Parallel world, Jiangcheng City, Dragon Country.
"Qin Xuan, the boss sent a message, remember to check the group."
"Got it, Sister Liu."
Skillfully opening the company's large group chat, Qin Xuan's brows immediately furrowed.
"Voluntary salary reduction again?"
"This is the third time this year..."
Voluntary salary reduction was a new concept conceived by the company's chairman, Hu Hao.
It meant voluntarily reducing one's salary for the following month, with no compensation or preferential treatment afterward.
In Hu Hao's own words: "I don't force employees to voluntarily reduce their salaries, but the extent of the salary reduction depends entirely on the employee's loyalty to the company."
When the leader said so, how could the employees refuse the boss's face?
Qin Xuan was no exception.
In the past, to keep his job, he had to "actively" reduce his salary. However, the situation this year was a bit unusual.
His sister, Qin Ling'er, was diagnosed with heart disease a few months ago and required a large sum for medical expenses.
Even after using all his savings, he was still short by nearly 100,000 yuan.
And not only that, but the rent for these past few months...
"Buzz~"
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan's phone suddenly rang.
Opening it, he found that what he thought of had arrived.
As expected, it was a debt collection message from the landlord.
"You brat, your rent has been overdue for a full six months! If you don't pay me up, you and your stuff can get out!"
With no other choice, he had to open a private chat to try and negotiate with the boss.
However, after sending just two messages, his messages were screenshotted by the boss, Hu Hao, and forwarded to the company's large group chat.
Hu Hao: The market is not good right now, and the company asking you to voluntarily reduce your salary is to keep the company afloat.
Hu Hao: But some employees don't consider the bigger picture, only caring about their own gains and losses, and even fabricating absurd excuses like a seriously ill sister to avoid a salary reduction!
Hu Hao: I hope everyone can take this as a warning and not ruin their own future!
Seeing Hu Hao's barrage of messages and the screenshot with his name on it.
Qin Xuan's head buzzed.
He thought his years of forbearance would be exchanged for a stable job and a bright future, but he never expected that this kind of tolerance would become the other party's leverage to escalate.
Fine, fine, since you are not benevolent, then don't blame me for being unrighteous.
Although Qin Xuan is just a graduate who has been out of school for less than two years, he is not a clay figurine without temper.
Setting up his keyboard, Qin Xuan immediately interrupted those who were agreeing with Hu Hao.
Qin Xuan: Chairman Hu, since you've brought my affairs into the open, I have no choice but to have a good talk with you.
Qin Xuan: Firstly, Qin Ling'er is my sister, and no matter what, I would not joke about her life.
Qin Xuan: She is indeed seriously ill, and I have all the relevant medical records here.
Qin Xuan: Secondly, employees and the company are in an employment relationship. We work, and you pay wages; this is only natural.
Qin Xuan: Don't talk about the company's market conditions or not making much profit. Even if the company is losing money, or even going bankrupt, there is no reason for employees to foot the bill.
Qin Xuan: Finally, can the loyalty of employees to the company only be judged by whether they voluntarily reduce their salary?
Qin Xuan: That's utter nonsense!
Qin Xuan: Your so-called voluntary salary reduction is just to brainwash everyone and select employees with high "compliance"!
Qin Xuan: This is not a test of everyone's loyalty, but naked workplace PUA!
Silence, profound silence.
After Qin Xuan sent those several long paragraphs of information to the group, the hundreds of people in the company's large group chat instantly fell silent.
For a full five minutes, no one dared to speak.
It wasn't until Qin Xuan's direct superior, Sister Liu, spoke up to reprimand him in the group.
Liu Ying: Qin Xuan, how can you speak to Chairman Hu like that?
Liu Ying: You've been with the company for two full years since you graduated from university, and from knowing nothing to being solely responsible for projects, you owe it all to the company's cultivation.
Liu Ying: Not only are you ungrateful to the company, but you also make excuses not to contribute to the company!
Liu Ying: You even slander Chairman Hu!
Liu Ying: Can you live with yourself?!
Liu Ying's words were full of disappointment towards Qin Xuan, but Qin Xuan, upon seeing them, felt no guilt at all. Instead, he laughed heartily.
Qin Xuan: Sister Liu, I don't like what you're saying.
Qin Xuan: Since I joined the company, as my direct superior, you have not only not provided any help with my work, but on the contrary, you have specifically assigned many tasks that did not belong to my position.
Qin Xuan: Not only that, but during the period when I was solely responsible for the project, other departments not only did not cooperate actively but even started playing the blame game internally.
Qin Xuan: If I hadn't tirelessly smoothed things over and built connections, this damn project would have died long ago!
Qin Xuan: So I can say with a clear conscience that my current achievements are entirely my own!
Qin Xuan: It has nothing to do with the company.
Liu Ying: You!
Liu Ying was rendered speechless by Qin Xuan's retort, and seeing his posture, others were even more hesitant to intervene.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Liu Ying, with an angry expression, threw a document onto Qin Xuan's desk.
"Qin Xuan, you have been fired by the company."
"This is your resignation letter. Sign it."
Liu Ying did not deliberately lower her voice, and all the employees in the same office as Qin Xuan couldn't help but peek out.
Qin Xuan picked up the resignation letter from the desk without surprise. On it, in striking letters, were the words: The employee voluntarily resigns for personal reasons and forfeits the income for this month.
What a joke!
Can you be any more shameless?
Looking further down.
Good heavens, you really can be!
At the bottom of the resignation letter, Qin Xuan's name was already written. kuAiδugg
"You've even signed my name, why are you still looking for me?"
Qin Xuan threw the resignation letter back with a cold smile and was about to say something when he was suddenly surrounded by several security guards who entered from the door.
Without a word, they grabbed Qin Xuan's finger and pressed it onto the resignation letter.
"Alright, you are now completely unrelated to the company. Please leave quickly and don't affect my employees' work."
Picking up the resignation letter, Liu Ying said with a playful smile.
Qin Xuan wanted to argue with her a few more words but was then lifted by those burly men and thrown directly out of the company.
"Fine, fine, you win. Hu Hao, Liu Ying, you haven't seen the last of me!"
Slowly getting up from the ground, Qin Xuan felt his head buzzing.
Countless unfamiliar voices suddenly appeared in his mind, refusing to dissipate.
Listening closely, they were actually the sounds of various surrounding objects!
Carpet: Big brother, can you move away from me? You're quite heavy.
Flower pot: This broken flower is a dime a dozen in my hometown, and they still have to be planted on me!
Foxtail grass: Water, give me some water!
Qin Xuan was stunned.
What the hell is going on?
Could it be that he had hit his head and was hallucinating?!
