âIs it just a job? Isnât working anywhere still work? Why should I put up with this here! Fine, Shen Chi wants me to resign, right? Iâll go back and write my resignation letter right now!â
All he knew was to yell at her. It wasnât enough that he had yelled at her several times in the past few days; today, he even embarrassed her in front of others.
âThe temper on young girls these days.â Linda said with a laugh, âYoung lady, let me give you a piece of advice, donât quit. Whether itâs the salary or the room for growth, no other company can compare with Shen Group. If you resign, Iâm afraid you wonât find such a good job again.â
âItâs okay, I donât care. Even if I end up sweeping floors or serving tea, I refuse to put up with this kind of treatment!â Xu Chaomu scoffed coldly.
âIs this the attitude of a newcomer?â Shen Chiâs voice was cold, âAt Shenâs, you have plenty of room for improvement, yet you donât seize the opportunity and instead flaunt your petty abilities here. Xu Chaomu, like this, not to mention a designer, ten years later youâll still just be someone sketching drafts!â
âIf youâre not here to work with the attitude of humbly learning, I advise you to leave now, donât waste a position in the Group!â
Shen Chi slapped the table twice, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the office dropped to a freezing point.
Xu Chaomu bit her lip, her eyes red as she looked at him.
She nearly cried; this was the first time Shen Chi had scolded her like this.
Although it was mixing personal resentments with official business, what he said was also true.
If she did not improve, she would only ever be someone sketching drafts, but her dream was to become an excellent designer.
Linda also had a point; whether it was the salary or the opportunity for growth, no other company could match Shen Group.
At Shenâs, she could grow rapidly and learn what she wanted to learn.
âPresident Shen, donât get angry with a newcomer, itâs not worth it.â Linda said to Shen Chi with a smile.
After speaking, she poured a cup of tea for Shen Chi.
âXu Chaomu, if you really want to resign, then get out of my office now!â Shen Chiâs temper flared up immediately.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Chaomu bit her lip, her eyes reddened as she looked at Shen Chi, her big eyes full of defiance and resilience.
She knew that Shen Chi was someone who acted on his word.
The moment she submitted her resignation letter, he would absolutely not stop her.
If she resigned from Shenâs, she could forget about ever coming back for life.
So what if he was her husband? If she angered him, he would have a hundred, a thousand ways to make her life miserable.
The atmosphere in the office instantly turned cold, and Shen Chiâs eyes were filled with a murderous look.
âI have not done my job well, Iâm sorry, President Shen, I will make up for it by working overtime on the drafts.â Xu Chaomu finally lowered her head in admission of her mistake.
Shen Chi loosened his tie, his anger not yet subsided, his face full of coldness.
Linda said, âPresident Shen, the girl has admitted her fault, let it go, donât be angry, give her a break.â
âXu Chaomu, from now on, you will learn from Linda. Understand?â Shen Chi said sternly and coldly.
âYes.â Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth.
Learn from Linda, huh, learn what? How to flirt with men?
âTake them all back, from now on, such stuff, throw it in the trash on your own initiative!â
Shen Chi flung his hand, pushing all the paperwork Xu Chaomu had on the table onto the floor.
Paper flew everywhere, covering the ground.
Xu Chaomu looked at Shen Chi with extreme resentment, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes full of anger.
She looked at the hot tea on his desk, wishing she could throw it in his face!
A petty person who mixes personal prejudices with business!
Xu Chaomu bit her teeth and slowly squatted to pick up the drawings off the floor one by one.
This was all her hard work, who was he to disrespect it like this.
She admitted she lacked experience, but she had been working very seriously these past few days. While others were chatting, she was working.
Linda also came to help her pick up the drawings from the floor, saying kindly, âThis project is quite important. President Shen giving it to a newcomer shows he values you, he wants to cultivate you, you must not let down President Shenâs expectation.â
Xu Chaomu didnât speak, valued her? Was that the tone to use?!
The scent of Lindaâs perfume was strong, Xu Chaomu scrunched her nose and quickly picked up the drawings from the floor.
She noticed Lindaâs perfectly displayed curves as she squatted down; if she were a man, she would have been stirred too.
Shen Chi was never short of women by his side, but in front of her, he always pretended to be chaste.
Behind her back, thereâs no telling how many women he had been involved with.
Holding the drawings, Xu Chaomu said indifferently, âPresident Shen, Iâll take my leave now.â
âHmm,â Shen Chi responded indifferently.
Xu Chaomu left the elevator holding back her anger; this man had called her over just to scold her.
There was no one in the elevator, and tears started to fall as she clutched the drawings.
He was particularly harsh when lecturing people. This was the first time she had been scolded like this by him; he was showing her who was boss.
As the elevator descended slowly, she wiped her eyes and dried her tears.
Her eyes were red, her right hand clasped around the drawings, her left hand caressing her belly as she looked down and said with a sense of grievance, âBaby, why is your father like this.â
With a âding,â the elevator arrived.
Xu Chaomu collected her emotions and walked calmly to the design department with the drawings.
After returning, she threw away everything useless and started drawing again.
While others in the office were chatting, she was drafting; while they were snacking, she continued to draft.
She worked earnestly, and after a few more days, she indeed realized that her previous draft was off-theme.
However, she believed that she would definitely complete the task well this time.
On Saturday, everyone else was off, but she was alone in the office reviewing the drawings.
She was thinking about how to design the theme to stand out more and also be more innovative.
As she pondered intensely, biting the tip of her pen, suddenly, thunder âboomâ erupted in the sky.
The thunder was unexpected; âsnap,â the pen in her hand dropped on the floor.
She looked outside the window and saw that the sky had turned dark and oppressive without her noticing.
The office was dim, and she was so focused that she hadnât realized the lights were off.
She got up to turn on the lights, the large office now only inhabited by her.
It was already five in the afternoon.
She had just had a spark of inspiration and didnât want to stop halfway; seeing as she hadnât brought an umbrella, it was better to wait for the rain to pass.
But the thunderous sounds outside were slightly terrifying.
She was always scared of thunder, even within the office.
Her hand holding the pencil shook a bit, so she put on a pair of headphones.
Indeed, that helped a lot, Xu Chaomu mentally praised her own cleverness.
Though she could barely hear the thunder anymore, she was so engrossed that she didnât notice someone approaching her.
While she listened to music and drew, she was very focused on her work.
Shen Chi tapped on her desk, but Xu Chaomu showed no reaction at the first attempt.
