Chapter 182 Contract Termination
Qian Muchue shifted her gaze from the computer screen to Xiao Xiao and Xue Chao. Before she could say anything, Xue Chao spoke first.
"Captain Qian, I'm sorry, Xiao Xiao has some dissatisfaction with me. I'll take her out right away." Xue Chao's expression remained unchanged, just like usual, as if it was just a trivial matter.
He had been dealing with Xiao Xiao's affairs coldly recently, but he didn't expect that the other party would seize the opportunity when Qian Muchue was in the company and directly break into the boss's office.
Xiao Xiao is the company's ace anchor, Qian Muchue of course knows her. Seeing her barge into her office, Qian Muchue knew that things were not simple.
But Qian Muchue had handed over most of Chu Xin's matters to Xue Chao. Now that Xue Chao said this, even if she was curious, she would not let Xue Chao lose his prestige in front of the employees.
Since they had already broken into the boss's office, how could Xiao Xiao go out with Xue Chao so easily? Xue Chaoyue didn't want to make things known to Qian Muchue, the more she wanted to make a fuss.
"Mr. Qian, I have done my best for the company. Mr. Xue treats me like this now. Isn't this disheartening for employees?" Xiao Xiao ignored Xue Chao's actions and complained directly to Qian Muchue. Tears flowed down her face as she spoke, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She really felt wronged. Although Wenwan Technology promised her very good conditions, she still wanted similar conditions. She was still willing to stay in Chuxin Technology. Xiao Xiao felt that this was already her loyalty to the company, and she didn't expect Xue Chao to treat her like this.
It turned out that since the last conversation, the company had distributed some big-name products that were originally supposed to be put on sale in Xiao Xiao's live broadcast room to other anchors. Generally, brand owners would not agree to this situation, after all, Xiao Xiao's live broadcast room had the highest sales performance.
But Xue Chao is also a man of great courage. He made some concessions to brands in terms of commission. In order to promote other anchors, he also invested in publicity and held a lucky draw in the live broadcast room.
As a result, Xiao Xiao's live broadcast room lost a lot of fans. Except for some loyal fans, most people went to the live broadcast rooms of other anchors of Chu Xin. After all, everyone came to the live broadcast room to buy products because they wanted to spend the least money and buy the best products.
Since Xiao Xiao's live broadcast room does not have competitive products, it is normal for fans to leave. Xiao Xiao certainly cannot accept this situation. She can look for Xue Chao, but Xue Chao is always busy and has no time to deal with her.
Yesterday, Xiao Xiao threw a tantrum and refused to go live. Unexpectedly, the company directly arranged other anchors to replace her. When she came to the company again today, the anchor who replaced her yesterday was still in her studio. The makeup artist was helping the anchor with makeup, and other team members were introducing the products to be broadcast live in the evening to her.
When they saw Xiao Xiao coming, everyone ignored her. Xiao Xiao knew that Xue Chao was playing tricks on her and wanted to retaliate against her by asking her to change jobs.
This time, Xiao Xiao broke into Qian Muchue's office directly. She was determined to terminate the contract. She could not stay in Chuxin anymore. Xue Chao hated her now. Even if Qian Muchue gave her a raise, she could not survive in Chuxin anymore. She might as well go to Wenwan Technology.
"Let's talk it over nicely. Why are you crying? I'm fine now. Why don't you tell me what happened, Mr. Xue?" Qian Muchue said with a smile. In this situation, Xiao Xiao clearly didn't want to have a good talk with Xue Chao.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, Qian Muchue doesn't like Xiao Xiao's behavior. We are all professionals. If there is something to say, we should talk about it. But if he starts crying, what kind of communication is that? It's not like whoever cries louder is right.
Xue Chao didn't want Qian Muchue to be affected by the situation, but Xiao Xiao had already caused this, so he had to say it.
"Mr. Qian, Xiao Xiao plans to switch to Wenwan Technology. The company has arranged someone to take over her job. Xiao Xiao may not be satisfied with the arrangement." Xue Chao settled the matter with just a few brief words.
When Xiao Xiao heard this, she was choked up. What he said was true, but by saying this, Xue Chao put all the blame on her. She clearly wanted to negotiate with the company, and she would not change jobs if the company gave her similar treatment.
"Boss Qian, that's not true. Wenwan Technology does offer me a higher salary than our company, but if Boss Xue is willing to have a good talk with me, I would still prefer to stay in the company. But Boss Xue didn't even bother to say anything. First, he reduced the resources in my live studio, and now he's directly letting other colleagues replace me. This approach is really hurtful to us employees."
Xiao Xiao said with tears in her eyes that this was throwing all the blame onto Xue Chao.
When Qian Muchue heard this, she roughly understood what was going on. Xiao Xiao had received an offer from another company and then negotiated terms with Xue Chao. However, the company's salary system was well-established, and it was impossible to break the rules for one person, especially since Xiao Xiao had not made any special contribution to the company.
The original intention of the company is not to exploit employees, and the salary given to each employee is to match their labor as much as possible.
In response to Xiao Xiao's situation, in order to reduce the company's losses, Xue Chao took a series of actions, which obviously harmed Xiao Xiao's personal interests.
From Xiao Xiao's perspective, Xue Chao's approach was cold-blooded and ruthless, but from the company's perspective, there was nothing wrong in minimizing the company's losses.
"Xiao Xiao, no matter who is right or wrong, President Xue and I are here now. You can tell me what you think now." Qian Muchue said without changing her expression. She neither said that Xiao Xiao was wrong nor that Xue Chao had any problems.
Looking at Qian Muchue like this, Xiao Xiao couldn't figure out her attitude for a moment.
"I, I want to stay in the company, but what President Xue did is too hurtful. In this case, I can't stay anymore." Xiao Xiao did not directly say to terminate the contract. He expressed his wishes tactfully and then went to see Qian Muchue's reaction.
After all, she is the company's ace anchor, and Qian Muchue will not let her go easily.
"Okay, if it's a good match, we'll stay together, and if it's not, we'll separate. It's human nature. Thank you very much for your dedication to Chuxin during this period. You just need to go to the Human Resources Department and complete the resignation procedures according to the contract." Qian Muchue said readily, without any unhappiness at all.
Xiao Xiao was stunned by her straightforwardness and was a little bit unconvinced. It took him a long time to react and thank her.
"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your understanding." Xiao Xiao said with gratitude.
Xue Chao, who was standing by, couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile on his face when he saw Xiao Xiao's expression. He guessed that she would regret it soon, as Chu Xin's contract was not something to be taken lightly.
All of Chuxin’s current anchors had no traffic when they signed the contract. The big internet celebrities with traffic have their own monetization models and will not sign with the company easily. Therefore, Chuxin paid a lot of cost in the early stage to train these anchors, so how could it let them jump ship easily?
Unlike the terms of other companies, Chuxin’s requirement for terminated employees is that they cannot work in related industries within five years, otherwise they will need to pay the company a huge amount of liquidated damages. In addition, the names of most anchors are stage names given after joining the company. This belongs to the company's IP, and they cannot use this name to engage in any profitable work after leaving the company.
This clause is to prevent the company from spending money to train anchors, and then the anchors change jobs or work alone for personal gain, causing the company to suffer losses. However, if someone really does not like this industry and terminates the contract, these clauses of the company will have no effect on him. Obviously, Xiao Xiao does not belong to the latter.
