Chapter 175 - 177: Resignation Report_1
Director Tong was reluctant to let go of his skilled employee, whom he had never seen the likes of in nearly twenty years of work. Not only could Li Qiao excel at her own duties, but she was also more than capable in the printing room, effectively doing the work of three people. Where could he find such talent once she left? "The new case hasn’t taken shape yet, how can you leave?"
Li Qiao, "Isn’t Director Xun coming back soon?"
"But hasn’t he not returned yet?"
"Then I must leave too, unless you’d like to visit my home and discuss with my partner about me staying?" Li Qiao seamlessly steered the conversation to the main topic.
Director Tong was aware that Li Qiao had married a well-known loser in the area. He figured the loser might be urging her to quit her job so she wouldn’t miss out on college. "Okay, I’ll visit your home tomorrow. How do I get there?"
Li Qiao secretly smirked and gave him the address of the courtyard house.
The next day, she went shopping early to prepare the meal. Around ten o’clock, Director Tong arrived with his own alcohol.
Li Qiao smiled and said, "Director Tong, welcome. We have alcohol at home."
Qin Jin, "Director Tong’s alcohol seems to be homemade, probably tastes better and he must want us to try it."
"That’s right!" Director Tong took another look at Qin Jin, impressed by the young man’s discernment; even if stored in a proper bottle, his homemade wine was still recognized: "My wife brewed it."
Li Qiao thought to herself, home-brewed, hopefully, it won’t be poisonous?
