Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

This night, Wang Xiaohua suffered from insomnia.

Uncontrollable thoughts floated up in his mind.

About life, about career, about love.

"Do you regret it?"

Wei Qian's words lingered in his heart.

One doesn't know from when it started, but Li Jianjia seemed to have become the same kind of burden.

Needing to take care of her little emotions at all times, needing to interact with her carefully and cautiously.

Never again like before, able to be that happy and carefree.

When the word "burden" floated into his mind, Wang Xiaohua himself was scared.

He felt a heavy sense of guilt.

He felt he shouldn't think like this!

This road was chosen by himself!

And he also knew Li Jianjia had depression; taking care of her emotions was only right and proper!

It's just that once this thought appeared, it was very hard to return to the initial state.

It's not that he didn't love, just that love became heavy, love became a pressure, a burden.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohua reported to Li Jianjia what he would do today, as well as the upcoming schedule, and turned on WeChat's real-time location sharing function.

This was a promise he made to Li Jianjia yesterday; he had to keep his word, otherwise Li Jianjia would have wild thoughts again.

Seeing Wang Xiaohua like this, Li Jianjia felt a little secretly pleased, but also a trace of guilt.

She herself knew she shouldn't be like this.

But sometimes she just couldn't control her own emotions.

She was too afraid of losing him.

Leaving aside Wang Xiaohua's side, let's return to Wang Erhai's side.

Wang Erhai arrived at the company this morning, and Liang Xinghua came to find him:

"General Manager Wang, I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?"

Wang Erhai saw Liang Xinghua's complexion wasn't quite right, so he knew it probably wasn't anything good.

Sure enough, Liang Xinghua stammered:

"That... I want to resign."

Wang Erhai was stunned:

"Uncle Xinghua, you're doing a good job, why resign?"

Liang Xinghua smiled bitterly:

"Ever since I came down from the Liguo Mountain branch company, I haven't felt right doing anything, let alone Huo Zhi Hui always giving me a hard time; many employees can avoid me, and work-wise they don't assign me tasks much anymore; I really feel awful."

Hearing this, Wang Erhai laughed:

"Isn't that a good thing? Not assigning you too much work, you can just take the opportunity to manage the New Era Restaurant in town!"

Liang Xinghua nodded with a gloomy face: "The principle is that principle, but I just feel uncomfortable all over; I want to quit the job and manage the New Era Restaurant full-time."

Wang Erhai, however, persuaded:

"There's no such necessity; business there isn't that busy. You settle your mindset. Here at Liguo Mountain, you get 8,000 monthly salary, plus five insurances and one fund. Now at the New Era Restaurant, after deducting all costs, the monthly profit in hand might not even be 8,000!"

Liang Xinghua, however, said:

"Doing nothing yet taking money, my conscience feels a bit uneasy! Others will gossip behind my back, saying I kept this job by relying on your connection!"

Liang Xinghua is just like this; if there's work to do, he feels he earns this salary with peace of mind, but now with little work yet taking so much money, he feels uncomfortable all over!

After all, he can't avoid people saying this and that, saying he shamelessly collects a salary, and he just happens to be a man who cares a lot about face!

"Let others say whatever they want; mouths are on their bodies, we can't control it! Once the money is in your own hands, it's yours! Listen to me, don't impulsively resign! If the New Era Restaurant gets too busy, just let your wife manage it!"

Wang Erhai said this for Liang Xinghua's own good; that's why he patiently persuaded so much.

For anyone else, he wouldn't waste his breath; he'd probably just approve it directly.

Liang Xinghua, however, said:

"Lan Menglian won't do; she fails at everything she does. Besides, we haven't remarried; that restaurant was given to me by you, I don't want her to ruin it!"

Actually, it's that Liang Xinghua doesn't trust Lan Menglian anymore.

As long as it involves money, he doesn't want Lan Menglian to interfere.

If Lan Menglian manages the New Era Restaurant, she'd inevitably need to handle the accounts.

And this is what he's most unwilling to see.

If one day Lan Menglian takes the money from the New Era Restaurant and goes off to do some online investment, losing it all, wouldn't he be angered to death?

"Then just hire someone to manage the restaurant; there's really no need to resign from here. As long as you don't resign voluntarily, you can steadily collect 8,000 monthly salary. With me protecting you, no one can touch you!"

This is the honest truth from Wang Erhai; even if Huo Zhi Hui wants to kick Liang Xinghua out, he still has to give Wang Erhai three parts of thin face!

So the current situation is already the worst; there won't be a worse situation!

Liang Xinghua being marginalized was actually predictable ever since he stepped down from the branch company's top position. In Wang Erhai's view, Liang Xinghua just needs to clock in and out on time, and not think about those random things.

It's just a pity that Liang Xinghua cannot achieve this!

He lacks the ability, and he also lacks this composure!

Having once climbed to such a high position in one go, now being made to become a low-level employee again — this is like a mortal who once ascended to become an immortal, then was demoted back to a mortal!

The blow to his mindset is extremely great!

If he had never seen the light, he would definitely be able to endure the darkness!

Back then, even with a monthly salary of three thousand, he could bury his head and work bitterly!

Now, how come he can't handle this leisurely job with a monthly salary of eight thousand?

The problem lies in letting him see the light, taste the sweetness!

His mindset can never go back!

This is a kind of torture to his spirit, a kind of torment!

So he would rather resign than stay at Liguo Mountain any longer!

"General Manager Wang, thank you for saying so much to me, but I really can't stay anymore!"

Liang Xinghua looked at Wang Erhai, his eyes carrying pleading.

He hoped Wang Erhai would let him leave.

Wang Erhai sighed, continuing to persuade patiently:

"You must think clearly. Now the company's systems are increasingly complete, not like when it was just established where things were casual. If you resign and leave, wanting to return to Liguo Mountain again won't be that easy!"

Liang Xinghua then said:

"I plan to devote myself wholeheartedly to New Era Restaurant from now on, and won't return to Liguo Mountain again. Thank you, General Manager Wang, for giving me the opportunity before, and thank you, General Manager Wang, for transferring New Era Restaurant to me for free!"

Wang Erhai saw Liang Xinghua so determined, and knew he could no longer retain Liang Xinghua.

So in the end he could only say:

"Alright then, write a resignation application, I'll approve it for you in a moment."

Liang Xinghua hurriedly said:

"Thank you, General Manager Wang! Then when can I leave?"

Wang Erhai saw Liang Xinghua's expression of such urgency to leave, and said:

"Follow the procedure. Resignation requires one month's advance application, but since you're in a rush to leave, I'll give Huo Guoqiang a heads-up on my end, and you probably won't need to come to work tomorrow."
