Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 992 - 590: Like Being Dumped After a Breakup

The autumn cicadas had droned on throughout the day, until the clouds turned red with the sunset, their noise finally drowned out by the sound of traffic and people.

Ruan Mengxi chatted with Tang Wan for a while in Guantang Villa, then went home for a quick shower, changed into a bright red long dress, and applied delicate makeup. Wearing high heels, she looked like a proud queen.

The sun was setting obliquely, and as the night breeze rose, a chill enveloped the air, yet she wore no coat.

After stepping out of the taxi, she crossed the street and walked directly into the revolving doors of the Qi Group.

The highly polished floor reflected a dazzling swath of red. The long dress clung softly to her body, outlining her slender legs as she moved.

She was as eye-catching as a stunning bird in flight.

"Assistant Ruan?" The receptionist called out, somewhat incredulously.

"Hello." Ruan Mengxi smiled and greeted them, heading straight to the accounting office on the 8th floor. She was meeting with her former colleagues for dinner that evening, and also went to the office to pick up her paycheck.

When she received her pay slip, she furrowed her brows slightly, "Accountant Qian, is this an error?"

"No error, it includes a subsidy for three months, specifically instructed by Assistant Xiaozhu."

According to standard company procedures, someone like Ruan Mengxi, who resigned voluntarily, was lucky not to have to pay a penalty. How could she have received a subsidy?

"Okay, thank you." Ruan Mengxi pressed her lips together, understanding deep down that it was definitely Qi Zeyan’s doing.

This would surely be her last visit to Qi Group, and no matter what, she should at least pay her respects to him.

So when Qi Zeyan was still at work, the door was knocked open. After Xiaozhu came in, he was still looking down at a document regarding some acquisition.

"Boss, Xiaoruan is here, she’d like to come in and say goodbye."

"Okay." Qi Zeyan responded, and just over ten seconds later, he heard a knock on the door, "Come in."

Accompanied by the clicking of high heels, a red silhouette appeared in the corner of his eye. He glanced up indifferently, looking at her with raised eyebrows.

"Boss." Ruan Mengxi was good-looking, though not stunningly so, yet her smile was as infectious as a blooming flower, exceptionally captivating.

Qi Zeyan pressed his tongue against his cheek, clenching his teeth.

Looks like with a new boss, things really are different!

Very happy, huh!

Already started dressing up, with him, she wore dull clothes every day, indeed, switching bosses, her whole aura changed.

"Is all the work handed over?"

"Yes, thank you for all your care, and for the extra pay."

"The club won’t officially open until the end of the year, there’s a period of vacancy, now that you’ve switched over, you might not even get a basic salary." Qi Zeyan looked at her, his gaze deep, and with his slicked-back hair and suit, he carried an inherent sense of authority, "Are you...really not regretting it?"

Ruan Mengxi wanted to tell him then:

I’ve regretted it for a long time!

"No regrets." Ruan Mengxi was stubborn.

After submitting her resignation letter, Jiang Chengsi requested her transfer right in front of Qi Zeyan, so no matter what, she couldn’t go back.

Qi Zeyan lowered his head, holding a pen as he signed a document, "Switching to the club, in the end, you’re still working for me. The club’s profitability is uncertain; if things don’t work out, I’ll have Chengsi bring you back to continue working."

Ruan Mengxi was a bit surprised:

Can I really come back?

But what would she do if she came back?

Still, she smiled slightly, "No need, if the club can’t operate, I probably won’t come back either."

Qi Zeyan’s hand paused slightly, his fingertips applying pressure, causing the pen to pierce the paper, a large blot of ink spreading out.

He put down the pen, growing agitated again, but as he looked at her, his expression remained calm and restrained, "Why wouldn’t you come back?"

"Our relationship is awkward; even without Fourth Master, I would’ve resigned sooner or later. If the club can’t continue, I might not stay in Beijing. Being alone there is quite tiring, I’ll probably go back home."

Leaving Qi Group was indeed a bold decision for Ruan Mengxi, with her whole heart set on the Racing Club. Even though Jiang Chengsi offered better pay and benefits, many didn’t understand or support her decision.

They thought she might be crazy for giving up a stable, high-paying job.

So one bout of madness was enough.

If the club really did close, she likely wouldn’t stay in Beijing either.

Although Tang Wan was there, she also had her own life, unlike back in school when they could hang out together every day.

Qi Zeyan looked at her without saying anything.

"Boss, I’m going out with the colleagues for dinner tonight, would you like to join?" Ruan Mengxi knew he wouldn’t come but asked symbolically.
