Chapter 1222 Determination
"This is the company's decision!"

Lin Hao's words did not surprise them, after all, they had come to ask Lin Hao to step in and keep them, the old employees, on the job.

However, since Lin Hao has not yet expressed his opinion, Sun Weida felt it was better to be more tactful.
"President Lin, you've been away from the company for five years. You might not be very familiar with many of the specific details!"

"And then?" Lin Hao asked calmly.

"President Lin!" Seeing Lin Hao's nonchalant attitude, Jia Zhigao stopped Sun Weida, who was about to speak, and then said to Lin Hao:
"I'm sure this was HR's idea. You've just returned to VG, so you certainly wouldn't make things difficult for us!"

"We won't make things difficult for you either, so we certainly won't be polite to either Director Liu or Specialist Jian!"

Considering that Jane was Lin Hao's ex-wife, and not wanting to offend Lin Hao too much, she gave him a heads-up beforehand:
"However, I still want to let you know that if we cause you any trouble—I mean, just in case—we'd like to apologize in advance!"

Lin Hao wasn't stupid; he could easily recognize such an obvious threat. So he directly retorted, "So, this is a threat, is it?"

Seeing Lin Hao's strong emotions upon hearing about Jane, Sun Weida, confident he had Lin Hao under his thumb, said with a mocking tone:
"No, no, no, that's absolutely not what we meant. What we meant was that it would be better if you could talk to HR, so the situation wouldn't get so ugly!"

“We certainly have shortcomings in our work; nobody’s perfect, right?” Sun Weida then countered.
"But can their HR department say that their work is perfect? ​​But if we put it out there, it'll be very embarrassing for us!"

Lin Hao scoffed at their words, then said indifferently:

"What you're saying sounds like it's all directed at personnel, but I feel like it's directed at me!"

"But I want to make one point clear: every company, at any time, faces fierce changes and competition. Since the company is now considering restructuring its middle and senior management!"

"So I think they want to keep the more combat-ready people. Now that you've received the notice for the second round of talks, have you considered that you might no longer be suitable for this battlefield?"

"I'll emphasize again, this is the company's decision!" Lin Hao said with a cold laugh.
"Also, threats and blackmail won't work on me. Use whatever means you have, I'll take them all!"

After seeing off those four seasoned veterans, Lin Hao received a text message from Jia Kuan inviting him to meet on the rooftop. He was speechless; Jia Kuan had become addicted to going to the rooftop.

When Lin Hao reached the rooftop, Jia Kuan was leaning against the railing, staring blankly into the distance. Lin Hao went up to him and asked directly:
"What's up? Speak your mind, stop playing dumb. I'm busy!"

"I just received a notification from HR that I've been laid off!" Jia Kuan said with a heavy expression.

"I'm leaving soon, and as your brother, I've thought about it, and there are some things I need to tell you!"

"What do you mean? Are you going to leave me an inheritance?" Lin Hao joked with a smile.

"How could I possibly accept that? But don't worry, I'll take good care of your wife after you leave!"

"Do you believe I'll slap you? That lousy mouth of yours, isn't it?" Jia Kuan roared in anger.

"Let me tell you, even if I can't beat you, believe me, I can still splatter you with blood!"

After glaring at Lin Hao, Jia Kuan reluctantly pulled a portable hard drive from his pocket and handed it to Lin Hao, saying:

"This is for you, from my personal collection!"

Lin Hao stared wide-eyed and asked, "What's in there? It's not your treasured possession, is it? Didn't you say you deleted it when you got married?"

"Be serious, I'm talking to you seriously, I'm not joking around!" Jia Kuan said irritably.
"This contains my records from over ten years of working at VG. I was able to find Cheng Ye so quickly this time entirely thanks to it!"

"Work log?" Lin Hao actually knew that this was information about Jia Kuan's company network.

It was something he had collected over the past ten years, and he even had records of employees who had resigned in the past. It was indeed a valuable resource. Although it was of little use to Lin Hao, Lin Hao still appreciated Jia Kuan's thoughtfulness.

"I suppose so!" Jia Kuan said with a touch of emotion.
"Although the administration department is small, the scope of work is wide, ranging from small things like purchasing stationery and toilet paper to large things like business banquets, product launches, and overseas business trips. You can see the big picture from the small details!"

"By connecting the details, and then adding and comparing them, it's all very clear who gets along well with whom and who doesn't get along with whom!"

"Then why did you save all this stuff?" Lin Hao asked curiously, wanting to know his purpose in analyzing and organizing it.

"There are so many things that you can't see!" Jia Kuan said with a hint of smugness.

"For example, who can't go on business trips with whom, and who can't sit together at meals or meetings!"

"When we go out for team building, we can't be paired with anyone else. And when it comes to holiday benefits, we can't just look at positions; we have to rely on that!"

Lin Hao said with a serious expression, "But Kuan'er, strictly speaking, what you've got is illegal!"

"Besides, I don't think I need this stuff that much!" Lin Hao said honestly.

"Take it or leave it, if you don't want it, give it back to me!" Jia Kuan said, reaching for the external hard drive.

However, Lin Hao naturally wouldn't agree to that, and immediately took it back. Then he exclaimed, "See what I told you before? You're still useful!"

Then Lin Hao asked curiously, "But why do you insist on giving it to me?"

Jia Kuan sighed helplessly and said:
"This wasn't part of the handover process, and I don't know who to give it to, so I just gave it to you. After I leave, you can find someone to take over!"

"No, why are you making it sound like a life-or-death separation?" Lin Hao said, somewhat amused.

"Xingyao is just waiting for you to join them, and Yiming is waiting for you to start another business with him. Who are you putting on an act for?"

"By the way, speaking of which, have you decided where you're going?"

"Uh~!" Jia Kuan chuckled awkwardly, then said with a sigh:
“I gave Yiming 50,000 yuan of my savings to invest for me, and it turned out to make me 500,000 yuan. I then invested that money with Yiming!”

Lin Hao nodded. He knew about this. In the original story, Zhou Yiming gave it to him after Liu Yingxia became pregnant, but he didn't expect it to be given to him earlier.

It seems that Zhou Yiming left Sail and helped him settle this debt to avoid future debt disputes.

"So you've decided to go to Yiming's place?" Lin Hao asked.

However, Jia Kuan shook his head and said:
"I originally wanted to go to Yiming's place, but I don't know anything about investing, and I don't think I can help him. So I might as well invest money in him and let him manage it himself. I'll just be a small shareholder in peace."

"Besides, my strength lies in logistics, especially administration, and you're back at VG on important business. Going to Xingyao will also help you gather company intelligence, which can be of some assistance!" "Of course, after Xingyao and VG merge!" At this point, Jia Kuan's eyes lit up, and he excitedly continued:

"Tsk, who would have thought that I, Jia Kuan'er, would be back? It's actually quite exciting!"

Lin Hao was speechless. Human beings really do want to stage a triumphant return.

However, this is only human nature. Lin Hao also took advantage of this to re-recruit these people who had been laid off, creating competition with their former colleagues!

······
Meanwhile, Huizi found the person in charge, Chen Mingming, and told her about Zhou Yiming's refusal to invest.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Mingming nearly exploded with anger, followed by a barrage of complaints, before finally saying:
"Huizi, go talk to President Zhou again. If there are any problems with any clauses in the contract, you can bring them up. Everything is negotiable!"

However, Hui Zi shook her head and said, "Sister Mingming, I don't think there's any need to continue this conversation!"

"Huizi, I'm not trying to be mean, but Chen Mingming said aggressively:"
"Please be more discerning in your judgment. Some people are very rich and generous, and buying clothes and bags is no problem for them, but when it comes to making promises about their future, they run away faster than anyone else!"

"This kind of person just wants to play around with you; they won't actually commit to you!" Chen Mingming thought for a moment and then added:

"Here's what you'll do: talk to him one last time. If it really doesn't work out, break up with him as soon as possible. Consider it a sign that you've seen through him!"

"This~!" Hui Zi hesitated, wondering whether she should leave the company and start a business with Zhou Yiming.

Because she understood that becoming a general's wife didn't happen after he became a general, but while he was still a soldier.

Although General Zhou Yiming has "fallen from grace," the foundation for his new venture remains, his abilities are still there, and he has the support of his good brothers, so the possibility of failure is not high.

And now is the perfect opportunity to work alongside him and bridge the invisible gap between them.

"Huizi, are you stupid? The contract you signed with the troupe is clearly stated in our contract!"

"No member of our group is allowed to be in a relationship. If he can't commit to you, you can't risk your future for him!"

Hearing Chen Mingming bring up the clause in the contract that forbids dating, and hearing the implicit threat in her words, Hui Zi made up her mind.

So Huizi spoke frankly:
"Sister Mingming, Zhou Yiming is a man of his word. I was the one who stopped him from signing this contract, and I'm the one who went back on my word!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mingming was furious and, without resorting to subtle threats, directly threatened:
"Seeing you like this, I can't persuade you anymore. But Huizi, you need to know that you signed an exclusive artist contract with the group!"

"If we follow the rules, I have to cancel all your appearances and let you rest for a while!"

When Huizi heard that the other party wanted to sideline her, she went along with it and said:

"I understand, I will abide by the contract. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now!"

"Huizi, do you know?" She was about to leave when Chen Mingming added:
“Every year, many young newcomers join the troupe. When they first join, each of them has their own dream, and they will do their best for their dream, all for the sake of standing on a bigger stage and becoming the focus of attention!”

Chen Mingming tried to persuade Huizi, hoping to use their shared dreams to entice her, but Huizi remained unusually firm in her stance:
“Sister Mingming, you’re right. I also want to step onto a bigger stage and become the focus of attention for more people, but the prerequisite is through my own efforts.”

"Most importantly, I don't want to lose my love either. Now is the time when he needs me by his side. Thank you for your understanding!"

Chen Mingming was completely stunned. How much bewitching potion must she have been given to do something so unwise?

He originally wanted to threaten Huizi with the contract, but considering Zhou Yiming's status and position, dealing with their small art troupe would be as easy as crushing a grasshopper.

Thinking about it, I decided against it. It wasn't worth offending such a big boss for the sake of Huizi. As she said, countless girls flock to this industry every year, so there was no need to get entangled with her.

Let's put Huizi's contract with her first; who knows, maybe one day the other party will come to redeem her!

"Then I wish you good luck!" Chen Mingming could only offer her best wishes in the end.

"Thank you!" Huizi said as she left the office.

Afterwards, Huizi returned home and told Zhou Yiming everything about how she had been taking a break.

She also took out her own savings and proposed to work together with him to start a new business.

Zhou Yiming was naturally pleased with his child's idea and began contacting people to prepare to sell his shares.

······
Meanwhile, Lin Hao and Jia Kuan returned to the office, at which point Jiang Nan jogged over and said:

"Mr. Tao, I've finally found you!"

"What's wrong? Call me if you need anything!" Lin Hao said, taking out his phone, only to find it was out of battery.

Jiang Nan ignored these comments and quickly said:

"Sun Weida just had an argument with Commissioner Jian in the meeting room and was dragged out of the meeting room!"

"Ah, have they started?" Jia Kuan asked subconsciously.

“No, but water was spilled!” Jiang Nan replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan quickly said to Lin Hao, "Have the security office send a few more people, and I'll go to the administration department to find some strong and capable men!"

"Don't panic!" Seeing Jiang Nan's calm demeanor, Lin Hao asked her calmly, "Explain what exactly happened!"

Seeing that she hadn't scared Lin Hao, Jiang Nan honestly said:
"Sun Weida swore first, and then Commissioner Jian splashed water on Sun Weida!"

"I knew it!" Jia Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, then said in a low voice, "Jian Ai isn't one to suffer a loss!"

"President Tao!" Jiang Nan glanced at Lin Hao, then asked with a smile, "Should we go over and take a look?"

"Yes, let's go take a look!" Jia Kuan said, pulling Lin Hao away.

"No need to go!" Lin Hao didn't follow Jia Kuan, nor did he pay attention to Jiang Nan's probing. Instead, he calmly said, "Trust them that they can handle it themselves!"
