CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 424

Jiang Guosheng was somewhat surprised: "Why did she resign?"

After graduating from college, Shao Qiongzhi had been working at Jiang’s Automobile all along.

One could say that she was the oldest employee of Jiang’s Automobile Company and also the most knowledgeable about Jiang’s Automobile.

She and Jiang’s Automobile complemented each other, creating what Jiang’s Automobile is today.

Thus, Jiang Guosheng personally valued Shao Qiongzhi very much!

Originally, this special management position was also intended for Shao Qiongzhi by Jiang Guosheng.

But Jiang Weiwei was, after all, his daughter that Jiang Guosheng had raised, and he was somewhat biased towards her, planning to promote Shao Qiongzhi later as compensation.

However, he didn’t expect that Shao Qiongzhi would resign in such a short time.

"She wanted to resign herself; there was nothing I could do."

Jiang Weiwei realized she had messed things up and just wanted to push the matter further away.

But Jiang Guosheng asked her again: "Then the resignation procedures shouldn’t have been completed yet, right? Have the HR department call her immediately, tell her to come back to work right away. Salary and position can all be negotiable."

Jiang Weiwei swallowed her saliva and said, "The procedures were completed long ago."

"How is that possible? A normal resignation procedure takes at least a week to complete."

Jiang’s regulations are very intricate, and resigning also requires approval at multiple levels, all in an effort to minimize the loss of talent.

So why had Shao Qiongzhi’s resignation procedures been completed without his approval?

Jiang Guosheng was puzzled and had no choice but to call the HR manager.

But the HR manager told Jiang Guosheng: "Miss Jiang said to complete the resignation procedures in the shortest time possible, so I had to initiate the termination process."

Compared to the resignation process, the termination process is much simpler and can be done within ten minutes.

Jiang Guosheng became furious, raising his voice more while scolding Jiang Weiwei.

"Do you know that Shao Qiongzhi is the person who understands our company best, and is the most experienced employee! Her leaving is an absolute loss for our company?"

Jiang Weiwei didn’t dare to utter a word, knowing well that talking back would only infuriate Jiang Guosheng further.

After berating Jiang Weiwei, Jiang Guosheng didn’t spare the HR manager either.

"She’s new and doesn’t understand what Shao Qiongzhi means to the company, don’t you understand either? And you just let her make a mess?"

If he had known that letting Jiang Weiwei take over the special management position would result in the company losing such an experienced senior engineer, Jiang Guosheng would never have agreed to let Jiang Weiwei take that position.

However, the HR manager then said: "I advised Miss Jiang, but Miss Jiang said the company should not keep old laggards..."

Just as Jiang Weiwei was about to fiercely glare at the HR manager, wanting him not to badmouth her in front of Jiang Guosheng and be wary of her settling accounts after the fall!

But before she could act, Jiang Guosheng fiercely slapped her!

Jiang Guosheng was extremely furious and did not hold back his strength.

With this slap, Jiang Weiwei was knocked down to the ground, her cheek swelling up high.

Jiang Weiwei felt extremely wronged and began sobbing.

But Jiang Guosheng ignored her crying and continued lecturing:

"Old laggard? Shao Qiongzhi possesses all the technical skills, which cannot be bought with any amount of money! Compared to her, your entry into the company, knowing nothing about cars, is the biggest pest in the company!"

However, Jiang Guosheng also knew that no matter how much he scolded Jiang Weiwei now, it wouldn’t solve the problem.

So he looked at the HR manager again: "Since Shao Qiongzhi is gone, let’s get Wang He then!"

Wang He has been with the company for thirteen years and also has great experience.

Shao Qiongzhi could solve the problems that he normally could solve as well.

But Jiang Guosheng never expected the HR manager to say: "Wang He has also resigned."

"What? When did this happen, why wasn’t I notified?"

Jiang Guosheng was almost hysterical.

In one day, the company had lost two veteran engineers, how colossal was this loss?

But soon, Jiang Guosheng noticed when he mentioned Wang He, Jiang Weiwei appeared unusually timid.

Jiang Guosheng suddenly associated it with something: "Could it be..."

The HR manager, fearing Jiang Guosheng’s wrath might fall upon him, quickly confessed.

"It was Miss Jiang who fired him. And it wasn’t just Wang He, the several veteran engineers Sister Shao had recruited into the project were all fired by Miss Jiang as well."

"What?"

Jiang Guosheng was shocked and furious, feeling like the veins in his brain were about to burst from anger.

"Those were the company’s most experienced engineers, the company’s most valuable assets! What right do you have, to fire them without my consent?"

Jiang Guosheng walked towards Jiang Weiwei, his eyes incredibly wide, like a demon ready to devour Jiang Weiwei.

Jiang Weiwei kept moving backwards, terrified, "Dad, I didn’t know they were that important. You know, I wasn’t educated in this field before..."

But Jiang Guosheng kept closing in.

"You weren’t educated in this, you could have consulted with me before doing anything, letting me guide you. I brought you into the company to learn business management. But what have you done? Do you know what the consequences would be if your grandfather knew you fired these important engineers privately?"

Jiang Weiwei shuddered violently.

Jiang Guosheng, after all, still treated her as his daughter and could tolerate her mistakes.

But Jiang Tairan was different.

He was more ruthless and profit-oriented than Jiang Guosheng.

If Jiang Tairan knew about this, he would definitely peel off her skin.

"Dad, I know I was wrong. I will go find those employees now, I will kneel down and apologize to them, asking them to come back to work at the company."

Jiang Weiwei hastily knelt in front of Jiang Guosheng, clinging to his trousers.

And Jiang Guosheng, looking at Jiang Weiwei crying her eyes out, could only sigh and say: "This is your last chance."

The damage was done, now they could only try to solve these problems before Jiang Tairan found out.

Jiang Weiwei wiped away her tears, nodding repeatedly.

Half an hour later, Jiang Weiwei arrived at Shao Qiongzhi’s apartment.

Returning home from work, Shao Qiongzhi saw Jiang Weiwei standing in front of her apartment door, still wearing black sunglasses, looking arrogant and noble.

Shao Qiongzhi ignored her and walked past her to open the door.

It was then Jiang Weiwei spoke: "Ms. Shao, I can now offer you an opportunity to return to Jiang’s and work..."

But before she could finish, Shao Qiongzhi interrupted her: "No need."

"Ms. Shao, one should quit when they’re ahead. You should know, you’re almost forty, unmarried and childless. In this state, many companies wouldn’t hire you."

Jiang Weiwei still believed that Shao Qiongzhi must have learned about today’s incident from the HR manager, which is why she was so fearless.

"Miss Jiang, indeed my age and situation are not great, and even you look down on me, so stop bothering me."

Shao Qiongzhi walked directly into her house, about to close the door.

Jiang Weiwei hurriedly reached out to stop it, speaking in a softer tone for the first time today: "If you return to work at the company, your salary will be doubled."
