Chapter 600 - Can’t Let You Go (2)
Su Jingyi remained silent for a moment. She had already made up her mind to leave the Yun Group and follow her family to Shanghai, where they currently resided. This was also the reason why her younger brother came to Shenzhen to see her today.
"If you come here to convince me to stay, you are wasting your time, Yun Zhen." She finally said with a quick glance towards him after the long silence between them. She ignored how his face fell upon hearing her answer.
"Is there anything I could do to change your mind?" He asked, his eyes flashed with determination to negotiate with her. If there's a chance that he could convince her, he would do so. While he respected Su Jingyi's wishes, he wasn't ready to accept her resignation prem.a.t.u.r.ely.
What he liked the most about Su Jingyi was that she wasn't a petty and selfish person. She was a reasonable person who would try to see the best in the situation they were in before she made a decision.
Perhaps if he was able to say the words that she'd been waiting to hear for a long time wholeheartedly, she would consider staying with him, but that was quite impossible, right? His heart was already conquered by another woman, even before she met him, not giving her a chance at all.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%E2%80%99t-let-you-go-(2)_52181098330911645">#%E2%80%99t-let-you-go-(2)_52181098330911645</a> for visiting.
How was she supposed to compete with a childhood sweetheart? It didn't matter if Yun Zhen and Tang Moyu had shared very little time together, Yun Zhen had already set his mind on the empress for years.
Not that Su Jingyi wanted to get between the two, but she had already made peace with herself and had accepted the possibility that Yun Zhen would never consider her when there was a beautiful and cool empress around. She wasn't a kind of person who liked competing or comparing herself to others, so she never bothered to make it obvious that she was interested in him.
"It's non negotiable, Yun Zhen. I'm sure about this. There's no point discussing it any further." She gave him a pointed, look not giving him any chance to refute. She couldn't afford to waiver now.
Su Jingyi had to remind herself of the reason she did this. The years she spent staying next to him were enough and she could not continue any longer. Tears might have an insignificant weight for others, but they carry heavy feelings one might have been enduring all this time.
"But…" For the first time since forever, Yun Zhen found himself at a loss for words.
Now that Yun Zhen had already secured his position in the company and had became the successor of the Yun family, Su Jingyi had no other reasons to stay with him any further.
"I already did my part of our deal, Yun Zhen." Su Jingyi reminded him, her eyes met him for a moment, allowing him to see that she was serious about her resignation.
Was it cruel for her to leave him like this? But how was she supposed to know that Tang Moyu would be able to affect Yun Zhen like this after her marriage announcement? Two broken hearts beating for two different reasons.
Years ago, after they graduated from the university, Yun Zhen asked her to become his executive assistant first and she joined the Yun Group with him. Three years later, as Yun Zhen crawled up the ladder of promotion one step after another, Su Jingyi resigned as his executive assistant and secured a post in the finance department, where she was assigned as Yun Zhen's direct subordinate.
"Then who will help me once you are gone?" Yun Zhen couldn't believe that he was hesitating to let her go. He couldn't refute her claim regarding their deal. He had never forced Su Jingyi to do something she didn't like and had been considerate with her needs and requests because of the things she had done for him.
There was no doubt that he would do just fine without her. Yun Zhen was ready to experience whatever that awaited him in the future as the head of Yun Group, it was just that he could never see or imagine Su Jingyi absent from his life.
For those who knew the two, they would know that one could never be without the other. They were a team, inseparable from each other until now. No one thought that President Yun and Director Su would part ways so soon. So what changed?
What everyone didn't know was, even Yun Zhen hadn't anticipated that Su Jingyi would leave him one day. He knew that he couldn't stop her if she really wanted to, but didn't want to admit it out loud.
"Don't worry about that. I already gave Chairman Yun the list of candidates for the next director, I'll make sure they are reliable. I trust that he will be able to make a decision soon. I'll train him or her according to your standards." She reassured him, choosing to lower her head to hide the sadness in her eyes.
Yun Zhen should be pleased with that. At least she was giving him a safety net, reassuring him that the transition of responsibility would be personally done by her. This should reassure him, right? But why did he feel like he was still at a disadvantage? Why did the uneasiness in his heart remain?
"Is there anything else you need?" Su Jingyi arched a slender brow at him. She could tell by the way his brows were drawn together that he wasn't satisfied with this arrangement, but what else could she do?
Until the end, she didn't want to make things hard for him. That was why she agreed with Chairman Yun's suggestion for her to personally orient and teach the next person who would fill her position in the company. She could only hope that whoever it was, he or she would get along well with Yun Zhen and would be able to help him to the best of their ability.
