My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot
Chapter 309: Kicked Out of Chengzhou

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Kicked Out of Chengzhou

There were two people left: one was Cao Zhijie, and the other was Yu Baoceng, who was also slogging along with Zhou Xueyi.

To Yu Baoceng’s surprise, he found out today that the whole team had been disbanded.

Yu Baoceng panicked—where would he go now? Which department would he join?

Could he go back to his former department?

While Yu Baoceng was grappling with his worries, Yu Zeqin took the initiative to contact him.

"Assistant Yu!" Yu Baoceng, worried about not knowing whom to ask, said, "Assistant Yu, our department is dissolved, what about me... what am I going to do? Can I go back to my previous department?"

"I’m here to talk to you about this," said Yu Zeqin. "You’re given two choices now."

"One is to resign voluntarily, but the company will offer you compensation equivalent to three months’ salary, as if you were laid off. It won’t impact your job search in the future. The other option is you can return to your original department. However, you must sign a confidentiality agreement. If you disclose any information about the company, remember, I’m talking about the entire group’s affairs, not just your department’s—you’ll face a hefty fine."

"This ’anyone else’ refers to..." Yu Baoceng thought of a name.

Yu Zeqin gave a faint smile, "That includes, but is not limited to, Director Zhou Xueyi. As for the range, it will be clearly stated in the contract. Lawyer Sheng is very good in this regard."

They definitely couldn’t allow Yu Baoceng to find a loophole.

Yu Baoceng: "..."

"Think it over and let me know by tomorrow morning at the latest," Yu Zeqin said.

"I’ll stay!" Yu Baoceng hurriedly said, "I’ll sign the confidentiality agreement."

He wouldn’t find a job with better conditions than Chengzhou’s anywhere else.

Chengzhou offered the highest salaries in the industry.

He had followed Zhou Xueyi before, just trying to secure a better future for himself.

But now that Zhou Xueyi himself had no future, of course, he would just focus on doing a good job.

What’s there to fear about signing the agreement?

As long as he didn’t spill any company secrets, wouldn’t that be fine?

"Assistant Yu, when do we sign? Do we sign now?" Yu Baoceng asked.

"We can sign now," said Yu Zeqin. "The contract is ready. Come with me."

Yu Baoceng heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed Yu Zeqin.

Unexpectedly, on the way, they ran into Cao Zhijie, who had a gloomy expression.

Seeing Yu Baoceng following Yu Zeqin, Cao Zhijie’s expression changed. "Yu Baoceng, where are you going?"

Yu Baoceng thought he hadn’t signed the agreement yet, and besides, it shouldn’t need to be kept secret, so he said, "I’m going back to my original department. But I have to sign a confidentiality agreement first—I can’t say more than that."

Yu Baoceng was delighted, thinking that Yu Zeqin must be very satisfied with his performance.

Yu Zeqin twitched his mouth slightly: "..."

"Assistant Cao, what about you?" Now that Yu Baoceng had a destination, he had the leisure to be concerned about Cao Zhijie.

With pursed lips, Cao Zhijie got a nonchalant response from Yu Zeqin, "You needn’t worry about him. Chairman Zhou has his own businesses outside, and Assistant Cao is Chairman Zhou’s confidant; naturally, he will follow Chairman Zhou."

Cao Zhijie didn’t expect Yu Zeqin to know even this.

It seemed Chengzhou was also not planning to keep him.

Cao Zhijie could only head to Zhou Xueyi’s office with a dark cloud over his face.

He worked for Zhou Xueyi; surely Zhou Xueyi couldn’t just abandon him.

Yu Zeqin led Yu Baoceng to sign the agreement.

Meanwhile, Zhou Shuyan’s office was stormed by an enraged Zhou Xueyi.

"Zhou Shuyan, what do you mean by this!" Zhou Xueyi angrily confronted Zhou Shuyan, "How dare you kick me out of the company directly!"

"Second Uncle, we have to give Jing University an explanation for this matter," Zhou Shuyan had anticipated Zhou Xueyi’s arrival; he sat composedly behind his desk and spoke calmly, "Since you’ve wronged the people from Little Pink Book, you must take responsibility for your actions. Chengzhou can’t protect you in this."

"Jing University isn’t just any educational institution; it’s the top university in Hua Country. Countless talents have emerged from Jing University," Zhou Shuyan continued indifferently, "including very important scientists for Hua Country and well-known businesspeople in the commercial world. Moreover, most children from major families have also graduated from Jing University."

"Of course, that includes me," Zhou Shuyan said. "Alumni from Jing University have a very deep sense of belonging to their alma mater. If Jing University can’t get a proper apology over this issue, and it decides to call on alumni for a response, Chengzhou really won’t be able to protect you then."

"At least now you’re just no longer working at Chengzhou. But when Jing University takes action and holds you accountable, think about your own company—will it still be viable in the industry? Even Chengzhou won’t be able to help you at that point," Zhou Shuyan said smoothly.

Zhou Xueyi was shocked—he had completely forgotten this point.

Clenching his teeth, he still didn’t give up and said, "Would Jing University really make such a big fuss just for those three students?"

"Second Uncle," Zhou Shuyan patiently explained, "what you’ve done has harmed not just the honor of those three students but also the reputation of Jing University. Not to mention that those students are only freshmen and have already achieved so much, bringing honor to Jing University. Little Pink Book was officially recognized by Jing University’s leadership and received their support. Your claims about Little Pink Book’s dubious origins amount to slapping Jing University in the face."

"Is Jing University going to let this slide? What, are you suggesting that Jing University supports thieves and swindlers? That it endorses software obtained through illegitimate means to glorify itself? Are Jing University’s students all of petty and dishonorable character? Can Jing University swallow such an insult?"

"If I didn’t resolve this matter before Jing University reaches out to Chengzhou, should we just wait for them to come knocking? By then, it won’t be so easy to resolve. Taking action now means we’re apologizing proactively; if Jing University reaches out, we become the passive party."

"This is a simple truth, Second Uncle. Can’t you understand?" Zhou Shuyan sighed, as if he saw Zhou Xueyi as a lost cause.

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

He admitted that he hadn’t thought things through, but Zhou Shuyan didn’t need to take such a tone!

However, at this moment, Zhou Xueyi was at a loss for words.

Zhou Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It’s fortunate that you never really had any real power in the company; you didn’t accomplish anything within the supervisory group. Even if you resign, it won’t be a loss to the company."

Zhou Xueyi was not foolish—he could hear the implication.

Zhou Shuyan was mocking him for being useless to the company.

Previously, he had just occupied a position in the company without contributing anything!

Zhou Xueyi was fuming, "Zhou Shuyan, enough is enough!"

But Zhou Shuyan’s demeanour turned serious, and he suddenly said, "I will speak to Grandpa about this matter."
