Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1219: Preparation

Lu Chengmin and Zheng Wenqiang had clearly gotten the word from Su Yuanyuan, so the two of them talked directly about this matter after finishing their meal.

After Xu Guozhi listened, he looked at Zeng Zhenqing, and indeed, he was right; there was no compromise at all.

"Old Zeng, what if I take care of the Jiang Family?" His expression was very displeased.

Zeng Zhenqing shook his head, "It won’t work. If she makes a tough stand or directly handles the Jiang Family, then this matter can be resolved. But as she is now, no one can do anything about it."

"Can’t she understand me?"

He Yuanhao put down his chopsticks, "Put yourself in her shoes, who among us can return good for evil?"

Xu Guozhi was left feeling quite embarrassed by He Yuanhao’s words.

The atmosphere became even heavier. Zeng Zhenqing said nothing. He knew that after Xiao Su left her job, it would be Xiao Tan’s turn, no, it should be the three kids’ turn.

Xiao Su’s strong-mindedness is not good in the current situation. She’s too uncompromising, not allowing a single grain of sand in her eyes, which has both its pros and cons.

After the meal, everyone left, and Xu Guozhi kept pondering over this matter.

Now he feels like he’s worthless, neither here nor there.

Xiao Su had saved his life, and for so many years she worked without complaint.

Why can’t she understand him this time? He had always known she didn’t care about power and status. The fact that she could leave without any hesitation proved it even more.

He never believed that this was Su Yuanyuan playing hard to get; she’s not that kind of person, nor would she deign to do so.

With her pride, she would absolutely not do such things.

Also, he hadn’t seen her since she had her baby.

He had already prepared gifts for the two kids, but neither of them showed up, which he found quite frustrating.

When He Yuanhao returned home from work, he saw his wife waiting for him.

"Xiao Yun, today Minister Su clearly told me and Minister Lu that she’s going to resign."

Li Liyun was only slightly surprised.

"Did you already know?"

Li Liyun shook her head, "How could I? I’m just not too surprised about Sister Yuanyuan resigning."

He Yuanhao sat down next to Li Liyun, "Why?"

"Because of Sister Yuanyuan’s personality. The life that seems so attractive to others truly isn’t for her.

Haven’t you noticed? Sister Yuanyuan hasn’t bought anything since she started working?"

He Yuanhao frowned; he hadn’t noticed.

"Sister Yuanyuan doesn’t like this kind of life. She doesn’t want to be bound.

Do you know why Tan Shaoting always behaves humbly? He certainly loves Sister Yuanyuan, but mainly, it’s because he knows it’s because of him that Sister Yuanyuan is trapped."

"Freedom? Who can truly be free?"

"Yeah, no one can truly be free, but relative freedom can still be joyful."

He Yuanhao was in a bad mood, feeling powerless against a woman who could leave without any attachment, and wondered how she could do so with such ease.

The next day at work, Su Yuanyuan began organizing her files with her secretary. These all needed to be handed over.

Su Yuanyuan was quite satisfied with her secretaries and had no concerns about leaving.

She was not worried; they would certainly be put to good use.

By noon, she went home an hour early.

The four of them—mother and sons—had lunch and chatted. "Mom, if you resign, can we resign too?"

"Yes, then your dad will be last." She understood Tan Shaoting’s thinking, which was fine. Their departure wasn’t about revenge; there were many reasons behind it.

The individuals they had developed could continue to contribute to the country; what’s bad about that?

"Mom, are you going to work in the afternoon?"

Su Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head, "No need, it’s arranged in the morning. Secretary Qian and the others are organizing the files."

The happiest person was Gu Ersheng in Qi Wen’s sea of consciousness. He guessed they were not far from leaving here.

However, he remained steady, as he absolutely couldn’t let her find out he had influenced Qi Wen; otherwise, it would be troubling.

Su Yuanyuan was also tidying up the house, and the Qi Yan and Qi Hong brothers were organizing things. They would move out in the coming days.

The two of them hired craftsmen to clean up, including the garden.

Xu Guozhi knew everything about their family’s every move.

Did they not want to live here anymore? He struggled internally.

He knew now that even if he tried to persuade her, he couldn’t. Let it be. If she wants to leave, let her go.

By July 25th, Su Yuanyuan had completed all her work handovers.

That day she was with Gu Yuanqing and Zheng Zhiqiang.

The three of them discussed work matters.

"Leader, Xiao Gu is a capable person, but you need to guide him on the sidelines and keep him from being too aggressive."

Gu Yuanqing was very grateful to Su Yuanyuan. She was his mentor, giving him the chance to realize his value.

"Minister Su, don’t worry, I will think carefully before acting."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "That’s good. You can’t make mistakes, so you need to be more stable. You know one of your decisions could affect many."

Gu Yuanqing nodded, "Minister Su, I definitely will."

Zheng Wenqiang hadn’t said anything yet; once Gu Yuanqing left, only the two of them remained in the office.

"Xiao Su, I understand you too, so I won’t try to convince you. Go live the life you want."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for understanding, sir."

"No need for thanks. We’ve worked together for quite a while, and I know your character."

"Leader, here is my resignation letter. Please sign it."

"Xiao Su, maybe you should keep your position as a representative."

Zheng Wenqiang saw this resignation letter, truly comprehensive; she didn’t want anything.

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Leader, that’s inappropriate. I won’t be in a position of authority, so it should be left to someone capable."

Zheng Wenqiang saw that Su Yuanyuan didn’t show any reluctance and sighed.

After signing, he handed it to Su Yuanyuan. "Have a happy life, the one you want."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I certainly will."

Things here were wrapped up today. External affairs would be completed the day after tomorrow due to the volume of documents. Every piece of paper here had to be submitted, leading to a heavy workload.

That noon, she didn’t go back home but called Xu Guozhi to say she would come over for lunch.

But Tan Shaoting wouldn’t go; he was to go home, one of them had to.

Today’s meal was just the two of them.

Qian Zhifeng, knowing Su Yuanyuan’s taste, ordered only light dishes.

The two sat and ate like this. After the meal, they each had a cup of hot water.
