Chapter 12 Dissolved Ties
I shook my head without any ripple in my eyes.
I wouldn't believe his words anymore.
"You've used up the six draw chances, and you took back the engagement necklace long ago.
"Our engagement was canceled ages ago. Who I marry from now on has nothing to do with you."
But he refused to believe and even cleverly made excuses.
"Li Xia, is it because the east city project isn't settled? No problem, I don't want that project!
"Come back to the company tomorrow, resume as project manager. Okay?"
His words barely fell when Zhou Qingyan beside him grabbed his arm and threw a tantrum.
"Zhou Linchen, no! I won't let her return. If you agree, I'll go abroad and never come back."
Zhou Linchen got scared and lost his earlier firmness.
He turned to coax Zhou Qingyan softly.
I couldn't be bothered to watch their drama.
I turned and got into the Xu family luxury car waiting outside.
But for two days straight, I didn't return to the company.
On the third day, Zhou Linchen couldn't hold back and came downstairs to find me.
But my office was empty, nothing left.
He hurriedly asked the HR manager.
"President, Assistant Li handled resignation procedures seven days ago. The approval finished yesterday."
Zhou Linchen froze there.
It took him a while to react.
"Impossible! Who approved her resignation!"
The HR manager was prepared.
He handed over my resignation application.
It bore his own signature, dated exactly seven days ago.
He didn't shift his gaze for a long time.
After a while, he recalled what happened.
Seven days ago, he appointed Zhou Qingyan as project manager.
I burst into his office, then gave him several agreements to sign.
He didn't look closely and signed them all casually.
Thinking of this, he stormed to my home angrily.
"Li Xia, you dared to trick me into resigning secretly!"
