CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 425

Shao Qiongzhi sneered, "Sorry, I’ve already found a new job, and the compensation is far better than at Jiang’s."

Jiang Weiwei chuckled teasingly, "I thought you suddenly gained confidence in speaking? So, you found a new backup? What if I offer you double the salary of that new company?"

Money can make the devil turn the millstone!

Jiang Weiwei felt that as long as she offered enough money to Shao Qiongzhi and others, she could still get them back to Jiang’s.

But she never expected that Shao Qiongzhi would still reject it.

"Miss Jiang, it seems you really don’t understand that getting a group of employees to serve a company loyally isn’t just about the salary. It also requires the boss’s appreciation and a good company atmosphere."

Jiang Weiwei took off her sunglasses and retorted angrily.

"After all, you just want to take the opportunity to ask for a raise! Alright then, if you’re willing to come back to work at Jiang’s, apart from the double salary the company offers you, I personally will give you another double salary each month. That should suffice, right?"

In her eyes, people like Shao Qiongzhi are mere insignificant ants, slaving away daily just for a bit of living expenses.

These kinds of people, if you just offer them a bit more money to satisfy their hearts, would kneel and lick your boots.

However, hearing the offer of quadruple salary, Shao Qiongzhi just chuckled disdainfully.

"Miss Jiang, it’s true that we ants weren’t born with a golden spoon like you, and yes, we are indeed short on money. But we also have our dignity! We won’t just for some dirty money, send ourselves back in front of you to be trampled upon."

Jiang Weiwei was about to say something, but Shao Qiongzhi didn’t give her the chance to speak, and continued.

"In the past, even though the salary at Jiang’s wasn’t as good as others, the work atmosphere was still decent, so we were willing to dedicate ourselves to Jiang’s. But since you took over, it’s been nothing but constant comparison and squeezing, creating a toxic work atmosphere. At this rate, Jiang’s is certainly doomed!"

"Miss Jiang, you better go back and study a few more years, wait until you understand how a company should be managed and learn to respect your own employees, before you start working again."

Shao Qiongzhi spoke her mind, leaving Jiang Weiwei criticized thoroughly.

Even Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man had never criticized her like this.

This completely infuriated Jiang Weiwei, and she simply pulled out the company’s confidentiality clause, something about not being able to work in the same field for several years after leaving Jiang’s.

She also said, "Ms. Shao, now you and your colleagues have violated the agreement you initially signed, working for a similar company, Jiang’s has the right to demand a high penalty fee. But if you come back to work at Jiang’s now, I might turn a blind eye..."

But what she didn’t expect was when she threatened Shao Qiongzhi with a penalty fee higher than what she had earned over the years, Shao Qiongzhi just looked at her disdainfully.

"It seems saying you cannot manage a company is actually an overstatement. Claiming yourself as a top graduate from First University, you can barely recognize all the characters! My other colleagues and I signed our labor contracts with Jiang’s several years ago, there was no confidentiality clause at the time, not to mention any high penalty fee."

Shao Qiongzhi glanced coldly at Jiang Weiwei, looking as disdainful as one could be.

"Before accusing others, you didn’t even do your homework thoroughly. With this attitude, Jiang’s won’t last more than a couple of years under you!"

With that, Shao Qiongzhi slammed the door shut.

"What are you talking about! I genuinely got into First University by myself!"

Jiang Weiwei shouted as she rushed towards Shao Qiongzhi to argue, almost getting her nose smashed by the quickly closing door.

Jiang Weiwei still discontentedly banged on the door, "Shao Qiongzhi, come out! Whatever it is, let’s discuss it face-to-face!"

But Shao Qiongzhi didn’t even respond to her.

Jiang Weiwei was breathing heavily in anger, but now was not the time to be discouraged.

She must fix this loophole before Jiang Tairan finds out about it.

So, Jiang Weiwei immediately called the HR manager and scolded him fiercely.

"Why didn’t you tell me that Shao Qiongzhi’s contract was just a continuation of one from years ago? Are you trying to deceive your superior? Is that your work attitude?"

The HR manager retorted on the spot: "Miss Jiang, you only asked me for a template of the labor contract, you didn’t specify that you needed the one previously used by Shao Qiongzhi."

This was clearly Jiang Weiwei’s own lack of diligence in her work, yet she blamed others?

Knowing she was wrong but pressed for time to get others back to work at the company, Jiang Weiwei had to stop making excuses.

"Fine, fine, just send me the addresses of Wang He and the others."

The HR manager, not wanting to argue with someone like Jiang Weiwei, directly sent her the addresses of the others.

Jiang Weiwei couldn’t afford to delay and hurried to find the others.

But like Shao Qiongzhi, Wang He and others were hurt by Jiang Weiwei’s previous "ant remarks" and all of them refused the high salary offer to return to Jiang’s.

After being rejected by these people, Jiang Weiwei didn’t dare to go back to the company directly, fearing that Jiang Guosheng would severely reprimand her.

With no other choice, she went to the job market and asked around.

But the person in charge at the job market told Jiang Weiwei, "Engineers of this caliber are grandmasters in the industry, fiercely contested by various companies. Generally, even if they are in position, countless companies of the same type would offer them roles, and many headhunter firms lock onto their tracks. They hardly need to come to the job market to find work."

"Are there any engineers of slightly lower level?" Jiang Weiwei asked.

"There are some with one or two years of experience, but they just came out of university, their ability to handle pressure is not that great, and they also lack seasoned experience."

Jiang Weiwei thought, aren’t these engineers similar to those young people she personally recruited to the project?

They only know how to flatter her, and just half an hour of overtime has them all crying exasperatedly, their search engine records full of: "Is working 8 and a half hours a day illegal?" "How to slack at work without being scolded by boss?"...

Thinking of those people, Jiang Weiwei felt extremely terrible.

However, she still had no choice but to pick a few people from the job market to report back to Jiang Guosheng.

Jiang Guosheng had been waiting and finally saw Jiang Weiwei return, but seeing the employees she brought were not Shao Qiongzhi and her group, he flew into a great rage again.

But Jiang Weiwei only cried out: "Ms. Shao and her colleagues had collectively changed jobs, they had already found new positions before leaving the company. It was just a pretext to leave the company. I almost kneeled to them, but none of them would agree to come back to work, what can I do?"

After Jiang Guosheng scolded her again, he could only secretly contact headhunter firms to recruit other experienced engineers for high salaries.

As for the current loophole, he had to personally lead those young people, staying up for two or three nights to resolve the issue.

But what Jiang Guosheng didn’t expect was that just as he patched up the problem here, the issue was exposed to Jiang Tairan by Jiang Fengmian, the son from the second household.

Jiang Tairan flew into a rage and immediately called Jiang Weiwei and Jiang Guosheng back to the old residence!
