They were utterly loyal to Li Chenxu, and now that they knew he was leaving the Li family, they were more heartbroken than anyone else. A hint of resolute determination, like someone burning their bridges, lingered in their hearts.
With the burden of the Li family gone, Li Chenxu felt much more relaxed.
Hearing his subordinate's words, he glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh, "Do I look fake?"
"It's not..."
The subordinate who spoke seemed somewhat embarrassed. He looked at Li Chenxu with some hesitation. After Li Chenxu finished signing the documents, he finally mustered up his courage and said, "Sir, if you really want to leave, could you take us with you?"
These words made Li Chenxu pause in his writing. He didn't look at the people in front of him, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, he looked up at his subordinate and said meaningfully, "Do you really want to leave with me?"
“We have really made up our minds. It was you who mentored us, sir. You recognize talent and understand people. Even if you were strict with us at work, it was all for our own good. We are all your people, and since you are leaving the Li family, we will naturally follow you.”
The people in front of him were all key members of the company's core departments, and just as they said, they were indeed promoted by Li Chenxu. They had followed Li Chenxu since he was at Li's Group and were indeed loyal. So, Li Chenxu was not surprised at all by saying such things.
However, seeing their tense expressions, Li Chenxu suddenly felt like teasing them.
He feigned a troubled expression as he looked at his subordinates, and finally said with some hesitation, "As you all know, I'm practically leaving with nothing right now. If you leave the Li family with me, I might not even be able to pay your salaries for the first few months. So, are you still willing to follow me?"
"Of course I'm willing! And we believe that even if you start from scratch, you'll do better than others!"
They were all ordinary working-class people, and their wages were not only for daily expenses but also for supporting their families. Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu originally thought they would hesitate at least a little, but to their surprise, they trusted Li Chenxu immediately and without hesitation.
This time, even Li Chenxu was taken aback by them.
Although Li Chenxu was aloof to outsiders and extremely serious at work, he was incredibly kind to those close to him. Hearing his subordinates' words now, it was impossible for him not to be moved.
He couldn't help but laugh, a laugh tinged with an indescribable joy. He stood up, patted his subordinates on the shoulders twice, as if making a promise to them, and said firmly, "Don't worry, follow me. After you leave the Li family, you will only develop better than the Li family. I won't treat you unfairly. Also... no matter how poor I am, I will never be unable to pay your salaries."
Li Chenxu is not one to make promises lightly, but when he does, he always keeps them.
The group was taken aback by the sudden turn of events and stared blankly at Li Chenxu, unable to react.
When Mu Xiaoyu helped the maid bring over the fruit, she immediately noticed the several grown men standing motionless in front of Li Chenxu and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her laughter brought her subordinates back to their senses, and they felt a little embarrassed when they thought about their behavior just now.
"Sir, we'll head back to the company now. After all, resigning requires some handover of work, which may take another day or two. But if there's anything you need us to do, we'll do it right away!"
Li Chenxu shook his head helplessly, waved his hand at them, and said, "Alright, there's nothing much going on these next couple of days. Just focus on handing over your work matters first. You'll have your tiring time later..."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately agreed. Unlike their worried expressions when they arrived, they left with smiles on their faces.
Mu Xiaoyu sat down next to Li Chenxu and teased, "I didn't realize so many people in the company were so loyal to you."
As she spoke, she peeled a mangosteen for Li Chenxu and fed it to him, her eyes full of teasing. Compared to a few months ago, Mu Xiaoyu had become much more lively, like a child, yet possessing the charm of a mature woman. These seemingly contradictory personalities were perfectly blended in her, making her even more attractive.
Li Chenxu rested his chin on one hand, his eyes slightly raised, looking at Mu Xiaoyu with a lazy air, and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm such an unpopular person?"
He was naturally handsome, but he usually presented a gentle demeanor in front of Mu Xiaoyu, radiating a lustrous glow like a piece of white jade.
Such a languid allure is rarely seen in everyday life.
Mu Xiaoyu's heart raced a little as she looked at him, and she quickly lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "It's not that... you always look so fierce outside, it's kind of scary to anyone... I thought they were hoping you'd leave the company..."
Mu Xiaoyu pouted. She had been to Li Chenxu's company several times, and every time Li Chenxu's subordinates faced him, their trembling and fearful appearance made her want to laugh.
So when Li Chenxu's subordinates wanted to follow him and leave the company, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but be surprised.
"Actually... you don't know much about the company. Just take the male employees, if I'm not mistaken, at least half of them would be willing to leave with me. After all, although I'm strict, I treat them very well."
"Are you implying that, aside from male employees, all female employees in the company are willing to leave with you?"
Mu Xiaoyu grasped the key point in the words, and her tone immediately became intensely jealous.
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu was taken aback. If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't said that, he really wouldn't have thought of it that way. Looking at Mu Xiaoyu's mournful eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, I remember when I first joined the company, quite a few women threw themselves at me... Over the years, even after I got married, there are still quite a few female employees who openly or secretly try to get close to me... and some of them are quite good-looking..."
"Stop talking!"
Before Li Chenxu could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu pinched his mouth and covered it with her hand, her round eyes filled with jealousy.
