Chapter 164: Big Sister Didn’t Seem to Oppose Her Approach.

Mrs. Xu’s bag was almost crumpled. She forced a smile. “Of course, I won’t go back on my word.”
If Gu Yang hadn’t left evidence, she would have gone back on her word.
She did not care about the nine designers who had been snatched away from Xue Yao Jewelry. She only felt sorry for the five top jewelry designers she had poached with great difficulty. Those five top jewelry designers were the money trees of her jewelry company!
Ruan Xueling looked at Mrs. Xu’s fake smile and felt happy. She had been tricked by Mrs. Xu so many times in the past. Now, she could finally hold her head high!
Ruan Xueling took out the contract that she had prepared beforehand from her bag and pushed it in front of Mrs. Xu. “Mrs. Xu, I’ve already prepared the contract. There are two copies, all drawn up according to our previous practice.
If there’s no problem, sign it.’
After being forced to sign so many times, it was finally Mrs. Xu’s turn!
Mrs. Xu casually glanced at it and realized that Ruan Xueling had drawn up the contract based on the past contracts she used. She signed it angrily, picked up her bag, and left angrily with Mrs. Qi.
Ruan Xueling looked at them and raised her eyebrows to remind them, “Mrs. Xu, the contract will take effect tomorrow. You have to transfer those 14 designers to Xue Yao Jewelry as soon as possible. Don’t take advantage of any loopholes. I can match the names of those designers to their faces.”
Seeing the two of them leave, Ruan Xueling looked at Gu Yang with a smile. She held her hand, her hands trembling slightly from excitement. “Yangyang, it’s all thanks to you that Mommy can finally avenge my past humiliation!”
Gu Yang held Gu Jin’s arm and smiled brightly like a small sun. “Mom, you also have Big Sister to thank. Ms. Caroline got her inspiration from our photos.”
Ruan Xueling looked at Gu Jin and smiled unnaturally. “Yes, there’s also Little Jin.”
Gu Jin lowered her eyes and played the game as if she did not hear Ruan Xueling’s words.
Ruan Xuelinz frowned and her eves darkened, but she didn’t sav anything.
Gu Yang held Gu Jin’s hand, and there seemed to be a glimmer in her eyes. Big Sister didn’t seem to oppose her approach.
An outstanding psychologist could not only read microexpressions but also subtle body language.
Caroline had never understood the unique subtlety of Chinese people, nor did she notice the subtle change in the atmosphere in the private room. Her blue eyes swirled with curiosity. “Ruan, employees have human rights, isn’t it? Is it okay to make such wagers?”
Caroline was used to using French, so Ruan Xueling couldn’t understand and could only get Gu Yang to translate.
After understanding Caroline’s question, Ruan Xueling explained, “Our country has a complete constitution. Everyone has the right to personal freedom. We didn’t deprive our employees of their rights. The so-called bet on designers is actually equivalent to a job transfer.
“For example, Mrs. Xu had won nine designers from Xue Yao Jewelry previously. In fact, the designers were transferred to the Xu family to work during their tenure. Their salary and other compensation were still paid by Xue Yao Jewelry. They had signed a five-year labor contract with my company, but because I had lost to Mrs. Xu, they will work for Mrs. Xu for five years.
“Now that Mrs. Xu has lost to me, the results of the designers’ labor within the stipulated time of the labor contract belong to Xue Yao Jewelry. The Xu family will pay the salary. Although it’s said that they’re betting on the designers, the stakes are actually the designers’ work.”
Caroline listened and nodded.
Only then did Gu Yang understand. So this was the mechanics of the gamble.
Previously, she had been curious. The Gu family’s power wasn’t strong enough to use employees as bets, right? So the real bet was the results of the employees’ work and the salary they paid.
The winner got to keep their work and made money while the loser paid their wages..
