Chapter 260.’ Why Me? A Grand Resign

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As for the CEO position, Shen Wan naturally wanted to entrust it to her trusted confidant. Hiring a professional manager would undoubtedly be more convenient, but the costs were exorbitant, and the synergy between individuals might not be sufficient.

Of course, synergy and habits could be cultivated, but that would take time, and right now, Shen Wan’s most precious commodity was time; she couldn’t afford to waste a single minute.

She looked at Chen Mo and said, “If you are willing, I will arrange for you to attend a forty-day management course in Jingping as soon as possible. After it’s over, you will formally take over Mingya. Now, you answer me, do you want to do it or not? Rest assured, there is no compulsion here, and I respect your decision.”

Chen Mo finally understood why Shen Wan had let him in directly. Looking at the situation, even if he hadn’t approached her himself, he would still be called in sooner or later.

Now, it was all because of his initiative that things had happened ahead of schedule.

“I have a question.” Chen Mo raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on Shen Wan.

“Go ahead.”

“Why me?” This question might sound a bit ungrateful, but it came from him with a sense of seriousness and sincerity.

It was not a question forced by circumstances but a doubt about his own qualifications.

Choi Yun and Miao Miao exchanged a glance and stood up simultaneously. “We’ll leave you two alone…”

Soon, the spacious office was left with just Shen Wan and Chen Mo.

“Three reasons.”

Chen Mo was slightly surprised, but there was a glimmer in his eyes.

“First, you’re intelligent and adept at handling people. This can be seen from your colleagues’ attitudes. When it comes to promotions, they would speak ill of Miao Miao, and complain about Choi Yun’s strictness, but they only have congratulations and warm smiles for you. Have you ever wondered why?” Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. He had always maintained a balanced distance in his interactions with colleagues, but he had never expected such a significant outcome…

“As the saying goes, ‘Distance makes the heart grow fonder’,” Shen Wan answered for him. “When people interact, they often either become too close or hold grudges when they’re distant. Only by maintaining the right distance can one adeptly manage interpersonal relationships, and you’ve done it excellently.”

Chen Mo nodded. “But how does this relate to managing the company?” “A great manager not only needs intelligence but also emotional intelligence.

They must find the right distance with their subordinates to appear approachable yet authoritative.”

Chen Mo understood.

“Second, your professional skills are outstanding, and your vision and aesthetic sense are unparalleled. I’ve seen the advertising shorts you’ve produced, and even with pure animation, you’ve achieved perfection. Entrusting the company to you, I believe the overall business performance and self-expectations of everyone from top to bottom will improve significantly. Just on this point, it’s a hundred times better than hiring a professional manager who lacks expertise.

The third, and most important reason, is your sense of belonging to Mingya. I could see it from the fact that you knocked on the door and walked in today, your hesitation, and your willingness to speak your mind.”

Chen Mo lowered his gaze, silently deep in thought.

Shen Wan didn’t rush him and waited patiently.

After a while, he raised his head, his eyes clear and determined. “I want to do it.”

To this, Shen Wan neither showed surprise nor astonishment. Instead, she appeared somewhat stern. “Are you sure you’ve thought this through? Once you take on this role, it means you’ll be responsible for this company and all its employees. You might end up working endlessly, day and night, with no time for dates with your girlfriend, dinners with friends, or even sparing moments for your family…”ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“President Shen, I’ve considered all of these,”

“Is that so?” Shen Wan raised an eyebrow, her intentions unclear.

A glint of determination appeared in Chen Mo’s eyes. “I’m not afraid of overtime, and I don’t mind the hard work. I’m currently single and have no plans to get married in the next ten years. I have no significant other, and no habit of dining out with friends. As for family, my parents are healthy and have their own jobs; they are busier than I am most of the time.”

Good, tomorrow you can submit your resignation letter to Choi Yun, and the day after tomorrow, your plane ticket will take you to Jingping.”

“I thought you might be constipated. Did you spend a whole forty minutes in the restroom mining diamonds?” Chen Mo returned to his seat, and a male colleague from the next cubicle poked his head out, grinning.

“Ying Bin, what are your plans if Mingya really goes bankrupt?”

“I just told you earlier that I’ll become a security guard! With my physique, if I stand at the door, not even a dog would dare to come in.” Ying Bin was a typical northern man, tall and sturdy, with a cheerful personality.

“Well, since there’s no better option, stick it out until the end and leave only if you can’t endure it anymore,” Chen Mo said with a serious expression.

“Whoa, why so serious? You’re making it sound like you’re giving your last words…”

“Anyway, remember what I said today. It won’t harm you in any case!” Alright, alright, I got it!” Ying Bin nodded repeatedly. “Look at you, so tense…” Chen Mo had said all he could.

Whether Ying Bin could hold out until the day he returned to take over Mingya would depend on fate.

The next morning, Chen Mo arrived at the company half an hour earlier than usual. He had thought that at this time, most people wouldn’t be around, and he could resign without attracting a crowd like a spectacle.

However, to his surprise, there were quite a few people who had arrived even earlier. Groups of three or four were gathered in front of Choi Yun’s office, waiting. As soon as they saw him, they started asking questions.

“Hey, are you here to resign too?”

Yeah, I just confirmed with my new employer yesterday, and they want me to start as soon as possible.”

“Which advertising agency is it?”

The person mentioned the agency’s name.

“Not bad, it’s quite large. What position did they offer you?”

After experiencing several days of bankruptcy rumors, everyone had transitioned from anxiety to gradually accepting the reality, and now they had reached a point of nonchalance and indifference.

Chen Mo was initially taken aback by the current situation, but upon further thought, he wasn’t surprised anymore.

Seeking profit and avoiding harm is human nature.

However, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret for these people. Many times, with a bit more patience and stability, the outcome might have been entirely different.

“Hey? Chen Mo, are you resigning too?” Someone quickly noticed Chen Mo in the corner.

He nodded and made a soft sound of affirmation.

“Believe me, what you’re doing is absolutely wise. Instead of waiting for the company to go bankrupt, it’s better to withdraw early. Can you give me a hint about which company has recruited you? I promise not to spread the word.” Chen Mo shook his head.

“Oh.” The female colleague’s expression turned cold, “if you don’t want to say forget it.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to say, it’s that there isn’t one.”

“What?”

I haven t been poached by another company.”

“Is that true? Then why are you resigning?!”

Chen Mo smiled and didn’t say anything. The female colleague walked away, thinking to herself that this person might be a bit foolish. There was a saying that stated, “Ride a donkey to search for a horse,” but he seemed to have thrown away the “donkey” without finding the “horse.”

At exactly 8 o’clock, Choi Yun arrived at the company.

Seeing the situation outside his office, she wasn’t surprised at all and simply said, “Line up, one at a time.”

Chen Mo roughly counted and found that there were a staggering twelve people ahead of him in the queue. Among them were the head of the design department, Gao Xi, and the head of the customer department, Zhao Wanhui Both of them were key figures and had been doing quite well at Mingya. It was unexpected to see them resigning. They were currently chatting and laughing with others, showing no signs of attachment or reluctance on their faces..
