Chapter 573: Collective Resignation!!

With that said, Cheng Juan smoothened out his sleeves, nodded politely at him, and directly left.

Behind him, Ming Hai patted the table and said angrily, “Cheng Juan, are you courting your own death?”

Cheng Juan didn’t look back.

…

Beijing Research Inst.i.tute.

Qin Ran’s laboratory.

Scholar Liao, Brother Ye, and the others all received the news from the Yunguang Consortium.

Scholar Liao was the oldest in the group. Although he didn’t say much, in terms of his ability to distinguish situations, he was still slightly higher than the younger Chu Heng.

“Qin Ran was about to take over as the Research Inst.i.tute’s heir because the Yunguang Consortium publicly protected her.” Scholar Liao addressed the crowd with slightly squinted eyes. “Fang Zhenbo and the others have been keeping their eyes on her for a long time. Our Plan B is something they’re jealous over. Our 301 laboratory will soon face a crisis. Everyone, take all the research materials and destroy all the data on the computers. Then leave and let me handle the rest.”

Things had taken such a sudden turn. Scholar Liao didn’t expect that Qin Ran would face another problem within a few days.

He had stayed up late to study and wasn’t in a good state of mind. However, he still gave orders calmly and methodically.

“Scholar Liao, what about you?” Nan Huiyao glanced at him.

Staring at the laboratory, Scholar Liao was silent for a moment before he suddenly said, “Has Qin Ran told you about her family?”

“I know about the Film Emperor Qin and the others.” Nan Huiyao didn’t know why Scholar Liao had suddenly changed the topic.

Scholar Liao nodded. “What about her mother?”

“I know.” Xing Kai raised his hand and scratched his head. “I heard her mention it when I was playing with Lin Siran. Her mother isn’t very good.”

Scholar Liao looked at the experimental machine. “Is her mother’s surname… Ning?”

“Scholar Liao, how did you know?” Xing Kai was surprised.

Scholar Liao suddenly nodded. “Okay, I have something to attend to first.”

Xing Kai didn’t read too much into it. He obeyed Scholar Liao’s words and copied the information to the USB flash drive before taking it away.

But he realized that Nan Huiyao and Chu Heng were motionless.

“Why aren’t you two leaving?” Taken aback, Xing Kai scratched his head.

Nan Huiyao pulled a chair, sat down, and turned the experimental equipment in her hand. “Scholar Liao, we’re a team. We can’t rely only on Ran Ran. Even without her, we will support the Research Inst.i.tute.”

Chu Heng remained silent and just sat in front of the computer, making his position clear.

Those who had been admitted into Beijing University, other than Xing Kai who had come in through the back door, didn’t have a low IQ.

Both Chu Heng and Nan Huiyao could distinguish the situation.

The worse the situation, the more they had to stabilize it.

Although their current status in the laboratory was because of Qin Ran, it didn’t mean they didn’t have strength.

Looking at the three of them, the corner of Scholar Liao’s mouth twitched, and his cold face turned a little warmer. “You guys… Okay, if you want to stay, listen to me…”

He gave them instructions in a lowered voice.

…

Qin Ran’s news had spread very quickly.

The team that the Qin family had built up with great difficulty had now hit the bottom in an instant because of the Yunguang Consortium.

“Chairman Qin, the situation isn’t looking good.” Minister Qin hurriedly found Qin Hanqiu with a doc.u.ment. “Did something happen to Miss Qin?”

Minister Qin couldn’t think of another reason why the Yunguang Consortium had made this decision and had even publicized it.

“I don’t know, either.” Qin Hanqiu held his phone and shook his head. “Xiao Cheng won’t let me tell Ran Ran about this. How’s the technical department?”

“Not good.” Minister Qin shook his head. Without the Yunguang Consortium’s joint venture, the project couldn’t go on. “From the time the news appeared, four people have already resigned. But this is good in a way. We can’t rely on Miss Qin for everything.”

The number of resignations was still increasing.

This incident dealt a very big blow to Qin Hanqiu.

“I’m going to appease the people in the company,” said Butler Xu. “This world is cold. We’ll have to make preparations for the road ahead.”

The last incident had already taught the Qin family a lesson.

At the Yunguang Consortium’s headquarters.

Old Master Yang was sitting in his office, talking to the general manager about management.

At this time.

The manager of the 28th-floor engineering department knocked on the door and came in.

The 28th floor was the core of the Yunguang Consortium, so Old Master Yang naturally knew the manager. He stopped talking and looked at the manager with a smile. “What’s the matter?”

“Chairman Yang, I’m here to submit my letter of resignation. The handover has been arranged by my a.s.sistant.” He reached out and placed the letter in front of Old Master Yang.

“Why the sudden resignation?” Old Master Yang was confused.

The 28th-floor manager bowed. “Because of personal reasons.”

As he spoke, he looked down at his watch. It was almost time for the next interview. He bid farewell to Old Master Yang and left directly.

Old Master Yang stared at the resignation letter in his hand and frowned slightly. He opened it to see an official resignation letter.

Putting it down, he picked up his phone and was about to call the personnel department to ask about it.

But his phone rang before he touched it.

It was the manager of the HR department. The person on the other end sounded quite alarmed. “Chairman Yang, seven managers on the 28th floor IT department have resigned!”

“Seven of them?” Old Master Yang stood up directly and frowned. “What happened? What are you doing? Go and check it out!”

There were only 12 master-level engineers in the Yunguang Consortium’s IT department. With only 7 left, how could the department continue?

He hung up with a slam and stood up with serious eyes. He then went to the 28th floor.

As soon as he got up, someone came in. Lu Zhixin held a paper box in one hand and a letter in the other.

Old Master Yang silently glanced at the resignation letter in his hand and pursed his lips. “Why? You did this to the IT department?”

“What do you mean?” Lu Zhixin frowned.

“Seven managers in the IT department have resigned collectively!” Old Master Yang said sharply. Including the head, Lu Zhixin, eight of them had resigned!

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixin looked up. Although he had just learned the news, he didn’t look surprised. “I see.”

He placed the resignation letter on Old Master Yang’s desk.

Then, he turned to look lightly at him. “Did you really think that the Yunguang Consortium’s IT department got its reputation because of the Yunguang Consortium?”

“What?” Elder Yang paused.

Lu Zhixin lowered his eyes and said lightly, “Sorry, but I forgot to tell you yesterday. The elite members of the IT department are basically all fans of Poppy and came to the Yunguang Consortium because of her. Now that you’ve driven their idol out, do you really think they’ll stay and sell their souls to you?”
