Chapter 15. Resignation
The next morning, Yi Ruo got up, folded the paper and put it in her bag, walked out of the apartment and drove to the company.
Looking at the tall buildings on the roadside, she squinted her eyes. This was the prosperous city that people yearned for. It has given people so much hope, but also buried so many people's dreams. But many people want to get a place here even if they get hurt.
When she entered the company, she did not clock in. She went straight upstairs to her desk, packed up her things, and put all the items she brought into a cardboard box and covered it.
As soon as Shen Xi got out of the elevator, he saw Yi Ruo closing the cardboard box and preparing to leave. The things on the table had been cleared away. He frowned and walked over.
"What are you doing?"
Yi Ruo looked at Shen Xi with a faint look and said nothing.
Shen Xi looked at Yi Ruo, whose eyes were somewhat cold and unfamiliar, and sighed.
"Come in, let's talk." After saying that, he didn't move, but just stood there and looked at Yi Ruo quietly, until Yi Ruo slowly moved and walked towards Shen Xi's office, he followed her in and closed the door with his backhand. Secretary Chen standing by didn't even dare to say a word.
In the office, Shen Xi raised his feet and sat on the sofa beside him, waiting silently for Yi Ruo to sit opposite him, and then asked: "Why are you packing?" His voice was as gentle as always.
Yi Ruo didn't say anything either, just sat there quietly. Shen Xi looked at Yi Ruo who was trying to appear calm and stubborn, and said helplessly: "Have you found another job?"
There was silence. She don't know who sighed, but she heard the man helplessly say, "Yi Ruo, answer me."
Yi Ruo raised her head with slightly red eyes and said, "Yes, I found a job. I will go to resign later!" Then she took out the resignation letter from her bag and put it on Shen Xi's desk.
Shen Xi pursed his lips and picked up the resignation letter that Yi Ruo had placed on the coffee table. He flipped through it casually, but his palms were slightly tense and his eyes dimmed. He asked, "Where?"
Yi Ruo looked at the man who had returned to his cold and distant look, turned his head and looked at the other side, and said, "Xihe Group across the street."
Shen Xi paused, suddenly straightened up and looked up and said, "Don't they accept employees below a bachelor's degree?"
Thinking of the man who had dinner with Yi Ruo yesterday, even through the glass, she could see that the man was well-educated, and from his clothes he was financially well-off. Although she didn't know how Yi Ruo knew him, she thought that she wouldn't be able to find another person to help in a short time.
Shen Xi suppressed the slight bitterness in his heart and said, "Why do you have to go to another man for help? What did you promise him? I don't want to drive you away..."
Before he finished speaking, she looked at the man in disbelief, stood up, raised her hand and slapped the man with a ‘slap’.
The red five-finger mark immediately appeared on the man's fair and elegant face.
She glared at the man and said through gritted teeth: "What do you mean? Is this how I look to you?" Her eyes, already filled with tears, could no longer bear the weight of the tears, which slowly slid down her cheeks and wet her collar.
"I should have known it earlier... I relied on Xiao Li to enter this company, slept with you and said I didn't want your money, and then I turned around and bought a house and a car. Anyone would think that I was a whore and still a Cube card! I was too overestimating my own abilities."
"If you thought so about me from the beginning, why did you encourage me and move me to the secretariat, and why did you treat me so well!" As she said that, Yi Ruo rummaged through her bag with trembling hands, picked up Shen Xi's black card and threw it in his face.
"I'm giving it back to you. I guess I made a lot of money. I sold you for 3 million a night, and in the end, Mr. Shen even wanted me to stay in the company." Yi Ruo couldn't stop her tears from falling.
"Unfortunately, I don't want it. I would rather open my legs and let other men have sex with me, I'd rather..."
"Yi Ruo!" Shen Xi interrupted the woman's self-deprecation with a slight growl. Looking at Yi Ruo with red eyes, he whispered, "Don't say that about yourself."
Yi Ruo looked at Shen Xi's slightly frowned brows. Her stiff body bent slightly unwillingly. She squatted down with her head down, hugged herself helplessly, and sobbed silently.
Shen Xi stood up, walked to Yi Ruo, bent down and hugged her gently. His heart ached slightly and he said in a hoarse voice: "...I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't mean that. I just..." He felt a little uncontrollable bitterness in his heart, and he didn't say the unfinished words in the end. He knew he shouldn't and couldn't.

Coming out of the office, Secretary Chen looked at Yi Ruo with red eyes, quickly put down the documents in her hand, smiled and pretended nothing had happened, saying: "Tomorrow is the annual leave, relax."
Thinking of what Shen Xi said before leaving, she was just pretending and had never thought about leaving the company. After all, such a high-tech job is not something that someone like her who couldn't even graduate from college can find.
As for what she just said about finding a job in the building opposite, it was also a lie to Shen Xi. She actually saw Shen Xi yesterday, but she didn't expect that Shen Xi was still very concerned about the man who appeared next to her.
She told Shen Xi that she wanted to go back to the second department after the annual leave. Shen Xi nodded silently. Yi Ruo smiled and nodded to Secretary Chen, without even looking at the cardboard box on the table, and turned and left.
When she got home, she put down her bag and lay idly on the bed, thinking that Shen Xi might go to find his wife in a few days. In fact, Yi Ruo really didn't want to destroy the relationship between the couple, she just wanted to take the money and leave, but the show had to be finished to avoid endless trouble.
Now that the matter was over, she left the secretary job.
