Chapter 9 Resignation Letter, Throw it in his face!
Jiang Shiyuan's legs, which had been aching and numb from squatting, trembled.
Even if she didn't turn around at that moment, she could still tell—
Those unhurried, steady, and powerful footsteps belonged to Xie Jinghuai.
After five years of marriage, Xie Jinghuai started sleeping in separate rooms from her after Tongtong was born, saying it was to make it easier for her to take care of their son.
Countless nights, she stood foolishly at the door, listening to the man's footsteps approaching her room, her heart pounding as if it would burst out of her chest.
However, he simply passed by her again and again without pausing for a moment.
Recalling her humble past, Jiang Shiyuan felt like a disfavored concubine, longing for the emperor's favor day and night.
She is a design goddess and a technological genius.
However, in this twisted marital relationship, she became obsessed with sex, and Xie Jinghuai's every move affected her mood at all times.
It wasn't until Lin Zhixin entered the house and they were always seen together that she belatedly realized what was happening.
Taking care of children is just an excuse!
That man simply disliked her intensely and didn't want to touch her.
"Ms. Lin, we are truly honored that you and Mr. Xie have graced our R&D department with your presence!"
The bald executive followed respectfully by her side like a servant, fawning and smiling, "Miss Lin, you are so much prettier than in the photos!"
You and Mr. Xie look so good together, a truly handsome couple!
"Manager Wu, you flatter me. But I would much rather people focus on my work abilities than compliment my appearance."
Lin Zhixin smiled gently, her red lips glistening. "After all, even the most outstanding beauty can't bring profits to the Xie Group. President Xie invited me to the R&D department, which I think is because he values my personal worth. Don't you agree?"
Seeing that his flattery had backfired, Manager Wu quickly changed his tune, "Yes, yes, yes... Miss Lin is both capable and beautiful. You and President Xie can be described as outstanding individuals!"
Other senior executives also showered Lin Zhixin with praise.
Throughout the entire process, Xie Jinghuai remained silent, as if he had not heard a word.
Jiang Shiyuan's long, drooping eyelashes fluttered slightly as she picked up the bucket and prepared to leave.
She didn't want to have any interaction with Xie Jinghuai in a workplace setting.
What's more, that man brought his lover with him today. He, who never visits the R&D department all year round, actually condescended to show up in person to support Lin Zhixin and pave the way for her.
For five years, Xie Jinghuai never publicly acknowledged her identity, so there's no need for her to jump out and declare her ridiculous sovereignty now that they're getting a divorce.
"Hey! Jiang Shiyuan, what are you still doing here? What kind of behavior is this in front of President Xie?!"
Yang Jing stormed up to Jiang Shiyuan and grabbed her still-healing forearm. "You're usually so hardworking, but now you're trying to be charming and put on a persona in front of President Xie."
Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Get out of here! Don't embarrass Mr. Xie and Ms. Lin!
Everyone turned to look.
Xie Jinghuai also looked in the direction of the sound, his indifferent gaze landing on Jiang Shiyuan's slightly haggard face.
His cold, sculpted face was unreadable, except for his stunning phoenix eyes, which suddenly darkened.
Cold, aloof, and obscure.
Lin Zhixin naturally saw Jiang Shiyuan as well. Her eyes narrowed at first, and then she glanced at the man beside her.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, she felt relieved, and her expression revealed contempt and arrogance.
They blatantly disregarded Mrs. Xie in front of them.
When Yang Jing touched Jiang Shiyuan's injured spot, she trembled in pain and dropped the bucket.
Whoosh—!
The entire bucket of sewage was poured out!
"Ah!" Lin Zhixin exclaimed softly and hurriedly backed away.
But it was too late; the dirty water soaked through her expensive lambskin high heels and stained her haute couture white dress.
In the chaos, Lin Zhixin swayed, but the man beside her caught her by his long arm around her waist.
"careful."
Lin Zhixin, still shaken, clutched her chest, gave Xie Jinghuai a gentle smile, and spoke softly:
"I'm fine, thank you... Brother Jinghuai."
Seeing this, Jiang Shiyuan didn't care about the mess and just wanted to disappear from Xie Jinghuai's sight immediately.
But Yang Jing had no intention of letting her go. She stepped in front of her, blocking her path, and glared at her angrily, shouting:
"Jiang Shiyuan, what are you doing?! You think you can just walk away after making such a big mistake?!"
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were cold, and her voice sounded like ice, "If you hadn't pulled me, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Yang Jing was furious. "You still want to shirk responsibility?!"
“I never shirk responsibility, but I will only acknowledge my responsibility.” Jiang Shiyuan showed no fear and did not back down.
Everyone was stunned!
Where did this little girl come from? How dare she be so insolent in front of President Xie? Where does she come from?!
Xie Jinghuai stared at Jiang Shiyuan, who was covered in thorns, a glint of light flashing in his phoenix eyes.
Yang Jing quickly gave her bald husband a meaningful look, "You've dirtied Miss Lin's dress, why don't you apologize to her right now?!"
"Yes, it was your fault to begin with. So many eyes are watching. There's no point in trying to argue your way out of it."
Manager Wu immediately chimed in, "You should apologize to Ms. Lin properly. Ms. Lin is magnanimous and will certainly not make things difficult for you over such a small matter. Otherwise, we would definitely have to deal with an employee as rude as you seriously."
One male and one female, the rooster crows and the pig follows.
However, Jiang Shiyuan remained silent, staring intently at Xie Jinghuai, who had no expression on his face.
Lin Zhixin coughed lightly twice, her expression softening. "Mr. Xie, this young lady didn't do it on purpose. I think... let's just let it go."
"Manager Wu, you just said that you would deal with her seriously if she didn't admit her mistake?"
Xie Jinghuai withdrew his gaze, his voice tinged with nonchalant arrogance, "Tell me your thoughts."
"Dismissal is not the answer, but Ms. Lin will be coming to the R&D department to provide guidance in the future. Employees who behave recklessly and are not in charge of management should not be kept."
Manager Wu gave Jiang Shiyuan a look that said, "You'll see." He said, "I think we should transfer her out of the R&D department and send her back to HR first."
Let her apply for a different position later!
Yang Jing sneered inwardly.
They call it a separate competition, but it's no different from being fired!
Having offended Ms. Lin, the apple of President Xie's eye, which department would dare to hire her?!
"Well, let's do as Manager Wu says then," Xie Jinghuai said casually, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
He had no idea how much effort his wife had put in to stay there.
Just to vent his anger for his beloved, he casually strangled her, a move no less ruthless than taking her life!
Lin Zhixin smiled slightly and turned around with the man.
Just as everyone was about to follow, Jiang Shiyuan's voice, as cold as water striking ice, suddenly rang out:
"No need for that!"
Xie Jinghuai paused, turning back with a cold expression.
Jiang Shiyuan looked stern and took a few steps forward to snatch the notebook and pen from a senior executive of the group.
With swift, flowing strokes, she tore the paper off and strode confidently to Xie Jinghuai.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The couple confronted each other.
The atmosphere was one of unprecedented tension.
Xie Jinghuai glared at her, exuding a powerful aura of oppression. His thin lips barely moved when a sharp "smack" was heard—
Jiang Shiyuan slapped the paper in her hand onto the man's hard chest!
Caught off guard, Xie Jinghuai's tall and imposing figure was pushed back half a step!
"I quit." Jiang Shiyuan raised her fair face, emphasizing each word.
