Chapter 972 - 758: Combo Technique
Looking at Xia Tian, whose expression had changed.Both Nan Zhubin and Chonghui felt a peculiar sense of familiarity at this moment.
They could vaguely sense something called "rhythm" being played by Xia Tian.
Her expression and words, at this moment, extended five slender, delicate, fair fingers, grasping the person named Shi Chuxin opposite her.
"You..." Shi Chuxin swallowed, "You... what do you mean?"
"Just as I said, Senior Sister." Xia Tian still retained a form of address, but in the current situation, no one could sense any respect in it, "You have no room for refusal."
"I haven’t been here long, and I don’t know much about the negotiations you had before." Xia Tian said leisurely, "But I can guess a bit."
"You are now in the human resources department, which is considered a minor management level, yet you want to provide Nan Zhubin and Chonghui with materials to fight against the company. There are essentially two motives—"
"First, you see no future for yourself in the company and want to rationally extricate yourself from the current mess through Nan Zhubin and his team, making a profit without being held accountable."
"Second, I know you are Teacher Bai’s student, but it seems your relationship... has not been very pleasant?"
Xia Tian curled her lips: "So you want to take this opportunity to help Nan Zhubin and his team to mend your relationship with Teacher Bai and find your next job — right?"
Spot on.
Chonghui couldn’t help glancing at Nan Zhubin, and this time finally made eye contact with him.
Before Chonghui could express his shock at Xia Tian’s perceptiveness, he saw Nan Zhubin shake his phone at him.
"..." Chonghui immediately understood.
It turned out that this kid had been almost silent, broadcasting live to Xia Tian via his phone. No wonder the timing of this young girl’s entry was so perfect.
Is this really a combo move?
However, in the eyes of the clueless Shi Chuxin, Xia Tian’s penetrating analysis was quite terrifying.
"First, addressing your primary motive, you want to leave the company without being held accountable and even receive appropriate compensation — surely, as someone in the human resources department, you know how difficult this is."
Indeed, all those optimized employees served as precedents. Shi Chuxin had arranged layoffs for many people and knew how harsh the company was toward them.
"In this situation, the worse the company goes down, the more completely it collapses, the less time they will have to bother with you, allowing you to make a complete break." Xia Tian reasoned.
"And the materials we have currently collected are merely enough to let the EAP Project Team escape intact. As for you —"
"Senior Sister, I think it ultimately falls on you to strive for yourself, right?" Xia Tian briefly regained her cheerful expression, "Even though I proposed these conditions, you are actually helping yourself."
Sounds quite reasonable.
But within it lies a small calculation by Xia Tian.
Aiding in the company’s demise and collapse wouldn’t just benefit Shi Chuxin.
It would also help other employees facing layoffs — most of whom were visitors from the EAP Project Team.
"Secondly, let’s discuss the issue with Teacher Bai." Xia Tian’s tone inadvertently revealed a hint of respect, and even her posture straightened.
She seemed to be keeping an eye on Nan Zhubin and Chonghui intentionally or not: "I also studied under Teacher Bai for a while and witnessed his attitude at work."
She was referring to a previous disaster relief project.
"Even though we didn’t spend much time together, I could tell Teacher Bai is a highly professional and ethically upright teacher."
Chonghui lowered his head toward his plate, struggling to suppress the corners of his mouth.
"I’m not sure how you fell out with Teacher Bai, but I can somewhat guess."
"Now, since you wish to regain Teacher Bai’s assistance, aside from providing benefits, aligning yourself with Teacher Bai’s personal stance — wouldn’t that make your effort even more effective?"
This was the emotional appeal part.
But — it was indeed quite convincing.
Xia Tian summarized: "If you wish to achieve your goals, the choices I’m offering are actually your best, and only choice. You are not only helping us but also yourself, Senior Sister."
This line felt somewhat familiar.
Shi Chuxin’s expression turned a bit dazed.
But her last shred of reasoning pulled her back a little.
She took a deep breath: "You... you make a lot of sense. But there is one thing you haven’t clarified —"
"That is... what you want me to do is dangerous. It involves legal risks, and you can’t be unaware of that."
Shi Chuxin glared at Xia Tian, gritting her teeth, "Yes, you absolutely know. So, you clearly need these materials, yet you’re not collecting them yourself but making me do it, shifting all the risk onto me, right?"
Xia Tian, however, wore an expression that seemed all too reasonable: "Of course it should be you, Senior Sister, collecting them."
"As I said, we’ve already gathered enough materials to let the EAP Project Team escape intact." Xia Tian patted her folder, "The remaining parts are just embellishments. They are more about Nan Zhubin and his team’s desire to assist visitors within their ability."
"But honestly, from a practical standpoint — we already have enough." Xia Tian smiled faintly, "The materials you gather — we can do with them or without them."
