Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Back in his rented room, Lu Hao was still a little dazed.

He leaned against the door, his mind buzzing, repeatedly replaying Xiao Xiyue's shocked expression at the end.

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, a sense of absurdity washing over him.

He actually told Xiao Xiyue about Yunlan Clothing's plan.

Lu Hao gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Well done, Lu Hao, you've really made something of yourself. You've become a corporate spy?

He was a corporate spy who didn't take money, but instead gave favors.

If people in the underworld found out, they'd probably laugh their heads off.

He returned to his room and sat down at his desk.

Forget it.

There's no point in thinking about it anymore now that things have come to this.

This plan must be completed and then handed over to Lin Ran, as a way of repaying her kindness in taking care of me.

After that, he handed in his resignation and left.

He had already thought about the mess that would follow.

Once Yunlan Company discovers the leak of the plan, the first people they will investigate will inevitably be the internal personnel who have access to this core secret.

And isn't Vice President Li, who has a close personal relationship with Yunlan, the best suspect?

A living target.

When the time comes, they'll fight like dogs, and who will have time to care about this lowly soldier who's already left the company?

Even if Vice President Li were to shift the blame onto Lin Ran, that would be simple.

Just let Lin Ran sell him out.

Anyway, he's already packed his bags and left. The sky's the limit. Where are they going to find a former employee who's canceled all contact information?

Lu Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He's not some saint; what others think is none of his business.

He only wanted peace of mind.

With that thought in mind, Lu Hao no longer hesitated, plopped down in front of the computer, and pressed the power button.

The screen lit up, its soft blue light reflecting on his face and revealing the complex and unfathomable emotions in his eyes.

He opened the project proposal, which was already mostly completed, and looked at the dense text and charts on it, and for a moment he found it somewhat laughable.

Now, however, he has to personally refine this "joke" and then submit it.

Consider this... a final farewell gift.

Lu Hao took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to type rapidly on the keyboard.

"Crackling and popping..."

He was completely immersed in it, pouring all his emotions and calculations into the final period of the plan.

After an unknown amount of time, a pale dawn appeared on the horizon outside the window.

Lu Hao typed the last word and pressed the save button.

He leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

I hadn't slept all night, and my body was extremely exhausted, but my mind was unusually clear.

finished.

The favors have been repaid.

From this day forward, he will have no further connection with this company or with Lin Ran.

And he and Xiao Xiyue...

There will be no further connection between us.

No, in fact, this city has nothing to do with him anymore.

……

The following day, Yunyou Company.

Lu Hao knocked on Lin Ran's office door.

"Please come in." A cool female voice came from inside.

Lu Hao pushed open the door and entered; the office was filled with a faint scent of perfume.

He walked straight to the sofa in the reception area and casually tossed his resignation letter onto the coffee table.

He sat on the sofa and looked up at Lin Ran behind the desk.

"Manager Lin, I've sent the proposal to your email. Please take a look." Lu Hao's voice was a little hoarse. After a pause, he pointed to the paper on the coffee table. "Also, this is my resignation letter."

Lin Ran was looking down at the documents when his hand holding the pen paused slightly.

She suddenly looked up, her face showing surprise, then her gaze fell on the resignation letter, and her brows furrowed.

"What?"

She suddenly stood up from her office chair, her chest swaying slightly from the large movement.

Lu Hao's gaze lingered for a fraction of a second before he casually looked away.

Lin Ran walked around the desk, quickly walked up to him in her high heels, and stared down at him.

"Lu Hao, say it again? Resign?" Her voice was filled with shock and anger. "Why?"

Lu Hao leaned back on the sofa, forced a tired smile, and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to go out for a walk to clear my head."

"Rest if you're tired!" Lin Ran sat down beside him. "I'll give you a month-long paid vacation. You can travel anywhere you want, the company will reimburse you. And don't mention quitting again!"

One month of paid leave, reimbursed by the company?

This kind of treatment would make anyone else ecstatic.

Lu Hao could only chuckle wryly. He shook his head, met Lin Ran's puzzled and concerned eyes, and said earnestly, "Beautiful Lin, thank you for your kindness. But I'm definitely resigning from this position."

Lin Ran's chest heaved, clearly indicating that he was quite angry.

She stared at Lu Hao for a long time, trying to find any trace of joking on his face, but all she saw was determination.

She deflated, and asked helplessly, "Is it really necessary to leave? Even Jesus couldn't stop you?"

"I can't keep him," Lu Hao answered decisively.

Lin Ran let out a long sigh, his expression somber.

She leaned back on the sofa, radiating a sense of helplessness: "Fine, once you've made up your mind, nothing can change it. But I'm telling you, if you ever want to come back, you're welcome anytime."

Seeing her gloomy face, Lu Hao couldn't help but tease her, "Which place welcomes me back?"

Lin Ran was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.

She gracefully tossed her long hair, turned to the side, and looked at Lu Hao with allure, her breath sweet as orchids: "Everywhere I go, you're welcome to come back."

Lu Hao also laughed, but his smile was tinged with complexity and reluctance.

After graduation, he worked for only a few companies, with Yunyou being the one he stayed with the longest.

For no other reason than that he had a female boss, Lin Ran, who understood him, tolerated him, and even occasionally told him dirty jokes.

Now that I'm really leaving, I'm actually a little reluctant to go.

But he knew in his heart that he had violated the biggest taboo in the industry.

The truth will eventually come out; Yunlan Clothing will find out sooner or later.

He had no face to stay any longer, and he couldn't drag Lin Ran down with him.

After leaving Lin Ran's office, Lu Hao went straight to the Human Resources Department.

In less than half a day, he became a free man with no further connection to the travel company.

As I stepped out of the elevator carrying a cardboard box containing my personal belongings, a figure rushed towards me in a great hurry.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! Are you really leaving?" Li Xu looked heartbroken, like a little wife who had been abandoned.

Lu Hao put the box on the ground, took out a cigarette, lit it, and glanced at him: "What, did I run off with the money the company gave you for your future wife?"

"No, Brother Lu!"

Li Xu looked miserable. "After you leave, who's going to help me pick up girls? Who's going to go to the bar with me?"

"Alright, all good things must come to an end. Stop crying like a woman." Lu Hao patted his shoulder and stuffed the remaining half pack of cigarettes into his pocket.

Li Xu's eyes were a little red. He followed Lu Hao reluctantly all the way to the company building.

"Brother Lu, we... will meet again, right?" Li Xu asked softly as he stood at the bustling entrance.

Lu Hao stopped and looked back at his little brother who was following him around like a shadow. He stroked his chin and suddenly smiled.

He turned around, didn't answer, and just started walking forward.

A gentle voice, carried by the afternoon breeze, drifted into Li Xu's ears.

"Today's farewell is for a better reunion tomorrow."
