Chapter 1054 Individuals With Sick Family Members

Lu Jingyuan was informed to return to the company as there were some tasks she had to hand over. Although she did not want to go back, she agreed out of her sense of professionalism.

Upon entering the meeting room, she was surprised to see it filled with dozens of people.

At the front of the room was Nan Xing. The others included Jiang Zhe, the company's human resources department director, and many other senior executives.

She could not help feeling puzzled. Do I really need to hand over my work to so many people?

Jiang Zhe stood up and flashed a polite smile. “Ms. Lu, you're here. Please have a seat.”

Lu Jingyuan ignored him. That had always been how she was. No matter how high one's position was, she would not suck up to them. And now that she had resigned, she was even more indifferent.

Nan Xing glanced at Jiang Zhe, who left his seat and bowed deeply to her. “Ms. Lu, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my negligence at work.”

She frowned. What's going on? Does he have something to do with me getting fired?

The director of the human resources department also did the same and bowed to her, followed by the deputy director, head of the board of directors, board secretary, and others involved in her dismissal.

She watched them emotionlessly, her gaze icy cold. This scene reminds me of a wake at a funeral home. What's different is that I'm still alive. I'm not a corpse or a memorial photo, but a living, breathing person.

After each person had taken turns to bow, they fixed their gazes on her.

“Are you done?” she asked.

They looked at each other in disbelief, wondering if they had to bow three times.

“We're done,” Jiang Zhe replied honestly.

She promptly turned around and walked away, leaving the others stunned. She's leaving just like that? Isn't she going to say something?

Nan Xing quickly stopped her. “Don't go! We all know we made a mistake, so please don't leave, okay?”

“Whether you made a mistake or not, what does that have to do with me?” came her reply.

That left him at a loss for words. After a brief pause, he finally organized his thoughts. “Our mistake caused you to become upset and decide to leave, so how can that be okay?”

“I'm not leaving because I'm upset. They're the ones who forced me to resign,” she clarified.

“Yes, that's exactly where they went wrong. But now, they've realized their mistake. Give them a chance. Don't leave,” said Nan Xing.

“What does whether or not they recognize the error of their ways have anything to do with me staying or leaving? So, if they ask me to leave, I should just go? And if they realize they were wrong, I should stay?” she retorted.

Once again, Nan Xing was left speechless by her rebuke. He looked at Jiang Zhe. This mess is your doing! If you can't fix it, you can leave too!

Jiang Zhe was a sly man. He knew from the start that a mere apology would not cut it. Lu Jingyuan has a calm demeanor and a mind of her own. Other people's actions hardly affect her. Most importantly, it seems like it doesn't matter to her whether or not she works, so she won't let herself suffer any grievances because of this job. That's where her confidence comes from.

“Ms. Lu, if you're unwilling to forgive us, then the others and I will also resign as an apology,” he said.

Nan Xing quickly piped up, “See! Look at how sincere they are! If you insist on leaving the company, they'll all have to leave, too!”

Nonetheless, she remained indifferent. “What has that got to do with me?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. If Lu Jingyuan left the company, they would have to face Nan Xing's wrath. He had made it clear they could all go with her if they failed to convince her to stay, and they knew it was not a joke. He was definitely capable of doing so.

Even if they did not resign, their lives at the company would be incredibly difficult in the future. Her decision did not only affect herself but also the entire group in the meeting room. Hence, all of them agreed they could not allow her to leave.

They swiftly blocked the meeting room door, not letting Lu Jingyuan leave.

“Ms. Lu, my mother suffers from a leg ailment. I must keep my job. Otherwise, how will I afford her treatment? For the sake of my poor mother, please stay!”
