Chapter 655: Chapter 0656: Human Resources Director Xiao Mei

It was expected that the designers from the design department would oppose the layoffs, but no one expected it would happen so quickly.

Ye Qiu didn’t make a sound, just sitting there and watching.

Shen Xingru did the same, sitting next to Ye Qiu, watching this man with long hair who seemed to have an artistic air. She felt nauseated by his presence.

"Oppose? Do you even have the face to oppose?"

Shen Yueru said coldly.

The designs for the summer lingerie, which were supposed to be initiated since the spring and be completed by the close of summer, had not yet produced any satisfactory results.

Yet, once Ye Qiu arrived, it took him less than an hour to handle it.

She truly felt it was a waste of money to employ so many designers.

"President Shen, they all have contracts," Li Yingjun said.

Seeing Ye Qiu sitting there, his anger also flared. Thinking about moving from East Sea City to Jinling for Shen Yueru, only to be looked down upon by her.

"Then we’ll terminate them according to the contract!"

Shen Yueru didn’t want to say more.

According to the contract, the severance would be based on an ’N plus 2 or N plus 3’ formula, meaning if one had worked for Xingyue Group for two years, they’d receive four months’ salary, and if three years, five or six months’ salary.

Other large companies offered similar compensation, and the terms were the same in the previous contracts signed.

Li Yingjun didn’t know what to say anymore and turned to leave, his eyes burning with fury.

"That Director Li is a half-bucket, I don’t even know how he became a director," Ye Qiu wondered aloud.

This made Shen Yueru somewhat embarrassed.

Initially, when recruiting other designers, Li Yingjun was her classmate and had interned in East Sea City for a while, so Shen Yueru thought he was quite good at lingerie design and promoted him to director of the eighth design department.

"My sister and he used to be classmates," Shen Xingru explained.

"No wonder."

Ye Qiu, however, felt that this long-haired Li Yingjun was somewhat odd.

"Sister, I only see him as an employee," Shen Yueru said.

In Xingyue Group, everyone knew Li Yingjun had been pursuing Shen Xingru, and even Ye Qiu, who had just arrived, could see it.

But Shen Yueru indeed looked down on the likes of Li Yingjun.

Looking at the time, it was still early, yet Ye Qiu had to wait until tomorrow to sift through the designers and decide who would stay.

However, regarding the two modeling teams of Xingyue Group, aside from the female model Amy, Ye Qiu felt the rest should be let go; keeping them was simply a waste of money.

If they were to wear the clothes and lingerie designed by Ye Qiu for a show, he believed these female models truly didn’t deserve to.

"Those female models, except for that Amy, let all the others go and find a new batch," Ye Qiu said.

Shen Yueru quickly recalled the conversation she had with Ye Qiu on this topic before.

After comparing those female models, she realized that indeed, only Amy was suitable. As for the rest, using them for Xingyue Group’s lingerie advertisements and exhibitions was truly inappropriate.

"I’ll notify the HR department right away."

Shen Yueru needed the designers in the design department to know that she wasn’t joking, and that they had to be mentally prepared today.

She first called the office of the director of HR, and swiftly, Xiao Mei, the HR director, picked up the call and asked, "President Shen, what seems to be the issue?"

"Director Xiao, except for Miss Amy, dismiss all members of the two model teams. You and your colleagues should take care of their corresponding work and compensation issues."

As the director of the HR department at Xingyue Group, Xiao Mei had also been in a meeting and knew that President Shen aimed to make cuts in the design department, dismissing most of the designers.

However, she didn’t expect that right after the meeting, the models would be the first to be dismissed.

Xiao Mei often encountered these female models and had to admit they were beautiful; they certainly had the looks, the figures, and the height. However, she wondered why the highly paid models they had hired were now all being dismissed?

"Yes, President Shen."

Since Shen Yueru had said so, it was certainly decided from above.

After hanging up, Xiao Mei called over a few other team leaders from the HR department and instructed, "President Shen wants to dismiss the female models, except for Miss Amy. Everyone else is to be dismissed. Let’s go down now and inform them."

So soon?

The colleagues in HR were also taken by surprise; they had just learned, after Xiao Mei’s meeting, that the company planned to start with the design department’s designers.

They didn’t expect that the female models would be dismissed so quickly.

Xiao Mei and the HR team leaders took the elevator down and arrived at the models’ training room. They saw the fashionable models following their team’s leaders in dance practice.

Xiao Mei didn’t go directly to them, but watched from a distance. When the models finished their training and took a break, Xiao Mei approached Ma Dongling and Liu Fenglian, the team leaders, and said, "Miss Ma, Miss Liu, we need to talk to you."

Both were taken by the imposing figure of Xiao Mei, especially her ’impressive’ bust which was even more eye-catching than theirs. But more than just that, Xiao Mei’s demeanor seemed superior to theirs as well.

"Director Xiao, may I know what this is about?"

Ma Dongling knew Xiao Mei was from HR, so she and Liu Fenglian were a little puzzled to see Xiao Mei and her fellow HR employees coming towards them.

"Please come over here first."

They could only follow her, and when they arrived, Xiao Mei announced, "President Shen just called me to say that both of your model teams are to be immediately disbanded. Apart from Miss Amy, everyone is to be dismissed!"

What?

The model teams are being disbanded?

Ma Dongling couldn’t believe it, and Liu Fenglian found it equally hard to accept.

They were handpicked to join Xingyue Group, a selection from hundreds, and now, after the company had spent so much money training them, they were being dismissed and disbanded.

"Does that include us?"

Ma Dongling inquired.

Xiao Mei nodded.

"That’s unacceptable; I’m going to speak with President Shen."

Ma Dongling insisted.

She felt they and the other female model team members had been doing well, so why were they suddenly being dismissed?

Still sweating from practice, Ma Dongling and Liu Fenglian prepared to leave the training room and head to Shen Yueru’s presidential office.

"There’s no need for you to go; it’s no use because eighty percent of the designers in the design department are also going to be dismissed!"

What?

The designers are being dismissed too?

When compared to the sophisticated female designers, Ma Dongling was aware that despite their glamorous appearance, the models were no match for the designers. But now, even most of the designers were being let go, needless to say the models.
