  Jiang Li tilted his head, frowned slightly, and whispered, "Boss Huo, don't be like this."

  Huo Mudong's hand was suspended in the air. He twisted his fingertips and slowly retracted them.

  But he was not discouraged. Huo Mudong was sure that after he said the prepared words, Jiang Li's attitude would change. However, he was also a little nervous because he had never confessed his feelings to anyone in his life.

  Jiang Li looked around with some concern, and found that no passengers were paying attention to them. Then he said seriously, "Mr. Huo, I think I have made it very clear to you. I don't want to continue with that unclear relationship."

  "Like I said before, I don't blame you. I'm even grateful to you. No matter what the reason is, the money you gave me really helped me a lot. But don't we have a consensus? That's the breakup fee, that's what you call 'compensation'. If you think I'm not worth that much and you still want to get a little interest from me, then I can return the money to you."

  He did not show any extreme emotions, and even spoke in a negotiating tone. His voice was soft and gentle, but every word he said was as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing on Huo Mudong's heart.

  Huo Mudong was a little anxious: "I didn't mean that--"

  Jiang Li raised his hand to stop him from talking: "Although I am short of money and I love money, I also have some skills that can support myself. I won't sell myself for a breakup fee. To be honest, I think the hug in the parking lot was quite offensive. Since we have broken up, why did you touch each other in broad daylight? You knew that my classmates might see it."

  Huo Mudong: "You are because of him——"

  "No," Jiang Li interrupted him again, "It has nothing to do with anyone. Don't take your anger out on others. I admit that I liked you before, and I was the one who approached you at the beginning, but now, I don't want to anymore. I want to end it. This is my opinion. You can also raise any ideas you have, such as paying me back or asking me to resign."

  "Resign?!" Huo Mudong raised his voice unconsciously. He knew how much Jiang Li cared about this job. Not only did he work overtime every day, but he also tolerated workplace bullying. He clearly cherished the opportunity to become a regular employee, but he actually gave up the job he had worked so hard to get just to leave him?

  Jiang Li covered his mouth with a slap and put his other hand in front of his lips, "Shh!"

  Two months ago, Jiang Li would not have dared to resign. At that time, this job was his only source of income, and it provided him with rent, food, milk powder, diapers... after leaving the capital. He had to increase income and reduce expenditure in advance, and save up some emergency funds in advance as a guarantee for his and his daughter's survival.

  But now, he has signed a contract with Bronze Technology using a fake identity, and the salary is not bad. Even if, even if he returns the breakup fee, he can still make a living.

  Moreover, he was very tempted by Mr. Hua's suggestion to move to Shanghai as soon as possible to facilitate examinations. When he gave birth to Duoduo in his previous life, the operation was a bit dangerous. If it weren't for Mr. Hua's superb medical skills, the child would have almost died. His daughter was more important than anything else, so Jiang Li naturally took Mr. Hua's words as his guiding principle.

  Then this job that you will have to quit sooner or later is not so important.

  Jiang Li: "Don't speak so loudly."

  Jiang Li said: "This is what I think. Now it's your turn, Mr. Huo. What do you want to say?"

  "..." Huo Mudong felt that he was a little passive now. The conversation had already come to this point. If he confessed again, wouldn't it seem like a stopgap measure to keep Jiang Li?
