"Look, you've calmed down after a night, right?" Seeing Wei Chun's introspection, Zuo Yunshan thought it didn't matter anymore and asked, "What time do you take the flight?"
"what time is it now?"
"8:20."
"I can't make it at 9 o'clock." Wei Chun said calmly.
"No reservation?"
"There are many flights to Nanguang."
"It's time to go to work, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you go after noon."
“When you work longer hours, you feel freer when you go to work.”
"As long as your work is not delayed...ah!"
Wei Chun seemed to suddenly remember something, and then said, That's right! Today is editorial meeting day.
Wei Chun glanced at the watch on the edge of the table. Zuo Yunshan looked at Wei Chun. Feeling that there was still a change in her heart, she smoked silently. It's better not to interrupt randomly, because it may have irritated her and aroused her rebellious attitude, which is difficult to deal with.
Wei Chun twisted his body, scratched his hair with his hands irritably and said, "Oh, I really hate going to work."
"Why? Don't you like your current job very much?" Zuo Yunshan asked loudly from the side.
"It's not that I hate my current job. As a woman's job, although it's not the best, it's not bad either. It's just that I don't have the freedom to do anything. It's really annoying."
"There's nothing you can do about it. You're working! The salary is very high, right? No other place can offer such a high salary. You are single now, how rich your life is!"
This is the truth. Wei Chun rents a high-end apartment. The room is gorgeously decorated and he is very well-dressed. He often goes to high-end restaurants. It can be said that she liked that kind of atmosphere before she got involved with Zuo Yunshan.
Although Zuo Yunshan filled the emptiness in her heart, her egoism remained unchanged, manifesting as stubborn willfulness in front of him, making Zuo Yunshan must obey her own opinions.
She has always been accustomed to unconventional egoism in life, so her willfulness is a bit excessive. Since the other person was young, she was more willful, and she also had a sense of favor that an egoist often has in her mind. She felt that it was the benefits she gave him that made him what he is today. In addition, her selfish heart also contains xenophobia with strong jealousy around Zuo Yunshan.
“When I go to work, there are many things I don’t like and I don’t feel free,” Wei Chun said.
"Yes, it's like this everywhere." Zuo Yunshan said as if he knew everything about accidents.
"Oh, if it were other jobs, you could just say yes to what your boss ordered, but that's not the case with my job. It's not enough to just unconditionally obey the editor-in-chief's intentions. You have to fully express your opinions and also You have to stick to your own point of view... The previous editor-in-chief understood me very well, but now this editor-in-chief thinks I am a thorn in my side. But it’s okay to hate me."
"So you can't make the editor-in-chief angry?"
What he meant was that he should return to Nanguang honestly today.
"I want to resign." Wei Chun shouted.
"What? What will you do after you resign?"
Zuo Yunshan was shocked, thinking that she might say, let's live together.
"I want to go it alone."
"If you work alone, you may be able to get twice as much remuneration soon as you are now. Nowadays, some reports are written by people outside the magazine. There are not many people who can write decent articles. I can get high remuneration by revising the manuscript. With the same material, I can write beautiful articles from a more interesting perspective.”
"Your writing skills are indeed very strong."
"I have confidence. Moreover, I have been an editor for many years and know many people. You also know that I have a lot of face. Let's talk about Tengwei. She is the most picky about people. Ordinary reporters don't want to get close to her. She and I are close friends, other celebrities, famous writers, critics, I am the one who compiles manuscripts in places where entry is difficult."
She felt proud of her wide network of contacts during her long career at the magazine.
"I know almost all the officials and upper-level people from other publishing houses. In the past, they often used roundabout ways to persuade me to work for them. That would be a disservice to the current magazine, so I didn't agree. ...But That’s fine, if the company is dissatisfied with my work, then you can’t blame me.”
"Resign?"
"It depends on the situation. Anyway, I have done enough. I am always given endless tasks. After resigning, I will not go to other publishing houses, no matter how they persuade me."
The melancholy look in Wei Chun's eyes just now disappeared, and there was a look of hope. The joy of handing in her resignation to the company, the joy of putting her talents to use after starting her own business, the joy of constantly gaining freedom, respect and high income - probably because she saw these futures of her own, her eyes were so excited that she couldn't hold back I couldn't help but feel excited inside.
Wei Chun finally said that he would return to Nanguang as planned today. Unauthorized absence is still not good.
However, she couldn't worry about Zuo Yunshan who would stay out of town for two days.
"Are you really going to a beautician convention?"
"How could I lie? If you don't believe me, ask Yanagita..."
"Didn't I say that I don't believe Yanagita? Well, I will investigate later."
She couldn't find out through her investigation. There is no way to check the group of beauticians. However, Zuo Yunshan couldn't help but feel disappointed when he thought that the two carefully arranged days would be wasted on accompanying Ye Ya.
After letting Wei Chun board the 11 o'clock flight, Zuo Yunshan felt a stone fall in his heart, as if he felt that the storm of the past two days had finally passed.
He sat on a chair in the hall, staring blankly at the figure moving in front of him. People are busy and conversing attentively, creating a vibrant scene of life and work. Originally, he should have merged into this crowd, but now he has become an outsider detached from this world, as if the air around him has settled.
Wei Chun and Ye Ya are really a headache. He is tied between them and has not cut off his relationship with them, and he cannot cut it off now. He is bound to a relationship that is neither love, nor sexual desire, nor affection between a man and a woman, partly to gain a favorable position, and partly for money. It is not difficult to sever this relationship, and a new one has not yet emerged. Especially Ye Ya, she is no longer willing to invest any more, and being pestered by her is just a matter of dealing with the aftermath.
However, after much deliberation, there was no other way. Work hard, there are already good signs, cherish this good luck, and things will turn around if you persist a little longer——
Zuo Yunshan called Yanagida.
"Good morning!" Yanagita greeted him as if waiting for a place.
"Did you get a call?"
"Here you go, the call came from the hot spring hotel around 8 o'clock, just once."
"just one time?"
Something unexpected happened. He estimated that Ye Ya would call Yanagita frequently from this morning on.
"Yeah, she said, don't call the hot spring hotel before she calls."
Something must have happened to Ye Ya.
