Chapter 2 - Transmigrated into a novel (2)
The manager paused. Seemingly incredulous, the manager asked, "... What did you say?"
In his opinion, anyone in the company might resign, but he was certain that Ye Qing would never do that.
He had been in the workplace for decades and had seen countless employees. His judgement of people was honed to perfection.
Some people were ambitious. If they weren't given the treatment that matched their abilities and workload, they would simply change their jobs.
Ye Qing fell into another group of people. She worked hard, was steadfast in her role, and greatly valued past kindness. For a person like her, once she found a place, it was very unlikely she would move.
A few years ago, when she was even busier than now, Ye Qing was so tired that she was bleeding from stomach ulcers. Still, she insisted on going to work.
But now, although she had fainted and was admitted to a hospital, the doctor had said she was fine. How could she say she was going to resign?
The salary that the company gave Ye Qing wasn't low! Didn't she use up her savings to buy a house and furnish it? Where would she get money if she resigned?!
Ye Qing's tone remained the same as she repeated, "I said, I'm resigning." Her eyes were curved into smiling crescents.
An older guy, who shared the hospital room with her, had just come back from the doctor's office. Seeing her smile, his mind went blank, and he stood there stunned.
Ye Qing didn't have the body of a stunning beauty. Her beauty was simple.
But right now, her smile had the autumn sun's warmth. It was like a water lily that was silently blooming on the surface of the water after finally accumulating enough warmth.
On the other side, the manager finally reacted and started to persuade her.
His words were along the line of:
"Yes, it has been busy lately, but it'll be over in a month!"
"It'll be the end of the year soon. If you resign now, you won't get your year-end bonus. Your hard work for the year will be wasted!"
"The employment situation has been bad in recent years. It won't be easy to find another job!"
"The company is aware of your hard work and ability and will definitely consider giving you a raise in the future!..."
Ye Qing slightly smiled as she listened. She didn't get angry or refute him.
After the manager's mouth had become dry and he took a break to drink some water, she finally said, "I understand all of that, but there's nothing I can do. I decided to go back to my hometown to develop."
The manager almost couldn’t stop himself from spitting out the water.
During the project period, the company would triple the workload of the employees. And now, he had lost his best employee that gave the company the best value for her salary. He really wanted to vomit blood!

During the following half month, Ye Qing was preparing to go to the original owner's hometown "to develop".
First, she went to the company and completed the process to resign, then she put up a rental ad on the Internet.
The original owner's apartment wasn't in a particularly good location, but the rent in a first-tier city wouldn't be low. She was going to rent out the two-bedroom apartment for $4,500 a month.
The original owner's hometown wasn't well-known. A monthly income of $4,500 would be enough for her to live very well there.
Ye Qing was very satisfied with her new life. Dragging two suitcases, she went to the countryside.
She had come up with this plan one minute after she had gained the original owner's memories.
She was going to be a parvenu that enjoyed life!
She would rely on the $4,500 rent in the first-tier city to support herself in the countryside.
Anyways, she had enough money to feed herself and nothing to worry about.
She was a single person and had no plans on getting married or having children. In this world, she would live a leisurely life. Her goal in life was to wake up when she wanted to each day, bask in the sun, and watch dramas.
As for the mission attached to the novel's plot, sorry, she didn't see it.
