3:00 PM.
Sunlight was cast in from the western glass curtain wall.
Quite a few colleagues made themselves steaming cups of coffee and began their routine of slacking off.
The entire office area seemed quiet and warm.
Suddenly, a new message popped up in the tech department work group.
[Director Chen Yunteng: "@Backend Developer Tang Song, you're officially resigning from the company today, thank you for your efforts over the past months."]
Initially, only a few people saw it.
Soon, the tech department's office area became noisy.
"Tang Song is resigning!?"
"What's going on!? Didn't he just get confirmed not long ago? Why resign now?"
"Tang Song, have you found your next job?"
"Could it be that the company is financing and aiming to lay off people in our tech department?"
"Layoffs? Don't scare me; my wife just lost her job!"
...
The news of Tang Song's resignation came out of nowhere and was completely unexpected.
It instantly ignited this ordinary Tuesday afternoon.
