‘Not taking leave? Are you paying me if I don’t take leave?’ Lin Shu thought.

Naturally, Lin Shu wouldn’t agree to that. He knew what Zhao Xuan meant. He wanted Lin Shu to give up on the eight days of leave and don’t be calculative about it.

That was simply asking Lin Shu to contribute to the company for free before he left.

The point was that he was a working-class man. Was he supposed to show love and contribute to the capitalists?

No matter what, it was absurd.

“That’s impossible. I still want to take my leave. It’s my legal right.” said Lin Shu.

Beep!

Congratulations! You have used the Meteor Chain-Sword of Refusal and wounded the Level 10 Gasbag. You gained 1,800 Exp. Points and 150 Gold Coins.

When Zhao Xuan heard Lin Shu’s words, his expression turned ugly. He looked at Lin Shu’s determined expression and saw that he would not be moved by his words. He also knew that Lin Shu had already asked to resign, and there was nothing that could make him hesitate.

After all, Lin Shu was going to leave. How could he sacrifice his own legal rights?

Of course, Zhao Xuan also understood why Lin Shu insisted on taking the leaves. There was also the time off that Lin Shu had obtained from working overtime on the weekends in the past. That was all Lin Shu’s sacrifice.

“The days of leave you asked it too many and I can’t make the decision. You should talk to Mr. Tian,” said Zhao Xuan.

When Lin Shu heard Zhao Xuan’s words, he was naturally very unhappy. Lin Shu thought, ‘What was there that he couldn’t decide? He was just deliberately avoiding it and didn’t want to approve my leave, that’s all.’

Lin Shu didn’t say anything and directly went to find Tian Cheng.

Originally, Lin Shu thought that he would be able to part amicably if he left and that it was very normal. However, when it came to some interests, there would still be some unpleasant friction.

Lin Shu couldn’t understand why the company had to keep him in the office for eight more days. He thought, ‘Was the company going to close down without these eight days of leave?’

Lin Shu was very unhappy and directly went to Tian Cheng to ask for leave.

In fact, Tian Cheng had already faintly heard the conversation between Lin Shu and Zhao Xuan. He knew that Lin Shu wanted to take his annual leave and time off before he left his job. That was understandable, but…

“Lin Shu, we’re really busy right now. Everyone’s still working overtime. It’s not good for you to take such a long leave.” said Tian Cheng.

The same line of text floated out of Tian Cheng’s head…

Level 12 Gasbag

Skill: Talks excessively about trivial matters, leaving people speechless.

Danger!

Level 12 Gasbag gently spat out emotional nonsense at you, trying to make you feel bad!

Lin Shu didn’t understand why he suddenly become so important at this time.

As if the world would end or the earth is destroyed in these eight days without Lin Shu.

Since Lin Shu’s resignation had been approved, there was no point in holding him back for eight days.

More importantly, Tian Cheng even said that everyone was working overtime and that they were all so busy. This made Lin Shu really angry, and it made him feel as if he had done something that he shouldn’t have done. This made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

What a joke!

Lin Shu really didn’t understand. He thought, ‘Who’s an advantage will I be taking during these eight days of leave? Was that really necessary?

‘Even if I took advantage of it, it would be the benefit that I had made for the company when I worked overtime.’ Lin Shu thought in his heart.

“Mr. Tian, are you telling me not to take leave anymore? Are you saying that I should burn the eight days of leave before I resign?” Lin Shu asked.

When Tian Cheng heard Lin Shu’s words, he knew that there was a hint of anger in his words. Tian Cheng couldn’t help but say, “That’s not what I meant. Why don’t you take leave for a few days lesser?”

“As long as the company is willing to compensate me as overtime pay, I can take a few days off less,” Lin Shu replied.

Beep!

Congratulations! You took one step back and counterattacked, dealing some damages to the Level 12 Gasbag. You gained 906 Exp. Points and 90 Gold Coins.

Tian Cheng didn’t expect Lin Shu to be so determined. His eyes fell on the commendation notice on the computer screen, and he couldn’t help but say, “Lin Shu, you’ve been in the company for three years. There are so many things to do now, so please understand.”

Danger!

The Level 12 Gasbag spat out two mouthfuls of blood-filled nonsense at you, making you feel disgusted.

‘Why do you want me to continue contributing after three years in the company? Do I have to sacrifice eight ordinary days of my life to donate to the company?’ Lin Shu thought.

‘F*ck!’ Lin Shu wanted to curse so badly…

Lin shu felt that he was betrayed by Tian Cheng as a fellow colleague!

‘Was there a need? Was it really necessary?’ Lin Shu thought angrily.

Lin Shu suppressed the anger in his heart. He didn’t want to directly fall out with them. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’m sorry, I don’t understand. If I could understand, I wouldn’t have left. It’s precise because I don’t understand and don’t want to understand the company that’s why I left.

“I don’t want to waste these eight days of leave. I have to take them before I leave.”

Beep!

Congratulations! You have used the stubborn Iron Headbutt with bronze muscles and iron bones. The unparalleled power caused serious damage to the Level 12 monster Gasbag. You gained 1,901 Exp. Points and 190 Gold Coins.

Tian Cheng didn’t expect Lin Shu to be so determined. It seemed like he had already made up his mind to take the eight-day leave.

To be honest, it was Lin Shu’s legal right to take annual leave and time off. Just like how Lin Shu had the right to resign. He just had to inform the employer 30 days in advance. However, some things were not that simple.

Tian Cheng could tell that Lin Shu wanted the eight days of leave badly. To Tian Cheng, the problem was that in addition to these eight days of leave, it included the weekends and Lin Shu would have to take 12 days of leave before leaving. It had been almost half a month.

This meant that he only needed to work for another half a month before he could leave and Tian Cheng was a little unhappy about it.

“Lin Shu, I know what you mean, but you have to think about the company. We’re busy right now, so can you hand over your work in half a month?”

For the sake of the company?

‘I’m just a normal employee. Why should I be considerate of the company instead of myself? I’m not the kind of servant who pities his master. Of course I have to think for myself.

‘I just don’t get why can’t I take eight days off? Was it that serious? Were my three years of voluntary overtime in the company, not enough?

‘For the past three years, I have worked overtime for a long time and I was not paid any overtime or time off. That was considered a lot of contribution to the company.’ Lin Shu thought.

Lin Shu said directly, “Mr. Tian, I still have to think for myself first. You can’t possibly let me burn those eight days of leave. I’m sorry. I’ve had enough voluntary overtime in the past three years. I want to take these eight days off very badly.”

Beep!

Congratulations! You cold-bloodedly and mercilessly use your sharp words as knives and killed the Level 12 Gasbag with one last strike. You gained 1,023 Exp. Points and 109 Gold Coins.

“Of course. Don’t worry, I’ll hand over the work before I leave.”

Tian Cheng was also a little annoyed. After talking for half a day, Lin Shu still wanted to take the eight-day leave. This meant that Lin Shu really only needed to work for half a month before he could leave. For some reason, Tian Cheng felt very unhappy.

While Tian Cheng was very unhappy, he was also a little envious.

‘Young people nowadays were really headstrong. They couldn’t bear to suffer any losses.’ Tian Cheng thought.

Tian Cheng’s face was gloomy as he coldly replied, “Fine!”

“Thank you, Mr. Tian,” said Lin Shu.

‘Forgive me for being a cold-blooded and heartless employee who wasn’t considerate!’ Lin Shu thought in his heart.
