Chapter 262 Heaven Has Eyes
He still had some confidence, believing that if his dad talked to Qiu Wenyu, he should be able to stay. After all, if Qiu Wenyu then spoke to Xu Yang, Xu Yang would probably give Qiu Wenyu face.
"You should leave," Tao Yongchang said.
"Dad, what did you say?" Tao Yingjun was surprised.
"I already know about your dismissal. President Qiu told me. I\'ve spoiled you too much in the past, leading you to be so arrogant and overbearing at the company, and now you\'ve ended up in this situation. Maybe it\'s for the best," Tao Yongchang said.
Just now, Qiu Wenyu had called him over and conveyed Xu Yang\'s intentions.
Tao Yongchang had been mentally prepared, so it didn\'t really come as a surprise to him.
After all, no new boss would tolerate someone like Tao Yingjun.
Not knowing was one thing, but once aware, they would certainly want to dismiss such a person.
Anyway, he had come to understand that his son leaving to become self-reliant outside might not be a bad thing.
He was getting on in years and couldn\'t always cover for his son, nor could he manage to cover all the time.
"What kind of good thing is that? If I go out there, I\'ll only be able to work as a regular employee," Tao Yingjun said with a bitter face.
"A regular employee then, a regular employee. If you want to be a leader, work hard for it. You\'re still young and have the chance to change. If you were old, it would be too late even if you wanted to change. I can protect you for a moment, but not for a lifetime. Go and complete the resignation procedures," Tao Yongchang said.
"Dad, do I really have to leave?" Tao Yingjun was reluctant.
"Nonsense, get out of here quickly. Don\'t keep hovering around in front of me, it irritates me just looking at you," Tao Yongchang got somewhat angry. Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.net
If it weren\'t for the fact that he was his real son, he would have truly wanted to slap Tao Yingjun to death.
With no other choice, Tao Yingjun could only leave to complete the resignation procedures.
The news of his resignation spread quickly throughout the entire company.
Suddenly, the whole company was abuzz.
"Holy shit, Tao Yingjun has resigned!"
"What happened? Why would Tao Yingjun resign?"
"There must be some inside story that we don\'t know about!"
"Isn\'t that obvious? There would be no resignation for Tao Yingjun without some backstory!"
"Do you think Tao Yingjun said something about Zhao Yulu, Xu Yang got wind of it, got angered, and Xu Yang personally ordered Tao Yingjun\'s dismissal?"
"Very possible. This guess should be very close to the truth."
"But surely Xu Yang wouldn\'t be so petty, right? It was just talking, after all. It\'s not like it cost him a piece of flesh!"
"It\'s not about being petty. This is about someone\'s reputation."
"From what Tao Yingjun said, it doesn\'t seem like he tarnished Xu Yang\'s reputation, though. If anything, it would be destroying Zhao Yulu\'s reputation."
"That\'s exactly what I\'m talking about—Zhao Yulu. Tao Yingjun damaged Zhao Yulu\'s reputation, forcing her to resign. Xu Yang, as her brother-in-law, had to support his ex-girlfriend and current aunt."
"I think you guys have it wrong. It\'s very possible Xu Yang learned about Tao Yingjun\'s past misconduct and didn\'t want such a person staying in the company to affect its development."
"That\'s possible too, after all, making money is what\'s most important."
"No matter what, Tao Yingjun has ultimately resigned. From now on, it\'s unlikely for us, the small employees, to get information from the higher-ups."
...
The gossip chat group.
Employee H: Hahaha, Tao Yingjun has resigned, which is really great news. There is justice in the world after all.
Employee A: To the person above, watch out, Tao Yingjun might come after you!
Employee H: Come after me? He\'s on his way out—how could he? And even if he wanted to, he couldn\'t, right?
Employee B: Exactly, he can\'t do anything now. We can say whatever we want.
Employee C: Tao Yingjun has done plenty of bad things in the past. It serves him right to be gone.
Employee D: I\'m going to add a chicken leg to my dinner tonight to celebrate.
Employee F: This is a gossip chat group established by Tao Yingjun himself. Is it really okay for you all to talk about him like this?
Employee G: It doesn\'t matter. Tao Yingjun is leaving anyway, and he\'s going to disband this group, so what\'s wrong with me speaking my mind?
Employee J: Right, we should say what we want to say.
Employee K: Everyone, look quickly, there\'s an announcement in the company group, it\'s about Tao Yingjun.
Employee R: What, an announcement about Tao Yingjun?
Employee T: Going to check it out right now!
The gossip and discussions rose and fell in every department, spreading even to the gossip chat groups.
No one held back in speaking their minds, openly calling out his name, no longer referring to him as "Young Master Tao".
After all, Tao Yingjun had been dismissed, so there was nothing to fear.
And there was no need to be afraid of Tao Yingjun\'s deputy general manager father either.
Such a person would not bother with these little employees.
Otherwise, if these little employees stirred up trouble, it would be more trouble than it was worth for Tao Yongchang.
Company group.
Notice: Tao Yingjun, manager of the company\'s marketing department, has grossly violated company regulations. After deliberation by the senior executives, he has been dismissed. We hope all employees take this as a warning. No one should commit similar acts, and if discovered, will be dealt with severely!
Employee M: Oh my God, Tao Yingjun has really been dismissed.
Employee A: This \'violation of company regulations,\' what exactly does it refer to? I\'m a bit confused.
Employee D: No need to worry about what the regulations are, you just need to know the outcome.
Employee G: Good riddance, let\'s see how he can swagger around now.
Employee H: This scourge is finally leaving.
Employee J: Now, with pretty female colleagues around, we might have a chance too.
Employee K: Yeah, if not taken by him, they would be driven away, it was really annoying.
Employee R: He\'s gone alright, but his deputy general manager father is still here, is it really ok to talk like this?
Employee T: There\'s nothing wrong with it, we\'re stating facts. I believe Mr. Tao is a reasonable man and won\'t give us trouble over this.
Employee Y: Yeah, I believe that too.
Employee U: Too bad, Zhao Yulu left. Otherwise, with my good looks, I still would have had a chance.
Employee Q: You\'re shameless, you know that? You\'ve insulted the very word \'handsome\'.
Employee W: Zhao Yulu\'s brother-in-law is Mr. Xu. Chasing after Zhao Yulu isn\'t that easy, you guys might as well keep dreaming.
Employees: Tao Yingjun is gone, let\'s go celebrate at Haidilao tonight, who\'s in?
Employee B: I\'m in, we\'ve got to celebrate, it would be unjust not to.
Employee V: Count me in, Haidilao is owned by Mr. Xu, this is like currying favor with him, hoping for a bigger end-of-year bonus, haha.
It can be said that most people were quite happy about Tao Yingjun\'s dismissal.
Because of all the despicable things Tao Yingjun had done before.
Everyone was wary of Tao Yingjun\'s deputy general manager father and didn\'t dare say much on the surface, but they all had their thoughts.
Tao Yingjun, while processing his resignation, saw these comments in the group and his face turned black.
All these bastards had been fawning over him previously, with only a few daring to speak like this, and even then, only in private.
And now, they really dared to say anything.
After finishing the paperwork, Tao Yingjun left the company with not a single person seeing him off.
Even those who had most eagerly bootlicked him before became cold when they saw Tao Yingjun leave.
This made him realize that in the company, he truly was nothing.
All he had relied on was the deputy general manager, his father.
Now, there was no way he could ask his father for help.
Could he still expect his father to scold these people on his behalf?
Impossible.
His father would not do such a thing either.
At this critical moment, if his father dared do so, he might even face dismissal himself.
"Wait until I make a name for myself outside, then I\'ll show you!"
As he walked out of the company building, Tao Yingjun glanced back at the high-rise one last time, then turned and strode away.
