"It's rare to see Young Master Xie up so early," Chu Xing said without turning his head.
It's obvious that Xie Xing said those words; only someone with his carefree and irresponsible nature would have the inclination to joke around with Chu Xing.
"No need to worship me." Xie Xing shamelessly moved closer to Chu Xing and said in a deliberately profound tone, "If I'm not mistaken, it's probably still for your man, right?"
The news of Chu Xing's marriage did not spread within the industry; only their two close friends and family members knew about it.
Chu Xing, usually decisive and efficient, had never looked so melancholy. He resembled a wolf king trapped in a snare, struggling but refusing to lower its proud head.
Chu Xing had never felt so lost. Unbeknownst to him, Song Mai's presence had become an indispensable part of his life.
This also led him to feel increasingly like a stranger to himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Jibai noticed his dejected mood and sat down beside him to comfort him, saying, "There will always be friction between two people. Don't be discouraged by one argument."
"I just feel that sometimes I'm becoming less and less like myself."
The two people in front of him were his closest brothers, so he wasn't worried that they would laugh at him for saying these things.
"Love can make people lose themselves, which is perfectly normal."
After saying that, Xie Xing yawned and sat down on the other side, picked up the empty wine glass on the table, and said softly, "Want a drink?"
Chu Xing had never had a habit of drinking heavily, so he directly refused.
Xie Xing placed his hands behind his head and leaned back gently on the sofa.
He looked up at the roof, and his voice gradually became lower.
"Sometimes it is only when you are drunk that you can understand your true inner thoughts."
“I want to think about this matter clearly,” Chu Xing said thoughtfully. “Besides, I’ve never revealed my true identity, and I’m worried that it will eventually come to light.”
One lie requires a hundred more to cover it up.
"You haven't told her yet?" Jiang Jibai's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't I already remind you when Song Mai had that accident last time?"
Chu Xing did not speak.
His hesitation at that time sowed the seeds of future troubles. That was indeed the best opportunity to be honest, but he has not had the chance to speak up until now.
"If you ask me, anyone who wants to be honest with her shouldn't have any reservations. Honesty doesn't need any opportunity; if you want to, you can say it now." Xie Xing spoke in a rare serious tone.
Chu Xing ultimately did not heed his words, but instead continued to ponder on his own.
Just as the other two were chattering away, trying to come up with some bad ideas for him, Chu Xing got up and prepared to leave.
Jiang Jibai watched his retreating figure from behind and said lazily, "You should understand that if some things are delayed too long, they will lead to irreparable consequences."
These words made Chu Xing pause slightly, and a bad premonition gradually welled up in his heart.
He arrived at the company and saw Ji Fenghe waiting for him at the office door.
"Master Yun, I have something I want to tell you."
The two men looked at each other in the office. After a moment of contemplation, Ji Fenghe said softly, "I have submitted my resignation and will be leaving Yunxing in a month."
Have you made up your mind?
Chu Xing never tries to retain anyone in the company. He understands that those who want to leave cannot be kept.
All he could do was get the other party to confirm their decision before letting them leave.
"I've thought it through. Some things have happened at home recently, so I'm inevitably a bit busy," Ji Fenghe said with a hint of hesitation on his face.
In fact, he knew that Chu Xing had already discovered his identity.
His identity remained a ticking time bomb in Yunxing.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xing nodded: "Then I wish you a safe journey."
Ji Feng smiled helplessly, thanked him, and then got up and left.
When Assistant Lu came in to deliver the documents, Chu Xing's pensive look puzzled him.
"Go and investigate whether there have been any recent changes in the Xie family."
Assistant Lu nodded seriously: "I'll go investigate immediately."
Ji Fenghe couldn't have suddenly resigned without a reason, unless someone was preventing him from staying with the company.
Although Chu Xing wasn't interested in his family affairs, he still needed to know if the other party would have any impact on his company.
The news of Ji Feng's departure hasn't spread widely; currently, only he and Chu Xing know about it.
He called Song Mai into his office, took out an envelope, and said with a smile, "I know you've wanted to join the project department for a long time. This is a letter of recommendation. Although Manager Xie has already extended an olive branch to you, this letter will help you gain a better foothold in the project department."
"Manager Ji, actually I have no complaints about our department." Song Mai mistakenly thought he was blaming her and subconsciously began to explain.
Ji Fenghe was amused by her appearance and said in a low voice, "I have no other thoughts. I'm just preparing to leave Yunxing, so I'm taking care of some things before I leave."
"You're leaving?" Song Mai didn't react for a moment.
Ji Feng is exceptionally capable and has already established a certain reputation and status within the company.
If he continues to persevere, he will surely achieve even greater success in the company in the future.
"It's alright, we'll meet again if fate allows."
Song Mai sighed and said in a low voice, "I just didn't expect it to happen so suddenly."
"You must be careful when you go to the project department. The requirements there are even higher, and you can't afford to make any mistakes," Ji Fenghe said again, giving him his advice.
"I see."
Holding the letter of recommendation, Song Mai felt like she was in a dream.
All of this happened too hastily, as if the monsoon had played a huge joke on itself.
However, the new energy project will be completed in another week, at which point I will be able to go to the project site openly and legitimately.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but smile.
Looking at her silly grin, Su He asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Is there any new progress between you and your boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Song Mai immediately stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "That's not true."
"I'm really envious of you. You have such a handsome husband, your work is going smoothly, and your life is wonderful." Su He rested her chin on her hands and couldn't help but start to imagine her bright future.
"It's not as good as you imagine. You should just focus on doing your job properly to avoid getting your pay docked," Song Mai said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, changing the subject.
