She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1825: Chapter 1904: A Good Solution

"You wouldn’t have quit because your wife doesn’t like it, would you?"

"..." President, even if it’s the truth, you shouldn’t say it out loud!

When Meng Xingzhi was young, he didn’t smoke. After Meng Fan died, he started, and in recent years, his addiction grew worse. His assistant and the old man at home nagged him countless times, but it was useless.

He wanted to quit, but thinking about losing his only hobby made him feel too bored, so he continued smoking.

"You’re not here today specifically for the meeting, are you?"

"President, you know, I never like to attend such meetings." That’s right, it’s always Shangguan Tao or Zhou Hong stepping in for him. "I came today to talk to you about my resignation."

"Why? Have you made up your mind? You can really let go of the rescue team you’ve dedicated so many years to, and all your teammates?" Meng Xingzhi calmly smoked, completely lacking the panic Shen Feihu had when he heard Xu Qigang resigning.

"I can’t bear to."

"Then why do you want to resign?"

"I’m more reluctant to leave my wife." Xu Qigang looked composed, as if he felt no embarrassment or awkwardness for saying such a thing, "I think one shouldn’t be greedy; there’s always a choice to make."

"But you can obviously have both. Sheng Ning is a reasonable person; she wouldn’t stop you from being a rescue comrade. Besides, she herself is a rescue comrade and clearly loves it. Otherwise, with her identity as the Feng Family Master, she could influence everything; why would she come to the union as a mere clerk?"

Xu Qigang knew Xiao Ning’s identity couldn’t be kept secret, but he didn’t expect so many people to know, yet no one pointed it out, just tacitly agreed. Fortunately, his reaction was quick, maintaining a cold expression without a trace of flaw.

No matter what Xiao Ning’s identity is, he can protect her.

"President, it’s not that I can’t do it; it has nothing to do with Comrade Sheng Ning." His heart is big enough to contain the whole country, but it’s also small enough to only hold his wife.

Now, he’s decided to hold only his wife.

"Then you better reconsider!"

"No need, I’ve been thinking about resignation for a long time." Ever since Xiao Ning fell into the sea, he started considering it, and after all this time, there’s nothing more to consider.

"Alright then! First, take care of the matters you have on hand, then prepare for surgery."

"When will the procedures be handled?"

Meng Xingzhi glared at him, "You cheeky brat, are you pushing your luck? We’re swamped right now; there’s no time to handle your procedures! Wait until your surgery is done and you’re mostly recovered, we might have time then."

"Yes, President." Getting the President’s approval wasn’t without gain, Xu Qigang stood up and left.

Less than ten minutes after he left, Shen Feihu stormed in with rolled-up sleeves, "Meng Xingzhi, Meng Xingzhi, explain this to me."

The chief following him was furious, his nose almost skewed, "Shen Feihu, how dare you shout at the President? I think you’re asking for discipline."

"Hmph! If he undermines me, he shouldn’t blame me." Shen Feihu was beyond brash, "I asked the President to help persuade Xu Qigang not to resign, not to agree with it."

"What?" The chief was dumbfounded, "President, did you really agree?"

"Yes!" Meng Xingzhi stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and calmly said, "I’ve agreed, and will let him wait until we all have time to handle the procedures."
