Chapter 599 - Can’t Let You Go (1)
Yun Zhen wasn't expecting to receive such news from his grandfather. When Chairman Yun informed him about Su Jingyi's intention to resign, he was caught off guard. He wasn't sure how he felt about Su Jingyi leaving Yun Group and the possibility of her leaving Shenzhen for good.
This was the first time he had ever felt uncertain about what awaits for him in the future. He and Su Jingyi had known each other since their college years and he'd been accustomed to having her around and watching his back.
"I understand why Miss Su considered leaving. She told me that it's because of personal reasons and not because she didn't want to stay with Yun Group anymore. Did something happen recently?" Chairman Yun asked him, but Yun Zhen had no idea how to answer that question.
Did he miss something? Did something happen to Su Jingyi that he didn't know about? He wondered. He couldn't remember doing anything or any event that might upset Su Jingyi. There's also no major news about her family that would have forced her to leave Yun Group all of the sudden.
"Su Jingyi didn't tell me anything, Grandfather." He admitted, aware that Chairman Yun was looking at him with a questioning look. Everyone was aware of how close he was to Su Jingyi. It's a little far-fetched for him to say that he did not know Su Jingyi's reason forleaving the Yun Group out of nowhere.
After excusing himself, Yun Zhen stepped out of the Chairman's office with a frown on his face. As Su Jingyi's direct superior, why did she give her resignation letter to the chairman instead of him?
The secretaries stationed outside the Chairman's office scampered away out of fear, not wanting to be on the receiving end of Yun Zhen's anger. The news about Su Jingyi's sudden resignation had already spread throughout the company. Many employees were disappointed to hear that she was leaving.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99t-let-you-go-(1)_52181084892349779 for visiting.
Yun Zhen couldn't blame them. Although Su Jingyi had a serious and cool personality, she could easily earn the respect of those whom she worked with. He and Chairman Yun were fully aware that these people would rather listen and follow Su Jingyi's words than to listen to him. However, the woman wasn't ambitious enough to take advantage of this fact and her position to gain a better position in the company.
In fact, he would admit that Su Jingyi's assistance had made it possible for him to win against his other brothers to ascend as the Yun family's successor. Being with him for more than a decade, Su Jingyi should have been able to reach the senior executive level by this time, but she had turned down each opportunity to be promoted to a higher position.
He was confident enough to face every challenge thrown in his way and would only need to fight to move forward because he knew Su Jingyi was there to protect him from behind. Wasn' this why he came out victorious at the end of the power struggle within the Yun family? It wasn't just him who worked hard to reach where he was now, it was also Su Jingyi's effort.
Yun Zhen wasn't someone who doesn't know how to be grateful for someone's help. If one were to look up for the meaning of a delusional, ungrateful bastard, it will say Feng Tianhua.
This was why he wasn't pleased with what happened to Tang Moyu. How dare Feng Tianhua abandon the empress just like that? Even if they didn't get along, Feng Tianhua didn't need to back out from their engagement and try to destroy Tang Moyu's reputation.
Instead of going back to his own office, Yun Zhen made his way straight to see Su Jingyi. He found her with her head bowed down as she was still working hard as always. Didn't Su Jingyi know anything else to do other than work?
Yun Zhen was shocked at the thoughts that crossed his mind. He suddenly realized that he rarely saw Su Jingyi prioritize something that wasn't related to work. When was the last time she even took a long vacation? He couldn't remember.
Su Jingyi had been working with him for some time and she had dedicated a lot of time at work to help him at any time. She became a reliable friend to him all these years. She would usually be the first one he always sought out whenever he was facing a problem.
Had he really become so dependent on her that he couldn't imagine the days where he wouldn't be able to see her around? Just the thought of not seeing Su Jingyi disturbed him greatly.
There were only a couple of times that Sun Jingyi asked for day offs, and those were usually the days when she was extremely sick, forbidding her to leave her bed and go to work. Still, Su Jingyi would still be the one to apologize for being sick and causing inconvenience to her work colleagues.
"Is it true that you are leaving?" He said gruffly, taking Su Jingyi's attention.
Su Jingyi lifted her head to regard him briefly before turning her attention back to the doc.u.ments she was reading. There was no doubt that he came here to interrogate her for the reasons. She had mentally prepared herself for this, but seeing him in front of her right now made her wonder if he'd come here to convince her not to leave.
"So you've heard?" She replied. His reaction was what she had expected. The deep frown on his face told Su Jingyi that Yun Zhen wasn't pleased with her sudden resignation.
Yun Zhen walked towards her desk and hovered in front of her with a confused expression on his face.
"But why?" What made her decide to leave now? She had never given him the impression that she has had enough working alongside him.
But what if she really has had enough, how was he supposed to accept it?
