After the divorce, my ex-wife's sister collapsed.
As soon as the thought emerged, it was immediately dismissed by Jiang Wan. "No! That's impossible!" "There's no connection between Li Ziheng and Yunhai, how could Yunhai cancel the collaboration just because Li Ziheng and I are getting a divorce?" Thinking this way, Jiang Wan couldn't help but speculate. Speculating about who exactly that person of utmost importance to Yunhai was. Just then, the HR manager also came looking for her. "General Manager, it's terrible news, the chief engineer of the Pharmaceutical Research and Development Department has submitted a resignation application!" The HR manager explained anxiously: "Our company's new drug still has some flaws, and the in-depth research and optimization project has only reached halfway. Without her, the project can't continue!" Two pieces of bad news in a row left Jiang Wan completely stunned. Since she joined Jiang's Corporation and took on the position of General Manager, everything had been smooth sailing. A situation like today's was a first for her. Her mind was in a daze. For a moment, she was at a loss. Catching a glimpse from the corner of her eye of Cheng Hao, who was still sitting on the sofa in her office, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, and she asked with a hopeful voice, "Cheng Hao, do you have any suggestions?" "With your extensive network and numerous connections, you must have a way to help me, right?"
Upon hearing these two pieces of news, Cheng Hao was also shocked and looked incredulous. Without Yunhai's cooperation, Jiang's company would only lose a significant portion of its profits, but without that outstanding pharmaceutical research and development engineer, it would be like losing its core competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry! For a company to develop without its core competitiveness is nothing short of a pipe dream. However, facing Jiang Wan's pleading and expectant eyes, Cheng Hao dared not say he had no solution. Therefore, Cheng Hao pretended to be calm and said with a deeply furrowed brow, 'Wan'er, don't worry for now. These two matters have come too suddenly, I need some time to process them. But rest assured, I will definitely think of a way to help you!' As Cheng Hao spoke, he thought to himself: I only said I would think of a way to help you, but I didn't guarantee I could solve your problem. If it really can't be solved later on, you can't blame me. 'Yes, I trust your ability! After all, with your extensive network, you will surely be able to find a replacement for Yunhai's cooperation!'
Jiang Wan's nervous mood had somewhat subsided. As for the pharmaceutical research and development engineer who intended to resign, she decided to meet with her personally and have a good talk. Resignation, after all, was nothing more than dissatisfaction with salary and benefits, or some other reason. As long as the other party raised it, she could agree and resolve it. Thinking this way, Jiang Wan gradually calmed down. After dispatching the two department managers, Jiang Wan immediately went to find the chief engineer of the R&D department who wanted to resign. She arranged to meet the person in the coffee shop downstairs from the company. ... Coffee shop. A window seat. Jiang Wan looked at the woman sitting opposite her, in her early thirties, with neat short hair and wearing glasses for myopia, and smiled. 'Sister Xu, I heard that you submitted your resignation application this afternoon. May I take the liberty to ask if your resignation is due to dissatisfaction with our company's treatment, or for some other reason?'
"Xu Jie, whose full name is Xu Yi, is a graduate student from a foreign medical university, having won numerous awards and scholarships during her studies abroad. After graduating from university, she resolutely returned to her homeland. Subsequently, she sent her resume to Jiang's company, and to this day, it has been five years. It can be said that Jiang's company is the first workplace Xu Jie joined after graduation; she is considered a veteran and a meritorious employee of Jiang's company. In Jiang Wan's view, having spent five years at Jiang's company, Xu Jie must have developed some affection for it, more or less. Putting aside the reasons for leaving, as long as Jiang Wan sincerely tries to retain her, plays the emotional card, and improves her salary and benefits, Xu Jie would probably choose to stay.
"General Manager Jiang, I know the purpose of your meeting with me, but I can tell you clearly that my decision to resign has been made after thorough consideration!" Xu Jie picked up her coffee and took a light sip, a confident smile on her face. This response immediately chilled Jiang Wan's heart.
But she still persisted, asking, "Can you tell me the specific reason?"
Xu Jie smiled and said, "General Manager Jiang, are you asking me this question as the general manager of the company, or as an ordinary friend?" "Is there a difference?" Jiang Wan was puzzled. "Of course there is!"
Xu Jie put down her coffee cup and looked steadily at Jiang Wan: "If you were asking as the general manager of my previous company, I would tell you that I have nothing to say!"
"But if you were asking as an ordinary friend, I would tell you that I never truly belonged to Jiang's company from the beginning. As for why I entered Jiang's company, you should ask the most important person by your side!"
The words of Sister Xu left Jiang Wan confused. She joined the Jiang family, but she didn't belong to the Jiang family? The answer to this question had to be asked to the most important person by her side? Cheng Hao? Did Sister Xu come to the Jiang family because of Cheng Hao? But if so, why did she resign? Could it be that Cheng Hao had a conflict with her? Thinking of this, Jiang Wan decided to have a good talk with Cheng Hao later, to ask him what exactly he had done to Sister Xu that led to her submitting her resignation. 'Miss Jiang, I have to report to the new company in a while, so I won't stay long! As a return for your treat of coffee, I can remind you to cherish the person in front of you, and not to wait until you lose them to regret!' 'That's all I have to say, Miss Jiang, goodbye!' After saying this, Sister Xu picked up her bag and got up to leave. Throughout the whole process, Sister Xu had stayed for less than five minutes. Jiang Wan wasn't stupid; she knew that Sister Xu had made a special effort to meet her. She just didn't understand. She didn't understand the relationship between Sister Xu and Cheng Hao. She was even more puzzled why Sister Xu would remind her to cherish Cheng Hao? Could it be that Cheng Hao was going to leave her? Impossible, he had clearly said today that he would always help her! How could he suddenly choose to leave her without any reason? With a heart full of doubts and confusion, Jiang Wan dialed Cheng Hao's phone. 'Cheng Hao, I'm in the coffee shop downstairs at the company, I want to talk to you about Sister Xu's resignation.' 'Wan'er, I'm sorry, there's something going on at home, I might have to take a leave to go back, can we talk about anything else when I come back?' 'Is it that urgent?'
"When are you going back? I can drive you!" "No need, no need, I'm already on my way to the airport. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself! Let's just leave it at that, my mom is calling, I've got to go." "Beep beep beep—" The call was disconnected. Jiang Wan's mood also became oppressive. She sat alone in the coffee shop for a while before getting up to drive home. As soon as she got home, she heard some rustling sounds coming from the bedroom. Curious, Jiang Wan opened the bedroom door and saw Li Ziheng squatting on the floor, neatly folding his clothes and putting them into the suitcase one by one. Seeing Li Ziheng, Jiang Wan, who was already feeling oppressed, became even more irritable. With a stern face and a cold tone, she asked, "Where are you planning to go at this late hour?" "We are already divorced, it's inappropriate to live together anymore, I will move out tonight." Li Ziheng continued to busy himself without looking back. Hearing this, Jiang Wan became even angrier. With such a big problem at the company, it was one thing that her nominal husband couldn't help, but he kept messing with her head. First, it was divorce, and now it was running away from home. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Jiang Wan simply didn't stop him, saying coldly, "Fine, then hurry up and pack your things and get out of my house!" "Oh, and remember to leave the keys when you go. I don't want any unrelated people coming into my house." After saying that, Jiang Wan turned and walked out of the room. "Bang—" The door was forcefully closed, leaving only Li Ziheng squatting on the floor, packing his suitcase.
