Faced with Yan Shijing's invitation, Ling Xiao naturally agreed.

They made an appointment to go swimming tomorrow afternoon.

The next morning, Ling Xiao came to the company early as usual.

Just when he was about to hold a meeting with all employees, Xiao Li, an employee who had just joined the company, came to him hesitantly.

Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Ling Xiao asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Li? Is there something wrong?"

I saw Xiao Li struggling for a while, and then said: "The boss is like this. I want to resign after these two days. Because I am still in the probation period, so I can tell you three days in advance, right?"

Ling Xiao felt very surprised.

Because this employee has only been here for less than three days.

Moreover, it was Chen Xueer who helped with the interview, and both the salary and benefits were better than those outside.

As for him, he also expressed his intention to develop a brand new game.

Why are you suddenly resigning now?

This made Ling Xiao feel confused.

So he asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Xiao Li shook his head and said: "It's okay, I just had something happen at home suddenly, so I wanted to go home."

"That's okay. You can take leave and go home, and then come back to work after settling your affairs at home." Ling Xiao said generously.

But it seems that this proposal was not adopted by Xiao Li.

Xiao Li still insisted: "Boss, why don't I resign? I don't want to delay the company's progress."

When Ling Xiao saw Xiao Li being so determined, he didn't know what to say.

So he said: "Okay, then you can handle the work with Lin Dong later, and then Xiaoxia will settle the settlement for you."

"Thank you, boss, I'm sorry." After saying that, Xiao Li left.

Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention to the departure of this new employee.

After all, in the workplace, comings and goings are always normal.

But when I got off work at noon, another employee came up to Ling Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, I want to tell you that I want to resign. Is it okay to leave next week?"

Ling Xiao looked at the man in front of him, a little surprised this time.

Because this employee was one of the first batch he recruited when he established the studio.

He can be regarded as a veteran-level figure.

Both wages and benefits are much higher than those in the outside market.

Ling Xiao's purpose is also very simple, that is, to allow them to develop a game in peace and contentment.

But what I didn't expect was that he was leaving the studio too.

This time Ling Xiao felt something was wrong.

So he asked: "Xiao Hai, what's the matter? Why do you have to resign if you are so good?"

I saw this Xiaohai employee hesitating: "I, I want to go back to my hometown to develop."

When Ling Xiao heard this, he knew that this was not the truth.

But he still nodded and said: "Okay, then you go and talk to Lin Dong, and then we can hand over the work and so on."

Xiaohai was very grateful after hearing this.

Before leaving, he originally wanted to say something, but in the end he walked out of the office.

After a while, Lin Dong came over anxiously.

He hurriedly asked Ling Xiao: "What's going on? Why do two of them say they want to resign today?"

Ling Xiao also shook his head: "I don't know either."

But he said firmly: "I feel there must be something evil in this."

Lin Dong also said: "What should we do? I also feel that there must be a problem here. It is impossible for us to ask these resigned employees in person."

"There's no rush." ​​Ling Xiao said calmly, "Let's take a look at the situation."

But Lin Dong was a little worried: "If this continues, will our studio be able to open? The enemy is hiding, but we are hiding."

At this moment, Hu Xiaoxia walked in.

When Lin Dong saw Hu Xiaoxia walking in, his first sentence was to ask: "Xiaoxia, don't tell me that you have to leave too."

Hu Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I just came to show Brother Xiao the financial salary slips of our two resigned employees."

Ling Xiao took the pay slip from Hu Xiaoxia, looked at it carefully, and then said, "No problem."

"Okay." Hu Xiaoxia then took the pay slip and prepared to leave.

At this time, Ling Xiao stopped her: "Xiaoxia, wait a moment."

Hu Xiaoxia turned her head and looked at them.

Ling Xiao asked: "Has anyone been trying to find you a new job in the past two days?"

Lin Dong did not expect Ling Xiao to directly ask Hu Xiaoxia face to face.

Hu Xiaoxia was also a little surprised, then she hesitated and finally said: "Yes."

When Lin Dong heard this, he quickly asked: "Who? Which company?"

Hu Xiaoxia immediately said: "It's Hengke Group."

"Hengke Group?!" Ling Xiao and Lin Dong both said the name of the group in unison.

They are all too familiar with this name.

Because their previous old employer, Red Star Technology, was a branch of Hengke Group.

Lin Dong wanted to ask more details: "Why does Hengke Group want you to change jobs? We don't seem to have much interaction with Hengke Group."

Hu Xiaoxia shook her head: "I don't know. A manager who claimed to be the HR department came to me and asked me if I would like to work at Hengke Group. The salary will be increased by about 40%."

Ling Xiao listened to her words and asked, "Then how do you answer?"

"I was really excited at first. After all, my salary was increased by nearly half." Hu Xiaoxia explained.

When Lin Dong heard this, he felt very sad.

"But." Hu Xiaoxia said at this time: "After Brother Xiao and Brother Dong established this studio, I was the first person they hired. I can't be so treacherous. If this is the case, then I will no longer be myself."

"So I thought about it and refused in the end." Hu Xiaoxia explained.

Lin Dong was very happy when he heard this.

He even excitedly stepped forward and hugged Hu Xiaoxia.

Then Hu Xiaoxia also said at this time: "I also feel that I can work under Brother Xiao and Brother Dong without too many constraints, and..."

When she said this, Hu Xiaoxia still looked at Lin Dong affectionately.

Lin Dong naturally understood the meaning of this look.

He was immediately sure that Hu Xiaoxia liked him.

When Ling Xiao learned that Hengke Group was responsible, he immediately understood that Chen Yunhai must be behind this.

The purpose is to let yourself retreat when faced with difficulties.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a third employee had already asked to leave.

When Ling Xiao was signing the resignation form, he casually mentioned: "How much salary will Hengke Group give you?"

The third employee who resigned was obviously a little panicked when he heard this.

Obviously, people at Hengke Group told these resigned employees not to reveal these things.

But for the sake of Ling Xiao taking care of him these days, the resigned employee finally said: "The salary is increased by 35% compared to the current salary."

Ling Xiao nodded, then smiled: "Well, I wish you a bright future, make a lot of money and marry a wife."

The resigned employees felt very guilty when they heard Ling Xiao's blessing.

Then he bowed slightly and said thanks: "Thank you, Brother Xiao. If there is a chance in the future, I will treat you to dinner."

"Okay, I will definitely do it when I have the opportunity in the future." Ling Xiao said politely.

Just like that, at the end of the day, three technical employees were gone from the studio.

Ling Xiao knew that this was Chen Yunhai's first move.

Then he will take new actions.

But Ling Xiao remained unchanged in response to the ever-changing situation. He first kept his footing and observed the opponent's moves before proceeding.

So he asked Lin Dong to continue to find new employees, and the work progress on the new game could not be slowed down.

Soon, it was time to get off work.

Yan Shijing also prepared her swimsuit and asked Ling Xiao on WeChat.

Yan Shijing:【Are you ready?】

Ling Xiao also replied: [Okay.]

Although today was a difficult day, he promised Yan Shijing to go swimming together, and he would keep his promise.

When Yan Shijing came downstairs to the company, Ling Xiao happened to walk out of the office building.

Yan Shijing said happily: "I paid the manuscript fee this month, which is a full 15,000 yuan."

Ling Xiao was also surprised: "So many?"

"Of course~" Yan Shijing said happily: "I will buy some clothes for you on Taobao in two days."

"No, I have enough clothes." Ling Xiao explained.

"No, you are now the boss of the company, representing the company's image and a successful person. How can you do it without a few sets of clothes?" Yan Shijing said firmly.

There was no other way, so Ling Xiao had no choice but to agree.

The two of them came to a swimming pool, and after changing clothes, Yan Shijing appeared in front of Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao looked at the slender Yan Shijing under the swimsuit and couldn't help but take a second look.

Yan Shijing naturally knew that Ling Xiao's eyes were on her, so she deliberately made a pose and said: "Haha, isn't it beautiful?"

"really."

Ling Xiao smiled and nodded.

There were many people playing in the swimming pool, so Ling Xiao took Yan Shijing to the shallow water area.

Although Yan Shijing repeatedly stated that she was an expert swimmer, Ling Xiao was still worried that she would choke due to the depth of the water.

When Ling Xiao jumped directly into the water, he then looked at Yan Shijing behind him and said, "Are you going to jump down?"

Yan Shijing first touched the water with her little feet, and then slowly slid down.

But perhaps it was the moment she jumped into the water that the huge water pressure made her breathless.

"Ah~" Yan Shijing cried out involuntarily.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I felt like I couldn't breathe for a while, but I'm fine now."

Yan Shijing kept breathing.

But because there were many people playing around, the water in the pool kept flowing in the direction of Yan Shijing.

Ling Xiao was worried that she wasn't used to the pressure of the pool, so he said, "Come, hold my hand."

Yan Shijing felt warm in her heart and held Ling Xiao's hand tightly.

"Huh...it feels so comfortable!" Yan Shijing felt the warm water surrounding her body.

"I really want to stay in the water forever in this life."

Seeing how happy she was, Ling Xiao started laughing himself.

When Yan Shijing turned around and passed in front of Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao noticed the scenery at the neckline of her swimsuit.

So he held her hand with one hand, put his arm around her waist with the other, and said, "I always feel so bad."

"What's wrong?" Yan Shijing asked.

"You have such a good figure and wear so little fabric when you go swimming. If someone sees you, I will be at a loss." Ling Xiao teased.

After Yan Shijing heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry: "Am I going to put on a cotton-padded jacket and go swimming?"

"It's not impossible."

After the two people played in the water for nearly half an hour, they both went ashore to rest.

Just when Yan Shijing suggested that she come to the swimming pool next time when there are fewer people, Ling Xiao's cell phone rang.

Ling Xiao looked at the unknown caller, hesitated for a while, and finally answered the call.

"Hi, hello."

"Hello, hello, is this Mr. Ling Xiao?"

Ling Xiao replied: "I am."

"Hello, I am the secretary of Mr. Chen of Hengke Group." The other end of the phone said very formally: "Our Mr. Chen would like to invite you to dine at Burton Western Restaurant tonight. I wonder if Mr. Ling Xiao is there?"

Where is the time?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao knew that the Mr. Chen he was referring to was Chen Yunhai, not Chen Xueer.

Moreover, they just poached three of their employees, and now they have to look for themselves to make ends meet.

Is the second Hongmen Banquet coming so soon?

But faced with Chen Yunhai's invitation, Ling Xiao couldn't refuse.

After all, sometimes you have to face it all the time.

So he said: "Okay, please send me the address. My mobile phone number is my WeChat ID."

"Okay, let's meet on time at nine o'clock in the evening."

Then the call was hung up.

Yan Shijing on the side looked at Ling Xiao's serious expression, and she naturally knew that this call was probably serious.

So she took the initiative and said, "How about I go back first? Do you have something to do?"

Ling Xiao nodded: "Well, I have to meet a client."

He immediately said: "How about I ask Linlin to come over?"

"No, no, no." Yan Shijing shook her head, and she explained: "Actually, I haven't been ready to meet her in reality. I always feel that... the two of us can't meet."

Ling Xiao naturally knew what she meant.

So he also hugged Yan Shijing gently.

When sending her home, Yan Shijing said: "And you don't have to worry about me, just do whatever you want and I will support you from behind."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao nodded excitedly: "Okay, I understand."

Yan Shijing got out of the car, then she pointed to a high-rise residential complex and said, "Ahem, when someone comes next time, I will prepare food for him."

After saying that, she blushed and left.

Ling Xiao naturally understood what she meant, and then he said to the taxi driver: "Burton Western Restaurant on Jinjiu Street."

The second Hongmen Banquet begins.
