After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The knock on the door interrupted the secretary's unfinished words and made Xiang Yu even more angry. "Come in!"

The office door was slowly pushed open, and Cheng Duan was standing at the door, looking at Yan Jin and Xiang Yu with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He was holding an envelope in his hand, and his knuckles were slightly white because of the force.

"Engineer Cheng, is there anything I can help you with?" Yan Jin spoke first, in a calm tone, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere in the office.

Engineer Cheng took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision. He walked up to Yan Jin and handed her the envelope in his hand. "Boss Yan, this is my resignation letter. I have decided to leave the company."

The sudden news stunned Yan Jin and Xiang Yu. Cheng Gong was the technical backbone of the company and mastered the core technology. His departure was undoubtedly a huge loss to the company.

"Mr. Cheng, why do you want to resign suddenly? If there is anything about the company that makes you dissatisfied, you can directly tell us and we will do our best to improve it." Yan Jin frowned slightly and tried to retain him in a sincere tone.

Engineer Cheng smiled bitterly, "Boss Yan, as you know, I have been in the company for many years and have been working diligently, but..." He paused, as if organizing his words, "But I have always felt that my talents have not been fully utilized, and the company has given me more and more limited room for development..."

Yan Jin wanted to say something else, but Cheng Gong raised his hand to interrupt her, "Boss Yan, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. In fact, I have accepted an invitation from another company. The salary and development platform they offer are very attractive to me."

Cheng Gong's words made Yan Jin and Xiang Yu understand that this was not a simple career development issue, but a case of poaching by a rival company.

Yan Jin took the resignation letter but did not open it. Instead, she stared at Cheng Gong with burning eyes, "Cheng Gong, I hope you can think about it again. Your importance to the company is self-evident. The company will never treat any talent unfairly."

Engineer Cheng avoided Yan Jin's gaze and said firmly, "I have made up my mind. Thank you, Mr. Yan, for taking care of me during this period..."

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply and turned to leave the office.

"Wait." Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. His voice was low and full of pressure. "Engineer Cheng, I hope you can understand that you are in control of the company's core technology. Your departure..."

Before Xiang Yu finished speaking, the door of his office was pushed open again, and the secretary ran in in a panic, "Boss Xiang, Boss Yan, something bad has happened..."

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xiang Yu asked impatiently. The secretary's interruption made him even angrier.

The secretary took a deep breath and said quickly, "Mr. Xiang, I just got the news that several key employees in the marketing and R&D departments have also submitted their resignations. It seems that they also want to..."

Before the secretary could finish his words, Xiang Yu slammed the table and interrupted him, "This is ridiculous! What do they want to do? Are they going to quit their jobs en masse?!"

Yan Jin's face darkened. In such a short period of time, many key members of the company had proposed to resign. This was obviously not a coincidence. There must be someone behind this.

"Investigate! Find out immediately who is behind this!" Xiang Yu ordered angrily, his sharp eyes seemed to see through all the conspiracies.

"No need to check, I already know who it is." Yan Jin calmed down and said in a cold tone, "Besides the Wu Group, who else has the guts to poach our people?"

Xiang Yu also quickly calmed down. The Wu Group was their biggest competitor in the industry. The two companies had been fighting openly and secretly for many years. This poaching incident was obviously a long-planned move by the Wu Group.

"What conditions did they offer?" Xiang Yu asked, suppressing his anger.

"As far as I know, the salary offered by Wu Group is twice ours, and they also promised a higher position and equity incentives." Yan Jin's tone was calm, but his heart was in turmoil. The Wu Group had invested heavily this time, and it was obvious that they wanted to take the opportunity to deal them a fatal blow.

"Humph, using money to poach people is really despicable!" Xiang Yu snorted coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "We are not without competitiveness, we can't let them succeed!"

He turned to look at Yan Jin, "Go talk to Engineer Cheng in person and find out his specific needs first, and see if you can keep him here."

"Okay." Yan Jin nodded in agreement. She understood that the most important thing now was to stabilize people's hearts and not let the situation deteriorate further.

At the same time, in a high-end coffee shop, Wu Ming, the human resources manager of Wu Group, was talking to Cheng Gong with a proud look on his face.

"Mr. Cheng, our CEO Wu appreciates you very much and hopes that you can seriously consider our offer. Don't worry, as long as you come to our company, the treatment will definitely not disappoint you."

Cheng Gong showed a hint of hesitation on his face, "Manager Wu, I am very grateful for your company's appreciation, but..."

"Mr. Cheng, I know what you are still hesitating about." Wu Ming interrupted Cheng and continued, "Don't worry, our company attaches great importance to talents. As long as you are willing to come, we will definitely provide you with the best development platform and promotion space."

Wu Ming picked up his phone, pretended to flip through it casually, then smiled and said to Cheng Gong: "By the way, Mr. Cheng, I just saw a piece of news that your old employer seems to have encountered some troubles recently..."

He paused deliberately to observe Engineer Cheng's reaction before continuing, "I heard that their company has had funding problems recently and may have to lay off employees..."

Engineer Cheng's face changed slightly. Wu Ming's words hit home his concerns. The reason why he chose to leave was because he was worried about the future of the company.

"Mr. Cheng, you should understand now that there is no future for you in that company. Only by coming to our company can you ..."

Before Wu Ming could finish his words, he was interrupted by a knock on the door... "Knock, knock, knock—"

There was a knock on the door, and the smug smile on Wu Ming's face froze instantly. Engineer Cheng also turned his head to look at the door, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Sorry to bother you." Yan Jin pushed the door open and nodded to the two of them gracefully, but her eyes fell on Cheng Gong with a hint of inquiry.

Seeing Yan Jin suddenly appear, Wu Ming's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "It turns out to be President Yan. What a coincidence, you are also here to discuss something?"

Yan Jin ignored Wu Ming's sarcasm and looked at Cheng Gong. He said sincerely, "Cheng Gong, is it convenient for you now? I want to talk to you."

Engineer Cheng looked at Wu Ming, then at Yan Jin, and finally stood up and said to Yan Jin, "Boss Yan, let's go out and talk."

Yan Jin nodded and walked out of the coffee shop first. Cheng Gong looked at Wu Ming deeply and followed him out, leaving Wu Ming sitting alone in his seat with a gloomy face.

Yan Jin brought Cheng Gong to a teahouse. The environment was quiet and elegant, which formed a sharp contrast with the noisy coffee shop just now.

"Engineer Cheng, I know you have been thinking about your career plan recently. I came here today to introduce a friend to you." Yan Jin said while making tea.

"This is Mr. Zheng, a senior career planner. He has very unique insights on career development and I believe he can be of some help to you."

Mr. Zheng is an elegant middle-aged man. He smiled and nodded to Mr. Cheng, then began to ask Mr. Cheng about his professional experience, skills, career goals, etc.

Mr. Cheng was a little reserved at first, but as he talked with Mr. Zheng, he gradually relaxed and began to seriously think about the direction of his career development.

Mr. Zheng listened carefully to Mr. Cheng's ideas and analyzed the pros and cons of different options for him based on his actual situation.

"Engineer Cheng, you have solid professional knowledge and rich project experience, which are invaluable assets in the industry." Mr. Zheng pointed out Engineer Cheng's advantages in a gentle tone.

"However, you also need to realize that you still have some deficiencies in management and communication skills, which are bottlenecks that restrict your career development."

Engineer Cheng was silent. Mr. Zheng's words made him realize his own limitations. He had always focused on technology research and development, but ignored improvements in other areas.

"Of course, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. The key is to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses and find a development path that suits you," Mr. Zheng continued.

"With your professional ability, if you choose to switch to another company, you may be able to get a higher salary and position, but it also means that you will have to bear greater pressure and risks."

"Although your development space is limited in the short term, you will be very familiar with the company's situation and the company is willing to provide you with more learning and growth opportunities. In the long run, this may not be a better choice."

Mr. Zheng's words made Mr. Cheng fall into deep thought. He began to seriously weigh the pros and cons and think about what he really wanted.

Seeing the hesitation on Cheng Gong's face, Yan Jin said at the right time: "Cheng Gong, I know you are facing an important choice now, and our company has been working hard to create a better development platform for employees."

"I believe that as long as you are willing to stay, the company will give you a satisfactory answer."

Yan Jin's words were sincere and firm, which made Cheng Gong feel the company's attention to him and its sincerity in retaining him.

He raised his head, looked at Yan Jin, and slowly said, "Boss Yan, I..."

Before Engineer Cheng said the word "I", Trainer Wang, who had been listening quietly, spoke up, "Engineer Cheng, if you want to improve your professional skills, our department can tailor a training plan for you to help you improve your professional skills and competitiveness." Trainer Wang pushed up his glasses, his eyes shining with confidence, "I believe that with your talent and hard work, plus the full support of the company, you will be able to reach a higher level in your professional field."

Mr. Cheng was shaken. He originally thought that the company would only use cold salary packages to retain him, but he didn't expect that President Yan attached so much importance to his personal development. He not only invited a career planner to give him guidance, but also was willing to provide him with a personalized training plan.

Seeing the hesitation on Cheng Gong's face loosen, Yan Jin knew that the time was right. She stood up and said sincerely: "Cheng Gong, today we just want to talk to you openly and honestly. We don't mean to force you to make a decision. Go back and think about it carefully. No matter what decision you make, we respect your choice."

Three days later, Yan Jin convened an emergency meeting with Xiang Yu and the company's senior executives. The theme was only one: how to retain core talents such as Cheng Gong. At the meeting, everyone brainstormed and finally developed a complete talent retention plan, including increasing salary and benefits, optimizing promotion mechanisms, and strengthening talent training.

After the meeting, Xiang Yu walked up to Yan Jin and asked in a low voice, "Do you really think Engineer Cheng is worth spending so much to keep him?"

Yan Jin stopped and turned to look at Xiang Yu, her eyes firm and confident, "Talent is the most valuable asset of an enterprise, and Engineer Cheng is a rare technical backbone of our company. His stay or departure is directly related to the future development of the company."

Xiang Yu was silent. He knew that Yan Jin was right, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Yan Jin's concern for Cheng Gong seemed to exceed the boundaries between ordinary colleagues.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go eat." Yan Jin seemed to see Xiang Yu's doubts, but did not explain much. He just said it lightly, then turned and left the meeting room.

Xiang Yu looked at Yan Jin's departing back, his brows slightly furrowed, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In the evening, Yan Jin called Engineer Cheng, "Engineer Cheng, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

Engineer Cheng on the other end of the phone was stunned at first, then he said hesitantly, "This..."

Yan Jin seemed not to hear the hesitation in his tone, and said briskly: "I know a good private restaurant, the food is very good, you must try it."

Without waiting for Cheng Gong to refuse again, Yan Jin continued, "Just think of it as the company's thanks for your hard work and contribution over the past few years. You won't even give me this face, right?"

After hearing what Yan Jin had said, Engineer Cheng could no longer refuse and had to agree.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin's lips curled up into a determined smile, everything was under control...
