Chapter 14 The “Graduated” CTO

"Tell me more, Lao Pi?"

As soon as he heard the keyword "new task", Li Hao's heart, which had just calmed down, began to get excited again.

The last mission not only allowed him to successfully step into the AI ​​circle, but also inspired him to have a different life plan than before, and everything is developing in a good direction.

[Based on the current package of tasks, you've made a good start and opened up a new situation. Next, I'll use the ride-hailing service as an opportunity to get to know people from different fields and enhance my other abilities.]

"What ability? Is it your endurance or your number of times?" Li Hao asked jokingly.

"Xiao Li, it's pointless to tell you now. Also, pay attention to your attitude and focus on the mission itself. Everything will be the best arrangement."

Lao Pi answered mysteriously.

"Well, we're already so familiar with each other, yet you're still being mysterious. Doesn't distance make beauty?"

Li Hao thought angrily and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, Li Hao stood in front of a towering transparent building. The entire building was composed of flowing light and data streams, like the intersection of technology and knowledge.

Each floor of the building flashes a different color, symbolizing various areas of financial knowledge: stocks, bonds, currencies, and corresponding derivatives, investment portfolios... Countless ordinary people flocked to this building from all directions, with expectations and confusion on their faces.

Li Hao walked into the building with light steps.

He seemed to be walking on a river of data, with invisible forces around him lifting him up.

Every corner of the building is filled with the breath of knowledge.

A huge screen suspended in the air played complex investment concepts, but presented them in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

People looked up and gazed, their eyes gradually becoming clear and firm from the initial confusion.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man who had just understood the basic concepts of investment smiled with joy; a young girl who had just learned how to build her own investment portfolio was full of confidence.

Everyone is just like what Li Hao once dreamed of - no longer isolated by the barriers of wealth, but can participate equally in the capital market.

Deep in the dream, a breeze blew by, and Li Hao's heartbeat gradually became in sync with the rhythm of this world.

He watched the world in front of him move from chaos to order, wealth was no longer the privilege of a few, and the whole society became more equal and harmonious due to the popularization of knowledge.

At this moment, Li Hao seemed to hear the sound of waves in the distance, which seemed to be the pulse of the world - it was a huge energy that pushed the world forward, and Li Hao was standing at the forefront of this wave.

He smiled, realizing that this was his dream—a future without financial barriers, a world where everyone could control their own wealth.

The next morning, Li Hao was still immersed in the wonderful feeling in his dream.

"This dream... feels so real." Li Hao rubbed his forehead, his thoughts still swirling.

[Okay, stop daydreaming and get to work. Today, I'm going to the Jingwang SOHO area in the sunset district. The hours are a bit more flexible than last time, from 11:30 to 11:35. During this time, if you take orders, you might even meet a CTO. Mission objective: Invite him to become a partner in the new company you're planning.]

Lao Pi's voice woke Li Hao up.

When he heard that he was a technician, Li Hao immediately found an outfit of black shirt, jeans and gray sneakers, looking like a "Lee Boots".

……

"You have successfully grabbed the order. The distance to the pick-up location is 0.8 km. Departure point: North Gate of Jingwang SOHOT2, Xiyang District. Destination: Departure Level, Terminal 3, Beijing International Airport."

As the phone showed that the order was successfully accepted, Li Hao looked at his watch. It was 11:31.

He knew that the next moment would be the time for him to show his eloquence again.

It seems that the passengers this time are about to leave Beijing City. I don’t know what they encountered.

He immediately started the car and headed for the departure point.

……

An hour ago, on the 10th floor of Jingwang SOHOT2, in the general manager's office of Noah Technology.

"Xu Lei, you should quit your job as CTO from now on. Look at you, you're already 35, and with only this much ability, the company is paying you so much. Do you think you deserve it?"

A man in a high-end suit spoke first, his eyes full of disdain.

"Wang Xiao, let me go, okay! Give me N+1, and the non-compete agreement must be terminated! Otherwise, I can't accept it. You are illegally terminating the labor contract! Then it will be 2N. I will definitely arbitrate with you to the end!"

Another man said.

"You've worked for 10 years. Based on your current salary, if we give you 11 months' salary, wouldn't that mean the company will lose a lot of money? The most we can do is give you the equity you have and buy it back at the appraised value. That's good enough."

Wang Xiao sneered, staring at Xu Lei sharply, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

Xu Lei replied firmly, "Mr. Wang, don't forget, you took the initiative to terminate my contract. The company's rules and regulations clearly state that N+1 is your obligation. If you don't follow the rules, you can always go through arbitration. No one can expect to lose a penny. Besides, my shares should have been reclaimed!"

Wang Xiao's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms on the table, and said with disdain, "Arbitration? Just you? Do you know what kind of power is behind the company? Besides, what have you done for the company over the years? Haven't you been slacking off? Do you really think you're worth that money?"

Xu Lei stared at him intently, anger gleaming in his eyes. "Slacking off? I built the entire technical architecture from scratch, and you said nothing. Now you're saying I didn't contribute? If it weren't for me, Noah Technology would have been shut down long ago! You've been squeezing the technical department's resources for years, and I've been working overtime to fill the gaps, and now you're distancing yourself from anything!"

Wang Xiao sneered, "Save those words for the arbitration! Do you really think a tech geek like you can fight against capital? Honestly, I'm not the only one supporting Noah Technology. If you really get to that point, you might end up with more than just unemployment."

Xu Lei clenched his fists and looked coldly at Wang Xiao in front of him.

The fierce confrontation just now made him feel furious, but he knew that he didn't have many choices in the current situation.

Wang Xiao obviously had no intention of compensating him, and the non-compete agreement made him feel like a thorn in his throat.

Both sides were silent for a while.

Finally, Xu Lei took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mr. Wang, you can do it! I can resign voluntarily, but I must terminate the non-compete agreement at the same time. This is my only request."

A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Xiao's eyes, but then he showed a sly smile, as if he had succeeded.

He sat back in his chair, tapped the table lightly, his face full of amusement. "Voluntary resignation? Great, that saves me a lot of trouble. Are you sure? Terminating the non-compete agreement is fine, but N+1—you won't get a penny."

Xu Lei sat down like a deflated ball and responded, "I'm voluntarily resigning after the equity is liquidated and the non-compete agreement is terminated. I won't be taking the N+1. This is my bottom line."

Wang Xiao stood up, walked over to Xu Lei, stared into his eyes, and sneered, "Okay, I promise. Let HR draft a separation agreement and cancel the non-compete agreement. You leave, and this matter is over."

Xu Lei said no more, nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly heard Wang Xiao's voice coming from behind him, with an unbridled smile: "Hey, wait! Since you're so straightforward, I won't waste any more time. Just post on WeChat Moments and tell everyone that you've voluntarily resigned, so those people won't have to speculate."

Xu Lei stopped and looked back.

Wang Xiao had already picked up his phone and casually opened his WeChat Moments, muttering to himself as he typed, "CTO Xu Lei voluntarily resigned today. I have to say, some people can't handle the situation on their own, yet still try to profit from the company. Resignation is fine, but everyone should be more careful in the future and not trust people like that so easily."

After he finished typing, he smiled proudly and showed the phone screen to Xu Lei, as if he was admiring his own "masterpiece".

"How about it? You can see for yourself whether I'm fair?"

Xu Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, his anger almost boiling in his heart, but he still remained calm on the surface.

He didn't say anything else, looked at Mr. Wang coldly, turned around and left the office.

……

At this moment, Li Hao has already arrived at his destination.

The person who appeared in front of Li Hao was Xu Lei, who was carrying his luggage!
