Chapter 121 I''s Resignation
Despite the frown on her face, Autumn made no response to Mr. Yi''s piercing sarcasm. When it came
to decision-making, she knew that Mr. Zhang had the final say.
"I!" Mr. Zhang shouted with a grim face.
I, who was just waiting nearby, came back quickly when she heard her name being called. "What''s
the matter, Mr. Zhang?" she asked, not knowing about the conflict that just happened.
"I, are you out of your mind? How can you rmend someone unreliable to ourpany?
Now, it''s either you tell your friend to cancel her job application or someone might beid off. Do you
hear me?" he eximed, clearly exasperated.
"What happened, Mr. Zhang?" I asked out of confusion.
She looked back at Mr. Zhang as she gave Autumn a questioning look.
"Excuse me Miss, is she your friend?" Mr. Yi asked I unexpectedly.
"You''d better keep people like her at a distance or else you''ll risk having your own reputation dented, "
he said politely, noticing how attractive she was despite being sharp-tongued and ill-tempered.
"Autumn has been set up, " I said, quickly understanding the reason for Mr. Zhang''s anger.
He must have heard the rumor that had spread in the whole advertising circle about Autumn. "I have
known Autumn for years and I can vouch for her integrity. She must have been discredited by others,
but she is thest person who can do such a thing, " I said, defending her friend.
"How dare you talk back to me! Do you really want to beid off?"
Mr. Zhang snapped, knowing that he would never have the courage to hire Mr. Yi''s sworn enemy.
"I''m warning you. It''s either she leaves or you two will leave together."
He snarled, pointing at I''s nose, "Didn''t you hear? Mr. Yi said that
Your friend doesn''t have loyalty and integrity! Ourpany has no ce for such a dirty rat."
"You.."
I, who was meant to argue for her friend, was stopped by Autumn in mid-sentence. "Forget it, " she
said.
She was merely trying her luck today, but it turned out she didn''t have much. Coming across Mr. Yi
wasn''t something she expected.
It wouldn''t be worth it to lose I''s job just for her sake. "I''ll just go, " she said, realizing that she could
do nothing about the current situation.
Before leaving, she caught Mr. Yi casting her a nce with a smirk on his face as if to say, ''You see, I
said you''d regret about everything''.
He continued to talk, putting her down with his words. "Miss Ye, I don''t think you can still build a career
in the advertising industry. You are lucky that you''re beautiful enough. You might be interested to apply
to the entertainment club that I just opened. Maybe you might find your ce there."
Mr. Zhangughed along with Mr. Yi as soon as he stopped talking. They saw Autumn as someone
hopeless who was left with no choice.
Autumn didn''t say a word. However, I couldn''t take it any longer. Taking Autumn''s hand, she turned
to Mr. Yi and said, "So you''re Mr. Yi? Has anyone ever told you that you''re ugly? In fact, you''re too ugly
to make money in any of your business ventures. I suggest you should just stay at home in case your
hideous face creeps people out."
"I, are you out of your mind?" eximed Mr. Zhang, taken aback by her words. Mr. Yi was one of the
major clients of hispany. He had always done everything to please him and treated him with
utmost respect. That''s why he couldn''t believe that I could talk to Mr. Yi in such a rude manner.
"You…
Get out of my face! I don''t want to see you anymore!"
He yelled at I furiously.
"Don''t worry. This will be thest time you see me."
I removed her employee badge, forcefully throwing it in Mr. Zhang''s direction. "You''re blind as a bat!
Thispany will go bankrupt sooner orter because of you. What''s the point of wasting my life
here? Goodbye! And just so you know, I don''t want to see you again either!"
She said as she walked straight out of Dark Blue Company along with Autumn. She had left the
Once they got out of thepany, reality dawned upon I. "Autumn, why did I be so impulsive?
Despite Mr. Zhang''s bad judgment, he offered a high paying job, " she said, starting to feel regret about
her decision.
"You have always been impulsive, I, " said Autumn, who had long gotten used to her friend''s
moodiness.
"Given the situation, I think you should wait for Mr. Zhang to cool down. Only then could you return and
extend a proper apology. Didn''t you say that yourpany is short-handed at the moment?
I''m sure he''ll forgive you and let youe back, " Autumn said, trying tofort I.
"No, I will never take back what I''ve said once I''ve made up my mind, " I replied, turning down
Autumn''s suggestion.
"He did offer me a high sry. But I think I will eventually fall apart working for that kind of person. I''m
not going back there since I''ve already resigned. Who knows? Maybe this is the universe''s way of
telling me that I should take a break from work, " she sighed, looking at Autumn.
"I think I can easily find another job even if I''ve decided to quit Dark Blue Company. On the other hand,
I must say you are in a rather difficult position…"
"It''s not a big deal, " Autumn smiled, trying tofort her friend.
"I''ve actually thought about what just happened recently. It seems like I''m not cut out to be in this
profession."
In reality, Autumn had thought about starting her ownpany. But she had alwayscked a start-up
capital.
"There''s no need to worry about me, really, " Autumn said, patting I''s face gently.
"Since you lost your job because of me today, let me treat you to dinner, " she offered.

"No, that''s not enough!" I said, "Now that you''ve made a good match and married a rich person, you
need to help me out when I can no longer support myself in the future. You will have to buy me dinner
not only for tonight but also for the following days ahead. Do you understand?" I said, pretending to
be serious.
"All right, all right. I get it. Stop teasing me, "
Said Autumn, torn betweenughing and crying.
I, who came from Hunan Province had always enjoyed spicy food. She chose the restaurant for
tonight. Autumn also liked spicy cuisine, but she found it hard to feel her tongue every time she ate out
with her friend.
Autumn kept drinking lemonade to cool down her mouth while I kept eating with much gusto.
"Have you ever thought about working on your own? Given your qualifications and your work
experience, I have no doubt you can do it, " I asked while they are eating.
She only had the chance to ask her now, but I had been meaning to ask her friend about this.
"I actually have, " Autumn replied with a faint smile.
"But as you know, my family condition hasn''t improved. My grandmother is seriously ill and I have to
pay her medical bills. I don''t have spare money lying around to help myself start running apany."
"But you are married to Charles Lu now. He can surely help you, " I said, confused. From her
perspective, setting up a smallpany was a piece of cake for such a wealthy man like Charles.
Autumn frowned slightly upon hearing her words, for they reminded her of the wealth gap between
Charles and herself. However, the very fact that Charles was far wealthier than Autumn had made her
more independent and stand on her own feet.
"I did marry him. But it doesn''t mean that I will be totally dependent on him. I''ve always believed that I
need to achieve what I want by myself. I also want to be able to prove to others that I did not marry him
for his money."
She had her own principles and values that she firmly held on to. A marriage that is born out of a happy
coincidence made her more keen to protect their love and their rtionship.
She didn''t want to be known as a fraud, fearing that others might use her that she was up to
something.
"I''m afraid that you might be thinking too much, " I said casually.
"You two are husband and wife. You can simply get rid of those worries if you willmunicate your
concerns to your partner. Live your own life and don''t let other people''s opinions affect
you."
