“You must understand that it is usually difficult for someone who has been fired to find a new job.”
Qin Zhi’ai could tell that this was an outright threat, but she also knew that Old Master Gu had the capacity to do what he said he would.
If she did not resign, she could forget about ever securing a job in another established company.
Qin Zhi’ai stared at the pen and paper that Xiaowang was holding and, after a moment of silence, she reached out her hand to take them.
Subconsciously, Xiaowang’s grip tightened on the paper, and Qin Zhi’ai failed to tug it out of his hands.
Looking up and giving him a faint smile, she tugged harder and pulled the paper forcefully. She walked to Gu Yusheng’s desk, bent down, and after a brief pause began writing.
Resignation Letter
Dear Executive Leader,
I am immensely grateful for your guidance, as well as the opportunity to work in the company for the past few months. However, I am writing to inform you that I will be resigning from my current position for personal reasons...
...
Qin Zhi’ai quickly wrote out close to 500 words before finally stopping.
She proofed her letter to confirm it had no errors and then glanced down at the empty space in the bottom right-hand corner.
She only needed to write the words “Qin Zhi’ai” and the letter would be complete. She gripped the pen for a full half minute before lifting it and moving it toward the empty space.
Just as the tip of her pen grazed the paper, before she could even write out the first stroke in the word “Qin,” an abrupt force flung the office door open.
Having succeeded in her motives, Liang Doukou was beside herself with glee and had already joyfully whipped out her phone to scroll through her social media. When the door violently opened, her lips were still curled into a smile.
Xiaowang was the first to look toward the door upon hearing it burst open. When he saw Gu Yusheng, his eyes brightened. “Master Gu!”
Ignoring Xiaowang, Gu Yusheng closed the door behind him and scanned the room. Upon seeing spilled coffee and tea and broken porcelain all over the table and floor, his brows furrowed. He then looked toward Qin Zhi’ai huddled over his desk.
“Yusheng, you’ve returned?” Old Master Gu asked.
Liang Doukou looked up from her phone, stunned for a moment, and then called out, “Yu Sheng!”
Gu Yusheng’s frown deepened and he ignored her. He greeted his grandfather and then questioned Xiaowang, “What’s going on?”
Not waiting for Xiaowang’s reply, he walked to Qin Zhi’ai at his desk.
“Secretary Qin accidentally...” Xiaowang began but, thinking better of speaking with Old Master Gu and Miss Liang in the room, he immediately stopped speaking.
With his back toward Xiaowang, Gu Yusheng continued to frown but did not press him. Standing behind Qin Zhi’ai, he ripped the paper away from her.
As he brushed past her, Qin Zhi’ai clearly detected the strong scent of alcohol and cigarettes.
She knit her brows together and raised her head to look at him.
