I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Mi Chen's President's Office.

When Gu Hanchen heard Huo Shiyuan mention the idea of promoting Yuan Xi to vice president, he paused slightly and said, "Yuan Xi as vice president?"

Huo Shiyuan: "After Mi Yi left Mi Chen, the position of vice president has remained vacant. In terms of qualifications and ability, who else at Mi Chen is more suitable for the position than Yuan Xi?"

Gu Hanchen glanced at Yuan Xi, who was outside preparing tea, then walked over to Huo Shiyuan and lowered his voice: "President Huo, you may not know that Mi Yi is Yuan Xi's senior from Jiang University. That's why, I would rather leave the vice president position vacant than let Yuan Xi take it after Mi Yi left."

Mi Yi was one of the founders of Mi Chen and a senior in the computer science department that Yuan Xi met at Jiang University.

Yuan Xi came to Mi Chen because she was recommended by Mi Yi.

When Mi Chen Game was first established, Gu Hanchen provided the funding and Mi Yi provided the technology.

One and a half years ago, when Gu Hanchen sought investment from Huo Shiyuan, Mi Yi was against it.

Mi Yi felt that she founded Mi Chen for the love of games, not to let capitalists tarnish her efforts.

But at that time, Mi Chen was indeed facing a triple crisis of financial trouble, bad public opinion, and a gaming halt, and with the Gu Family intentionally suppressing the company, they would not have been able to survive without Huo Shiyuan's investment.

After Huo Shiyuan invested and shared the idea with Gu Hanchen about taking Mi Chen public, Mi Yi left the company with the original startup team and sold all her shares to Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan: "Why can't Yuan Xi take over?"

Gu Hanchen said: "The relationship between Yuan Xi and Mi Yi is exceptionally good. I heard Mi Yi plans to establish another game company and currently, even though Yuan Xi, as Mi Chen's secretary, is the one who deals most with the company, ultimately everything has to go through my signature, so it doesn't have much impact on the company. But if the vice president decides to help Mi Yi, it would significantly affect Mi Chen.

I even suspect that Yuan Xi's recent pregnancy and resignation is just an excuse. It must be that Mi Yi is already planning to establish a company and wants Yuan Xi to join her.

That's why I sent Yuan Xi 999 roses and said I would pursue her, to drive a wedge between her and Mi Yi, and also to keep Yuan Xi with Mi Chen…"

Huo Shiyuan: "…"

Yuan Xi, carrying the tea, heard Gu Hanchen's speech and was speechless. It was just like him, the young master raised in the Gu Shipyard.

Yuan Xi: "Mr. Gu, don't worry. Mi Yi has no immediate plans to start another game company. She's traveling around the world. She also said that if she were to start another game company, she would only work on online games and not mobile games; only for the sake of passion.

She won't become a businessperson like you. You can completely trust her concerning Mi Yi."

Yuan Xi didn't play games and didn't understand her senior's attachment to the word 'passion.'

But after selling half of her Mi Chen shares to Huo Shiyuan, Mi Yi made a cash fortune of sixty-eight billion, achieving real financial freedom. Mi Yi was in a position to talk about passion.

Gu Hanchen touched his nose and said: "If you become vice president, will you not resign?"

Yuan Xi nodded, "Hmm."

Huo Shiyuan took the tea cup from Yuan Xi with both hands and looked at Gu Hanchen: "Proceed with the appointment."

Gu Hanchen: "It's such a big deal to appoint a vice president. Don't I need to give it some proper thought?"

"No need, I trust Yuan Xi," said Huo Shiyuan.

Gu Hanchen made a phone call to the HR Director and looked at Huo Shiyuan and Yuan Xi: "When did you two get so close?"

Huo Shiyuan got up: "I'll take my leave first."

After sending Huo Shiyuan downstairs, Yuan Xi turned back to the office and saw that her position had been changed to vice president on the OA system.

The HR Director had also sent her the official appointment letter via email.

Yuan Xi moved into her private vice president's office and sat in the leather swivel chair, overlooking the entire Jiangcheng City Center from a unique perspective. The hard work of the past five years seemed worth it at the sight of such a view.

Yuan Xi opened her best friends' group chat, which was buzzing with discussions about what to wear to Yuan Xi's return banquet the next day.

Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: I've been promoted. From now on, I'm the vice president of Mi Chen Game.

Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: I knew you wouldn't resign!

Sui Sui: Heh, I knew convincing you to quit Mi Chen would be as hard as believing I'm the daughter of the richest man in City A.

Shi Shishitou: Congratulations, congratulations Vice President Yuan, treat, treat. Today we're going to the boutique next to your company to pick out formal attire.

Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: Ok, meet at Shi Yi's at six o'clock, shall we pick out dresses after dinner?

Sui Sui: No way, we need to try on dresses before dinner, I'm afraid I won't fit into the dresses after eating.

Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: Alright.

About half an hour later, Yuan Xi received a call from Monica.

Monica had participated in Shixi's investment in Mi Chen and was very familiar with Mi Chen's operations.

"President Yuan."

It was the first time Yuan Xi heard this title; she was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying, "I'll be relying on you a lot this year."

Monica also chuckled, "Just command me as you see fit, President Yuan."

Yuan Xi went through Monica's daily work with her, and Monica took note of everything.

As night fell, Yuan Xi's phone rang, thinking it was Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui, but to her surprise, it was Huo Shiyuan.

Yuan Xi answered the phone in a soft voice, "I have a dinner with friends today..."

Huo Shiyuan said, "Let me join you all for the dinner."

Yuan Xi had also thought of bringing Huo Shiyuan to meet her friends, smiling, she said, "Alright."

Yuan Xi went downstairs and got into Huo Shiyuan's car, "They are in the building next door, still selecting dresses; let's go up."

Huo Shiyuan followed Yuan Xi up the building, to the boutique on the top floor.

Entering the boutique, they were greeted by a stunning display of high-end custom dresses.

"Who would have thought there would be such a collection of high-end custom dresses here?"

Yuan Xi said to Shi Lei, who was playing with his phone at the entrance.

Shi Lei saw Yuan Xi and said, "President Yuan, how long has it been since we've met? You've become even more beautiful."

"Cough." Huo Shiyuan coughed from behind Yuan Xi.

It was only then that Shi Lei saw the man beside Yuan Xi. Shi Lei, who considered his own height of 1.8 meters quite tall in Jiang City, found himself slightly shorter than the man beside Yuan Xi, "And this is?"

Yuan Xi, holding Huo Shiyuan's hand, said, "My husband."

Shi Lei remembered the marriage certificate photo from their group, "Really?"

"Can real people really be Photoshopped?" Chen Yuan came out wearing a pink trailing dress.

Liang Suisui said, "Chen Yuan, in real life it's not called Photoshop, it's called makeup. But it seems he hasn't worn any makeup."

Yuan Xi, holding Huo Shiyuan's hand tightly, introduced him, "This is Chen Yuan, Liang Suisui, Shi Lei. They are good friends I've known since birth."

Chen Yuan reached out to say hi, "Hello, Yuan Xi's husband."

Huo Shiyuan greeted back, "Hello."

Yuan Xi asked Liang Suisui, "How come there's a boutique of custom dresses here?"

Liang Suisui said, "This boutique is a private collection of a fashion designer, not open to the public. The designer often comes to my family's and Shi Lei's family's fabric factory to order materials. Today, when she came to our factory, she found out that Yuanzi and I were fretting over dresses for the Chu family's party, so she allowed me to come here to pick something. Luckily, I have the same figure as hers."

"Do you want me to ask her, so you can pick one out too? Our figures are quite similar."

Even though Yuan Xi had already prepared a cocktail dress, she knew that the dresses here would indeed be more fitting for tomorrow's homecoming banquet, "Sure, I'll pick one too."

After Yuan Xi followed Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan to pick out dresses.

Shi Lei turned to Huo Shiyuan and said, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, have we met?"

Huo Shiyuan: "We might have."
