My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Can’t Stay

Zhao Hui went to see Liu Haoran as soon as he got to the company in the morning!

Chen Xiao had arranged for him to report to Xu Wu, to hurry up and take over, and to familiarize himself with the leasing and operations business of Jiangzhou Wansheng Square!

Although it was all in the commercial sector, the operational logic for a client versus a contractor was completely different. He now wished he had more time, that he could absorb all this new knowledge in the shortest time possible.

Chen Xiao had given him such an important position and placed so much trust in him. He was on edge, as if treading on thin ice, terrified of doing a poor job and letting him down!

He was there to submit his resignation to Liu Haoran. During his time at Yino, Liu Haoran had taken great care of him!

Even though he knew it was for the sake of Chen Xiao and his sister, he was still grateful to Liu Haoran!

Hearing the news of Zhao Hui’s resignation, Liu Haoran was filled with a mix of emotions!

He didn’t even have time to feel happy about the news Zhao Hui had brought—that Huang Guangyuan from Ganglong International had agreed to the partnership agreement!

’Zhao Hui’s personal abilities aren’t particularly outstanding, but his presence is the link that keeps me in close contact with President Chen and President Zhao.’

’With Zhao Hui gone, President Chen’s attention on this side will diminish.’

But he knew that Zhao Hui was going to Jiangzhou Wansheng Square to be the Vice President of Business. This was a meteoric rise, a great opportunity. Not only was it impossible for him to stand in the way, but even if he could, there was no reason to hinder someone’s career development!

"Ah Hui, while I’m sad to see you go, I still have to congratulate you. From now on, you’ll be a big shot in Jiangzhou’s commercial world. Jiangzhou Wansheng Square is a place countless brands will be clamoring to get on the good side of!"

This wasn’t just flattery. When Liu Haoran had previously visited Jiangzhou Wansheng Square, he had been extremely polite when dealing with their business director. After all, they held a lot of resources, and you had to play nice to make a living on their turf.

Zhao Hui said, "Thank you for the kind words, President Liu. I’m just afraid I won’t do a good job!"

Liu Haoran laughed and said, "You’re overthinking it. With President Chen around, you just need to follow the procedures and do your job. There won’t be any problems. If anything comes up and you don’t feel comfortable bothering President Chen, you can always come talk to me!"

"I can help you brainstorm. Two heads are better than one, after all!"

"Also, when you’re not busy, we should get together often. I can come to your side, or you can come here. Think of this place as your own home."

Liu Haoran kept Zhao Hui in his office, and they chatted for over half an hour. At this point, they were no longer talking about work.

Liu Haoran was using this last bit of time to deepen their personal connection.

After leaving Liu Haoran’s office, Zhao Hui went to the human resources department to handle his resignation procedures.

When she learned that Zhao Hui was resigning, the HR manager’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. In the entire company, only she and Liu Haoran knew that Zhao Hui’s compensation package was on par with a full department head.

Besides, Liu Haoran took such good care of him; his career at the company was going smoothly. She couldn’t understand why he would suddenly resign.

According to the resignation procedure, the HR department was required to conduct an exit interview with the departing employee, but the HR manager knew that Zhao Hui had gotten in through his connection with Liu Haoran.

So she didn’t schedule a separate meeting with him, simply asking, "Manager Zhao, isn’t this a bit hasty? Would you like to reconsider?"

Zhao Hui smiled and said, "It’s already decided, and I’ve reported it to President Liu. Please just help me with the process!"

The HR manager didn’t press him further and had a specialist below her help Zhao Hui process the resignation form.

Just then, Fang Qiang came to see the HR manager about something. Fang Qiang was not the type to wait in line, so even though Zhao Hui was there, he still strode over arrogantly!

He was there to ask about his department’s staffing for the year. He didn’t like Zhao Hui and didn’t want him in his department!

But seeing as Liu Haoran always brought Zhao Hui along to negotiate project collaborations, his entry into the expansion department seemed inevitable. So, Fang Qiang wanted to find out in advance if the department was fully staffed, or if there were any open positions at any level.

’That way, I can report to Liu Haoran beforehand and see if I can use "full staffing" as a reason to block Zhao Hui from joining the expansion department!’

His idea was a bit naive. If Liu Haoran really wanted to place someone in the expansion department, even without an official headcount, he could coordinate with headquarters to create one. A regional general manager could certainly pull off something like that.

As he drew near, he happened to see the resignation form on the desk. Without any hesitation, he took a close look and was surprised to see it was Zhao Hui’s.

He was also a little surprised. ’Logically, Zhao Hui is having a smooth ride at the company; it’s impossible that he’d be foolish enough to resign on his own. Something must have happened that I don’t know about!’

He judged others by his own standards. If he were Zhao Hui, he would never be resigning right now, no matter what!

’So, is it because of that incident with Jiangzhou Wansheng last time? Could it be that the company is preparing to compromise with Peng Yu?’

’Or perhaps Zhao Hui’s trip to Ganglong International to discuss contract revisions failed, and he got chewed out by President Liu?’

He couldn’t keep his thoughts to himself and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhao, couldn’t even last a few days?"

The HR manager looked at him, speechless. Fang Qiang was famous in the company for having no filter. He was arrogant and frequently offended people with his words.

’But what is he even saying? What does he mean, "couldn’t last"?’

Zhao Hui just nodded, not bothering to engage with him. ’I used to think I was disliked enough,’ he thought, ’but I’m much better than Fang Qiang. This guy probably isn’t a terrible person at heart, but that mouth of his makes you want to punch him every time he says a word.’

Watching Zhao Hui’s departing figure, he realized he no longer needed to have the HR manager check the staffing levels. After a moment’s thought, he headed to Liu Haoran’s office.

As the head of the expansion department, Fang Qiang was very close to Liu Haoran. He would wander past his office many times a day, partly to make his presence known and partly to find opportunities to suck up and get closer to the boss!

When he entered Liu Haoran’s office, he saw Liu Haoran leaning back in his executive chair, holding a teacup and lost in thought.

He quietly approached and said, "Boss!"

"Oh, Fang Qiang!" Liu Haoran nodded, still immersed in his thoughts about Zhao Hui’s resignation.

"Boss, Xiao Zhao resigned?"

Liu Haoran raised an eyebrow, then nodded.

"Sigh, in a big company like ours, it’s always hard for parachuted-in employees to survive. On one hand, it’s hard to adapt to the company culture; on the other, a lot of newcomers think they’re hot stuff, but when they actually start working, they can’t get anything right."

"Take Xiao Zhao, for example. Yesterday he was sent to Ganglong International to negotiate a contract, and just one day later, he resigns. That’s a classic case of being scared of a challenge, backing down as soon as things get tough."

"It’s a real shame, actually. If he had just trained properly... you were good to him, Boss, and if I had mentored him well, he could have been independent in a year or so. Too bad he couldn’t stick it out!"

Liu Haoran stared at him, bewildered, and after a moment, said, "Xiao Fang, what are you talking about?"

He was a bit taken aback. ’Xiao Fang? President Liu always used to call me Fang Qiang.’

"Also, this is the contract from Ganglong International. They’ve revised it completely according to our legal department’s feedback. You take it and handle the next step."

Fang Qiang was stunned!
