Chapter 14: A Difficult Parting

Returning from Zhengzhou, the first thing Nie Congcong considered was to resign from his friend of home.

Resigning is easier said than done. She thought about it, but she didn't know how to open her mouth to the editor-in-chief, in this industry, if Qin Ge was the master who led her into the door, then the person who led her to grow up quickly was the editor-in-chief Zhang. And it is said that when she joined the magazine back then, she was hired by the editor-in-chief, and this kindness has not been reported, and she has not made any contribution to the magazine in the past two years, but now she is leaving, even if Nie Congcong is a heartless person, she feels embarrassed.

In the middle of the morning, Nie Congcong went to the water room to wash the dishes, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw that the editor-in-chief was also there, and quickly turned around and wanted to leave. was stopped by the editor-in-chief, Nie Congcong, what are you running? What's wrong with you during this time, sneaky, hide when you see me. Tell me, what bad things have you done? Nie Congcong was frightened, where is it, editor-in-chief, I can still do bad things like this, don't worry, this girl is definitely a good citizen. Oh, the editor-in-chief glanced at Nie Congcong with a smile and said, I'm giving you a chance, don't blame me if you don't say it. Nie Congcong was startled, and his heart was pounding. I thought, oh no, where did the editor-in-chief hear about something? The editor-in-chief looked at Nie Congcong in a daze, and sighed, Okay, Nie Congcong, don't be in a daze, bring me your washing. The bowl for today's meal is too greasy, and I don't know what kind of oil is used in the canteen today.

Hearing the leader's words, Nie Congcong hurriedly put down the bowl, went back to his office to wash and clean, and pondered how to deal with it next as he walked. Nie Congcong took the washing and cleaning, the editor-in-chief squeezed out some and gave it back to her, washed the dishes in three or two clicks, and said to Nie Congcong, little girl, it has never been difficult for anyone in the magazine to work with you for more than two years, I know that you are the kind of person who can't hold your breath, if you have anything inconvenient to say to me in person, or feel that you can't tell me in person, you can tell me the same on QQ, I can see it, don't worry! After saying these words, he walked away without looking back.

The editor-in-chief is still the same editor-in-chief, and his speech is still the same style as before, but at this noon, Nie Congcong was a little moved by the leader's understanding, and there was an indescribable loss in his heart. She knew that the words of resignation would never be taken back once they were spoken.

Nie Congcong has worked in Friends of Home magazine for more than two years, the colleagues in the administration department are gentle and polite, the colleagues in the distribution department are very cooperative, the colleagues in the editorial department are all talented, and the core figure Editor-in-Chief Zhang is also a bright and upright young man with a clear distinction between public and private. No matter what others say in private, his thoughts, his vision, and his pattern can take you to a new level, and make you feel empowered and enlightened from time to time. Thinking of this, Nie Congcong still had some reluctance and nostalgia in her heart, but she knew that she had to take this big step.

After finishing the manuscript in his hand in the afternoon, Nie Congcong clicked on the QQ interface of the editor-in-chief, and after hesitating for a long time, he slowly typed a few words: Editor-in-chief, I want to resign. After about five minutes, a few words pop up on the interface, why? Where are you going? Nie Congcong replied, I want to go to Zhengzhou, there is an opportunity to be the executive editor-in-chief, I want to try it. This time the interval was 10 minutes, and the editor-in-chief slowly replied with the information: good birds choose high branches to perch. There is not a word in the back, and Nie Congcong has no way of knowing the expression and mood of the editor-in-chief when he saw her resignation, which was also the last sentence that Nie Congcong said to the editor-in-chief before he decided to leave the Friends of Home magazine, and later, they entered the tourism circle together, and there was no chance to meet again, let alone say another word, as for the phone or WeChat, Nie Congcong did not have the courage after all, and Nie Congcong regretted it very much after many years, she felt that the resignation should be told to the editor-in-chief in person, this is a matter of attitude, and it is also a matter of respect for the editor-in-chief, But in this world, there is really no regret medicine to sell, and she only hopes to see Editor-in-Chief Zhang again one day in a certain year and month and say sorry to him.

After finishing the work of the unit, Nie Congcong was about to go home to face his parents. Mother did not have fierce opposition to Nie Congcong going to other places, and she was a little unbearable at the beginning, looking at Nie Congcong's resolute attitude, she didn't say anything more, but spoke for Nie Congcong in front of her father.

The time to report to the magazine office in Zhengzhou is getting closer and closer, Nie Congcong is anxious like an ant on a hot pot every day, and his father came back from the car that night, and everyone sat together for dinner. My sister's boyfriend is also there, the house is warm and peaceful, Nie Congcong thought about it and couldn't help but speak, she said to her father, Dad, go to Zhengzhou, whether you let me go or not, I have to go, I have to go, I have resigned from the Friends of the Family Magazine, and I have completed the formalities. Now you won't let me go, and I don't have a place to work. When my father heard this, he put the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and everyone was startled by him. Nie Congcong hurriedly said, I'm sorry, Dad, don't be angry. I just want to go out to work, not to do anything bad, besides, Xi'an is very close to Zhengzhou, four hours by car, and I will come back often. Father glared at her angrily, mother saw that the situation was not right, quickly criticized her, Congcong, don't talk about these unhappy things at meal time, what's the matter with you now, the longer you go, the more ignorant you are? My sister also chimed in. Nie Congcong didn't speak again, but this matter had been officially torn apart, so he could only face it.

After dinner, everyone sat together and watched TV, because of Nie Congcong's matter, everyone was not very happy, seeing that at half past nine, my sister's boyfriend left, everyone went back to the house to sleep one after another, only Nie Congcong sat alone in the living room in a daze.

At about ten o'clock, my mother called Nie Congcong to the bedroom. There were only father and mother in the house, and in the dim light, father and mother looked a little old, especially the gray hair on the father's head was more obvious. Mother asked her, Congcong, have you thought about going to Zhengzhou? Nie Congcong said, I think about it, Mom, in the future, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will overcome them by myself and will never complain about anyone. The path I chose myself, even if I was on my knees, I would have walked it through. The mother glanced at her father, the corners of her father's mouth tugged, she sighed, and said helplessly, Nie Congcong, actually, I really want to beat you, as a daughter, you have no rules, and you do whatever you want. You've failed us so much. However, I really can't do this, you have been spoiled by us since you were a child, and when you encounter anything, you rush forward fearlessly, never reckless of any consequences. I couldn't stop you from quitting from the hospital then, and I can't stop you from going out of town. If you think about it, you do it. However, you have to remember that not everyone will be like Director Huang and Editor-in-Chief Zhang, outside, people are unpredictable, you don't harm others, but you must also be vigilant and learn to protect yourself. Father's words made Nie Congcong's heart mixed, there was both a kind of relieved lightness, but also an indescribable heaviness, in the final analysis, he was too selfish, and he failed the editor-in-chief and his father.
