Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

It was with these considerations in mind that Chen Lin ultimately decided to submit his resignation. He had been pondering how to reasonably explain his sudden departure to Chen Fei—after all, this was no small matter.

At this moment, Chen Fei had already seen through his thoughts.

He simply revealed everything he knew.

This saves me the trouble of making up excuses for my best friend.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. Leaving is the only way out now. If I stay, there's no hope left."

“I was indeed indecisive before. If I had acted sooner and been more decisive, I wouldn’t be in this situation.” A look of disappointment appeared on Chen Lin’s face.

"Do you want to know who your love rival is? Perhaps I can give you some clues."

Chen Fei's expression suddenly became subtle, and his gaze towards Chen Lin carried a half-smile. As he expected, these words immediately attracted Chen Lin's attention.

"Do you know who the other person is?"

Chen Lin couldn't help but feel nervous.

They were afraid the other person was just joking.

"Of course I know."

Chen Fei made a firm promise.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me who it is."

Chen Lin was so anxious she wanted to punch her best friend.

"Is this how you ask for help? If so, I'm not saying anything more."

Seeing Chen Lin's anxiety, Chen Fei became unhurried.

"Oh dear, dear sister, I know I was wrong. Please tell me the news quickly."

"I'm really anxious. I want to see which guy dares to snatch food from the tiger's mouth." Chen Lin's smile was more like a grimace, which terrified Chen Fei.

"Don't do anything rash. Even if I tell you who they are, you can't do anything reckless."

"If you're in this state, I can't say anything."

Chen Fei was also worried that Chen Lin would act impulsively.

I was afraid that he might get angry and go to settle scores with the other party.

"No, no, I really don't," Chen Lin said, forcing a smile.

Seeing that Chen Fei still seemed to be keeping her in suspense, Chen Lin immediately frowned.

She said fiercely to her best friend:
"Are you going to talk or not? If you don't, you're not leaving this room today."

He then made a move to pounce on Chen Fei.

Okay, okay, I'll talk!

Left with no other choice, Chen Fei had to compromise.

In fact, he had already planned to reveal the other party's identity.

However, seeing that Chen Lin was emotionally unstable, he was a little worried.

Seeing that Chen Lin could still joke around, he felt a little relieved.

However, what he said next stunned Chen Lin.

To my utter surprise, my rival turned out to be a colleague who had just joined the company.

No wonder that girl always seemed off, keeping a subtle distance from me. I thought she was just shy, but I never expected this little girl to be eyeing Lin Beichen.

That was really unexpected.

"It's that girl who came a few days ago; her father should be Wang Fugui."

Even if he's not my biological father, he's still a close relative.

"Wouldn't you call this letting a wolf into the house?"

"Sigh, I really feel sorry for you. If you had taken action sooner, things wouldn't have come to this." Chen Fei looked at Chen Lin with disappointment and helplessness.

If this matter had been resolved earlier, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

If you know today, why should you be in the beginning.

It's too late to say anything now.

"Alright, that's enough. If it's him, I'd be relieved."

"That little girl has absolutely no chance against Lin Beichen, I'm confident of that," Chen Lin said dismissively.

This is not blind confidence.

After all, she had collaborated with Lin Beichen so many times.

He knew exactly what kind of person the other person was.

"So, you're saying you're not planning to resign?"

Chen Fei pressed for more information out of curiosity.

He would be happiest if Chen Lin could change her mind.

"No, I still want to leave and pursue my love."

Chen Lin smiled brightly.

Today's events, however, solidified his resolve.

In that case, we should really thank Wang Fugui.

And his beloved daughter. If it weren't for them, I'd probably still be hesitating. It seems I've been tied down by work for too long; I need to follow in Lin Beichen's footsteps. I can't be afraid; I must forge ahead! Therefore, resigning is imperative.

"What will I do if you leave?"

"How could you bear to leave me here alone?"

Chen Fei looked at Chen Lin pitifully.

We have been close friends for many years and have always supported each other.

"Do you think it's possible for you to resign with me?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Lin suddenly made a suggestion.

This suggestion surprised Chen Fei, who asked in bewilderment:
"After working for so many years, you think you can just leave like that? Do you think I'd be as impulsive as you?"

"So naive, giving up her career for a man?"

"Is this the ending you wanted?"

Chen Fei's words were sarcastic.

But as a close friend of many years, how could Chen Lin not know his true thoughts? There is no room for advancement in the communications class. Unless you have connections and influence, your life will likely remain the same, with at most minor improvements but little change.

Especially the moment they learned Wang Ling's identity.

Chen Fei's heart had already wavered.

However, he never made it clear to Chen Lin.

I don't want this incident to upset Chen Lin.

I never expected things would develop to this point.

Chen Lin resigned due to relationship problems. What will she do next?

"Since you are leaving, I will naturally accompany you."

"But what should we do next? I don't understand what we can do."

Chen Fei appeared somewhat downcast.

Clearly, they feel lost about the future.

"Hehe, the world is vast, and we're not stupid. With hands and feet, what can't we do?"

"This matter still needs to be discussed with Lin Beichen."

"I'm sure you know something about Lin Beichen."

"Actually, I wanted to go to the Empire with him; I was worried about him traveling alone."

At first, Chen Lin just wanted to find a random excuse to get Chen Fei away.

He was unwilling to let his close friend take risks with him.

But they were so familiar with each other that Chen Fei could understand each other with just a glance from Chen Lin.

"Okay, okay, I know I can't hide it from you, so I'll tell you the truth, alright?"

"But you're not as skilled as me. I was a special forces soldier back in the day, unlike you."

Chen Lin sighed helplessly.

He has his own principles in this regard.

I absolutely do not want Chen Fei to be harmed.

"Oh dear, I really don't understand. I wonder who was in danger and whom I rescued during the live-fire exercise back then? I remember there was an unexpected situation, and you hadn't even reacted yet."

"They actually used real robbers as practice subjects."

"If it weren't for me, you would be dead by now."

When the past was mentioned, a look of reminiscence appeared on Chen Fei's face. Those years of fighting side by side were truly unforgettable.

He longed for the thrill of surviving in dire situations rather than the monotonous daily work of communications.

Although I'm reluctant to accept this reality.

But it is indeed true that her good friend is no less capable than herself.

In certain critical moments, the other party may even be more reliable than oneself.

Why should Chen Fei go on this risk? There's absolutely no need for it.

"This is my own choice, you don't need to get involved. Just stay here and work."

"There will be promotion opportunities in the future, don't miss them."

Chen Lin spoke calmly.

"Do you really think of me as that kind of person?"

After a brief silence.

Chen Fei suddenly stared at Chen Lin with an extremely solemn look.

"Do you think I'm that worthless? I don't care about these things, and I don't lack this income."

"Even if I don't work, I have other sources of income."

"Working in the communications unit was just a personal interest, plus I had you, my good friend, here. Who could have predicted things would develop this way, with Wang Fugui actually speaking to you privately?"

"It's really unpleasant."

Chen Fei's tone was not agitated.

Her tone was as steady as in everyday conversation.

But those who know her understand that the calmer she appears, the worse her mood is.

You should know that she usually has a smile on her face.

"You truly are my good sister. But traveling to the Empire is far too dangerous; you really don't need to come along."

"If anything happens to you in the Empire, I will live with a guilty conscience for the rest of my life."

"So you'd better not come with me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"You think I'm afraid of death? At worst, I'll sacrifice myself, and then you can come and join me as soon as possible."

"Aren't you scared?" Chen Fei said, recalling the past, which made Chen Lin feel emotional. "We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year. Isn't that what we promised back then?"

"No way? Could someone really believe that?"

"It was just a joke at the time, I didn't even take it to heart, how could you take it seriously?"

Chen Lin teased him on purpose.

The two sat down for a long talk.

Ultimately, Chen Lin agreed to let Chen Fei go to the Empire with her.

They submitted their resignation that very evening.

Without lingering, he left his post that same day.

"What? You're resigning? You're not kidding, are you?"

"You're the top performers here, how could you just leave like that? It's so sudden."

Many colleagues expressed shock.

They simply couldn't understand why Chen Lin and Chen Fei had suddenly decided to leave.

"Don't go, we're all good sisters, can't you stay?"

"Didn't your boss talk to you before? There should be a promotion opportunity."

Some people were puzzled.

Logically speaking, the future should be bright.

Why did the leader talk to Chen Lin afterward?

Are she and Chen Fei about to leave their jobs?

It's so strange; no one would believe there's no hidden story behind it.

"There's no particular reason, so please don't speculate."

“We just have new life plans, and this job is no longer suitable for us sisters.”

Chen Lin smiled calmly.

She did not deliberately smear Wang Fugui.

That would not be wise.

They had no deep-seated hatred towards Wang Fugui.

Since there are no irreconcilable conflicts, there is really no need to go that far.

"Yes, we've been working here for quite a few years, it's time to find a new job."

"Take advantage of your youth and experience different lifestyles."

Chen Fei echoed.

Their statements were flawless and watertight.

Others had no way of getting information out of them.

Chen Lin and Chen Fei's decision has made many people envious, although they had also considered leaving their jobs.

But they lack the courage of Chen Lin and Chen Fei.

It is truly admirable when others accomplish what you yourself cannot.

Chen Lin and Chen Fei performed exceptionally well at work; they certainly didn't leave because they couldn't continue. Since they say so, the facts should be as they say.

I definitely didn't leave because I was unhappy with my job.

Rather, they genuinely want to pursue a brand new life.

"I'm so envious. I wish I could be like them, but unfortunately, I can't."

"That's so cool! I wish I had that kind of confidence."

"Sister Chen Lin, Sister Chen Fei, please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it in the future."

"Let's exchange contact information first."

"Yeah yeah!"

"If you receive any tasks related to Lin Beichen in the future, you can notify Sister Chen Lin in advance."

Many people extended olive branches to Chen Lin.

People as outstanding as them will excel at whatever they do.

Maintaining a good relationship with Chen Lin is definitely the right thing to do.

"We'll always be best friends. Just let me know if you need any help."

Judging from how others treated Chen Lin and Chen Fei, they were generally well-liked at work. Their departure sparked considerable discussion for some time.
The news quickly reached Wang Fugui's ears, and he was deeply moved.

I never expected these two girls to have such strong personalities.

His stubborn nature made him feel a little guilty.

In truth, this matter is inextricably linked to him.

If he hadn't gone to talk to Chen Lin, Chen Lin wouldn't have left with her sisters.

this.
They must have already guessed Wang Ling's identity.

He did not deliberately hide his daughter's background.

Had the information been leaked? He wasn't surprised.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever; quite a few people know about his daughter's identity.

It's not surprising that someone knows, as you can easily find out with a little inquiry.

"For the sake of my precious daughter, I've become the villain."

“They should be given appropriate compensation after they leave. This is the last thing I can do for them.” Wang Fugui is not an unreasonable person; he plans to provide material assistance.

The reasons for the subsidy are also quite valid.

Based on the outstanding performance of Chen Lin and Chen Fei during their work.

Given that they left their jobs for special reasons, the authorities will grant them two apartments as a special arrangement.

Wang Fugui did this partly out of guilt, and partly as a way to demonstrate his strength. He hoped to put pressure on Chen Lin, hoping to make her back down. After all, he didn't think his daughter could handle such a formidable character. After leaving her job, she would likely go to Lin Beichen, and the future development of their relationship was unpredictable. Wang Fugui even considered persuading his daughter to give up on Lin Beichen.

"That's great, they're all gone. They won't have a chance to contact Lin Beichen anymore." Wang Ling couldn't hide her joy at seeing her father return. Her father was indeed reliable; he had dealt with her rivals in one fell swoop. That's wonderful; now she didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

Seeing his daughter's naivety, Wang Fugui felt a pang of heartache. "Silly girl," he thought, "things aren't as simple as you think. You think that just because she left, she won't have a chance to develop her relationship with Lin Beichen further? If you think that, you're sorely mistaken. Wasn't her leaving precisely to further her relationship with Lin Beichen? You're too naive to compare yourself to her. What makes you think you can compete? If it weren't for me, her father, supporting her, you would have been utterly defeated long ago."

"Why do you look so worried? Isn't this a good thing? Are you feeling guilty?" Seeing Wang Fugui remain silent, Wang Ling assumed her father was feeling remorseful. She was completely mistaken. Wang Fugui hadn't done anything wrong; leaving was Chen Lin and Chen Fei's own decision. Wang Fugui had never forced them; he had always adhered to his principles. The reason he looked so worried was simply because he saw no hope in his daughters. But he didn't know how to bring it up, hence his distress. (End of Chapter)
