For one of them to start expressing their opinions, everyone else who decided to stay started to offer their services too.
Leng Jinchen’s flashed with balefulness, but there was nothing she could do.
When those who resigned saw that there were still 17 people who had not resigned and were busy expressing their loyalty to the new chairman, they were filled with regret too, especially those middle management staff who were pressured by the higher-ups.
If he had not acted so rashly earlier and stayed behind, then they could have joined the CEO’s circle of core members. Their position in middle management would have been promoted to a position in the upper management, and they would be the future core management.
Yet, they had already submitted their resignation letters.
They could only gamble now.
They could only gamble and pray that the law would not be enforceable when there were so many offenders.
They gambled on the possibility that after seeing so many executives resign, the chairman would be terrified enough to retain them.
To urge Leng Qirui to ask them to stay as soon as possible, Leng Jinchen spoke like a condescending elder, “Lil Rui, do you see now? Without me, the company will have a massive brain drain. The people at the meeting today are all senior executives and important leaders in middle management, but they have to resign because of your wrong decision.
“Of the sixty-five people who formed the pillars of this company, only seventeen are left, and they’re all staff in middle management. Don’t you think that the reason they stay behind isn’t that they agree with you, but because they want to take advantage of the situation and get a better position? Lil Rui, don’t you think that you’ve failed as the chairman? Don’t you see how pitiful you are?”
Leng Qirui smiled. “Why would I? I think the company will become better without some parasites around.”
Leng Jinchen, “…”
The 48 people who left, “…”
So, this chairman took these people for parasites?
“You’ve crossed the line!”
“Ignorant child!”
The general manager of Green City Group and Meimei Department Store snorted and blurted out their dissatisfaction.
Leng Jinchen continued, “You think that there’s nothing to worry about because only 48 people left the company? Have you ever thought that most of these 48 people are the general managers of various subsidiary companies? After they leave, do you think the employees under the subsidiary companies will continue to work for you and not go back to their direct supervisors?”
“Hehe. Aunt Leng Jinchen, I knew you’re simple-minded, but I didn’t know you’re this simple-minded. Take Green City Group as an example. Do you think that the employees of Green City Group applied for the job because they admire Leng Yuyang, the general manager of Green City Group? Aren’t you guys thinking too highly of yourselves?”
Leng Jinchen, “…”
Green City Group’s general manager, “…”
“If not for the second-tier wealthy Leng family and Leng Group, who does Leng Yuyang think he is? I’m afraid no one would recognize him even if he were to be thrown to the streets.”
With that, Leng Qirui looked at Leng Yuyang and the 48 people who had submitted their resignation letters and sneered. “What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for me to beg you to come back? You’re thinking too much. I, Leng Qirui, am a person who would rather be a jade broken than a tile intact. I’d rather die with honor than survive in disgrace. Even if Leng Group collapsed as you so gladly wished for, I’d gladly accept your resignation still. A dog that bites its master, I, Leng Qirui, would rather beat all of them to death than make them watch the door!”
Leng Qirui’s words sent a desolate thump in the hearts of all the higher-ups who resigned, and they all knew that they were in huge trouble.
However, they still had to put on a magnanimous front.
