Chapter 1187: 1186 consecutive bad things

Yu Zhen felt like bursting into flames the moment he heard her voice. If it weren’t for Yu Xian, he wouldn’t have lost so much investment, “What do you want from me? Go bother your dad, don’t annoy me!”

Yu Xian was very displeased with her uncle’s attitude. “Uncle, when I entered the entertainment industry, you had already promised to take good care of me. Now, I’m having problems at work, and you’re not even trying to help me out. Instead, you tell me to go to my dad who is way too busy to assist me.”

Yu Zhen retorted angrily, “Then go to your mom! She’s playing mahjong all day long. Can’t you give her something to do?”

Yu Xian could tell her uncle was upset, so she softened her approach. “Uncle, I was wrong just now. I apologize. Please, don’t be angry anymore.”

Yu Zhen still adored his niece and couldn’t bear to really lash out at her. “Xian Xian, I honestly can’t help with your new drama. There’s a bit of trouble here that I need to sort out. Why don’t you take some time off? Once you’re rested and things here are back to normal, I’ll arrange a new show for you, okay?”

Although Yu Xian was reluctant, she didn’t argue further. “Uncle, make sure you arrange it quickly, okay?”

Yu Zhen promised, “Okay, I will handle it as fast as I can.”

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhen shouted, “Get me a cup of coffee.”

However, no one responded for a long while. His temper flared up again, and he yelled out, “Has everyone died out there? I asked for a cup of coffee, didn’t you hear me?”

After a good while, still no one replied, and he then remembered that he had fired his assistant earlier.

Yu Zhen sighed deeply, pressed his fingers against his temples, then stood up to make coffee himself. However, being accustomed to being served, he didn’t know how to make coffee and accidentally scalded his hand with the hot water, turning it bright red.

He had no choice but to go to the hospital for treatment, but the hospital was so crowded that he wasn’t seen until almost the end of the doctor’s shift.

He thought that would be the end of his troubles, but he was far too optimistic.

“Director Yu, this is my resignation letter.” An employee who had been with Yu Zhen for ten years submitted his resignation, apologizing, “My mother is ill, and she might need my care, so I must quit to look after her.”

Yu Zhen found this statement odd, “What do you mean she might need your care? I need a definite answer.”

The veteran employee immediately corrected himself, “Oh, then my mother is ill, and she needs me to take care of her, so I have to resign.”

Yu Zhen said, “If your mother is ill, you should work even harder. How else will you afford her medical bills?”

The old employee said, “It’s okay, my mom has health insurance. It’s really useful nowadays, covering seventy percent of the expenses.”

This employee had worked under Yu Zhen for ten years and was quite satisfactory. His sudden departure was definitely something Yu Zhen wanted to prevent. However, no matter what Yu Zhen said, he no longer wanted to stay.

Yu Zhen thought he genuinely wanted to leave to care for his mother, so he finally accepted his resignation.

However, a day later, two more employees resigned. This time, it was two young girls who didn’t provide any reason other than saying they were too tired and didn’t want to work there anymore.

Since they were new, Yu Zhen didn’t mind much, and he approved their resignation as soon as it was submitted.

At this point, Director Yu hadn’t yet realized the severity of the issue.

Employees left one after another, each with their own reasons. Some wanted to go back to their hometowns to develop; some to take over family businesses, but most left due to family emergencies.

As Yu Zhen saw the number of people in his company dwindling, he urgently asked the HR department to recruit more staff, but even the HR employees had left, leaving no one to help him recruit.

It seemed as though the resigning employees had agreed to leave together, and Yu Zhen couldn’t hold onto any of them.

Where did those resigning employees go?

This brings us to Liang Lu.

After graduation, Liang Lu made several web movies and dramas with substantial investments. The productions were of high quality and received great feedback, prompting her to decide to start a film and television company to expand her development.
