Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Resign

The next day, standing in front of 3 story office building, Ray was a little emotional.

This was the office of the company he was working for, today he came here to resign.

He spent a tough phase of his life working here, but it is indisputable that this was also the place that helped him avoid a financial crisis and sleeping on the streets.

When he graduated as a software engineer with top grades and high ambitions, he applied to many renowned companies.

But for various reasons, he was always rejected, when he was almost desperate this place gave him a job.

Although he had to be humble in front of his boss and colleagues the money he earned was enough to feed him.

Shaking these thoughts out of his mind he stepped into the company, all the way to his working cabin, he packed up his things and took a last look at the place he had been struggling in for the previous 4 years.

"What happened little Ray, are you unwilling?" A joking voice asked 

Listening to the yin and yang tone and that familiar voice, Ray knew this was John.

Yesterday when he went back from the cafe, his boss called to scold him for not coming to work, he had already made it clear to him that he was resigning, So he wasn't particularly surprised that his colleagues knew of his departure. 

John was his senior, he came a year earlier than Ray and was a company software analyst, don't listen to his yin and yang weird tone but he was the person with whom Ray had the best relationship in the company.

Many times John has helped him in front of his boss, he was also his teacher.

When Ray first joined, he was fresh and green, John helped him get familiar with his job, if there were any mistakes in his work, he would help him out too.

"Fuck off" Pointing toward him Ray cursed with a smile.

"Seriously, when the boss announced yesterday that you were leaving the job, I was quite shocked, do you have any problem, tell me maybe I can help," John asked seriously.

Listening to his words, Ray was a little touched, but he had no intention of exposing his plans, at least not now.

"No brother I am just taking a break, I will find a job after a while," Ray told him.

Shrugging his shoulders John said, "Whatever you say, if you have any difficulties you can come to me."

"Okay, I have to go to the boss, see you when I see you " waving at John, Ray went to the office in the corner.

As soon as he entered, his sight was polluted by a fat pig-like man, this was his boss. He was reading something with his head lowered unaware of Ray's presence.

"Boss here's the resignation letter" Ray spoke.

Startled by the sudden voice he trembled, the flesh on his stomach was jiggling.

Looking at Ray, fatty had veins throbbing on his forehead, gritting his teeth he said "Put it on the table and get out!"

Ray placed the letter silently on the table and went out, he didn't argue with the fatty it was meaningless.

Although he was Eternal and had all the time in the world, this didn't mean he would go around wasting it on meaningless things. Some habits once developed are hard to get rid of.

Once he was done with all the formalities he left.

Walking out of the building, he looked back and heaved a sigh of relief, it felt as if a heavy burden was taken off his shoulders, it was refreshing.

He hailed a taxi back to his apartment and put the things he had in his hands there.

Laying on the chair his thoughts wandered off, he had already selected the warehouse he was going to rent as his workspace, and he had an appointment with its owner tomorrow.

As for office supplies, he will make do with some necessities, nothing expensive, anyway, he was one person doing the job it wasn't necessary to create a whole office, and he couldn't afford it.

When he has earned some capital he will go to the future, study stock trends and come back to the present to invest, earning principle for his investment in different industries.

After all, if he wanted to get Jennifer in his pocket, he must at least have equal standing to Kwon's or even above them, as the ruler of time he had this confidence.

Speaking of Jennifer, he opened her resume, this was what he hacked from her laptop.

Looking at her resume even a top student like Ray was ashamed, Jennifer was a top management talent who graduated from Harvard University, and reading the long list of skills she had mastered on her resume, Ray began to doubt whether he really was as smart as he imagined himself to be.

But thinking about his cheat Ray was relieved, no matter how many skills she had mastered she was far behind Ray, who could spend as much time as he wanted learning skills.

Didn't he take only a moment to become a top hacker, although it took 6 years in Time-Stop it was only a moment in real-time.

"Yes, I, Ray, am a true genius" Ray claimed shamelessly, with the expression he had while saying this he would be beaten if someone else was listening to his bragging.

Pushing away his narcissistic thoughts he refocused on this outstanding resume that was in front of him.

Extracting the information that was needed for his next set of plans, Ray closed the window.

As for why he was going through all this work, it started when he hacked into Jennifer's laptop and got this resume.

Seeing her management abilities Ray was salivating, in the future, most of Ray's energy would be on researching techniques suitable for his evolution, so once his business was on track he would need a talent that was excellent enough not to mess it up while he can be his hands off shopkeeper.

Analyzing Jennifer's social circle, he concluded that, she was a woman who aimed high, so if he wanted to get her to his side, he, as well as his business must have enough potential.

A woman like her wouldn't surrender to someone lower than her in intellect, so Ray has been studying her skill set for some time, these are the goals he will accomplish in his coming Time-Stop journey.

As for cultivation technique, he will conquer that after he conquers Jennifer.
