Farming Space Makes Me Rich Novel - Chapter 786
Chapter 786: They’ve Left
In the general manager’s Office of Guang Province’s Phoenix Farm Villa, a man in his forties with a medium build frowned as he listened to his subordinate’s report. “What did you say? Sister Hua and Wang Wu have been captured?”
His subordinate reported, “Xing An Town’s police station called and said so.”
“Xing An Town?” Director Zhang couldn’t think of that place.
The subordinate reminded him, “Taoyuan Village is at Xing An Town!”
Director Zhang’s face darkened when he heard that. His expression was a little angry as he scolded, “Useless! Why can’t they even handle such a small matter?”
The subordinate thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, “Director Zhang, what should we do now? Xing An Town’s police station called. They want us to personally go and get them.”
“Get them?” Director Zhang said angrily, “They can’t even do something so simple. Just let them stay in prison!”
What made director Zhang even angrier was that they had exposed Phoenix Farm Villa. Once this matter was spread online, the reputation of Phoenix farm villa would be damaged. After all, they had used disgraceful methods to frame the Taoyuan Village.
The subordinate asked again, “Director Zhang, what should we do now?”
Director Zhang thought for a moment and said, “Get people to pay attention to the movements on the internet. Don’t let such information leak out. Also, if such information really does leak out, get people to block it immediately.”
…
The subordinate nodded and said, “Yes, director Zhang!”
However, in less than an hour, the subordinate rushed over and shouted anxiously, “Director Zhang, this is bad. The Internet is full of information about Phoenix farm villa hiring people to set up Taoyuan Village.”
When Zhang heard this, he said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye out and block those at any time?”
The subordinate wiped away his cold sweat and said anxiously and helplessly, “But director Zhang, our people can’t block the transmission and circulation of those messages. We can’t block them at all.”
“What are the people from the technology department doing? Are they eating shit?” Director Zhang said angrily.
His subordinate immediately explained, “Director Zhang, the people from the technology department said that there seems to be another group of people blocking their move and the other group is even better than our people.” After all, the news had spread so far and wide within just an hour.
When director Zhang heard this, his face darkened, and he scolded angrily and anxiously, “What a bunch of useless trash. They pride themselves normally, but when it comes to critical moments, they are completely useless.” Then, he ordered sternly, “You go and tell the people in the technical department that if they can’t stop this, they can go home and not come back!”
“Yes, I will do it right away!” The subordinate immediately replied.
After the subordinate left the office, director Zhang, who could not calm down, threw the things on the table to the ground with a fierce wave of his hand.
This was completely different from what he had planned. Instead, it became the opposite of what he had planned.
In his plan, the people he had sent would tarnish the reputation of the Taoyuan Village. As long as Taoyuan village’s reputation was tarnished, their business would naturally plummet. Then, the business of Phoenix Farm Villa would rise. But now, it was their reputation that was being tarnished.
In the past two to three years, due to the emergence of the Taoyuan Village, it quickly became famous throughout the country. When many tourists chose to go to a farm resort, the first place they chose was Taoyuan Village.
As the former first farm resort, Phoenix Farm Villa experienced the blow the most.
What made him especially envious was that the tourist flow in Taoyuan village was so high that it needed to be restricted, while Phoenix Farm was deserted. The jealousy grew bigger.
Therefore, as the general manager of Phoenix Farm Villa, he spent all his time thinking not about how to attract people and increase the tourist flow but how to stink up his competitors. He thought about it for a few months and finally decided to make trouble on the first day of the New Year.
Who would have thought that the people he hired were so useless?
Director Zhang, who was thinking about something, was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Director Zhang saw that it was this subordinate again and immediately asked angrily, “What’s going on?”
The subordinate said with difficulty, “Director Zhang, those people in the technical department, they… they…”
“What happened to them?” Director Zhang frowned fiercely, but he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
“They abandoned their responsibilities and left right away!” The subordinate did not expect this kind of situation. It was very difficult to find a job in this market, but these people left with ease. He tried to persuade them to stay, but it was pointless. Therefore, he ran back to report to Director Zhang.
Director Zhang immediately said angrily, “Are they crazy?”
His subordinate lowered his head and didn’t say anything.
“Let’s go. I want to see what they want to do. Are they really rebelling?” After saying that, he left with an angry expression.
His subordinate immediately followed.
When they reached the technology department, they saw that the people there were packing their things.
Director Zhang said angrily, “What are you doing? Are you really leaving? Manager Zheng, what is the meaning of this?” Director Zhang pointed directly at the person in charge of the technology department.
Manager Zheng spread his hands and said very calmly, “Director Zhang, as you can see, we don’t plan to work here anymore. We’re going to leave!”
Director Zhang’s face instantly turned ashen. “Leave? You guys don’t want your latest monthly salary anymore?”
The company would detain the worker’s one-month salary in advance. This was considered normal in the industry. This was to prevent the employees from leaving without saying anything. That would cause a huge loss to the company. With a month’s salary detained, the employees had to submit a resignation application to the company before they left.
After the application was approved, they could leave. After that, their salary would be transferred into the card as usual.
For the company, they had this one month to find a replacement, so even if they had to lose money, it wouldn’t be much.
But now, the entire department was leaving just like that, which made Director Zhang very angry.
After they left, who would be the one to solve the problems in the technology department? If their computer systems were hacked and the company’s secrets were stolen, the losses would be unimaginable.
However, these people’s salary was held back for a month. If they just walked out, they wouldn’t get that salary. If they wanted to get that salary, they had to stay to work for one more month.
In this one month, Director Zhang believed he could find replacements.
Unexpectedly, manager Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, “Then the salary is just two to three thousand. It’s not much.” They were all technicians. They worked part-time too. In fact, the part-time salary was much higher than this official job.
As for why they chose to work here in the past, the environment here was elegant, and no one disturbed them. But now the situation changed.
When Director Zhang heard that they didn’t care about the salary, he was shocked. At the same time, he seemed to be a little flustered.
He offered a monthly salary of two to three thousand only because he thought that the people in the technical department were unimportant. They only occasionally repaired the surveillance videos and the computers. Normally, the company didn’t need them at all.
He even thought that two to three thousand a month was already very high.
But at this moment, he really needed these technical staff.
Director Zhang secretly took a breath and then asked, “Why are you leaving? Is it about the low salary? How about this, as long as you solve this matter, I’ll give you all a raise, is that okay?”
Another employee’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, “Then, director Zhang, tell us, how much will you increase our salary?”
Director Zhang Glanced at that employee, and his eyes revealed some displeasure. He said, “We’ll discuss it after we resolve the current emergency situation first. How about it?”
That employee immediately revealed a disappointed look. “Oh, so director Zhang hasn’t thought it through.” Then, he asked with a doubtful look, “Director Zhang, you’re not thinking of denying the salary increase after this matter is resolved, right? Or perhaps, you’ll hire replacements for us after we help you resolve this issue. It’s not like you haven’t done something like this before.”
Director Zhang immediately said angrily to him, “Who are you to question my words?” He was really infuriated as his authority had been challenged.
That employee shrugged his shoulders but was not intimidated by director Zhang’s authority. Instead, he smiled and said, “Director Zhang, I was just joking with you. Why are you so angry?”
When director Zhang heard that, he became even angrier. He said to his subordinate, “Kick this person out. He’s too presumptuous.”
At this moment, manager Zheng said calmly, “Director Zhang, you don’t have to kick him out. We are preparing to leave with him. Also, this matter is not about salary. We can’t help the company with this matter, so we decide to leave because we’re guilty.”
Director Zhang, “…” That is clearly not true.
Director Zhang’s face turned ashen. In the end, he had no choice but to lower his head and say, “Manager Zheng, how about this? You guys settle this first, and I’ll send your salary. Then, you can choose whether you want to leave or stay.”
The man still didn’t grasp the issue.
Manager Zheng’s expression immediately became very serious as he said, “I’m sorry, Director Zhang. I really didn’t lie to you. Regarding this matter, we really can’t do anything about it. Please find someone else. We also don’t plan on taking that two to three thousand from you anyway.”
After saying that, manager Zheng’s entire department picked up their things and left.
Director Zhang was so angry that he kicked the table.
“Director Zhang, it’s bad…” another subordinate shouted as he ran.
Director Zhang’s face darkened, and he shouted angrily, “What’s wrong now?”
The subordinate reported, “Director Zhang, all the shareholders saw the news on the internet and requested a shareholders’ meeting.”
Director Zhang’s heart sank!
