Chapter 16: What I Saw When I Left My Job (Part 2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The news of Cao Su’s investment in stocks had been circulating in the electronic product development department of Da Lan Corporation for the past week.

This statement was said by Cao Su’s friend, Jiang Wenxuan. At the same time, there was also the case of Cao Su throwing a million yuan in the bar as evidence. Shen Mingze and Tang Run were witnesses.

When the project manager, Yu Ping, wanted to “fire” Cao Su, so many people were in the office area on the fifth floor of the product department building.

The people from the other departments could just listen to their estimates. Cao Su had previously worked on the fifth floor. Anyone who had such a character by their side would find it novel.

There was a good show to watch!

Meanwhile, Yu Ping, the 32-year-old workaholic in the workplace, walked to Cao Su’s office in high heels and said sincerely, “Cao Su, the TD0017 project failed. As the project manager, I bear the main responsibility.

“I’ve already sent out the minutes of the project review meeting. I lost my temper because I was under too much pressure. It was wrong to list you as the second person in charge. I’m apologizing to you now. I hope you can forgive me!”

As she spoke, she faced Cao Su and bowed 90 degrees.

The 20-odd art design team members were all dumbfounded by this scene. “This… Can you believe it?”

The powerful project manager, Yu Ping, whose position was equivalent to the head of the product department, actually apologized to the company’s most basic employee, Cao Su, who was recognized as an honest man!

Cao Su sat in his office chair and watched the young woman in a classic black dress and white shirt bow and sell herself. He had a good view from this angle, but his heart was calm. He had already experienced too much in the past few days!

As the saying went: if you had money to be the main character of a video, you won’t have any left to buy domestic products.

Yu Ping waited for minutes. Seeing that Cao Su did not relent, the anger in her heart was indescribable, but feelings of grievance and fear immediately suppressed it. He had no choice but to plead, “Cao Su, you’re magnanimous, aren’t you? Please forgive me!”

She had no personal relationship with Shen Mingze. However, she had made several dates with the handsome Tang Run from the Material Management Department. Would she dare to count on him to keep her secret?

She wouldn’t dare.

“Nonsense!” Cao Su sneered. “And magnanimous?! How can you repay kindness with kindness? However, since you have not caused irreparable damage to my reputation and have publicly apologized, that’s it!”

Yu Ping heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She straightened up and said again,” Thank you!” She turned around and left, ignoring the commotion caused by her public apology.

Cao Su drove a red Ferrari to the company this morning. This made her certain that Shen Mingze was telling her about the “bar story.” Therefore, she decisively sent out the meeting minutes to eliminate the impact of leaving Cao Su behind.

Furthermore, she even approached the fifth floor to apologize in public.

Apologizing in front of everyone would definitely cause a storm. However, this Ferrari would also become the reason for her explanation to CEO Qi. She was just a middle-level manager. How dare she offend a man who drove a Ferrari?

In the office area on the fifth floor, no one expected that the so-called good show was actually the opposite! Seeing Yu Ping leave, the onlookers busied themselves. However, the aftermath of this storm would definitely be a shocker.

Cao Su sent Yu Ping away, but he didn’t feel any emotions. He had long expected to be able to resolve this mess.

It didn’t make much of a difference to him whether he wanted to settle it early or if he wanted to settle it after it blew up. He had plenty of time to play with Yu Ping!

Now, he could only say that this woman was indeed capable. She was able to make a living in the electronics department of the Da Lan Corporation.

After entering society, he would meet all kinds of people. However, he would never be someone like Yu Ping.

A real man had to do something! He could not bully someone just because they were “honest.” He could not let his knees go weak just because someone was strong. A person always had to have some persistence in his heart.

Cao Su packed his things into a cardboard box. When he was about to leave with the cardboard box, Mei Qian, the head of the art department, stood up with a smile and said from a few workstations away, “Old Cao, the team will treat you to a meal tonight. Our colleagues in the team will do it for you.”

Cao Su smiled calmly. Was Mei Qian shocked by Yu Ping’s apology? “I have something to do tonight.”

He sent Shen Mingze a WeChat message not long ago, saying they would go to the nightclub tonight. Originally, he was prepared to double Yu Ping’s strength.

Since the matter had been resolved, there was no need to go back on his word about treating. It was fine if they didn’t talk about Yu Ping. A week ago, when he received the Tycoon God System, he asked Shen Mingze what he would do with money. Little comrade Shen yearned to be a courtesan.

He also wanted to go and experience it.

Mei Qian was not discouraged. She had heard Cao Su say with her own ears, “Repaying evil with kindness. But how do you repay kindness? She continued to persuade him in public.

Old Cao, you’ve been working in the team for five years. Now that you’re leaving, everyone will send you off. There was still some affection. Everyone, do you think it’s a good idea?

A few young group members also said, “Brother Cao, agree. You taught me a lot of things after I joined the company. Let me make a toast to you.”

Cao Su smiled and felt a little emotional. He said, “Alright. Xiao Mei, you can make the arrangements.” Seeing that the little beauty in the group, Lu Zi, was also persuading him, he had also taught Lu Zi about work, so he threw a scan over.

[Lu Zi, age 22. Appearance 90, Body 95, Specialty 93]

This girl’s figure was outstanding! Bigger was always better. The system gave her body a score of 95 points. According to the specialty sub-category, she had a boyfriend in university, and the number of times they interacted was few.

‘I’m indeed a layman! My colleagues in the group are all inviting me to dinner and attending my resignation ceremony. I was peeking at the three stats of the little beauty. However, this feeling of stealing was quite exciting.’

Zhan Baiyu looked at this scene silently. No one knew what he was thinking. He stared at the computer and pretended to work seriously. From the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Su leaving with the cardboard box and heaved a long sigh of relief.

At a certain moment just now, he felt very depressed.

Cao Su placed the cardboard box on the floor of the small room at the entrance of the office area on the fifth floor and took his resignation application form from the exit of the printer.

At this moment, his phone rang. It was the intermediary who helped him register his company.

“President Cao, your new company, The World, has been registered. Shall we send you the company’s documents and official seal by express delivery?”

“I’ll send someone to get it from you.”

After hanging up the phone, Cao Su called Chang Ya from the headhunting company. “Ms. Chang, my company has been registered.”

“Congratulations, President Cao. I’ll arrange for an interview tomorrow morning. I’ll send you the information of the people interested in the assistant position this week. I did a preliminary screening. If you are not satisfied with any of the candidates, give me an answer before four in the afternoon, and I will remove them from the interview list.”

Cao Su: “Conline and Conjugation.”

“President Cao, what’s the name of your company?”

“The World!” Cao Su laughed.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a famous saying by Sima Yi was engraved on a silver coin: Clean up thousands of miles and unify the eight wastelands. Win over the hearts of the people and unify the world.

Zhao’er replied: If you can unify China, you can become a global hero!

He felt the Sima father and son’s words were so heroic they could reach the clouds. He admired them in his heart and gave his new company this name!
