Chapter 37 Resignation
Xu Jiaman snuggled in Gu Moyang's arms, watching him eat the fruit she fed him with her own hands and smiling happily and sweetly.
"Mo Yang, is it delicious?"
Gu Moyang nodded and smiled: "It's delicious, I like it very much."
Xu Jiaman: "Then I will feed you every day."
Gu Moyang: "Okay."
"The patient has lost too much blood and needs immediate treatment. Please let him go."
In the hospital, Li Xiaolan was lying on the bed covered in blood. The bright red blood had dyed the white sheets beneath her red.
"Mom, wake up, don't go!" Jiang Jibai cried loudly.
"The patient's life-saving efforts were in vain. Please accept our condolences to the family."
"Jiang Jibai, you are not worthy. No one in this world loves you."
"Huh!" Jiang Jibai woke up from his dream.
Another night was filled with nightmares. During this period, no matter how tired she was when she fell asleep, she would still be plagued by nightmares.
Increasing the dose of sleeping pills doesn't help.
The shadows of Gu Moyang and her mother kept appearing in her dreams.
Jiang Ji's white pajamas were soaked with cold sweat and stuck to his body. As soon as the air touched them, a chill ran down his spine.
Her hands began to shake unconsciously and uncontrollably.
The symptoms are the same as they were a few years ago.
Her illness relapsed.
In the dark and silent room, Jiang Jibai hugged his knees tightly, buried his face in them, and let the tears slide down.
—
In the second half of the night, Jiang Jibai did not close her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, those fragments would invade her brain like a virus.
It wasn't until a ray of white light came through the gap in the curtains that she realized it was already dawn.
Jiang Jibai stared at the ceiling and sighed deeply.
She needs to go to the company today to complete the resignation procedures.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Jibai thought of the word "withered".
Another depressing day.
If she went to the company with a face like this, people would probably think she had crawled out of the underworld, so she put on some makeup to make herself look normal.
When she arrived at the company, Zhang Wanwan greeted her warmly.
"Good morning, Sister Jiang!"
Seeing Zhang Wanwan's youthful smile, Jiang Jibai suddenly felt reluctant to leave her. He probably wouldn't be able to see her tomorrow.
If she left here, the person she would be most reluctant to leave would probably be Zhang Wanwan. She wondered if all girls with reduplications in their names were so cute, like Lin Shanshan.
Of course Zheng Qianqian doesn’t count.
Jiang Jibai walked to his workstation, put down his bag, and prepared to go find Zheng Qianqian to discuss his resignation.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, Zheng Qianqian came out of the office and looked at her with the kind of lustful eyes that a dog looks at a meat bun with.
"Xiao Jiang, you're pretty good. I was worried about you, but I didn't expect you to pass the Heguang Group project on your first try."
Jiang Jibai opened his lips in disbelief, and after a long while he managed to utter a few words, "You...what did you say?"
"Oh, have you lost your mind from drawing? This morning, Mr. Shi told me that the client is very satisfied with your design and will let you continue with the existing design."
Jiang Jibai was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Zheng Qianqian patted her shoulder happily and said, "Do your best. We are counting on you!"
After patting him, he muttered, "Remember to eat more when you get home. Your shoulder is hurting me."
Jiang Jibai sat down without blinking, and she completely ignored what Zheng Qianqian said in the second half of the sentence.
What is going on?
Why did Gu Moyang suddenly change his mind?
Then the phone on her desk rang.
Jiang Jibai took the phone and a message popped up.
Party A who pays: [Let's follow the plan we discussed yesterday.]
Jiang Jibai loosened her fingertips, and the phone hit the table with a light "click", but the sound was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
A burning, sweet-smelling fire suddenly rushed up from her chest, burning her throat.
The corners of her mouth twitched sarcastically.
She stayed up all night and completed the project on time even though her hand was injured.
How could his words yesterday erase the countless days and nights of hard work she had put in by working at her desk and racking her brains like an eraser?
And now? He was like a condescending almsgiver, casually waving his finger, waiting for her to crawl back to work for him like a dog wagging its tail for mercy?
What did he think of her? A toy to be summoned and dismissed at will? A monkey to be toyed with at will?
A loud slap in the face, and then carelessly throwing a poisonous sugar-coated date to her... Did he think that she should be grateful for this?
Is she some kind of mean person?
With just one word, he could deprive her of everything and even crush her dignity.
Why should she continue to cling to him and accept his ridiculous pity?
Jiang Jibai's fingers tightly gripped the armrests of the chair, his knuckles twisted and whitened from excessive force, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and he was trembling slightly - that was the result of his efforts to suppress the violent urge to overturn everything.
Regardless of whether the plan is approved or not, she is determined to resign from this position.
—
"What? You want to quit?" Zheng Qianqian almost jumped up from her chair.
"Yes, I want to resign. I quit." Jiang Jibai repeated these words word by word. Even though she repeated them many times, she still felt good when she said them.
Zheng Qianqian still couldn't believe it. "Xiao Jiang, you're so stupid! You've already passed the most difficult first draft. All that's left is to refine and implement the plan. This is a piece of cake for you. The three hundred thousand is already waving at you."
It was a lot of money, but she didn't want it anymore.
Not at all.
Her dignity and life are more important than money. She is aware of her physical condition and she can no longer do this project that causes her double mental and physical torture.
And she was forced to take on this project from the beginning.
No matter how Zheng Qianqian persuaded him, Jiang Jibai had the same attitude.
She was determined to resign.
"You have to think it over carefully." Zheng Qianqian looked displeased, and her tone was warning, as if she was giving her an ultimatum.
Jiang Jibai's attitude did not waver at all: "I have made it very clear."
Zheng Qianqian put away the kind face she usually showed to him, and her face became ferocious. Jiang Jibai could even see the flesh on her face shaking.
"You don't have to do it, but then you won't get a penny from the project!"
Jiang Jibai snorted disdainfully, "I didn't intend to get it in the first place, but if I can't get it, you won't get a penny either."
"Don't think I don't know why you guys forced me to take on this project. Do you think He Guang will change to another company once I leave?"
At this point, she could see that Gu Moyang did it on purpose.
She, Jiang Jibai, was just a grasshopper played with in his palm, a tool for these people to exploit and make money.
Jiang Jibai stared into Zheng Qianqian's eyes and sneered. She said word by word, "Don't worry, you won't get a penny."
Zheng Qianqian's face turned ashen in an instant.
Since he was leaving soon, Jiang Jibai had nothing to worry about.
"I hope this rotten company goes bankrupt soon. As for you, Sister Qian, I have a piece of advice for you."
"You look uglier with makeup on than without it. And the color of this lipstick doesn't suit you. It makes you look darker than a coal miner. I don't know how Zheng Yuan could bear to do that."
After saying that, Jiang Jibai didn't care about the expression on Zheng Qianqian's face, opened the door and left the office that she thought was dirty.
