Summer Kiss

Chapter 97 Resignation
Director Wang glanced at Lin Yao and said earnestly, "Lin Yao, you should think this through. So many people want to get into the design department of Huangtian Group but can't. Once you leave the company, it will be very difficult to find a company like Huangtian Group in Haicheng."

Lin Yao knew very well how difficult it was to get into the design department of Huangtian Group, and she also knew that Huangtian Group's compensation was absolutely unmatched in Haicheng.

However, as long as Jiang Yuning is in the design department, she will never have a good day.

She recalled the unusual relationship between Jiang Yuning and the president, and decided that rather than being kicked out by the president later, she should resign now.

Lin Yao said, "Director, I've made up my mind."

Jiang Yuning couldn't quite understand Lin Yao's actions. Was she really going to resign? What exactly did she want to do?
Director Wang did not try to persuade her to stay, because you can't keep someone who's determined to leave.

He continued, following Lin Yao's words, "Since you've made up your mind, submit your resignation to the personnel department."

Lin Yao nodded, and she and Jiang Yuning walked out of the director's office together.

Jiang Yuning didn't quite believe that Lin Yao would compromise so easily. She leaned forward and suddenly asked, "Lin Yao, are you sure you want to resign?"

Lin Yao stopped in her tracks and asked, "Are you trying to persuade me to stay?"

Although Jiang Yuning and Lin Yao appear to be at odds, they occasionally have some contact regarding work-related matters.

She discovered that Lin Yao was always very serious about her work.

She paused for a few seconds, then suggested, "Perhaps a change of work environment would make you better, Lin Yao. To be honest, your design talent is actually quite good."

After saying that, Jiang Yuning left.

Lin Yao stood there, quietly pondering the meaning of Jiang Yuning's words.

At that moment, she seemed to suddenly realize something and understand many things, but it was too late.

Lin Yao returned to the design department, turned on her computer, wrote a resignation letter, and submitted it to the relevant department.

She turned around and looked at Chen Yihua, "Huahua, come here for a moment."

Chen Yihua walked over and subconsciously asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

Lin Yao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“I’ve resigned, and I plan to hand over my clients to you. I’ve printed out all their information and contact details.”

Chen Yihua could hardly believe her ears; she was completely stunned.

She clenched her hands, which were hanging between her legs, slightly, wanting to stand up for her.

She said indignantly, "Did you resign because of Jiang Yuning?"

Lin Yao pondered for a while, then shook her head.

"I'm not drawing because of her. I just want a change of work environment. Actually, Jiang Yuning, you can try to get to know her. Maybe you will discover her strengths."

Chen Yihua suddenly stood up straight. She couldn't believe Lin Yao would say such a thing. She clearly didn't have a good relationship with Jiang Yuning.

What kind of spell did Jiang Yuning cast on her to make her speak so favorably of her?

"Yaoyao, she just spilled coffee all over you. Are you out of your mind?"

Lin Yao is calmer than anyone else now. In fact, working in this environment, she sometimes loses herself.

"It was wrong of me to draw. Some things were my fault, but I just didn't realize my mistakes."

"You have to trust me about painting. Jiang Yuning is indeed a good person."

Chen Yihua hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Lin Yao meticulously handed over her clients to Chen Yihua, explaining clearly what each client needed to be aware of.

When it was time to leave work, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Having been in the design department for so long, this seemed to be the first time she had left work so easily.

Seeing that the HR department had approved her resignation, Lin Yao began packing her things. After packing all her personal belongings, Lin Yao turned around and went to Jiang Yuning's desk.

"Jiang Yuning is actually a good person at heart. She's just too naive and easily taken advantage of. Could you look after her in the design department?"

Jiang Yuning nodded in agreement, "Okay, what are your plans next?"

Lin Yao plans to let things take their course, saying, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Chen Yihua stood at the entrance of the design department, and upon hearing Lin Yao's words, her eyes couldn't help but redden.

She ultimately did not go into the office.

After Lin Yao left, Meng Shuyu also packed her things.

She asked slowly, "Yu Ning, what exactly is going on between you and Lin Yao? When did you two become able to talk so calmly?"

Jiang Yuning's eyelids twitched slightly, and the surging light in her eyes instantly returned to calm. "Perhaps she has come to terms with it."

Meng Shuyu seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand.

She didn't ask any more questions, but simply reminded her, "Yu Ning, go to bed early tonight, we have to catch a flight tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yuning made an "OK" gesture.

An international designers' exchange meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, and they will fly abroad tomorrow.

When Jiang Yuning returned home, she tidied her clothes and carefully placed the dress in her suitcase.

After doing all this, she couldn't help but take out her phone and send a few messages to Fu Xicheng.

...

Fu Xicheng was at the Twilight Bar when Pei Yanting suddenly arrived in Haicheng from the port city, and he was receiving him.

In the luxurious box.

Fu Xicheng felt that drinking with just the two of them was boring, so he called Xie Linzhou and asked him to come and drink with him.

Although Xie Linzhou wasn't a big drinker, he could at least keep up with Pei Yanting's drinking.

Pei Yanting sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed. He downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with each swallow, exuding a deadly allure.

He placed the cup on the table and lazily crossed his legs.

“Fu Xicheng, I’ve come all the way to Haicheng, why don’t you bring your girlfriend over so I can see her?”

Fu Xicheng glanced at the time; he didn't want to disturb Jiang Yuning's private time.

He made up a reason on the spot: "It's not safe for a girl to go out alone at night."

"Isn't that what you're here for? You drive to pick her up yourself, so she's safe, isn't she?"

"What, you don't want to bring her to see me?"

Fu Xicheng had just taken a small sip of wine; he couldn't drink and drive. "Next time," he said.

Pei Yanting squinted, lit a cigar, and lazily began to smoke.

After a long pause, he raised the corner of his lips, "But I just happen to want to see her tonight."

Fu Xicheng glanced at him, his dark eyes immediately darkening. His tone was indifferent yet displeased.

“She’s not someone you can just see whenever you want, Pei Yanting. Don’t try to take advantage of her.”

"Oh, is it so?"

Pei Yanting lowered his eyes, his deep gaze revealing a hint of inquiry. "Fu Xicheng, the more you cherish your girlfriend, the more curious I become."
