Chen Xu formally announced his resignation, and his work was nearly completed. He had no intention of staying for overtime. Anyway, by tomorrow, when the process started, those well-informed colleagues would immediately find out.
He ran home, took a shower, and then prepared to drive Yang Jinxia's car back to her. Before leaving, he sent her a WeChat message.
She replied quickly, "I'm out, come pick me up here." Then she sent the address.
He saw that it wasn't far from her house—it was a coffee shop—so he texted back, "Okay."
Yang Jinxia's place was roughly a forty-minute drive, but it was rush hour, and the traffic lights caused a lot of delays. It took almost an hour to reach the coffee shop.
After parking the car, he sent a message, "I've arrived, sorry for the delay, there was some traffic. Are you still there?"
Her reply came almost instantly, "I'm here, come in."
