I walked through the door with you🧡
Summer seemed to have arrived early this year. After May, the weather had slowly become warmer. The sun was scorching in June and boiling in July, signifying that it was midsummer. In the blink of an eyes, several months had passed.
It was sunset again and there was a faint afterglow at dusk.
At the very moment, at the Vice-Chancellor's office of University C in City Beijing, Sang Zhi was there in long white shirt, paired with a pair of cropped trousers and white canvas shoes. She wore her waist-length hair down and was standing in front of the Vice-Chancellor, Su Jinping' desk, with a black backpack in her hand.
She still had the same expression that was as cold as the wind. In fact, Su Jinping never seemed to feel any other emotions from this young girl. He only knew that she was just like his daughter as they were both very capable. However, the woman in front of him was wiser and more mysterious than Su Yuqi.
"What's the matter, Teacher Zhi? "
Su Jinping put down the file in his hand and was about to get up. However, Sang Zhi who was standing in front of him, reached out and left a letter in her hand on the desk in front of him.
"Vice-Chancellor Su, this is my resignation letter. I don't want to teach anymore"
Her sudden request took Su Jinping by surprise, he asked, "Resign? Why? Is it because you think that our welfare isn't good enough?"
Sang Zhi shook her head, and her mouth curved into a faint smile. "No,I never cared much about teaching.Now that the doctoral degree of University C has been confirmed, It's time for me to leave. Being a teacher doesn't really suit me".
" Why would you say so? I personally went to a few lectures of courses you taught. I thought it was well done. Moreover, your lectures are always full. You're loved by the students and are a role model to the teachers. Why would you quit your job all of a sudden? I always thought that you'd be happy working here".
Su Jinping was bewildered. In face, the school's application for the doctoral degree would not have passed the assessment so quickly if it was not for her effort. Otherwise, the application might still be pending at the moment.
"I've said it before that I'm actually not too interested in teaching. I devoted myself to the job because it's my obligation and that's my principle. Moreover, I'm... not just a teacher, " Sang Zhi said faintly.
Su Jinping could not tell her emotions from her eyes that were as deep as the sea, but he thought about it, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something...
That was right. Sang Zhi was not just a legend. Her background was also impressive. She was a woman with a remarkable background, beauty, and wisdom. Even Su Jinping himself admired her, especially her personality.
Actually, according to his understanding, Sang Zhi was a very simple and intelligent person. She was very smart, and she had a pair of piercing eyes that could see through the world.
She never depended on the status or power of her parents as she was very competitive. However, she did not seem to have a good relationship with her family. The Sang family remained mysterious in Beijing. The Sang couple were in the ones that often appeared in front of the media and they were a loving couple.
The majority of the news about the Sang family were rumors because no matter how the media tried to dig up their news stood up to explain or clarify anything.
"I almost forgot that you have the Sang family behind you " Su Jinping sighed lightly. Just like Su Yuqi, the weight on his shoulders were heavy.
"If I could choose, I don't want to either. Well, I'll leave my resignation letter here. Please approve it. I've packed up my things and Informed two other teacher about the final exam. They'll in charge of my two classes, so you don't have to worry about progress of the course and the student's final exams".
"I certainly have in your working ability. If that's the case, I won't say more. Let's organize a department dinner for all the teacher from the Arts Department tonight... "
" It's okay. My stomach hasn't been feeling well these days and I don't have any appetite. The doctor told me not to drink for the time being, so let's do this another time. Don't worry. I'll come back to visit all of you, goodbye! " Sang Zhi said Indifferently and turned around. Her thin figure quickly disappeared outside the door.
The Sunset had faded and the afterglow was still lingering while the tall trees in front of the campus rustled with the evening breeze.
When Sang Zhi walked out of the campus gate, a black limousine stopped in front of her slowly and precisely. As the window was slowly lowered, she saw the black figure in the driver's seat.
He had a gorgeous face and deep, dark eyes, and he was wearing a pair of dark trousers with a dark gray shirt. Who else could it be if not An Xingzhi.
Unlike his cynic self in the past, Sang Zhi felt that he had become reserved and matured.
"Get in".Sang Zhi paused and raised her eyebrows but did not refuse. She reached out to open the care door and got into the car.
" How did you know that I'm back".She asked as she pulled the seat belt and fastened it.
"I have my way's", An Xingzhi glared at her and responded calmly.
As Sang Zhi shot him back glance, her hooded eyes flickered, and her indifferent lips flashed in ease. She did not say anything as she reached out to take a book from the side and began to flip through it. "Did you really resign from your job at the university? Didn't you quite enjoy your time there? I remember you telling me before that you found it fulling to live like this" An Xingzhi' lowered and raspy voice was heard. He did not look at her as he spoke. Instead, he looked quietly ahead. The car sped aling, but it did so steadily.
Upon hearing that, Sang Zhi propped her head up on one hand. Her beautiful face could not hide a hint of fatigue. "Sometimes, it's not about just doing whatever I want. I did live 20 over years of a carefree life, so it's time I changed Up my lifestyle".
" To hear this from Sang Zhi does put me in slight disbelief. " An Xingzhi chuckled.
"Disbelief? I'm human too. To suffer through such pressure for a long period of time wears me out, so it's good for me to change my lifestyle anyway. You've change quick a lot too. I haven't met you in about half a year. Why do you seem so mysterious and profound now? ".Sang Zhi calmly asked back.
" When you come visit me at my office and face those subordinates as well as those business partners, you'll understand why. " An Xingzhi tone was actually somewhat helpless, but he thought about it and just smiled.
When she heard that, Sang Zhi obviously understood. she had seen such a thing before. Her grandmother always taught her how to cultivate one's charisma and vigor.
Her grandmother was a Actress, and in fact, she was quite a famous one whose Imposing manner made even the audiences suffer from stage fright sometimes.
"That's true. sometimes, it's only like this that your opponent won't be able to catch on to you. You've changed quite a bit in a bit in a short amount of time, and I'm amazed".Sang Zhi was happy for An Xingzhi.
