Wednesday evening.
He Xueqian, a classmate who worked at Cartier, invited Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin to dinner.
During the meal, He Xueqian said, "Xu Yang, Yuxin, I've resigned from Cartier."
Zhao Yuxin asked with confusion, "Resigned? What happened, was the job not going well? I heard you say before that your job at Cartier was quite acceptable."
He Xueqian explained, "I am an only child, and my parents still hope I can return to my hometown. Their health isn't that great, and I'm a bit concerned about them. Moreover, it's really hard to make a name for oneself in Haicheng. After some thought, I decided to go back home."
Her hometown is in a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province, where her parents worked for a state-owned enterprise.
Speaking of which, her family's financial situation was much better than Xu Yang's.
With stable jobs in the state-owned enterprise, her parents had a secure retirement.
