Chapter 170 Moving
Chapter 170 Moving
“Boss, this isn’t about feelings! My family situation simply doesn’t allow it! My daughter…” Jiang Hai was about to tell Li An about his move when he saw the two of them like this, but Li An interrupted him again.
"Still not enough? Then I'll approve three months! A 100% raise! As for your position, you'll be a manager for a year, and I'll promote you to vice president next year! That's the highest I can go! We need to be convincing, right? If you promote someone too quickly, people will have complaints!" Li An looked at Jiang Hai, who remained unmoved, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
I used to think Jiang Hai was honest and easy to manipulate, so I didn't take him seriously. I thought he was already in his forties or fifties, so he couldn't possibly change jobs, right?
I never expected Jiang Hai to do something so big when he usually doesn't cause trouble!
"Still not enough? Six months! Six months to promote you to vice president! No shorter than that!" Li An looked at Jiang Hai's unwavering gaze and just wanted to curse inwardly!
Damn it! How much money did these rival companies pay to poach their talent?!
Apart from Ang Lee's voice, there was almost no other sound in the office. The two HR guys next to him were dumbfounded by the scene.
This? This! This!
Am I crazy, or is this world crazy?
Jiang Hai, who is usually neglected and grows freely like a small cabbage in a corner, is now being treated like this?!
Not only were they shocked, but Jiang Hai, the person involved, was also shocked! Of course, besides shock, he felt even more irony!
Before, I worked quietly and no one cared. Now that I've resigned, I'm receiving a lot of attention. The old saying is true: the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
Thinking about it, he's wasted the last ten years of his life!
If he had known it could turn out this way, he wouldn't have had to toil away in the same position for so many years. Now that he's really leaving, everything that was once out of reach has become within his grasp!
If he hadn't been accompanying his daughter to Beijing, he probably would have been tempted.
"Sigh! Mr. Li, it's not that I'm ungrateful, it's just that my daughter wants to settle down in Beijing long-term, and I definitely want to be with my family. So it's not about money or position. I've already put my resignation letter on the table. You can approve it later. I'll leave after this month. Please find someone to replace me in advance. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work now." Jiang Hai was too lazy to argue with Li An and the others anymore. No matter what he said, he wouldn't give up on resigning, so there was no point in saying more.
Seeing that even offering substantial rewards couldn't persuade Jiang Hai to stay, Ang Lee was completely at a loss!
He now only regrets how he was blinded by greed and thought that Jiang Hai was too old to be promoted. Now that Jiang Hai has no sense of belonging to the company, who can he blame?
Watching Jiang Hai's retreating figure, Li An sighed heavily, truly regretting his past actions!
"Hurry up and find someone, see if the company has anyone who can take over Jiang Hai's work. If not, just hire him." Li An instructed Director Qiu beside him, but the thought of the future salary made him wince!
After all, not everyone in the world is as honest and unassuming as Jiang Hai. Since he had already made his point, he couldn't force him to stay any longer.
The news of Jiang Hai's resignation spread incredibly fast; he had barely stepped out of his office when the downstairs lounge was already buzzing with discussion.
"Hey! Did you hear? Brother Jiang resigned!"
"What? Who told you that? That's impossible! How old is Brother Jiang? He's been working at this company for over ten years, how could he suddenly resign?"
"How would I know? But if you ask me, I should have quit long ago! It would have saved me from putting up with this humiliation!"
"Who says otherwise! Brother Jiang is really patient; if it were me, I would have quit long ago!"
"But I heard that Ang Lee tried to keep Jiang Ge by giving him money and promotions, but he still couldn't. If you ask me, he deserved it!"
"Huh? Why? Why is Brother Jiang turning down money?"
"Who knows."
"Ahem! What are you saying!" Jiang Hai saw several people from the sales department gathered together discussing his affairs as soon as he entered, and couldn't help but cough lightly to remind them to behave themselves.
"Brother Jiang, we heard you resigned? What happened?" Everyone couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering them when they saw Jiang Hai come in.
"It's nothing major, it's just that my daughter bought an apartment in Beijing and is planning to bring my husband and me to live there." Even though Jiang Hai is usually very honest, he couldn't help but show off when he mentioned this, and his tone was quite boastful.
"What?! Your daughter bought a house in Beijing?! Did I hear that right?! That's incredible!"
"Brother Jiang, if I remember correctly, your daughter is only a teenager, right? Is figure skating really that lucrative?"
"Great! Brother Jiang! You're in luck now! Your hard times are finally over!"
"Jealousy has made me unrecognizable! How awful! Why don't I have a daughter who is so cute, beautiful, and capable, and who can take care of me in my old age!"
"Brother Jiang, you're leaving soon, how about we go out for a meal? Consider it a farewell dinner!"
Everyone was from the same department, and they often chatted and talked, so they naturally knew that Jiang Chengcheng was a figure skater. While they were envious, they were also very reluctant to see Jiang Hai leave.
"Okay! My treat! Let's get together again tonight. Call me when you're in Beijing, and I'll make sure you get the best food and drinks!" Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel touched as he listened to his colleague's heartfelt blessing. Although the company boss wasn't very kind, his colleague was truly wonderful!
"No way! Brother Jiang, I'm definitely paying for the farewell dinner! Don't try to take it from me! Otherwise, how will I have the nerve to ask you for help when I go to Beijing in the future!"
"That's right! We should be treating! Don't try to take it!"
Everyone objected when they heard that Jiang Hai wanted to treat them to a meal, and quickly tried to stop him.
"Okay! You guys go ahead." Jiang Hai smiled with genuine emotion as he saw his colleagues vying with him to treat them.
.........
The holiday flew by, and the day finally arrived for Jiang Chengcheng to start school.
She made a phone call to the driver and waited at home for him to pick her up.
Cheng Juan had packed several boxes full of things, but Jiang Chengcheng thought it was too much trouble. She picked out clothes, blankets, and other items, keeping only a few spare clothes. These things could be bought again in Beijing, and keeping them would just take up space. However, Cheng Juan couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
"Chengcheng, are you not taking these clothes? They're fine, aren't they? They're not damaged, they can be worn for a long time, and the quilt is fine too." Cheng Juan pressed down on the box containing the clothes and quilt, unwilling to let go.
"Mom, I'll buy you these things when we get there. It's not like we're never coming back. We'll be staying in the old house during holidays, so we still need to have clothes and shelter, right?" Jiang Chengcheng said helplessly to her mother, Cheng Juan.
"Well... okay... you're right." Since Jiang Chengcheng didn't actually want to throw these things away, Cheng Juan wasn't so resistant anymore.
