Auntie Sun said, “Deputy Station Head Jia was so angry that he fainted.”
“Ah?” Zhang Ye blinked, “Really?”
“It’s true.” Xiaofang quickly mentioned, “His neck was crooked on his seat. Everyone was in a mess and they had to resuscitate him!”
“How is he now?” Zhang Ye asked.
“He’s alright. They pinched his philtrum and he recovered. I guess it was the shock.” Big Sis Zhou answered.
Soon after, perhaps the news of Zhang Ye’s return had spread. Zhao Guozhou arrived with big strides. “Little Zhang, get over here. Look at the big mess you created!” he chided. He said with a straight face, “Follow me. The station leaders are calling for you; explain it to them yourself!”
Zhang Ye reached into his pocket, took out a letter and placed it on the desk, “Leader, this is my resignation letter. I will not be explaining it to them, nor could I. I will not be working for them anymore. Please let them find someone else that is better!” Having said that, Zhang Ye started to pack his desk. A long-serving employee would find this troublesome, but Zhang Ye was strictly still in a probationary period. His resignation process was too simple.
Zhao Guozhou’s face blackened, “You are leaving, just like that?”
“Leader, honestly, I would like to not go.” Zhang Ye said so sincerely to Deputy Zhao and also at every one of his colleagues. He said, “Here, I learned a lot. My present results cannot be removed from the help of you, Director Zhao and colleagues Xiaofang, Teacher Xiaomei, Big Sis Zhou, Auntie Sun, Teacher Feng, etc. Although I came for just over a month, I have also grown attached to everyone. Who would want to leave unless it was a last resort? But the reality is as such. Everyone has already seen it. It’s not that I want to leave, but it’s the station forcing me to leave. As the saying goes, ‘while the dropping flowers pine for love, the heartless brook babbles on unrequited love’. I would not stay here, asking to be snuffed out!”
Zhao Guozhou exasperatedly said, “You are too rash!”
“I am not rash, Director. I have thought through it clearly and understand it very well.” Zhang Ye turned to look at his colleagues and gave a deep bow, “Thank you for everyone’s help all this while!”
Xiaofang’s eyes turned red, “Teacher Zhang.”
Big Sis Zhou and Auntie Sun also could not bear to part, “We really don’t want you to go.”
However, everyone was not surprised with Zhang Ye’s resignation. The station’s Leader had been too unfair with Zhang Ye and had gone too far. If it was anyone else, they would also go mad!
Zhang Ye smiled, “It’s alright. We can meet again when we have the chance.”
Zhao Guozhou sighed, knowing that Zhang Ye had made up his mind, “Alright, I’ll do the paperwork for you.” He brought Zhang Ye to his office. When there were only the two of them, Zhao Guozhou said, “You were brought in by me into this business, and I have always appreciated you. Now with things in such a situation, I am also quite at fault. Little Zhang. Hai, I didn’t manage to protect you, letting you feel wronged.”
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, “Don’t say that. You are my *. I will never forget this kindness for life. I know you did your best. You can’t do anything with the Station Leader’s instructions. Anyways, if there’s anything in the future, just tell me. If I have the ability, I will never refuse!”
Zhao Guozhou suggested, “Let’s have a last meal tonight with everyone.”
Zhang Ye waved his hand, “I think it’s best not to. My status now is sensitive. I have already offended the Station Leaders to such an extent. If they know that everyone sent me off, it will give trouble to everyone. It’s fine going off on my own.” He was very thoughtful, coming nicely, leaving simply.
…
Afternoon.
The resignation paperwork was done.
Zhang Ye hugged his stuff as he left the unit. Coincidentally, he met Jia Yan and Zhāng Yě, who had just come back.
Enemies see red the moment they meet!
Jia Yan might have already gotten the news, “Yo, leaving?”
“Zhang Ye.” Zhāng Yě stared at him, “I will remember today’s matters, and it will be for life. If we have the opportunity to meet again at work, we will square off!”
