Chapter 491: 477 for Xue Yi

Xingyue laid off employees.

This news caught everyone by surprise.

All departments below the ninth floor were in panic.

"The company’s actions are so drastic! Yan Yueqing came yesterday morning, the meeting was held at noon, the boss went in yesterday afternoon, and the layoffs were notified this morning?!"

"Several old employees from the finance department have been called to discuss their resignation!"

"Our department too! The leader called several people over, could it be that I’ll be the next one to be notified?!"

"Did Yan Yueqing come here to cripple Xingyue?"

"Is Xingyue going to follow Zhongxing’s path?"

"That’s not right! Zhongxing’s employees left voluntarily, but our company is being forcefully laid off by the boss! The roof is locked, probably because they’re afraid someone will jump off the building..."

"I thought Yan Yueqing came here to save everyone? Who knew... so many troubles have been caused, maybe Xingyue is about to close down, right?"

Xingyue’s employees, especially those who had been with the company for decades, who could believe the company would suddenly go through such extensive layoffs?!

Which company carries out layoffs so swiftly?

Isn’t it always done secretly in a small meeting, then the higher-ups tightly guard the information, fearful of employee revolt?!

Moreover, they are an entertainment company, usually with many rivals, and they have quite a few fans following them.

Initiating such a rapid and sudden wave, aren’t they afraid of causing a major incident?!

No matter how tense the situation below became, Yan Yueqing on the ninth floor was still calmly drinking her tea.

She had just finished talking to Jun Lii and was looking over some new contracts in front of her.

Zhou Jue knocked on the door and came in, politely saying, "President Yue."

"Good morning," Yan Yueqing greeted him and asked him to sit, "Tea or coffee?"

"Tea would be fine," Zhou Jue sat opposite to her.

Yan Yueqing poured him a cup and handed it over: "How was it today? The people in the company must be quite agitated."

Zhou Jue frowned slightly: "It’s quite intense, but within controllable limits."

Layoffs sound scary, but as long as enough compensation is provided, many are in the know and won’t kick up too much of a fuss.

Those who don’t want to go are mostly old-timers in the company, who have got used to showing off their seniority, and with backing, they really don’t believe the company would kick them out when it’s doing well.

Yan Yueqing smiled playfully: "Their protectors mostly left the company yesterday. Do they still expect me to keep them?"

Zhou Jue thought for a moment: "Perhaps...they think that being new, President Yue, you aren’t aware of everyone’s background."

Yan Yueqing said with a profound meaning: "I made sure to prepare before I came."

There was little change among the grassroots employees, as they are not involved with the company’s core. But for the middle and upper management, she had a general understanding, and with the intelligence network, she knew clearly who belonged to whom.

Now that it had come to layoffs, Yan Yueqing had no intention of holding back.

The weeds and trash that need to be cut must be completely eradicated before the rot spreads too deeply.

Yan Yueqing was no longer concerned with the layoffs; as the boss, she could just give the order, and the specifics would be clearly handled by the people below.

If she had to worry about everything, there really wouldn’t be much point in Xingyue’s existence.

Ouyang Long had been confused about Feng Long’s matters. Now he was trying to make up for it! He handled the layoffs with particular care and would surely not cause her any concern.

Yan Yueqing handed Zhou Jue a new contract: "I called you here to take a look at this."

"Artist contract?" Zhou Jue took it, glanced over it briefly, and his expression changed from shock to delight, "Our artists can actually collaborate with Zhongxing? These commercial performances... aren’t they a bit too good?! Wow... these two endorsements... are things I’ve never even considered!"

Yan Yueqing asked, "I plan to give all of these to Xue Yi."

"Ah?!" Zhou Jue was stunned and answered in disbelief, "All of them?"
