Chapter 77 Outside the Office Building
Lin Yun put down his phone and continued to organize the documents on his desk.
After lunch break, Xia Liang inexplicably sent him a text message, saying that he suspected Mo Ke had lied about military intelligence and had not returned for a long time after claiming to have gone out to look for a magical girl, so he wanted to conduct a follow-up investigation.
Thinking back to when he had been the subject of their investigation some time ago, and now they were pointing the finger at Mo Ke, Lin Yun found it funny, but he did not refuse.
He used the tracking technique that he had previously set up on Moko, and after a simple sensing, he determined his location and shared it with the two girls through the group.
"But... the welfare home?"
While sorting out the documents, his mind gradually wandered: "Maybe there really is a new person?"
Although he is not very positive about whether to recruit new magical girls, if he really meets a talented child, the final decision may still fall on her.
After all, after the previous conversation with his daughter, not only did Lin Xiaolu temporarily let go of his worries, he also figured out many things.
He will quit his job which he has been doing for nearly ten years and devote all his energy to the magical girl-related matters. Once he makes this decision, it actually means one thing - one day, he will investigate the truth of Anya's death.
At the beginning, he did not take any action even though he knew that there were suspicious circumstances surrounding his wife's death. This was because the golden-green cat's eye reminded him that he was now a father and the only relative of his daughter. If something happened to him again, no one would raise his child.
But the situation is different now, my daughter has also become a magical girl.
Although the process was somewhat accidental and even not very pleasant, since she was determined to go down this path, as a father, I should support her as much as possible.
Then there is another option: train your daughter to be strong enough to protect herself from all enemies, and then choose a suitable time to leave.
As a result, I began to think about helping my daughter to train a team.
As early as when he recruited Xia Liang, he had had this idea in his heart, but later he found that his life was too busy with working during the day, being a magical girl, and tutoring two children at night.
With such a crowded schedule, if he rashly recruited new magical girls, not only would he not have time to teach one more person, but there might also be loopholes in protecting their personal safety.
He hopes that while he helps his daughter train a class, every child will be able to grow up safely and steadily, and when they are fully grown, they can face the real storms.
And now that he has chosen to resign, he feels more confident about recruiting new people.
This was also the reason why he took the initiative to agree to let Xia Liang and the others follow Mo Ke.
After arranging the documents on his desk and putting them aside to make sure there were no omissions, he stood up from his seat and took one last look at his desk.
It would be a lie to say that I have no attachment to this job.
He worked in this position for a long time, and although he experienced a lot of fatigue and unhappiness during this period, he also made many friends and gained a lot of growth. More importantly, this was a way for him to shape his own sociality.
She chose to retire from her magical girl identity and enter the society to become a professional. The motivation for this behavior is not only that she does not want to live off her savings, she wants to use her work income to provide more security for her family life and find something to do for herself, but also that she wants to clarify herself and maintain her original intention.
The essence of a person is a collection of his or her social relations: it is because of meeting, coexisting with, and influencing different people that each person becomes a unique individual.
Walking out of his office and closing the door gently, Lin Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.
That's the end.
After that, he will go to the general manager's office to say hello, and then resign completely, bidding farewell to this part of his career.
During the period, he passed by the office of the Foreign Affairs Dispatch Department. Through the glass window, his eyes met with those of his old colleagues. He saw Liu Guanshan, who was sitting behind his desk with his feet crossed, smiling and raising his hand to him.
Have two more drinks when you have time.
This is what his mouth said.
"Come on, who would drink if not for socializing?" Lin Yun cursed with a low laugh through the window.
When he arrived at the door of the general manager's office and saw that it was ajar, he paused, straightened his collar, and then knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
A hoarse voice came from inside the door.
As he walked into the door, Lin Yun could see the general manager of his company, a man named Wang Tengfei, sitting behind the desk, looking at him with a smile on his face.
The reason why he is the general manager instead of the president is because Gaosheng is actually still a chain brand.
Its small and home elevator business covers the entire southern Donghua Province, and its headquarters is located in the nearest central city, Yannan City.
When Anya was still alive, Lin Yun would occasionally go on business trips for external affairs; after Anya passed away, in order to better take care of Lin Xiaolu, he took the initiative to apply for a job in the after-sales department. Although he was busier, at least he was always in Fangting City.
At that time, he was also communicating with the general manager in front of him.
The people who changed jobs and resigned now are still the same people, but their mindsets are completely different.
"Lao Lin, sit down. Have you really thought it through?"
Wang Tengfei pointed at the chair in front of his desk and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. You are also an old employee of ours and you are very capable. I was planning to promote you in two years. You will have no problem becoming a manager."
"Everyone knows about the situation at home you mentioned. There have indeed been some issues with your attendance recently, and everyone can understand that. Just get over this hurdle, and it will be fine, right?"
Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t get over this hurdle.
Lin Yun sighed inwardly.
If it was just a normal fluctuation in his life, he could tolerate it. But now, it was difficult to balance work and the magical girl's affairs, so he could only choose the side that was more important to him.
Now that Anya is lost, Lin Xiaolu is the heaviest chip on the scale.
"Boss Wang, we have discussed this matter many times. The company treats me well, but I do have some personal reasons."
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you, so Lin Yun also smiled and said, "I do have a lot of things to deal with at home, and I don't know when it will be done. If I continue, it will only cause trouble to the company. It's better to make a decision early."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Everyone can understand. You're taking this matter too seriously."
Wang Tengfei wanted to persuade him again: "If something happens at home, you can just take a long vacation. We are old friends, why are you being so extreme?"
"Hey, Mr. Wang..."
Lin Yun pretended to sigh, and the two of them continued to pretend to be nice to each other until they had fulfilled their courtesy to each other, and only then did they end the conversation.
In the office in the afternoon, the only sound was the conversation between two people. If you listened carefully, you could also hear the sound of the air-conditioning blowing.
The sunlight shines into the office through the floor-to-ceiling windows, forming large bright spots on the ground.
But among the bright spots, a tiny black dot appeared at some point.
The black spot grew bigger and heavier, gradually becoming difficult to ignore, and even vaguely took on a human shape.
Lin Yun, facing the window, was still talking to Wang Tengfei, but as he gradually saw the scene outside the window clearly, his speech became slower and slower, and finally he stopped talking completely.
There is a person outside the window.
The general manager's office is on the 17th floor of the office building, and there is no way there is anyone outside the window.
However, at this moment, there was indeed someone standing far outside the window, looking at the office building where Lin Yun was.
That was a young girl.
A smiling girl in a black dress.
