Chapter 004: A Series of Unfortunate Events

Wenxu still wanted to say something, but he heard the beeping sound of a busy signal on the phone; Guansiya had already hung up.

No need, Master is no longer planning to work as a programmer in the future, but intends to enjoy life and make his little days more vibrant and lively, while saying this, Wenqu smiled warmly and quickly tidied up his belongings

In contrast, Wenqu is dressed quite shabbily, wearing a gray coat over a checkered shirt, with formal trousers and leather shoes, resembling the attire of an ordinary IT professional

"No, I just arrived not long ago," Guan Siya smiled gently at Wen Xu.

Guan Siya shook her head and said, "Why don't you understand? I am breaking up with you, not asking you for the house!"

I have something to tell you. If you finish work, come to the café on the third floor of the New Era Building" After hearing Wen Xu's greeting, Guan Siya immediately spoke up rapidly.

What are these two paths? This indicates that our personalities complement each other, how wonderful... Wenqu is a bit confused; clearly, the two of them were getting along quite well, so why suddenly say they want to break up? Earning 20,000 a month, and after tax, that is certainly not a small amount, definitely qualifies as a white-collar worker. Why must one exchange a lifetime for a house?

Master, do you not need it anymore in the future

The household registration of Mingzhu is indeed impressive, as children applying to universities from there have significantly fewer competitors compared to Linjiang. Others are eager to obtain the household registration of Mingzhu, but Wenxu does not place much importance on this matter. Even those from his side, who do not have the Mingzhu registration, are still able to gain admission to universities and achieve high scores.

Today, Guan Siya is dressed in a professional suit, a typical office lady attire, with a black patent leather handbag from Prada beside her. Her hair is styled in a bun at the back of her head, giving her a remarkably capable and beautiful appearance

At this moment, Wei Yuanshan walked over and repeatedly said, "How did it come to this!"

"You must have been waiting anxiously," as soon as he entered the café, Wen Hu noticed Guan Siya waving at him, so he jogged over and sat down opposite his girlfriend. As soon as he sat down, he asked.

After driving the car out of the underground parking lot, Wenwu spent half an hour to reach a place that only takes ten minutes on foot. By the time he parked the car and arrived at the café, nearly half an hour had already passed.

After speaking, Guan Siya waved to the attendant standing aside, then elegantly took out her wallet from the small bag she carried with her, pulled out two banknotes, and pointed at the tea in front of Wenxu and her own coffee, saying: "No need for change!"

"What are you making money for? Isn't it just to live comfortably? Besides, if you spend every day cooped up in the company, treating it like home, even if you earn money, you might end up sick in old age, and the money you earned may not even be enough for medical expenses. Why bother? As long as the money is sufficient, that's all that matters..." Wen Xu said.

There is inherently not much warmth in things, and the desk is generally kept clean and tidy, making it a matter of just a few minutes to organize. Even a small box for storing items appears somewhat empty.

Guan Siya raised her hand to stop Weng Xu from continuing: "We really are not suited for each other, just like now. You love tea, while I am fond of coffee. You prefer a light and peaceful life, whereas I enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. You can casually grab a bag to carry things, but when I go out, I always want to dress in designer brands. Therefore, it is destined that we are people on two different paths"

Just like Wenqu and Guan Siya, one is tranquil and serene, not overly concerned with the gaze of others; as long as one lives comfortably, nothing else matters

But what about Wengqu? Just because someone suggested working overtime regularly, he directly rejected several companies. In Guan Siya's view, going to work is not about being a master.

Moreover, this project is already more than halfway through; even if you intend to leave, shouldn't you complete this project before doing so? Isn't it a bit ungracious to leave like this? General Manager Qi, who had just been so pleased while introducing the bearded man, now took on a somewhat earnest tone.

Brother Xu, please don't go

Guan Siya said, "There is no such thing as a personality that complements each other in this way. In short, I feel that we are not suitable for each other. You lack ambition; others may lack ambition due to their inability, but you have the ability yet show no concern for this matter at all. As long as the money you earn meets your standard for a comfortable life, you do not consider long-term matters at all..."

"Whoever is not kind knows it; if you can't stand me, just say it directly, don't engage in these trivial matters." Wen Xu, holding a box, walked around General Qi.

"It's nothing," Wen Xu smiled gently at his former boss. Wei Yuanshan treated Wen Xu quite well and was a decent person. Although he was a bit strict during work, he would occasionally invite everyone out for a meal or karaoke, which really helped to foster team spirit.

"What?" Wenqu was momentarily confused, gazing at Guan Siya with a look of astonishment

Wenqu looked out at the gray, overcast sky and thought to himself: I just started my company here and haven't even enjoyed it for an hour before my girlfriend 'fired' me. Is the heavens not allowing me to enjoy this to the fullest?

"What are you talking about? If you don't want to work overtime, then don't. Here, overtime has always been voluntary and free. There's no need to resign over this..." Although General Qi's face was red, he still needed to keep the person, at least until the project was completed before leaving. If it weren't for this large amount of work, the project would have already passed the halfway mark. Even if someone else were to take over, it would still require time, and besides, even if they were to take over, there would need to be a familiarization process.

Wenqu was a bit confused, but after thinking it over, he realized that Guan Siya's words might not be without some merit. During their university days, everyone had nothing to worry about and did not face practical issues such as housing. However, once they entered society and the reality of these issues unfolded before them, the differing attitudes of the two towards the same matter became completely apparent

I found two small notebooks in which I had recorded some key points and difficulties from my work, as well as some thoughts I had organized. I felt that I probably wouldn't need these things in the future, so I waved to Zhao Xiaoyue.

At this point, why still consider the company? That idiot Wenghu feels like a complete fool!

This world will continue to turn regardless of who is absent, so you all should work hard

Wenqu originally intended to go home, but now it has turned into a resignation, so one cannot simply carry a small bag and leave. After putting down the bag, they began to tidy up the items on the desk.

Guan Siya said once more, "Let's break up"

"The last incident was my fault, everything you said is correct. From now on, I will work hard to earn money, and we will buy a house. It's just that we shouldn't buy it right now; let's wait a bit longer as the housing prices are outrageous. Of course, if you think the price is reasonable, we can discuss it. Everything will be guided by your thoughts as the highest directive..." Wen Xu instinctively switched to an apologetic and appeasing mode, and regarding the authenticity of his words, he himself probably didn't believe it too much.

Wen Xu did not understand why they wanted to keep him, but he guessed that these guys were just thinking of taming him and did not really intend to kick him out. However, Wen Xu was no longer interested in staying. As for the current project, whoever wants to take it over can take it. You first schemed against me, and then blamed me for being ungrateful

Why, you say to buy a house...

If one lacks ability and skill, that would be one thing, but Guan Siya knows that when it comes to intelligence, Wen Hu alone is worth several of herself. However, he is unwilling to put in the effort at work, unwilling to cater to the wishes of his boss or superiors. With Wen Hu's capabilities, if he were just a little more ambitious and diligent, earning fifty thousand a month would be no problem, and thirty thousand would be easily achievable.

Thank you! Upon hearing that there was no need to search, the attendant's smile immediately grew even brighter.

Guan Siya waited for the server to bring her ordered coffee, gently stirring it with a small spoon. Without waiting for Wen Xu to finish speaking, she softly said, "Wen Xu, let's break up"

A group of young programmers immediately began to chatter excitedly among themselves

Wenqu casually walked out the door, holding a cardboard box with great swagger

"Alright, I'll be there soon!" The New Era Building is not far from this warm office location; it would only take about ten minutes to walk there.

"Here are these for you, take a good look at them. Once you understand, you will be able to earn twenty thousand a month," Wen Hu smiled as he placed two notebooks in Zhao Xiaoyue's hands.

Alright, what you just said is rather meaningless. Don't you know why I am like this? Without the tacit approval from people like you, how could this newly appointed chief engineer have the audacity to confront me on the very first day?

Hello

This smile made Wenxu feel a bit startled; one must understand that in the past, even if the two were to reconcile, it would take two or three days of not acknowledging each other, allowing oneself to feel comfortable before a good expression could be given. Yet today, upon this meeting, such a sudden change left Wenxu feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Just as he got into the car, Wenqu had just finished organizing the luggage when he heard his phone ring. Taking it out to check, he found that it was a call from Guan Siya.

Brother Xu, what shall we do now that you have left

At this moment, General Qi suddenly remembered something and immediately said to Wen Xu: "If you leave now, our company will have to send your household registration back to your place of origin"

Watching his ex-girlfriend gracefully sway her waist in her office lady attire, walking with such charm, while the Prada bag on her arm swayed in front of him, Wenqu felt a bit bewildered. He scratched his forehead and muttered to himself, "Damn, what's going on? Everything seems to be coming at me all at once!"

Wen Xu's words were quite blunt, directly piercing through President Qi's facade, leaving him in the office with a face that alternated between red and green.

Before Wen Xu could pick up the cardboard box, General Manager Qi appeared at the office door and said to Wen Xu: "What is going on? I heard that you resigned. Why?"

Mao Huzi originally planned to show off by killing a chicken, but who would have thought that the one in front of him was not just a chicken at all; this was simply a foolish badger. With a single touch, it left no room for a counterattack, biting down and refusing to let go, directly dragging itself into the water like this. It was truly foolish.

Do not speak of Guan Siya's worldly views; this is the common mindset of the majority of young people drifting in the Pearl. This reflects the prevalent attitude among countless young individuals striving in the Pearl. For many, including Guan Siya, the punctuality of someone like Wen Xu, who leaves work right at 5:30 to hang out with friends at the night market, enjoying a small meal and a drink, is seen as lacking ambition and skills.

Wenxu turned his head and smiled, saying: "Is this all you can do, sending me back to my original place? Whatever!"

Upon seeing his expression, Wenqu felt an inexplicable urge to vomit. This situation has reached such a point, yet he is still putting on an act for whom? If it weren't for your approval, how could a newcomer with no solid foundation suddenly make a mockery of someone in such a core position? This is truly an insult to my intelligence

In the current situation, there is no way for Mao Huzi to threaten anyone, especially since everyone has resigned. It is not feasible to force Wenxu to work overtime; after all, kidnapping is against the law. Mao Huzi does not possess such a strong sense of ownership to break the law for the company. After glancing around, he turned around and left in a dejected manner

We can discuss it later, how about this: buying a house, once the house is secured, a hundred and thirty square meters, give me some time," Wen Xu said

As soon as Guan Siya heard this, she immediately raised her hand and said, "Stop right there, you always have these twisted arguments! Let's not try to persuade each other; the key reason between us lies here. Our views are different, and we are destined to be classmates and friends in this lifetime. Alright, I came to talk to you about this matter, but I have a few other things to attend to, so I will take my leave now"

Master Zhao Xiaoyue saw Wenxu resign, her eyes were red and swollen, as girls tend to be a bit more emotional

However, Guan Siya is very diligent and ambitious, hoping to prove herself to others, wishing that the attention directed towards her is filled with envy, and desiring to live within the halo created by others' gazes. She would rather cook plain noodles at home than go out without carrying a Prada bag.

Sometimes, Wenyu thinks that if he has children in the future, he might not even send them to school, because he is truly uninterested in what schools teach. It is like stuffing a duck; in the end, the child becomes completely disinterested in learning. For Wenyu, schools should not cram knowledge into children's heads in a rote manner, as this is a fundamental inversion of education. What schools should teach is how to enable children to learn to acquire knowledge on their own, and to teach students how to learn; this is the most important thing.

There is no interest in buying a house, and the child may not even attend school. What appeal does the Mingzhu household registration hold for someone like Wenxu?
