Being Reborn And Starting Off By Not Being A Simp - Chapter 23

23 Pocket Money of One Million Dollars

Liu Qing slowly calmed his emotions down.

After all, he had already died once, so he was better able to control his emotions than during that life.

In front of Ding Yun, he indicated that he had forgiven her for what she did in the past.

Then, after some persuasion by Ding Yun, he agreed to live with her in the future.

However, he still did not leave with Ding Yun immediately. As he had worked in this company for a few years, he would not be able to leave just like that. He would have to resign first.

According to the company rules, if a staff member left his job without resigning properly, it would be considered as an urgent resignation and the staff member would have seven days’ salary deducted from the final settlement.

Thereafter, if the uniform was not returned, another 200 dollars would be deducted.

He did not want to sacrifice that amount of money for nothing.

Ding Yun did not quite understand his concerns. “There’s no need to be concerned about that bit of money. Tell me your bank account number and I’ll transfer a million dollars to you now.”

Liu Qing’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not tell her his bank account number. He explained himself instead.

“It’s not all about the money. Firstly, the company has treated me quite well for the past few years so it’s not appropriate for me to leave without saying goodbye. Secondly, although it’s not a lot of money, it’s still my hard-earned money. I don’t want to just throw it away.”

He did not want to appear too greedy in front of Ding Yun. That would make her look down on him.

It would even make her wary of him.

Ding Yun thought for a moment and was not insistent when she replied to him.

“That’s a good way of thinking. Those who know how to cherish what they have will be able to enjoy it more. Then you tender your resignation as soon as possible. I can pick you up after that, or you can come find me.”

“I’ll come find you,” Liu Qing said.

They added each other on WeChat.

In the end, following Ding Yun’s repeated requests, Liu Qing took out his bank card. Ding Yun transferred a million dollars to him in front of him and told him clearly that it was meant to be his pocket money. He could use it however he wanted.

Most people had a limit on the amount they could transfer from their bank account, usually around 50,000 dollars.

Ding Yun was the chairwoman of a large company with assets worth tens of billions. The upper limit for transfers from her bank account was clearly not 50,000 dollars. She could easily transfer 10 million dollars in one transaction, what more a million dollars..

Liu Qing did not set up a text notification for his bank account because there was a charge for that service. He could not bear to pay the cost of a few dollars per month.

He thought that he could easily check the bank app whenever he wanted, so there was no need to waste the money.

He was too embarrassed to open the app when Ding Yun was still around.

After Ding Yun left, he waited another three minutes before opening the bank app and logging in to check his account balance.

The bank balance showed $1,000,000.91.

The amount of $0.91 was his previous balance.

After he got paid, he would transfer out the money, half to Alipay and half to WeChat.

Any amount less than a dollar would not be touched.

He suddenly had an additional one million dollars now.

As he looked at the number, Liu Qing’s heart pounded from great joy.

Even if he fell out with Ding Yun now, with this one million dollars, his future life would not be too difficult.

He could leave the one million dollars in a fixed deposit account in the bank and then return to the countryside to do nothing. The interest he earned on the deposit would be enough for him to maintain a decent lifestyle.

After looking at the balance and counting the number of digits a few times, Liu Qing put down his phone in satisfaction. Then, he pressed the intercom and called the team leader to ask him for a resignation form.

It was company policy to give advance notice for resignation.

Once the application form was submitted, even if the company did not approve it, the staff member could automatically leave the job after a month.

The team leader was a little surprised. “Why are you resigning on your first day back at

work?”

Liu Qing said, “I have a better place to go to, so there’s no need to stay here now.”

“What better place?” The team leader smiled. “Can you introduce me?”

Liu Qing smiled and said, “It’s not that easy to introduce you. I’m going to be a rich second generation.”

The team leader was tickled by what he said and he played along. “You tried to use the identity of an ordinary person to live among us, but you ended up getting cold treatment from us. So now you’ve decided not to hide who you are, right?”

Liu Qing nodded. “Yes, I’m laying my cards on the table now. I’m actually a rich second generation.”

The team leader laughed heartily.

After laughing, the team leader confirmed with Liu Qing that he was not joking and really wanted to resign. Then, he rode his bicycle to the management office to get a resignation form for him.

There were resignations in the company every month and they were all used to it.

Moreover, the team leader also wanted Liu Qing to resign.

This was because he had heard that the manager wanted to promote Liu Qing to become a team leader. The company only had two team leaders in the hierarchy. If they promoted a new one, then one of the current team leaders would have to vacate the position.

There was a fifty-fifty chance that he would be retrenched.

Now that Liu Qing was leaving, it was naturally the best thing for him.

Liu Qing took the resignation form and filled it up.

When he got to the column to fill in the reason for resigning, he wrote directly-I am going to inherit assets worth billions.

When the team leader saw this reason, he smiled and shook his head, thinking that Liu Qing was such a joker.

However, he did not ask Liu Qing to amend it. In the team leader column, he signed off to indicate his agreement and then he submitted the resignation form to the management office.

The form still required the approval of the head of security and the manager before it could be processed.

As for the exact date when Liu Qing could leave, under normal circumstances, he would have to wait until the company recruited a new staff member.

However, regardless of any delay, he would not need to wait for more than a month. Liu Qing was certain of this.

When Manager Zhou found out about this, he even came over to persuade Liu Qing to stay.

However, Liu Qing was already a person who was worth a million dollars, so why would he be willing to continue working as a security guard here?

He simply said that he found a better place and he did not want to be a security guard for the rest of his life.

The manager had no choice but to agree.

Liu Qing was informed that he could leave after seven days.

When it was time for dinner, Liu Qing did not go to the canteen.

XIao Wen sent him a WeChat message from the canteen. “I heard from the team leader that you resigned. Is that true?”

Liu Qing said, “Yes it’s true.”

Xiao Wen said, “But why?”

Liu Qing said, “I’m going to inherit assets worth billions.”

Xiao Wen sent an angry face emoji. “I’m asking you for the truth!”

Liu Qing said, “But this is the truth.”

Xiao Wen asked, “Why didn’t you come to the canteen for dinner?”

Liu Qing said, “I’m going to inherit assets worth billions. Why should I go to the canteen to eat? I’ll go out to eat after work.”

Xiao Wen immediately sent a drooling emoji. “Will you give me a treat?”

Liu Qing thought that it would be nice to have someone to eat with him. It would feel more lively and he would also have a better appetite.

Given the happy occasion, he should find someone to share it with him.

He replied, “You can come.”

Xiao Wen replied, “Then I won’t eat here If you don’t treat me later, I’ll beat you to death!”

Liu Qing said, “What a joke. I’m rich now. Are you afraid I can’t afford to treat you to a

meal?”

Xiao Wen had only taken two bites of her meal before she stopped eating. The chef at the canteen frowned when he saw that and thought that young people nowadays were really wasteful with food.

After work, the two of them made their way home together. Xiao Wen looked at Liu Qing with some resentment.

“Why the sudden resignation? Is it to get away from me?”
