At that moment, Zhou Dahai, the leader of the departing team, openly expressed his dissatisfaction with Tong Le. Was calling us here just to stare at each other? Did he not realize our time was valuable? Ke Zong would never act this way. I truly couldn't understand why he went through so much trouble to get Ke Zong away from Si Li—was it really for the good of Tongshan Real Estate?
Zhou Dahai scoffed, thinking that a housewife could understand anything! What nonsense!
The confidence of the greasy middle-aged man always led him to believe that his few words could enlighten a self-righteous housewife.
Tong Le showed no sign of emotion; she remained as composed as a seasoned professional who had navigated the workplace for years, her heart as cold as Dai Run Fa's fish-slicing knife.
Tong Le directly addressed Zhou Dahai, stating, "If you want to leave so badly, you can go to HR right now and complete your resignation process. I don’t think we need to discuss this any further. Please leave."
With a slight smile, her casual demeanor left Zhou Dahai utterly confused.
Of course, Zhou Dahai wouldn’t indulge Tong Le. He stood up and was about to leave but turned back to glance at her, thinking she was trying to provoke him.
Seeing that Tong Le had nothing more to say, he directed his anger at Peng Jun and Han Sister, commanding them, "You two can leave too! What are you waiting for?"
Tong Le interjected, "Peng Jun and Han Sister haven’t even negotiated with me yet. Or do you want to leave with the label of inciting trouble and forcing your colleagues out?"
She pointed at the surveillance cameras in the conference room. "It’s all being recorded. Don’t make this look too bad; it won’t help your resignation."
Having been bested by Tong Le, Zhou Dahai dared not continue his outburst.
Meanwhile, outside the conference room, Hou Yi had just returned from washing his face and was blocking the door. He knocked but received no response; he kicked the door but no one answered. No matter how much he raged, no one paid him any mind.
Tong Le peeked towards the door; the handsome man who had looked so composed just minutes ago now appeared as if he had just escaped from a mental institution.
Zhou Dahai ignored Hou Yi; after all, he wasn’t familiar with him. He simply unlocked the door.
With a belly full of anger, Hou Yi collided with Zhou Dahai as he entered. He pushed Zhou Dahai’s shoulder hard enough to make a point.
Zhou Dahai was already simmering with anger; being confronted by Hou Yi only fueled his frustration further. After all, he was preparing to resign—he wouldn’t tolerate anyone!
Zhou Dahai shouted at Hou Yi, "Are you blind or something?"
Hou Yi paused for a moment; it was rare for someone to confront him so boldly.
He grabbed Zhou Dahai by the collar and growled fiercely, "You’re looking for trouble!"
Tong Le glanced at the door again. She initially wanted to intervene but reconsidered when she thought about how Zhou Dahai had intentionally provoked trouble during such a critical time for Si while siding with that scoundrel Ke Jie. She dismissed any thoughts of saving him.
She observed that just outside the conference room was a perfect blind spot for the cameras—nothing would be captured.
Soon enough, anguished cries from Zhou Dahai echoed from outside the conference room. Seizing the opportunity, Tong Le turned to speak with Peng Jun and Han Sister. "Tsk tsk, Zhou Dahai is quite stubborn. If he wants to resign, then let him go—but now he's fighting? Hou Yi isn’t holding back; what if he ends up brain damaged? Si would have to pay compensation."
Tong Le sighed but thought it didn’t matter; Si had money. If they needed to pay some compensation, so be it—after all, he brought this upon himself by provoking someone he shouldn’t have.
Peng Jun and Han Sister exchanged a glance, their eyes suddenly filled with uncertainty.
Tong Le turned to Peng Jun and said, "It's your turn. Why do you want to resign?"
Peng Jun quickly snapped back to reality. "Uh, I... I want to resign because..."
Tong Le interjected, smiling, "No need to be nervous. Resigning won't get you in trouble as long as your reason is reasonable. Whether it's personal matters or something else, I'm open to discussion. As long as you're not being incited by someone else or trying to stir up trouble, I can accept it."
Gathering his courage, Peng Jun replied, "Well, I just simply want to resign for personal reasons that I can't really explain."
Tong Le nodded. "I understand. I can't force you to stay, can I?"
Then Tong Le turned his attention to Han Sister and asked, "I remember you used to assist Zhou Dahai, right? After that, you became skilled enough to manage a new department as a branch of Zhou Dahai's work?"
Han Sister nodded in agreement. "Yes."
Tong Le continued, "So that means you have a good understanding of the projects Zhou Dahai is responsible for."
Han Sister nodded again. "Sort of."
Tong Le stated directly, "Then how about this? I'll offer you double the salary to take over Zhou Dahai's position. I think you're a good fit—steady, practical, patient, and with a good temperament. It's time for a raise."
Jiang Zhichao immediately caught on to Tong Le's intention and chimed in as an ally, "Wow, I'm really envious! Some people get reprimanded for resigning while others get promoted and receive raises. What a difference in treatment!"
Suddenly, Peng Jun felt displeased. "Why does Sister Youyou get double the salary? I can do Zhou Dahai's job too! I was once his subordinate! After training, I also managed an independent department!"
Tong Le pretended to be clueless. "Didn't you just say you wanted to resign?"
