As Huang Guang was working, he noticed that his Boss, Niu Lili, was calling him with a nasty tone. "Huang Guang, please come over,"
Huang Guang went over, and his colleagues looked at him with pity and sympathy as he did.
"Huang Guang, please ask yourself, we can't help you," one of his colleagues said.
Huang Guang knew that a few days ago, Niu Lili was an ordinary employee just like him. In fact, Huang Guang's performance and abilities were even better than Niu Lili's. However, when the company wanted to promote a supervisor from among them, Niu Lili regarded Huang Guang as the biggest competitor and threat.
On the eve of Huang Guang's promotion, Niu Lili went to the supervisor to give a small report about him and even went to the manager to give a gift.
Ultimately, Niu Lili won the promotion, and Huang Guang's life became more difficult. Niu Lili was constantly critical of Huang Guang's work.
As Huang Guang walked over to Niu Lili, he knew he was in for another one of Niu Lili's criticisms.
"Huang Guang, what's the matter with you?" Niu Lili asked.
"I didn't finish the work I arranged for you to finish yesterday, and I didn't see you working overtime at night. Do you still want to do this job or not?"
Huang Guang smiled faintly and replied, "I'm not lazy. I do two or three times the workload of others every day. From today on, you can do these jobs yourself. I won't accompany you!"
Niu Lili was dumbfounded and just stood there in a daze. Huang Guang's colleagues were also stunned, thinking that Huang Guang was a prominent critic and a bully.
Huang Guang left Niu Lili in a daze and walked directly to the general manager's office.
Yuan Gang, the Boss and general manager of the company, was surprised to see Huang Guang knocking on his door.
"Huang Guang, what's the matter?" Yuan Gang asked.
Huang Guang replied, "Boss, this is my resignation report. I don't want to do it anymore."
Yuan Gang took the resignation report and asked, "Why? Is the job not going well, or do you think the salary is too low?"
Yuan Gang had an employee who had been working for more than a year, but despite his tenure, Yuan Gang was not willing to see him resign. One day, Huang Guang approached Yuan Gang and said, "Boss, I need to talk to you about something important."
Yuan Gang looked up and said, "Sure, what's on your mind?"
Huang Guang did not hide it and said, "Boss, my classmate asked me to help out in his company and hoped I would work with him."
Yuan Gang looked at Huang Guang and thought in his heart that his classmate should be young and that he must be running a small company.
Although he thought so, Yuan Gang couldn't help asking, "What's the name of your classmate's company? Is it also in SY City?"
Huang Guang replied, "No, in Huahai City, the name is Global Ocean Services Company."
Yuan Gang's expression changed. "What! Global Ocean Services? That's Universal Company's subsidiary!"
Huang Guang confirmed, "Yes, he is the Boss. I used to work with him this time. I will be the manager for the time being, and I will be promoted slowly in the future."
Yuan Gang knew that Huang Guang could not be retained, so he reluctantly signed Huang Guang's resignation report. However, Yuan Gang was not ready to relinquish his potential connection to Universal Company.
Yuan Gang researched the company and became optimistic about forming a long-term cooperative relationship. Still, his company needed to be more significant for many ocean shipping companies to accept their business.
Yuan Gang had previously shipped through Universal Company twice in a row and knew that Huang Guang, now the manager of Universal Company, would likely be a department manager or even a senior executive in the future.
As such, Yuan Gang knew he needed to establish a good relationship with Huang Guang to secure future cooperation with Universal Company.
He opened his drawer and took out the 20,000 yuan in cash inside, offering it to Huang Guang as a token of gratitude for his service and to ensure their relationship would remain strong even after his departure.
Huang Guang was overjoyed and grateful for the unexpected bonus. He accepted the gift and said,
"Boss, I can't believe you're giving me this. Thank you so much!"
Yuan Gang replied, "Brother, I won't keep you if you go to a high place and the water flows to a low place. This is a small thing, and you must accept it."
Huang Guang was not polite. After expressing his gratitude, he took the two bundles of banknotes.
Seeing that Huang Guang had received the banknotes, Yuan Gang was also relieved. He and Huang Guang had a good relationship, and it is possible to form long-term and stable cooperation with Universal.
"Brother, you have been working with me for over a year, and your hard work has never gone unnoticed. As you leave, it's only fitting to hold a farewell banquet in your honor."
The unexpected announcement took aback Huang Guang. "A farewell party? That's not necessary."
But Yuan Gang was insistent. "Nonsense, it must be done. It's been ages since our company has had a chance to build team morale, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so."
Feeling grateful for his Boss's kind gesture, Huang Guang accepted the invitation with a smile and thanked him profusely.
And so, on the day of his departure, the entire company came together to send Huang Guang off in style.
He approached the office door; Yuan Gang picked up the phone and called his secretary to give instructions.
After sitting in his office and packing up his things, Huang Guang was interrupted by the sound of Yuan Gang's voice booming over the intercom.
"Attention everyone, please stop what you're doing. I have an important announcement to make."
All eyes turned to Yuan Gang, wondering what he could say.
The room erupted into a mix of gasps, congratulations, and envy. Huang Guang had undoubtedly made an impression during his time with the company, and it was clear that his hard work had not gone unnoticed.
