The man calling him “Xiao Qin” was younger than him and had joined the company under Qin Yun’s guidance—now, in a blink, he was Qin Yun’s superior. Where could he even find justice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once called “Brother Qin,” now he was just “Xiao Qin”—people truly were a strange breed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the nearby meeting room, the supervisor wore a helpless expression: “Xiao Qin, Brother Wang already told you, right? I never expected they’d lay you off. I pleaded with them, but upper management refused to reverse it—I did everything I could.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun frowned. Was this whole thing worth dragging him into a meeting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supervisor paused slightly, surprised by Qin Yun’s unusual demeanor. He gave a light nod and reached out to pat Qin Yun’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before his hand could land, Qin Yun turned and pushed open the door, his peripheral vision catching the supervisor frozen in place as a cold smirk curled his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, acting so high and mighty—thinks he knows a bit of tech and’s so special, yet still works under me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun returned to his desk, and several colleagues quietly came over to inquire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t hide it—he simply said he’d been laid off, though he didn’t mention the severance details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing up, HRBP came to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s the severance agreement. Review it—if everything’s fine, sign it. The compensation will be paid together with your salary on the payday this month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun carefully checked everything. Nothing else mattered much—he focused solely on whether the severance amount was accurate. He knew some companies used base salary as the calculation baseline, but thankfully, this company still had some decency and hadn’t pulled any tricks here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirmed correct, Qin Yun signed his name, returned his employee badge, then obtained a resignation certificate and income proof—just in case he needed them later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing everything, he let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before leaving, he sought out the employee taking over his work—a man chosen by his supervisor. Out of goodwill, Qin Yun explained potential issues the system might face, but seeing the man’s impatient expression, he could only sigh and shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system truly didn’t need more developers, but maintenance wasn’t simple—since part of it was built by him, he could handle it as easily as strolling through his own backyard, but others wouldn’t have it so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. I’m already gone—none of my business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man didn’t appreciate his warning, Qin Yun said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He packed everything, tossed unwanted items into the trash bin by the door, and felt noticeably lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldering his backpack, he bid farewell to a few people and headed to the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the elevator descended from the upper floors. The doors opened, and a familiar figure stepped out—when he saw Qin Yun, he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qin, are you on a business trip?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun smiled genuinely at the man: “Manager Tang, I’ve quit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Tang, full name Tang Kaihuai, was the company’s vice president, formerly in charge of business operations, and the one who had originally hired Qin Yun—he was Qin Yun’s mentor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quit?” Tang Kaihuai raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized—his face darkened. “You were fired?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Kaihuai had long stepped away from operations, so his interactions with Qin Yun had been minimal, but he still knew the company’s foundation rested largely on this young man’s work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is ridiculous. What’s Yang Xiu thinking? How dare they fire you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Kaihuai shouted angrily, his emotions flaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Tang, it’s already done. Besides, I was thinking of taking a break anyway. Getting fired means I get severance—it’s actually fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. You’re my hire. They fired you without my approval—this is just… just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tang Kaihuai spoke, he noticed Qin Yun’s mood was surprisingly good—he radiated an unmistakable sense of ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… really decided?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun nodded: “Yeah. After wrapping up a few things, I’m going back to my hometown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Kaihuai sighed, patted Qin Yun’s shoulder, and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Manager Tang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun released his grip on the elevator button, stepped inside, and waved to Tang Kaihuai in farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the elevator doors closed, Tang Kaihuai’s face turned grim. He stormed straight to Qin Yun’s department and began screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed viciously—especially Qin Yun’s supervisor, whom he nearly called a pile of shit—until the head of the business department arrived and redirected the fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Tang, the company can run without anyone. Cutting costs like this is necessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know shit. One-fifth of the company’s code was written by Qin Yun. When the system breaks and bugs need fixing, how the hell are you going to handle it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Tang, no need to worry. We have plenty of core staff. Qin Yun was just a grassroots employee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grassroots?” Tang Kaihuai blinked, then erupted again: “What the hell? He’s been here four years and still stuck at grassroots? Meanwhile, you useless sacks of rice and wine sit in leadership? Fuck…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Qin Yun learned the company’s system did indeed suffer major issues, causing significant losses—his supervisor was held accountable and fired outright, but that was all in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you’ve left, you don’t care about your former company’s gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the company and went straight back to his hotel, planning to stay there until he finalized his divorce with Song Ya, then return to Zhejiang—his next job could wait.\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-20T21:37:28.858Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a65f9d41e4fef461461f9def76aad23e3e546a5acba2601eec2f5f7b255683e8","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-4","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-2",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
