On the way back, Yan Zheng drove and Sang Tianen sat in the passenger seat. She was fiddling with her red book with her mobile phone, trying to find a suitable angle to take a beautiful photo to post on WeChat Moments. She took more than ten photos but was still not satisfied.
Yan Zheng glanced at her from time to time, and seeing her taking pictures non-stop, he couldn't help but say, "Just take one."
"Oh, that's wrong. This is a marriage certificate, not just an ordinary commemorative photo. Of course, we have to be careful." Sang Tianen said disapprovingly, "Besides, this is my first marriage, so of course I have to take a good photo."
"What? You want to get married a second time?" Yan Zheng said in a slightly calm voice.
Sang Tianen's eyes rolled around and he said with a grin, "How could that be possible?" and slapped his mouth.
Yan Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
After fiddling with the red book eight hundred times, Sang Tianen finally took a satisfactory photo. Just as he was about to post it on his Moments, he suddenly thought of a serious question.
She and Yan Zheng are going to hold a wedding, and they will inevitably have to invite some relatives and friends. This means that the relationship between the two will be completely exposed, and one of her and Yan Zheng must leave Kaitian.
She likes this job very much and has a good relationship with her colleagues. She can be more capable in other companies, but she may not have such harmonious relationships with colleagues.
"Yan Zheng, I plan to resign and work for another company." Sang Tianen said regretfully.
Yan Zheng was stunned when he heard this, unable to keep up with her jumping thoughts: "What do you mean? Why would you resign when you are doing well?"
"We are colleagues. I don't want to be humiliated for the rest of my life because of my work. I want to be with you openly." Sang Tianen expressed his thoughts.
Yan Zheng frowned as he listened and said, "You are currently a team leader in the company. If you resign and join another company, you might lose your current position and benefits. Perhaps we can think of other solutions."
Sang Tianen smiled and asked, "What's the solution? Keep hiding from the public?"
Yan Zheng was speechless. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that the two of them couldn't go on like this forever. Sooner or later, one of them would choose to leave, either him or Sang Tianen.
Sang Tianen is young and capable, and she will definitely climb up in time. If she leaves Kaitian, she may need to start all over again.
At his age, as a man and now with a child, if he resigns, it basically means he is saying goodbye to his career.
Other industries may pay attention to qualifications and experience, but for their industry, age is a fatal flaw, regardless of gender.
This is a question that tests human nature. Sang Tianen probably knows this, so he gave a direct answer.
Yan Zheng had to admit that although Sang Tianen seemed to have a bad temper and could scold you for three days and three nights if you said something to her, most of the time the gentleness that this woman inadvertently revealed could almost kill him.
What's wrong with leaving the workplace for a woman like this?
He took a deep breath, put on a nonchalant smile and said, "Actually, I want to resign too."
Now it was Sang Tianen's turn to be stunned. She glanced at him incredulously and said, "Why are you quitting your job? Aren't you doing a good job?"
"I'm tired of it." Yan Zheng said with a smile, "I'm in my thirties now. I'm finally married and have two children. I want to take good care of them at home."
"Don't!" Sang Tianen said with great disapproval, "I'll ask someone to take care of the child."
"The child is too young, and I don't feel safe letting others take care of me."
Sang Tianen's expression turned serious: "Yan Zheng, are you serious? Do you really want to resign or are you leaving because of me?"
"I really want to quit. I'm tired and don't want to work overtime every day to lead projects."
Sang Tianen didn't believe what he said at all. She believed him when he said he couldn't bear to leave his child, but she would never believe him when he said he didn't want to lead the project, even if she was beaten to death.
She still remembered that last month someone told her with shining eyes that the project bonus had come in, and he had received 80,000 yuan. The company also planned to distribute original shares to employees at the department level and above at the end of the year.
"Yan Zheng, let me be honest. If you've been willing to be a househusband since you were little, I'd be very happy if you quit your job and stayed home to take care of the kids."
"But if you choose to sacrifice your career because of me, I hope you won't do it."
"We're newlyweds now, and our relationship is great. You quit your job and went home to be a househusband, but as time goes by, you'll see your peers working hard towards their own goals, and you'll gradually develop a different mindset."
"You'll wonder what life would be like if I didn't quit? Would it be better than theirs?"
"When you have this kind of thought, and you see two children who have exhausted you, and me who may not have the same strong feelings for you anymore, you will feel that your efforts are not worth it."
"Then there will be quarrels, cold wars, and even divorce. This is not the ending I want to see."
Yan Zheng was silent for a moment and then said, "I won't regret it, and I believe you won't do that to me."
"Yes, that's the way of thinking. Many men think the same way as you do." Sang Tianen had an expression as if he had guessed it. "Don't bet on human nature, including me."
Yan Zheng fell silent again, and after a moment he said in a hoarse voice: "I know everything you said, but if I don't do this, you will be the one who leaves."
"If your career doesn't go well in the future, you will think that if it weren't for this man, your life would have been different."
"So you are worried about this?" Sang Tianen looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Yan Zheng smiled bitterly: "You're right, don't gamble on human nature, so I choose myself."
Sang Tianen paused, even a little shocked. It turned out that Yan Zheng was more insightful than he thought. This man who always loved to act coquettishly also had such a mature and profound side.
The car came to a steady stop. Yan Zheng pulled the handbrake and said, "We're home. Get out of the car."
Sang Tianen took his hand and said seriously, "From the moment I turned eighteen, I started working hard to make money so that I could have more choices in life."
"I could have stopped working a long time ago, but my life is cheap and I like to live a busy life."
"Before I met you, I had already made plans to find a place to farm and fish. A career doesn't exist for me. Work is just about doing what I love and having fun in my boring life."
"So I just quit without thinking too much. I can continue to work somewhere else. If I'm unhappy, I'll just fire my boss and work for another company."
"You really don't need to have such a heavy burden on your mind, thinking that if you quit your job, your life will be different."
"I've made many choices, and I don't regret a single one. I'm very aware of every step I take, and I'm responsible for my own life. Even if I made the wrong choice, it was due to my lack of understanding, not you."
