Chapter 402 Let me have one for fun
Qiao Xing listened to his rambling on and on, but remained unmoved. If it were just an ordinary employee resigning, he probably wouldn't even glance at it.
Therefore, Qiao Xing was not moved by his sincerity and said directly, "President Liao, it's my own fault and has nothing to do with the company."
"Then, what is the reason?"
Qiao Xing didn't want to argue with him, but suddenly a thought struck her. "Oh, it's because Qin Ce won't let me go to work anymore. He said that the few measly jobs I earn are hard to come by, and I'd rather stay home and be a good wife and mother."
"Ah..." General Manager Liao was also stunned. "Is that so?"
"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to resign. I went to their company today and talked to him about the game. He wasn't too happy about it. You should know him. He likes to keep his personal and professional life separate, so he told me to resign."
"This..." President Liao was speechless for a moment.
The key point of Qiao Xing's words was the distinction between public and private matters. After she said that, President Liao began to consider whether Qiao Xing's identity could bring benefits to the company.
If they can't even handle one game now, they probably won't be able to make much of a difference in other projects either.
Seeing his hesitation, Qiao Xing pressed on, "President Liao, I'm actually in a difficult position too. The company treats me so well, and I want to contribute to the company, but unfortunately, Qin Ce is too inflexible, and I can't do anything about him."
The subtext is, I can't possibly cause trouble with Qin Ce for the sake of the company, can I?
Mr. Liao seemed to have come to his senses. He sighed and said, "Alright then, since it's Mr. Qin's idea, I won't force you to stay. What he said makes sense. Women should just stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. Making money is a man's job."
Qiao Xing found his change in attitude somewhat amusing; his mood shifted too quickly.
"Okay, Mr. Liao, I'm really sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. It's all about fate between people. You can come back when you want to go back to work."
Qiao Xing exchanged a few more polite words with him, and the two eventually ended the call amicably. He agreed to Qiao Xing's resignation, so he could just come in the next morning to process his resignation and collect his salary.
Just as Bai Yi was leaving get off work, he passed by her workstation and saw her beaming, so he stopped and asked, "Did President Liao let you go?"
Qiao Xing nodded, "Yes, I won't be coming tomorrow."
"It's okay, I'll be here by the end of this month at the latest."
As the two were talking, Zhao Yan suddenly leaned over and asked, "Team leader, what are you two talking about, Qiao Xing?"
Qiao Xing glanced at her and said, "I've resigned. I won't be coming tomorrow. You've been learning very quickly lately, keep up the good work."
Zhao Yan was somewhat surprised, "So sudden?"
"Not really, I had this plan before."
"Oh, so I won't see you again?"
"How could that be? If you want to see me, you can send me a WeChat message. Even though we're not colleagues anymore, we can still be friends."
Zhao Yan thought about it and agreed. She was instantly happy again. "That's great! I'll come find you to play during the holidays."
"Okay, it's time to go home."
The three of them left work together, and Zhao Yan ran ahead to catch the bus.
Qiao Xing looked around. Qin Ce hadn't come today. She suddenly took out her phone and glanced at it. She had been on the phone with President Liao and had forgotten to check WeChat. Sure enough, Qin Ce had sent her a message.
He said he had an urgent meeting and asked her to wait for half an hour.
Bai Yi also noticed that Qin Ce hadn't arrived. "Qiao Xing, are you going to wait here?"
"No, I'll take a bus back myself."
"Let's do it together then. You quit your job, so I'll treat you to barbecue to celebrate."
Qiao Xing smiled. She was celebrating her resignation, but since she really didn't have anything else to do, she agreed.
Bai Yi hailed a taxi, and the two of them went to the university town together.
Qiao Xing replied to Qin Ce in the car, while Bai Yi next to her asked, "You resigned, what are your plans?"
"Not yet, let's talk about it later. Are you planning to go see Xiao Lin?"
"Yes, I was thinking of asking if you wanted to come along, but I figured Qin Ce would never let you work in the service industry, so I didn't mention it."
After replying to the message, Qiao Xing put his phone away. "Actually, I don't really want to go either. After all, I'm not familiar with this kind of thing. I can't even figure out my own face properly. This industry isn't something I'm interested in."
Bai Yi smiled and said, "That's right, doing what you like is the most important thing."
Qiao Xing wholeheartedly agreed. She still wanted to write code, even though she had never actually worked as a programmer despite studying this major.
The two arrived at Wang Ye's barbecue stall. He hadn't opened for business yet and was still setting up the stall with Linlin. Seeing Linlin's serious expression as she worked, Qiao Xing felt very happy.
Bai Yi seemed to sense her interest and suggested, "Why don't you just have one yourself? You're about the right age to have one; you'll suffer if you wait any longer."
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, "Let's talk about it later."
She never mentioned it, and Qin Ce himself didn't seem to want to have children.
Bai Yi stopped trying to persuade her and went to help Wang Ye. Qiao Xing felt embarrassed sitting there, so she also went to help.
Wang Ye is very busy both day and night now, and doesn't chat with her much anymore.
Even when Qiao Xing told him about resigning, he only congratulated her and suggested that she sell barbecue with him.
Qin Ce knew that Qiao Xing had gone to Wang Ye's place, so the meeting wasn't in such a rush.
It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that he drove to pick up Qiao Xing.
The first thing he said after getting on the bus was to Qiao Xing, "I heard you resigned?"
How did you know?
Qin Ce turned the car around and casually said, "President Liao just called me. Tell him that I'm not letting you go to work and that you should go home and be a good wife and mother."
Qiao Xing's face flushed again, and she whispered, "I made it up. He kept trying to persuade me to stay, and he wouldn't let me go unless I said it like that."
"Do you really want to stay at home and be a virtuous wife and loving mother?"
"I don't want to, but I still have to go to work."
"Get your driver's license first before you go."
Qiao Xing gave him a strange look. "Why are you so obsessed with your driver's license?"
"Your car is practically moldy."
Qiao Xing remembered this again; she had forgotten that she still had a car. "Okay, okay, I'll go take my driving test tomorrow."
"Um."
Qin Ce didn't care whether she went to work or resigned; as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
But he has to get his driver's license, otherwise he feels like the gift he went to so much trouble to give him has been wasted.
Upon returning home, the first thing Qiao Xing did was to turn off the alarm clock, since she didn't have to go to work and didn't need to get up so early.
But thinking about it carefully, I haven't felt this sense of relief since I started university, graduated, and started working.
Even when I took leave before, I was always on edge, and I would subconsciously think about work.
Now it's great, I don't have to think about anything anymore.
