To everyone's surprise, the first to step forward was General Manager He, a veteran who joined the company earliest and was second only to Zhuo Heng. He looked ashamed and his expression was not good.
"Okay, Mr. He, please write your resignation letter first, and make sure to tell the boss your resignation request by phone. This should be done in secrecy. Until the boss says it's okay to make it public, please continue to work as usual at the company."
As soon as Xiao Xu finished speaking, another executive stood up.
"Okay, Mr. Li, please also write another report, clearly explaining the process, and then proceed according to the procedure I just described."
There are now four people left, not including Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu naturally wouldn't leave, which is why Yu Lian entrusted this matter to her.
"By the way, please don't tell anyone about this, not even family, friends, or colleagues. But I can assure everyone on behalf of the boss—the company will not go bankrupt."
Xiao Xu wrote down the names of the last four people. Everyone ate a half-hearted meal, and when someone mentioned leaving, she relayed Yu Lian's last words to everyone.
"Tomorrow, all of the company's production lines will resume operation at the Yuncheng Pharmaceutical Factory."
The words, seemingly casual, nearly made the two who had just declared they were leaving lose their footing.
"Xiao Xu, you just said it wasn't a test, so what is it?! Are you kidding me?"
Ms. Li was deeply moved. The words "the company has resumed all production lines" struck her hard. It meant that Progress Pharmaceuticals would not decline—now, with Vincent's support, it would only get better.
"Yes, it's not a test. It's just that the company's focus will shift from Hong Kong to Hong Kong, so we're giving you a chance to leave gracefully and make plans in advance. Don't panic, this matter is quite complicated. Your work will continue as usual. If you don't want to leave Hong Kong, your positions will be reassigned. But if you go to Yuncheng, your positions will remain the same, and you will still be responsible for your original work."
"That's all for today's gathering. Remember, it must be kept secret! If even a fraction of what happened today leaks out before the boss announces it, your careers will end the moment you speak out. The boss is easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean she's without cunning. Besides, Boss He..."
"We understand! No need to say anything more!"
Mr. He stood up, looking troubled. It was clear he was very angry, but he dared not show it.
Xiao Xu was used to this and knew such times would happen. She suddenly spoke again, "Good to know, Mr. He. The boss has given a very generous reward. Watch your words and image, and don't disrupt your colleagues' work."
Xiao Xu's words struck a chord with everyone. Today's dinner was like a heavy blow, leaving them no choice but to comply. After all, they relied on Yu Lian for their livelihood, and now that she wanted to take the bowl away, they had nothing to say, and Yu Lian had nothing to criticize.
Both groups had their own concerns. The company's six senior executives were all from Hong Kong, while Xiao Xu was from the neighboring Nancheng. Now, the four of them faced the choice between their future and their families.
Xiao Xu has already received the answer from the boss—none of these four will leave with him.
Sure enough, before they even got back to the company, just a brief mention from Xiao Xu on the way, three out of the four made their decisions.
Before entering the company, Xiao Xu spoke again. It was clear that General Manager He was annoyed—every time she spoke, it was never anything good.
"By the way, actually, not much of what I said earlier was true; it was all a test. The company is really going to collapse. Ruihui has blocked Mr. Vincent's technology, so the boss is preparing to dissolve the company. As you all know, if we could rely on Hejia and her husband, our company's crisis would have passed long ago. Now the boss's idea is to maximize profits before he leaves..."
"Xiao Xu, is this some kind of test again?"
Seeing that Mr. Bai was the last one to make a choice, Xiao Xu reminded him, "Mr. Bai, I don't know if this is a test or not. The boss told me to report to you like this. Now you need to make a choice."
"If you write your resignation now, you will receive very substantial compensation. However, if you fight the company to the very end, you may end up losing everything and being penniless. As one of the company's operators, you should understand the company's current financial situation."
Xiao Xu's words were a mix of truth and falsehood; they were already confused.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Xiao Xu stopped pretending.
"Alright, I just wanted to get everyone's opinions on this. Today is Friday, and I need to see everyone's choices on Monday morning. Remember, don't tell anyone."
She left quickly, stepping into the elevator before the others.
The group of people stood there looking at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Are you sure you want to go to Yuncheng?"
"I don't know. To be honest, I wouldn't be where I am today without my boss, but my family is in Hong Kong, and I don't want to leave. So I can't make a choice."
"Are you an idiot?! No matter what, if the company fails, we can't go up north. It's extremely poor, don't you know? If it were really developed there, would the boss come back to Hong Kong to open a company? I think you've been working too much and you've gone stupid."
"Exactly, you don't even see how poor it is over there. If you go to that godforsaken place, you'll regret it on your very first day."
Bai Yun fell into deep thought at her colleague's words.
Everyone in the company is on edge right now.
"Stop talking, it's lunch break now. It wouldn't be good if your subordinates bumped into you or heard anything. Even if you're leaving this company, you should still stand your ground until the very end for the sake of the money."
When Bai Yun said this, everyone thought she had come to a realization.
This situation also gave the two who had just submitted their resignations a sense of psychological balance. Although they hadn't passed the test earlier, the result they got today was the same.
"Damn it!"
Even though we're all in the same boat now, we're all holding our breath.
Mr. He couldn't help but say something loudly in front of more than a dozen employees on the first floor.
Noticing that someone was watching him, Mr. He regained his composure, gave Mr. Li a look, and the two of them turned around and went outside to smoke.
The remaining four exchanged glances and returned to their posts.
"Do you think if I call my boss now and explain, she'll listen to me? Or will she think I'm a snob and disloyal?"
"Of course it's the latter, are you still half asleep?"
"I was originally hoping to salvage my career. It's not that I'm afraid to mess with Yu Nian, it's just that her husband is far too formidable. He can reach not only Hong Kong, but the whole world. You tell me, she married such a powerful figure, and she's actually thinking of handling this herself. Do you think it's just a marriage in name only?"
The two stood by the railing, smoking and chatting, unaware that someone was secretly taking pictures of them. They even wrote down their conversation in a special notebook.
However, looking at the later part, it boils down to one sentence: the executives of Progress admitted that their boss and the family boss's marriage was only in name.
The handwriting was messy and fast, as if he couldn't wait to send out this news that could shake up the pharmaceutical industry.
