Chapter 159 Everyone Has Their Own Answer to the Test of Love
Jiang Wan paused for two seconds, then returned to normal.
"I see."
"Thank you, Teacher Jiang, for your continued care."
"I will go to the studio tomorrow to complete my resignation process and hand over my responsibilities."
She spoke calmly, with a polite smile on her face, and showed no doubt about being dismissed.
Jiang Yubai was quite surprised.
Aren't you going to ask me why?
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes. "I can guess."
Jiang Yubai: "Although you've already guessed it, I still want to make things clear."
"It wasn't me who fired you, it was Shang Shixu."
"I admire your work ability, but I can't ignore his threats."
"Feel sorry."
Jiang Wan shook her head, maintaining her composure.
"I'm the one who should apologize."
"It's because I didn't handle my personal relationships well, which affected my work."
"Thank you again, Professor Jiang, for your continued care."
"I'm leaving now, goodbye."
Jiang Wan pulled her suitcase and walked into the crowd without looking back.

The Shang Group.
As soon as Shang Shixu left the meeting room, he took out his phone and called Jiang Wan.
It rang for seven or eight seconds before being answered.
"Are you home yet?"
"Still on the way."
Hearing that Jiang Wan's tone was normal, Shang Shixu realized that Jiang Yubai had not yet mentioned resignation.
He decided to wait two days to see what Jiang Yubai wanted to choose.
Shang Shixu finished thinking in the blink of an eye and spoke into the receiver.
"Then be careful, we'll talk when you get home."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wan leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
She didn't want to think about anything; she just wanted to go home.
Go back to your own little nest and get a good night's sleep.
That night, Jiang Wan sent Shang Shixu a goodnight message and went to sleep early.
The next morning, Jiang Wan had breakfast and then took a car to the studio.
The receptionist was somewhat surprised to see her.
"Wanwan? There's no meeting today, why are you here?"
Jiang Wan smiled at her, "I'm here to complete some formalities."
"What procedures?"
"Resignation procedures".
The receptionist was stunned. "You're quitting?"
Jiang Wan nodded.
The receptionist's eyes were full of incomprehension, and she couldn't help but say:
"Last time I heard the vice president praise your work ability and he was planning to offer you another contract after your current contract expires."
"Why wouldn't you take such a good job?"
Jiang Wan declined to say more.
"Something came up, I don't have time to work."
"Oh...that's such a pity."
The receptionist's tone was full of regret.
Although I didn't resign myself, seeing others give up such a good job made me feel like I was missing out.
These days, finding a good job is much harder than finding a good partner.
After saying goodbye to the receptionist, Jiang Wan went to the manager's office.
I organized all the work documents I had handled and handed them over to her.
The procedures were completed quickly, and wages were settled in accordance with financial regulations.
Jiang Wan walked out of the studio and took out her phone to check the time.
It's almost noon.
The sweltering heat of the sun made people lose their appetite.
She walked into a chain milk tea shop and bought a cup of grape juice with less ice.
After leaving the store, I sent a message to Shang Shixu.
【What are you doing】
A few seconds later, a photo popped up on the screen.
Several lunch boxes were placed on the coffee table.
He was eating.
Judging from the style of the coffee table in the photo, Jiang Wan recognized him as being in the conglomerate's office.
She called a car and located it at the building where the Shang Group was located.

office.
Shang Shixu put down his phone and continued eating.
After finishing their meal, they got up and went to the inner lounge for a short nap.
A dozen minutes later, Jiang Wan appeared on the first floor of the building.
She called Shang Shixu's assistant directly.
With their help, we made it to the top floor without incident.
Knowing that Shang Shixu had a habit of taking a lunch break at the company, Jiang Wan did not knock on the door.
The assistant used his access card to open the door for her.
"Thanks."
"No need, please go inside."
The assistant looked at Jiang Wan as if she were a god of wealth.
After helping him last time, the boss gave him a 20,000 yuan red envelope.
What's the difference between this and getting something for free?
I imagine there will be just as much this time!
Jiang Wan walked into the room, closed the door, and went inside.
The office was quiet, with several lunch boxes on the coffee table.
Jiang Wan walked to the door of the lounge.
Place your hand on the doorknob and turn it gently.
The door opened.
She slipped in silently, like a thief cat.
The man had his eyes closed and was fast asleep.
She placed the half-cup of fruit tea on the bedside table, and was just thinking about how to play a prank when she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and pulled toward the bed.
"what!"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she climbed onto Shang Shixu through the blanket.
I didn't scare him; instead, he startled me.
Indeed, one should not do "bad things".
This perfectly illustrates what it means to try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice instead.
"How did you wake up?"
I dreamt that you came to find me.
The man's voice was hoarse from just waking up, and this sentence was rather alluring.
Jiang Wan tried to move her body, wanting to get down, but he held her even tighter.
"I'm wearing shoes."
After she finished speaking, Shang Shixu picked her up and sat up.
He stretched out his long arm and unfastened the buckle on her sandals.
"Thump...thump!"
Two shoes landed on the ground in quick succession.
The man rolled her up and shoved her into the bed without a word.
The indoor air conditioning is set very low.
He held her in his arms, his voice ringing out above her head.
"Did you come all the way to the city to find me?"
"no."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Process your resignation."
Shang Shixu's body stiffened.
He immediately created some distance to observe Jiang Wan's expression.
His bright, almond-shaped eyes showed neither laughter nor the anger he had imagined.
There was only tranquility.
The calmness made him uneasy.
"You... knew all along?"
"Um."
"Jiang Yubai told me this yesterday after I got off the plane."
His tone was flat, as if he were talking about someone else's business.
Shang Shixu was filled with doubt.
"Aren't you angry?"
"I'm angry, but I don't want to argue."
A warm feeling welled up in Shang Shixu's heart.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Wan raised her hand and gently straightened his slightly crooked collar.
"This whole thing started because of me."
"If I hadn't been so safety-conscious, I wouldn't have drunk strong liquor, and none of what happened afterward would have happened."
"You quit my job, and we're even."
Jiang Wan paused here, met his gaze, and continued.
"But I hope you understand that it's my job, and it's my decision."
"I am not your possession, not your canary. I will take responsibility for myself. Don't make decisions for me without my consent in the future."
This approach was Jiang Wan's decision after she had taken a nap and calmed down.
She did not believe that the conflict between them was irreconcilable.
She believes that with more understanding and self-reflection from each other, this relationship can last and remain sweet.
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, the room returned to silence.
But neither of them felt at peace.
Shang Shixu couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
It's sweet and sour at the same time.
Just a few days ago, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Behind Jiang Wan's back, he threatened his cousin to fire her from her job, and felt guilty for several days.
They were prepared to use every means to coax people.
Unexpectedly, she reflected on her actions first.
Shang Shixu tightened his arms, pulling Jiang Wan into his embrace, and gently brushed his chin against the top of her head.
My nose felt a little sore, and my voice was a little dry.
"Okay, I will also reflect on my own problems."
"That's over."
Jiang Wan looked up and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek to lighten the mood.
"I didn't eat lunch, so my brother is treating me to a big meal tonight."
Shang Shixu raised an eyebrow. "Just a big meal?"
"I'll give you anything you want right now."
The man's burning gaze sent electric currents coursing through Jiang Wan's body.
She hurriedly got up, pointed to the fruit tea on the bedside table, and tried to make conversation.
"I brought my brother a drink!"
Shang Shixu sat up, glanced at the half-cup of fruit tea she was pointing to, and chuckled softly.
He grabbed her wrist and pressed it against her chest.
"Come on, put your hand on your heart and tell me, is this for me?"
Jiang Wan chuckled.
"If we each take half, our friendship won't fall apart!"
