Chapter 261: Battle, Meeting an Opponent

Chen Mo suddenly understood why Shen Wan said that “a sense of belonging was the most important reason for her to choose him.

For someone who didn’t love the company, no matter how capable they were, it was difficult for them to become an excellent leader.

Because—they were not committed.

Those who wanted to leave couldn’t be retained, and those who didn’t want to

leave didn’t need to be kept.

Choi Yun’s calmness indicated that she realized the reality earlier than him. Chen Mo sighed lightly, realizing that he lacked more than a little. He would have to work harder in the future…

“Are you sure you want to resign?”

“I’m sure.”

“Okay, I agree. Go to the finance department to collect this month’s salary.” This conversation occurred a total of twelve times. Choi Yun’s rapid agreement was so swift that it was almost hard to believe. She decisively waved her hand and signed the document without any hint of hesitation.

Finally, it was Chen Mo’s turn, the last one.

Choi Yun took his resignation letter, without much ado, directly wrote down the word “agree” and signed it neatly, all in one fluid motion.

In the end, she asked him, “When are you flying to Jingping?”

“Tomorrow.”

Choi Yun knew it was settled, she stood up, straightened herself, and extended her right hand. “Congratulations, Director Chen. Please take good care of me in the future.”

Chen Mo shook her hand and replied with a playful tone, “Of course, of course.”

They exchanged smiles.

Choi Yun gathered the scattered resignation letters on the table. “You see, this is why Minya kept losing money. People’s hearts are not in it, how can you make a profit?”

Chen Mo asked, “Does President Shen know?”

“She knew early on, and she couldn’t be happier.”

“Oh?”

Choi Yun gave him a glance. “President Shen has been at Minya for over two months, and apart from firing five employees who were consistently late, she hasn’t made any major moves. Why do you think that is?

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then a bright light flickered in his eyes.

Choi Yun nodded, confirming his speculation. “Minya is like a hollow tree trunk eaten by worms, it looks fine on the surface but is fragile inside. Even if President Shen has a remedy in hand, it’s only a temporary fix. So she chose to wait and take advantage of the situation. Of course, not all Minya employees are useless; there are capable ones like Gao Xi and Zhao Wanhui, but unfortunately, their hearts have already left. Even if they stay, they won’t be of much use.”

Choi Yun opened a folder, stacked the resignation letters together, and closed it with a snap.

To be straightforward was the best approach.

“This remedy can treat the ailment but won’t rescue the company from its dire situation. For the company to make a fresh start, it needs a complete overhaul. Therefore, if someone wishes to depart, I won’t stand in their way.

Chen Mo left the office with admiration and respect for Shen Wan.

“You resigned?!” After hearing the news, Ying Bin, with a small dumpling in his mouth, rushed over to confirm with Chen Mo.

“Yes.”

“You told me to hold on until the end just yesterday, and now you’re chickening out yourself? Oh, so you’ve already found a new job, haven’t you?”

“Of course not!”

“So, why did you abruptly quit all of a sudden? I get it now; you’re abandoning me to face challenges on my own? What happened to our brotherly love, our close bond as buddies? You can’t leave me hanging like this.”

While he complained on the surface, Ying Bin’s tone was not confrontational, and he didn’t take it to heart.

Chen Mo could find a better way out and didn’t have to work as a security guard like him, so Ying Bin genuinely felt happy for his buddy.

But when it came to parting ways, there was indeed a tinge of sadness and a hint of melancholy, accompanied by a subtle reluctance…

“Bin Zi, all I can say is that the resignation is temporary.” “What? Are you planning to come back? Don’t joke around. Minya is about to declare bankruptcy. Once you start at your new company, don’t think about these things. Just work hard, and you’ll make it through. When you re successful, my only request won’t be high – just a few cans of beer and some crayfish.”

“So, what are your plans…”

Ying Bin waved his hand dismissively. “I’ll take it as it comes. We can discuss it when the time comes.”

Chen Mo nodded seriously and emphasized, “Whatever you do, just don’t follow those people in resigning.”

“You little guy, you’re leaving so soon, and you’re still giving me advice?

“Yes!”

“Alright, alright, since you’re good-looking, I’ll listen to you.

When Shen Wan received a call from Yi Hong, she suddenly had a bad feeling, and it turned out to be true.

“There’s been a hiccup in the acquisition process,

Her brow furrowed. “What happened?”

“Some other companies have also contacted Mingda, expressing their interest in acquiring Minya.”

This was strange.

When Minya was stable and uneventful, no one paid any attention to it. Now that the news of bankruptcy had just surfaced, it had suddenly become a hot commodity.

It was unexpected but also somewhat understandable.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of a bargain.

What was odd was that the news of bankruptcy was currently only circulating internally, and there was no word of it in the public domain. In theory, it shouldn’t have attracted attention so quickly.

Unless—

The controllers behind this company had a connection to Mingda, just like her, or maybe they shared the same surname, Shen!

Clearly, Yi Hong also thought of this possibility. “I’ve had someone investigate this company’s details. The legal representative is named Zhou Wei, and according to the business registration, their main business is the sale of cleaning products. In reality, they’ve only rented a single room in an old office building in Ning City’s Second Ring Road and have no fixed factory space.” “So…” Shen Wan’s gaze slightly darkened. “This is a shell company?

“That’s right.”

Shen Wan smiled, “It seems that someone has the same goal as us, wanting to devour Minya, the prime cut of meat.”

Yi Hong chuckled at her metaphor, and the tension in the atmosphere eased a bit. Being able to make jokes in this situation indicated that things weren’t as dire as they seemed.

“What’s your plan for the next steps?”

Shen Wan sighed lightly. “We’re in for a tough battle…”

At the same time, Shen Ru also received the news.

“…The other party is a technology company from Beihai. Their registered capital is not low, and the offer they’ve given is two percent higher than ours,” Li Wenjin said, standing still with his hands down, waiting for the woman behind the office desk to speak.

Shen Ru remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, she furrowed her brows deeply. “Wenjin, don’t you find this situation… very strange?”

The man pondered for a moment. “Since the other party is a company from Beihai, they shouldn’t have received the news so quickly and proposed the acquisition at this critical moment.”

“It seems like there’s a rat in the jar, trying to steal our rice.” Her narrow eyes half-closed, revealing a sense of menace.

Li Wenjin asked, “Who do you think it could be?”

Shen Ru’s first instinct was the group of old men in the board of directors. She thought for a moment and mentioned a few names of the directors. “…They have always been dissatisfied with the Shen family’s control. In the past, they even tried to bypass Old Master Shen and remove the President from office. Unfortunately, they failed and faced a setback. Although they have been relatively quiet in recent years, they have continued to make moves behind the scenes.”

“Okay, I’ll investigate right away.”

“Wait-” Shen Ru stopped him. “Raise our offer to match theirs, stall for time, and see how the other party reacts.”

The man furrowed his brows, feeling that something was amiss.

Shen Ru said firmly, “Speak up if you have any concerns. You know I don’t like beating around the bush.”

“The bidding for the Red Asia Village Industrial Park is approaching, and Mingda wants to make a move as soon as possible. They might be dressing up their financial data, and we might not have enough time to delay..”
