Chapter 401 There's no need to stay any longer.

Qiao Xing understood. This was Liao's ultimate goal: as long as she could persuade S&C to put the product on the shelves, she could then ask Liao to promote it, gradually escalating the situation.

"I understand." Qiao Xing's expression turned serious. She seemed to have thought of something and then said to Han Yan, "President Han, please don't tell Qin Ce about this."

Han Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. "So, you already knew?"

Qiao Xing sighed, "I understand."

Every time someone asks her this question, she feels like a clown, like a monkey in a zoo, everyone wondering how she will react.

Han Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

"Thank you, I'll be going now."

"I've already added you as a friend, please accept my request."

"good."

Qiao Xing stopped chatting with him, said goodbye, and quickly walked out of S&C. She then hailed a taxi and returned to Weisheng.

Sitting in the car, she felt somewhat annoyed.

When she returned to Weisheng, she was summoned by Manager He from the administration department.

Pushing open the door to Manager He's office, she walked in and asked, "Manager He, what can I do for you?"

"Of course it's a good thing, congratulations Qiao Xing. Here, sign this." Manager He handed her a document.

Qiao Xing took it and glanced at it. It was a salary adjustment statement. Her salary had increased to 20,000, and it was still the base salary.

"What does this mean?" Qiao Xing looked at Manager He in confusion. Why would she suddenly give her such a high salary? Even Bai Yi probably doesn't have such a high base salary.

Not to mention Bai Yi, even Supervisor He doesn't have one. Supervisor He's base salary is only 15,000 yuan, I think.

"Isn't it clearly written above? Your work performance is outstanding, and the company has decided to give you a raise. Aren't you happy?"

Qiao Xing put the salary adjustment form back. "If it's really because I'm outstanding and the company values ​​me and wants to raise my salary, I'll naturally be happy. But is this salary increase really because of my outstanding abilities?"

Manager He's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned. "Of course it's true. Everyone else is eager for a raise, but you're all frowning."

Qiao Xing suddenly said, "Manager He, I want to resign."

Manager He's smile vanished; his brows furrowed, and he asked with displeasure, "Why are you resigning? Are you dissatisfied with your salary?"

"No, I just feel that I might not be able to handle this job. Let's leave this high salary to the truly capable people."

Manager He looked at her with a complicated expression. After a long while, she sighed and took the salary adjustment form back. "I won't force you if you don't accept it, but if you want to resign, you have to go to your department head."

"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

"Go."

Qiao Xing turned and left the administration department. After returning to the planning department, she went to find Bai Yi and explained her thoughts.

Bai Yi looked around and called her into a small room to talk alone.

Have you thought it through?

Qiao Xing nodded: "I've thought it through. I really don't think it's necessary for me to stay in this company any longer."

"No matter how hard I work or how outstanding I become in the future, they will never think of me as an excellent employee. All they will know is that I am Qin Ce's wife."

"If that's the case, then why should I continue working? Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and let Qin Ce support me, living a life of leisure and doing nothing?"

Bai Yi listened quietly to her finish speaking, and couldn't help but laugh. "So many women want their husbands to support them, to stay at home and live a life of leisure, but you don't want that anymore."

Qiao Xing said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but this isn't a long-term solution. First of all, if I just coast along like this for too long, I don't know what I'll become. Besides..."

Qiao Xing paused, her gaze becoming complicated again. "What if things break up between us someday? I'll become even more useless. All that time wasted, I won't have learned anything, and I'll just become a lazy good-for-nothing."

There are many other reasons. She can't feel at ease spending other people's money. Once a person becomes lazy and extravagant, it will be difficult to go back to the previous lifestyle in the future.

Only when you have the ability to earn money can you have the greatest sense of security. When a person places their life and hopes on another person, they are destined to be disappointed.

Bai Yi nodded. "Your concerns are actually valid. People should have their own goals and not devote all their energy and attention to men."

“Especially…” Bai Yi paused, unsure of what to say next.

It's normal for someone to feel fear and worry when they're pushed to a height that doesn't belong to them; if they become arrogant, they'll fall hard.

"So, Team Leader Bai, can I resign?"

"I definitely agree with your resignation, but will President Liao agree?" This is what Bai Yi is worried about.

“He can’t control that much. The company’s contract doesn’t say that people can’t resign. He has to agree whether he likes it or not.”

"Alright." Bai Yi smiled helplessly. "Anyway, I'm going to resign anyway, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have approved it for you. Write your resignation letter and give it to me, and I'll sign it for you."

Qiao Xing nodded vigorously and gratefully grasped Bai Yi's hand, "Thank you, Team Leader Bai."

"You're welcome. Go ahead and think about when you're going to resign."

"Um."

Qiao Xing returned to her workstation and began to work on her resignation letter, ignoring the message from General Manager Liao.

After thinking it over, I think it's best to resign as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, she can just quit on her own, since she hasn't been working much this month anyway.

So she started typing and quickly wrote out her resignation letter.

She took it to Bai Yi for signature, and then handed it to HR.

General Manager Liao must have informed HR beforehand, because HR's expression changed when they saw the resignation letter.

"Let's leave it for now."

Qiao Xing said, "My team leader has already signed it, shouldn't I be able to resign immediately?"

"Sister, it's almost time to get off work now, can you come tomorrow?"

Qiao Xing glanced at the time; there was still half an hour left.

"Alright then, I'll come again tomorrow."

She turned and walked out of the HR department. Before she even left, the HR manager immediately went to find General Manager Liao.

Unsurprisingly, before Qiao Xing could even sit down, President Liao called her to his office.

Qiao Xing now feels a sense of revulsion whenever she hears President Liao's voice. She used to think President Liao was kind, but now she realizes she was overthinking it.

Capitalists are never kind.

"Mr. Liao, is there anything I can help you with? It's almost time to leave work. If it's work-related, you can arrange for someone else to do it. I just submitted my resignation."

"Qiao Xing, why do you want to resign all of a sudden? Is it because you're dissatisfied with the company or with me? It's okay, you can say it. I've said before that I respect my employees' opinions very much."
