“Nothing. I didn’t see you when I came home, so I was a little worried,” Lin Chu explained as she went into her bedroom, turned on the lights and threw her bag on the bed. She too jumped into bed.
“My superior caught hold of me right after work. We’ve been contacting those in T City all the way and there were a mess of documents to go through. We had to work them all the way, I was so battered by it all that I forgot to inform you.” Xu Moyan sounded tired on the phone. There was the sound of someone speaking on the phone next to her that sounded exasperated discussing about reaching a certain consensus. It really sounded busy.
“Oh yeah, how was your dinner? Were you taken advantage of?” Xu Moyan asked.
“Yao Xingzhi was indeed fishy. My superior and that Zhu Jingjing tried to get me into trouble but I managed to escape. They didn’t manage to do anything to me. I’m resigning tomorrow.” Lin Chu turned to her side as she fiddled with the phone.
“Just resign away. This is a lousy company. Even if you managed to get away this time, but what about next time? You can’t always put yourself in such a situation, there will come a time when you can’t avoid it. Don’t worry about anything this period of time, you still have me to help with the rent,” Xu Moyan tried to cheer her up, sounding energetic.
Lin Chu smiled and chatted a little more with her until she heard Xu Moyan’s superior called out to her and hung up.
She lied down on the bed and emptied her mind for a while before getting up to turn on her computer. While the computer was powering up, she took a bath, tidied up a little and changed into her pajamas before sitting down to type her resignation letter.
...
The next day, Lin Chu came to office early. There were only two people there when she arrived. You Weiwen and Zhu Jingjing had not arrived.
Lin Chu printed out her resignation letter and saw You Weiwen and Zhu Jingjing came in one after the other when she was walking towards her seat. They met head-on and You Weiwen and Zhu Jingjing were momentarily stunned, looking uncomfortable.
Lin Chu did not say anything but went back to her seat to tidy up. Just as she prepared to enter You Weiwen’s office, she saw Zhu Jingjing going in with him. Her lips curled. These two must be discussing on how to handle the situation from last night.
She made no attempt to avoid them and took her resignation letter to You Weiwen’s office, knocking a few times on the door.
She went in without waiting for someone to react from behind the door.
The two of them did not have time to cover up their solemn expressions when they saw her and were both surprised.
Lin Chu walked directly to the table and gave You Weiwen her resignation letter right in front of Zhu Jingjing, “Manager You, I’ve come to resign today, which I hope would be effective immediately.”
You Weiwen coughed uncomfortably and said, “Lin Chu, if this is about last night, then we should have a talk. What happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. I did not expect Yao Xingzhi to act the way he did. I can guarantee you will never be caught in another situation like that again. You can work here in peace, how does that sound? You don’t need to wait for your probation period to be over either. I’ll just give a report to the boss to make you a permanent employee, how is that?”
Lin Chu made no attempt to hide her sarcasm in her reply. “Manager You, your sudden decency towards me is out of respect for Master Yan, right? Do you think keeping me here would help with Yan Hui’s business?”
