Chapter 262 The Price of Greed (Part ) After receiving the bonus of more than 500,000 yuan, Yang Guiren immediately submitted his resignation letter. He did not even want the bonus for "The Accidental Murderer". He just wanted to leave Sanlian Publishing House as soon as possible and report to Ming Pao Publishing House. With the connections he had accumulated, he could definitely gain a foothold in Ming Pao Publishing House in a short period of time. However, without Liu Hongmin, his biggest connection, he was not sure whether he would be valued in Ming Pao Publishing House. But he no longer had a choice. Sanlian Publishing House didn't like Yang Guiren in the first place, and when they saw Yang Guiren resigning on his own initiative, they didn't even bother to retain him and let him go. However, when handing over the work, they kept Liu Hongmin's contact information. Yang Guiren also cooperated and gave Sanlian Publishing House Liu Hongmin's home phone number. Sanlian Publishing House did not check either. After all, if there was nothing important, they would not disturb Liu Hongmin. The result was that when they wanted to contact each other, they found that the person who answered the phone was not Liu Hongmin. So, the shareholders of Sanlian Publishing House called Yang Guiren angrily and said, "Mr. Yang, how dare you play tricks on us?" After Yang Guiren received the call, he was also confused. What happened to me? Who did I fool? How did I fool you? "May I ask who's calling?"
"I am Jiao Dacheng!" Yang Guiren suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Boss Jiao! Haven't I already resigned? What can I do for you?" Jiao Dacheng said viciously: "What's the matter? It's all your fault! Mr. Yang, you actually gave us a fake phone number, are you looking for death?" Yang Guiren was stunned. "What fake phone number? Whose number is fake?" "Liu Hongmin's!" Jiao Dacheng said angrily, "Give me Liu Hongmin's correct phone number quickly, or I'll make you pay." Yang Guiren was even more confused, "Brother Liu's? The number I gave you is the correct one!" "Right? When we called, a woman answered. An older woman, not the operator." Yang Guiren laughed, "That's his nanny. Brother Liu has dozens of rooms at home, but there is only one line for international long-distance calls, so he got himself an extension. International long-distance calls must go through the switchboard first. The nanny takes turns guarding the switchboard. As long as you say you are from Sanlian Publishing House, she will connect you to Liu Hongmin's study." Jiao Dacheng was stunned for a moment, "Is that so? But why did she say she didn't know us after we told her we were from Sanlian Publishing House, and then she hung up the phone directly?" Yang Guiren's heart moved. Could it be that the retribution for Sanlian Publishing House had come? He confirmed, "Did you call at the designated time?" "Of course! How dare we disturb Liu Hongmin?" Yang Guiren immediately laughed in his heart. It was indeed the retribution of Sanlian Publishing House. At that time, he remained calm and pretended to be puzzled and said, "I don't know about this!" "How could you not know?" Jiao Dacheng said, "But you have been in contact with Liu Hongmin." Yang Guiren was speechless, "But I have already resigned, and I have completed the handover before leaving!" Jiao Dacheng said arrogantly: "I don't care, you come to the publishing house immediately and call Liu Hongmin in front of us. If Liu Hongmin answers your call, your handover will be considered complete." Yang Guiren said with a smile: "Boss Jiao, this is not right! I am no longer your employee, and the handover has been completed. You have also signed the handover form. I am not obliged to listen to you now, so you should give orders to your employees!" Jiao Dacheng was furious and wanted to threaten Yang Guiren, but a hand reached out from the side and turned on the speakerphone. "Renzi, as long as you help us contact Liu Hongmin, I will give you the bonus from "The Accidental Murderer" and a hiring fee of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars." Yang Guiren was tempted, but he was not sure whether Liu Hongmin would answer his call.
"Mr. Zou, I don't know what happened, so I can't guarantee that I can contact Brother Liu." President Zou smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you come and help us contact them." When Yang Guiren heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay! I'll be there right away!" Anyone who doesn't agree to such a good thing is a fool. President Zou hung up the phone, and Jiao Dacheng beside him immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Zou, why did you give money to Yang Guiren? It is his responsibility to contact Liu Hongmin." "No one should do anything!" President Zou said unhappily, "Yang Guiren has worked at Sanlian Publishing House for more than ten years and has made great contributions to the publishing house. What happened? You forced him to ask Liu Hongmin for manuscripts. People work hard for you, but you hurt them. Is this how you act as a boss?" Jiao Dacheng immediately lowered his head, but there was still resentment on his face. They are just a bunch of poor ghosts, they deserve to work for me. He didn't dare to say this out loud, but his stubborn attitude had already revealed his thoughts. President Zou said coldly: "Forget about Yang Guiren, he is a small figure and can't affect Sanlian Publishing House. But Liu Hongmin is not a small figure. Have you ever thought about what Liu Hongmin would think if you did this?" Hearing this, Jiao Dacheng asked in doubt: "We just want to request a manuscript. Isn't it easy for Liu Hongmin to do it?" President Zou was furious when he saw that he still didn't know where he went wrong. "Do you still think Liu Hongmin is a minor writer? Not to mention his influence on politics, the money he has in Hong Kong alone is enough to buy dozens of Sanlian Publishing Houses. How can such a person do things according to your ideas? You are not worthy!" Jiao Dacheng was afraid. Hong Kong is a capitalist society, and the rich are the boss. If he had known that Liu Hongmin was so rich, how could he dare to provoke Liu Hongmin? "Are you scared now?" President Zou knocked heavily on the floor with his cane. "It's too late!" Jiao Dacheng asked anxiously: "Mr. Zou, what should we do then?" President Zou sighed, "We can only wait until Yang Guiren contacts Liu Hongmin, and then we can apologize! It's also my fault that I handed over Sanlian Publishing House to you for the sake of free time." As he was talking, Yang Guiren walked into Sanlian Publishing House. When he saw President Zou, he immediately walked over quickly and greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Zou, how are you these days?" President Zou forced a smile, "It's okay, it's okay! Renzi, I'm sorry for putting you through this during this period." Yang Guiren forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I'm doing fine at Ming Pao Publishing House now." The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and President Zou took the phone and said, "Renzi, I need to trouble you again." "It's okay! After all, you paid me." Yang Guiren took the phone and turned on the hands-free modem. Then he took a deep breath and called. Sure enough, a Beijing dialect voice came from the other end, "Which one?" "I am Yang Guiren..." Before he finished speaking, someone on the other side said, "Oh, I'll transfer you to the study!" Jiao Dacheng and the others suddenly widened their eyes. How come they didn't recognize him after they called him? Yang Guiren was taken to the study room after he called him? (End of this chapter)
