Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 246: Meeting by Appointment

"Another leave request?"

"How can you use ’another’?" Si Yuan chuckled playfully.

"How many days off have you already taken this month?"

Although Zhou Chuan said this, he still approved the leave.

After all, Si Yuan was planning to resign, so why bother nitpicking? If he vexed him, he might just leave right away without taking his month’s salary, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

As for non-competition agreents and contract compliance, it’s just a small company; all that talk is just talk. Nobody would actually take an employee to court over such trivial matters, especially when it’s not a critical position.

Since it was only a half-day’s leave, Zhou Chuan’s signature was sufficient; no need for approval from General Manager Zheng Can.

"What’s the rush for a leave this afternoon?" Zhou Chuan casually asked when Si Yuan requested ti off.

"My girlfriend’s mother is coming to Bin Hai today and wants to et ," Si Yuan replied nonchalantly.

It wasn’t sothing he needed to hide from others, so he didn’t plan to conceal it.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan didn’t continue the subject. Instead, after signing the leave form, he handed it back to Si Yuan.

Si Yuan, with the leave form in hand, headed towards the finance departnt.

As soon as he left the office, it exploded with commotion.

"Wow, is Si Yuan going to et his future mother-in-law..."

"What future mother-in-law? It could be splitting lovers apart; maybe it’s a rich older lady..."

"How do you know she’s rich..."

"SX, didn’t you see how wealthy his girlfriend is? Her mom must definitely be wealthy..."

"Si Yuan seems to be in a fix. They haven’t been together that long, right? It seems her mother has specially co from afar to Bin Hai. It can’t be so soon to et the parents unless it’s about splitting them apart. But it makes sense, the disparity between them is just too great, no matter from which aspect you compare..."

Everyone was analyzing the situation thoroughly.

But what was more prevalent was schadenfreude. As the saying goes, you dread your brother suffering, yet envy him driving a Land Rover.

Although they were genuinely happy for Si Yuan for dating a beautiful and rich girlfriend, they sincerely hoped things would fall through.

After all, everyone was supposed to be living life on an equal plane, so why should he be living so well all of a sudden?

Si Yuan delivered the leave form to the finance office, where Mr. Fu, in charge of attendance, was surprised to see him.

"You’re taking leave again?"

"Yes."

Si Yuan wasn’t familiar with him, so he didn’t feel like giving any further explanation.

But just because he didn’t explain, it didn’t an Mr. Fu wouldn’t comnt.

"Has there been too much leave in your departnt lately?"

"Is that so? I’m not too clear on that."

Si Yuan was puzzled. Was there soone else who took leave? Maybe it was during a ti he was away.

"Work isn’t done this way; this will affect your departnt’s evaluation," Mr. Fu said.

Si Yuan frowned slightly. How to work and whether it affected evaluations were none of an accountant’s business.

So, without a good attitude, he replied, "Then don’t do it at all, I’ve been planning to resign recently."

Just as Mr. Fu was about to speak, Jiang Wenxin, in the sa office, showed a look of surprise.

"Xiao Shen, you’re resigning?" She stood up from her seat.

"Yes, I’ve been considering it," Si Yuan said.

"Out of the blue, why are you thinking of resigning?" Jiang Wenxin said.

She naturally hoped that Shen Siyuan would stay, thinking proximity could bring advantages. Although they didn’t interact much daily, it would be convenient to find each other when necessary.

The folks from the accounting departnt all pricked up their ears, with a look of relish. After so long, they hadn’t known that Accountant Jiang actually had a connection with Shen Siyuan from the operations departnt. What a well-kept secret.

"There’s so personal stuff I have to deal with, which affects my work. Might as well resign," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing him say this, Jiang Wenxin didn’t ask further but proposed: "Are you free tonight? Your Brother Tao would like to invite you over for a al."

"Today, definitely not today, I have things to do today, which is why I’ve co to ask for leave."

"Alright then, let’s make it another day," Jiang Wenxin said.

"Sure, let’s leave it at that for now," Shen Siyuan said, his gaze shifting to Mr. Fu.

Mr. Fu imdiately displayed an exaggerated smile and spoke directly: "No problem with the leave note, just leave it with ."

Hearing that, Shen Siyuan turned and left the office, running straight into Lin Manzhi.

"Shen Siyuan, are you going to et your mother-in-law this afternoon? Planning to get married so soon?" she asked with a smile.

"Just eting her, not so fast," Shen Siyuan said.

"Then shouldn’t you dress up a bit before going to et your future mother-in-law?" Lin Manzhi teased with a smile.

"What’s wrong with the way I’m dressed?" Shen Siyuan looked down at himself.

White short-sleeved T-shirt with black casual shorts and sneakers; it did seem a bit plain, but Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t seem to have ntioned anything in the morning.

"You’re dressed too casually; it might co off as disrespectful," Lin Manzhi said.

"Is that so? Then I... never mind..."

Shen Siyuan was about to say he would go back and change, but looking at the ti, it seed it was already too late.

"You’d better not let such a good girlfriend slip away."

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s nonchalant attitude, Lin Manzhi was truly worried for him.

"Got it, Sister Manzhi, thanks for your concern," Shen Siyuan sincerely thanked her.

In fact, Shen Siyuan was well aware that despite the daily laughter in the office, there were actually very few who truly wished him well.

Upon returning to the office, Shen Siyuan packed up his things and left.

He needed to go a little earlier; after all, Ruan Hongzhuang’s mother was an elder and it wouldn’t be proper to keep her waiting.

He had the confidence to keep everyone waiting if needed, but the necessary respect had to be given, you can’t lose yourself – after all, he was human, not a deity.

The tea houses in Bin Hai were a bit different from those in other places, especially in the Northern areas.

In the Northern tea houses, it’s really just a place for tea, perhaps with so nuts and snacks.

But the tea houses in Bin Hai are more like the breakfast spots in the North.

Stead buns, dumplings, braised snacks, cold dishes, etc., the basic selection counts in the dozens, the extensive ones may even have hundreds, with a range of foods and drinks, it’s quite astonishing.

The tea house chosen by Ruan Hongzhuang was considered an exquisite one; the food was of higher quality and more refined, and the environnt was also better, so there weren’t many seats and reservations were required in advance.

When Shen Siyuan gave Ruan Hongzhuang’s na, the waiter led him to a spot by the window.

Ruan Hongzhuang hadn’t arrived; Shen Siyuan didn’t order any food but just requested a pot of tea, quietly waiting.

"Siyuan..."

About ten minutes later, Shen Siyuan heard Ruan Hongzhuang calling him.

Turning towards the voice, he saw Ruan Hongzhuang striding towards him, with a middle-aged beautiful woman who bore a resemblance to Ruan Hongzhuang following behind her, along with Jiang Taoshi whom he recognized.

Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, surprised that Jiang Taoshi had also co along.

But now was not the ti for him to ponder, as he greeted them with a smile on his face.
