She was still wearing a women's suit, stockings, and black high heels, with her hair piled up high—a standard modern white-collar outfit.
She raised her chin slightly, her face showing her pride and arrogance. Even though the Ji family had changed hands, she showed no sign of yielding when she looked at Ji Zhinan.
Lily placed the envelope on the desk and looked at Ji Zhinan: "Ms. Ji... no, you should call me Chairman Ji now. I'm here to resign. Ji's Group is too outstanding, and I consider myself too inexperienced to continue working for the new Chairman Ji."
Ji Zhinan leaned back in his swivel chair, crossed his legs, and twirled a pen in his hand.
Upon hearing Lily's words, she stopped what she was doing, raised an eyebrow at the resignation letter on the table, and then looked up at the serious-looking Lily.
"Have you thought it through?" she asked.
“Of course.” Lily replied indifferently as always.
Ji Zhinan sat up straight, casually tossed the pen onto the table, picked up the envelope, and opened it as she spoke.
"Approved."
Her decisiveness surprised Lily.
Ji Zhinan didn't even look at how the resignation letter was written; he simply signed his name at the bottom.
After signing his name, Ji Zhinan looked up and gazed at her meaningfully: "Secretary Lily has dedicated herself to Ji's company for over a decade, working tirelessly to the best of her ability. Now that she's leaving, I don't have much to give her, so I'll just offer my blessings. I wish Secretary Lily all the best."
"..."
She made a "please" gesture.
"No need to see me out."
Lily stared intently at Ji Zhinan for a long while, her eyes always smiling, seemingly casual yet somewhat deliberate.
She deliberately concealed her thoughts, and Lily couldn't figure it out no matter what she did. In the end, she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left to pack her things.
Not long after Lily left, another woman in a white-collar uniform entered; she was one of Ji Pengfei's other secretaries.
The secretary carried a large cardboard box filled with documents and envelopes; it was quite heavy for a young woman to carry.
It took quite a bit of effort to move the box onto the table, and the secretary's expression was somewhat complicated.
"Chairman Ji, these... these are contracts from various companies unilaterally canceling their cooperation, and..."
"With what?" Ji Zhinan asked.
"A resignation letter to everyone!"
Dozens of folders and hundreds of resignation letters filled the entire table.
"Everyone has already packed their things and left. This is just the first batch of resignation letters we've received; the second and third batches haven't been collected yet..."
Looking at the pile of things on the table, Ji Zhinan remained calm and composed.
She wondered how Ji Pengfei could so willingly give up the company to her; it turned out he was waiting for this.
A smile crept onto his face.
She withstood this initial challenge.
He randomly picked a folder, opened it, and casually flipped through the papers, saying as he did so.
"Make a note of the companies that terminated their contracts, find out the penalty fees, and don't give a single penny."
"In addition, those employees who resigned had their year-end bonuses forfeited if they had perfect attendance."
"..." The secretary did not leave and continued to stand there.
Ji Zhinan looked up: "What, didn't you understand?"
The secretary hesitantly took an envelope from the pocket of her pencil skirt and handed it to him with both hands: "Mr. Ji, I feel I'm no longer suited to stay at the company, so..."
Another resignation letter.
The resignation letters she received today could be sold at a street stall.
