As the busy signal rang, Huo Xiao reluctantly hung up the phone.
Huo's mother, who was standing nearby, hurriedly asked him, "When is Song Jia coming back?"
Huo Xiao looked utterly dejected. "Mom, don't worry about it. She said she won't be back for the next year or two."
Mrs. Huo immediately rubbed her forehead; she had a slight headache.
"Oh dear, I only said a few words to Xue Mei, how could this be? I didn't know about Xue Mei's evil deeds."
"Son, go to the capital quickly. You must bring them back no matter what." Song Jia was determined this time.

"I resigned and went to Beijing to be with them."
Huo's mother's expression immediately changed drastically. "You're giving up your perfectly good job as deputy factory director? People in the capital are all exceptional individuals. What can you possibly do there?"

"If it doesn't work out, then go."
Huo Xiao was surprised that his father was so open-minded, and he wrote a resignation letter the next day when he went to work.
However, for an executive like him, it would take about a month before he actually left the company.
The news of his resignation spread quickly throughout the factory.
