Not Familiar

Xu Ming sat in the leather swivel chair behind the desk, looking to be around his mid-thirties or early forties. He had put on some weight, and his hair was thinning, making him appear quite ordinary, especially when compared to Shen Qian’s presence. He came across as a middle-aged man with a somewhat greasy demeanor.

After a brief appraisal, Xu Ming withdrew his gaze and said, “Manager Xu, I’m Shen Wan, in charge of Mingya.”

Xu Ming stood up, extending his hand with a smile. “President Shen, I’ve heard your name for a long time.”

Shen Wan shook his hand briefly, but the sweaty and greasy feel of the other person’s palm made her furrow her brow unconsciously.

“These are the documents that require your signature. Thank you for your help.”

Xu Ming gestured for her to take a seat and, after reviewing the documents, asked with some surprise, “Five people resigning simultaneously?”

Shen Wan nodded, maintaining her composure. “Is there a problem?”

“No problem, but… it’s quite a coincidence.”

“So?” She sat gracefully, flashing a well-timed smile, akin to a beautiful flower blossoming in a tranquil garden. Despite the somewhat distant space separating them, her composure remained unwavering and calm.

Listening to her speak was like taking a sip of iced tea, leaving Xu Ming feeling refreshingly cool all over, a sensation he couldn’t quite put into words.

He thought to himself, it must be the scorching weather; the heat was truly unbearable.

“According to the company’s established procedures, when an employee resigns voluntarily, the HR department must further verify their intentions before obtaining the necessary signatures. President Shen, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Following the rules is a matter of course. The last page of the documents contains the contact information of these five employees, for reference purposes only.”

“Alright, please wait for a moment, and I will make the necessary arrangements.” With that, he got up and left.

Verifying their intentions was not as simple as making a phone call. It required a professional HR administrator to communicate with the resigning employees, with the entire process recorded and documented, all in accordance with established procedures.

Due to the involvement of unemployment insurance payouts in this process, the security and authority of this procedure have been legally recognized and widely used in the HR management field of public companies.

As soon as Xu Ming left, the spacious office was left with only Shen Qian and Shen Wan.

One sat on the sofa, engrossed in the documents, while the other sat in a chair, gazing straight ahead.

Finally—

Snap!

It was the sound of a folder being closed.

The man stood up, walked over to her, leaned against the edge of the desk, crossed his arms, and said, “Aren’t you going to greet me?”

“…Brother.”

“Why didn’t you tell me before you came?”

“Why should I?”

Shen Qian lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over her left hand casually resting on her thigh. There was a prominent platinum bracelet at the wrist, with white diamonds refracting tiny rays of light, sparkling brilliantly.

His slightly furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, and his mood improved as he spoke warmly, “It’s your first time here, and 1 was worried you might not be familiar…” with being bullied.

He didn’t finish the last four words.

“Once I’ve been here a few times, I’ll get used to it.”

Shen Qian chuckled. “You come here once, and five people resign. If you come here more often, Mingya might end up completely empty.”

His words might appear casual but they were loaded with meaning.

Shen Wan raised her eyes and pulled a cool smile, her tone slightly sarcastic, “So, do you also think I’m the one driving people away?”

“Also?” Shen Qian didn’t mind her little temper at all; in fact, he was even willing to indulge her.

“Just now, I ran into Sister Ru outside, and what she said was similar to what you’re saying.”

The man’s smile softened. “Do you think I’m blaming you?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Shen Wan smiled and her lips revealed faint dimples. “I don’t care, anyway.”

Shen Qian was almost dazzled by her smile, and couldn’t help but soften his tone, “You’ve just arrived at Mingya, it’s not advisable to make enemies. 1 know you want to prove yourself with achievements, but some things don’t need to be taken too seriously..”
