Chapter 82: Plans Have Changed

The Human Resources manager glanced at the others and, emboldened, said: "I heard that our group is going to move its headquarters to Fengcheng. I thought about it carefully; my wife and children are all in Beishi. No matter what, Beishi is the center of the country, and the educational resources are definitely good, so... I don't want to go to Fengcheng and live apart from my wife and children."

The others nodded in agreement one after another.

Han Yangting sneered, "Who told you that the group headquarters is moving?"

"Everyone is saying so, and the news says the same," the HR manager said.

"Then have I ever said such a thing?" Han Yangting asked.

The people below looked at each other; President Han had indeed never said it, but he certainly wouldn't say it himself—if he were to say it, things would definitely be in chaos.

At this moment, the Sales Director also gathered the courage to ask: "Then, President Han, why have you been staying in Fengcheng for the past six months?"

Han Yangting said indifferently: "My newlywed wife is in Fengcheng."

This reason was powerful enough; they were all men, they understood.

Han Yangting rested one hand on the armrest of his chair, his slender fingers tapping lightly upon it: "So, you are all unwilling to go to Fengcheng?"

The Purchasing Department director also spoke up: "That's right, it's impossible for us to go. Our families and friends are all in Beishi. If I go, what will happen at home? My son is in his adolescence; if I leave, there will be even less of a way to manage him."

Han Yangting looked at the people below and added: "Fine, then I will clarify this with you once here: Fengcheng is merely for industrial upgrading and expansion, not for moving everyone there directly. Even if you are required to go, it will only be for occasional business trips. I will not approve your resignation applications for now. I am giving you ten days to consider. When the time comes, those who want to leave, I will not keep; those who want to stay, Baiyin Group will not treat you unfairly."

The meeting ended, and Han Yangting looked down at the city from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 50th floor.

His gaze grew increasingly profound.

"President Han, Vice President Ye has arrived and is waiting in your office," Susan came over to report.

"Good, I'll be right there. By the way, buy a milk tea for Vice President Ye, with a croissant."

"Understood."

Han Yangting returned to his office and saw that Ye Caiyue was already sitting on the sofa in his office. At 170cm tall, Ye Caiyue, still possessing her charm, was dignified and noble wherever she went.

"Mom." Han Yangting walked over to Ye Caiyue and sat down.

Seeing Han Yangting, Ye Caiyue's eyes filled with a smile.

She was very satisfied with this son; every time she saw him, she felt very proud.

"Did you come back alone? Why didn't you bring Ruoruo back?" Ye Caiyue asked.

"She has to work overtime; she recently took on a design project."

Ye Caiyue frowned: "It's so tiring; it would be better to let her come work for us."

"If she really came, I'm afraid she wouldn't get real training, and it would harm her instead."

"You really are something; I don't know if you're truly doting on her or just pretending," Ye Caiyue laughed.

"It's definitely true doting. Your son doesn't have it easy either; clearly a big CEO, yet I keep being mistaken for a construction foreman."

"What is the situation in Fengcheng now? Are you still staying on the construction site every day?"

"Not anymore, Ali and Ling Feng are keeping an eye on it now."

Ye Caiyue smiled: "It seems your previous plan to move the headquarters to Fengcheng cannot be completed. I have also communicated with the company's shareholders, and not a single one is willing to move, so Fengcheng can only serve as a branch."

Han Yangting leaned back on the sofa, looking exhausted: "Yes, I originally thought that after the building was finished, we would move slowly. I didn't expect Second Uncle to stir things up like this; now I'm afraid no one is willing to go to Fengcheng."

"That branch of the family is just afraid the world won't be in chaos!" Ye Caiying said indignantly.

Only in front of her son would she reveal her emotions.

At this time, Susan entered, handing over two cups of milk tea with half a cup of pearls, and two croissants.

Seeing this, Ye Caiyue couldn't help but laugh: "My son is still the most thoughtful, always remembering what I like."

"Of course I remember; you like the pearls in the pearl milk tea, and the croissants from Starbucks."

"But one shouldn't eat them often; eating too much will make one fat." Although Ye Caiyue said this, her body was very honest; she was already sipping the milk tea and gnawing on the croissant.

Han Yangting couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, is Second Uncle planning to start a new company and poach our people?" Han Yangting asked again.

Ye Caiyue, while elegantly eating her croissant, said: "That is exactly what they are planning. On one hand, they are spreading rumors in the group that we are moving the headquarters, and on the other, they are starting a new company, thinking that by poaching a few people, they can topple us. What they are doing is simply a fantasy!"

"Mom, don't get angry and ruin your health."

"Naturally I won't. I have been through a hundred battles, how could I still be afraid of them?" Ye Caiyue took another sip of milk tea.

Han Yangting added: "The only thing I'm unhappy about now is that the Fengcheng plan might have to be delayed."

"There's no need to be so anxious," Ye Caiyue said: "As long as your building is finished, it will always have its use. You can also replicate an identical Baiyin Group, but Beishi cannot be moved for the time being, and you must stay stationed at the group during this period."

"Good, it's the end of the year now. I will have the Publicity Department plan well so that the employees know there is no problem with Baiyin Group."

On Sunday, Bai Shuruo only had a half-day off.

Once this project started, she was busy until she was overwhelmed, but she had not forgotten her sister, Bai Shunan.

Leaving the company at noon, she called Bai Shunan: "Sister, I'm so sorry. I've been too busy lately, and I'm only calling you today. Have you really resigned?"

Bai Shunan's tone sounded quite relaxed: "That's right, Ruoruo, I've already resigned and am at home now."

"Then can I come to your place to see you?"

"It's rare for you to have a break; don't you need to accompany your husband?"

"He went back to Beishi."

"So Ruoruo is lonely, then. Since that's the case, come over; sister can keep you company."

"Sister, have you eaten? If not, I'll make chicken soup for you."

"Oh my, I forgot even that; I haven't even eaten breakfast."

"Then wait for me, I'll be there in half an hour."

Bai Shuruo first took a taxi to Bai Shunan's building, bought half a chicken and various side dishes at a nearby grocery store, and then carried them up.

Bai Shunan was wearing casual loungewear today, her long hair tied into a bun, wearing black-rimmed glasses. Even without makeup, Bai Shuruo felt her sister's aura was two meters high.

"Sister, didn't you resign? Why are you still busy?" After entering, Bai Shuruo saw a laptop on Bai Shunan's sofa, with the screen showing a work page.
