Zhang Dong’s expression beca complicated after he entered the office. He worried that Tang Xiaowan would make things difficult for him or delay his resignation procedures.
He couldn’t afford to delay, as he had secretly signed an agreent with his next employer the day before.
They could only wait for him for a month.
"Speak, what is it?" Tang Xiaowan had just sat down and went straight to the point.
"I want to resign."
After saying this, Zhang Dong took out his resignation letter from the inner pocket of his suit and respectfully placed it closest to Tang Xiaowan.
Tian Jiaojiao’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, thinking that with his resignation, the boss would have to choose soone else to fill the position.
However, Tang Xiaowan appeared very calm. She smiled, glanced at the resignation letter, did not even look at it, and directly gestured for Tian Jiaojiao to take it away.
"Tell , why are you resigning?"
She still had to ask, even though this was the outco Tang Xiaowan had been hoping for several days.
"I’ve been working here for five years, and to be honest, I really hate to leave," Zhang Dong explained with a frown. "The main reason is my father is getting old. He suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and since I am the only son, I must go back ho. I’m sorry."
This was a very good reason to resign!
He was needed back ho to fulfill his filial duties. As a boss, she surely couldn’t lack even this basic human decency?
"Are you sure? When will you leave?"
Zhang Dong: "..."
As a deputy general manager, wasn’t she going to try to retain him?
Could she still be upset about the recorder incident?
Forget it, the fact that she hadn’t accused was already a miracle.
"Yes, I’ve made up my mind." Zhang Dong, looking tense, continued, "I will finish my current tasks as quickly as possible, the sooner the better."
"As long as you finish the handover, you can leave," Tang Xiaowan replied with a slight smile, agreeing very readily.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong was stunned.
He suspected Tang Xiaowan was setting a trap for him, or perhaps she had already found soone to replace him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed so quickly.
"Everything else is fine, but so tasks..."
Tang Xiaowan sipped her tea and said indifferently: "Directly hand them over to Wu Qiming."
"Thank you for your consideration, boss!"
Zhang Dong was still sowhat shocked by this outco, and he hadn’t expected that he would be handing over tasks to Wu Qiming, whom he had always looked down upon.
Was this ant to consolidate the positions into a single role?
Now that things had co to this point, he couldn’t worry about that anymore. It was most important to quickly finish his tasks and report to his new employer.
...
Half an hour later, at Lingxiao Manor.
"Did I hear that Zhang Dong is leaving?"
Although Leng Lingxiao knew it was only a matter of ti before he left, he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
His little wife had taken care of it in just a few days.
Tang Xiaowan nodded with pride: "Yes, exactly, and he even resigned voluntarily, couldn’t wait to leave."
"Not bad, quite impressive! So, who are you planning to have take over his duties?"
"I haven’t decided yet."
"Do you need to help you think it through?"
Right then, Shen Yiming suddenly approached quickly, holding a blue folder in his hand.
Tang Xiaowan guessed he was just there to mix in with the crowd for the barbecued lamb chops; stewed just couldn’t compare in aroma, but appearances had to be maintained so the folder beca a prop.
"Wow, slls really good!"
Seeing this, Zhao Renjie quickly helped Shen Yiming with his chair and signaled the servant to add a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.
"Perfect timing!" Tang Xiaowan said with a smile, "Are you free this afternoon? Let’s take a trip to Hai Sheng."
Shen Yiming put down the folder and replied without thinking, "Yes, I also have so matters to discuss in detail with Mr. Ye. What ti?"
"After I wake up from my nap, probably around three."
"Okay. By the way, this folder contains companies that are quite capable in dical equipnt. I’ve briefly sorted it out; you can take a look if needed."
"Oh my God, I really need this. Thank you!"
"Don’t ntion it. I’m a consultant after all, so of course, I should be more concerned. Also, that house is nice. Nannan liked it after seeing it, but Nannan said that just because we are friends, I shouldn’t take advantage of your kindness for free and must compensate you at the market rate."
Leng Lingxiao: "..."
He’s really good at using Li Ruonan!
"Don’t worry, as long as she likes it. So Nannan isn’t thinking of leaving Chicheng now, is she? Not going back to Country D, right?" Tang Xiaowan asked with concern.
"She said she wants to settle here, not leaving, there is the sea here, and there’s you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but look at Leng Lingxiao, feeling very happy. But at the sa ti, she also thought of another friend, Chen Yu.
She wondered whether the one hundred thousand yuan was enough for the cryotherapy, and whether the birthmark had faded.
She hadn’t asked directly because she was afraid it would embarrass Chen Yu.
How could it not be enough, though? One hundred thousand yuan was a huge amount for Chen Yu. Not to ntion removing the birthmark; even the tuition fees for the senior year of university, living expenses, and costs of renting an apartnt during the internship period could all be covered by it, with money to spare.
By giving this money, Tang Xiaowan essentially eased her friend’s burdens in one stroke; now she could just focus on her studies.
...
anwhile, at Jin City University.
Chen Yu and Chen Nan were on their way back to the Foreign Language College, but Chen Yu seed preoccupied, glancing at her phone every now and then.
What’s the matter? Why hasn’t he replied yet?
It’s already this ti; he must have finished eating, right? Could he have not seen the ssage?
It would be better just to call.
"Where did you get so much money in your account?" Chen Nan suddenly stopped walking and asked sternly.
He already had an answer in his mind.
Chen Yu was startled at first, then stamred in reply, "It was, it was Xiaowan. Last Friday, I, I will pay her back in the future."
Chen Nan let out a long sigh of relief.
It was Tang Xiaowan, of course. Who else could it be, giving that much money all at once!
She truly regarded Chen Yu as a friend.
"Why didn’t you tell about the recurrence of the birthmark? Why bother Tang Xiaowan? You know about her relationship with Li Zishen. Isn’t this making things difficult for her? She is already Mr. Leng’s wife. How appropriate do you think it is for her to approach Li Zishen for you?"
"In the end, I didn’t go. Of course I know, that’s why Xiaowan thought about lending so money."
"It’s not about whether you went or not, it’s about you being too... Have you ever thought that the experintal drugs in the lab are not ant to be handed out casually? The drugs are clearly available for sale in pharmacies, yet you insisted on the samples."
At this, Chen Yu looked at Chen Nan in astonishnt. "How did you know about the sample drugs?"
She had never ntioned this to Chen Nan before as she felt too ashad. She stubbornly believed that if her birthmark returned to its original state, she would definitely lose him.
She liked him and wanted to be with him forever, right up to walking down the aisle.
"Was it Li Ying who told you?"
Chen Nan: "..."
Why bring up Li Ying again?
Sigh, I even confessed in front of all our classmates. Why is she still having these wild thoughts?
Chen Nan shook his head with a furrowed brow. "No, it wasn’t Li Ying. I happened to co back with water when you were calling Tang Xiaowan."
"You even learned to eavesdrop!"
"It wasn’t eavesdropping; I just happened to hear. Also, whose call did you just take? Why did you hide from and go to the corridor? Who was that person?"
At this, Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
She instinctively touched the scarf around her neck, as if her birthmark had been seen through.
