Yi Anguo was initially furious when he heard Chen Xuejiao say she wanted to resign, and she even had her resignation letter ready, handing it over to him.

Because he truly valued Chen Xuejiao's abilities, her performance over the last two years had also satisfied him greatly, and he was wholeheartedly committed to nurturing her.

Now was the time to give Chen Xuejiao more responsibilities and yet she brought out a resignation letter, saying she wanted to resign. How could Yi Anguo not be angry?

But now, calming down to think it through, Yi Anguo felt that Chen Xuejiao hadn't done anything wrong. She wasn't his slave; she had the right to resign at any time.

As for his dedicated nurturing of her, it was entirely his willingness to give and her willingness to accept. Chen Xuejiao never asked him to nurture her carefully, nor did she sell herself to him.

Moreover, initially, it was also Yi Anguo who used some less-than-honorable means to force Chen Xuejiao to work for him as one of the conditions for helping her father, Ou Xiaolong.

Having figured things out, Yi Anguo felt that since Chen Xuejiao would eventually leave him, leaving at this time might not be the worst thing.

When his major groups were fully established and Chen Xuejiao was appointed as the CEO of the Hualong Investment Group, if she suddenly resigned then, it would be troublesome, much more troublesome than leaving now.

But just when he finally came to terms with it and was not angry anymore, Chen Xuejiao changed her mind again. She actually regretted her decision and didn't want to resign anymore. She even snatched back her resignation letter from his hand and tore it up.

Clearly, it was Chen Xuejiao who suddenly wanted to resign and made him angry. But now, somehow, Chen Xuejiao felt she was greatly wronged, and it was all his fault as the boss. What's the logic in that?

But seeing Chen Xuejiao complain to him, her face full of grievances, Yi Anguo's heart softened again, unable to harden it again, which was a weakness in his character.

But this also depended on the person. Not everyone could make him soften up with such antics. The key was that he originally appreciated Chen Xuejiao, admired her working ability.

Perhaps Chen Xuejiao being beautiful was also a reason! After all, beautiful women do have privileges, and no one can refute that.

"I also want you to stay, to continue helping me, to serve as the future CEO of Hualong Investment Group. But you are bound to leave eventually. Even if you stay now, you will leave later."

"You're not wrong. Even though your dad hasn't reached retirement age, one day, he will retire, and his company will be handed over to you. What are you going to do then?" Yi Anguo said after calming himself down.

"I can't possibly keep you by my side working forever and not let you take over your dad's company."

Chen Xuejiao stayed silent; she knew Yi Anguo was right. She would have to leave eventually—it was just a matter of time.

But she really didn't want to leave. Compared to taking over her father's family business, she'd rather stay at Hualong Investment Company. Hualong Investment was the stage where she could truly showcase her skills and was far superior to her dad's company.

Moreover, by staying at Hualong Investment, she could always find excuses to see Yi Anguo, complain to him, and occasionally act a little spoiled with him.

But once she left and took over her father's company, she wouldn't have the right reasons to meet Yi Anguo anymore.

What should she do now? Insist on not resigning, not leaving?

"Uncle Yi! Even if I have to leave in the future, that won't be for another ten or twenty years. Didn't you just say that my dad is still young, and even working until his seventies wouldn't be a problem?" Chen Xuejiao said with a pitiful expression.

"And by that time, maybe I won't have to leave! In over twenty years, my son will be grown up, and then I can let him take over my dad's company, and I can stay by your side, right?"

Yi Anguo laughed and said, "Then you should really resign and leave. If you keep working with me, you won't have time to date, let alone have a son."

"Uncle Yi! How can you be like this? I've already humbly begged you, what more do you want me to do so you'd let me stay?" Chen Xuejiao said, almost in tears.

"Alright! Then you can stay with me for another two years! You're twenty-eight now, getting married and having kids after thirty is fine." Yi Anguo finally took a step back and said.

With two years, it would be enough for the Hualong Investment Group to get on track, and by then, Chen Xuejiao's departure wouldn't have any major impact on the group.

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Yi! I knew you cared about me and couldn't bear for me to leave."

Chen Xuejiao said excitedly, darting forward, throwing her arms around Yi Anguo, and planting a firm kiss on both his cheeks.

"What are you doing! Don't mess around! Otherwise, I'll take back what I just said." Yi Anguo said sternly with a serious face.
