Chapter 272: Are You Resigning Too?_1
“Director Cheng, is there sothing you wanted?” Xu Yixue sat in the boss’s chair and gently asked Cheng Kai.
Cheng Kai, who appeared to be deeply troubled, was now looking down, not daring to et Xu Yixue’s gaze. He spoke in a sowhat subdued voice, “Manager Xu, I apologize, but I am afraid my abilities are limited, and I worry I cannot shoulder the responsibilities of our company. Thus, I am here to resign.”
Having said that, Cheng Kai seed to have finally let out a sigh of relief. His complexion improved slightly, but his gaze still avoided making contact with Xu Yixue.
“Resign?” Xu Yixue asked, sowhat incredulously, “Are you sure you want to resign?”
“Yes, Manager Xu, I’ve co to submit my resignation letter, you just need to sign it.” Cheng Kai took out a resignation letter he had already written from his suit pocket and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Xu Yixue.
“Cheng Kai, I just promoted you to director, not even two days ago, and now you want to resign?” Xu Yixue touched her sharp chin, her gaze piercing as she looked at Cheng Kai in front of her.
“I’m sorry, Manager Xu. The burden you’ve given is too great, and I fear my weak shoulders can’t bear it,” Cheng Kai said, his head bowed deeply, his voice faint.
“That’s not right, Director Cheng. When I just promoted you to director, you didn’t say this. You claid you would give your all for the company. How can you leave the company after only two days? Your words back then were powerful, and I thought you were a company veteran, reliable enough to take on the role of director. For you to drop your responsibilities now seems inappropriate,” Xu Yixue said sharply, staring at Cheng Kai.
“Manager Xu, I’m sorry. I have let down your trust in . I… I apologize to you.” After saying this, Cheng Kai bowed deeply to Xu Yixue and, upon standing back up, continued, “But Manager Xu, I really have no choice but to resign. I hope you can approve this, considering the eight years I’ve served the company, if not for my contributions, then for my hard work.”
“Even if you’re not up to the director’s position, you don’t have to resign. There’s no need to go to such lengths. Tell , why do you need to resign? Is there sothing you can’t talk about?” Xu Yixue asked Cheng Kai again.
“I’m sorry, Manager Xu. I have no difficulties, and Star of Zhonghai really no longer suits to stay any longer. That’s why I must leave today!” Cheng Kai’s gaze flickered with struggle but was quickly replaced by a trace of fear. Then he resolutely said to Xu Yixue.
Xu Yixue did not respond to him and sat quietly in her chair, thinking for about a minute.
At this mont, Cheng Kai was already sweating profusely.
“Bring it here; I’ll sign it,” Xu Yixue said with a slight sigh, speaking to Cheng Kai.
Upon hearing Xu Yixue’s words, Cheng Kai, as if pardoned, handed the resignation letter on the table to Xu Yixue.
Xu Yixue took the resignation letter, glanced at it to make sure there were no issues, and quickly signed her na with a pen.
“Director Cheng, I hope that after leaving Xinghai Entertainnt, you will take good care of yourself!” After signing her na, Xu Yixue slowly said to Cheng Kai, her tone carrying a hint of regret.
“Thank you, Manager Xu. I will always rember your kindness to !” Cheng Kai also said, moved.
“Pack up your personal belongings; you can leave the company today,” Xu Yixue said and pushed the resignation letter forward.
Cheng Kai took the resignation letter, bowed deeply to Xu Yixue, and then turned and left her office.
After Cheng Kai turned and left, Xu Yixue massaged her head, feeling a bit of a headache.
She had just fired Cai Xiangdong and promoted Cheng Kai two days ago, but now Cheng Kai had submitted his resignation. Xu Yixue was beginning to sense that so worrying issues were cropping up at Xinghai Entertainnt.
Moreover, with Cai Xiangdong and Cheng Kai, both having been directors, suddenly resigning, it was going to be difficult to find replacents for their positions in a short period of ti.
While Cheng Kai’s abilities might not have been outstanding, he nonetheless was a mid-level leader who had been with the company for seven or eight years and was quite familiar with the company’s business processes and personnel managent. Setting aside his competencies for the mont, promoting soone unfamiliar with these areas could not only fail to serve the intended purpose, but might even disrupt the company’s normal operations.
Xu Yixue took out a list of Xinghai Entertainnt’s employees, planning to search it carefully to see if there was anyone who could replace Cheng Kai’s position. Before she had even browsed halfway through, she heard a series of knocks at the door.
“Co in,” Xu Yixue said, looking up indifferently.
“Hello, President Xu!” A woman dressed in professional attire walked in from outside. Her na was Shen Xiaoi, and she worked under Cheng Kai in the marketing departnt.
Although Shen Xiaoi had not been at the company as long as Cheng Kai, she had also been there for a good five years. Xu Yixue had considered promoting Shen Xiaoi while she was looking through the list just monts ago.
However, since Xu Yixue had not been at the company for very long, only interacting more with a few departnt heads and less with mid-level staff, she was not very familiar with Shen Xiaoi’s abilities, quality, or personality.
“I was just about to look for you, but didn’t expect you to co by,” Xu Yixue said with a slight smile to Shen Xiaoi.
This was perfect timing for Shen Xiaoi’s arrival; Xu Yixue had thought about finding two or three more candidates and then personally assessing their basic qualities. Since Shen Xiaoi had co on her own, Xu Yixue decided to talk with her right now and indirectly figure out if Shen Xiaoi was the right fit for the marketing director position.
“President Xu, I apologize. Although I don’t know what you wanted to see about, I’m sorry, I can’t continue to work for you. I want to let you know that due to family reasons, I need to resign. I hope President Xu, considering the five years of service I’ve given to the company, will approve my resignation request,” Shen Xiaoi said, as she took out a pre-printed A4 paper, slightly bowed, and placed it on Xu Yixue’s desk.
Xu Yixue glanced at the paper from the corner of her eye, and at the top were clearly the words “Resignation Letter.”
“What? You want to resign too?” A look of shock flashed across Xu Yixue’s face.
Cheng Kai’s resignation had already perplexed Xu Yixue, especially since he had always been underachieving and had been promoted to the director position by herself.
Just when she was trying to make sense of why Cheng Kai would resign from a good director position, Shen Xiaoi appeared with her resignation letter.
A sense of crisis welled up inside Xu Yixue.
