Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King Chapter 509 - 297 Consecutively

Seeing Zhou Chu’s change in expression, Han Qiang reflexively shrank his neck, "Uh, it’s nothing... nothing at all!"

"Don’t give any nonsense, what’s going on? Explain it clearly! Don’t push to get angry, you know my temper!"

Zhou Chu asked sternly.

If Zhang Yang interacted with the team mbers just as a boss and employees, then from a moral or legal standpoint, it’s understandable if employees consider better opportunities, like switching jobs or resigning.

It’s essentially a labor trade-off, where I sell my labor and you pay a salary—everything else is just fluff.

But Zhang Yang and these team brothers have never operated this way; they’ve always infused a lot of personal feelings into their interactions.

Previously, the matter of getting an off-road vehicle at a low price for Wang Yan didn’t count, but the year-end bonuses beyond the annual salary and the various benefits during holidays far exceeded the basic salary.

This kind of generous boss who doesn’t sweat the small stuff has left a deep impression, so for several years the team has developed without any unexpected turnover, everyone is familiar with each other, and they work together harmoniously.

But now, things have changed. Han Qiang, after drinking, accidentally revealed that he had been privately contacted by soone trying to poach him, without even ntioning it to the other guys or Zhang Yang, which Zhou Chu sees as sowhat unacceptable.

So might say Zhou Chu is making a mountain out of a molehill, but from his standpoint, this is a matter of principle—it’s about the team’s loyalty.

To put it bluntly, even though Han Qiang refused the poaching, there was already a slight ripple in his heart about the current situation.

The offered terms weren’t enough for him to leave now, but what if soone ca along offering even more? Would he then consider jumping ship?

"Well... Just recently, soone called , offering a higher salary to work at their company! With as the core, they want to rebuild a professional shooting team!"

Unable to withstand Zhou Chu’s piercing gaze, and now sober, Han Qiang confessed quietly.

"Who is this person? What specific salary and benefits did they offer you?"

"From Jiatiao Ni Tackle, Xie Xiaozhong! If I go, they’ll increase my salary by 8,000..." Han Qiang answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this na, Zhou Chu’s brows slightly furrowed, and he pondered for a couple of seconds.

"Foolish! Life’s been good the past couple of years, and you almost forgot your own limitations! Co on, let’s go clarify things with the leader!"

Zhou Chu, without even putting on a coat, was about to drag Han Qiang to find Zhang Yang.

"Well... since I’m not planning to go anyway, maybe we should just forget about it! If I tell him, he’ll surely overthink it!"

Han Qiang felt a bit awkward, hesitating to stand up.

After all, this isn’t sothing good. The thought of eting Zhang Yang to talk about being poached a few days ago made him feel a bit guilty.

"You usually seem smart, but at crucial monts you’re an idiot! Do you think it’s just because your skills are great and they want to poach you? Soone’s got their eye on our team, you know?"

Zhou Chu uncharacteristically swore, his forehead veins popping out.

"Oh..."

"Co on, hurry up and let’s go. If you’re worried Zhang Yang will overthink, just say you got the call today, I won’t expose you!"

"Alright!"

...

One minute later, Zhou Chu and Han Qiang knocked on the door of Zhang Yang’s and Wang Yan’s shared room.

Zhang Yang was shirtless on the balcony, sweet-talking on the phone with Xiaowei. Hearing the knock, he set down his phone and opened the door.

"Brother Chu, what’s up?" Zhang Yang asked casually.

"I have sothing to tell you..."

Zhou Chu recounted, word for word, what Han Qiang had just said about being poached, except he changed the tifra from a few days ago to today.

"Xie Xiaozhong from Jiatiao Ni?" After listening, Zhang Yang didn’t ask for more details; instead, he repeated the na of the backer ntioned by Zhou Chu and Han Qiang with narrowed eyes.

"What are they trying to do poaching soone at this critical mont?"

Zhou Chu, though having his own judgnt, still asked the question, wanting to hear Zhang Yang’s opinion on the matter.

Zhang Yang’s lips curled slightly, "Most likely they’ve got their eyes on the big pie of online live streaming events! Isn’t Bao Dewei from Siren also planning this? Going around looking for people to create content, even paying early to buy traffic and hype the events!"

"Then should we..."

Zhang Yang waved his hand, saying aningfully, "Let them do what they want. Making quick money is one thing; if the foundation is crooked, the big tree will fall sooner or later! No need to engage with them!

Oh, and don’t go spreading this to others, including President Zhao!"

"Alright!" Zhou Chu and Han Qiang nodded in agreent.

After Zhou Chu and Han Qiang left, Wang Yan, who was showering in the bathroom wearing only boxers, strode out.

"Who was in our room just now? I think I heard Brother Chu!"

Zhang Yang didn’t conceal anything, "Han Qiang and Brother Chu were here. Soone tried to poach Han Qiang with a high salary, and they ca to tell about it!"

"Damn! Who has the nerve to do that? Poaching? Did they even bother to check? Our team is built like a titanium-alloy wall, not that easy to break!"

Zhang Yang grinned without saying anything.

Just then, Wang Yan’s phone on the table started ringing.

At this hour, there generally shouldn’t be any calls from strangers, so without even looking at the number, Wang Yan answered casually.

"Hello? Who’s this?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Wang Yan? We’re from Horizon Headhunting! My na is Wang; you can call Xiao Wang!
