"President Jiang, this is my resignation report." Chang Qin said calmly.

Jiang Lida didn't answer, but put his fingers together, put his elbows on the desk, and looked at the other party with a half-smile.

"Can you give me a reason?" After a while, he said slowly.

"The matter has come to this, do you still need me to give you a reason?" Chang Qin asked without answering, his face tense.

"You are suspecting that I posted that photo to the company group, aren't you?" Jiang Lida said calmly, shooting a strange light from the corner of his eyes.

"President Jiang." Chang Qin raised the corners of his lips, stepped forward in two or three steps, put his palms on the desk, bent down slightly, and met the other's eyes, "I didn't expose you at the meeting this morning. You save face, now, there are only two of us left in this office, there are some things, you don't have to pretend to me anymore.

"Only you showed me that photo. I doubt it. You are the first to bear the brunt. And coincidentally, the people from the procuratorate just came to search the company last night, and the photo was left in the group early this morning. If it weren't for you It's really hard for me to think that there is a second person who would do such a thing."

Jiang Lida coughed lightly, looked away, and said softly: "Even if it's me, I have no choice but to."

Chang Qin squinted his eyes, his eyes were like two sharp knives and shovels, digging deep into each other's heart: "Back then, you and Zhang Mingyuan planned to frame Lawyer Xi's father, and you had no choice but to do so?"

Jiang Lida suddenly raised his head and looked at Chang Qin, panic was written in his rolling eyes, and he muttered, "You, how do you know?"

"How do I know it's not important, what's important is, have you ever done it?" Chang Qin asked sharply.

Jiang Lida looked a little timid, his thin lips parted again and again, but he didn't say a word.

"Is there?" Chang Qin exhausted all his patience, couldn't help raising his voice, and his eyes were flushed.

At this time, the secretary who had been sitting outside the office heard the commotion inside, knocked on the door hurriedly and poked his head in. A pair of bright eyes flickered between the two of them in turn, and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what's the matter?" Is it?"

Jiang Lida waved his hands, and said a little tiredly: "It's none of your business, go out and close the door."

Miss Secretary nodded, and backed out suspiciously.

After the secretary left, Jiang Lida pinched the space between his eyebrows with his thumb and forefinger, and said helplessly, "Chang Qin, I admit what happened back then. I really felt sorry for Lawyer Xi."

"Except for that incident back then, didn't you ever have a clear conscience towards Lawyer Xi when it came to the cultural village project?" Chang Qin slowly clenched his hands on the table into fists, and continued to press the question unhurriedly.

"Try every means to exclude him from the list of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, frame him for falsifying his academic qualifications, and make him unable to continue working in the firm. Don't tell me, these things have nothing to do with you, Mr. Jiang." Chang Chin gritted his teeth and said.

Jiang Lida raised his head, looked directly into the other person's eyes, and said righteously: "Chang Qin, I can assure you that these things have nothing to do with me, they are all done by Zhang Mingyuan."

"Then, does it have nothing to do with you to sign the contract?" Chang Qin raised his middle finger and tapped on the table.

Jiang Lida sighed, and said disheartenedly: "Chang Qin, do you have a conscience? You ask yourself, how have I treated you all these years? Ever since you were promoted to the chief designer, which time have I not fought for you?" project, but today, you questioned me like this for an outsider, and even broke with me!"

"I really have infinite gratitude to you, so I plan to wait for the completion of the hotel project of the Ye Group before resigning with you. Mr. Jiang, I have been grateful for your love for so many years. I don't want to tear myself apart with you, and I didn't expose you to embarrass you at the meeting this morning. Everything I did was because you mentioned me, and I am grateful, but," Chang Qin took a deep breath and said with infinite melancholy Said, "However, I am very, very disappointed in your behavior.

"I didn't expect that you, who have always been lofty in my heart, would be like those corrupt officials who are only interested in profit. For the sake of immediate interests, you don't care about the lives of others. You think I'm breaking up with you because of an outsider, let alone Lawyer Xi is more important than anything else to me. Even if I don't disclose my relationship with Lawyer Xi today, we are just ordinary friends, and I can't bear it. My boss, the leader I trust the most, would actually So filthy!

"To tell you the truth, I have reached a cooperation with Ye Shizhao in my personal name for the project of the Ye Group. That is to say, I can leave the company with the project at any time. You can't think of it, I have already reserved it for myself. You Whether you agree or not, I can't stay in this position for a minute."

Chang Qin articulated the last word clearly, pushed the resignation letter in front of Jiang Lida, paused, and continued in a slightly gentle tone: "I am very grateful for your care for me for so many years, thank you Mr. Jiang, goodbye."

It wasn't until Chang Qin closed the door and completely disappeared outside that Jiang Lida raised his head and stared blankly at the closed door with complicated expressions in his eyes.

After coming out of Jiang Lida's office, Chang Qin returned to his desk non-stop to sort out his things, savoring the bitterness in his heart while tidying up.

This place, since he graduated from university, has never left. This is his first job. He has dedicated most of his youth here. This company, whether it is big or small, has given it to him Too much laughter and heartache. For so many years, it's not like he didn't think that he would really leave one day, but after much deliberation, he never thought that in the end, he would leave in such an extreme way.

Chang Qin's resignation was very low-key. When he returned to the office and closed the door, only a few assistants in his team knew that the big cubicle was gloomy. No matter how Qin comforted her, it was useless.

"Director Chang, hiccup." She said intermittently, and hiccupped after saying a word, "How are we going to live with you now?"

Chang Qin couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why can't I pass? When I leave, a new designer will soon replace me. Then you follow him, and some of you are busy."

"That's not what I meant, hiccup." Zhou Xiaoni wiped her tears and continued, "The only good-looking people in our group have left. From now on, I really don't have much hope for going to work..."

Chang Qin: "..."

He curled up his fingers, and tapped lightly on the smooth forehead of the other party: "I said, you go to work to see the handsome guy. If you don't do your work seriously, you just spend all day thinking about it."

"I didn't!" Zhou Xiaoni retorted, "Hi, I didn't try my best to complete the work you gave me. It makes me sad when you say that about me."

Chang Qin laughed, looked at Zhang Yan helplessly, turned to comfort Zhou Xiaoni and said, "Okay, okay, since you don't want me so much, then wait until my company gets on the right track, you Come and be my assistant, okay?"

"Are you serious?" Zhou Xiaoni suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a crystal drop of water hanging from the corner of her eyes, she looked at him in disbelief.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Chang Qin said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, as long as Director Chang needs me, I will not hesitate to do so." Zhou Xiaoni smiled through tears, and quickly raised her watch to make up her mind.

Chang Qin smiled and patted her on the shoulder, looked at Zhang Yan and the assistants behind him, and continued, "To be honest, I really miss you guys, but I can't poach you all out of selfishness. Apart from the fact that the company is in urgent need of people, you should also go your own way, you can't live under my protection for the rest of your life, and be an assistant forever, this is not a solution after all."

As he spoke, he took out a few business cards from the business card holder he carried and distributed them to the team members one by one, then closed the cover with a "click", and put the small silver clip back into his jacket pocket in a handsome manner, saying : "This is my new business card with my company's address on it. If you are interested in my new company, please feel free to come to me."

After Chang Qin finished speaking, he showed a gentle smile to everyone, picked up the packed glove box, and walked out of the company humming a little tune.

The rest of the team members looked down at the business cards in their hands, and saw a few large characters clearly printed on the highly designed page: Chang Qin, Design Director of F&C Architectural Design Firm.

It was only then that everyone realized that Chang Qin's resignation was not a whim. He had planned for a long time to get to this point. F&C was taken from the initials of Fu Shengyu and Chang Qin's surname. Two joint ventures, Chang Qin is in charge of architectural design, and Fu Shengyu is in charge of interior design. Since Fu Shengyu is the main contributor, his name is on the front and Chang Qin's is on the back. Said, is not the point.

The point is that they have already started their own dreams, and the next step is to move towards this common dream and step by step towards glory.

What Chang Qin said is correct. It is very scary to be content with the status quo and be a frog in the bottom of the well forever. Starting a company is hard work, and you have to face many unexpected difficulties. It is not like being a small employee in "Dawn" However, after all, this is his own career. From the moment he left "Dawn", every step he takes since then is to fight for himself.

Fu Shengyu chose the company's address in an office building located on the Fourth Ring Road. Because the company has just started and there are not many employees, the office area is not large. The warm sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, sprinkled on the carpet, and warmed the entire office, making people feel full of life just looking at it.Fu Shengyu is a man who loves to enjoy himself. Even in the office space, he is extremely particular about the quality of life. Although the company is small, it has all the internal organs. In addition to the necessary office space, there are tea rooms, lounges, and gymnasiums. From the back of the company Going out the side door, there is a spacious terrace. Fu Shengyu bought two rocking chairs and placed them in the center of the terrace, and matched them with an exquisite small coffee table. When you have nothing to do, you can lie on them, drink tea, and read something. Reading books, looking at the pleasant scenery around, and occasionally taking a short nap in the warm sunshine are all extremely enjoyable.

Combining work and rest, Chang Qin had never dared to rest so presumptuously. "You Hong Kong people really know how to play." Chang Qinchao Fu Shengyu joked.

Chang Qin was busy with the project of the Ye Group, so the first order of F&C Company was a big project. Within a few days, the news that Chang Qin resigned from "Chenxi" and set up his own business spread like wildfire. The village project and the popularity accumulated in the cross-strait and four-region architectural competitions, together with Fu Shengyu, a well-known Hong Kong interior design master, this combination can be regarded as a perfect match. There are an endless stream of developers who come to them for cooperation. The office, which was not very big for a while, was overcrowded, which made the two of them burnt out, and they were as busy as dogs every day.

That night, Chang Qin worked too much overtime and accidentally forgot the time. By the time he realized it, it was already past meal time, and his stomach was growling with hunger.Fu Shengyu hadn't come back since he went to the construction site in the afternoon. Without him as a pillar in the company, all affairs, large and small, were on Chang Qin's head alone. He was so tired that he was dizzy and dizzy. Bo customers, Chang Qin turned off the computer, clutched his empty stomach, and moved to the parking lot in pain.

While driving, he searched for nearby restaurants, thinking that he was alone, just find a fast food restaurant to pack and order food and go home to deal with it. He was looking around when he suddenly saw an elegant restaurant on the street, by the window. Beside his seat, Vincent's familiar figure was clearly reflected. Sitting opposite him was a foreign woman with blond hair and white skin. Chang Qin couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but only vaguely felt that she was thin and thin, with three-dimensional features , relying on the impression left by this hasty glance, guess that the woman sitting opposite Vincent should not be bad looking.

Chang Qin chuckled secretly, feeling worthless for Fu Shengyu, so he hesitated for a while, decided to find an empty space to park the car, and went in to say hello to Vincent himself. After he parked the car and walked into the restaurant, he happened to see the blonde The blue-eyed foreign girl got up and walked to Vincent, put a sweet kiss on the other's cheek, then smiled and waved at him. Vincent said goodbye to him with a decent smile. Chang Qin passed by at the entrance of the restaurant, and the foreign girl gave Chang Qin a sweet smile very generously, leaving a strong smell of perfume in the air.

Indeed, as Chang Qin expected, this girl was outstanding, with big and round eyes, long eyelashes flickering, coupled with her almost transparent white skin, she looked like a cute doll, with a smile on the corner of Chang Qin's mouth, He walked up to Vincent in two or three steps, patted the dining table and said, "Young master Ye, you have a lot of good fortune."

Vincent raised his head, only to find him, and shouted in extreme surprise: "Why did you appear here?"

Chang Qin unceremoniously sat down in the seat where the foreign girl was sitting just now, looked around, and said unexpectedly: "It's really rare, I didn't see you and Xi Ling together today."

Vincent hooked the corners of his lips, and his smile looked very forced: "Director Chang, don't get me wrong. Apart from working hours, I seldom get together with Xi Ling. The last time I met you in the hotel was because I was going to Looking at my father, it happened that Xi Ling had several documents in his hand that needed my father's signature, so we made an appointment together."

Chang Qin waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not such an unenlightened partner, besides," he cleared his throat, his face suddenly mixed with half bitterness, "I have already broken up with Xi Ling."

"What?" Vincent was drinking water, and was suddenly choked, "Are you two arguing too frequently? My aunt comes here only once a month. It's better for you to eat the breakup."

Chang Qin frowned contemptuously, and complained, "How do you talk?"

Vincent put down his water glass, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said earnestly: "I didn't mean you, man, what can't save face, a few words, you condescend to please him, Xi Ling Impossible to be ungrateful."

Chang Qin couldn't help laughing: "Hearing you say that, I feel more at ease, because you don't understand Xi Ling at all."

Vincent rolled his eyes at him, curled his lips: "I don't understand, Lawyer Xi is so autistic, and usually keeps things in his heart, so even if I want to know, there is no way."

Chang Qin smiled and said nothing, agreeing with Vincent's statement in his heart.

"Hey, Director Chang, haven't you eaten yet?" Vincent noticed that the other party's complexion was not good, and asked worriedly.

Chang Qin nodded: "Fu Shengyu and I's company has just been established, and every day is like running a club. The marble countertop at the entrance of the company is almost broken, and I'm so busy that I'm about to vomit blood. No, I just got off work. I was going to find a fast food restaurant to settle it casually, but I caught you flirting with a foreign girl by such a coincidence." Chang Qin raised his index finger and pointed at Vincent meaningfully.

Vincent pushed away the other party's slender fingers, and first ordered a few fried dishes for him. After the waiter put away the menu and left, he leaned back on the chair and explained with a bitter face: "Director Chang, you are really wronged." I’m sorry, it’s the first time I’ve seen that foreign girl just now, I don’t even know her name, I sat here obediently to eat alone, she came out of nowhere, and sat across from me in a daze She chatted with me for an hour, and she still didn't leave after I finished my meal, and finally answered the phone with great difficulty, saying that there was something urgent before she left."

"Since Xi Ling rescued me from the bar a few years ago, I don't dare to hook up with strange women outside casually." Seeing Chang Qin just bowed his head and smiled without speaking, Vincent hastily added.

Chang Qin looked up at him with a surprised expression: "What did you say? Why did Xi Ling rescue you?"

"What? Didn't Xi Ling tell you?" Vincent shook the glass in his hand, raised one eyebrow and asked.

Chang Qin shook his head: "No."

Vincent shook his head and smiled: "It's really Xi Ling, who never likes to gossip in front of others." He looked at Chang Qin and asked solemnly, "Aren't you curious why I have such a good relationship with Xi Ling? You also Knowing about Xi Ling, he is usually dull and rarely makes any close friends."

Chang Qin turned his head and thought for a while, and found that he had never been curious about the relationship between Xi Ling and Vincent.

"The first time I met Xi Ling was in my grandfather's restaurant." Without waiting for Chang Qin to answer, Vincent continued, "At that time, he was sitting alone at a table in the corner. He was in a bad mood. He drooped his head the whole time, picking up the pasta on the plate. An entire hour passed, but the food in front of him was not missing much. It was already late at that time, and there were no customers in the restaurant. I was Sitting behind the cash register to collect money for my grandfather, I was bored, so I kept staring at Xi Ling's back. I have never been interested in men, but I have to admit that when Xi Ling appeared in the restaurant, he asked the waiter to replace him. When he ordered, I was really amazed by his outstanding appearance for a while."

Vincent sneaked a glance at Chang Qin, seeing that he didn't show any displeasure, so he said with confidence, "It's also thanks to the fact that I was so busy that night and kept paying attention to Xi Ling, that I caught a little thief." , sneaked up to Xi Ling's side, took out the wallet from his trouser pocket two or three times, quickly stuffed it into his own pocket, and then walked out of the restaurant as if nothing had happened. At the bottom of my eyes, without even thinking about it, I jumped out of the cash register with my hands together, and shouted 'catch the thief'. The little thief was probably a habitual offender. The legs were long enough, and I chased Xi Ling's wallet back for three streets. When I panted heavily and returned the wallet to Xi Ling, he didn't show the excited expression of finding it again, but said lightly. In other words, the thief tried his best to grab some wallet, and I don't have much money in my wallet.

"I was wondering about his answer, but he suddenly raised his head and looked me up and down. Seeing that I was wearing a white chef's uniform, he thought that I was a student studying in the UK. He was working and studying in this restaurant, so he begged me to It is not possible to introduce him to the owner of this restaurant and provide him with a lucrative position.

"After listening to his prayer, I smiled briskly, patted his skinny body proudly, and told him that the owner of this restaurant is my grandfather. If he wants to work here, he doesn't need my grandfather's consent at all. It can be done with one sentence, and he can choose the position.

"Xi Ling was naturally very happy to hear me say that, and couldn't help showing the first smile I've seen since I saw him. Although Xi Ling usually has a sullen face, he is quite childish when he smiles. He originally proposed Do some heavy work and earn a lot of money this way. I couldn’t bear to see that his small body looked so fragile, so I arranged for him to work as a cashier. It happened that we were short of a cashier at the time, otherwise I wouldn’t be there after work that day. I also had to help with the cash register, and at that time I selfishly gave him a few hundred extra pounds a month, but he didn’t know it at all, and I haven’t told him this secret until now.”

Vincent lowered his head and smiled, and said: "It was only later that I found out that the reason why Xi Ling wanted to work in the restaurant was because his family went bankrupt, and the little inheritance left by his father couldn't even last half a semester. With the little salary he earns, it is still difficult for him to support himself. As for Xi Ling, you know that no matter how difficult it is, he would rather grit his teeth and endure it than condescend to ask others for help. I don't know him. How is he allocated between studies and work? It depends on how he goes to class on time every day, works in the restaurant after class, and goes to the flea market to help people look after the stalls after work. I have suspected several times that he is It's not that you don't need to sleep at all.

"Of course, people are fleshy, and no matter how hard their bodies are, they can't support such a toss. Apart from cashiers in restaurants, Xi Ling also occasionally helps serve dishes. One day he was so tired that he brought out a bowl of food. When making soup, I accidentally knocked over the soup on the table. There were two Indians at the table with a very hot temper. Seeing that some soup was spilled, one of the burly men raised his hand and shook Xi Ling viciously. I slapped him across the face and kept swearing in blunt English. I was helping in the kitchen at that time. When I heard the noise outside, I took off my apron and ran out. Xi Ling lowered her head and let the black man He has fair skin, and after being slapped so hard, a red five-fingerprint soon left on his cheek. I was about to scold Xi Ling for being so careless, but the back of his left hand was red. It was all in one piece, my hands were swollen from the heat, and there was no drop of soup on the two Indians. I immediately got angry and grabbed the front of the shirt of the Indian and punched him in the face. That man is very strong, so I guess he usually does a lot of exercise, but I'm not someone to be trifled with. I've practiced basketball professionally since I was in elementary school, and my jumping and arm strength are amazing. Although that man has great strength, but in terms of flexibility, He couldn't compare to me at all, but after two or three hits, I pressed him on the floor and beat him up. I beat him harder and harder, until his nose bleeds all over the floor. His companion couldn't stand it anymore, so he called the policeman. We were separated, and I was dragged into the police station for a whole night. If it wasn’t for my father, I wouldn’t be able to get out for half a month.” Vincent paused and said, “However, I have never regretted it. .”

Vincent raised his head and looked directly into Chang Qin's deep eyes: "Since that incident, Xi Ling has obviously gotten closer to me. He used to work in a restaurant, and when he saw me, he was always respectful, except for the daily necessary greetings. , almost never say a word to me, I am a person who likes to make friends by nature, and I have known him for more than half a year, but I still feel like a stranger, which really makes me have a strong curiosity, wanting to explore his inner world, thinking Become good buddies with him, and this wish finally came true after I made a head start for him.

"However, I just said that I don't regret it, not only because Xi Ling regarded me as a friend from now on, but also because, after that time, he really saved my life, which I will remember forever."
