After leaving Xingsheng, I went home and took a nap. When I woke up, it was already late. After being disturbed by my former company, I no longer had the leisure to take a vacation. However, I still gave myself a few days to relax before I asked Lily out to discuss work matters.

"We've been waiting for you." Lily took a sip of coffee, looked at me with a smile and said, "Ethan, you will directly take over as the director of our technical department when you come here. You will be able to deploy the manpower and machines at your discretion."

"There are two promotion lines in our company, one is the professional and technical line, and the other is the management line. We respect the personal choices of employees, it depends on how you want to develop."

Hearing this, my eyes lit up. This management style is completely different from Xingsheng, which makes me excited. In the company, I just want to do my professional work well and don't want to participate in the struggle for power. And Hanxing can just meet this requirement of mine.

Of course, I didn't completely believe her one-sided story. So I asked, "Why did the previous director leave?"

" He wants to retire and go home to enjoy his old age." Lily explained, " Jack loves to study, and he chose the professional line. He has been with the company's development all the way and has worked hard for the company all his life. Now he wants to retire, and the chairman also wants us to prepare his retirement benefits so that he can enjoy it well."

" In fact, I found you because Jack met you at an international exhibition a few years ago. At that time, he told me that you have the ability and potential, and you are the most suitable candidate for the next director. He also told me not to miss you."

She said meaningfully: "Our company's senior executives are all visionary and generous people. Although we have strict internal requirements, the overall atmosphere is relatively harmonious. If you want to choose the professional line, the company will not force you to get involved in disputes."

As she was talking, she took out her phone and showed me Jack's appearance. It was indeed someone I had seen before. I nodded to show that I understood.

"So do you have any concerns?" she asked.

"Not for now." I replied.

" Then let me tell you about our salary." Lily said a number, and I was secretly shocked. It was more than 5 times my original salary. But I remained calm on the surface.

"That was just the basic salary," she continued. "After one year, you will also get company options and a year-end bonus. So the total salary is still very considerable. The market conditions are not good now, and I believe that our company's salary will definitely be higher than that of similar companies. I hope you will consider us more."

Lily said was true. I thought about it for a while and finally decided to accept her offer . Later we finalized the details and agreed to start work in a week.

After discussing everything, we finally started to enjoy lunch. During the lunch, we had a great conversation. Lily suddenly said, "Actually, I think Xingsheng is still short-sighted and unrealistic."

I looked at her in confusion. She explained: " Ethan , you have been devoted to professional research and development for these years, and you don't know that the industry has a high opinion of you. We all know that it is because of you that Xingsheng has the current production structure. But Xingsheng is now abandoning you, and this behavior makes many people feel disappointed."

" In addition, I know from my work in this industry that the salary they give you is far from matching. For talents like you and positions like yours, other companies would have offered you two or three times your original salary. Only Xingsheng has been suppressing your salary by relying on your good talk."

Hearing this, I was immediately disappointed. I recalled that before I left, I was grateful to the chairman for his kindness, but now I think it's ridiculous. The Xingsheng team is really ruthless capitalists. Fortunately, I don't have to be exploited by them anymore.

As the saying goes, you can't talk about people during the day. Not long after I separated from Lily, the chairman of Xingsheng called me. I thought about it and picked up the phone.

"Ethan, why are you quitting now?" he asked.
