Chapter 004 is not like you at all

Boss

Cang Hai smiled and said: "There is no banquet in the world that does not come to an end"

Cang Hai repeatedly waved his hand and said, "No, I have been doing very well here; I just want to return to my hometown"

The boss is here, just returned. However, if you don't have anything urgent, there's no need to rush in, as I can see that the boss's mood isn't very good today

"Boss, are you really leaving? Why is it so sudden? There was no preparation at all!" Liu Li, holding a folder, looked at Cang Hai with a face full of reluctance.

Otherwise, I can free up an office for you over there; would you like to be the Vice President in charge of design?" Zhou Ze tentatively asked

I am not saying that I won't come back; I just want to go back and take a look first. The matters here cannot be resolved in just a day or two!" Cang Hai, unable to tolerate the temperament of this young lady, immediately explained.

According to the method described by the shadow, in order to stimulate this seed of life, it is necessary to gather a sufficient amount of life essence, and the best place to collect this substance is the forest, where plants that grow more vigorously and for a longer duration can provide greater quantities of it

"No, I want to start a business in my hometown, so I can no longer serve you..." Cang Hai briefly explained his plans.

In that case, your household registration can remain with the company for now. If you wish to return, you are always welcome! I cannot start my own business while holding you back from pursuing yours!" Zhou Ze thought for a moment and then began to display a generous demeanor.

Cang Hai said: "It has not been decided yet, I am currently looking for a house"

What is this for?

To be honest, Cang Hai felt that he had overestimated his position in Zhou Ze's heart. According to Cang Hai's thoughts, Zhou Ze should at least make a decent effort to retain him. However, Zhou Ze merely uttered a few perfunctory words, none of which were sincere. This made Cang Hai feel that his years of loyalty and service seemed somewhat ridiculous.

Cangong, you have returned. Was Mexico enjoyable?

Upon arriving at the company and parking the car, I went directly upstairs. As soon as I entered the company, Cang Hai asked the receptionist, "Is the boss in?"

Oh!

Forget it, I will go to the company to resign later, and drive back home tonight said Cang Hai

What? Why?

I do not wish to have tea face to face with you through a screen

"Do as you wish, but you must not sneak back without coming here again. Otherwise, do you know that I will sever our ties?" Qi Yue said with a hint of concern.

What else then?" Cang Hai replied.

Cang Hai smiled and said, "I understand!"

At the entrance, he gently knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside say "come in". Cang Hai pushed open the door and saw his boss, Zhou Ze, sitting behind the large desk, resting his chin on his hands and lost in thought

Cang Hai nodded: "Indeed, if I were to leave, I must at least go see my godmother, and then formally bid farewell to the teacher and all of you. Moreover, I currently have other matters at hand!"

Then let's not look for it for now, stay at our house temporarily. Your godmother has been nagging that you haven't visited for a long time said Qi Yue

Just like that!'' Cang Hai replied.

The young lady at the front desk was quite familiar with Cang Hai, so she began to inquire out of curiosity

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately furrowed her brows and was about to explode with anger

Really? Qi Yue is a bit skeptical

Hearing that Cang Hai wants to start a business and go to the west, Zhou Ze did not say much more. To be honest, Zhou Ze sometimes feels that Cang Hai's salary is too high. With Cang Hai's current salary, he could hire two newcomers to do the work. Keeping only Cang Hai makes him feel that it is not very cost-effective. Although Cang Hai is considered a veteran, this veteran is gradually becoming somewhat of a burden. Retaining him comes with a high salary, and if he is let go, it might discourage other employees.

After a moment of contemplation, Cang Hai said: "Perhaps not necessarily, let me think it over, it is possible that I will return tomorrow."

Over the years, Cang Hai has saved some money, with around 160,000 to 170,000 yuan on hand. Although this may not seem like a lot, after deducting the expenses for both individuals and Zhou Xinhui's tuition fees over the years, being able to save this much is indeed a testament to Cang Hai's ability to manage his finances.

Thank you, boss!" Cang Hai said with gratitude

Zhou Ze felt somewhat reluctant to part with Cang Hai. On one hand, he was satisfied with Cang Hai's work; on the other hand, he appreciated Cang Hai's loyalty. A few years ago, when the company was on the verge of collapse and nearly all employees were about to leave, Cang Hai stayed behind to help him through the difficult times. At that time, Zhou Ze promised him the position of Vice President, but later on, the situation took a turn, and the position of Vice President was given to someone else.

Cang Hai listened and let out a sound of acknowledgment

Cang Hai slowly raised his hand and gestured in a circle: "It no longer holds any meaning for me to stay here; it would only add to my troubles!"

However, it didn't take long for Cang Hai to adjust, realizing that Zhou Ze was the boss, while he was merely an employee. If Zhou Ze truly had the intention, he would have raised the issue of stock allocation long ago, and there wouldn't have been so many chaotic matters.

Cang Hai smiled and said, "This won't do, I have things to attend to tonight. When I have time, I will treat you to a meal."

Not noticing Qi Yue's departure, Cang Hai continued to sit in the chair in a daze, constantly contemplating how he should proceed next

What are you thinking about? Qi Yue noticed that Cang Hai seemed a bit lost in thought, so she asked.

"Then where do you live now?" Qi Yue asked again

Qi Yue noticed that Cang Hai had started to daydream again and could no longer tolerate it. She gently tapped the table and said, "Hey, hey, could you show me a little respect? There's a beautiful lady beside you, and yet you are lost in thought?"

Cang Hai raised his hand and made an 'OK' gesture to indicate that he understood

He shook his head, driving the thoughts out of his mind, and continued to hand over his work to Liu Li. In any case, Liu Li was already fully capable of handling it, and whether or not Cang Hai was present seemed to make little difference.

Now, Cang Hai has set his sights on the longest-living tree he knows of, the General Sherman Tree in Sequoia National Park, preparing to draw its essence to stimulate the seeds of life within the space

Cang Hai and Zhou Ze have been interacting for quite some time. He understands that although he has gained the boss's appreciation, he is not related by blood or close ties, making it difficult to earn Zhou Ze's complete trust. Naturally, he has no interest in mentioning resignation only to retract it and become the deputy general manager of the design department, as it holds no significance

Unlike Zhou Ze, Liu Li expressed the most sincere reluctance to leave the vast sea

After chatting for a while, Cang Hai left the office and returned to his small cubicle to hand over his current tasks, assigning his responsibilities to his apprentice, a young girl named Liu Li.

"Damn it, neither I nor Gu Han are worth your time. Is it that in your heart, there's only that bitch Zhou Xinhui?" Qi Yue said angrily

Qi Yue was so angry that she almost lost her temper at the vast sea: "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. Are you really not going to stay at my house?"

As Zhou Zeyi gazed upon the vast sea, a smile immediately spread across his face

Cang Hai's response was weak and lacking energy, which made Qi Yue so angry that she turned around and left

"It's nothing, just some wild thoughts!" Cang Hai said, coming back to his senses.

Cang Hai thought that perhaps he should first gather some items to sell at the auction house, as he understood that auctions are not something that can be completed in a day or two; it would take several months in total.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Are you dissatisfied because of the last incident with the vice president?"

Zhou Ze was greatly astonished after hearing this and repeatedly asked.

He walked directly towards the boss's office after speaking.

Are you out of your mind? Why would you leave a good job to go back to your hometown? What can you do there? Is there a suitable job for you in your hometown...

After squatting for a while, Qi Yue finished her drink and noticed that Cang Hai had once again spaced out. Feeling quite displeased, she stood up and said, "I'm leaving"

Cang Hai reached out to pull open a chair and sat down in front of Zhou Ze, saying calmly: "Boss, I would like to resign"

Now Cang Hai has voluntarily resigned, and Zhou Ze suddenly feels a bit empty inside. Such is human nature; when others leave on their own accord, one tends to think positively of them, yet when one wishes to drive someone away, one can hardly wait to see them disappear from sight.

He sat there until after 2 PM, and only then did Cang Hai drive to the company, preparing to resign from his position.

No, I will go to the company to hand over some matters later, and then I will drive back to my hometown

Cang Hai shook his head: "It's different; you will always be my friends. I can come to see you whenever I want, and you can come to see me whenever you want. Besides, with communication technology being so advanced now, where can't we video chat or talk?"

Xiao Cang has arrived, please hurry and complete it. I have reviewed your report, and it is exceptionally well done. I have complete confidence in your work!

Cang Hai referred to other matters as the mysterious object he had just acquired, wanting to initiate some activities in the wilderness. Cang Hai understood that he must activate the seed of life from the mysterious space.

Liu Li, who has just entered the workplace, still carries the innocence from her school days. This is because Cang Hai taught her to be open and generous, unlike others who are often unwilling to mentor newcomers. Therefore, her gratitude and reluctance towards Cang Hai are the most genuine.

After speaking, Qi Yue turned around and thought that Cang Hai had merely lost his composure temporarily due to the matter concerning Zhou Xinhui. It would be good for him to return to his hometown to rest for a while. Moreover, with Cang Hai being the only one studying architecture, returning to the countryside to build something trivial would certainly not take him more than a year before he returned to the magic city. With this thought, he no longer felt troubled by the issue.

Boss, I will treat you to dinner tonight

Not only is Cang Hai urging the seeds of life to sprout, but he is also contemplating how to exchange the ceremonial armor from the space for some money to spend. For Cang Hai, the greatest significance of antiques lies in their monetary value. He does not mind selling all this ceremonial armor to trade for a vast forest for his hometown. Coincidentally, what Cang Hai needs the most right now is one word: money

What the boss says may not necessarily be fulfilled, just as some people can share hardships but not wealth. Cang Hai was mentally prepared for this, so when the company's vice president was replaced by someone else, he did not take it too much to heart. However, the salary increase made Cang Hai quite happy for a while

Although Ai Xiang Cang Hai is a talented individual, Zhou Ze dislikes being threatened by others even more. This statement was merely a test; if Cang Hai had truly agreed, it is likely that a seed of discontent would have been sown in Zhou Ze's heart.

Qiyue's mother is Canghai's godmother. There was a bit of misunderstanding regarding this matter, but after it was clarified, Canghai and Qiyue's parents got along very well.

After all the hustle and bustle, it was time to leave work. After completing the handover, I went to the finance department to settle the salary. As for this year's bonuses, Cang Hai did not fuss too much about it; as long as it was roughly acceptable, a little less was fine. Thus, I received the confirmation that my card would soon have an additional fifty to sixty thousand, and only then did I leave the company

Bang bang bang! Qi Yue charged towards Cang Hai like a rapid-fire cannon.
