278: Chapter 277 Resignation

Taiwan Island, headquarters of Wanji Company.

A Middle-aged man slammed a stack of documents onto the table, sending them flying and scattering all over the floor.

Behind the table sat a Middle-aged man of similar age, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking very refined.

He adjusted his glasses, not at all angry, and said calmly, "Director Zeng Weiguo, this decision was not made by me; it is a formal resolution of the Board of Directors. Therefore, it is useless for you to lose your temper with me here."

"That was a 500 million contract! 500 million! I signed it! You say you want to breach the contract, you do so without even a word of notice. Do you even have any regard for me, the Director of the Huaxia region!"

The man named Director Zeng Weiguo was very angry, his tone filled with fury.

"It is not 500 million. Haven't you already provided 150 million worth of goods?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses looked up at Director Zeng Weiguo: "Also, I will repeat it again: this was not my decision. It is a unanimous decision by all directors of the Board of Directors. If you have any opinions on this, you can go to the Board of Directors."

Director Zeng Weiguo looked at the man with the gold-rimmed glasses opposite him and said fiercely, "I demand to see Director Zeng. I want to petition the Board of Directors to immediately revoke this resolution!"

"It is too late. We have already sent an email terminating the contract to this company and have published the announcement on our official website." The man with the gold-rimmed glasses raised his wrist and checked his watch: "Hmm... by now, it has probably already spread."

Director Zeng Weiguo's eyes were splitting with rage.

"You!"

With a breath held in his chest, he could not make a sound.

500 million! A 500 million contract.

No matter where this money is placed, it is no longer a small amount.

If this contract could have entered Vangi's 2018 financial report, it might not have been impossible for his position to rise even further.

But now, all of this has been shattered.

Director Zeng Weiguo was stunned for a long while, then sat heavily on the sofa.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses smiled calmly: "That is right. As the dignified President of Wanji Semiconductor's Huaxia region, getting so worked up over a mere 500 million would be a laughingstock if it got out."

"General Manager Wei." Director Zeng Weiguo said in a somewhat low voice, "I want to know if Director Zeng also agreed to this proposal."

A proposal by the Board of Directors usually does not need to be passed by a unanimous vote; it only needs a majority.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "I just said it: this resolution was passed unanimously by all members of the Board of Directors, which naturally includes Director Zeng."

Director Zeng Weiguo understood. He closed his eyes; at this moment, he truly accepted his fate.

There are not many resolutions that can be passed unanimously by all members of the Board of Directors, yet the one he encountered happened to be one of them.

Now, he did not even have the right to voice an opinion.

The door was gently knocked twice; the sound was very soft.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses sat up straight and said calmly, "Come in."

"General Manager Wei."

The person who entered was the personal secretary of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, holding a document, which she respectfully placed in front of him.

"Frontier Technology has replied."

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses nodded calmly, picked up the document to flip through it, and then smiled.

He threw the document in front of Director Zeng Weiguo and laughed, "This Frontier Technology is quite interesting; they actually want us to pay liquidated damages?"

Director Zeng Weiguo looked at the document in front of him but did not read it.

He could guess the content with his eyes closed; he did not really care about these things.

What he cared about was only his own future.

Since the matter could not be salvaged, he would not continue to dwell on it. The problem now was that there were only a few days left until the end of the year; where could he go to fill the gap of several hundred million?

As for Frontier Technology?

Who would care about the attitude of a small company? Whether the liquidated damages are paid or not has nothing to do with him; it is not even worth his thought.

Seeing that Director Zeng Weiguo was not interested, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses turned his gaze to the female secretary.

"Tell them that the matter of liquidated damages can be negotiated. If they want to come, then let them come."

The female secretary nodded: "We have already received an invitation from them; the time is tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

"Hmm." The man with the gold-rimmed glasses nodded calmly: "My itinerary does not need to be changed. Go out."

The female secretary respectfully exited and closed the door.

The atmosphere went silent for a moment.

After a while, Director Zeng Weiguo came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, his emotions already calm.

"General Manager Wei, I want to know why the company would suddenly make such a decision?"

A 500 million contract is indeed not much for Wanji Semiconductor.

But even a mosquito is still meat. Moreover, Wanji Company is not yet so formidable that it can treat 500 million as a mosquito; at the very least, it is a chicken leg.

"You do not need to know the specific reason."

General Manager Wei's tone was flat.

"You only need to know that this company is already finished."

...

Pengcheng.

He Chenguang, sporting two dark circles under his eyes, walked into the Huaneng Group headquarters building with a numb expression.

It was not until he reached the gate that he regained some clarity, rubbing his stiff face hard.

Yesterday, he had stayed up all night for the first time ever, not sleeping a wink. Until now, his mind was still replaying the problems that zero egg had given him.

"Director He, good morning."

The staff member beside the gate saw He Chenguang and greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning."

He Chenguang replied, took out his employee card, and swiped it through the authentication area.

He went all the way up until he arrived in front of an office, where He Chenguang finally stopped.

After a slight hesitation, he raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in."

A familiar voice came from inside.

He Chenguang pushed the door open and walked in.

The office was very large, with simple yet luxurious furnishings. Behind the large desk in the center, a Middle-aged man looked up, saw He Chenguang walking in, revealed a trace of surprise, and smiled: "It is Xiao He. Why, did you finish your business so quickly?"

He remembered that young man in front of him had asked him for three days of leave.

It had only been two days, and he had already appeared before him.

"I finished, General Manager Yu."

"Since you have finished, just settle down and work. If you have any requirements, you can come to me at any time, and I will do my best to satisfy them."

The Middle-aged man said with a smile.

young man before him was a talent highly valued by the Chairman. Despite his young age, he had already reached the position of Technical Director, and his future would only get brighter.

For such a person, no matter how good the treatment, it is worth it.

He Chenguang was slightly silent, then took out an envelope, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward the Middle-aged man with both hands.

"What is this? Is it some new design idea?"

The Middle-aged man smiled, picked up the envelope, opened it, pulled out the contents, glanced at it, and immediately froze.

The smile on his face faded, and he gently placed the things in his hand on the desktop. The Middle-aged man looked up at He Chenguang.

"You want to resign?"

He Chenguang lowered his head slightly.

"What is the reason?" The Middle-aged man's tone was somewhat low: "There must be a reason for resigning. If you feel that the group has treated you unfairly in any way, you can completely bring it up."

"Are you dissatisfied with your salary?"

"Your current salary level is 20A, which is hard to adjust upwards, but the group is recently preparing to implement a new round of employee stock ownership restructuring. In this regard, I can provide you with appropriate preferential treatment."

He Chenguang shook his head slightly.

The Middle-aged man frowned slightly: "Then are you dissatisfied with your life?"

"You do not need to worry about this aspect either. The group headquarters is about to move to Songshan Lake. By then, we can provide you with an independent dormitory, and the living expenses will be covered by the group. When you are free, you can also go fishing, read books, and relax."

He Chenguang felt even more ashamed, but he still shook his head.

"Then are you dissatisfied with your work?"

The Middle-aged man frowned and thought: "There is not much to be done about this point. The department you supervise is very important, and it is very likely to be spun off later. For the candidate for this branch company, both I and General Manager Ren think very highly of you."

He Chenguang could not sit still anymore. He stood up and said very shamefully, "I am sorry, General Manager Yu."

To be reasonable, Huaneng Group had indeed already given him enough.

Just after graduation, Huaneng Group offered him a high annual salary of 1.5 million, and even provided a luxury apartment, with subsidies for food, clothing, and daily expenses.

You have to know that at the time, for an ordinary graduate student, a graduation salary that could reach 500,000 was already considered elite. What about Huaneng Group? They threw out three times that amount.

And now, his salary had already reached T20A, with an annual salary of 2.8 million.

Not to mention that General Manager Yu had just promised a whole bunch of benefits, each one full of sincerity.

Under these circumstances, how could he not be ashamed?

But... he had his reasons.

Reasons why he had to leave.

Looking at He Chenguang's ashamed eyes, the Middle-aged man asked, "Must you leave?"

He Chenguang nodded gently.

"Fine." The Middle-aged man sighed deeply: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I cannot force you. However, I would like to ask, which company's invitation is it?"

"It is Frontier Technology." After He Chenguang finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "However, they have not yet issued an invitation to me; it is me who wants to go and try."

"Frontier Technology?"

The Middle-aged man was stunned. He had thought it was some peer company sparing no expense to poach talent, but he did not expect it to be a newly established small company. Looking at He Chenguang's appearance, it seemed he had approached them himself.

The Middle-aged man paused for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and handed it to He Chenguang.

"Is it this company mentioned above?"
