47. The Ending

Yuan Yubing parked the car downstairs at the Golden Bay Hotel. She turned her head, looking at the hotel's magnificent exterior: "Jiajia, are you really going?"

Mu Jia sighed: "We're all adults now, there are some things we just have to do, aren't we, sis?"

In the past few days, senior executives from their company's human resources department visited Pinghai, a key city in China.

Eric Huang, the head of the human resources department, has been staying at this hotel for the past few days.

Two days ago, he had already sent an intermediary to give Mu Jia a hint.

The underlying message was clear: if you want to end your overseas assignment and return home, seize the opportunity in the next few days and come to the hotel to see him.

Yuan Yubing watched Mu Jia walk into the hotel, her expression somewhat complicated.

Half an hour later, Mu Jia came out of the hotel and got directly into Yuan Yubing's car.

Yuan Yubing handed her a hot matcha latte.

The girl had her head down, her hands holding the heat source, and her hands were trembling slightly.

After a long silence in the car, Yuan Yubing finally spoke, her tone unusually hesitant and worried: "How are you feeling?"

After a few more seconds of silence, Mu Jia suddenly raised her head.

"Cool!"

The next second, the two burst into laughter.

After laughing for an unknown amount of time, Mu Jia suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yuan Yubing, her eyes sparkling: "Sister, I feel like I've grown into the kind of adult I used to hope for."

“Yes,” Yuan Yubing laughed, “a man who dares to throw red wine in his boss’s face in front of a whole table of people!”

"Although my hands are still shaking a little from excitement, it feels really great!"

"And then there are unemployed adults."

Mu Jia finally paused for a moment, "Sister, you have such a beautiful mouth, how could you have poisoned it?"

Yuan Yubing didn't speak, but just looked at her mischievously.

Taking advantage of the situation, she shamelessly tried to gain sympathy by acting cute: "Sister, I just lost my job, will you support me?"

"Get lost. I have a son to raise myself." Yuan Yubing refused without any mercy. "If you want to live off others, let your mother support you. Or find a man to support you."

"Sis, you know," Mu Jia looked at her pitifully yet seriously, "I don't have a man. And my mom, my mom went on a world tour too."

After a few seconds of staring at each other, Yuan Yubing suddenly burst out laughing: "Alright! As long as I have something to eat, you won't starve!"

"No need," Mu Jia smiled smugly, seeing that she had fallen for the trick, and finally revealed her true colors, "I already have a new offer!"

"What?" This time, it was Yuan Yubing's turn to be surprised.

"My old profession, new company. It's not as big as my old employer, but it's still pretty much a unicorn." She smiled. "It's still in the gaming industry. They offered me the position of Operations Director, based in Pinghai. I'll start in a month."

Yuan Yubing's eyes widened, and she remained silent for a full half minute before finally opening her mouth: "Mu Jia, you seem to have really grown up."

And so, Mu Jia's vacation was successfully extended for another month.

A few weeks later, I suddenly received a call from Ye Xiaoxin.

Mu Jia thought it was just a normal greeting and to maintain a good relationship, but to her surprise, as soon as she answered the phone, she heard the girl on the other end exclaim excitedly, "Sister Jiajia, have you heard? Huang Chuansheng has been fired!"

"What?" Mu Jia was taken aback; she had indeed never heard of it.

Mu Jia was a little helpless. The story of her throwing wine at Huang Chuansheng in front of him at the dinner table that day had already spread far and wide. As a result, her reputation became much greater after she left the company than when she was still there. As the saying goes, even though she is no longer in the business world, her legend still exists.

"Besides me, is that right..."

Because Huang Chuansheng was always very careful, he usually used hints and pressure, or intermediaries to relay messages, so he never left any direct evidence. However, it is said that Jiang Li had direct evidence of his workplace sexual harassment, and at the time, Ms. Lily was even planning to report him to the company's disciplinary department.

Unfortunately, you can't fight city hall; in the end, that bastard suppressed me and forced me to resign.

"And then what happened?"

"Later, Jiang Li joined a new company and was sent to the United States."

"America?" Mu Jia suddenly paused.

Ye Xiaoxin didn't notice her pause and suddenly changed the subject, "But the turning point came just like that! Originally, several years had passed and everyone had almost forgotten about this matter, but a few weeks ago, Jiang Li suddenly took leave and returned to China, and sent a lawyer's letter directly to the company."

I heard it's because she hired a very capable lawyer who crafted a flawless chain of evidence and a perfect complaint, so in court they completely crushed Huang Chuansheng's side.

"..."

"Jiajia? Are you still listening?"

"Yes, I'm listening."

"Tell me, who is so capable? They easily uprooted this huge cancer, Huang Chuansheng..."

Mu Jia didn't speak, quietly listening to Ye Xiaoxin's passionate expression of admiration and emotion on the other end of the line, and then continued to tell her some gossip about her former company.

After listening for a while, she couldn't help but silently curl her lips into a smile, cursing inwardly, "What a madwoman."

"Are you crazy?" Han Liping said this when he saw the resignation letter Chu Chiyi handed him.

The young man opposite me just smiled and said, "Thank you for your care and guidance over the years, but I have already thought it through."

"Chi Yi, do you even know what you're giving up?"

"I know, but I have things I absolutely have to do right now."

Even the usually composed senior lawyer showed surprise: "What's going on?"

“There are many. The first thing is to go see a client, persuade her, and then help her fight a lawsuit.”

Things were progressing even more smoothly than Chu Chiyi had imagined.

In just over two weeks, everything was settled.

After handing over the final legal documents to Jiang Li in New York, Chu Chiyi declined her kind invitation to stay and have a few more days.

Take the next available flight back to Pinghai.

He tilted his head slightly and looked out the porthole. The sky in the Eastern Hemisphere had already brightened again sometime during that time.

A month later, with her vacation days running out again, Mu Jia felt that she was still not in good condition, so she discussed with her boss whether she could postpone her return to work for another month.

The boss surprisingly agreed quite readily.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yubing couldn't help but seriously analyze the situation with her: "I heard that your new boss is also unmarried. Do you think he might have taken a liking to you?"

Mu Jia stopped her, saying, "Sister, you can't be obsessed with sex."

In fact, rather than guessing that they were interested in her as a person, it's more likely that they were interested in the years of hard work and experience she gained at sea under her former company.

"Tch, so according to you, we should thank that scoundrel who's been keeping you from returning to China?"

"It's not that I'm thanking the thugs, it's that I'm thanking the experience, sister."

Another month later, Mu Jia officially joined her new employer.

The new company is backed by a large private equity fund and has no shortage of money. Its office is magnificent and impressive, and you can see the coastline from the office.

The key point is that it's not far from home.

In the blink of an eye, almost half a year has passed, and she has finally gotten back into work mode.

Escaping is not shameful, and it can be useful.

Moreover, often, only by escaping can one truly become willing to face the issue.

Mu Jia tilted her head back and swallowed two paroxetine tablets with warm water.

Then, she took a breath, stretched, and, full of confidence, prepared to officially begin her first day of work.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door from the outside.

"Come in."

A young girl walked in; she was the assistant her new boss had assigned to her.

"Mr. Mu, you've just joined the company, and the director of the legal department would like to invite you over to formally review your employment contract."

"Okay." Mu Jia nodded, put down her black coffee, stood up, and suddenly remembered that when she met with the senior executives of various departments this morning, she didn't seem to have met the head of the legal department.

So he casually asked the assistant across from him, "Excuse me, General Counsel, where is the office? Is it a man's or a woman's office?"

The girl smiled: "Mr. Mu, don't worry, he just arrived a little over a month earlier than you. His office is upstairs."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something, winked at Mu Jia, and added excitedly, "And he's a really handsome guy too."

"Oh." Mu Jia looked at the excited expression on the young girl's face, but remained calm.

She nodded, realizing she was probably past the age of getting excited about hearing her colleague was handsome, and continued to ask for more useful information: "What's his surname?"

This time, before the assistant could even speak, they suddenly heard another knock on the glass door behind them.
