I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 254 - : Who is Zhong Xiaoyi Secretly in Love With?
Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Who is Zhong Xiaoyi Secretly in Love With?
After saying his piece, Gu Hanchen angrily pushed his wheelchair away. As he was leaving, he did not forget to come back and slam the door shut with a loud bang.
Seeing Gu Hanchen leave, Zhong Xiaoyi sniffed and silently let the tears fall.
Then the door opened again, and Zhong Xiaoyi saw Gu Hanchen come in with a hair dryer in his hand.
Gu Hanchen, seeing Zhong Xiaoyi shedding tears, said, “I really do owe you.”
Gu Hanchen took the hair dryer and started drying Zhong Xiaoyi’s hair. “You’ve got a cold, and yet you dare to go to sleep with your hair all wet? Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to get up for work tomorrow?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Mr. Gu, I’m resigning. I’ve already bought a plane ticket to Melbourne for the 16th of July. I thought, while there’s still some time, I’d go home and spend some time with my dad, then head straight to Australia.”
Listening to Zhong Xiaoyi’s voice, nasal from crying, Gu Hanchen asked, “Do you really have to resign?”

Zhong Xiaoyi nodded and said, “Yes.”
As Gu Hanchen continued to dry Zhong Xiaoyi’s hair, he kept ruffling her long hair, feeling more and more agitated, yet he didn’t even know what he was so angry about.
If it wasn’t for his injured leg, he really would have liked to go racing instead.
Zhong Xiaoyi took the hair dryer from Gu Hanchen’s hands, her fingers brushing against his.
Gu Hanchen withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, “Go ahead, just leave tomorrow morning! Australia is so great, just stay there for the rest of your life!”
Gu Hanchen was extremely irritated and wheeled himself back to his study to play some games, growing more and more irritable as he played.
Gu Hanchen then opened his email and started dealing with the backlog of emails.
In City A.
Yuan Xi went to the study after watching the two kids fall asleep. She was now in charge of the overseas business which mostly had time differences, and some early meetings were attended at night.
Just as Yuan Xi turned on her computer and saw that Gu Hanchen’s account was online and handling emails, she almost thought she was seeing things.
When had Gu Hanchen ever worked so hard?
As Yuan Xi was wondering, Gu Hanchen sent her an email.
Yuan Xi opened it to find a staff resume.
Just as Yuan Xi started to look at it, Gu Hanchen’s call came through, “Nemo, a British-born Chinese, was a senior of my sister’s, previously worked as president at SATAGAME, check if you want to hire him as the president of Mi Chen’s overseas department, he’s very capable.”
Yuan Xi said, “The resume is indeed impressive, contact him and invite him to City A for an interview. His name is quite unique.”
Gu Hanchen replied, “Okay, I’ll contact him. Oh, and the spokesperson for Forest Pursuit has been changed, just letting you know so you’re not caught unaware if it stirs up public opinion.”
“The spokesperson changed? To whom?” Yuan Xi frowned and said, “A sudden change of spokesperson will definitely cause controversy. Yan Ke was your choice, why the sudden switch?”
“If she’s unwilling to even shoot a commercial, then we don’t need a spokesperson. Zhong Xiaoyi will shoot the commercial instead.”
Yuan Xi said, “Why change? Inform PR first, so they can be prepared. If there’s a public opinion issue, they can respond immediately.”
Suddenly, Gu Hanchen asked, “Yuan Xi, who is Zhong Xiaoyi secretly in love with?”
Yuan Xi, taken aback by the sudden question, said, “That’s her privacy, how can I tell you?”
Gu Hanchen demanded, “Why can’t you tell me?”
Yuan Xi replied, “Why don’t you ask her yourself?”
Seeing Huo Shiyuan enter the room from the doorway, Yuan Xi said, “I’ll talk to you later.”
As Huo Shiyuan approached Yuan Xi, he asked, “Whose call was it?”
“Gu Hanchen’s, pressing to know who Zhong Xiaoyi’s secretly in love with.”
Without hanging up the call, Gu Hanchen said, “Yuan Xi, don’t tell me Huo Shiyuan knows who Zhong Xiaoyi is secretly in love with too?”
Coming closer to Yuan Xi and hearing Gu Hanchen’s voice, Huo Shiyuan replied, “Hmm.”
Gu Hanchen, irritated, ruffled his hair, “Why do all of you know and not me? Tell me quickly!”
Huo Shiyuan hung up the phone for Yuan Xi and looked at the resume on her computer, “Are you hiring?”
Yuan Xi nodded, “Mi Chen’s overseas department is growing, it’s better to find a professional manager. That way, I can have more time to spend with the kids.”
Huo Shiyuan paused and then softly said, “Xiao Xi, the kids have nannies, you don’t need to compromise for them…”
Yuan Xi responded, “Yes, but I still have the time difference issue here. We need a professional manager, and the kids are starting to recognize people. They cling to me whenever I come home these days. I don’t want their childhood memories to be of busy parents. I also want to continue working while being able to spend more time with them.”
Huo Shiyuan patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder, “Alright, go get some rest.”
Yuan Xi was truly tired. She followed Huo Shiyuan back to their room and soon fell asleep.
At two in the morning, Yuan Xi was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing.
As she opened her eyes, Huo Shiyuan had already picked up the phone from her pillow and answered the call.
“Yuan Xi, who is Zhong Xiaoyi really in love with?”
Hearing Gu Hanchen’s voice, Huo Shiyuan frowned deeply and immediately blocked Gu Hanchen’s number.
Yuan Xi asked Huo Shiyuan, “How can you just block Gu Hanchen’s number? What if there’s an emergency at Mi Chen?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “If there’s an emergency at Mi Chen, Special Assistant Wang can contact you.”
“What could he possibly want calling at two in the morning?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “He’s asking who Zhong Xiaoyi’s secretly in love with.”
Yuan Xi yawned and said, “This really is a case of lovers being blind, but if he’s calling at this ungodly hour to ask about Zhong Xiaoyi’s secret crush, it can only mean that he likes Zhong Xiaoyi too.”
Huo Shiyuan asked, “So are you going to tell Gu Hanchen?”
Yuan Xi shook her head, “With Gu Hanchen’s temper, if he knew it was him Zhong Xiaoyi was in love with, his tail would be up in the sky. If he really does like Zhong Xiaoyi, let him confess first.”
