The Hope You Gave Me: 55-Dawn and Twilight Sports

After the acquisition agreement was reached, Yuanlai and Bai'an formally notified all employees through meetings and emails respectively. In order to appease everyone's emotions and eliminate misunderstandings and concerns, Cai Bingjie, He Haixiang and the receivers at Guanchao communicated with employees through internal forums, mailboxes, Q&A, one-on-one conversations, etc., and introduced Guanchao International's corporate culture and benefits. Changes in treatment, office environment, and commitment to company ownership will not affect the continued performance of the labor contract, so everyone can rest assured.

As anyone with experience knows, these are just words.

Bai'an employees greeted the turmoil with unease.

The most anxious one is the Administration Department, which feels like it has been sentenced to death. Guanchao itself has a strong administrative, sales and scientific research team. After the reorganization, the administrative department seems redundant and will become the first echelon of layoffs.

The R&D team as the core strength is also not safe, because Bai'an and Guanchao have many repeated or similar scientific research projects, and the technicians are faced with the selection of the rough and the best.

Min Hui was determined to leave, the only thing she was reluctant to give up was the team she had worked with for many years. Before submitting her resignation letter, she specifically found Cao Mu and asked her to take care of her five subordinates.

"I will try my best to protect them." Cao Mu sighed, "But I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and I can't protect myself."

"Dongyang's wife has just become pregnant, and he needs a stable income during this period." Min Hui said with a heavy heart, "Jiang Heng and Qingyuan both bought houses last year, and the wife's income is not high, and the mortgage is not enough. They are mainly responsible. Xiaohan's younger brother suffered serious burns due to a fire at the beginning of the year. His family does not have medical insurance in the countryside, and he is the eldest in the family. He takes care of the treatment. Tang Xinning, I am not afraid that she will not find a job. , is this girl's soft temper that is negotiable, I'm afraid she will be bullied by other companies...Sister Cao, did Guanchao talk to you?"

"The specific personnel arrangement has not been announced yet, so I don't know which game Cheng Qirang is playing. He talked to me once and asked me to be the deputy director of the sales department. I proposed to stay in the R&D department, he said. The R&D department is now in charge of Ding Yifeng. I used to be his boss, but now I am his deputy, which is not suitable."

"He is considerate." Min Hui sarcastically said. At that time, Cao Mu made the decision to drive away Ding Yifeng, but now he has really become his deputy.

"Do you know what position He Haixiang is?" Cao Mu suddenly said.

"What position can he have? He is not a major technical person, and the management concept is so backward. I still understand the tide, and the overall atmosphere is incompatible with the bureaucratic style. , I don't think he will be fired if he wants to pay a very high salary and can't do much work."

"I originally thought that was the case, but He Haixiang told me that the position that Cheng Qi gave him was VPofR&D - Vice President of R&D."

Although VPofR&D is not yet C-Level, it is higher than R&D Director and is also a very important management position. With He Haixiang's ability, he must have made some kind of "special" contribution to take an important position in the tide watch. This also confirms the speculation in everyone's heart: the reason why Guanchao can get Bai'an at a slightly higher price than the opponent is that someone disclosed the reserve price of MBO to Cheng Qirang.

"It must be he leaked the secret!" Min Hui scolded, "This shit."

"I wish I could just resign like you did." Cao Mu smiled bitterly, "But now, like you, I am a single mother and want to raise two children. Adults can save whatever they want, children are the most expensive. The compensation in the non-compete agreement is not enough for me to live."

"That's right. Fortunately, Su Quan's support fees are all covered by Xinqi. I don't even have a mortgage myself--" Min Hui smiled, "I can live in the province."

***

According to regulations, Min Hui's resignation needs to be notified to the personnel department 30 days in advance. And Bai'an will soon move into the Morning Bell Building at No. 17 Qingliu Street, which is also the location of Guanchao International Headquarters and R&D Center.

According to the staff of Guanchao, there is not much free office space in Chenzhong Building, which is why Cheng Qirang wants to buy Haitian Building. The newly built Haitian Building has 38 floors, and the Morning Bell Building has only 26 floors. Haitian Building is absolutely overwhelming in terms of design and momentum.

"Mr. Cheng specifically told me to do everything possible to keep you." He Haixiang carefully read Min Hui's resignation letter, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Any conditions, please Although it is mentioned. What's a child with a serious heart disease that needs to be taken care of at home, has no time to take care of work, etc... is all bullshit. If there is such a difficulty, it is a trivial matter, we can give you the green light, as before, let you Work from home most of the time.”

"Mr. He, I have made up my mind, don't persuade me." Min Hui shook her head, "In order not to affect everyone's work, I hope to start the handover as soon as possible, and I have prepared some documents and lists."

"You signed three agreements when you joined the company," He Haixiang took out a folder from a drawer and extracted three documents from it, "Technical Achievement Agreement, Non-Competition Agreement, and Confidentiality Agreement. According to these agreements, The technical achievements you have achieved so far, including patents, designs, copyrights, technical information, business information, trade secrets, etc., are all completed under the material and technical conditions provided by Bai'an."

"I know."

"In order to protect the company's core technology and business secrets, after leaving the company, you have a two-year non-compete period. You are obliged to report to us in writing within two weeks of finding a new job, and quarterly You must continue to report your employment situation in writing. If you fail to report on time, it is a breach of contract, and you need to pay us 500,000 yuan in liquidated damages. Of course, we will also pay you a certain amount of non-compete every month. Limit compensation."

"Understood."

“After the termination of the labor contract, within the period of competition, you cannot take a position in an employer that produces similar products, operates similar businesses, or has other competitive relationships, nor can you develop similar products that compete with your original employer, Or run the same kind of business."

"I know."

"If you violate the non-compete agreement and the company's rights are damaged - it is against the law."

"You don't need to talk so much, Mr. He. When it comes to breaking the law, when it comes to leaking secrets-" Min Hui looked at his hypocritical smile, and felt annoyed in her heart, "The price of Guanchao is only one more than ours. Million, do you think Cheng Qirang can guess so accurately?"

"Cheng Qirang is very smart, and so is his CFO."

"The smartest person, is that you?"

"Min Hui, don't rant! You must pay legal responsibility for spreading rumors!"

"If you don't want me to rant, then let me resign." She dropped these words and walked away.

***

After a distracting day, Min Hui accidentally bumps into Yin Xu while leaving get off work.

She wanted to take a walk home, so she stopped by the mall to buy a pair of shoes for Su Quan. She walked alone on the road for five minutes when she heard a "di" sound and a white van pulled up slowly beside her. Yin Xu stuck his head out of the car window and shouted, "Min Hui!"

“Brother Yin?”

Min Hui was taken aback. She remembered that Yin Xu's car was a Toyota SUV. How did she open it?

"Where? I'll give you a ride."

"No, it's just in front, Rhett Commercial Building."

"I'm going there too, come up."

The face was brand new, Min Hui sat up and smelled a "new car" smell.

"Brother Yin, why did you change your car?"

"I left my SUV to Cao Mu. Now I'm doing a small business and I need a truck to tow the goods." Yin Xu said, "I opened a sporting goods store on the third floor of Ruide, which mainly deals in branded sports shoes. Nike, Reebok, Under Armour, New Brunswick, Skechers, Adidas, etc.”

"When did it happen?"

"After the divorce, all the money is left to my wife and children. I don't have enough money, so I have to find a way to make money." Yin Xu said while driving, "I sold an old house and bought a shop here. ."

“How is business?”

"It's just the beginning. But it's great, I've been too busy these days." Yin Xu said, "I hired fifteen college students to work as sales for me."

"Fifteen?" Min Hui was taken aback, "Your shop is not small, right?"

"The store occupies one-third of the third floor, which is quite large compared to other stores." He pointed to the back of the car, "No, it sells so fast that I go there twice a day. Warehouse to get the goods."

"Are there any children's shoes?"

"Yes, I have a children's section that sells a small number of children's shoes, mainly Nike and Keschi."

When he said this, Min Hui became curious and followed him all the way to the third floor. After exiting the elevator and turning right, a newly renovated store appeared, named "Chaomu Sports".

"Why is it called that?"

"I miss Cao Mu all the time." Yin Xu laughed, "Is it nice? Does it rhyme?"

Min Hui gave him a white look: "Pull it down."

Walking into the store, it is fully furnished and dazzling, and the sneaker display area has a design sense.

"It's very nicely decorated, did you hire a special designer?"

"I designed it myself. I asked a student from the Academy of Fine Arts to draw my ideas. I hired two good carpenters - it's actually very simple."

"Does Sister Cao Mu know?"

"I haven't told her yet. She has a big temper. Your acquisition didn't work out. She's in a bad mood. I've been scared to talk to her recently.

"Brother, how did you make yourself an hourly worker?"

"Atonement only."

Min Hui looked at him, dumbfounded.

"Cao Mu said you plan to resign?"

"I have already resigned, just today. It will take some time to hand over the job." Min Hui asked casually, "By the way, are you short of manpower? Let me help you sell shoes?"

"It's a shortage, but this kind of work—"

"I have an advantage. I can help you design an electronic sales system that automatically calculates your sales, displays your inventory, and makes it easier for you to find goods. In addition, I can help you develop e-commerce, official APP, Weibo , WeChat, QR code network marketing...online and offline, no matter what kind of function you need, I can help you design it.”

"You've been hired." Yin Xu said immediately, "The main reason is that I have to teach some tennis lessons at the club. They are all good friends, and there is no way to turn them off, so I can't come every day, and I will take care of you if you are here. You don't need a full day, and you won't be paid less."

After speaking, seeing Min Hui carrying a pair of Nike shoes that Su Quan had chosen, she said, "Is this for Quan Quan? You don't need to pay, I'll give it to him."

Min Hui took out her bank card and glared at him: "They've started doing business, so don't be so generous. Your friends are all over the world, each of them will give you a pair and drink the Northwest Wind by yourself?"

The two chatted for a while, and when Min Hui returned home, the nanny handed Su Quan over to her, saying that she had already eaten dinner. There are two dishes on the table that Yunlu specially left for her.

Min Hui sat down at the table, lifted the lid on the plate, a plate of oxtail braised in red wine, and a plate of garden salad, all of which she likes to eat. There is a bottle of red wine next to it, and a card is pressed under it, which reads: "You can borrow this bottle of wine to cover your sorrows."

It is the handwriting of Xin Qi.

She took out her phone and texted him: "Thank you for the wine."

After a while, he replied: "Will you go to work in Guanchao?"

She replied: "I have resigned."

He asked, "What are you going to do in the future?"

She replied with two words: "Selling shoes."

The phone rang immediately, and his impatient voice came: "Selling shoes? What shoes?"

"Sneakers."

Over there, his voice was even more exasperated: "The dignified master of computer science from Huaqing University and the R&D director of Bai'an are going to sell shoes? Is it shameful?"

"What's the shame? How many bankers became homeless during the financial crisis—"

"Don't go so far, what can't you sell, have to sell shoes?"

"I have a competition restriction and can only do this."

He was silent for a while, and finally said: "Don't do it, I'll give you the money you need."

"I don't need it. And I'm soft on people. My father is a small business, and I actually like to sell shoes." Min Hui said, eating a big mouthful of salad, lettuce crunching, " If you want to support me, you can come to me to buy a lot of shoes. Oh, by the way, if you can mobilize the whole company to buy it, I will give you a 20% discount. It is on the third floor of Ruide Commercial Building, Chaomu Sports."

"Min Hui."

"Huh?"

"Are you drunk and talking drunk? It's fine if you sell your own shoes, and you want me to buy them from you?"

“Shoes are better than sweet potatoes.”

“Cheng Qirang didn’t give you any big offer? I don’t believe it.”

"Xin Qi," Min Hui couldn't help roaring, "How many times do you have to say it before you can believe it? I hate Cheng Qirang! If he gave me the moon, the stars, and the entire galaxy, I wouldn't go to watch the tide!"
