“Hello, Mr . Lu . . . ” From the other end of the phone came a raspy and haggard voice .

“Mmm . “

“Apologies for presumptuously disturbing you . Today, I’m calling you because there’s something I’d like to get your instructions on . “

“Speak . “

“I . . . ” The young man on the other end seemed to have gone through a long struggle before he finally said, “Mr . Lu, I want to resign . “

Lu Tingxiao’s brows furrowed . “I’m not your boss . I don’t have the authority to comment on your request . “

When the young man heard this reply, his tone became a little impatient . “But you’re the only person who can make this decision on behalf of the Boss . If I continue in my position, I’ll only destroy Spirit . After I resign, with your capabilities, you can definitely hire a much better designer for Spirit!”

Lu Tingxiao pinched the space between his brows and did not say anything .

He never breathed a word about the truth behind Ning Xi’s disappearance to anyone in Spirit . He did not know how Gong Shangze and the rest had guessed it .

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 .
