Zhen Heng turned around, and Lin Muyan was already in tears.
A tissue was handed to her, and she wiped her tears with a red face, but her nose became even redder, not knowing if it was from crying or from the cold.
Someone hugged her from behind, and some cold liquid brushed against her hair.
Lin Muyan was stunned, but the other person hugged her even tighter, pressing her soft body and causing her to bend forward.
"Sob sob sob, Sister Yan, you two are too romantic sob sob..." Liu Er Bao cried like a broken faucet, his eyes turning into poached eggs, looking even more pitiful than the person involved, Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan turned around, tore off the half of the tissue that wasn't dampened by her own tears, and wiped Liu Er Bao's round chubby cheeks.
"Romance still cries," she complained, her stiff expression crumbling into a helpless smile in less than two seconds. "Why did you all come?"
Just calmed down Liu Er Bao, this crybaby, Lin Muyan looked up again, Song Xi held a bag in front with both hands, and Zhou Shuhuan behind seemed to be not quite used to this situation, vigorously rubbing the back of his head with his left hand.
"Xiao Chen was afraid that you would be too lonely on Christmas, so he called us all to keep you company."
Song Xi slowly approached Lin Muyan, gently patting her shoulder, her emotions more restrained than Liu Er Bao, and more comforting to Lin Muyan.
"Well, thank you all."
Lin Muyan smiled through tears.
Liu Er Bao still had tears on his face, and he pouted unhappily, "Even if Xiao Chen didn't say it, we would still celebrate Christmas with you. Hmph, let him go first."
"Here, these are the flowers he didn't have time to give." Zhou Shuhuan glanced at Song Xi and pulled out a bunch of powder pink roses from behind, forcefully stuffing them into Lin Muyan's arms. He retreated quickly, as if avoiding someone.
Lin Muyan stared blankly at the Fresh flowers in her arms, a smile spreading across her lips.
The third day after Christmas.
Penglai Technology President's Office, Liu Er Bao respectfully holding a letter standing by the desk.
"Manager Wen, thank you for the cultivation your company has given me during this time."
She placed the envelope respectfully on the table and gently pushed it to Wen Zimo's hand.
The three words "resignation letter" were written neatly, particularly conspicuous on the pure white envelope.
"This is my resignation letter. Please approve it."
Wen Zimo gave a cold glance at the resignation letter and furrowed his brow, "What does this mean? You want to resign just after completing the probation period?"
"Is it not allowed?"
Liu Er Bao scratched her head. She had asked Sister Yan about it last night, and Sister Yan had said it was okay.
"I have already applied with the Human Resources Department, so there shouldn't be any issues with the procedures," she added again.
Wen Zimo, however, pushed the resignation letter back with a cold face and said, "Take your broken stuff and get out, go to work."
Liu Er Bao didn't take it, just stared at the resignation letter for a few seconds, and slowly said, "To be honest, I have been really happy at Penglai Technology in these two months. Not only did I get to know my colleagues, but I am also content that we can work and commute together in the same place."
Wen Zimo lowered his eyes, motionless.
Liu Er Bao sighed softly, "I never thought I could be fully responsible for a project. Everyone at Penglai Technology has really taught me a lot. It's not a sudden decision, I've thought about it for a long time. Everything here is great, but my focus is no longer here."
The room was quiet, and Wen Zimo tapped his index finger on the armrest of the chair.
"Do you also think I'm stupid and foolish, not suitable for Penglai? Then just agree." She pushed the resignation letter forward a bit, her round eyes still holding some affection for him, but perhaps due to her growth during this time, she had begun to accept the fact that she couldn't win Wen Zimo's favor.
"Your abilities are so poor that only I would be willing to take you in. If you're not grateful, that's one thing, but you still want to resign? Do you really think Penglai can't do without you? That's too self-important."
With a cold snort, Wen Zimo suddenly tore the resignation letter to shreds and threw it towards the ceiling, the fluttering scraps of paper falling on Liu Er Bao's head.
Being hurt over and over again, even someone with a good temper like Liu Er Bao can't take it. What's more, she didn't have a good temper to begin with, but was just trying hard to suppress it for the sake of her love. She took three deep breaths in a row, but obviously it didn't work. The corners of her downturned mouth were already starting to taste bitter.
"It's okay, you tore one, I have another one." She took out a more neatly written resignation letter from her bag and placed it openly on Wen Zimo's desk.
"I want to resign," she said, tapping the table, word by word.
Wen Zimo, accustomed to her usual yielding manner, was reminded by reason that no matter how excessive he acted, Liu Er Bao would endure it because she liked herself.
And this love makes him involuntarily fearless. But he has never considered that one day, this love will also come to an end. By that time, Liu Er Bao will become someone irrelevant to him again.
He suddenly became serious, wanting to tear up the resignation letter again, but he was forced to put it aside because he could tell that Liu Er Bao really wanted to resign. "You..." He pursed his lips, his gaze drifting, but his tone softened, "You also said that this place has given you a lot of room to grow, so why do you have to resign?" Reason told him that Liu Er Bao leaving was the right thing to do, he was quite annoyed that this person always clung to him, but at the thought of never seeing this round face again, he felt suffocated.
Liu Er Bao cautiously aimed at him, seeing that he didn't impulsively tear up his resignation letter, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had written an extra copy.
"Um, can I not say it?" Liu Er Bao replied slowly to Wen Zimo's words, with a somewhat strange expression.
He had previously appeared ready to make a big move, but when asked about the reason for leaving, he suddenly changed his attitude. Even if Wen Zimo was slow, he could still sense that something was wrong. "If you want to leave, I have to know your reasons, right?" He seemed to compromise as he sighed, no longer speaking harshly to Liu Er Bao.
Liu Er Bao feels like there's something wrong with herself. Even when others suddenly speak kindly to her, she still feels a bit nostalgic for the previously grumpy Wen Zimo. Could it be true, as Sister Yan said, that her masochistic tendencies have been triggered? Liu Er Bao is seriously distracted, and falling into Wen Zimo's eyes seems to confirm his suspicions. He calmly scrutinizes the girl across from him, who has visibly lost weight.
"Oh, I guess I can say it." She scratched her head, feeling troubled and a little embarrassed as she chuckled. Now it was Wen Zimo's turn to be at a loss.
"Smile" has several meanings?
But he still plucked up the courage to ask, "Then tell me, I can agree to your resignation, but you must tell me the reason. If you leave without explanation, what will our other colleagues think?"
Perhaps it was the last sentence that had an effect. Liu Er Bao hesitated in scratching his head, slowly put his hand down, and stood up straight.
"I'm going back to my hometown," she suddenly blurted out. Wen Zimo was confused for a moment before he remembered to ask, "What does going home have to do with resigning?"
"I'm going back to my hometown," Liu Er Bao looked at the man in front of her as if he were an idiot. "My hometown is near N City. My mom arranged a blind date for me and wants me to go back and take a look. If it's a good match, I probably won't come back to Wei City."
Anyway, she has already decided to give up. Facing Wen Zimo, she no longer feels the usual sadness, but instead feels very open and honest. This time, Wen Zimo was at a loss. "Why are you going back to your hometown?" He seemed to not understand, and asked again, with a direct and intense gaze, as if his spirit had already run out of his mind.
"Blind date." Liu Er Bao patiently explained again, "I'm going back to my hometown for a blind date, and if everything goes well, I might get married this year."
She came from a small county, where people generally do things like this - meet, chat, see if it's a good match, and if they feel it's acceptable, they get married.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Liu Er Bao waited for a while, still didn't hear Wen Zimo say anything, feeling a bit disappointed. She thought she would at least be persuaded to stay with a sentence, but it seems... she was being too hopeful.
Well, she self-mockingly pursed her lips. Wen Zimo doesn't like her anyway.
He wouldn't care who she's with.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to boost my spirits a bit.
"So, Manager Wen, is this reason sufficient?"
She raised her eyebrows, and for the first time, Wen Zimo noticed that this round-faced girl also had such a teasing side.
He pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. Liu Er Bao glanced at the time and clicked his tongue.
"I've already submitted my resignation letter. I'll pack up my things myself, and I've already arranged the handover work with Qing Jie. There's nothing else. I have to go."
She seemed quite anxious. Seeing that Wen Zimo had nothing to say, she shrugged and walked out the door.
When Wen Zimo finally came to her senses and was called back, Liu Er Bao had already left the company with all her belongings packed up. The biting cold wind contrasted with the clear sky. Liu Er Bao wiped away her tears, cursed herself for being weak, and got into the luxury car that Lin Muyan had sent to pick her up.
"He let you go so easily?" Lin Muyan turned the steering wheel and couldn't resist the urge to come back and settle the score with Wen Zimo.
Liu Er Bao laughed, "Didn't I say I've let it go? It's not going to lead to anything anyway. It's fine the way he is."
"Fine? What's fine about it? He's a scumbag! I curse him to never find a girlfriend!"
Lin Muyan snorted and saw Liu Er Bao beside her seemed to want to cry again. She sighed, "Alright, I won't curse at him. Don't cry, look at you. If Auntie knew someone was bullying her daughter like this, she would probably come with a kitchen knife to chop them up."
Thinking of Auntie Liu's tough appearance, Lin Muyan really felt a little worried for Wen Zimo. With that small frame, who knows how many beatings he could withstand.
That night, the door of the 32nd floor of Wufu Hua City was knocked on. Wen Zimo stood outside the door, his usually nonchalant expression showing cracks for the first time, pacing impatiently in front of the door. Inside, there were light footsteps, the sound of the door lock turning, and his expression suddenly changed as he placed his hand on the door and abruptly pulled it back.
"Hey, you're leaving so quickly, have you finished handing over your work..." Okay.
In a commanding tone, Wen Zimo's face stiffened when he saw the person at the door.
"Lin Muyan? When did you move back in?"
He pretended to casually glance inside, but his eyes were anxiously searching for someone. Lin Muyan was about to slam the door coldly, but he didn't dare to pretend anymore. He quickly reached out to block the door and said, "Hey, don't close it yet. Where's that Liu Liu Er Bao?" He really couldn't maintain his composure in front of Lin Muyan.
"Aren't you supposed to have driven him away?" If it weren't for Xiao Chen, Lin Muyan wouldn't even want to bother with him. She had thought Wen Zimo was a decent person before, but now it's clear that he's the worst of the worst. Seeing that he had no explanation and was wearing a face of possible self-ignorance, Lin Muyan suddenly got angry.
"What does he have to be upset about? When Liu Er Bao was around, he was so capable, pushing people around. Now that he's successfully pushed him away, he's making this expression again. What, does he really owe Liu Er Bao something?
"Is this how you usually boss Er Bao around?" She glared with a pair of fiery eyes. Wen Zimo was stunned and didn't respond.
"Why did she go to work for you, and why did she resign? Don't you know all that? Now that you want to find her, it's too late. Liu Er Bao is foolish, otherwise he wouldn't have let you hurt him like that. Now he has to go back to his hometown to heal!"
Wen Zimo looked at her and didn't think this person deserved sympathy. "What did I say wrong? You came all the way here because you heard she was going to go on a blind date and return to her hometown for good, right? What you should do now is not to come find her, but to go back and take a look at your own face."
"If you really have no feelings for her, then don't disturb her life anymore. But if you really, even just a little bit, like her, then go to the airport and find her."
Lin Muyan wasn't doing this for Wen Zimo. She just wanted to make up for the last regret before Liu Er Bao left.
The emotional life of that maid is really not going well. She touched her chin and said that next time Er Bao comes back, she must take her to the temple to ward off bad luck. "What time is the flight?"
"An hour and a half later, I'll see if you still have a conscience."
Lin Muyan hadn't finished speaking her annoyed words when Wen Zimo had already run out.
Airport.
Liu Er Bao only carried a small crossbody bag with her, sitting in the airport lounge, waiting for the security check time. The flight was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but Sister Yan suggested she change the time earlier. She thought since it was only one night, it wouldn't make much of a difference to return early, so she came to the airport to change her ticket. Looking at the ticket she had changed to half an hour later, Liu Er Bao rested her chin on her hand, her elbow pressing on her knee, leaning forward and absentmindedly scrolling through her phone.
Just watched a video and my phone screen went black, completely shut down. She frowned and looked out at the dark and crowded tarmac. "Miss, could you please help us line up? I need to go to the restroom to feed my child, but the line is too long," a pregnant woman holding a baby suddenly asked her.
Liu Er Bao took a glance at the boarding gate a few steps away and nodded.
Wen Zimo rushed to the airport, and the mechanical female voice above was announcing boarding information.
In his hurried arrival, he didn't have time to ask Lin Muyan which flight Liu Er Bao was taking. As soon as he entered the airport, he hurried to the information desk and asked, "Where is the gate for the flight to N city at 7:30?"
"Sir, please wait a moment while I check." The staff politely looked at the computer, and after being urged a few times by Wen Zimo, said, "It's at Gate A13."
Zone A……Wen ZimoMuttering to himself, he quickly said thank you and hurried towards the elevator.
