Did you even send the proposal to the client? You even took a screenshot and tagged the client after sending the email! Your boss is also in the group chat! Why couldn't you just open the work group chat and take a look at all the messages you've sent me?!

I'm so tired. When will the world end? If all else fails, I'll just let my boss explode on the spot!

"Brother, did you buy this braised food from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant? Where is the store located? How much does it cost? My roommates want to try it too." Accompanied by the 'pat-pat' sound of slippers hitting the ground, Liu Xiaoyan appeared at the door of Liu Zhaowen's bedroom, holding a duck foot in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

“Yes.” Liu Zhaowen turned off his phone screen and turned to look at his cousin. “It’s on the south side of Zijing Road. Get off at the Zijing Road bus stop and walk about 300 meters. The price for vegetables is a flat 5 yuan per jin, and the price for meat is 18 yuan per jin for cheaper ones and 30 or 40 yuan per jin for more expensive ones.”

"So cheap!" Liu Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Brother, are you sure you didn't misremember the price? Five yuan a pound? Five yuan a pound!"

“That’s the price.” Liu Zhaowen added, thinking of the braised food shop Xu An mentioned that was about to open. “You can also wait until tomorrow. Xu’s Braised Food Shop opens tomorrow. The shop is located near the Yinxing Office Building, which is closer to your school. It’s also accessible by bus.”

"That's awesome!" The hand holding the duck's foot struggled to give Liu Zhaowen a thumbs up. "Tomorrow, right? Are there any opening specials? Bro, you have a fridge at home, I'll buy a lot to keep and eat slowly, hehe!"

Speaking of refrigerators, Liu Xiaoyan's face showed regret, and she said in a slightly downcast tone, "But it takes almost half an hour by bus, and by the time I get back to the dorm after buying from the store, the food isn't as cold and doesn't taste as good. If this store were located near the school, the braised dishes would taste much better than those near my school, and they would be much cheaper. They would definitely be very popular."

Ring ring—ring ring—

Before Liu Zhaowen could reply, the phone he was holding rang again. The caller ID showed it was his boss.

"Hey, boss," Liu Zhaowen had barely uttered two words when the person on the other end of the phone launched into a continuous, rambling monologue.

Liu Xiaoyan didn't know who the person on the other end was, nor could she hear what the person was saying, but she clearly saw a hint of anger appear on her cousin's face, and this anger grew stronger as time went on.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to flee!

The boss on the other end of the phone was still rambling on, and Liu Zhaowen's temples were throbbing with rage. How could someone like that be a leader? It was an insult to the very word. Just as Liu Zhaowen felt his head buzzing, Liu Xiaoyan's words suddenly flashed into his mind.

My roommates all love this braised food; it's better than the three braised food shops near school, we'll definitely buy it all!

In a primary school Chinese class where the topic was "My Dream," the words I uttered in my childish voice came back to mind.

I want to open a small shop where I can sell whatever I like to eat.

Liu Zhaowen's gaze fell on the duck foot he was tightly clutching in his left hand. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "What I like to eat now is—braised food."

"Zhaowen, Liu Zhaowen!"

The repeated calls on the other end of the phone pulled Liu Zhaowen from his reverie. He quickly responded with two "eh"s to indicate he was listening. The person on the other end sighed and said in a tone of disappointment, "Zhaowen, to be honest, I'm not satisfied with you. You're not as perceptive as Xiaoming in dealing with people, and your work ability isn't as outstanding as Xiaohong's. Also, Xiaoqiang is very studious; he's been learning your job responsibilities recently, and I'm extremely satisfied with him, you know that?"

Here we go again! This boss must think he's an idiot, being so satisfied with Xiaoqiang. Don't think he doesn't know Xiaoqiang's academic situation. He's just like those college students trying to pass the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4), stuck at the very first word on the first page of his vocabulary handbook. Satisfied with that level? What a load of rubbish!

The boss on the other end of the phone was still rambling on. Liu Zhaowen pressed his temples with his phone, then coughed twice, interrupting his boss, "The boss is right, I do have many shortcomings. So I've decided to resign and focus on learning new technologies and skills!"

There was a full five seconds of silence before the voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Quitting your job is unnecessary. Wouldn't it be better for you to work, earn money, and study at the same time? Besides..."

As he listened to the long-winded monologue about to begin, the veins on Liu Zhaowen's temples throbbed violently. The nausea from his hangover began to rise, fueling his anger. Suddenly, he raised his voice and yelled at his boss on the other end of the phone, "Are you fucking deaf? I quit! I'm resigning! Do you understand what resigning means? If not, go back and look it up in the dictionary! Do you even have a Xinhua Dictionary? If not, I'll send you one tomorrow!"

This roar released all the anger he had accumulated since joining the company. After shouting, before the other party could react, Liu Zhaowen pressed the hang-up button and then blacklisted his boss's phone number.

Looking at his boss's name on the blacklist, Liu Zhaowen suddenly felt incredibly relieved, as refreshing as drinking iced bayberry juice on a sweltering summer day.

Seriously, that was awesome!

Then came another wave of regret. Since things had already gone downhill, he should have cursed more and given it his all. Now there was no turning back. He could either find another company to gain experience or open a braised food shop. The area near his cousin's school would be a very good option.
