Chapter 80: Ruoruo in Charge of an Independent Project

Han Yangting looked at her as if probing, then asked with great interest, "Pity me? Want to take me in?"

She shook her head in shame, then added, "We, we still have to sleep, sleep together, after all."

"Fine, then I'll sleep up here."

He lifted her quilt and lay down with her.

It would have been fine if he hadn't come, but once he was up, she didn't dare move at all, her body stiff as a board.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" he teased her.

"I am sleeping, but... Brother Han, you... can do whatever you want... tonight." She gathered her courage to say, then squeezed her eyes shut tight.

Seeing her so nervous, Han Yangting smiled helplessly, then stroked her head and kissed her on the forehead: "Next time, I'll definitely satisfy you next time."

Having said that, he got up and left her room.

After the door closed, Bai Shuruo finally opened her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

The New Year's holiday passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Shuruo returned to CG to work.

Having played by the seaside for over two days, she was very satisfied and very happy. After returning home yesterday, she had slept for most of the day, so she was full of energy upon returning from the break today.

What made her even happier was that the proposal she made before the holiday received unanimous praise from the Marketing Department, and the Marketing Department specifically requested that she be in charge of this project.

For a time, everyone in the office knew full well that not only could Bai Shuruo stay at CG, but she might also be made a permanent employee ahead of schedule.

Because of the previous examples of Zhang Liang and He Piaoxue, the other two interns dared not pull any more stunts.

They worked honestly and diligently, thinking that perhaps the leadership would see their good attitude and let them stay, or transfer them to other departments, as long as they could stay at CG.

Bai Shuruo was now also filled with trepidation; she was still an intern, yet she was going to be in charge of a project!

Being in charge of a project meant she had to select experienced employees to complete the design with her, face reviews every other day, and finally deliver a brilliant result.

Wei Zhuguan was also worried that Bai Shuruo might have difficulties, so he called her over: "Bai Shuruo, how do you plan to carry out this project?"

Bai Shuruo actually already had a plan in mind, she was just a little timid.

"I want to have Li Jie and Ran Xin assist me, and additionally, have He Jian serve as the technical consultant."

Wei Zhuguan leaned back in his chair and said: "No problem. Then how much time do you need to complete this project?"

"One month," Bai Shuruo said.

Wei Zhuguan shook his head: "Too long, I'll give you 20 days, get it done before the New Year."

"..." Bai Shuruo thought to herself: Are you bullying a newcomer, or testing one?

Never mind, 20 days it is.

She nodded, and imitating Wei Zhuguan's manner, said: "OK, no problem."

After Bai Shuruo went out, she immediately gathered Li Jie, Ran Xin, and He Jian for a short meeting.

Li Jie and He Jian were the type of people with strong obedience; as long as the department needed it, assisting a newcomer was no problem for them, but Ran Xin was somewhat unwilling and reluctant, dragging his feet for two minutes before coming in.

Bai Shuruo didn't mind; she knew she was a newcomer, while Ran Xin had rich work experience and strong ability, so she could only rely on talent to win him over.

She cleared her throat, clenched her fist tightly, and then feigned composure as she said: "Then let's start discussing this new project. The planning proposal for this project is like this..."

Gu Group.

Bai Shunan also arrived at the company.

As soon as she arrived, she started writing her resignation letter.

Although her contract had been extended by five years during the last salary increase, company policy stated that as long as the General Manager agreed to the resignation, the breach of contract penalty could be waived.

She also specifically added a sentence to the resignation letter that no breach of contract penalty was required and that the annual bonus should be issued as normal.

She was not willing to suffer even the slightest loss.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Gu Yunting finally arrived late.

As soon as he entered the office, Bai Shunan submitted the resignation letter.

"General Manager Gu, my resignation letter, please sign it."

Gu Yunting looked very unwell, his face dark the entire time.

While eating breakfast this morning, he had been lectured by Father Gu again, telling him to reconsider Bai Shunan, saying that Mo Wanqing was really not a good match, and even if they got married, they would sooner or later divorce.

Gu Yunting glanced at Bai Shunan's resignation letter, did not sign it immediately, but looked up at her, his eyes seeming to show a trace of reluctance: "After leaving Gu Group, what are your plans?"

Bai Shunan said: "Headhunters have always wanted to poach me; after leaving Gu Group, I can find a company with a higher annual salary."

"That's fine then." Gu Yunting then looked at the resignation letter again, and then added a note at the bottom: After resignation, this employee's year-end bonus shall be issued at three times the usual rate, and the non-compete agreement may be waived.

After adding this line, he paused again, and only then did he harden his heart and sign his name.

"Thank you, General Manager Gu," Bai Shunan said.

Having said that, she left the office without looking back, then took her personal belongings to the Personnel Department to process her resignation.

The people in the Personnel Department were quite surprised that Bai Shunan was resigning.

Such a capable Secretary Bai, with a high annual salary, why would she want to resign?

Looking at the note from Gu Yunting, it presumably wasn't because of any work errors, but something else.

Seeing Bai Shunan waiting on the side, aloof and cold, with a powerful aura, the people in the Personnel Department dared not be negligent and immediately went through a special process to handle her paperwork.

When Bai Shunan walked out, she looked back one last time at the Gu Group building; this was the place where she had struggled for 7 years.

She said in her heart: You must be well.

【Ruoruo, I have officially resigned this time.】

After Bai Shuruo's project started, she was so busy she couldn't even catch her breath.

Seeing the message sent by Bai Shunan, she didn't even reply in time.

She was thinking: Sister said she wanted to resign last time too, but she didn't succeed; this time, won't it be fake again? She couldn't understand her and Gu Yunting's situation at all.

It wasn't until she got off work that she opened her phone to reply to Bai Shunan: 【Sister, I'm sorry, it was too busy this morning, what is the situation on your end? How about I come find you after I get off work tonight?】

Bai Shunan was already at the bar, and seeing Bai Shuruo's reply, she wrote back: 【No need, I'm doing quite well.】

Bai Shuruo replied: 【Sister, if there is anything, you must tell me.】

Bai Shunan: 【I will, since you are busy, then work hard.】

Bai Shuruo: 【Sister, I am in charge of a project now; they said they had never tried letting an intern be in charge of a project before.】

Bai Shunan: 【My sister is indeed capable, then work hard, and strive to hand in a satisfactory result to those above.】

Bai Shuruo: 【Thanks for the encouragement, Sister!】

After chatting, Bai Shunan put her phone down, ordered another cocktail, and leaned against the bar counter to drink slowly.

Is it heart-wrenching?

It's not particularly heart-wrenching, it's just a sense of emptiness.

Just as she was drinking, a man came and sat down in front of her.

"It's you?" Bai Shunan straightened her body and looked at the person who had arrived with cold eyes.
