CHAPTER 1 - PAPYRUS WITH BITTER TEARS

It had already been a month since he'd handed in his resignation letter, but every time he saw the group leader Xu Tao asking about his resignation, she was always vague, evasive, and evasive, unable to give a clear answer to her resignation.

If the leader doesn't approve, then I have no other choice. Why don't you go and speak to the leader personally? Xu Tao knew how to hold back his opponents the best. The higher ups didn't have the time to entertain small employees like Ma Yu. When they saw their superiors, it was as if they were commoners seeing the emperor. It was difficult for them to ascend to the heavens.

However, what Marcie was determined to do, who could stop her? Moreover, almost everyone in the company knew the reason for her resignation. It was simply like catching his boyfriend intimate with another woman, a typical match between a real girlfriend and a mistress, but in the end, the other side was still better off than him.

Due to being on the night shift for so long, Marcie did look a few years older than her peers. She didn't have much energy, and her boyfriend had advised her not to work at all, so it wasn't a problem for him to raise her with his abilities.

What she always believed in was that a woman must have the ability to be independent. Even if her ability to be independent was a bit worse, but at least she couldn't be too dependent on a man financially, otherwise she would fall even worse.

As a result, Mazin and his boyfriend had begun to disagree on the matter of his work, laying the groundwork for a few more small frictions in the future.

The only problem was that it was a little bit bad. Everything was still a little bit strong, especially when it came to interacting with Lin Hua. For such a strong woman, once a man felt like he couldn't control her, or if he was with her, rather than having the feeling of being a couple, she would control him. It was very easy for him to move his feelings away from her.

From the crowd's perspective, they had long seen through the crux of the problem. Most of them thought that dating Marcie was a tiresome and tiresome task, and sympathized with her boyfriend. Therefore, they did not reject or insult her, but instead welcomed her with smiles on their faces.

The most important thing was that Marcie's boyfriend, no, her ex-boyfriend, was the company's leader, while Little Three was also one of his employees. They could be considered to be in the upper echelon, so did they not want to get a job if they did not greet each other with a smile? What a joke!

This is a good example, and a good example of digging your way out of the wall. In this kind of situation, everyone could only say that Marcie deserved it, but in front of others, they could only kindly advise. Forget it, a great leader like that was already out of our league, and if you were with him, you would also feel pressured.

Marcie wasn't a stubborn person. Wasn't the reason for her resignation for the sake of Lin Hua and himself? Otherwise, her existence would remind Lin Hua that his ex-girlfriend was one of the few employees he had. He would even question how bad his initial judgment was before he took a fancy to Marcie!

Marcie wasn't the type to run away from questions, but that was a matter of life and thought, and she needed a change of job, either in terms of her relationship with Lin Hua or in terms of her own health.

However, the Leader was not going to approve it!

Marcie's immediate superior was Lin Hua, she knew his temper too well, she threw off a girlfriend who couldn't get on the stage, he really wanted her to disappear right away, better to disappear from the face of the earth, so that everyone on Earth would know that he never knew a woman named Marcie.

However, there was always someone who didn't want to ride their horses and be at ease. Besides the three kings, who else could it be?

Wang Mi was showing off her spoils of war to Ma Shao. Lin Hua was more suited to a girl with a pretty face and a scheming mind who valued fame and wealth.

Actually, Wang Mi didn't need to demonstrate to Marcie what kind of status she was or what kind of status she had. From this, it could be seen how small her ambition was and how she couldn't tolerate a single employee who didn't pose any threat to her ever actually loving her spoils of war.

Desire was nothing new to Marcie. She had been very smug when she was in school, but people who were poor ended up with bad results. This Marcie knew very well.

There were actually two ways to leave the country. One was civilized, the other barbaric. Since civilization didn't approve, only barbaric could be used.

Martha put away her work clothes and all the other things she had to do with her work, intending to slip away.

However, this was how the heavens tortured people. They were frustrated in their love life, and they couldn't be happy in the workplace at all.

Lin Hua and Wang Mi, on the other hand, didn't have the time to look for trouble with her.

Hey! You've never been one to avoid problems, but you're getting more and more timid now. " Both of them had been competing ever since they were in school. Whether it was in school or in extracurricular activities, any competition that Marcie participated in, he would join in on it. He was afraid that Marcie would not know that there was a Prosperous Order in the world, a Prosperous Order that was much stronger than her.

What do you want? Tell the Leader? I think it's better to just take me back. Let me tell you, I've already prepared for the worst. Since I can't get out of this job, I might as well give up on my last month's salary." This was how it was with Marcie, her stubborn temper never changed.

Look, I haven't even said anything, and you're already in a hurry. Only this bad habit of yours hasn't changed! The words were obviously full of sarcasm, and it was obvious that he was trying to add insult to injury.

Looking at his expressionless face, Marcie couldn't help but want to slap him a few times. However, after thinking about it, since they were going to leave, she couldn't be bothered to argue with him any longer and turned to leave.

He left just like that? She knew that Xu Chang Feng wouldn't let her off so easily.

Then what do you want? What is it? Marcie asked him, trying not to be angry.

Xu Changlin loved to see her helpless look. He had been like this since he was young, and even now, he still enjoyed watching her.

He scratched his head. His face was full of indifference, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely emotional in the ears of outsiders. Since we were young, we've never been apart. Now that you've left, I'm not used to it.

Yes, it had never been separated before. She had followed him to this company, and not long after, he had been promoted to a position of the same rank as Lin Hua's other departments, which had forcefully disrupted his spirit. If there was anything, he would always stand in front of Ma Ping, constantly reminding her that there was an enemy who had grown up to be stronger than him.

Don't worry, with that bad temper of yours, you'll get used to it. He really didn't want to waste any more time talking to him. After being seen by Wang Mi, he couldn't even leave if he wanted to.

Hey, tell me, how about I resign and slip away with you? What the hell do you want? For fear that no one will find out about my escape? "

What a joke, Marcie was just a small employee, her escape would not cause too much of a backlash, the biggest reaction was nothing more than Wang Mi scolding her team leader. However, Xu Changlin was different. Once he resigned, the factory would definitely not approve of him. Talent was hard to come by, not to mention someone as talented as him. In this aspect, Marcie was pretty good. Personal grudges and grievances had never been mixed up together, and she had to admit that in terms of technology and management, Xu Changzhong had always been much better than her. She was convinced that he was in charge.

So, under the premise that the factory did not agree, according to the nature of the order, he would really do something to slip away. Once he slipped away, the factory would investigate the whole situation. If they found out that he had followed her there, don't say that Wang Mi was waiting to see a joke, she, Ma Ping, would become the laughing stock of the factory.

Are you sick!? If you want to resign, don't rush at this time. Are you going to embarrass me so that I can never get over it? Ma Ping was really worried. Why couldn't Xu Changzhong see him?!

He shook his head: You still can't stand a joke. I'm a dignified supervisor, how can I just give up so easily? You're overestimating your charm too much, I've followed you from primary school all the way here, even up to here, counting with my fingers. I've been here for at least twenty years, and I've already walked back and forth on the Long March a few times, but you've been pretending you can't see me. We're not children anymore. When we were children, the boys would play with the girls they liked and try to get their attention on her, but I was very stupid. I used this trick for twenty years, and you were mentally mature before me. How could you not know what I was thinking of you?

The veins bulged. She bit her lip, not knowing what to say.

Xu Changling liked her, but why didn't he just express his feelings for her instead of playing around with her?

If it weren't for Lin Hua's unbeatable cockroach spirit, which made her look like she was ridiculing and proud all the time, she wouldn't have agreed to be Lin Hua's girlfriend.

Now it was better. The joke had been seen by the others, but in the end, it had all been ruined.

Since they were going to leave, it would be easier for everyone to explain things clearly.

So what if you know? Don't tell me you want a girl like me to chase after you? If you were a man, you shouldn't have said such words. You've already been like this for twenty years. It's not like you don't know how many guys I rejected at school. A bookworm isn't a low level person in terms of EQ, right? If I can't see your sincerity, then don't you see why I rejected others? Now, this awkward relationship of ours has finally come to an end. I'll slip away, and you can continue to be cocky.

Marcie stopped a taxi, got in, and turned back to the warden. Take care, he said. Then he left.

Changzheng pursed his lips and stood watching the taxi drive out of sight and into the traffic.

CHAPTER 2 - DECISIVE SEPARATION

After so many years of arguing with her, there was only one final goal: to make her pay attention to herself.

But the goal had been achieved, and the opposite was true. She noticed him and hated him, and he wanted to confess to her, and this awkward relationship of hate and love confused him, making it hard to tell if Marcie loved him more or hated him more.

Only when Marcie left, letting him slip from his grasp again, did he exclaim, How can love talk without love? I should have known better.

Xu Tao had gone crazy searching for Marcie in his office. There was still work waiting for him in the workshop, and he couldn't find the Assassin here.

He didn't go to the toilet again, did he? Someone reminded him.

As a rule, it takes longer than normal to defecate, so when no one could find him, he said, Did he go to the toilet to defecate? In all likelihood, he would find her in the toilet.

Xu Tao's heart was beating like a drum. Ever since Ma Shou had submitted his resignation report and repeatedly urged him to approve time after time, and even threatened to use force when the time came, Xu Tao's heart was getting more and more anxious every day. Plus, Wang Mi was whispering something in Lin Hua's ears. He wouldn't let Ma Ping out of the factory, so he gave Xu Tao a death order. In any case, Wang Mi gritted his teeth and refused to let Ma Ping leave his post.

Now that the Marines couldn't be found, Xu Tao was more anxious than anyone else.

Ye-zi, go to the ladies' room and take a look. If she's here, guard the door and watch her come out. Then bring her to find me as soon as she comes out. Xu Tao was worried.

What if he's not here? Leaves responded with a question. Xu Tao was stunned. Not here? He forced a smile out of his face, How could I not be there? No matter how bold Ma Shao is, he can't possibly refuse a salary, right? No matter who you're going against, you can't go against the money …

The other members looked at each other in dismay. In the whole factory, only Maasai dared to go against money. Xu Tao understood the reality of the situation and waited for Ye Zichen to return with a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Indeed, Ye Zichen had returned alone.

Xu Tao's face instantly turned green. Where's Ma Ping? Where is he?

Leaves waved her hands and shook her head, No.

Is it really not fake? Xu Tao was still hoping for a fluke.

Ye Zichen rolled his eyes, I'm not that bored, what's there to joke about?

This time, Lin Hua didn't have much of a reaction to Ma Yu's departure in secret. Wang Mi, who was standing at the side, was not someone who was easy to talk to. However, since the person had already left, and he couldn't vent his anger on the person involved, he could only vent it on Xu Tao.

It wasn't that Xu Tao didn't have a problem with Wang Mi. Since the gap between their statuses was too great, he still had to rely on this job to support his family. Naturally, he wouldn't go against his immediate superior.

The mood was very contagious. The people in Division C had been in a terrible mood all day.

Who is supervising these products? Xu Que asked the shop foreman what the laboratory people were up to. It was clear that they were not up to standard.

It's Class C's Xu Tao. However, he only came to the workshop for a sample today. The supervisor replied honestly.

Where is he now?

It should be a laboratory.

Everyone knew that Xu Chang Ling was known to have a strong sense of responsibility in the factory. If there was a problem with the products he produced this time, Xu Tao would inevitably be punished. Criticism was secondary, and the most important point was whether he would be fired or not.

Xu Tao had long since heard the sound of the wind and inwardly cursed himself for being careless. At the same time, the grudge between Wang Mi and Lin Hua did not lessen.

Take a look and see if you can account for today's products. Xu Tao was called to Xu Changzheng's office. Xu Changzheng pointed at the sample on the table with a serious expression. It was a sign that the storm was approaching.

Xu Tao took a glance and lowered his head even more. Supervisor Xu, this was indeed caused by my negligence …

Not in a good mood? Why? Xu Que's words stabbed him in the head. Xu Tao looked up in panic and quickly waved his hands, No, no, there's nothing."

Then don't tell me you did it on purpose.

Of course not … Xu Tao quickly explained.

Xu Que's words always stopped people, no wonder that even when Ma Ping was here, he wasn't his match.

Xu Que looked at him and tapped the table with his fingers, No need to stammer. Someone has already told me that I am not in a good mood and have infected the entire class C as well. I think you really don't want a job anymore!

It's all because of that Ma Ping …

What happened to Martha?

Xu Tao had been scolded twice by the Leader in a day, so he obviously didn't feel good about it. He could not help but be on the verge of erupting when he was provoked by Xu Chang Ling.

That Ma Ping secretly left the office and didn't inform me beforehand. This caused me to be scolded by the supervisor, so of course I'm in a bad mood.

Xu Changling snorted lightly, Didn't she already submit her resignation letter?

Xu Tao thought that Xu Que didn't know about this. He didn't expect him to know about it.

Yes, yes, but the Leader didn't approve it.

Why not?

This … Xu Tao was a bit cowardly, but he wouldn't do something like that. This was between Ma Ping, Lin Hua and Wang Mi. Even if there were any rumors, it was spread by someone else, so it had nothing to do with him.

I don't know, I just told Ma Ping what the higher authorities meant, who would have thought that she would just leave like that? Great, now the leader blames me for everything …"

And you brought bad emotions to work. Not only did it affect the job, it also affected the mood of the employees. I don't care about the matter of Marcie leaving, how do you want to settle this debt? Xu Changjin handed over the initiative to Xu Tao.

Xu Tao didn't say anything for a long time. If he were to speak in such a frivolous manner, it would naturally be the Leader's turn to say that he could only wait.

Fortunately, today's products are not big, valuable products. Otherwise, even if I wanted to take them down for you, I wouldn't be able to.

Xu Tao understood and looked at Xu Que in surprise: General Manager Xu, you don't need to pursue the matter anymore?

Xu Changlin shook his head, It's not that I don't want to pursue the matter, it's just that the factory doesn't want to pursue the matter anymore.

Xu Tao understood the strong relationship between the two. If he didn't have Xu Chang's order, he would have been demoted at least, and at most, expelled and compensated for his crimes.

Thank you, Manager Xu. Thank you.

I don't want to hear you say thank you. I just want to know what happened when you were working on Martha.

Xu Tao stared blankly. It was Ma Ping again. Why were the two chiefs so competitive with him?

She is a very dependable person and does things seriously, but sometimes she just tries to be reasonable and can't change anything. Thus, she has offended many officials who are higher ranked than her, but there has never been a problem with the products that were tested by her …

Xu ChangLing impatiently waved his hand, I'm not asking about that. Between her, Lin Hua and Wang Mi …

This clear way of buying them out shocked Xu Tao quite a bit. It turned out that Supervisor Xu was also worried about Ma Ping. How come he didn't notice this earlier!

I'm not sure about that. He really didn't know. Basically, even Xu Que knew about it. Perhaps Xu Que even knew something that he didn't.

Xu Tao felt very embarrassed. He had helped him so much, yet he was unable to provide any useful information. After rummaging through his body, he finally recalled something.

Manager Xu, before she resigned, Ma Ping once said that after she resigned, she might take a break for a period of time. It seems like she's going to some Maldives? He did not want to be responsible for his own words. Recently, he had been carrying quite a bit of debt with him. Wang Mi, Lin Hua could be considered as a sum of money while Xu Chang could be considered as a sum of money.

Xu Que smiled and waved Xu Tao off.

Maldives? Would she be able to boast? He knew Martha's personality too well to waste money on a real luxury for himself unless he was very rich, and she was a model of the Fatherland for thrift, especially for the individual.

These words were said for Xu Tao to hear, concealing his determination to resign. Only by making his enemies let down their guard, would he be able to slip away secretly.

Ma Yu had played too many of these tricks, it was a pity that once his opponent changed into Xu Chang Ling, it would become nonsense, and there would be no effect of using any of his tricks.

After his affair with Lin Hua ended, he left his job and returned home with a bashful expression. He was already prepared for a heroic sacrifice.

His mother was indeed very open-minded. When she heard that she had broken off her relationship with Lin Hua and agreed to her daughter's decision without any objections, it was considered an agreement.

But you should never have decided to resign. Now that I've lost my job and my salary has been withheld, won't it be a waste of the dog-couple's money? His mother was a straightforward person, and her words were unpleasant to hear. These words made Ma Yu feel comfortable, but he still spoke with a civilized model, Mom, don't be so harsh with your words. If you die early, then you will die early."

I — pui! Mom spat at him, Don't talk to Mom about civilization. You're not much better than her at all. He was the one who was shameless. We've already split up and he's not allowed to talk about it. It's not as obvious as being a bodyguard. Listen to your mom. Call your boss and ask for two days off. After that, you can go to work. The staff members are there. Are you willing to start from a new person?

Ma Ping pleaded, Oh my god, I'm just a laborer. So what if I have more years to work? Since you are working under Lin Hua and Wang Mi, let's not talk about how upset you are. You should consider your daughter's self-esteem.

His father was unhappy on the side. He took off his reading glasses, opened the newspaper and interrupted, What are you saying? You don't seem to be a sentimental person. I've seen my father a few times when I've been home these past few years. Do you believe that I can count the number with a slap?

Martha knew she was in the wrong and did not refute.

You're still talking about self-esteem. If only you have self-respect. I'm afraid that you don't have it. You're always acting like you're fearless. How can you be like a girl? No wonder Lin Hua likes others.

His mother didn't like what he said, What do you mean, you still dislike your daughter? I didn't like her since long ago, she's not a person with a conscience. It's good for her to leave now. Anyway, you should stay home and rest for a few days …

Mom, I'll say it again. I've really resigned. All my luggage has been moved back. I won't go back even if I'm beaten to death. Martha reiterated her position.

Humph, just look. Don't you want to find a way to make me hate you? Are you going to rush it or not? Dad covered his face with a newspaper and looked at Mom in schadenfreude.

CHAPTER 3 - ENEMIES HAVE A NARROW ROAD

His mother's face was gloomy. Damn girl, you didn't listen to me. A few days ago, Auntie Du asked if you had a partner. I didn't push her then, so I agreed.

Mom, you won't let me go on a blind date, right? Martha looked at her mother with a wail, and her last hope was shattered by the decisive nod.

Why don't you go back to work? Mom never gave anyone any leeway to do things.

Inwardly, Marcie was determined to find a new job as soon as possible and move out, so as not to wander around in front of her parents and give them a chance to get involved in her marriage.

Alright, I'll go on a blind date. Marcie raised both hands in exaggerated approval.

His mother was disappointed. You damned child!

Lin Hua's mother was well-informed, so she called Ma Ping's mother early the next morning.

What's the matter with the two children? Why do they break up so easily? Didn't we already set a date for the engagement? Lin Hua's mother was looking forward to seeing the two of them together. She liked to be straightforward and straightforward, and hated to see the current pampered ladies the most.

Ma Yu's mother couldn't blame all of this on Lin Hua, after all, the two neighbors had to do it. Lin Hua, other than stepping on two boats, there was nothing that could make anyone criticize him for his character and personality.

I just found out, too. I didn't know why when Little Ping came back. The two children are already adults, so they won't be as incomplete when considering issues. Since they've already broken up, it means that the two of them really don't feel like they're suitable for each other. As mothers, we can't force the two children to be together, right? At this critical moment, my mother was wise, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Lin Hua's mother understood this, but she just couldn't bear to part with the horse.

I called that stinking brat Lin Hua this morning, guess what he said, that he's already fallen in love with someone else! This old lady is so angry." With her personality, it was no wonder that she liked a person like Martha.

Upon hearing that, Ma Ping's mother quickly pretended to be surprised. There's someone else? He didn't tell me when he got back.

Oh, it's been hard on this kid Little Ping. Lin Hua Ma's tone was full of pity, and then she started scolding, That Lin Hua guy who was beaten a thousand times was the same as his father. Watch how he takes care of him when he comes back, I, as his mother, will definitely vent my anger on Xiao Shuren!

Mother Marsha wondered if you were her mother or if I was her mother.

Even if he brought that fox spirit back, I would not agree! After Lin Hua Ma expressed her attitude, she straightforwardly hung up the phone.

Ma Yu shrugged helplessly at her mother, she was already used to it. Lin Hua Ma said that Wang Mi could do things and would make people happy, so she didn't believe that she couldn't win against Ma Hua. Otherwise, she would have a diploma in education, relying only on her face to achieve her current position — Lin Hua's secretary.

At the same time, it was like a race, Ma Sha and all the other mothers in the city
