Chapter 13 Resignation
When Ren Zhong finished selecting the site and it was almost time to return to the main plane, Ren Zhong disappeared from everyone's sight as usual and returned to the big world of 2024.

Not long after I came back, I received a life-threatening call from my boss, Director Wang.

"Xiao Ren, please dig out the highlights of the report on the ten major practical matters of the street in 2023. The current version looks rather bland and does not highlight the difficulties and hardships that the street has gone through in every possible way to fulfill its promises under the severe situation we are facing in 2023. Please polish it and make the key points, difficulties and highlights more vivid!"

Without waiting for Ren Zhong to say anything, Director Wang immediately assigned him a task.

It doesn't matter whether it's the weekend or not.

Of course, as a newcomer to the system, Ren Zhong doesn't deserve to have weekends. He has been living like this for the past six months.

If it weren't for the ocean support brought by the time travel, Ren Zhong should now say very respectfully: "Yes, Director, I will change it immediately." Not for anything else, just to make a living.

It is so difficult for liberal arts students to find a job, let alone a stable job within the system which looks very glamorous to outsiders.

However, today, Ren Zhong stopped pretending and came straight to the point.

"Director Wang, the thing is, after working here for more than half a year, I found that I am not very adaptable to the work within the system, and I feel overwhelmed in everything I do. So after careful consideration, I have decided to quit this job. I hope Director Wang can understand. When I go to work on Monday, I will hand in a formal resignation report to the office." Ren Zhong didn't want to beat around the bush and said bluntly.

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously very surprised. After a long pause, Director Wang said again: "Xiao Ren, resigning from a public office is not a trivial matter, let alone a joke. Young people should not be too impulsive. Maybe you have been working too hard these days, so you are a little overwhelmed. So, I will give you two days off, you can take a rest and think it over before coming back."

The voice was a bit stiff, and he hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

As a fairly handy ox and horse, Director Wang actually had a good impression of Ren Zhong. He was indeed a dark horse from an ordinary 211 university who had managed to stand out from the crowd, and his writing skills were indeed very good.

Although Director Wang always picked out a lot of problems every time, it is undeniable that after his criticism and Ren Zhong's repeated revisions, the quality of the street's publicity and reporting was improved to a small level.

This is very good. Most newcomers don't have such skills and understanding. Director Wang, who is almost fifty, has not met many clerks like Ren Zhong who can write formal reports in half a year.

Who would have thought that Ren Zhong would not cherish the opportunity? This made Director Wang very angry and felt that he was simply ungrateful.

Ren Zhong hung up the phone, turned on his computer, skillfully found a resignation letter, simply copied it, and wrote at the end: The world is so big and I want to see it.

I'm using this clichéd joke to vent my dissatisfaction with being treated like a slave for the past few months.

Thinking of the distorted expression that might appear on the director's face when he saw this resignation letter, Ren Zhong felt instantly comforted and relieved!
Monday, the street office of the main plane.

Office of the Director.

Director Wang, whose hair was a little sparse, looked at the resignation letter submitted by Ren Zhong, and sure enough, the corners of his mouth twitched when he saw the last sentence.

"Xiao Ren, didn't I tell you to take a two-day break? Don't be so impulsive. You saw that you also passed the exam last year. It was not easy. Although the street office has a lot of trivial matters and the work intensity is high, there are also many opportunities. The working conditions are much better than those in the townships." Director Wang put Ren Zhong's resignation letter on the table and said earnestly.

"You will be promoted to deputy chief section chief after your one-year internship. With your past performance, there will be no problem in getting promoted. After you became deputy chief section chief this year, I was thinking that Mr. Huang from the office would retire in the second half of the year, so I recommended you to take over Mr. Huang's position as deputy director. You will be promoted to deputy section chief in just over a year, which is much faster than me. It took me seven years to get promoted to deputy section chief."

Although Director Wang has selfish motives, what he said is actually correct. No one is cheating. If you hear this, you must report it with your life intact.

As for whether it can be fulfilled on time, that is another matter.

There are three deputy chief clerks who have worked in the office for more than five years ahead of him. Although their writing skills are much worse than Ren Zhong and they cannot handle important manuscripts on their own, except for Ren Zhong who is really a bit of a talent, all the others who can enter the street office have powerful backers.

"Director, I appreciate your kindness, but I have indeed made up my mind to quit my job for personal reasons and become a freelancer." Ren Zhong shook his head and said.

"Although it may sound a bit ridiculous to say that I want to see the world, it is indeed what I want. Being a freelancer allows me to see the world while doing work, and I think this is more suitable for the life I want."

"Xiao Ren, life is not based on imagination. You can't do whatever you want. You may not be very clear about the risks of freelancers. Let me give you a real example from a few years ago. A colleague in our street office also resigned to start a business. Guess what he is doing now?" Director Wang was still unwilling to give up and continued to persuade.
"He started a business but was defrauded of all his money and went bankrupt. Now he makes a living by delivering takeout food. He works in all kinds of situations and he really regrets it."

"Director, I have made up my mind. Please support me. We should try our best to complete the resignation according to the simple process. It will be convenient for everyone. What do you think?" Ren Zhong didn't want to say anything more to the director.

There are so many things waiting for him to do now, he has no time to waste.

Seeing that Ren Zhong refused to listen, Director Wang also got angry.

"Okay, Ren Zhong, since you are so determined, I will approve your resignation!" Director Wang said angrily, "But you need to revise your resignation report. Isn't it a bit low to follow the trend of internet celebrities when there are so many things to learn?"

Director Wang didn't want to be on the hot search because of this matter, so he pointed at Ren Zhong's last line and said.

Ren nodded, "Director, no problem, I'll fix it for you right away."

The unhappiness in his heart had long gone with the resignation. Ren Zhong really didn't need to be fussy about this. His office computer was still there. He downloaded the file from Weiyun to his office computer and modified and printed it out in just one minute.

Ren Zhong had just joined the company less than a year ago. In the office, due to his good writing skills, he was often intentionally or unintentionally excluded. He had no friends in the office at all. Therefore, his resignation was a good thing for everyone in the office. After all, with one less candidate and one less competitor, everyone would not only have an easier life (no need to compare with other good kids), but also have more opportunities.

So as they watched Ren Zhong pack up and leave, no one tried to keep him.

Everyone agreed to stop mentioning Ren Zhong, as if he had never existed, and soon all traces of Ren Zhong in the street office disappeared without a trace.

After completing the resignation procedures at the speed of light, Ren Zhong spent more than a dozen Yuan Datou coins and continued to buy amoxicillin capsules from different places. He then rushed to the chemical reagent factory store to get a set of chemical experiment beakers and other experimental equipment and two bottles of nitric acid, and returned to the world of Bright Sword before the return time.
