CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 422

Jiang Tairan had yet to realize that he had been set up, and upon learning that Q30 had just been shipped to Xiya and sold out immediately, he was elated, his face glowing with excitement.

"It appears that Jiang’s automobiles will soon dominate the market. Even faster than Emperor Bow Group."

However, Jiang Guosheng had some doubts: "Dad, it was Shen Xing who informed us about the car shortage in Xiya. We’ve sold our cars there before Emperor Bow Group, could this cause their displeasure?"

"So what if they are displeased? It was he who told me, to grow a company, one must know how to seize opportunities. Now I am merely grabbing the chance that belongs to Jiang Family!"

Jiang Tairan would naturally not let go of the benefits that were within his reach.

"I’m just worried that Shen Xing might hinder us in future collaborations."

"Shen Xing wouldn’t have reached that position if he were so narrow-minded. Besides, if he was worried about the Xiya car market being taken over, he wouldn’t have informed me about the vehicle shortage in the first place."

Jiang Tairan spoke with utter certainty and even proposed: "We should resume production of Q30 immediately and at an increased pace."

Jiang Guosheng and the others also thought this decision was right, especially since their previously overstocked Q30 inventory had sold out on the very day it arrived in Xiya.

If they could increase their production speed even more, with sales like these, they would truly take off.

They estimated that it would take only two or three years for Jiang Family to surpass Fu Family and even THE ONE Group.

Just thinking about that bright future made all four family members beam with joy.

Jiang Guosheng even suggested: "Relying on distributor sales means others profit from the margins. We might as well establish our own Jiang’s automobile sales company in Xiya right now."

Jiang Dinghai and Jiang Jianzhong also found this suggestion to be good and chimed in agreement.

Thus, Jiang Tairan quickly decided to invest another sum of money to establish Jiang’s Automobile sales company in Xiya.

When the news of Jiang Family suddenly setting up an automobile sales company in Xiya reached Fu Youhan, all he said was: "The more they invest now, the quicker they’ll fall."

But the Jiang Family was unaware of this and continued to indulge in their pride.

Especially Jiang Weiwei, who had just joined Jiang’s and received adoration from countless people.

Her past admirers and fair-weather friends were all sending flowers and various expensive gifts to congratulate her.

The fanfare was immense, making her new employee celebration seem like a celebrity victory party.

Her colleagues were somewhat resentful.

After all, Jiang Weiwei was previously a blank slate with no experience, and her sudden appointment to this vehicle project had caused great dissatisfaction.

In particular, the long-serving employee Shao Qiongzhi, who had worked at Jiang’s for a formidable fifteen years since graduating from college.

She was so busy with work performance that she had no time for dating, marriage, or children; almost forty years old, she had given Jiang’s the best years of a woman’s youth.

Her contributions were also well recognized, with at least half the credit for Jiang’s Automobile Company ranking in the top ten domestically due to her efforts.

She had patiently waited for Jiang’s to secure the vehicle project and, by rights, the position to manage this special project should have been hers.

If this automotive engineer managed the project, it would surely have a brighter future.

But in the end, the company gave the management position to the parachuted Jiang Weiwei, leaving the veteran Shao Qiongzhi extremely despondent.

She suddenly wondered, after all these years of toilsome struggle at Jiang’s, what was it all for?

Indeed, as her abilities became increasingly prominent, it wasn’t that she hadn’t been approached by bigger, better platforms.

It was only her loyalty to her old employer that had made her previously reject better offers and prospects.

Seeing Jiang Weiwei join the company, Shao Qiongzhi felt her previous devotion to the Jiang’s was nothing but a joke.

She had always cherished the old connections, but who in the company ever acknowledged her contributions?

So, that very night, Shao Qiongzhi called the HR from Emperor Bow Automobile Group who had offered her a job two years ago.

The HR had always admired Shao Qiongzhi’s abilities and character, so upon receiving her call, they immediately discussed salary, benefits, and the position with her.

According to the HR from Emperor Bow Automobile Group, no one had yet been found capable of handling the special project management role for the car system project they were collaborating on with Jiang’s.

If Shao Qiongzhi was willing to join the company, the position was hers without question.

Shao Qiongzhi agreed.

The next morning, she received the offer from Emperor Bow Automobile Group.

That same morning, Shao Qiongzhi went directly to Jiang’s Automobile Company to process her resignation.

Upon hearing the news, the HR manager even specifically called Jiang Weiwei, hoping she could retain Shao Qiongzhi, an experienced veteran.

Having worked together, the HR manager was aware of the significant value Shao Qiongzhi had once created for Jiang’s Automobile.

But Jiang Weiwei was indifferent and even said in front of Shao Qiongzhi, "A woman nearing forty is spent, an old woodworm. If she wants to leave, let her go!"

Indeed, Jiang Weiwei, usual in the Jiang Family, restrained by the fact that she wasn’t a true daughter of the family, had never dared to show her arrogant nature.

But in the company, where no one else knew she wasn’t the Jiang Family’s biological daughter, she unleashed her true self and swaggered around.

Because in her eyes, these were just ants working for the Jiang Family - taking their money and therefore having to bear her capriciousness.

Especially Shao Qiongzhi: Jiang Weiwei had taken an immediate dislike to her on her first day.

Reportedly, every engineer entering the car system project was handpicked by Shao, each one at least thirty-five years old, with some even in their fifties!

Jiang Weiwei was extremely dissatisfied with colleagues mostly in their thirties and fifties; she preferred a younger atmosphere, better still dominated by males who would admire her.

But the colleagues selected by Shao made Jiang Weiwei feel the office was utterly lifeless; she already had a huge grievance against Shao.

To her surprise, she overheard those colleagues privately complaining in the pantry yesterday, claiming the company was unfair, the special project management position should have gone to Shao, and that the project might not succeed with Jiang Weiwei.

Jiang Weiwei immediately felt Shao must be inciting these old woodworms against her, planning to settle the score with Shao today.

But instead, Shao proposed resignation first.

"At her age, to shamelessly use resignation to coerce me into giving up the position, truly shameless," Jiang Weiwei dropped all pretense, speaking rudely.

Yet Shao simply smiled, "Miss Jiang, I had no intention of using resignation to coerce anyone."

"Fine, I’ll get HR to process your resignation as soon as possible so you don’t regret it!"

Jiang Weiwei said, urging HR to expedite the procedures.

But to her surprise, those old colleagues brought up by Shao herself, upon hearing the news of her impending departure, all rushed to persuade her to stay.

"Sister Shao, the department can’t do without you."

"If not for Sister Shao, our company wouldn’t have reached this scale!"

Jiang Weiwei, hearing those old employees’ pleas to Shao, felt an even greater fury burning within her.

"You can’t bear to part with your Sister Shao? Fine, you can all leave with her then!"
