After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

"Of course he understands the importance of talent," Yan Jin retracted his gaze, his tone calm, "otherwise the Xiang family would not have achieved what it has today."

The man chuckled and didn't say anything else. He just raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to her. Yan Jin nodded slightly, and the two of them clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine each.

The atmosphere of the celebratory party lasted until very late. The stay of Cheng’s high-end talent undoubtedly gave the company a shot in the arm, and everyone was immersed in joy and hope.

However, one wave has not settled, and one wave has risen again.

At the routine project meeting a few days later, the atmosphere was completely different from the lively and cheerful atmosphere at the cocktail party.

"Mr. Li, you just said...you want to resign?" Manager Wang, the project leader, looked at Mr. Li, a high-end talent sitting opposite him, in disbelief, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Li Gaodian is another core technical backbone of the company. He has outstanding abilities and has always been a capable assistant to Manager Wang.

"Yes, Manager Wang, I have submitted my resignation application." Li Duanren said calmly, without any hesitation on his face.

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. The other people in the conference room looked at each other, their faces full of shock and confusion.

"Mr. Li, you have a good future in the company, why do you suddenly resign?" a colleague couldn't help asking.

Li Gaodian was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across everyone in the conference room, and finally fell on Manager Wang: "I have been in the company for three years. During these three years, I have performed my duties conscientiously and achieved some results. However, the company's promotion mechanism makes me unable to see the future, and my efforts are not proportional to my rewards."

Although his tone was calm, it revealed a firmness, and it was obvious that he had made a well-thought-out decision.

Manager Wang wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Li Gaodian Renren: "I have made up my mind. Thank you for your care during this period."

There was dead silence in the conference room. No one had expected that an ordinary project meeting would turn into such a situation.

It was already afternoon when Yan Jin and Xiang Yu received the news.

"It seems that our 'ex-husband' has more than one trouble." Yan Jin put down her phone and looked at Xiang Yu who was sitting opposite her, with an ambiguous smile on her lips.

Xiang Yu's face was solemn, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "I'll go talk to him..."

Yan Jin shook her head gently and stopped him: "If we go now, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

Xiang Yu frowned, of course he understood what Yan Jin meant. Li Gaodian was angry at the moment, and if he went now, he would only feel that the company was trying to retain him, rather than paying attention to his demands.

"Then what should we do?" Xiang Yu turned his gaze to Yan Jin, with a hint of anxiety and a barely perceptible dependence in his eyes.

"Let's wait and see what happens, and wait until he calms down." Yan Jin said in a steady tone, "Let's talk to him in private first and understand his true thoughts."

That evening, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu made an appointment with Li Gaodianren to meet in a highly private teahouse. The teahouse was quiet and elegant, with an antique decoration style and a light tea fragrance, which allowed people to calm down and have a good conversation.

"Mr. Li, I asked you to come here today because I wanted to talk to you about your resignation." Yan Jin personally poured a cup of tea for Li Gaodianren, with a gentle tone without any blame.

Li Gaodiancai took the teacup but did not drink it. He was silent for a moment, with a hint of depression in his tone: "Boss Yan, I have been working in the company for five years. I have worked my way up from a junior engineer to where I am today. I have feelings for the company."

"Of course we know your contribution to the company." Xiang Yu took over the conversation, his tone sincere, "We will definitely take the questions you raised seriously."

Li, a high-end talent, smiled bitterly: "But, for five years, I have seen people who joined the company later than me get promoted and get salary increases, while I have always been standing still. Is it true that my ability and my efforts are not worth a chance for promotion?"

Although his tone was calm, it revealed an unconcealable sense of loss and unwillingness.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu looked at each other. They knew that what Li Duanren said was true. The company has developed rapidly in recent years, and inevitably there have been some management loopholes, resulting in capable employees like Li Duanren not receiving the attention and rewards they deserve.

"Engineer Li, we understand what you said." Yan Jin said sincerely, "The company has indeed had some management problems recently, but this is not a reason to ignore your contribution."

"We will adjust the company's promotion mechanism as soon as possible to ensure that every employee's efforts can be fairly rewarded." Xiang Yu added, looking firmly at Li Gaodianren, "I hope you can give the company and us another chance."

Li Gaodianren didn't say anything, but just looked down at the teacup in his hand, as if thinking about something.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the box, and a waiter came in carrying some exquisite refreshments.

"Have some tea and eat something first." Yan Jin called out, breaking the slightly solemn atmosphere in the room.

Li Gaoduan picked up the teacup silently and took a sip. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. An unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen.

Li Gaodian hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm..." A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of smile, "I heard that you are planning to change jobs recently?"

Li Gaodian's hand holding the phone froze slightly, and he asked calmly, "Who are you? How do you know my number?"

"We are in the same industry, so it's normal to leave each other contact information, right?" The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, "My last name is Wu, and I'm the HR manager of Xingyao Technology. Our company has admired you for a long time, and we really hope that talents like you can join us."

Xingyao Technology? Li Gaodian's pupils shrank slightly. This company was the biggest competitor of Xiang Group. He was secretly surprised that the other party got the news of his intention to resign so quickly.

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, who were sitting opposite, naturally noticed the abnormality of Li Gaodian. They exchanged glances calmly, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

Wu's competitor's HR continued, "Mr. Li, our company can provide you with better treatment and development platform than you have now. Your annual salary will increase by at least 50%, and your position will be two levels higher than your current one. If you are interested, we can arrange a time for an interview."

Li Gaodianren did not agree immediately. He was silent for a moment and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I haven't thought it through yet."

"It's okay, you can take your time to think about it, we welcome you at any time." Wu's competitor HR spoke in a gentle tone, without showing any impatience because of Li's hesitation. "If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Duanren put the phone back on the table and remained silent.

Seeing this, Yan Jin knew that this was a critical moment, so he said, "Engineer Li, it seems that our company's talent training and promotion mechanism does need to be improved in order to retain outstanding talents like you."

"I have arranged for the company's career planners and trainers to evaluate and optimize the company's existing promotion mechanism." Xiang Yu took over the conversation, his tone solemn, "We will definitely come up with a practical plan as soon as possible to provide all employees with a fair and just development platform."

Li Gaodianren didn't say anything, but just looked at them quietly.

At this time, on the other side of the company, career planner Zheng and trainer Wang were urgently discussing countermeasures.

"This incident has sounded the alarm for us!" Trainer Wang frowned, "If we don't improve the promotion mechanism, I'm afraid more outstanding talents will be lost."

"I have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the company's existing promotion mechanism and found the following problems..." Career Planner Zheng handed a document to Trainer Wang, "First, the promotion standards are not clear enough and rely too much on the subjective evaluation of the supervisor, which can easily lead to unfairness; second, the promotion channel is too single and lacks opportunities for horizontal development, which is not conducive to the diversified development of employees..."

"Your analysis is very accurate." Trainer Wang listened carefully and nodded continuously. "I suggest that we can..."

The two had a heated discussion on improving the company's promotion mechanism.

As the night deepened, the lights in Yan Jin's office were still on.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Come in."

Xiang Yu pushed the door open and walked in. "Are you still busy?"

Yan Jin rubbed his brows, sighed softly, and handed him a document, "Take a look, this is..."

Yan Jin handed a document to Xiang Yu. "This is the preliminary plan that Career Planner Zheng and Trainer Wang worked out overnight. They made some personalized suggestions based on Mr. Li's situation."

Xiang Yu took the document, glanced through it quickly, and frowned slightly. "The plan is good, but time is tight. We must take action as soon as possible to show Mr. Li our sincerity."

Yan Jin nodded, "You're right, we can't delay any longer. Call an emergency meeting, and all department managers and above must attend!"

……

Two hours later, the atmosphere in the conference room became solemn.

"The problem of talent loss in the company is urgent now. Mr. Li's case is just a microcosm." Yan Jin said in a serious tone, "We must take practical actions to optimize the company's promotion mechanism and provide employees with a better development platform in order to retain talent!"

"I propose that we set up a special talent development committee, with General Manager Yan and I in charge, to formulate and improve the company's talent training and promotion mechanism." Xiang Yu added, "At the same time, for outstanding talents like Mr. Li, we should take the initiative to communicate with them, understand their needs, and tailor career development plans for them."

The meeting lasted until late at night and ultimately determined a series of reform measures and response strategies.

After the meeting, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu walked out of the conference room side by side. Neither of them spoke, but they both knew in their hearts that this was only the first step and there would be many challenges in the future.

"You go and have a rest. I'll take care of Engineer Li." Yan Jin said softly.

Xiang Yu looked at her tired expression, and a trace of heartache surged in his heart, "No, I will go with you."

The next morning, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu met with Li Gaodianren together.

"Engineer Li, we are here today to have a sincere talk with you." Yan Jin got straight to the point. "We have learned about your thoughts on career development, and we are also aware of some of the shortcomings in the company's previous talent training and promotion mechanisms."

"We have already started to make improvements and will implement them as soon as possible." Xiang Yu continued, "We hope to work with you to develop a career plan that meets your personal development goals."

Li was silent for a moment. He looked at the two top leaders of the company and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He originally thought that he was just an ordinary employee and his resignation would not attract the attention of the company's top management. He never expected that they would come to talk to him in person and even propose to tailor a career development plan for him.
