Chapter 776: The Calm before the Storm (2)_1
They both attached great importance to this selection; to lose the opportunity without even trying must also be a significant blow for Jiaqi.
She patted An Hao on the shoulder and said, "I’m leaving first to handle my resignation. See you."
"Alright, goodbye," An Hao watched Eleven leave, then turned to look in the direction where Song Jiaqi had disappeared, biting her lip and murmuring something, "I’m sorry..."
Song Jiaqi had no money on her, so she had to walk home, which took some time.
Earlier in the morning, the appearance of Ye Yang had disrupted her usual thinking. Now that she was back home and settled down, her mood suddenly started to sour.
Song Jiaqi had come to Xicheng alone, promising her family when she left home that she would make a name for herself in the future. But looking at her current situation, she could only give a bitter smile.
She was even afraid to go home during the holidays.
Locking the door, she didn’t have the energy to take another step. She slid down against the door and sat on the floor, suddenly bursting into tears.
...
"Qianxun, are you really leaving?"
News of Eleven’s departure from SA Company left her colleagues, who she had worked with for some time, somewhat regretful.
Eleven was always gentle and kindhearted to everyone. Those who didn’t know her past and had no intention of making her an adversary actually liked her very much. Because of her status, it wasn’t the same as in school where most people isolated her.
"Yes, let’s get together again when we have the chance. My number hasn’t changed, remember to include me in any gatherings."
After saying goodbye to her friends, she visited the HR and finance departments to settle her salary.
Su Qing was waiting for her outside SA Company, sent by Gu Liancheng to escort her to lunch with the president.
...
"Finally resigned," Gu Liancheng had been waiting for this day for quite a while, "seeing you being bullied by Lin Qiang in that company every day, my heart aches."
Eleven chuckled, "So cheesy!"
Gu Liancheng laughed as well.
The meal was harmonious, in a quiet corner, everyone was eating on their own, and no one paid attention to them.
"Now that you’ve resigned and have the afternoon off, do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need. Aren’t you busy right now? Go about your business, don’t worry about me. I can make arrangements for myself," Eleven said while she was eating dessert, and then asked, "I haven’t seen any movements from Gu Tianyu recently. Is this the calm before the storm?"
"No matter what happens, we’ll face it when it comes. He may have his plans but I have my countermeasures. Don’t worry," Gu Liancheng flicked her forehead lightly, "you don’t need to worry about the company anymore. I’ll handle it. If you still had to worry about all this, what would I be doing as a president?"
"I just thought of him randomly and asked."
He flicked her again, and just as she was frowning and covering her forehead, he said, "Every man except me should get out of my wife’s mind."
His words made Eleven laugh as if he had cast a spell on her.
After laughing for a while, she quieted down again, stirring her cup with a spoon, overwhelmed with worries.
Day by day, the date of his engagement with Shang Muxue was approaching. She felt increasingly uneasy, feeling restless, but didn’t know why.
"What’s wrong?"
"Hmm... nothing..." she shook her head, "just a little tightness in my chest, maybe I ate too fast."
