67: Resignation

Boyue Mansion!

A brand-new volvo xc90 with temporary plates was parked in front of the detached villa.

Chen Zhide opened the door and stepped out, feeling a sense of innate dignity.

"Stop fussing, aren't all the cars in this neighborhood worth three to five hundred thousand?"

Hearing Luo Jinglan's words, the corners of Chen Zhide's mouth stiffened.

It seemed that was true!

His volvo xc90 could only be considered average here.

As soon as the two stepped out of the car, they saw Supervisor Zhao and that tall, graceful figure in the villa's courtyard.

"Baiwei is here too!"

Luo Jinglan greeted her.

Since Yan Baiwei was her son's high school classmate, Luo Jinglan did not use the distant title of Teacher Yan.

Instead, she affectionately called her Baiwei.

"Auntie, Uncle."

Yan Baiwei revealed a faint smile, like a blooming snow lotus.

Supervisor Zhao, seeing this, enthusiastically stepped forward and offered Chen Zhide a Zhongzhi Yuxi cigarette.

In his eyes, this man would be President Yan's in-law in the future!

"Old Brother Chen, you bought a new car!"

"volvo xc90, how much did you pay for it?"

Supervisor Zhao noticed Chen Zhide's new car at a glance and immediately gave him a thumbs up!

Chen Zhide immediately looked at Supervisor Zhao with a bit more warmth.

"A little over five hundred thousand."

"Hiss, you've got real strength, Old Brother!"

"Eh, it's just that the kid insisted on buying it, saying this car is safer."

"That's for sure, Volvo is known as the safest car on the road..."

Chen Zhide couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth; while he was humble with his words, his face was full of smugness and pride!

Luo Jinglan, standing to the side, pursed her lips upon hearing this, but she didn't expose him in front of outsiders.

She just asked Yan Baiwei curiously.

"Baiwei, do you know if a company can deduct taxes for buying a car?"

Yan Baiwei nodded.

"It's possible. Many bosses don't have cars under their own names; they are all registered under the company."

"That's good. I thought Chen Qiu and Xu Jia were tricking me..."

Hearing Luo Jinglan's muttering, Yan Baiwei's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

Xu Jia...

Sounds like a girl's name?

Yan Baiwei's thoughts drifted slightly, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Auntie, what did Chen Qiu trick you about?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a bit of regret.

Asking for information about Chen Qiu in front of his mother, didn't that make it seem like she was too focused on him?

"Oh, it's nothing, he just started a company..."

Seeing that Luo Jinglan didn't seem to notice this, Yan Baiwei let out a small sigh of relief.

"Am I being too sensitive?"

Yan Baiwei felt that recently, whenever she came into contact with anything related to Chen Qiu, she couldn't focus.

Even the dreams she had last night were about Chen Qiu.

This made the cool and aloof Yan Baiwei feel a bit secretly annoyed.

She felt like she was turning into a love-struck teenage girl!

...

Noon.

China Merchants Bank branch.

The Audi Horch and BMW 530 were parked side by side.

Xu Jia went up to submit her resignation letter, while Chen Qiu stayed in the car.

"The handover process for resigning from the bank might take some time, but since my job nature doesn't require me to chase performance targets, it's quite flexible. I can still take care of things at the company during the handover period."

Xu Jia reminded him.

Chen Qiu nodded. Currently, the shop was still being managed by the previous company, so there wasn't much to do.

He and Xu Jia could just go over and handle the handover when the time came.

As for when the company officially starts operating, that would have to wait until after the New Year.

Immediately after, Xu Jia went upstairs.

At this time, approaching the end of the workday, Xu Jia's appearance surprised the two male colleagues in the office.

"Where did you go this morning? The Director didn't see you and even said a few words. Be careful later."

One of the male colleagues whispered a reminder.

"Thank you."

Xu Jia nodded at him. Originally not planning to disclose her resignation, she stopped and said to the two of them.

"I'm resigning. Remember to take over my clients; don't let that bitch He Ting have them!"

After saying this, she turned and walked towards the Director's office, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.

The two male colleagues looked at each other, both seeing shock and disbelief in the other's eyes.

They never expected that Xu Jia would resign at the end of the year.

She doesn't want her year-end performance bonus?

She doesn't want next year's start-of-work bonus either?

Does she have a mine at home?

"She's confused!"

"Even if she can't stand He Ting, she should at least hold out until next year!"

The two looked at each other and sighed, their faces full of regret.

They actually had quite a good impression of Xu Jia!

Just looking at her face was a treat for the eyes, not to mention her personality was also quite good!

Thinking about how they would have to face that woman He Ting alone in the office in the future, they couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Jia arrived at the Director's office and knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Walking into the office, Director Lu Tao's bloated figure was sitting on the chair, looking slightly cramped.

When Director Lu Tao saw Xu Jia's pure and alluring face, his eyes lit up slightly.

Just by standing there, the air in the office seemed to become a bit sweeter.

"You still know how to come back?"

As soon as Director Lu Tao spoke, he let out a heavy cold snort.

"You were missing all morning. Can't you invite your clients to the bank?"

The work location for private banking client managers is flexible. In necessary circumstances, even if they aren't in the office for a day, it's not really a problem.

But whether the situation is necessary is determined by Director Lu Tao!

Recently, Xu Jia hadn't even maintained the proper respect for him; she had been cold, even showing disdain and disgust!

Did she not have any respect for him as a Director?

Director Lu Tao was very unhappy!

Naturally, he had to find an opportunity to discipline this stubborn woman!

"Your current performance is..."

He said coldly, rambling on a lot, with every sentence belittling Xu Jia's ability.

To his surprise, Xu Jia did not refute him at all throughout.

In the past, this woman would definitely have retorted a few times.

Noticing the calm and seemingly relieved expression on Xu Jia's face, a thought appeared in his mind.

Did she figure it out?

That's right; why take the hard way when there's a shortcut?

Just as he was about to speak, Xu Jia placed a letter on his desk.

"Director, this is my resignation notice."

Resignation?!

Director Lu Tao's expression changed, and he shouted directly.

"I don't agree!"

Xu Jia's expression didn't change, and she said calmly.

"This is a notice; it doesn't require your consent."

"I will finish the remaining work before the handover is completed."

...

At this moment.

Chen Qiu got out of the car to get some fresh air.

Just as he stretched, he saw a slightly familiar figure.

Looking closely.

Isn't this He Ting, who gave him a big gift!
