Although Huo Xiao was resentful, he ultimately had to submit his resignation to his superiors for the sake of family harmony.
When Jiang Ning saw his resignation letter, she didn't approve it immediately, but instead called Huo Xiao.
"I'll keep your resignation letter for now. I'll give you two months' leave. Come back to the group headquarters whenever you've thought things through." Jiang Ning welcomes him back anytime.
Huo Xiao was extremely grateful and felt like he was a terrible person.
After he got home, Song Jia urged him to report to his new company.
He was resentful, but he still went anyway, thinking that every company has a probationary period, and if he didn't pass, he could just go back to the group.
When I arrived at the company, I found out that I was actually the deputy general manager of operations, which was quite a high-ranking position.
The company manufactures a type of health supplement, and its sales volume is quite large, with distributors all over the country seeking to purchase their products.
His job wasn't difficult; he didn't need to develop the market himself, he just needed to receive clients who came to him.
After working for more than a month, he took home more than 20,000 yuan.
Upon seeing the money, Song Jia's face lit up with a smug expression.
"How's it going? Isn't it much better than before? Let me tell you, at this rate of development, we can consider opening a branch. I've heard that franchising is all the rage these days, I can get restaurants in other provinces to use our brand..."
Recently, she has learned a lot of new ideas.
Several months passed, and Huo Xiao's new job went more and more smoothly, causing him to forget his promise to Jiang Ning.
Just as Song Jia was smugly taking stock of her funds, the police station called and asked her to come to the station.
With a heavy heart, she rushed to the police station, only to find that Huo Xiao had been arrested.
It turns out that the company he worked for was actually a den of counterfeit drugs, and as the vice president of operations, he signed off on every single drug sold.
When the company's general manager absconded, he became the scapegoat.
"What are we going to do? You've been working there for months, didn't you notice anything wrong?" Song Jia roared angrily at Huo Xiao, how could he be so easily fooled.
Why did he sign those contracts?!
Huo Xiao was already furious, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, wasn't it you who got me this job? I'm the vice president of operations, so of course I signed the contract. How was I supposed to know they had problems?!"
"What should we do?" Song Jia was on the verge of tears.
Huo Xiao was also anxious, but then he remembered what Jiang Ning had said: if he had any difficulties, he could go to her.
Song Jia had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg her.
I really didn't expect that in the end I would still be inferior to her and have to beg her in a humble manner.
After learning of the situation, Jiang Ning immediately called her legal counsel to her office.
"You must gather the best lawyers specializing in labor contracts and economic disputes and get Huo Xiao out of trouble."
Jiang Ning has built a top-notch legal team that can always turn the tide at crucial moments.
Sure enough, after a period of rescue efforts, Huo Xiao was cleared of suspicion of manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods because he had not terminated his contract with the group and received strong evidence from the company. However, because he was involved in the process, he was required to provide some compensation to the dead and injured patients, which would amount to about one million yuan.
After paying one million, Song Jia brought Huo Xiao home.
She was filled with regret. How could she have trusted someone so easily? Not only did she not make any money, but she also lost a million dollars.
After this ordeal, Huo Xiao was completely dejected, listless, and unable to muster the energy to do anything.
Song Jia asked him to return to the company, but he felt ashamed and refused to go no matter what.
Jiang Ning, who used to call every few days to inquire about the situation, has now disappeared without a trace, refusing to mention it at all.
Song Jia then thought of going to Jiang Ning and begging him to let Huo Xiao return the company.
As a result, she couldn't find Jiang Ning after arriving at the company.
"Chairwoman Jiang has gone on vacation and won't be back for a while. If you need anything, you can talk to her in the office," someone told her.
She also received a startling piece of news: at headquarters, a deputy minister could earn between 200,000 and 300,000.
She truly regretted letting Huo Xiao lose such a good job.
She was determined to get the job back no matter what.
Unable to find Jiang Ning, she went to Luo Guangming. Luo Guangming told her that the matter could only be decided when Jiang Ning returned.
"She already gave Huo Xiao a chance in this matter, and what you did was really unfair. They've been friends for years, and she's already done a lot by sending her best lawyer to help," he couldn't help but express his opinion.
Song Jia was somewhat unconvinced, "They spent a million to get him out of trouble. If the lawyer was really that good, they wouldn't have needed to spend so much money!"
When Luo Guangming heard her say that, he felt that their years of friendship were about to come to an end.
Some people drift apart as time goes by.
For some people, although they have made money, it is not so easy to keep it.
"You'd better take care of yourselves!" Luo Guangming said as he saw the guests off.
As he watched her walk out of the office, he offered them his blessings.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Jia got home, she heard Huo Xiao crying.
It turned out there was a phone call from home; his father had suddenly suffered a stroke and needed him to come home.
Seeing his breakdown, Song Jia immediately started packing her luggage, preparing to take him home.
The restaurant will be temporarily handed over to the children to manage.
When they returned home, Huo's father was already in the ICU. The doctor told them that if they wanted to save him, they would need at least 200,000 yuan.
Moreover, the best neuroscientists are in Beijing, and they are not easy to invite.
She had called several times but hadn't been able to get anyone to come.
Just when they were at their wits' end, Jiang Ning heard the news and personally found someone to invite a neurosurgeon over.
Finally, Mr. Huo regained consciousness and was out of danger. However, half of his body was paralyzed, requiring a long period of rehabilitation.
Song Jia naturally took the money; saving lives was the priority!
Her feelings for Huo Xiao have remained unchanged over the years.
Perhaps it was seeing this that made Jiang Ning end her vacation and come back to help her with this favor.
However, this was the last time she would help.
As for Huo Xiao returning to work at the group, there is no room for negotiation.
Song Jia then realized what she had lost.
Friends of so many years, and we just drifted apart like that.
It's just that she later made some unreliable friends and ended up losing her true friends.
What's even more devastating is that her restaurant is facing huge losses due to her children's mismanagement.
Huo Xiao stayed home to take care of her father, so she had to sell the restaurant and take the money back to her hometown.
My father is getting old and needs someone to take care of him.
She returned to her hometown with her children.
Looking back over the years, the most glorious moment of her life was probably in the capital city, and she will never have another moment of triumph.
A castle built over many years can be destroyed in just a few months.
