Chapter 63 - 62: Voluntary Resignation (Part 2)
Nanrong Wanqing looked at him in astonishment: "You want to resign?"
When Ling Chen initially stayed on thick-skinned, she had never thought that he would take the initiative to resign. So when the resignation report was placed in front of her, even her normally tranquil heart couldn’t help but ripple with surprise.
"Chairwoman, in our line of work, trust is paramount. It is the foundation of all collaboration. Since you cannot trust me, there is no point in me staying. Your safety should be left to those whom you deem trustworthy. Your grandfather once said that no one could fire me unless I chose to resign by myself. I know you and Miss Su don’t like me and want me gone. I’m not someone who can’t take a hint; why should I stay and make myself miserable? Chairwoman, here’s a piece of advice – don’t be too self-centered. Not everyone has to mollycoddle you."
Having said that, Ling Chen walked out without looking back.
Just as he said, he wasn’t someone who can’t take a hint. He shamelessly stayed back then only to earn a living for Tang Shiyun, and there is no need for that now. He’s not someone without temper; he just suppressed it, trying to get along with the two women as much as possible. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain, and he couldn’t even gain a shred of trust.
"Ling Chen, you..."
Nanrong Wanqing wanted to stand up and call Ling Chen back, but she quickly realized that her legs wouldn’t move. Moreover, Ling Chen ignored her call and she could only watch helplessly as he left.
This damn guy!
For the first time in her life, Nanrong Wanqing felt both anger and distress. She knew that it was her careless remark that had hurt Ling Chen and prompted him to make such a decision.
But as she watched Ling Chen disappear through the doorway, her lips parted slightly, not knowing what to say or how to make amends. Should she apologize first? From a young age, she’d never admitted wrongdoing to anyone because everyone revolved around her and held her in the palm of their hands. In the world she lived in, she was the center. So often, she reveled in that superior feeling, nobody ever criticized her, not even her grandfather had ever spoken to her harshly, with the exception of Ling Chen.
