Chapter 630: Choice!
When it came to the law, no one understood it better than him!
He judged espers using esper laws.
However, this did not mean that he was unfamiliar with ordinary laws!
He immediately said, “Yes, so we did not have you sign a labor contract. What you signed was a confidentiality agreement! After working here for a month and a half, you want to leave with the information you’ve gathered? How is that possible?! Unless you’ll not be engaging in research related to ours, you’ll have to pay three times the penalty!”
Not doing related research?
If one were to investigate further, a phone was also an electronic device. How could it not be connected to their research?
Liu Xiu was stunned. He looked at Zheng Zhi in disbelief. All his arrogance had disappeared and he fell on the chair.
Zheng Zhi lifted his chin and looked at Xue Xi smugly.
A stupid ordinary person would not consider the consequences before doing something. Fortunately, he had held back.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xue Xi slowly lowering her head. “I’ll still say the same thing. Anyone who wants to leave with him can leave. I won’t be holding any of you back. The agreement we signed back then will also be voided and I won’t pursue any responsibility.”
Zheng Zhi: “?”
He frowned and walked to Xue Xi’s side. Lowering his voice, he said, “Are you crazy?”
Xue Xi ignored him.
Zheng Zhi instantly felt a nameless fire surge in his heart. He was so angry that he took a step back. “You… are really too much! Anyway, the compensation won’t be shared with me. Why should I save money for you here? Do whatever you want!”
Xue Xi nodded.
Liu Xiu was the first to stand up. “I want to leave!”
A few people who had already thought it through hurriedly stood up. “Sister Xi, I’m sorry. I-I also want to leave…”
There were a total of 200 people in the laboratory. There were about 100 people who came today, and there were actually 40-50 people who were persuaded by Liu Xiu!
Seeing the crowd, Li Zixia and Xie Yingying panicked. “Sister Xi!”
Xue Xi, on the other hand, did not even blink as she pointed at the finance department. “Go find Bottle and collect this month’s allowance. You guys can leave now.”
This group of people queued up to receive their allowance.
The entire laboratory was in chaos.
In Xue Xi’s office, she sat quietly on the sofa and watched as the door was pushed open. A person who had just queued up to receive her money walked in. Her eyes were red as she said, “Sister Xi, I’m sorry. I-I really need this money.”
Actually, most of the people who were leaving felt guilty.
Looking at them, Xue Xi actually did not feel anything.
They were not friends to begin with, so how could they betray each other?
She said, “It’s fine.”
That person instantly felt even more ashamed.
However, there were also some who were as thick-skinned as Liu Xiu. After receiving the allowance, they even mobilized the rest. “When we first arrived, we were just waiting to see how it would go. Now that you guys have realized that the project here is indeed very difficult to complete, let’s leave together! I heard that the neighboring department will only recruit people today. Moreover, once they’ve recruited a hundred people, they won’t accept any more. If you guys don’t leave today, you won’t get another chance!”
Some people were persuaded and wanted to leave, but there were also others who criticized, “Just a little bit of money and you guys are already bought over? You guys are really useless! What future is there in making a phone? Sister Xi’s research is what’s useful for the country and the future! You guys are really short-sighted! Your eyes are short-sighted!”
Liu Xiu said, “Tsk, you make it sound as though you don’t want the 10,000 yuan allowance. Oh, right. Project team leaders next door receive 50,000 yuan a month. Senior Li Man, are you sure you don’t want it?”
Li Man clenched his jaw and fists. Although he was also attracted by that 50,000, he still said, “No need, thank you!”
After participating in a project, he could not leave before finishing it.
Moreover, he believed in Sister Xi.
Sister Xi was even more formidable than Director Wang!
Liu Xiu pouted and smiled. “Right, our project laboratory is just next door to yours. This was specially requested by Senior Li Xuelei. It’s easier for everyone to move to another location this way. Alright, everyone, follow me!”
The laboratory was bustling with activity.
The laboratory next door was also just moving in.
In the afternoon, everyone who should leave had left. Xue Xi stared blankly at the remaining dozens of people.
Zheng Zhi stood beside her and sneered. “Who asked you to be generous and magnanimous? Do you see that? There’s no one else now! Let’s see what you can do!”
Xue Xi ignored him.
Li Xuekai, who had been sleeping the whole morning, seemed to have finally caught his breath and said, “Sister Xi did the right thing.”
Zheng Zhi: “?”
Li Xuekai said, “If your heart is no longer in this, why still stay here? Moreover, as our research goes deeper, the knowledge will only become more and more confidential. The people who are staying here are the ones who have experienced the temptation of money and proven themselves reliable.”
Zheng Zhi frowned.
Li Xuekai continued, “Sometimes, the law can indeed control people. It can really make people submit to it, but one can’t just rely on the law. Sister Xi’s actions show the magnanimity and tolerance that a person who does great things should have.”
Zheng Zhi was very displeased to be reprimanded by someone younger than him. He snorted. “Everyone has a bad nature. The people who stayed behind can only be said to have not been tempted by 10,000 yuan. After that, offer them a million yuan. See if they will be tempted then.”
Li Xuekai: “…”
Zheng Zhi stared at Xue Xi. “I’ll wait for you to regret today’s decision!”
Both parties parted unhappily.
After Zheng Zhi left, Xue Xi suddenly turned to look at Li Xuekai and asked in confusion, “What’s your relationship with Li Xuelei?”
Li Xuekai clenched his jaw and was about to speak when a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the door. “My good brother, we meet again!”
Xue Xi turned around and saw a boy who looked somewhat similar to Li Xuekai but was more like Li Xuekai’s father.
He was wearing a white shirt with both hands in his pockets.
He walked unsteadily and arrived in front of them.
Good brother…
Xue Xi suddenly recalled the illegitimate son that Mr. Li had mentioned during dinner that day. Could this be him?
She turned around in surprise and saw that Li Xuekai had already tensed up. “Why are you here?”
Li Xuelei smiled and said, “I’m here to do a project. Oh, right. Dad said that he wants to see what kind of achievements you can achieve when you don’t have to work for others. He wants you to regret your choice that day!”
After saying that, he turned to look at Xue Xi and smiled. “Xue Xi, right? Knowing someone by their reputation is not as good as meeting them face to face. You’re really amazing. No wonder our family’s orthodox Li Xuekai was subdued by you! Tsk, right, Li Xuekai, do you want to come and help me? Our mathematics team’s leader earns 50,000 yuan a month. If you follow Xue Xi, will you only get 10,000 yuan a month?”
