Chapter 122 Resignation from Huo's
Half a month passed quietly.
Qiao Qin recovered completely, but a deep and long scar was left on her wrist, like a silent mark, quietly reminding her of the hardships she had experienced.
And Huo Yan has not appeared in the past half month. It is as if he has evaporated from the face of the earth and completely disappeared from Qiao Qin's life. He kept his promise to Aunt Song and set her free so that she can find her own sky again.
Qiao Qin's mood improved little by little, and she gradually walked out of the shadow of the previous period. The smiles on her face became more and more frequent and brighter, and there was a light flashing in her eyes, which was her expectation for the future and her love for life.
On the day of being discharged from the hospital, Qiao Qin followed Aunt Song back to the Huo family's villa.
Aunt Song's words revealed deep worry. She whispered Huo Yan's words: "Madam, the master said that this place is for you. He promises that he will never set foot here without your permission, so that you can live here in peace."
Aunt Song sighed, and couldn't help thinking that if she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place. They were such a loving couple, but now their relationship has become so strained.
What a sin!
A complex emotion flashed in Qiao Qin's eyes, as if she was gently touched by the ripples of the past. She responded lightly: "Well, I understand."
At this moment, little Huo Siqian, who was sitting in the baby chair, suddenly opened his tender little mouth slightly. Although the sound was vague and small, it was clearly transmitted to Qiao Qin's ears: "Mom - Mom -"
Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment, as if time had stopped at this moment.
She raised her head suddenly, her eyes flashing with undisguised surprise, and her voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor: "Baby, what you just said...say it again to mom, okay?"
"Mom - well -" This time the voice was clearer and louder, echoing in Qiao Qin's ears like the sound of nature. Every word was like a carefully carved gem, falling into her heart, sparkling with the light of happiness.
Tears welled up in Qiao Qin's eyes, and all the fatigue and pain disappeared at this moment.
She gently held Huo Siqian in her arms and kissed him lightly on the forehead, her voice soft but firm: "Baby, you are my most precious gift. You must grow up healthy and happy, and I will always be with you."
At this moment, Qiao Qin felt as if the whole world had bloomed the most beautiful flowers for her. She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead would be, as long as she had this baby by her side, she would have endless courage and strength.
......
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and cast patches of light on Qiao Qin's face.
She rubbed her eyes gently, as if to dispel yesterday's troubles. After sorting out her inner emotions, Qiao Qin asked the driver to drive her to the Huo's Building.
She has one very important thing to do today, which is to resign.
Qiao Qin held the resignation report she had prepared in her hand tightly and walked to the top floor of Huo's Building. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated, but her face remained calm and firm. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all her courage into her lungs.
She knew that this resignation was not only to stay away from Huo Yan, but also to pursue her own dream. Her experience abroad gave her a deeper understanding and love for jewelry design. Now, she plans to open her own jewelry design studio and turn this love into a practical career.
Qiao Qin stood in front of Huo Yan's office door, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door gently. She was ready to be troubled or even quarreled with.
however.
Huo Yan's eyes were deep and calm, like the calm surface of a lake. He stared at Qiao Qin quietly, his shirt buttons were buttoned tightly to the collar, and his well-ironed suit made him look steady and restrained, as if the Huo who had once been able to turn the tide in the business world had returned, and his innate arrogance and confidence once again enveloped him.
He spoke in a low and magnetic voice: "Have you thought it through?"
Qiao Qin nodded gently, as if every breath she took seemed heavy and difficult. She didn't want to say anything more, but just sat there quietly, as if all the words had been hidden deep in her heart.
There was a barely perceptible dimness in Huo Yan's eyes, but it was only a momentary emotional fluctuation, and was quickly covered up by his deep eyes.
He picked up the pen on the table and signed his name at the end of the contract. Every word sounded so steady and powerful.
Although he looked normal on the surface, the hand that tightly grasped the pen revealed his inner struggle and pain. He squeezed the pen so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into it.
The tip of the pen slid across the white paper, and the ink flowed on the paper, penetrating through the thin layer of paper and seeping to the back, just like his mood at the moment. Although he looked calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
A strange silence quietly spread in the office.
The air seemed to stagnate at this moment, even the dust stopped floating.
Huo Yan's eyes were as deep as the night, and he gently put the pen in his hand down, putting the final period on the contract. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Qin, his voice filled with fatigue and hoarseness that he had never noticed before.
"I wish you can be happy every day in the future. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me. My phone number will never change."
Qiao Qin's eyes flashed with complex emotions, as if she had gone through a long struggle, and at this moment, all the grievances disappeared like smoke. She reached out and took the heavy contract, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She sighed softly, as if she had unloaded all her burdens, and as if she was full of expectations for the future.
"The same goes for you. May your path be smooth and unhindered by wind and rain."
Then, under Huo Yan's gaze, Qiao Qin's figure passed by like a breeze. She did not look back, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in her steps. In a flash, she disappeared at the end of the corridor.
From now on, she is no longer the Mrs. Huo who is bound by the halo of the Huo family, but Qiao Qin, who has found herself again and decided to live truly for herself.
......
After leaving Huo's, Qiao Qin immediately devoted herself to the preparation of her long-awaited jewelry design studio.
With a limited budget, she only rented a small room in the office building. Although the space was small, it was enough for her to display her talents. This room might not be as spacious as her previous office in Huo's, but every inch of it was filled with her dreams and passion. This was her own little world.
On the road to entrepreneurship, Qiao Qin knew that opening a studio was not an easy thing. She had already selected a workplace, but still lacked some like-minded partners.
Qiao Qin pondered for a moment, then slid her finger across the screen of her mobile phone and opened the recruitment software.
At this moment, at the end of the graduation season, countless young faces are looking for their own stage. She looked through the resumes and suddenly, her eyes lit up - the design school next door was holding a lively campus recruitment fair.
For Qiao Qin, such an opportunity is like an oasis in the desert. The students in the School of Design are so talented that they are exactly the fresh blood her studio needs.
However, she also understood that, usually, companies that recruit on campus need to report in advance and obtain permission before they can participate. Fortunately, when she was working at Huo's, she had a brief exchange with the president of the college.
So, Qiao Qin quickly called the principal and told him her ideas and plans. After hearing what she had said, the principal appreciated her creativity and determination and agreed to add a spot for her studio at the school recruitment fair.
