Chapter 33 3/3

What else should I plead for? She saw through his thoughts thoroughly. If he continued to entangle, he would be the one who looked bad in the end.

Ge Qingming left Starlight Entertainment with an almost defeated gray face.

When he packed up and left, he looked like he had aged ten years.

This was not an exaggeration.

The treatment and benefits given by Starlight were much better than those of other companies in the same industry. Employees had dormitories, not to mention their management.

Even with his experience and strong abilities, he couldn’t find a company with better treatment and benefits in the Magic City.

The treatment he received was still at the entry level. Everyone knew that as the years of service increased, the salary and benefits would also increase.

Coupled with the visible future development prospects of Starlight, entering at this time would undoubtedly lead to advancement.

If it weren’t for these reasons, he wouldn’t have entangled himself, willing to lower his salary and position to stay.

Because leaving Starlight was like losing a big gold mine, and now, due to his mistake, he has lost the gold mine.

It was regretful, but it was useless. Even if he could easily find a new job with his abilities, finding a company with treatment and benefits like Starlight would be difficult in his lifetime.

Sheng Quan did not have a moment of softness because of his regret. It wasn’t because she couldn’t stand such behavior from the perspective of a former worker.

It was because both she and Ge Qingming knew deep down that the reason he made such a superficial mistake ultimately boiled down to one thing:

He didn’t take her, the boss, seriously.

Perhaps because she was a young girl, perhaps because she didn’t often come to the company, perhaps because her requirements seemed too “idealistic” and “childish” to him.

Would Sheng Quan accept his thoughts? Impossible.

She would just send him away calmly and then let the human resources department find a suitable person to replace Ge Qingming’s position.

Ge Qingming’s departure was not announced to the entire company, but everyone noticed.

Different people had different feelings and thoughts when they saw it.

The management tensed up; some were relieved they hadn’t violated company rules, and some who hadn’t done anything too excessive tried to appease and win over subordinates. But everyone understood one thing: Sheng Quan’s decisions were final.

No matter how friendly and smiling she usually was, and despite the loose financial benefits she provided, when she acted, she wouldn’t be merciful.

Even if everyone knew it was a warning to others, the entire management team at Starlight was clear.

No one wanted to be the next Ge Qingming.

The employees, on the other hand, were relatively happy. No one wanted to sacrifice their free time without pay to help another person with personal matters, but since the other person was their superior, refusing could lead to trouble.

Those who had switched from other companies never thought the company would actually fire Ge Qingming over this.

When discussed privately, they said it served Ge Qingming right. It’s one thing to exploit others, but exploiting a recent graduate who just came out of school was not only excessive but also outrageous.

The secretary, who had just graduated, didn’t even report it anonymously when she did. It was entirely driven by anger and frustration.

After reporting, she even regretted it a bit. If Ge Qingming were still in the company after the report, her position would definitely become awkward.

So, after thinking it over, she could only resign. But leaving such a good salary and benefits made her feel like she was losing, and the longer it took, the more regretful she became.

During the handling of this matter, the result of the employees’ discussion was that Ge Qingming might face a salary reduction or demotion as punishment. Perhaps there would be criticism, but no one thought he would be directly fired.

As a result, he was fired, and pleading with Director Sheng was of no use.

Moreover, the company, according to the agreement, gave a bonus to the secretary who reported successfully.

This stirred up the enthusiasm of the employees, especially those with work experience. Who had seen a company that kept its promises like this before?

“In Huaxia, it’s a society built on personal relationships, and many things involve personal connections, resulting in a lot of unclear accounts in the end.

But Director Sheng does what she says.

No personal connections to cover, no face-saving projects.

Those with ability rise to the top, and competence is the key to advancement.

The company has rules, and violation of these rules leads to dismissal.

If it’s agreed that reporting violations is rewarded, then the reward is indeed given.

People, when faced with unfair treatment, will definitely be unhappy. However, in a fair environment, it only motivates them to strive harder because real effort brings rewards.

This incident not only makes employees more willing to contribute to the company’s success but also gives them a stronger sense of belonging.

As Sheng Quan said, Director Miao is just the first one.

Firing Ge Qingming and rewarding the secretary and Director Miao all serve as examples.

In such a working environment and atmosphere, proactive employees will strive for success, and ordinary employees will also feel more attached. It’s precisely because the external working environment is harsh that starlight shines even brighter.

With this awareness, they will more willingly consider themselves part of the company.

Human nature tends to seek advantage and avoid harm.

If Sheng Quan didn’t offer high salaries and excellent benefits by just imposing strict rules and talking about the ideal company and future, everyone would think she was unrealistically ambitious.

But by offering high salaries and benefits without talking much about the “ideal company in her mind,” both the management and ordinary employees realize:

This company seems quite ideal, and working efficiently can indeed bring benefits.

Director Miao was the first to notice this, although she might not have a clear concept in her mind.

But Sheng Quan believes that when she proposed this “inter-departmental suggestion,” she could vaguely sense that doing so would gain the company’s approval.

The Ge Qingming incident was Sheng Quan’s first display of her strength in front of everyone. At the same time, she sent a signal to all employees:

Violating the rules, even at the highest management level, will result in ruthless dismissal. To maintain current positions and salaries, one must not violate the company’s rules.

And what are the company’s rules?

Maintain cleanliness, no forced overtime, do not occupy employees or colleagues’ non-working hours, no personal connections, keep meeting content concise, and so on.

Every rule strikes a chord with everyone.

These are not just rules; they are like rules from a heavenly company!

After excited discussions, the enthusiasm for work increased. Some high-performing employees were already searching for advanced professional books and planning to establish themselves in Starlight.

All of them are young, carefully selected talents. Now that they have a bright and spacious path for advancement, they naturally want to make the most of it.

The “book kings” are very confident. Under favorable conditions, they are sure they can advance smoothly.

Now that Sheng Quan has removed obstacles with her actions, they are eager to make progress.

On the employee side, everyone is excitedly striving to become “book kings,” while Sheng Quan, after settling the dust, calls a meeting with the management.

The central idea is simple:

Everyone has seen Ge Qingming’s fate. Reiterating for the last time, Starlight’s atmosphere is different from other companies now and in the future.

If someone is unwilling to live in such a working environment, they can leave gracefully.

No one wants to leave.

Accustomed to Starlight’s high salaries and excellent benefits, no one wants a sudden “demotion.”

The cautious, probing hands are retracted in an instant.

So, in these months, Sheng Quan has been waiting for this day without drawing attention to herself.

Those who were sneakily doing things behind Gu Zhao’s back are now silent in front of Sheng Quan.

If they were only superficially submissive and still harboring their little thoughts, now they genuinely follow Sheng Quan.

It’s not that they have to, but Sheng Quan obviously intends to use good currency to drive out bad.

So, what is good currency? After experiencing the Ge Qingming incident, everyone knows.

Even though Starlight’s way is different from other companies, Sheng Quan has money.

Even though such a company is appearing for the first time in the country, Sheng Quan has money.

Even though they were considered half-baked before and may find it uncomfortable to change, Sheng Quan has money.

Everyone suddenly becomes extraordinarily honest.

Each of them solemnly assures that they are particularly righteous.

What they dislike the most is the atmosphere of flattery, relying on personal connections instead of competence!

What? Complained secretly before?

It must have been a misunderstanding.

They absolutely love the current atmosphere at Starlight and are ready to work here for a lifetime.

They bow to Sheng Quan and promise to work until they drop!
