His cold, sharp eyes flashed, and he picked up the resignation letter, tearing it to shreds without hesitation.
Yan Zhi seemed to have anticipated Leng Linli's actions. She smiled faintly, took out another resignation letter, and gently placed it in front of Leng Linli, her tone extremely calm.
"Mr. Leng, I printed many copies. If you get tired of tearing them up, please remember to sign them."
Leng Linli felt a stifling sensation, like punching cotton. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the submissive woman in front of him was acting or genuinely indifferent.
Leng Linli paused, gradually calming down, concealing the excess emotions in his eyes. He lazily loosened his tie, interlaced his fingers, leaned back, and raised the corners of his eyes slightly, looking down at everything.
That face was both domineering and ascetic.
Undoubtedly, his cold and stern appearance still attracted Yan Zhi.
At that moment, Yan Zhi couldn't help but curse herself: Yan Zhi, Yan Zhi, even now, you are truly unrepentant!
When gentle persuasion failed, Leng Linli decided to teach her a lesson. He composed himself, ignoring everything around him, and displayed the decisiveness that made him a force to be reckoned with in the workplace:
“I have rejected your resignation application. You may not know this, but when you joined the company, you signed a 5-year contract, a non-compete agreement, and a top confidentiality agreement with Leng’s. If you are determined to leave, you will have to pay Leng’s 5 million yuan in breach of contract damages, face lawsuits, and be blacklisted in the industry.”
Leng Linli paused for a moment, then looked down at Yan Zhi with disdain: "Do you think you can win against me in court? Are you still going to insist on resigning?"
I never imagined it would come to this.
Yan Zhi lowered her eyes slightly, listening quietly, a faint smile on her lips.
Seeing that Yan Zhi didn't refute, Leng Linli assumed she was about to give in. He confidently raised the corners of his lips and pressed his advantage: "I can give you time to think about it now. Either you continue to work obediently at Leng's and stay by my side, or you can wait to receive a court summons."
Leng Linli's unspoken message was: If you don't obey, I'll crush you as easily as crushing an ant.
He stood up, looking down at Yan Zhi with a cold and stern expression, exuding an innate sense of superiority.
Look at his arrogant and haughty demeanor; that's the difference between them, and that's why he doesn't believe she'll marry him.
Yan Zhi looked at Leng Linli, smiled, and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips:
"I'm 26 years old, not 6 or 16, Mr. Leng. I'm not ignorant of the law, and I don't have seriously ill parents who need money or disappointing siblings who need my help to get business from you. I'm sorry, you may be disappointed. I submitted a resignation letter, not a resignation application. According to procedure, I can leave normally in a month. As for what you said about being blacklisted in the industry, I can change cities, change jobs, or even go abroad."
Leng Linli hadn't expected Yan Zhi to be so difficult to fool. He narrowed his eyes, curled his lips into a cold smile, and uttered a chilling question: "Are you really going to resign, or is this just another of your manipulative tactics?"
Yan Zhi looked at the man she had once loved, and even now, he had never believed her.
Yan Zhi had no choice but to laugh. She no longer wanted to bother trying to change his mind; he wouldn't believe anything she said anyway.
Yan Zhi simply looked at Leng Linli calmly, a faint smile on her lips: "If that's how you think, Mr. Leng, what can I do?"
Leng Linli snorted coldly: "Do you think I should think that way? Lying is your specialty."
Yan Zhi stopped arguing and accepted whatever he said. She nodded calmly, "Hmm... President Leng is right. I'm tired now and don't want to play along with your act anymore. Can you approve my resignation now?"
Leng Linli felt her blood pressure rise instantly. Look, she doesn't even want to pretend anymore!
As if he had thought of something, Leng Linli's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Or is it that you prefer to act with me in bed? That's why you're quitting your job at Leng Corporation and going home to continue acting?"
Yan Zhi looked at Leng Linli indifferently, as if she didn't care, and smiled casually: "What President Leng sees is me, whether good or bad, I will not refute it."
If we're not on the same wavelength, there's no need to try to persuade each other.
She didn't need to say anything.
That saved him the trouble.
"Yan Zhi!" Leng Lin's sharp eyes suddenly turned cold, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his handsome features.
Yan Zhi was always accommodating, her eyes full of gentle warmth: "Hmm... Mr. Leng, please speak."
Leng Linli clenched his fists, staring intently at Yan Zhi, trying to see if she was being stubborn, but after a long while, she still maintained that nonchalant demeanor.
He loathed Yan Zhi for putting on that nonchalant and gentle demeanor towards him!
It was as if he was insignificant, unworthy of her attention, and dispensable in her eyes, and she didn't even want to say a word to him.
Whenever Leng Linli saw Yan Zhi like this, he felt an urge to pin her down and punish her severely.
Leng Linli chuckled self-deprecatingly. It was laughable... Only in bed would Yan Zhi soften up a little, even if only for a moment.
Only in her eyes... could he exist.
Leng Linli walked step by step toward Yan Zhi, his whole body exuding a dangerous aura.
Yan Zhi saw the reddening in Leng Linli's eyes and took a slight step back, but Leng Linli gave her no room to back down. His strong arms reached out to her waist, pulled her into his arms, and pressed her down hard in a fit of rage, then lowered his head and kissed her.
Yan Zhi shrank back, her brows furrowed.
She knew Leng Linli might go crazy, but she never expected him to suddenly go crazy.
His cold, sharp lips and teeth tore at her skin, his fingers ravaged her waist, and he roughly ripped at her clothes.
Yan Zhi could clearly sense his anger.
Yan Zhi closed her eyes briefly and grinned: "Leng Linli, you will only ever use force to make me submit."
Yan Zhi's voice was somewhat cold. Although she was smiling, Leng Linli felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.
Leng Linli abruptly stopped, staring at Yan Zhi with a hint of astonishment.
She almost never called him by his first name.
Yan Zhi's expression was excessively calm, yet he had just lost control again.
Leng Linli paused for a moment, then released her, his gaze complex: "If you resigned because of yesterday's incident, I can apologize, I'm sorry..."
Perhaps he simply said what he hadn't said yesterday, so saying "I'm sorry" wasn't difficult for him at all; he even felt a sense of relief.
Yan Zhi was stunned. She really hadn't expected Leng Linli to apologize to her. She was a little taken aback and felt a little...sad.
"I accept your belated apology, but Mr. Leng, people need to have the ability to move on and not dwell on the past." That's what she said, but Yan Zhi couldn't get over the sudden loss of her feelings.
Yan Zhi smiled faintly, her eyes welling up with tears, her voice slightly hoarse: "I've left my resignation letter here. You can tell HR to hire another secretary. I will hand over my work within this month, and I will leave the company after this month."
