He Jing blinked: "It's barbecue tonight, my treat."
Even if you can't be there in person, it's still nice to treat someone to a meal to show your appreciation.
Qi E said dejectedly, "Junior Sister, can you not leave? We're feeling so sad."
Old Ji sighed softly. "Ah, it's really tough on Qi E. Originally, this guy was waiting for He Jing to break up so he could take over. But when he found out that He Jing was a rich woman, even though he thought he couldn't compare to He Jing's boyfriend and his family's conditions were just average, he was happy as long as he could see He Jing. But then she just left like that."
The lab finally had a bit of romance going on, but it was nipped in the bud before it even started.
He Jing laughed: "I'm afraid if I stay any longer, you'll all fall in love with me, and that would be very distressing for me."
"Pfft—" The colleagues, who had no interest in He Jing, couldn't help but laugh. "Junior sister, have some shame."
The unpleasant atmosphere was instantly dispelled.
He Jing thought that she had been with Yan Hanxi for a long time and had learned a lot of such glib talk from him. Her skin had gradually become thicker. In the past, she would never have made such jokes.
"Junior sister, Yu Jiaojiao is leaving too. I heard she submitted her resignation this morning. You'll probably run into her when you go to the HR department later."
"oh?"
As fate would have it, He Jing actually ran into Yu Jiaojiao on her way to the personnel department.
Yu Jiaojiao looked as if she hadn't slept all night, her eyes were red and swollen. Holding her resignation documents, she was no longer as arrogant as before, and her whole demeanor was extremely gloomy.
She used to be surrounded by people wherever she went, but today she is all alone and looks very lonely.
When the other people in the corridor saw the two standing together, they all stopped to watch the spectacle.
Gossip always spreads the fastest. The people in the Energy Group were tight-lipped and didn't want to reveal He Jing's identity to give her any reason to speculate, but they couldn't resist the vivid stories told by the men in the Chemical Engineering Group.
They were the ones who usually fawned over Yu Jiaojiao, but now that Yu Jiaojiao was leaving, it turned into them saying that Yu Jiaojiao bullied them and acted arrogantly because of her family background, and they started saying good things about He Jing instead.
This whole operation made even people from other departments feel nauseous.
Now that He Jing had punished Yu Jiaojiao, she naturally wouldn't bother with her anymore and walked past her without glancing at her.
Suddenly, Yu Jiaojiao called out in a trembling voice, "He Jing."
He Jing stopped abruptly.
“I’m going to have sex reassignment surgery,” Yu Jiaojiao said. “I’ve scheduled the surgery for 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow. Please… don’t harm my family.”
He Jing smiled and said, "Yu Jiaojiao, you do have a bit of a woman's courage and responsibility. Don't worry, I won't harm the innocent."
Yu Jiaojiao burst into tears and asked again, "If I become a man, can I still appear in City A?"
"certainly."
She's not that petty.
Yu Jiaojiao finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She leaned against the wall of the corridor and cried loudly, her cries filled with helplessness and fear.
However, no one sympathized with her, and He Jing certainly didn't. Amidst the cries, He Jing walked away.
...
Having successfully completed the resignation process, He Jing stepped out of the Chemical Research Institute with a light heart. She made a phone call and asked Yan Hanxi to pick her up.
Yan Hanxi: "Look to your right."
He Jing looked and saw that the low-key business car was already parked on the side of the road.
This was a new car, and He Jing had never seen Yan Hanxi use it before. She opened the car door, got in, and asked, "Are we going to the premiere of 'Qiong Xin' now?"
"The premiere is in the evening, so now is definitely time to...go on a date."
