Finally, it was the day that assistant Li went to Xi business’s head office after his Boss’s death. Losing his Boss in such a sad way, hurt him deeply, and he decided to stay away from the world, as he felt like one lost soul.
Assistant Li went to his own office and collected his stuff as there was no aning for him to stay in the company when the person who brought him there and gave him the new life was not there. He had decided to resign from his job. Moreover, he was sure the person who would take charge of the company would never want him to work there. That person would be either Song iling or Nixxxie, who hated his Boss.
He knew, as much as his Boss was guilty of his actions, he was equally responsible for it as he was his Boss’s loyal employee. Wherever his Boss went, he followed like a shadow. He had no right to face those two won who were deeply hurt by his Boss.
For the last ti, he went to the president’s office to feel his Boss’s presence. The office was empty as yet no one had appointed as the president. Every inch of the president’s office reminded him of the monts he spent with his Boss, and his eyes turned teary as he mumbled.
"I hate you for how you left alone. You have been a bad friend that one could ever have, and I will always hate you for my life. I will never miss you as if you never existed for ."
He tried not to cry, but his tears betrayed his determination. How much he tried, he could never forget Xi Cheng, though the words left his mouth were opposite.
Assistant Li ca out of the office and went to his office back to get the box in which he had collected his stuff. Putting the resignation letter on his table, he thought to leave silently, but just then, Song ilin’s assistant ca to him, and she inford him that her Boss asked him to et her.
Putting the box in his hand on the table, assistant Li picked up the resignation letter from the table, thinking he would hand it over personally.
The mont he entered Song ilin’s office, he was sure that he shouldn’t expect to hear anything good from her, and he decided to accept everything she will say. This much he could do to show respect for her.
"Good Morning, Mrs. Xi," assistant Li greeted Song ilin, who was sitting in her chair behind the worktable.
"Have a seat," Song ilin instructed.
Assistant Li didn’t sit but kept his resignation letter on the table, in front of Song ilin. Song ilin looked at it as she understood what it must be.
"So you have already decided," she comnted.
Assistant Li nodded, "I think this is what Mrs. Xi must be expecting to do, too."
"I never expected the resignation from you," Said Song ilin.
It surprised assistant Li as he thought about what she wanted him to do.
Song ilin continued, "But I expect sothing else from you, only if you are willing to."
"It depends on what it is," said assistant Li.
"I expect loyalty from you, and I am sure it’s not difficult for you," Song ilin replied as she gazed into his eyes confidently.
Again assistant Li got surprised, and Song ilin added, "I wish you to continue working here and be a loyal employee of this company the way you have been till now. The loyalty you offered to your previous Boss, I expect you to continue doing it with whoever your next Boss would be."
"Can I ask, who would be the next boss?"
"Nicky," Song ilin replied.
Assistant Li sowhere knew Nixxxie would be the one, but she was yet to finish her education and yet to learn so much about business, so he thought to discard the possibility.
"I am sorry, but I can’t keep working," said assistant Li.
"May I know the reason," Song ilin asked.
"Ms. Nicky hated my Boss, and I am sure she wouldn’t want to see around. It would only make her uncomfortable and..."
"Or is it like assistant Li will feel uncomfortable around her." Song ilin countered, interrupting him.
Assistant Li couldn’t answer it, and Song ilin understood his silence.
"Tell one thing. Do you regret being loyal to your previous Boss?" Song ilin asked.
"No." A firm reply ca from assistant Li.
"Then, there is nothing for you to feel guilty about. Just keep doing what you have been doing till now as this company needs a loyal and efficient person like you. I am asking you because of your capabilities, and I don’t want to lose one good employee who has been with us for long. This decision is made through the business point of view and not the personal one."
Assistant Li understood Song ilin’s point. Though he was determined to leave the job, deep down it hurt him as his soul was attached to this place and his work.
"I understand, but Ms. Nicky..."
"You don’t need to worry about her. Just drop this idea of resignation, take a break for one week and co back to your work."
Assistant Li bowed a little. "Thank you, Mrs. Xi."
Song ilin nodded slightly, and assistant Li left. He arranged his stuff back in his office at its place and went back ho.
Song ilin knew assistant Li was one good employee and kind of a person who once swore his loyalty to soone; he would never go back on it then whatever it takes. This kind of person Song ilin wanted to keep with her daughter when she would be handling everything.
Moreover, assistant Li’s experience was the useful thing that would benefit Nixxxie and also, he would look after and care for his Boss dedicatedly. Besides getting a position in a company, getting one loyal, efficient, and an experienced assistant was a boon.
