Chapter 2024: The Day Has Finally Arrive
Xiao Yuqian handed over her resignation letter.
Mr. He was surprised to see the letter.
“Are you sure? You’ve worked really hard to get to where you are right now,” Mr. He said.
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind. Thank you for all the care you’ve given to me for the past few years.” Xiao Yuqian thanked with all her heart. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t work at Huayin anymore, but I’ll never forget what you and the company have given me.”
If not for Mr. He, Xiao Yuqian would never have the success that she was enjoying.
“Well, I can’t force you if you’ve made up your mind. But let me give you a piece of advice. The road you’ve chosen to walk won’t be easy. But if anything happens in the future and you decide to come back, the door will always be open for you.”
“Thank you.”
Xiao Yuqian bowed to Mr. He. After she’d left his office, Xiao Yuqian suddenly realized that giving up something she cared about wouldn’t actually affect her.
She had noticed that her career was actually giving her too much pressure on her personal life.
Not only did Xiao Yuqian not feel down after she’d decided on resigning, but she felt liberated.
A lot of her now ex-colleagues were sad that Xiao Yuqian had to leave, but some were happy. Now that the spot of the ace of the company was empty, they could fight for it.
Xiao Yuqian had already stopped caring what other people thought of her. She packed her stuff and left the building.
Just as Xiao Yuqian was about to unlock her car, a man dressed in an expensive suit came up to her.
“By any chance, are you Miss Xiao?” the man asked.
“Yes. And you are?”
“I’m Mr. Ma Hangcheng’s personal assistant. Our president wants a meeting with you.”
The assistant pointed at a corner not far from them. A luxurious car was sitting there.
Xiao Yuqian had guessed that Ma Hangcheng would want to meet her someday. And that day had finally arrived.
Xiao Yuqian put her stuff in the trunk and followed the assistant towards the luxurious vehicle.
The car took her to an expensive tea house, and she met Ma Hangcheng in there.
Just from his looks, Xiao Yuqian could tell that Ma Hangcheng was a man of knowledge and dignity. But he also had the warm and kind vibe that a decent elder should have.
Ma Hangcheng smiled at Xiao Yuqian when she entered. “Nice to meet you, Miss Xiao. Please, have a seat.”
Xiao Yuqian sat across from Ma Hanghceng on the floor pillow. Ma Hangcheng then poured a cup of tea for her from the dark-red enameled teapot.
“What does Mr. Ma need from me?” Xiao Yuqian asked, knowing full well why Ma Hangcheng wanted to meet her.
“I think a smart woman like you should know why.” Ma Hangcheng smiled.
Xiao Yuqian sighed. “I know that you don’t wish to see your son dating me… But this isn’t something that you have control over. Even though you have the power to stop us from meeting each other, you can’t stop us from loving each other.”
“Good, very good.” Ma Hangcheng smiled warmly. “I can see why my son would do anything for you. Did you know that he even begged for my help because of you? You should know that he’s the type of person that doesn’t beg other people easily, not even me.”
“He begged for your help because of me?” Xiao Yuqian asked in awe.
“Yes.” Ma Hangcheng nodded. “Who do you think the Xingmang Company that helped your father’s company belongs to?”
Xiao Yuqian wasn’t an idiot and instantly realized what Ma Hangcheng was implying.
“It’s you, am I right?”
