Yu Yin had no interest in knowing about Lu Shukang and his group's affairs; she was very busy right now.
"Director, I have something to tell you."
"Xiaoyu, sit down. What's the matter? Why are you so serious?"
Director Ding had a high opinion of Yin. She was among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. She was capable, but she lacked ambition and was not very proactive in her work. She only completed her own assigned tasks and did not care much about anything else.
"Director, thank you for your guidance during this time. I may have disappointed you. This is my resignation application."
"What? What application?"
Director Ding was probably too shocked. Whether he didn't hear clearly or didn't react, he looked at Yu Yin with a puzzled expression.
"Director, I wish to resign. This is my application."
Yu Yin repeated her words, looking at the incredulous expression on Director Ding's face.
"Why? Xiaoyu, you need to know how rare it is to have a stable job like this nowadays. You're a college graduate with a bright future ahead of you."
"Director, I know our unit is a good one, with good salary, benefits, and career prospects. However, I have other plans. I can't be in two places at once, and I don't want to do well in both."
Director Ding looked at Yu Yin, wondering what her plans were. However, she knew that Yu Yin, who seemed honest, had her own principles and ideas that wouldn't change easily.
“I don’t know what you’re planning to do, but I know that once you’ve made up your mind, you won’t change it easily. I’ll keep this resignation letter for you. You should apply for a leave of absence without pay. If you have other ideas, leave yourself a way out.”
Although Yu Yin had no intention of turning back, she had to accept the director's favor.
"Thank you, Director. I'll apply for a leave of absence without pay. Thank you."
Director Ding thought about the rumors that had been circulating lately and sighed, "Times have changed. Why do I feel so old?"
Yu Yin completed the formalities discreetly, and it wasn't until she left that the people in the department found out that Yu Yin had applied for a leave of absence without pay.
"Why do you think Xiaoyu is on unpaid leave? Could it be that she's also..."
“Wei Lan, people with heart conditions see everything as dirty. What grudge do you have against Yu Yin that you would smear her like this?”
"Sister Wang, I didn't say anything, it's just that everyone is curious. Yu Yin is a college graduate, and she suddenly took unpaid leave without telling her colleagues, so naturally everyone is curious. Besides, these kinds of things have been happening a lot lately, so it's understandable that I have my own guesses!"
Wei Lan was petty and narrow-minded. Because of her status as a graduate of a worker-peasant-soldier university, she held a grudge against Yu Yin and was always trying to find fault with her. Yu Yin was too lazy to pay attention to her and just enjoyed watching Wei Lan's antics; that feeling of disliking her but being unable to do anything about it was quite pleasant.
"Then let me tell you, Yu Yin owns a big store and does business; she's a wealthy person herself."
Sister Wang and Yu Yin were close, and Sister Wang didn't know that Yu Yin owned a dried goods store. It was a dried goods store that Sister Wang frequented, and she never expected that the owner was Yu Yin. If it weren't for that chance encounter, Sister Wang would never have known. Yu Yin asked her to keep it a secret to avoid being asked about it repeatedly, which would be troublesome.
"You're lying, she doesn't look like a rich person at all."
"That's funny. I'll give you a treat if I lied. How come Yu Yin doesn't seem like a rich person? How many rich people have you met? Rich people have to wear big gold chains around their necks and gold rings on their fingers. That's ridiculous."
Sister Wang had long disliked Wei Lan, being narrow-minded and always trying to get attention from Yu Yin. Yu Yin couldn't be bothered with her, yet she kept trying to get closer.
"Then tell me, where is Yu Yin's shop, and what does she sell?"
Wei Lan refused to give up and pressed on relentlessly, refusing to admit that Yu Yin was better than her.
"Everyone in our district has been to Green Sprouts Dried Goods Store, right?"
"Ah, I know. It mainly sells specialties from Yunnan Province, as well as Inner Mongolia and Northeast China. It has a wide variety of products and good service. I didn't expect it to be owned by Xiao Yu."
"That was one of the earliest individually owned businesses. I remember that the shop opened right after the reform and opening up was announced, and it's been there for several years."
Sister Wang saw that Wei Lan's face was ashen; she was furious. Yu Yin had already left, so it didn't matter to anyone else.
That afternoon, Yu Yin sneezed one after another, not knowing whether someone was thinking of her or someone was cursing her.
"Yinyin, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold? Why are you sneezing so much?"
Aunt Hu brought over a bowl of brown sugar ginger water and told Yu Yin to drink some quickly so she wouldn't catch a cold.
"It's nothing, maybe someone is talking about me."
"That's true. Your colleagues will definitely miss you now that you've left so suddenly."
Aunt Hu has never worked a job and thinks it's really nice to have a job.
Yu Yin drank the brown sugar ginger water; it was a bit spicy, and she didn't really like the taste of ginger.
"Mom, you quit your job?"
When An'an came home from school, she excitedly asked her mother.
"It's not exactly a resignation, just a temporary leave of absence without pay. So, what are your thoughts?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like I can go out and play with my mom in the future. My dad and I both have winter and summer vacations, but my mom works every day, which is a bit of a pity."
No matter how independent An'an becomes, she still depends on her mother a lot. With her mother around, she feels at ease.
"Yes, every time we go out to play, Mom can't come along. But it will be better from now on, our family will always be together."
Kuai Kuai also felt that something was missing without her mother.
Looking at her four children, Yu Yin felt very gratified; she held a very high place in their hearts.
"Mom understands. From now on, when we go out, Mom will do everything she can to overcome all difficulties and follow in your footsteps."
"Very good!"
After chatting and laughing for a while, the children all went upstairs to do their homework.
