Chapter 12: To Tell the Truth, No One Believes Me

Chapter 12: The Truth No One Believes

"Resign? Are you serious?"

Sang Ying hadn't expected Yun Zijin to suddenly bring up resignation. They had been getting along quite well, and she hadn't heard of this girl having any unpleasantness with anyone.

"Of course I'm serious. I'm writing my resignation letter right now."

As she spoke, Yun Zijin sat down at her workstation, opened a Word document on her computer, and began to write.

"I'll hand over the work I have on hand to you; it's not much anyway."

Their company was a design firm, and their main business was taking orders to produce design blueprints. Yun Zijin’s focus was primarily on landscape design.

"That doesn't seem right. We should wait until your resignation letter is approved before handing over work. It’s up to the supervisor to decide who takes over."

Taking on more orders meant more commission, but Sang Ying was afraid that if Yun Zijin handed the orders directly to her, people would start gossiping.

"Either way is fine. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll ask the supervisor later."

Yun Zijin continued to draft her resignation letter while she spoke.

Ten minutes later, Yun Zijin sent the resignation letter to her supervisor via the OA system.

Then, she began to organize her current workload. Projects that hadn't started yet, those halfway through, and those sent back by clients for revisions were all categorized and put in order.

Not long after, Yun Zijin was called into the supervisor's office for a talk.

"I told you to think it over carefully yesterday. Is this the result of your consideration?"

The supervisor clicked on the resignation letter Yun Zijin had sent.

"Yes. After careful deliberation, I have decided to resign."

"Can you tell me why? As far as I know, you get along quite well with your colleagues."

Yun Zijin’s ability was beyond doubt, and the supervisor truly didn't want to let such a talent go.

"I once kindly saved an old gentleman. He had no parents, no spouse, and no children. After he passed away, he left all his assets to me. When I received the inheritance, I realized that I could live a life of comfort just by collecting rent. Having suddenly received such a large sum, I need time to adjust. To avoid delaying the company's progress, I decided to resign."

Supervisor:...Do you think I believe you?

Regardless of whether the supervisor believed her or not, Yun Zijin had made up her mind to resign.

Besides, she was an intern; she didn't need to wait a month to resign. She could leave as soon as the handover was complete.

The supervisor had initially tried to persuade her to stay, but upon seeing Yun Zijin’s expression, she knew her mind was made up. With no other choice, she finally approved it.

"Fine, fine. Hurry up and finish your handover, then get out of here. It’s depressing enough just looking at you."

It was hard enough to find a promising talent, and now she was quitting after such a short time. The supervisor felt her heart bleeding and really didn't want to see the culprit, Yun Zijin, anymore.

"Thank you, Supervisor! You really are a great person. Once I finish the handover, I'll treat everyone to afternoon tea! Anything they want!"

Yun Zijin handed the supervisor a "good person" card and took the opportunity to suggest treating everyone to afternoon tea.

"Just go and finish your handover!" the supervisor said, annoyed.

Yun Zijin skipped out of the supervisor's office and very kindly closed the door behind her.

"How did it go?"

Seeing Yun Zijin come out, Sang Ying immediately leaned in to ask.

"Don't worry! I just need to finish the handover and go to finance to collect my pay."

After saying that, Yun Zijin picked up the various pending orders she had organized. "These are the orders I haven't finished yet. I've put sticky notes on them with all the important details. Sister Ying, you can pick the ones you want, and help me distribute the rest to the others. Oh, and I'm treating everyone to afternoon tea this afternoon. Could you please help me organize that, Sister Ying?"

Although Yun Zijin was well-liked in the company, she was still an intern; when it came to organizational skills, she had to rely on Sang Ying, a veteran employee.

Sang Ying gave Yun Zijin an "OK" gesture. "Don't worry, I'll handle it perfectly for you!"

Sang Ying quickly picked the orders she wanted from the pile Yun Zijin had organized, then sent private messages to a few of her close friends, asking them to come over and pick their orders.

Immediately after, she posted a screenshot of the menu from Ba Wang Cha Ji in the employee group chat (the one without the bosses), explained that Yun Zijin was treating, and started a group order thread.

"Done!"

"Thanks, Sister Ying!"

Yun Zijin gave Sang Ying a big bear hug.

"Honestly, I really want to ask: why did you suddenly decide to resign?"

Sang Ying had been holding this question in for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe... if I told you I got rich overnight and don't want to work anymore, would you believe me?"

Yun Zijin was telling the truth.

Unfortunately... no one believed her.

Sang Ying looked at Yun Zijin with an expression that said, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

"See? I told you the truth, but you don't believe me." Yun Zijin spread her hands. "Let me see what they ordered; I'll place the orders one by one."

Yun Zijin took out her phone, opened the yellow delivery app, and began ordering based on the names in the thread.

"How did you think of treating everyone to afternoon tea? With all these orders, you won't have much left of last month's salary, right?"

Sang Ying really couldn't understand how Yun Zijin, who used to be so frugal, had suddenly become so extravagant.

It was to the point where she didn't treat money like money at all.

"I told you, I got rich overnight!"

Yun Zijin showed Sang Ying the Piaget Limelight Gala series diamond-encrusted watch on her wrist.

"This watch of yours is quite pretty. What brand is it? I'll go take a look next time."

Clearly, Sang Ying didn't grasp what Yun Zijin was trying to convey.

Yun Zijin:...

"I bought it at the Jinsheng Mall across from our company. It's a Piaget women's watch."

"Oh, Jinsheng Mall across the street? Then I..." *Should we go take a look together after work today?*

Sang Ying swallowed the second half of her sentence the moment she realized what kind of place Jinsheng Mall was.

Jinsheng Mall—a quick mental check confirmed it was a place she wasn't qualified to enter.

Only now did Sang Ying start to seriously examine Yun Zijin’s outfit today: a Chanel-style tweed set, Valentino One Stud patent leather heels, the Piaget watch on her wrist, and the silk scarf on her head—if she wasn't mistaken, that was Hermès, right?

So, the bag she was carrying today was also a real Herbag?

That’s right, as a woman, Sang Ying had noticed the bag at a glance. She had initially thought it was a high-quality replica, but she hadn't expected it to be real!

"You... you were hiding your true colors!"

Sang Ying was practically screaming internally. This outfit, which could buy an apartment in a second or third-tier city, completely stunned her.

"I told you I got rich overnight, but you didn't believe me!"

"I believe you, I believe you! From now on, I'll believe whatever you say!"

Sang Ying’s living conditions were much better than Yun Zijin’s used to be, but she still couldn't bring herself to spend money on luxury goods. If she had several thousand or ten thousand yuan to buy a pair of shoes, she would rather spend it on a good meal.

"So, what are your plans after you resign?"

Although Yun Zijin said she had money now, Sang Ying still felt that a woman should always have a career of her own. No matter how it went, at least she wouldn't be wasting her time aimlessly at home.

"I'll rest for a while first and see." Yun Zijin wasn't sure if the system would have consumption tasks for her to complete every day, so she still needed to observe for a while longer.
