Chapter 356 Trouble Arises
"Don't want to work anymore?" the subordinate sneered, "By the way, all the company's managers and supervisors, as well as the key business personnel, are resigning too. They all asked me to say goodbye to you."
After finishing, the call was disconnected.
This move of pulling out the rug from under the company was, of course, orchestrated by Xu Yang.
Jiang Yuhang's family owns a logistics company, so finding places for these people wasn't a problem.
Xu Yang even gave each of them a sum of money, which left them very satisfied.
Otherwise, these people would not have resigned so easily.
Listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, Peng Liangce was stunned in place.
What was happening?
If it were just the vice president resigning, he could have handled it, as he could have promoted someone from among the managers.
But with the managers, supervisors, and main business staff resigning, his company was left an empty shell.
In other industries, at most there would be a period with no business, and after recruiting people back, work would resume as usual.
But the logistics industry is different, as it's an industry that requires punctuality.
Every shipment has a time requirement.
If it doesn't arrive within the stipulated time, a hefty compensation must be paid.
Just the compensations alone would be more than Peng Liangce could bear.
Moreover, after this incident, his reputation was ruined, and no one would be willing to entrust their orders to his company in the future.
In essence, this move could directly bankrupt Peng Liangce's logistics company.
At that moment, another ringtone sounded.
It wasn't Peng Liangce's phone ringing, but Yu Kang's.
Yu Kang's face changed, a bad premonition creeping over him.
Based on experience, those involved in the matter might find themselves in trouble.
Still, he answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.
His subordinate's anxious voice came through immediately: "Mr. Yu, there's big trouble. Our company has been exposed!"
Yu Kang frowned, "Exposed? Exposed what?"
The subordinate said, "Someone has exposed some of our company's practices: hiring people to line up for real estate sales, renting houses to lower the landlord's rent while raising the tenant's rent. Many people have come to our company to make a commotion, and the Commerce and Industry Bureau has already sent people to investigate!"
These were all real estate agency tactics.
Such practices are against regulations. Enjoy new tales from empire
Once verified, they would be considered malicious competition, market disruption, and consumer deception.
Although it wouldn't lead to imprisonment, the fines could bankrupt a person.
Moreover, the company would be blacklisted, and its owner would no longer be able to open other companies.
Yu Kang's face turned pale as he spoke in a trembling voice, "Which company is being investigated, close it down immediately, don't implicate the others!"
The subordinate said bitterly, "Boss, all our companies are being investigated, and all at the same time."
"What!" Yu Kang shrieked as his hand trembled and his phone fell to the ground.
He collapsed to the floor, his vision darkening.
He knew that he was finished.
The predicaments of these two men caused everyone present to feel their hearts racing.
It goes without saying, Xu Yang had struck again.
Anyone who got involved met with dire consequences.
Xu Yang fully honored his promise.
From the very beginning with Wang Tongshan and Liang Wujun, to later Yang Chengbiao, Du Dazhi, and Tan Xiaorong, and now Peng Liangce and Yu Kang.
So, who would be next?
Everyone's gaze fell on Chen Laoyezi and Luo Hongwei.
Chen Laoyezi, however, remained calm and collected.
Luo Hongwei no longer had such composure, and his expression became somewhat unsightly.
With so many people collapsing, he didn't think he could hold steady.
However, after thinking it over, he still mustered his strength and said, "I shouldn't be in any trouble, I just accompanied Zheng Kaiyang to meet the old master, and didn't lay a hand on Xu Yang. Xu Yang should have no reason to trouble me."
Yet, as soon as his words fell, his cell phone rang.
The ringtone made Luo Hongwei shudder, feeling a bad premonition.
Seeing that it was his assistant calling, Luo Hongwei took a deep breath before answering, "What's the matter?"
His voice trembled as he asked, fearing that something major had happened.
The assistant said, "Boss, those foreign teachers have arrived, when will you be here?"
Hearing this, Luo Hongwei sighed with relief.
He was in education, renowned as the Education Tycoon of Fengcheng.
His education group offered various extracurricular coaching classes, covering every stage below college.
Their selling point was all-foreign-taught classes, aiming to turn children into foreigners as soon as possible.
The company's cheapest tutoring session for one level of courses was twenty thousand yuan.
And that was just the starting price. If a particularly struggling student wanted extra coaching, they could charge up to a hundred thousand yuan.
Don't think the fees are high. They offer all-foreign-taught classes, and that's what costs so much.
Many parents want foreigners to teach their children, to help them become foreigners sooner.
The various coaching classes together had about four thousand students enrolled, with an annual turnover reaching two billion yuan.
With so many students, of course, many foreign instructors were needed.
But Fengcheng was just a third-tier small city; how could it have so many foreign teachers?
He offered a month's salary of twenty thousand yuan for foreign teachers.
A foreign instructor qualified to teach in China, even in the four major first-tier cities, would be in great demand, and would not come to a third-tier city like Fengcheng to work in a private education group for a monthly salary of twenty thousand yuan.
The foreign instructors of his education group were all brought over from Guangcheng.
There were many foreigners in Guangcheng, especially poor ones, of all skin colors.
In Guangcheng, seeing them was too common to take notice.
But in a third-tier small city like Fengcheng, they seemed prestigious.
Simply standing there could make people believe they were exceptional foreigners with vast knowledge of the universe and the earth.
These foreigners also spoke Chinese and had no trouble interacting with children, truly ideal candidates to be foreign teachers.
As for whether they could teach the children well, that was none of his concern.
Anyway, in his advertising, these were all outstanding foreign teachers.
If your child didn't learn well, that was the child's problem. You could pay more and take a few more levels of courses.
Due to the expansion of the business, the number of students increased again.
Today, the school had brought in a few more foreign teachers from Guangcheng.
Originally, he had said he wanted to meet these foreign teachers.
Meeting them wasn't to show respect but to intimidate them, so they would work properly in the future and be easier to manage.
But today's incident with Zheng Kaiyang made him forget about it.
Now, he naturally couldn't go back, so he said, "I still have matters to attend to and can't go back. You meet them for me, just tell them about the company's rules and regulations, and make sure they do their job well."
The subordinate said, "All right."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Hongwei laughed comfortably, "Ha ha, Xu Yang isn't targeting me, it's just my company's business, I'm fine."
However, as soon as his words ended, his cell phone rang again.
Seeing it was still his assistant calling, he couldn't help frowning and he answered the phone, asking, "What else is it?"
The assistant spoke anxiously, "Boss, it's bad, something big has happened!"
Luo Hongwei's heart trembled, "Explain yourself clearly, what exactly has happened?"
