Han Momo and Qiao Weilan were alright. Even though at first, there were some twists and turns, in the end, they still managed to hold the fort down and had been steadily running the company.
However, Ning Xi’s departure had affected Gong Shangze significantly.
After all, designers were sentimental, especially since Ning Xi’s existence had been like a belief to Gong Shangze. Now, this solid belief of his had suddenly left without a word, so one could well imagine how it affected him.
He could still somewhat assist running the company in secret. However, even he could not intervene with the designer’s inspiration.
Previously, when Ning Xi had asked about Spirit, he did not mention much about Gong Shangze’s situation but based on the current situation, he could not continue keeping it a secret.
After he finished the call with Gong Shangze, Lu Tingxiao hesitated momentarily, but in the end, he still told Ning Xi about it.
Earlier, Gong Shangze called.
Ah! Ah Ze! What did he say?
Ning Xi immediately asked.
He wants to resign.
What?
Ning Xi’s expression instantly changed.
Why does he suddenly want to resign?
Lu Tingxiao looked at her gravely.
Actually, Shangze’s situation in the past year hasn’t been great. After you disappeared, he’s been turning into a worse and worse state, until he fell into a bottleneck. It’s been half a year since he couldn’t come up with a design that he’s satisfied with. Initially, I didn’t want you to worry and get worn out, so I didn’t immediately tell you. I wanted to wait till you’ve recovered a little, but now, I’m afraid you’ll need to step in.
How did this happen?
Ning Xi massaged her temples, then she immediately said,
I want to look for him right now!
Lu Tingxiao revealed a helpless expression. He knew that she would definitely react like this upon finding out.
Ning Xi observed Lu Tingxiao’s tightly knitted brows and went over to hug him. She said with a gentle tone,
Husband, don’t keep treating me like I’m made of glass. This isn’t acting. I don’t need to use any physical strength or energy. I don’t need to draw designs and I don’t need to settle any accounts. I won’t be worn out.
Besides, I must finish what I started. Spirit is a collective effort of a lot of us. I didn’t even say anything and ditched them to sleep for a year. Indeed, it’s my fault. Since I’m already awake now, no matter what, I should explain things to my partners who’ve worked hard together with me. Ah Ze definitely won’t reveal my situation to anyone outside. Plus, aren’t you here too!?
At last, Lu Tingxiao sighed,
I’ll go with you.
In reality, when Ning Xi had said the first word, he was already bound to compromise.
