Chapter 478 - 448 I Want to Resign

"Fuck, are these all the people leaving? Can we even continue working on the construction site?"

Wei Yongxiong suddenly panicked.

In just a short while, dozens of people had walked out.

The turnover rate for construction workers isn’t high, and so many leaving at once.

Without even thinking, he knew something was very wrong.

So, he immediately yelled, "You motherfuckers stop right there, nobody leaves!"

But the workers simply ignored him and kept on leaving.

"Fuck, you really have the gall, huh!" Wei Yongxiong was instantly furious and shouted again, "Security, where the hell is security? So many people are leaving, get over here and stop them!"

As his words fell, one of his subordinates came over in a low voice, "Boss Wei, I saw a dozen or so people carrying big and small bags earlier, they were the security guards, they’ve all left."

This subordinate was quite familiar with the security guards.

Because he often had to call security to deal with some troublesome workers.

What!

Wei Yongxiong’s eyes bulged.

If even the security guards had left, wasn’t this a disaster?

He angrily said, "Damn it, call the project manager right now, so many people have left and he doesn’t even know, what’s the use of him!"

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

Soon, the call connected.

Wei Yongxiong snatched the subordinate’s phone and started cursing, "Where the fuck have you been, so many workers are leaving and you have no clue, what, you don’t care anymore? If that’s the case, get the hell out of here. There are plenty who want this job!"

The construction manager on the other end was silent, and just as Wei Yongxiong was about to start cursing again, he finally spoke, "Boss Wei, I really don’t want to work here anymore, I was just about to call you to resign."

"What!" Wei Yongxiong was shocked. Workers leaving, the project manager leaving, what the hell was going on? He sensed something was very wrong. "Think carefully. In the construction business here, I am ranked second to none. If you leave, I can make sure you won’t find a job in Jiangcheng within minutes!"

Project management doesn’t require very specialized skills, the most important part is connections.

The project manager had been in this industry for over a decade and had settled down in Jiangcheng. Not being able to find a job there would certainly be intimidating.

And with Wei Yongxiong’s influence, even if you switched careers, he could mess with you and make you lose your job.

The project manager said, "Boss Wei, I already have another job lined up."

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

After he said that, he started to realize something.

Damn it, it couldn’t be Xu Yang hiring this guy, could it?

With that thought, he immediately asked, "Was it Xu Yang who approached you?"

The project manager replied, "Yes, I have already signed a contract with Huayang Real Estate. My salary has increased by thirty percent, and there are additional clauses in the contract. Even if I leave this industry for something else, I can choose any of Xu Yang’s businesses, with a similar position and the same salary. So, Boss Wei, I am sorry, goodbye."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Wei Yongxiong stood there dumbfounded.

This, damn it, wasn’t this the tactic I was planning to use against Xu Yang?

How come my order has barely been out for long, and Xu Yang has already implemented it, even getting results?

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

It was then he discovered that the construction site, which used to bustle with working laborers, was now bustling with workers packing their things.

No matter who he asked, the response was the same: they were going to work for Xu Yang’s company. Some were heading to Huayang Real Estate, some to Lan Penghua’s real estate company, and some young people were simply changing industries altogether, going to the Jiang Bottom-fishing chain of restaurants or other businesses owned by Xu Yang.

In any case, the wages were all higher than their current ones, complete with full benefits.

This revelation shocked all the subordinates.

Xu Yang fought fire with fire, and his retaliation was faster and more ruthless.

Xu Yang had many enterprises; those young people who were unwilling to work on the construction site could still go to his other businesses.

No wonder these people couldn’t stand it.

Wei Yongxiong was notorious for paying low wages, plus the working hours were extraordinarily long, and the pay wasn’t that high.

Now things were different, with Xu Yang making a move, he directly knocked out Wei Yongxiong.

With everyone gone, the entire construction site was, effectively, paralyzed.

When Wei Yongxiong came to his senses, he couldn’t help cursing, "Damn it, that little bastard Xu Yang is really ruthless. Seems I underestimated him."

He looked at his subordinates and cursed again, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and think of something!"

At that moment, a subordinate’s phone rang.

It wasn’t just one subordinate’s phone ringing, but nearly all of the subordinates’ phones were ringing at the same time.

The few subordinates glanced at each other and then stepped aside to answer the calls.

After a few words, their expressions changed.

Seeing this, Wei Yongxiong felt so anxious he wanted to curse out loud.

Everyone was taking calls, and their expressions were all changing.

It was obvious something was up.

But he had no clue what it was, it was enough to drive a person mad!

Suddenly, he couldn’t restrain his anger and bellowed, "What the hell do you all mean by this? Someone come here and tell me what’s going on!"

At that moment, one of the subordinates hung up the phone, looked at Wei Yongxiong with a grin, and said, "Boss Wei, I’m resigning!"

"What?! Say that again?!" Wei Yongxiong was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

You should know, this subordinate was one of his trusted aides. Explore new worlds at empire

At a time of difficulty, to speak of resignation, wasn’t this betrayal?

"Boss Wei, sorry, I’m resigning."

The subordinate said, and turned to leave.

There was no talk of final wages or anything.

It was a straightforward resignation.

This was just like the workers and project managers.

If the workers and project managers left like this, he wouldn’t pay their wages.

The same applied to this leaving subordinate; he wouldn’t get paid either.

Now, even if Wei Yongxiong was dim-witted, he understood that Xu Yang was poaching his people.

Moreover, he wasn’t foolish.

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

However, even for such a loyal and devoted aide to leave after a single phone call was something he hadn’t anticipated.

It felt like all his past trust had been betrayed.

Thinking of this, a surge of rage rose in Wei Yongxiong’s heart.

He turned to his other subordinates, "You’ve been with me for so many years. You know how I’ve treated you. That son of a bitch just now is ungrateful. Someone like him, even if he stayed, I wouldn’t want him. I trust that you won’t be like him. As long as you’re with me, I will still be at the top of this industry.

I can promise you, starting today, your wages will go up by thirty percent, and later on, I can give you shares. Each of you could become billionaires!"

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

He didn’t expose them, instead raising their salaries and presenting them with grand visions of the future.

He had to retain these people, as their departure would truly spell trouble.
