Chapter 55: The Warmth and Coldness of Human Relationships

3:00 PM.

Sunlight projected in from outside the glass curtain wall on the west side.

Many colleagues poured a cup of steaming coffee and began their daily 'fishing' (slacking off).

The entire office area appeared quiet and warm.

A new message suddenly appeared in the Technical Department's work group.

【Director-Chen Yunteng: "@Backend Development-Tang Song, officially resigning from the company today. Thank you for the efforts made in the past few months."】

At first, only a few people saw it.

Soon, the entire Technical Department office area became noisy.

"Tang Song is resigning!?"

"What's going on!? Didn't he just pass probation not long ago? Why is he resigning suddenly?"】

"Tang Song, have you found a new place?"】

"Could it be that the company is financing and wants to take action against our Technical Department?"】

"Want to lay off employees? Don't scare me, my wife just lost her job!"】

Tang Song's resignation news came too suddenly; it could be said there was no warning at all.

It instantly ignited this ordinary Tuesday afternoon.

Some cared about his situation, some were afraid of being affected, and of course, some were gloating.

Just then, the balding Director Chen Yunteng walked out of his office.

Everyone immediately closed their mouths and looked at their computer screens without squinting.

Chen Yunteng's gaze swept over Tang Song's direction, and his tone was flat: "Chaoyang, you first do the work handover with Tang Song. After the May Day holiday, a new colleague will join. At that time, you will hand over the project to him."】

"Okay, Director Chen." Wang Chaoyang hurriedly agreed.

Chen Yunteng nodded lightly and turned to leave directly.

Colleagues looked at each other instantly, all noticing that something was wrong.

Although Director Chen didn't say anything excessive, one could tell from his attitude and behavior that Tang Song must have offended him.

For a normal colleague's resignation, Chen Yunteng, as the director, would take the initiative to organize a gathering after work, drink some alcohol, and the like.

But this time, it appeared exceptionally indifferent, just simply arranging the resignation handover.

For a time, the entire office area became very quiet; no one dared to discuss this matter anymore.

"Ding-dong—" A message was received in the department's large group again.

【Director-Chen Yunteng: "Everyone, focus on your own work and don't let your imagination run wild. The company is in a period of rapid development, and the structural adjustment of major departments has already begun. The Technical Support Department will announce the specific plan after the May Day holiday. For everyone, this is a very good opportunity, come on!"】

After a while, colleagues replied one after another.

【Development-Du Shaokai: "Received! Come on!"】

【Frontend-Zhao Yue: "Received! (#Come on)"】

【Frontend-Hu Mingli: "Received!"】

This could be considered a reassurance for everyone; the company definitely wouldn't have any layoff measures, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Jinxiu Trading was a big company, and the benefits were quite good.

Many people had worked in the company for several years and had already entered their comfort zone, very worried about being laid off.

Scanning the messages in the group, Tang Song exited the group chat directly.

Then he exited all other work group chats.

Colleagues with good relationships would ask him from time to time why he resigned.

Tang Song didn't elaborate on the conflict with Du Shaokai, just simply mentioned the salary cut and layoff.

Before getting off work, HR Liu Huihui walked over.

Tang Song handed over all office supplies such as the company's access card, laptop, and mouse, and confirmed with his signature.

The resignation process was all completed.

He opened his backpack and packed all his personal items such as his water cup, paper tissues, snacks, and charger.

Looking at the empty desk, he felt inexplicably lost, but of course, he was more ambitious about the future.

"Little Song, let's find a place to gather." Guo Peng patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "I really can't bear to see you go. You're a good person and have good skills. If you leave, no one will help me watch the server when I take leave in the future."

Tang Song smiled at Brother Guo and stood up: "Comrades, thank you for your support all along. I'll treat everyone to a meal at Lanting Teppanyaki Buffet. Those who want to go, sign up now."

Hu Mingli hurriedly spoke: "Are you resigning or getting rich? The 299/person buffet is too luxurious. I say let's go to the Northeast restaurant next door for a pot stew; it's lively."

Guo Peng also followed: "Don't try to be brave, kid. You just bought a car and resigned. Are you not going to live anymore?"】

Tang Song shook his head and smiled: "There will be fewer opportunities to meet after resigning, so it's only right to treat everyone to a good meal. Don't worry, I still have this bit of money."

"That, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go." A colleague suddenly spoke.

"I promised my wife to take the kids shopping, so I can't go either."】

"I'm losing weight recently, you guys go. Little Song, I'll find you to drink another day."】

Others also followed by putting forward various reasons, refusing to participate in the dinner.

Zhao Yue hesitated for a long while and said apologetically: "Brother Song, I have a few bugs to deal with here. If I can finish them before 7:00, I'll go join you. But I feel it's unlikely. Eat well and have fun, take more photos and send them to the group, let me satisfy my cravings in the void."】

Her impression of Tang Song had just reversed. Originally, she was thinking of developing further, but she didn't expect him to resign and offend Director Chen.

Although she felt it was a pity, she still made the most correct choice.

Tang Song scanned the circle and found that most colleagues were dodging his gaze.

He could guess the reason in his heart.

The Technical Department's resignation dinner had always been organized by Chen Yunteng. This time he didn't open his mouth, which clearly showed that he had a big opinion of Tang Song.

Now was the critical node for the Technical Department's structural adjustment, and everyone had a chance for promotion.

If they were noticed by Chen Yunteng because of this matter, they might lose this precious opportunity.

Everyone was just a colleague relationship in the final analysis, and Tang Song had already resigned; they were unwilling to take risks.

The warmth and coldness of human relationships were nothing more than this.

Tang Song pursed his lips and smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter, those who are busy continue to be busy, colleagues who are going, get ready to set off."

Guo Peng closed his computer directly and stood up: "Go, go, go, I've always wanted to eat at Lanting Teppanyaki Buffet, today I finally got my wish."】

"I'm going too. I haven't sat in your Wuling Hongguang yet. We don't live far, so I can just hitch a ride back." Hu Mingli picked up her bag and waved at him.

Out of the 16 people in the Technical Support Department, only these two people were left in the end, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.

Du Shaokai waved his arm and said happily: "Old Song, don't forget to come back and see us when you have time! I will miss you."】

Wang Chaoyang, who was next to him, scratched his head and stood up somewhat embarrassedly, helping Tang Song pick up his lumbar support: "Tang Song, I'll see you off and help you carry some things by the way."】

He and Tang Song were colleagues who joined in the same batch, and their ages were about the same, so their relationship had always been very good.

Now that someone was resigning, even if he didn't participate in the dinner, he didn't even see him off; he felt bad in his heart.

Hu Mingli patted Zhao Yue on the shoulder: "Little Yue, aren't you going to see him off? He helped you quite a lot usually."】

Looking at Hu Mingli, then looking at Tang Song.

Zhao Yue bit her lip and stood up: "Then I'll go see him off too. I'll come back and fix the bugs later."】 ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
