Chapter 924: I Quit, Is That Okay?

What gives you the right to go back and forth with me?

Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao aren't staff under my command.

But you, Qin Chuan, you're eating my food.

Is that any way to talk to your boss? Every time the boss says something, you fire back.

You eat my rice and smash my pot.

So, the words that followed from Gao Yang were dripping with venom.

The thing Qin Chuan hated most was having others attack, belittle, and doubt his dreams of making money.

Now, Gao Yang's final remarks were like dropping an atomic bomb.

They made him so furious his face turned red and his neck bulged with veins.

Finally, when Gao Yang said, "Honestly, I'm thinking about firing you. After all, you've been with us this long, your work attitude keeps getting worse, and you keep slacking off more and more. Might as well cut you loose and hire someone cheaper to save us some money."

Little did Gao Yang expect that this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Qin Chuan, whose face was already flushed with rage, could no longer hold it in. He shot up from his seat while slamming his chopsticks hard onto the table.

Then, pointing at Gao Yang across the table, he shouted furiously:

"Gao Yang, who do you think you're fooling with that act?"

"Who the hell do you think you are? You want to fire me?"

"In this team, Zhang Xue is the real boss! Not you!"

"Besides, you said I couldn't even make five thousand a month out there."

"What about you?"

"If you went out, you with your crappy liberal arts master's degree, could you even make fifteen thousand a month?"

"Isn't it just luck that you found yourself a good girlfriend and became an internet celebrity?"

"Let me tell you something!"

"Without Zhang Xue, you're absolutely nothing!"

"I've been putting up with you for a long time!"

Qin Chuan had completely snapped, letting out everything he'd been holding inside.

After hearing Qin Chuan's heartfelt outburst.

Gao Yang was stunned on the spot.

He sat there in silence for a long time.

Unsure whether he was shocked that Qin Chuan harbored such deep resentment toward him, or shocked by the content of those words.

But regardless, Gao Yang was deeply wounded by what was said.

After being hit like that.

Gao Yang immediately exploded with rage.

He was a man who cared a lot about his pride. How dare a mere hired hand speak to him like that?

Especially the constant claims that without Zhang Xue, he was nothing.

That was outright denying his own abilities!!!

"Heh heh heh, fine, you're really something, aren't you? So you've been looking down on me all along, harboring this much resentment toward me?"

"Without Zhang Xue, I'm nothing?"

"Do you have any idea how much effort I've put in to get Zhang Xue where she is today?"

"How many video ideas have I provided? I handle the filming, the editing, all kinds of work?"

"And now you say this to me, basically insulting me as some kept pretty boy living off a woman!!!"

Gao Yang pointed at Qin Chuan: "Qin Chuan, I hereby announce that you're fired!"

"I'll give you travel money and gas money. Go on back! Don't bother coming to work anymore!!!!"

Qin Chuan gritted his teeth: "I already told you! You're not the boss! You have no right to fire me!!!"

Gao Yang said "Fine" three times in a row: "Fine, fine, fine!"

"Since you say that, I'll have Zhang Xue fire you!"

"Zhang Xue, you tell him!"

Zhang Xue, who was sitting there, now wore a face full of distress: "Can you two please stop arguing?"

"The fact that I have over two million followers today is thanks to everyone's hard work."

"Everyone has contributed. I hope we can all keep working together!"

Gao Yang fumed: "So what you're saying is, you're not going to fire him?"

Zhang Xue said, "You can't just fire someone over a single argument, right?"

"Besides, arguments between friends and colleagues are completely normal."

Gao Yang slammed both hands hard on the table.

A loud bang echoed through the room.

It startled Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao over there, who were busy following the drama.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"After what he said to me, this team of ours will eventually run into more conflicts because of this!"

"So, Zhang Xue, you make the call!"

"It's either him or me! Either me or him!!!"

Zhang Xue was extremely torn.

Over there, Zhao Yiwan also didn't know whether she should speak up, or how to even say anything.

In the end, it was Qin Chuan who slammed the table, pulling everyone's attention back.

"Gao Yang, stop making things difficult for Zhang Xue!"

"Are you even a man?!"

"I'll leave on my own. I quit."

Qin Chuan turned his head, looked around himself, and saw there was nothing he needed to grab, just his phone.

He then strode toward the door of the private room.

Turning back one last time, his final words weren't directed at anyone else, but at Zhang Xue:

"Zhang Xue, I advise you to break up with Gao Yang."

"This man is far too arrogant, and he has a very strong controlling streak."

"If you stay with him, you have no future."

With that said, Qin Chuan slammed the door shut with a bang and walked away.

"Damn you! You worthless gambling addict!"

After Qin Chuan closed the door, Gao Yang hurled a bottle of beer from the table toward where Qin Chuan had left.

Seeing this, Jiang Ran thought to himself, "You wait until he's gone to throw it at the door? Putting on a show for us?"

But regardless.

Gao Yang's fury couldn't be so easily dissipated.

And outside the private room, Qin Chuan was deliberately walking very slowly.

Even though he was also pissed off at Gao Yang.

What he was thinking about right now, though, was this:

Is anyone going to come out and stop me?

As long as someone was willing to persuade him to stay, he could hem and haw a little, then agree to come back!

After all, this job paying fifteen thousand a month was pretty damn good.

If he went out on his own, he'd really struggle to even earn five thousand.

So, as he walked, he kept looking back, but there was no one behind him.

That's why he walked so slowly, extremely slowly, hoping someone would chase after him.

Whether it was Zhao Yiwan or Zhang Xue, either one would do!

At least give him a chance, and a way to save face!!!

But the imagined persuasion never came. Not even when he walked all the way out of the restaurant's front door.

"Kao! So heartless!"

Qin Chuan muttered under his breath, thinking, "Forget it. They're probably all still comforting Gao Yang right now. It'll probably take a while before they think of me and come to persuade me to come back to work."

But what he didn't know was...

Neither Zhang Xue nor Zhao Yiwan had any such intention.

As for Gao Yang, no need to even think about it. Qin Chuan daring to speak to him like that, a dragon has its reverse scale, and touching it means death.

He would never let Qin Chuan come back.

As for Zhao Yiwan, she actually felt a secret sense of delight at Qin Chuan quitting on his own. If he left, she wouldn't have to see him every single day, and she wouldn't have to face his constant pestering anymore.

After all, if they kept working together, they'd run into each other constantly, and it would be way too easy to get affected.

A dangling tail is hard to wag.

As for Zhang Xue.

Her earlier words to Qin Chuan were truly sincere.

She genuinely hoped that he and Gao Yang would stop arguing.

But!

She also thought what Gao Yang said was true!

Qin Chuan was getting lazier and lazier, not doing his work properly, and still pulling in fifteen thousand a month.

So, him voluntarily resigning was, for Zhang Xue as the boss, nothing but beneficial and not harmful in the slightest.

As for Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao, they were purely two bystanders enjoying the drama.

It was none of their business either.

Thus, Qin Chuan, because of his momentary impulse, had completely lost this job.

And even if he wanted to come back on his own initiative, there was still a Gao Yang standing in the way.
