Avoid the Protagonist! - Chapter 229

Chapter 229: It turns out that she wasn’t able to protect her last loved one in this world (1)

“What’s the Chen family’s deal in J City anyway?” Xin Siyue asked this question carefully, worried that he would give the same answer she expected.

Fortunately, it wasn’t.

While bringing her downstairs, he said, “Well, it’s nothing big. We just have some power and some official positions. You know how the rules of the world are.”

“So that’s how it is.” Xin Siyue smiled. “Yeah, money and power are really handy after all.”

Chen Junxing looked at her and finally said, “If you ever need it, I’d be very happy if you asked me for help.”

“Thanks. I’m sure I will.”

Chen Junxing smiled. “Good. I’ll be waiting!”

After sending her home, Chen Junxing did not leave immediately. He looked up at the lit-up window upstairs while he tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel. Then, he took his phone out and made a call.

Xin Siyue packed her bags that night itself. When she went to work the next morning, she even prepared her resignation letter, waiting to pass it over when her superiors would criticize her behavior later. But unexpectedly, though she was in fact called to the conference room, there were a few familiar faces present besides Director Zhong, one of which was a fat face with bandages wound over his head several times.

Xin Siyue had the subconscious idea that they must have come to get her to apologize. But the scene was different. Everyone was all smiles and apologizing to her over and over again.

Xin Siyue was mystified.

At the very end, Director Zhong also smiled amiably at her, telling her that what happened last night was just a misunderstanding. If she received a shock from it, she could take two days off from work and that things weren’t very urgent.

Xin Siyue was simply dumbfounded. What’s going on?!

The balding chairman bent over and apologized over and over again. “I was really blind last night, Miss Xin. I’m so sorry for rushing into you! Look, this is all just a misunderstanding! If you told me earlier that you were related to the Chen family, then I wouldn’t dare to have any ideas even if you lent me some courage!”

“Hmph. You wouldn’t dare have any ideas? So are you trying to say that a woman without any money or power is fine then? You really opened my eyes today, Chairman Ai!”

“It was just a misunderstanding, Miss Xin!”

Xin Siyue sneered. “It’s no longer important whether it’s a misunderstanding or not. I think think that this is what J City’s TV station is like. Thank you for teaching me. Director Zhong, here is my resignation letter. I hope you can approve it.”

“It’s just a misunderstanding, Host Xin. Your resignation…I hope you’ll reconsider it.”

“Thank you very much, Director Zhong. I have already made my decision.”

Seeing her resolution, there was nothing he could do but approve of her resignation. Only, after letting her go, Director Zhong made a call to Chen Junxing.

Xin Siyue casually packed up her stuff and after returning home, she went to look at a house. She had already contacted the developer and settled the details with them. Even if she lost the job, she could still find a new one in J City as the development prospects in this city was quite promising.

After she was done checking out the place and feeling that it was to her satisfaction, she was just about to return home and give Mother Xin a call about the construction and designing of the house to see if she had any opinions before she signed the papers. But unexpectedly, she saw Chen Junxing’s figure as soon as she went downstairs.

He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, standing next to a silver car while his head was buried in thought. All the passersby secretly took a few glances at him when they walked past but he didn’t notice them at all.
