Chapter 295: This Place Doesn’t Want Me

“Jiang Fan, think this through. President Yin and I are trying to save you. Just apologize properly to President Liu, and we can discuss compensation!” Li Muwan said grimly.

“Hah!” Jiang Fan sneered. “I already went easy on that guy yesterday. Forget the Liu Family of Chenel—I don’t even take Yang City seriously.”

“Oh, really? Very good!” Liujiang River chuckled. “Young man, you’ve got a lot of spirit. It’s been a long time since I’ve met a young man like you.”

Liujiang River’s smile didn’t reach his eyes, and his gaze was filled with murderous intent.

“Jiang Fan, you’d better watch your tone, or you can forget about this month’s bonus and salary!” Li Muwan huffed coldly.

“Bonus? Salary?”

“Jiang Fan, watch what you say!” At that moment, Yin Ruxue also spoke coldly.

Jiang Fan looked at the two of them. “I worked my ass off on that project proposal for you, and you’re just going to dismiss me with a single word? Is that it? Are you two really that scared of this Liu Family?”

Liujiang River turned his cold gaze on Yin Ruxue.

“President Yin, it seems Xuerong International is quite something. I suppose even the Eight Great Clans of Yang City are nothing in your eyes!”

“President Liu, you’re overstating things.”

“President Yin, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. In short, fire this kid, and I’ll let things slide with Xuerong International.”

“President Liu, let’s talk this over. It’s a fact that Young Master Liu was hit by our employee. Xuerong International will not shirk its responsibility for compensation. How about five million? It’s just a small token of my sincerity.”

“Five million? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?”

“This…”

“Furthermore, this kid must be fired. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Yin Ruxue’s expression soured. She looked at Jiang Fan, unsure of what to say.

Looking at the troubled expressions on Yin Ruxue and Li Muwan’s faces, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Forget it. President Yin, Manager Li, you don’t have to fire me. I quit. As for the salary and bonus, I don’t want any of it!”

To be honest, Jiang Fan was disappointed by Yin Ruxue and Li Muwan’s reactions. This was especially true for Li Muwan. She knew him best, yet she didn’t say a single word in his defense and even blamed him.

“Jiang Fan, don’t be rash!” Yin Ruxue said.

“I’m not being rash!” Jiang Fan replied. “President Yin, I’ve said it before—the only reason I joined this company was because of Manager Li. Since she clearly doesn’t trust me, there’s nothing left to say. I’ll pack my things and leave right now!”

As he spoke, Jiang Fan shot a fierce glare at Liujiang River.

Liujiang River’s expression was grim. He stared at Jiang Fan and let out a dry laugh.

“Kid, it’s good that you have the sense to get out on your own. It saves you from dragging down Xuerong International.”

Yin Ruxue and Li Muwan stood to the side, motionless.

“Good. Very good!”

“Kid, you just wait. This is only the first step. The matter with my son isn’t over. I’m giving President Yin face today and won’t make a move here, but… I will make you regret everything you did yesterday!”

Liujiang River threatened.

Jiang Fan smiled faintly. “Then we’ll just have to wait and see!”

Watching Jiang Fan’s retreating figure, the expressions on Yin Ruxue and Li Muwan’s faces turned extremely grim.

“Sigh… Jiang Fan, oh, Jiang Fan, you really are a huge idiot!”

…

After leaving President Yin’s office, Jiang Fan returned to his desk and immediately started packing his things.

‘Honestly,’ he thought, ‘I never expected Yin Ruxue and Li Muwan to have such an attitude today.’

‘Of course, Yin Ruxue was probably in a difficult position she couldn’t explain. After all, Xuerong International alone is no match for the Liu Family of Chenel.’

‘But what really pissed him off was Li Muwan. Not only did she not stand up to defend him, but she even added fuel to the fire.’

The more Jiang Fan thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Jiang, how did it go?”

Seeing Jiang Fan come out, Yu Xiaoyu was the first to approach him.

In the distance, Sun Yanzi was also staring at Jiang Fan.

“It’s nothing. I quit!”

“You quit? Jiang, weren’t you doing great? Because of you, we completely crushed Fengming Group. Your bonus was sure to be doubled! Why did you suddenly quit?”

“It’s a long story. Let’s just say, I’ll see you around.”

Seeing that Jiang Fan was already packing his things, Yu Xiaoyu quickly retreated to her own desk.

After all, no one wanted to get involved at a time like this.

Sun Yanzi, in the distance, had clearly noticed what was happening, but she didn’t say anything either.

“Alright, what is everyone looking at? Don’t you have your own work to do?” Sun Yanzi yelled at the gawking crowd.

Jiang Fan casually packed up his desk. He didn’t have much to begin with.

“Sigh. If this place doesn’t want me, another one will.”

With that, Jiang Fan left the company.

As he reached the ground floor of the office building, he happened to run right into Su Qingci.

Su Qingci glanced at the box in his hands, frowned, and asked, “You’ve packed your things. Where are you going?”

“I quit.”

“What? Why would you quit when everything was going so well?”

“It’s nothing. I just don’t want to work here anymore.”

“I saw people from Chenel arrive this morning. Don’t tell me you provoked them?”

“You could say that.”

“Honestly, that Yin Ruxue… No matter what, you’re an employee of Xuerong International. As long as you didn’t go against the company’s interests, she shouldn’t have fired you over this. How about I go talk to her?”

Jiang Fan was a little surprised to hear her words.

‘He never expected that the first person to show concern for him would be Su Qingci.’

“Forget it, this whole thing is a bit complicated,” Jiang Fan said with a bitter smile. “Besides, I didn’t want to work here anymore anyway.”

‘It was almost comical,’ Jiang Fan thought. ‘He remembered that when he first joined the company, wasn’t Su Qingci the one who wanted him gone the most?’

“So where are you going now?” Su Qingci asked.

“Where else can I go? I’ve been kicked out. I guess I’ll just head home for now,” Jiang Fan said.

“Then wait. I’ll give you a ride!”

“Huh…”

“What ‘huh’? Just wait, I’ll bring my car around right away!”

Jiang Fan wanted to say something more, but Su Qingci didn’t give him the chance.

He gave a bitter laugh and walked to the company entrance. A moment later, Su Qingci’s car pulled up.

“Thanks!”

Jiang Fan got in the car.

“So you really quit. What are your plans now?” Su Qingci asked as she started the car.

“What’s there to plan? Find a new job, I guess. A capable man can make a living anywhere. Do you really think I’m going to starve in a city as big as Yang City?”

Su Qingci suddenly said, “I have a friend who runs a security company. I think your fighting skills are pretty good. Want to give it a try? It’s a bit tiring, but the pay is great. You could make twenty to thirty thousand a month.”

Hearing this, Jiang Fan gently shook his head.

“Thanks, but there’s no need.”

“What? Is it too little? If you do well, you could make team leader or something. It would definitely be better than being a planner at Xuerong International. Forty to fifty thousand a month wouldn’t be impossible!”
