Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

"Yang Ke, do you know what you're saying?!"

Ye Jinyan looked at the resignation letter Yang Ke handed him and angrily slammed his fist on the desk.

"Mr. Ye, isn't it normal for people to strive for better things? I want to start my own business."

Yang Ke didn't pay any attention.

It's just a job; don't listen to the promises the boss makes. This is a concept that Yang Ke, who came from the modern world, had long ago.

Even if one were to travel back to the Golden Years and become Yang Ke, it would only strengthen this awareness, rather than continuing to be a working-class person.

Moreover, Yang Ke already harbored rebellious intentions, which naturally accelerated his resignation.

With Yang Ke's systematic approach and good progress, there's no need for him to worry about Ye Jinyan's next offensive.

"Row."

Ye Jinyan isn't the type to fly into a rage out of incompetence; who knows how things turned out in the story?

Before the stock market crash, Jingyan Group's market value was at least 600 billion yuan. Could a mere sales manager and a single real estate project have such a significant impact?

Besides, they can't possibly only have one accountant, but there will definitely be an impact. However, Ye Jinyan is not the kind of person who will easily admit defeat, so there's nothing for her to be angry about.

Of course, now that only Yang Ke has left, Ye Jinyan can still accept it.

After Pan Yueling, Tang Xin, and Li Ang leave, Ye Jinyan will probably really be furious.

In this way, Yang Ke successfully fired his boss Ye Jinyan and left Jingyan Group.

The news shocked the sales department as soon as it spread throughout the company, but that wasn't the end of it.

"Fan Jingang!"

Ye Jinyan knew that Yang Ke was not the kind of person who would obediently listen to orders, so after Yang Ke left, he immediately called Fan Jingang over.

"Mr. Ye."

Fan Jingang also knew about Yang Ke's resignation earlier, so he didn't say much. After all, Ye Jinyan was angry, and he didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

"Go check the recent departures in the sales department."

Ye Jinyan waved his hand, telling Fan Jingang to check the situation, while he himself made phone calls to other companies to find out who had poached Yang Ke or if they were collaborating.

He knew Yang Ke's capabilities. He could only act as an intermediary in his own company for now. In the end, he would need to cooperate with others to grow stronger, so he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

"Congratulations, host, for betraying your former employer and acquiring a real estate company in Shanghai with a market value of 30 billion yuan. The company also has a new housing project worth 20 billion yuan."

That feels good. The reward for betraying one's former employer is so generous?

Yang Ke was happy when he saw the rewards issued by the system.

The reason it's a new company is that his company had already reached an agreement with Tang Xin on a shareholding partnership. If this real estate project were to be included, it would become very complicated.

But if it's his personal property, it's a bit like a construction company handing over the property to him and Tang Xin's company for sales, with him and Tang Xin's company acting as intermediaries.

In this way, he can earn a considerable amount of money for his construction company, and also give the new company a good small project, allowing his sales staff to gain experience.

Otherwise, the project he collaborated on with the real estate company that was opposed to Jingyan Group was a top-tier development, specifically designed to compete with Dongli.

Aside from Albert and Tony, there aren't many reliable people. If the other sales staff starve, his new company won't even be able to maintain its sales, let alone its reputation.

After all, the company can't arrange good properties for the sales staff. If they can't make money, why would they work for you when the base salary is so low?

Of course, the most crucial point is that having his own real estate company to build houses allows Yang Ke to take the initiative instead of always playing the role of an intermediary.

"It seems we need to get Li Ang here as soon as possible..."

Yang Ke frowned as he thought of the information his system had given him.

The main problem is that the new company doesn't have much besides a building; the office building is only one floor, and there aren't many employees.

This explains why a 2 billion yuan real estate project only has a market value of 3 billion yuan; the company's staffing situation clearly illustrates this.

The system also suggested that Yang Ke needed to find some professionals himself.

Fortunately, it's a small real estate company, and as long as Yang Ke is willing to delegate authority, it doesn't actually lack manpower.

If it weren't for the plot, he would definitely have let a chosen worker like Li Ang manage the company for him. But now, for the sake of the new company, he has no choice but to find headhunters to recruit people for the real estate company himself.

That evening, at Yang Ke and Pan Yueling's house.

"Now that you've resigned, when can I come over?"

Pan Yueling asked excitedly.

She was already tired of hiding their relationship for four years and couldn't wait to quit her job and become the boss's wife at Yang Ke's company tomorrow.

"Let's do it tomorrow. The company's finances need you to take the lead."

Yang Ke didn't give up on Pan Yueling either, and tried to appease her with platitudes.

"Then can we go public with our relationship now?"

Pan Yueling was more concerned about the relationship between the two of them, after all, she couldn't wait any longer.

"There's nothing to hide at the company, after all, you're my girlfriend."

"But what I mean is, it's fine as long as people know, don't make a fuss about it."

Yang Ke did not intend to deny Pan Yueling a formal status.

But a girlfriend can be one of them, that doesn't matter.

"If I don't make a fuss, then what am I?"

Pan Yueling's heart sank.

On one hand, it was influenced by Yang Ke's words, and on the other hand, it was something he had rubbed by hand.

“Aside from that certificate, what’s the difference between our current relationship and that of a married couple?”

"Alright, let's get down to business first. We can talk about other work tomorrow."

Yang Ke waved his hand, signaling Pan Yueling to get busy.

Pan Yueling wanted to say something, but seeing Yang Ke's aggressive demeanor, she could only nod silently.

Two hours later, Pan Yueling also successfully fainted.

There's no way around it; Yang Ke is not the same person he used to be, and Pan Yueling can't adapt to this change in a short time.

"Congratulations, host, on completing your first step after landing. You have already defeated your sweetheart and gained +5 Charm."

Not bad. His honesty with Pan Yueling makes him undeniably a scumbag, and the system even gave him 5 points of charm as a bonus.

It's important to know that Yang Ke himself is quite charismatic; after all, without some charm, he wouldn't have been able to get most of the sales staff in the Jingyan sales department to follow him.

The next day, after waking up, Pan Yueling thought about what had happened the night before and glanced at Yang Ke, whose charm had increased significantly. She still obediently refrained from bringing up the topic of their relationship and instead dutifully made breakfast for Yang Ke.

"You should resign today. There's a lot of work to do in the finance department, and we also have sales targets for two real estate projects. Your list will come in handy."

Yang Ke explained the situation while eating.

"Oh, I see."

Pan Yueling understands the concept of sunk costs, and besides, she has genuine feelings for Yang Ke, so naturally she didn't reject what he said.

After explaining things to Pan Yueling, Yang Ke changed his clothes and prepared to go to a headhunting company to ask them to help recruit some of the talents they needed, and also to visit Kejian Real Estate Company.

Yes, this is the name of the real estate company that the system rewarded Yang Ke with.
