said sourly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! To Yangxin!"
"Yes! Go to Yangxin!"
The group of people instantly perked up.
They all pulled out their pre-prepared resignation letters and slapped them in front of their secretaries.
"We're resigning! We're going to Yangxin!"
The secretary looked at the group of aggressive employees in front of her, her face turning pale. She wanted to stop them, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
In the blink of an eye, the office was empty, and he was the only one left.
He needed to report such a big matter to General Manager Zhang.
Zhang Yao returned to his office, rubbing his temples vigorously, trying to calm himself down.
How did things come to this?
Just then, the secretary rushed in in a panic.
"Mr. Zhang, something terrible has happened! They...they've all gone to Yangxin!"
"What?!" Zhang Yao suddenly stood up.
The secretary, with a mournful face, told Zhang Yao the whole story.
Zhang Yao felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his body swayed, and he fell heavily onto the chair.
His vision blurred and his ears were ringing.
Yang Xin... Jiang Yang...
These two names, like a curse, swirled in his mind.
He lost, lost completely.
A tremendous sense of powerlessness swept over me.
Zhang Yao's vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yang was busy on the other side.
"Cao Long, come here, stand here." Jiang Yang grabbed Cao Long and dragged him to the entrance of Yangxin Company.
Cao Long scratched his head, looking confused: "Brother Yang, what's going on? Are we standing at the door to greet guests?"
Jiang Yang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Welcoming guests? You'll be busy later. We'll be counting on you to register the new employees' information."
"New employees? Yang, how did you know there would be new employees? These days, recruitment is done by interviewing people one by one. How can a whole group of people just show up?" Cao Long was even more puzzled. In the current situation, it's good enough to be able to recruit anyone at all, let alone a whole group? He thought Jiang Yang was being a bit unrealistic.
