Chapter 1031: After all, I still couldn't dodge this knife
Seeing Qin Feng's incredulous expression, Qin Lingling said helplessly: "Brother, it's true. By then, the value of your options will not be less than 20 million. Even if you put it in the bank and earn interest, it will be enough for your retirement."
Although Qin Feng was extremely reluctant, seeing that Qin Lingling had said so much, he could only keep silent.
"You can let me go, but I can't leave like this. You must give me an explanation for the annual meeting."
Qin Lingling and Qin Hao looked at each other and said, "Brother, just say whatever you want to say."
"I've checked. This was caused by Na Wei. If you fire Na Wei, I will agree to retire."
Qin Lingling turned to Qin Hao and said, "Why not just fire Wei? Anyway, the company is getting back on track now, and we'll have to eliminate a group of old employees next."
Qin Hao was silent for a moment. He had no relationship with Na Wei and there was no need for him to protect him to the death. Besides, Na Wei's ability did not meet his employment standards. The marketing department needed a pioneering talent, and Na Wei was suitable for maintaining the status quo.
"Then give Na Wei some compensation, cash in his options and then quit."
Qin Feng said unhappily: "Why not take this opportunity to fire him? Why bother cashing in the options? The manager-level options are also worth three million. That's not money."
Seeing that Qin Lingling was somewhat moved, Qin Hao said unhappily, "Brother, do you know what your biggest problem is?"
Qin Feng remained silent, staring at Qin Hao with his neck stiff.
"You have two problems. One is that you are short-sighted and only care about immediate benefits without considering long-term gains and losses. The other is that you always think you are extremely smart and treat others as fools."
"Yes, we can save some money by firing Na Wei in advance, but have you ever thought about what the other veterans of the company will think? The bow is put away after the bird is dead, and the dog is abandoned after the rabbit dies. The medical beauty industry is so small. What will other companies think when they see us firing the company's veterans for such a small amount of money during the Chinese New Year?"
"Three million can buy a good reputation for being kind and righteous. Why don't you do the math?"
Seeing this, Qin Lingling immediately made the decision: "Haozi is right. Three million to buy a good reputation is a good deal."
……
On the other hand, Na Wei didn't know that he was about to be fired, so he took his wife and children to his parents-in-law's hometown during the Chinese New Year.
It just so happened that my father-in-law and mother-in-law were moving into their new house, so I just celebrated my son Zixuan’s first birthday together.
To this end, Na Wei also got some inflatable balloons and other things from the company's suppliers. The scene was so grand that the entire village was alarmed.
Shen Lin's parents also felt very proud. The only pity was that their son Shen Lei was unable to return because he had to stay in Beijing to take care of his seriously ill mother-in-law.
When Na Wei's family returned to Beijing from his father-in-law and mother-in-law's hometown, it was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and there were only two days left before they officially went back to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Perhaps she was too happy to be at home, even Shen Lin forgot about the annual meeting.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when Shen Lin went to work, she found that Qin Feng did not come to work. At first, she thought that Qin Feng might have taken a leave of absence.
But when she saw in the internal mailbox that Qin Feng had voluntarily resigned due to personal health reasons and the human resources manager was promoted to administrative manager, her face was full of disbelief.
"Hey, Shen Lin, this is the best news I have heard this year." A colleague at the side said with a smile.
At this time, everyone in the administrative department's WeChat group was celebrating, which showed how unwelcome Qin Feng was in the administrative department.
"Finally, I don't have to work overtime for no reason."
"Oh, heaven and earth, which true god appeared and took that Husky away?"
Speaking of Qin Feng's resignation, the person who should be the happiest should be Shen Lin. Ever since she joined the company, Qin Feng has been constantly making trouble for her. However, before she could even smile, she saw her husband Na Wei coming out of Qin Hao's office with a dejected look on his face.
Shen Lin hesitated for a moment, then left her seat with the teacup and followed him.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Na Wei's face was full of bitterness, regret and grievance, which made Shen Lin feel distressed.
"Wife, I was fired."
Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to come back to her senses: "Is it because of the annual meeting?"
"Yes, it is said to be a prerequisite for Qin Feng to leave."
Shen Lin cursed with red eyes: "Is this Qin Feng sick? Isn't he harming others without benefiting himself?"
"Hubby, let's go and ask for mercy from Mr. Qin. You didn't do anything wrong, so why should they fire you?"
Seeing Shen Lin crying more and more sadly, Na Wei patted her back and comforted her: "Boss Qin can't do anything about this. You know Qin Feng is his elder brother after all. Boss Qin has already secured a 3 million option reward for me, which will be redeemed soon."
Upon hearing that there was a three million option bonus, Shen Lin's mood, which had originally fallen to the bottom, recovered a little. With this money, the family would not have to worry about daily expenses for a long time.
"Is there really no room for redemption?"
Na Wei shook his head with a bitter face. He originally wanted to comfort Shen Lin, but his voice was choked with sobs. He actually still had feelings for every day. He spent the best years of his life here. He originally thought that he could stay here until retirement, but in the end he did not get his wish.
Compared to Qin Feng's departure, which was celebrated by the administrative department staff almost with drums and gongs, Na Wei's departure attracted the marketing department staff to line up to see him off.
In the office, Qin Lingling saw this scene and couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong.
"Actually, it's not unfair to fire Na Wei. No matter what, he is abusing public resources for personal gain. If we don't nip this trend in the bud, there's no guarantee that others won't follow suit in the future." Qin Hao said seriously.
For a qualified manager, the most taboo thing is indecision, which is also what Qin Lingling lacks the most.
Many times, even if you make a mistake, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Otherwise, if you change your orders every day, the next time you give an order, the people under you will hesitate whether to carry it out, and the little prestige you have worked so hard to build up will collapse.
Qin Lingling's eyes gradually became firm after hearing this, and then she pulled down the curtain and said to Qin Hao: "The position of marketing manager is now vacant. Will we promote from within or recruit from outside?"
"Actually, I do have a good candidate, but I don't know if she's willing to come."
"Oh? Who?"
"My girlfriend."
Qin Lingling frowned: "Li Xiaoyue, can she do it?"
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Sister, don't be fooled by her appearance. She is the best marketing planner in Creative Engine."
"What are you waiting for? Let her come to work." Qin Lingling said impatiently after hearing this.
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "She may not be willing to come."
"Why? Creative Engine is only the second party, and Daily is the first party. If it doesn't work out, I'll give her a raise."
"Sister, do you know what Li Xiaoyue's life creed is?"
"what?"
"Life is short, enjoy life while you can. In her opinion, it's enough to have enough salary to spend. There is not much difference between a monthly salary of 20,000 and 40,000. She can't spend it all anyway."
Qin Lingling said dryly: "Why don't you talk to her first?"
"I'll give it a try. If she doesn't want to, I'll ask a headhunter to help recruit her."
Just as Qin Hao expected, when he asked Li Xiaoyue if she was willing to work as a marketing manager at Everyday, Li Xiaoyue decisively refused.
It's not that promotion and salary increase are not tempting to her at all, but mainly because she has learned about the daily salary level from Na Wei. The marketing manager only makes 30,000 yuan a month. She earns 20,000 yuan a month at Creative Engine, and she doesn't have to work overtime or take any responsibilities. But being a marketing manager is definitely not that easy.
"My sister said that if you come, she will give you double the salary."
The temptation of double salary was still there. Li Xiaoyue was silent for a full minute before gritting her teeth and refusing: "No, I have enough money to spend. Please thank Sister Ling for her kindness."
"In fact, Na Wei often doesn't work overtime every day." Qin Hao reminded.
Li Xiaoyue was conflicted again. It was not that she was not short of money, but that she did not have such a strong desire for material things. To her, clothes bought at a street stall for dozens of yuan were no different from those of big-name fashion brands as long as they were comfortable to wear. However, Hanfu, handicrafts, script-killing games, food, and traveling all cost money.
Even after being with Qin Hao, every time they went out to play, she would rush to pay part of the expenses and would not let Qin Hao bear it all.
"you promise?"
"I can't guarantee that. The key is your work efficiency."
Li Xiaoyue hesitated for almost a minute on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll go."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao made an OK gesture to Qin Lingling. Qin Lingling showed a relieved smile on her face. She didn't care that outsiders said that Everyday was a family business. In her opinion, no matter how bad the family was, they were still family. What's wrong with nepotism? If it weren't for his younger brother Qin Hao, Everyday might have gone bankrupt long ago.
……
Na Wei returned home and lay down on the sofa in a daze. Although he had a three million option contract in his hand, he felt that his life had reached a dead end and he had no idea where to go next.
The mother asked in confusion: "Nawei, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, Mom. I'm just a little tired. Don't worry about me. I just need to rest for a while." Na Wei said in a muffled voice.
Seeing this, the old lady brought him a blanket and said, "It's cold, cover yourself up, don't catch a cold."
It wasn't until Shen Lin got off work that the old lady figured out what was going on.
"Hey, it's not a big deal for me. I'm just unemployed, but I still have three million in stock options. This is not a small amount of money. It's enough for the family to spend for a long time."
Hearing the old lady's indifferent tone, Na Wei and Shen Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly at each other.
The older generation always has a fearless attitude of "at worst, I can start over again". In their view, as long as they have a place to live and food to eat, life is not bad.
But it's 2019 now. Their generation, including Yueyue Zixuan's generation in the future, can no longer meet their needs with just enough food and clothing.
Shen Lin didn't know how to refute the old lady, so she could only call Na Wei into the room.
"What are your plans now?"
Na Wei stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes: "My mind is completely blank now."
Shen Lin shook her head when she saw this: "You are just like that. You only care about your head and not your butt. I told you not to provoke Qin Feng a long time ago. Look at you now. You have lost your job."
"Then why don't I just get rid of him? I'm exchanging a department manager for a vice president, it's not a loss." Na Wei was furious when he thought of Qin Feng.
Shen Lin rolled her eyes and said, "How can you be the same as him? He is Qin Lingling's elder brother no matter what. Even if he loses his job, he will not worry about having no money. What about you? The whole family is counting on you to make money to support the family."
Na Wei wilted instantly. The biggest pain for a middle-aged man is that when he opens his eyes, he sees people who need to rely on him, but there is no one he can rely on.
"You must have met quite a few bosses in the medical beauty industry over the years. Why don't you ask them if they are hiring?" Shen Lin suggested.
Na Wei was helpless: "This is the only way for now."
The next day, Na Wei drove the child to school as usual, and then sent Shen Lin to the company.
Before getting off the car, Shen Lin reminded him, "Remember to make more phone calls when you get back. Don't be discouraged. You don't need just one or two people. Maybe if you make ten calls, someone will find someone who is in need of someone like you."
"Don't worry, your husband is so great, you won't have to worry about not finding a job." Na Weiqiang smiled.
"Well, husband, you will always be the best in my heart."
Shen Lin gave Na Wei a kiss before leaving.
When Shen Lin arrived at the company, she had just sat down for a while when she heard applause coming from the marketing department. She looked over curiously and found that Qin Hao was introducing something with a young girl.
Just as Shen Lin was puzzled, a colleague beside her lowered his voice and said.
"The marketing manager is so young, he looks to be around 26 or 27."
"That's normal. Since President Ling took over the company, she has fired many veterans. Do you think that the 20% layoff last year was the end? There will definitely be more layoffs this year, but it won't be as big as before."
Shen Lin shuddered when she heard this. She was forty years old, which meant she was older than most of the employees here. A strong sense of crisis surged in her heart.
At the same time, after Qin Hao took Li Xiaoyue to visit the company, he assigned her work tasks and did not forget to give her instructions when Li Xiaoyue left.
"From now on, you have to learn how to be a manager. Let others do the specific work, and you are only responsible for checking their results. In addition, Na Wei just left, and the employees in the marketing department may have some opinions about you. If you encounter any particularly difficult ones, just tell me and I will handle it."
Li Xiaoyue was slightly startled, then smiled at Qin Hao: "Don't worry, everyone likes me, they will like me."
"Good luck."
Li Xiaoyue came to the marketing manager's office. The label on the door had been changed to her name. Sitting in the independent office, Li Xiaoyue fiddled with the ornaments on the desk with some curiosity, and then started to turn on the computer.
After assigning the work to several team leaders in charge, Li Xiaoyue found that he seemed to have nothing to do.
"These leaders seem very busy every day. What are they busy with?" Li Xiaoyue propped up his chin and thought puzzledly.
