Chapter 448: I Want to Resign

"Fuck, these are all people leaving? Then can my construction site even start work?"

Wei Yongxiong instantly panicked.

The comings and goings, in just a short while, saw dozens leave.

The mobility of construction workers isn’t high, and so many leaving at once.

Without thinking, he knew something was very wrong.

So, he immediately yelled out, "You motherfuckers, stop right there, nobody’s allowed to leave!"

But the workers didn’t listen to him at all, those who were leaving, kept leaving.

"Fuck, you really fucking rebelled, haven’t you!" Wei Yongxiong flew into a rage and shouted again, "Security, where the hell are the security guards, so many people have left, and still not coming over to stop them!"

No sooner had his words fallen, a subordinate came over and whispered, "Mr. Wei, just now I saw over a dozen people carrying big and small bags were security guards, they’ve all left."

This subordinate was quite familiar with the security staff.

Because he often called security to teach the more troublesome workers a lesson.

What!

Wei Yongxiong’s eyes widened.

Continue your journey with empire

All security gone, wasn’t this asking for trouble?

He angrily said, "Damn it, call the project manager immediately, so many people have left, and he doesn’t even know, what use is he to me!"

The subordinate immediately took out his phone and dialed the project manager’s number.

Soon, the call connected.

Wei Yongxiong snatched the subordinate’s phone, raised his voice, and cursed, "Where the fuck have you been, so many workers are leaving, and you don’t even know, have you stopped giving a shit, if you have, then get the hell out of here, there are plenty who want to work!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was silent until just as Wei Yongxiong was about to curse again, it finally spoke up, "Mr. Wei, I really don’t want to work here anymore, was just about to call you to resign."

"What!" Wei Yongxiong was shocked, workers leaving, project manager leaving, what on earth was happening, he had a bad feeling, "Think carefully, I’m second to none in construction, no one dares claim to be the first, if you leave, I can make sure you won’t find work in Jiangcheng within minutes!"

The job of a project manager wasn’t highly specialized; the most critical thing was connections.

The project manager had been in the field for over a decade and settled in Jiangcheng. It would be quite threatening if he couldn’t find work there.

And with Wei Yongxiong’s clout, even if you changed careers, Wei Yongxiong could still mess with you and make you lose your job.

The project manager said, "Mr. Wei Yongxiong, I’ve already got another job offer."

Wei Yongxiong couldn’t help but say, "So what, I can still have the company that hires you fire you!"

After he finished, he began to realize something.

It couldn’t be that Xu Yang had hired this guy.

With this, he immediately asked, "Did Xu Yang find you?"

The project manager said, "Yes, I’ve already signed a contract with Huayang Real Estate. My salary will increase by thirty percent, and there are bonus clauses in the contract too, even if I don’t work in this industry and want to change careers, I can pick any position I like at Xu Yang’s enterprises, with a similar post and the same salary, so, sorry Mr. Wei, goodbye."

After saying that, he hung up.

Wei Yongxiong stood there stunned.

This motherfucker, wasn’t this the very tactic he wanted to use against Xu Yang?

How could it be that scarcely had he given the order, Xu Yang had already implemented it, and to such effect?

Seeing Wei Yongxiong in a daze, the subordinate couldn’t help but go into the construction site to take a look.

Only to discover that instead of the usual bustling construction work, workers were now bustling about packing up their belongings.

No matter who you asked, they’d say they were going to work for Xu Yang’s company, some were going to Huayang Real Estate, others to Lan Penghua’s real estate firm; some of the younger ones had even changed lines altogether, going over to work for Jiang Dilo or another of Xu Yang’s enterprises.

In any case, the wages were all higher than what they were getting now, plus there were plenty of benefits.

At this point, all the subordinates were shocked.

Xu Yang treated others in their own way and struck faster and harder.

Xu Yang’s businesses were numerous, and for those young people who were unwilling to work on the construction site, there were other companies they could go to.

No wonder these people couldn’t stand it.

Wei Yongxiong was notorious for offering low wages, and on top of that, the work hours were particularly long, and the pay wasn’t very good.

Now, Xu Yang made his move and directly crushed Wei Yongxiong.

With everyone gone, the construction site was now completely paralyzed.

When Wei Yongxiong came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it, Xu Yang is really ruthless. It seems I’ve underestimated him."

He turned to his subordinates and cursed again, "What are you standing there for, think of something quick!"

At that moment, a subordinate’s phone rang.

It wasn’t just one subordinate’s phone that was ringing, almost all of the subordinates’ phones started ringing at the same time.

They exchanged looks, then stepped aside to answer their calls.

After a few words, their expressions changed.

Seeing this, Wei Yongxiong felt an urge to swear at his mother.

Damn it, everyone was on the phone, and their expressions were changing one after the other.

It was clear that something was going on.

But he had no idea what it was, and it was driving him to desperation!

Suddenly, he couldn’t contain his anger and shouted, "What the hell do you all mean, someone come and tell me what’s going on right now!"

At this moment, a subordinate hung up his phone, looked at Wei Yongxiong with a grin, and said, "Boss Wei, I’m sorry, but I’m resigning."

"What?! Say that again?!" Wei Yongxiong was stunned, thinking he must have heard wrong.

This subordinate was one of his trusted confidants.

At such a difficult time, to talk of resignation, wasn’t that like kicking someone while they were down?

"Boss Wei, I’m really sorry, I’m resigning."

Having said that, the subordinate turned around and left.

He didn’t even talk about finalizing his wages or anything.

This was a clear-cut resignation.

It was the same with the workers and project managers.

If a worker or project manager left like this, he wouldn’t have to settle their wages.

The same applied to a subordinate leaving in this manner; there was no way he would settle their wages either.

Even if Wei Yongxiong was slow to catch on, he now understood that Xu Yang was poaching his employees.

Besides, he wasn’t dumb.

If he were, he wouldn’t have achieved what he had.

Yet, for such a loyal subordinate to just leave after one phone call was somewhat unexpected.

He felt as if all the trust he had placed in them before was betrayed.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose within Wei Yongxiong.

He turned to his other subordinates, "You’ve been with me for years, and you know very well how I’ve treated you. That bastard just now is a thankless wretch. Even if he stayed, I wouldn’t want him. I trust that you won’t be like him. With you here, I’ll still be number one in this industry.

I can promise you that, starting today, your salaries will increase by thirty percent, and in the future, I could even offer you shares. Then each one of you could become billionaires!"

He had guessed that the calls these people received were likely from Xu Yang’s side, trying to lure them with higher salaries.

He didn’t point this out directly but instead raised their salary and painted them a big picture.

These people needed to be retained at all costs; if they left, there would be real trouble.
