Chapter 10 The Mysterious Man Who Came to Pick Her Up
The paper landed lightly on the man's shiny leather shoes.
Only six large characters, written in a vigorous and elegant style—
resignation letter
Jiang Shiyuan!
Everyone gasped!
This girl is incredibly brave to challenge "King Yama" in public!
Xie Jinghuai's temple throbbed with a vein.
"Thanks to Miss Lin, I, a lowly employee, have actually received the attention of so many senior leaders in the group. It's not like I've wasted my time working at Xie's."
Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes were red and coldly stunning. Looking at the man's obviously astonished eyes, she smiled beautifully, "Farewell, and may we never meet again!"
After saying that, she turned and left, her silhouette standing out like a tree in the forest.
He didn't even look back.
"This Jiang Shiyuan is simply too outrageous! I don't know whose back door he got him into, but he's acting like a bully!"
Yang Jing was furious, gritting her teeth, "President Xie, she's really gone too far! I must punish her severely! Even if she resigns, I will make sure she leaves Xie's Group and no other company will dare to hire her!"
"A dog relying on its master's power?"
Xie Jinghuai turned his dark eyes inch by inch, his body radiating a chilling aura. "Director Yang is making a scene here, disregarding the company's regulations and arbitrarily disposing of employees. Whose power are you relying on?"
Yang Jing felt a chill run down her spine.
Why does it seem like President Xie is displeased? What did she say wrong?
"Mr. Xie, Director Yang was just in a hurry and was thinking of you. Please forgive her." Manager Wu quickly pulled his wife aside.
"Brother Jinghuai..."
Lin Zhixin leaned close to the man's ear, her face filled with worry, "I really didn't know my sister worked here. If I had known, I wouldn't have come today."
The man's handsome face was cold and indifferent. "It has nothing to do with you. If we didn't run into each other today, we would have run into each other sooner or later."
“Brother Jinghuai, I would feel very bad if my sister resigned because of me.”
Lin Zhixin lowered her eyes shyly and said softly, "If that's how you feel, then I won't feel at ease working at Xie's..."
"Just do what you need to do, don't worry about her."
The man's jawline tightened, and his phoenix eyes gleamed with a dark, turbulent light. "Keeping worthless people at Xie's is a waste of human resources!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he stepped on the name "Jiang Shiyuan" on the paper and strode away.
Lin Zhixin raised her eyebrows slightly, and followed closely behind, stomping her high heels harder on the paper.
...
Jiang Shiyuan went to the bathroom alone, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on her face several times with trembling hands before the anger burning in her chest gradually subsided.
She looked up at her reflection in the mirror, seeing herself disheveled, pale, yet with a resolute expression.
At this moment, a subtle, suppressed pain crept into her heart.
Xie Jinghuai, you really are head over heels in love with Lin Zhixin.
What she wants, you give her with open arms; what she doesn't want to see, even if it's your wife, you make her disappear without hesitation.
Jiang Shiyuan gave a bitter laugh and wiped the water droplets from her cheeks.
What kind of wife is she to him?
A five-year marriage kept secret was nothing but a self-deceiving dream.
Jiang Shiyuan composed herself and went out the door.
"Sister Shiyuan! I've finally found you!" Yin Meng ran up to her breathlessly.
Jiang Shiyuan looked at her and asked gently, "Is there something you need?"
"Everyone in the department knows that you talked back to General Manager Xie to his face!"
Yin Meng looked at her with admiration, her eyes shining, "Sister Shi Yuan, you are so cool! You dare to stand up to capitalists. You are the first person to fire the first shot in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Jiang Shiyuan was amused by the girl, and the gloom from before was swept away.
It's hard to say about other things.
But she felt that she was probably the first person to cause trouble for Xie Jinghuai, the "Celestial Dragon".
"But... Sister Shiyuan, are you really planning to resign?"
Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly, "Mm."
Yin Meng was very worried and concerned for her, "Sister Shiyuan, you must think it over carefully. The Xie family is one of the leading conglomerates in the capital, with abundant funds and a bright future. It will be hard to find a better place than here once you leave."
"You did such a good job, and your abilities are so outstanding, you'll definitely have opportunities for promotion in the future..."
“I won’t have it here.”
Jiang Shiyuan smiled calmly, "Only by leaving the Xie family can my future be bright."
Yin Meng thought of how Yang Dianfeng usually made things difficult for her, and her throat tightened.
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were like two crescent moons as she sincerely said, "Mengmeng, thank you for taking care of me these past two years. If you ever need any help in the future, please remember to contact me. I will do my best to help you as long as it's within my power."
...
Jiang Shiyuan resigned without taking anything with her, except for the core data she used to develop the chip.
This is a big data model left to her by her mother before her death. She originally intended to use it on the latest new energy vehicle produced by the Xie Group, and it was almost completed.
In retrospect, it was really unnecessary.
When she walked out of the Xie Group, the sky was overcast and drizzling.
Just then, a roar sounded, and a red Ferrari, like a bright flame, sped towards her from afar, finally coming to a steady stop in front of her.
The car door opened, and a pair of high-quality black leather shoes stepped into the puddle without hesitation. A tall, slender figure in a sharp suit stepped out, opened a black umbrella with his well-defined knuckles, gazed intently at Jiang Shiyuan, and strode towards her impatiently.
"Ah Yuan!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled sweetly at the man, her eyes and brows sparkling with unparalleled beauty:
"Senior brother, it's been a long time."
Meanwhile, on the glass corridor on the third floor of the factory area.
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes swept over the two people staring at each other in the rain downstairs, his handsome face as cold as frost.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that this wooden, uninteresting woman could actually laugh like that.
In a gloomy, rainy world, she wore no makeup, yet she was like a bright, blooming rose, vibrant and full of life, as if the wind was hidden in her blood.
A subtle ripple stirred in the man's eyes.
"Who is that guy?" Xie Jinghuai asked coldly, his gaze unwavering.
Han Xu peeked over and said, "Um... you look familiar. Please wait a moment."
He immediately took a picture of the man and uploaded it to the newly developed facial recognition system for searching:
"Mr. Xie is Ye Yu, the chief legal counsel of KT Group in the United States. He just returned to China six months ago and is a rising star in the legal profession. Since his return, countless eyes have been on him, all wanting to bring him into their fold. He is truly a young talent..."
Xie Jinghuai interrupted coldly, "I asked you who he is. Did I ask you to spout so much nonsense?"
Han Xu muted himself: "..."
downstairs--
Ye Yu held almost the entire black umbrella over Jiang Shiyuan's head, leaving most of his body exposed to the rain. His tall, pine-like figure stood before her, enveloping her and giving her a complete sense of security.
"Get in the car quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."
The man's long arm encircled Jiang Shiyuan's slender waist, a mere gesture, displaying great gentlemanly manners.
But to someone else, it was like a thunderclap exploding right above his head!
"Ha, a newly rich guy? I think he's just a scoundrel!"
Xie Jinghuai clenched his fists tightly under his sapphire cufflinks, veins bulging, and every word he uttered sounded as if it had been chewed up countless times by his teeth, "Jiang Shiyuan is the same, as a wife and a mother, behaving so intimately with another man in broad daylight."
Doesn't she have any shame at all?!
Han Xu remained silent, but a question lingered in his mind:
You're like a crow perched on a pig—you only see what others are bad at, but you can't see what's bad about yourself.
From Xie Jinghuai's double-standard perspective, his attentive care for Lin Zhixin is simply a brother's duty to his sister, which is perfectly natural. Jiang Shiyuan's interactions with other men, however, are seen as shameless!
Jiang Shiyuan was his wife, his private property; they shared the same bed in life and the same grave in death.
Once he reaches the bottom, even if he's on the Bridge of Helplessness, if another man tries to compete with him, he'll kick that wild man off the bridge.
It's not necessarily love.
It's nothing more than an extreme possessiveness at play.
Jiang Shiyuan stared at the brand-new sports car in front of her, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Senior brother, when did you become so high-profile? You used to be a pragmatist."
"This was specially prepared to pick you up; it has to be impressive."
Ye Yu's gentle and refined features softened with a smile as he opened the car door for her. "Please, my young lady."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled calmly, and the two got into the car one after the other.
Soon, the red Ferrari splashed water and quickly left the factory area.
At this moment, Xie Jinghuai's narrow, cold phoenix eyes were redder than the taillights.
"Mr. Xie, it's almost time. You should go to your meeting," Han Xu said in a low voice after lifting the silencing.
"Go check."
Xie Jinghuai's crisp clothes heaved violently, his face dark and almost black. "How did Jiang Shiyuan and this sissy-driving Ye Yu meet? What is their relationship?"
