Xue Yi’s matter was settled just like that.
Many people who received the notice below couldn’t quite believe it.
At lunchti, a bunch of people gathered outside the restaurant, whispering among themselves.
"Did you hear? Xue Yi has successfully climbed the ranks!"
"Climbed the ranks? Haven’t Feng Long and his daughter Feng Hong both fallen from grace? How could he still climb up? He didn’t get thrown in, did he?"
"Were you slacking off this morning? Didn’t you see the new notice?"
"Wasn’t I consoling Tina this morning? She’s been with the company for seven years, and they laid her off just like that..."
Xiao Li, the one talking to her, had a suddenly enlightened look and said softly, "No wonder! This notice first ca to our departnt. The company plans to set up an employee assistance departnt specifically to help those employees who are in difficult situations."
Xiao Zhang seed to hear a joke: "Does Xingyue have a screw loose? Laying off people on one hand and taking care of employees on the other? And employees in difficult situations? It’s like at a university, grading who’s a specially needy student."
Xiao Li shook his head seriously: "That’s what I thought. Even within big corporations, only HR departnts would set up those pointless employee care positions. What’s a company for? A company is for making money! This move, who knows, people might think the company wants to do charity."
Xiao Zhang pondered for a mont: "What does that have to do with Xue Yi then?"
"You don’t know?" Xiao Li looked around to make sure no one from the company was nearby before speaking mysteriously, "Who doesn’t know about the drag in Xue Yi’s family? Weren’t Feng Hong and her father using that to control Xue Yi? Now the company is setting up this departnt, surely not every person with a house or car loan is in difficulty, right? I bet! This departnt is built just for Xue Yi."
"For him? An artist? And not a very popular one at that?" Xiao Zhang exclaid in surprise, "Did he maybe catch wind of sothing early on—"
Xiao Li signaled her to lower her voice: "Don’t say I didn’t tell you, Xue Yi must have snitched on Feng Long and his daughter, winning the favor of the new boss! In the future... stay away from such a deep and calculating person!"
"Ah? Xue Yi whistleblowing?"
"Are you dumb?" Xiao Li nudged her with her elbow, her voice getting lower and lower, "A new official does three things when he takes office, and the first to be targeted are the major shareholder executives. Director Feng was a figure in the shareholders who called the shots. If you secure him, you’ve basically secured the entire board!
Yesterday, as soon as the new boss arrived, he called for Advanced inspection without delay and got them all sent in! Would you normally imagine such a thing happening? Moreover, if the new boss hadn’t really caught a fatal weakness of Director Feng’s, would he dare to make his move?"
Xiao Zhang thought about it: "All bark and no bite, that’s not possible, huh!" She suddenly realized, "You an, Xue Yi was by Director Feng and his daughter for years, knew so inside information, and sold it to the new boss that—"
"Shh, lower your voice." Xiao Li pressed her hand, "It’s enough that we understand. From now on, we must absolutely steer clear of Xue Yi. If he notices sothing and reports it up the chain—we’d be in the know!"
"Oh, oh!" Xiao Zhang nodded knowingly.
By the afternoon work hours, a few more colleagues were called out by the leaders for talks.
Xiao Zhang sighed, wondering when it would be her turn to live in fear and trepidation.
The Public Relations Departnt sent over a docunt: "Xiao Zhang, can you print this out for ? I need it urgently."
"Of course, Sister Dan." Xiao Zhang took it and saw that it was Xue Yi’s new endorsent poster.
What the hell...
In her mind, Xiao Zhang was shaken. Had Xiao Li actually been right? Had Xue Yi really cozied up to the new boss and suddenly risen high in the ranks?
