Is It Possible to Maintain My 6 Years’ Ordinary Residence In Hong Kong & Get the Right of Abode Next Year if I Plan to Move to Taiwan Soon?

What happens if you get to 6 years continuous ordinary residence then plan to leave Hong Kong?
QUESTION
Hello,
I am in Hong Kong since 6 years on an employment visa all throughout and am aiming for PR next year in July.
However, I am about to change job and the new company wants me to move to Taipei.
I have the flexibility to negotiate with them.
With an objective to be eligible to apply for the Right of Abode next year, what should I do? Please let me know.
Should I ask for a Hong Kong contract and that is enough and be transferred or do i need to be on Hong Kong contract and also maintain a rented apartment here?
I would want to get it done in simplest way without too much costs to me or to the employer.
Thank you for your advice in advance.
