"I was in a foreign country a while ago, and before I knew it, you had quietly left. If you are unhappy, you can talk to me, and I will do my best to help you resolve it."

"I called you."

"Really? Maybe I was busy in a meeting at that time and didn't answer it in time."

I remained silent and listened quietly to his somewhat false excuse.

"It was my son's impulsiveness that led to your resignation. He was young and hot-tempered, and he was thinking about the company, so he got angry with you at the meeting. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with him."

"Please forgive him this time for my sake. You will be back to work tomorrow. I will treat these few days as a holiday for you and your salary will be paid as usual."

I smiled and said, "Michael Miller has found someone else. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return."

" I get so angry when I mention this. The person he found is totally useless. He is inefficient and has a bad temper. He really invited a ancestor. Compared with you, there is a world of difference."

I listened in silence as he complained about the new master. He seemed to sense my impatience and offered me an olive branch.

"Let me give you this, to compensate you, if you are willing to come back, your salary will be tripled. The market is not good now, layoffs and salary cuts are common, only our company is willing to give you such a big increase, you must cherish this opportunity."

In name, it is a salary increase, but in fact, it is emotional manipulation of me. If it weren't for Lily 's reminder, I might really be grateful to him. But now my eyes have been opened, and thinking back to his previous words and deeds, they are all means to manipulate me.

I sneered, "I'm sorry, but your rival company is willing to pay me five times as much. Do you think I'm still as easy to fool as before? I've created profits for the company over the years, so you should give me a raise, not charity. Besides, my abilities are there, and you've been taking advantage of me all these years."

" So, stop daydreaming. I'm not going back. You guys should clean up your own mess." I hung up the phone.

The next moment, Lin 's message arrived as expected.

[Brother, you are awesome! ]

[I just overheard you scolding the chairman outside the meeting room. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.]

[But this new master is really too arrogant. I found that there was a problem with the parameters he debugged, so I mentioned it, and he actually scolded me. ]

[I think he has no ability at all. If he continues like this, the machine will break down sooner or later.]

I thought to myself: [Send me that data. ]

Lin then took a few photos and sent them to me.

As Lin said, the new master's data had serious problems. He did not consider the machine's carrying capacity at all and just debugged it randomly.

I frowned and subconsciously wanted to remind Lin to pay attention to the risks. However, at this moment, the chairman called again.

This time his tone was no longer gentle, revealing a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.

"Ethan, I'll give you one more chance, will you come back or not?"

I rejected him in the same cold tone.

The chairman said "OK" three times in a row, each one more gloomy than the last.

"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"Young man, you don't even know how much you are capable of in society. With your limited ability, you dare to act rashly in front of me?"

"In this industry, I have a much bigger say than you. What's the use of a mere technician like you?"

" Just wait for the court summons. Don't come to me when you are ruined."

"I have a clear conscience in the company. What can you sue me for?"
