Chapter 273: Chapter 273 Another One_1

“Director Shen, you were doing so well at Xinghai Entertainment, why do you suddenly want to resign?” Xu Yixue looked at Shen Xiaomei with surprise and asked.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Xu, there’s been some trouble at home, and now I just don’t have the energy to stay at the company anymore, so I have to resign. I’ve cherished my time at Xinghai Entertainment, and I hope it will continue to grow and flourish,” Shen Xiaomei said with a hint of apology to Xu Yixue.

“Trouble at home?” Xu Yixue cast a dubious glance at Shen Xiaomei.

While Xu Yixue was studying in America, she had taken some courses in psychology, so she was able to discern the subtle differences between people’s expressions and language.

Right now, Shen Xiaomei’s speech lacked a worried tone, her eyes were evasive, not daring to meet Xu Yixue’s gaze, and her hand was unconsciously clenching her palm. It was clear that the words she spoke were not the truth.

Her resignation was definitely not because of some trouble at home.

“Director Shen, if you have any difficulties or unspeakable troubles, you can tell me directly. As long as I can help, I will do my utmost to resolve them for you. Even if your family really is facing some trouble, we at Xinghai Entertainment will not sit idly by. You just need to tell me the truth, why exactly do you want to submit a resignation?” Xu Yixue looked sternly at Shen Xiaomei and spoke word by word.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Xu, there really is trouble at home, so I must resign. It’s something I can’t help, and I hope you can understand, as a fellow woman,” Shen Xiaomei didn’t answer Xu Yixue’s pressing questions but insistently continued to put forward her resignation request to Xu Yixue.

“Director Shen, your capabilities are quite impressive, and at only thirty-two, you’re at the perfect age to achieve great things. Why do you want to leave the company? If you stay, I was already preparing to offer you the acting director position of our marketing department. If you do well, within three months, I will approve your promotion to the official director of marketing. What do you think?” Xu Yixue was also a bit unwilling to give up and patiently extended her olive branch to Shen Xiaomei.

However, seeing the firm expression on Shen Xiaomei’s face, Xu Yixue already knew that her mind was made up and there was no use in trying to keep her.

“Since you’re determined to leave, I won’t hold you back. I hope you can take good care of whatever’s happening at home,” Xu Yixue said slowly, shaking her head. She took the resignation letter that Shen Xiaomei had handed over, signed it promptly, and handed it back to Shen Xiaomei.

“Thank you, Director Xu!” Shen Xiaomei took the signed resignation letter, bowed, then turned and left without wanting to spend another moment in Xu Yixue’s office.

Watching Shen Xiaomei’s retreating figure, Xu Yixue had a sinking feeling that something was not quite right.

Cheng Kai and Shen Xiaomei were among the most senior employees in the marketing department. Even if they weren’t as strong as Cai Xiangdong, their long tenure at the company meant they had definite capabilities.

But these two, as if they had agreed beforehand, one after the other came to resign today, which was very intriguing.

When something is amiss, there must be a demon at work—although Xu Yixue wasn’t sure what had happened inside the company that led both of them to give up a generous salary and a readily available director position to insist on resigning, she faintly felt that this matter might have a significant connection to the previous marketing director, Cai Xiangdong.

“What could be the reason that led both of them to resign?” Xu Yixue rubbed her head, worriedly contemplating.

“Knock, knock, knock...”

There was a knock on the door again.
