The office of the assistant to the president on the top floor of the Xuanyang International Headquarters Building.

"Huh?" Catherine looked at Gu Qingqing in surprise, "You're going to resign?" ”

"Yes." Gu Qingqing nodded.

According to the usual practice, if Xuanyang International's internal employees want to resign, they need to report to their immediate supervisor - Gu Qingqing's direct boss is Catherine - at least one month in advance in order to carry out the personnel handover. Then you have to apply to the HR Department.

The reason for this is to prevent the sudden departure of staff from causing personnel faults, causing inconvenience to the company's operations, and gaining time for the personnel department to recruit talents, and on the other hand, to facilitate the rearrangement of work content in the department where the resignation personnel work.

None of this is Catherine's focus, though......

"That, Qingqing, could it be that you and Xuanmo have quarreled recently? I see you don't talk to each other much even after work, and now you're quitting again......"

Is it so obvious? Gu Qingqing sighed secretly: "We did have a little problem recently, but my resignation has nothing to do with this. ”

The reason for Gu Qingqing's resignation can be traced back to the phone call that Gu's mother gave her a few days ago.

It turned out that Gu's mother's snack bar was unique in flavor, and it did not weigh or lack catties, plus it was a newly opened shop, and there were many people who wanted to be fresh, and the business was not ordinarily prosperous.

Now is the hottest time of summer, many people like to use lo-mei to drink, but at this time, because of the high temperature, even the swallow good lo-mei often has to be sold on the same day, otherwise it will spoil.

Although Gu Qingqing's home is in a third-tier small city, the place is not big, but it is also a "city", and some people are reluctant to move because of the heat, so Gu's mother thought of buying a certain amount of lo-mei and delivering it to her door for free under the advice of others.

But because the small store has just opened, how can there be extra funds to hire someone else? What's more, it's not like you posted a poster yesterday and someone will be able to apply for it today. So Gu's mother thought of her daughter's "free labor".

Originally, Gu's mother didn't want her only daughter to take root in City A - although City A was much more flowery than Gu Qingqing's house, but after all, she was not by her side, Gu's mother had no husband to rely on, and her only daughter was not around, so it was inevitable that her heart would be empty.

But as a mother, who doesn't want her children to live well and be rich? Therefore, before ensuring that Gu Qingqing could live a stable and relaxed life by her side, Gu's mother never made a request for Gu Qingqing to return to her hometown.

It wasn't until this time, after calculating the turnover for a while, and thinking that if this small shop was well run, it could be handed over to Gu Qingqing and her future son-in-law to take care of, which would be considered a lot of assets, that Gu's mother asked Gu Qingqing if she wanted to go back to work in her family's small shop.

In a sense, for Gu Qingqing, "Mother is bigger than the sky" is her code of conduct, so don't say that Zhou's mother's request is for her, even if it is not, basically Gu Qingqing will not disobey her mother.

And this time she plans to resign, but there is no reason to escape the awkward atmosphere with Zhou Xuanmo.

Seeing that Gu Qingqing had made up her mind, Catherine, as an outsider, naturally didn't want to say anything more. It's just that because the subjective impression of Ghost Qingqing is not bad, and seeing that Zhou Xuanmo and Gu Qingqing don't seem to be playing, Catherine still can't help but persuade:

"Although I don't know exactly what happened between you, life is lived together by two people after all. If your resignation is not because of Xuanmo, then it is naturally good, but if it is because of Xuanmo, then I still hope that if there are any difficulties, the two of you will discuss it more. ”

Knowing that the other party had good intentions, Gu Qingqing smiled and nodded: "Catherine, thank you for your advice." ”

"It's not advice," Catherine winked playfully in a bold and neat style, "It can be regarded as a summary of the experience of the 'people who have come over' who have entered the marriage hall in Jinjiang." But......" Catherine looked in the direction of the president's office, "if you resign, might as well explain it to Xuanmo?" ”

Although under normal circumstances, Gu Qingqing should not "skip the level" to report his resignation to Zhou Xuanmo - otherwise there are thousands of people in a company, and everyone who resigns will report to the president to pay it back - but after all, the relationship between Gu Qingqing and Zhou Xuanmo is not ordinary.

Gu Qingqing nodded: "I was about to explain this matter to him." ”

So, a moment later, Gu Qingqing sat on the sofa by the window of Zhou Xuanmo's office. On Zhou Xuanmo's desk, Gu Qingqing's resignation letter was being placed at this time.

"Okay, I promise your resignation."

"What" (⊙o⊙)" Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand, and stared at Zhou Xuanmo as if she didn't understand.

"I mean, I promise your resignation."

"Oh." Gu Qingqing nodded, I don't know why, it was obviously his resignation application, but Zhou Xuanmo agreed happily like this, and he didn't hesitate at all, let alone words like retention, which made Gu Qingqing feel a little disappointed.

Then she was contemptuous, entangled, and spit on herself in her heart - obviously you submitted your resignation, did anyone force you, what is there to lose?! What hypocrisy!!

Looking at Gu Qingqing's little face wrinkled into a bun because of the entanglement, Zhou Xuanmo couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. This smile, as if the weird and suffocating atmosphere that separated the two of them, seemed to disappear all at once.

"That...... I didn't quit because I was angry with you......" I don't know why, obviously I didn't plan to explain anything, but this sentence naturally slipped out without the permission of my brain.

When Gu Qingqing realized that he was actually explaining to Zhou Xuanmo, he couldn't help but despise himself even more: Gu Qingqing, Gu Qingqing, you are really getting more and more useless! Did you do anything wrong, and why do you have to explain it?!

What made her even more depressed was that this kind of "explanation" was largely like a disguised "show of weakness" - this was absolutely impossible to happen to Gu Qingqing in the past. Because in Gu Qingqing's opinion, if you want her to show weakness, there is only one situation that is "to make a loss".

And now, Gu Qingqing thought that she hadn't done anything wrong, but she naturally made this kind of weak move, which even felt a little incredible.

However, when Zhou Xuanmo heard Gu Qingqing's words, a smile flashed in his originally emotionless eyes, but it was quickly disguised.

"Why did you explain it to me?" The man asked, still with a blank face.

"Ah...... Why......" Gu Qingqing frowned: The ghost knows why?! She felt a little incredible, and sure enough, she was □ghosted just now.

After a long time, Gu Qingqing didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but Zhou Xuanmo changed the topic as if he had forgotten his question and asked, "Except for the resignation, do you have nothing else to tell me?" ”

Gu Qingqing nodded, took a deep breath, as if she wanted to give herself more strength, then raised her head to look at Zhou Xuanmo, and said slowly: "Zhou Xuanmo, let's break up." ”

In just a few words, it seemed to have an infinite freezing effect, freezing Zhou Xuanmo's movements and all his expressions. After a moment, he slowly asked, "Why?" Just because my mom is against you being with me? At the end of the words, there was an imperceptible tremble.

"I think that's enough reason."

"Enough?!" Zhou Xuanmo sneered—this expression, this was the first time Gu Qingqing had seen it—he suddenly got up and bypassed the desk, stood in front of Gu Qingqing, and said condescendingly, "It turns out that in your opinion, the relationship between the two of us can be broken by a word from anyone?!" ”

"But it's not 'anybody,' that's your mother." Gu Qingqing's expression was very calm.

Although Zhou's mother was very unkind to Gu Qingqing, and she had deep prejudices, Gu Qingqing did not intend to provoke the mother-son relationship between Zhou Xuanmo and his mother because of this, and even went against Zhou's mother for naïve reasons such as fighting for herself.

In Gu Qingqing's opinion, he attaches so much importance to his mother, and he definitely doesn't want her to be angry because of herself, so empathy, Zhou Xuanmo is the same.

"I'm not going to ask the stupid thing of 'who do you choose between me and your mother?' because it's the right thing to do with your mother – if you make your mother sad because of me, then even if we're together, I'll have a bad conscience."

Zhou Xuanmo stared at Gu Qingqing deadly, and after a while, he raised Gu Qingqing's chin and asked hatefully, "Could it be ...... Am I such an incompetent man in your heart? ”

"What?" Gu Qingqing was stunned.

"I mean, do I have to choose one or the other?! You're not a tier-level (river crab) level enemy, why are you so sure, if we were together, my mother would be sad and angry?! ”

"But ......"

"That's right, my mother's attitude towards you is very bad," Zhou Xuanmo looked into Gu Qingqing's eyes, "But Gu Qingqing, in all fairness, isn't the reason for all this?!If you have more confidence in me and confess everything to me, how can someone catch the handle and say that you are 'deliberately concealing' and 'using your confidence'?" ”

"I'm not ......"

What not? Not intentionally taking advantage of it? But does anyone believe this? Thinking from Zhou's mother's point of view, Gu Qingqing herself would not believe it.
