Chapter 343: Chapter 343: A Smart Woman_1
"Hahahaha..."
Yu Keqing’s words elicited a loud, skyward laugh from Qin Dongrui.
"Good! I appreciate your tenacity. However, I hope you can keep it up. Don’t come running to me if your startup fails and you end up deep in debt?"
Upon hearing that Yu Keqing intended to start her own business, Qin Dongrui had immediately agreed to her resignation.
Because he wanted to let Yu Keqing know that without his support, she wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything!
If Yu Keqing dared to start a business, he, Qin Dongrui, had the power to plunge her into debt and leave her with nowhere to turn, until she finally submitted to him obediently!
After leaving Qin Dongrui, Yu Keqing headed straight to Huanmei Group.
Although she had resigned from Qin Dongrui, she still needed to hand over her duties to Xiao Manlian. After all, Yu Keqing always saw things through from beginning to end.
President’s office.
Upon seeing Yu Keqing enter wearing casual clothes instead of a formal OL suit, Xiao Manlian’s face darkened instantly.
She glared at Yu Keqing and coldly reminded her, "The company has regulations—office attire is required. Look at what you’re wearing. Is that appropriate? Considering your dress code violation, I’m deducting your entire bonus for the month, not a cent left!"
"There’s no need to deduct my bonus, I don’t even need my salary. I came here today to tell you, I’ve already resigned from Qin Dongrui. I’m no longer an employee of Huanmei Group, you should take care of yourself!"
Yu Keqing spoke succinctly and turned to leave the room.
Xiao Manlian was stunned!
Yu Keqing had resigned? And Qin Dongrui had approved it?
Xiao Manlian was cunning but not foolish. With Yu Keqing’s resignation, the responsibility for any issues with White Cream would be hers alone to shoulder!
The formula for White Cream had been given to her by Qiao Wenshou, and Qin Dongrui surely knew there was a problem with it.
At this critical juncture, Qin Dongrui allowed Yu Keqing to resign? Could it be that he intended to shift all the blame onto her once problems with White Cream arose?
With this thought, Xiao Manlian felt a cold sweat break out on her back.
Qin Dongrui’s sudden offer to make her CEO of Huanmei Group clearly wasn’t because he thought highly of her or appreciated her—it was a trap he had set for her to fall into!
After White Cream went on sale and became a hit, the money made would surely be taken by Sanrenhe Group. When problems arose, someone would have to take the fall, and that someone would certainly be her!
What should she do?
Xiao Manlian was panicking, knowing that resigning was out of the question.
After calming herself down for a while, Xiao Manlian made a decision—she would go directly to Qiao Wenshou.
One hour later.
Qiao Wenshou was quite surprised to see Xiao Manlian enter his office.
"President Xiao, what can I do for you?" he asked with a smile.
"Qiao, Yu Keqing has resigned."
"Isn’t she just an assistant now? If she’s resigned, then she’s resigned, what’s the big deal?"
"Qiao, the formula for White Cream you gave me produces a product that, after being used, generates issues after seven days. Now that Yu Keqing has resigned, she has nothing to do with Huanmei anymore. Once this batch of White Cream is sold, and problems arise, won’t I be the one to bear all the blame? Therefore, I must resign as well!"
Xiao Manlian slapped the resignation letter she had prepared in advance on the desk.
Qiao Wenshou nodded slightly, then with a faint smile, said, "Resigning is your choice, President Xiao, and technically I shouldn’t have a say in it. But the problem lies with White Cream, not your own work. To resign just like that and no longer be the CEO of Huanmei Group, are you really willing to do that? If there is a problem with the product, why not just improve the product?"
Qiao Wenshou’s words filled Xiao Manlian with great relief, and she asked with eager anticipation, "Qiao, are you saying White Cream can be improved?"
"Yes! It can be improved! The formula I initially gave you—I hadn’t verified it, thinking it could be used directly. After the product was manufactured, I had you send me a few boxes, remember? I realized after inspecting them that White Cream did have issues. I’ve been silent because I was searching for a solution. Now, I’ve found it."
"Thank you, Qiao!"
"Are you thanking me for approving your resignation? Now that I’ve agreed to it, I will nominate someone else at the second master’s to become the CEO of Huanmei Group. I will directly inform him of the solution. As for you, you may leave now and handle your resignation procedures at the Group."
"Qiao, I’m not resigning anymore! I made a mistake!" Xiao Manlian hurriedly took back her resignation letter from the table.
"This is the first and the last time. If you ever try to use your resignation to threaten me again, your resignation won’t be retractable next time."
"I’m sorry! I won’t dare anymore, Qiao! I won’t do it again!" Xiao Manlian quickly apologized.
"Do you think I gave you the formula for White Cream to set you up? Tell me, what do you, Xiao Manlian, have that is worth my scheming against?"
