Sun Xue looked embarrassed and placed her hopes on Bach.

"Bach, it's really not easy to train an excellent manager like Xiao Li. Otherwise, you can try to persuade her, maybe she will stay."

Bach said, "How can I persuade her? Ask me to agree to be her boyfriend? I can't do that. I can't sacrifice my life's happiness just to keep a manager, right?"

Sun Xue listened to Bach's words with a surprised look on her face, and couldn't help but speak out her guess, "Could it be that Li Siyu resigned because of you? She confessed to you but was rejected, so...she left the company out of spite? Is that right, Bach?"

Bach didn't want to tell Sun Xue about the conversation between him and Li Siyu. He knew very well that the real reason why Li Siyu resigned was because of the two of them.

He didn't want to break the beauty between him and Sun Xue, and he didn't want to put pressure on Sun Xue.

He wanted to fulfill what he had said to Li Siyu. Loving someone does not necessarily mean owning them. Protecting someone silently is also a kind of happiness.

Now, he is in this state.

During this time when he returned home for a few months, he almost went against his inner voice and made the wrong decision.

The old man's condition worsened, and his family was afraid that he would have an accident and leave regrets, so they insisted on forcing him to get married.

The blind date partner was naturally a wealthy girl who was carefully selected by his family and was a good match for him.

Beautiful and elegant, noble temperament and knowledgeable.

Under pressure, he had no choice but to get along with her. Just when the two families were discussing marriage, he finally chose to escape.

He suddenly realized that Sun Xue had already lived in his heart, and his heart was no longer open to anyone.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart and in two different countries, it still couldn't stop his crazy longing for her...

Bach tried his best to avoid the topic. "Sun Xue, no matter what the reason is for her resignation, you just need to face it calmly. She let you down, not you let her down, so why should you be sad about it?"

"But Bach..."

Bach interrupted Sun Xue and said, "I understand what you mean. You are afraid that her sudden resignation will bring pressure to your next work, right?"

Bach continued to reassure her, "It is normal for managers to leave during your career. Now that she has left, we can only look for new candidates."

Sun Xue still felt a little disappointed. What Bach said was simple, but finding a suitable candidate was not that easy.

Bach had no intention of persuading Li Siyu at all. He could see that his rejection meant that Li Siyu was determined to leave.

Bach didn't think this was a bad thing. It was better to leave. If he continued to be like this, it would be detrimental to Sun Xue's work in the future.

"Sun Xue, why don't you consider Manager Hao from your northern market? I think she is also very good, mature and stable, and has management experience."

Sun Xue shook her head. "Manager Hao may not agree. Last time I asked her to be the Northern Market Manager, she declined. She is old and doesn't want to continue to work like this."

"You didn't communicate with her, so you are so sure that she won't agree?"

Sun Xue thought about it and felt that what Bach said made sense. At this time, only Hao Dongmei could take on this important task.

"Then I'll call her now."

Sun Xue immediately called Hao Dongmei and said, "Manager Hao, please come to Magic City tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with you."

Hao Dongmei smiled and asked, "Boss Sun, what's the important matter that can't be discussed over the phone?"

Sun Xue had no choice but to evade the question, "It's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. You'll know when you come."

Hao Dongmei did not refuse and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll fly over tomorrow."

After making the call, Sun Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now at least there is a backup candidate, so we are not at the end of our rope.

Bach joked, "Isn't this problem solved? In my opinion, Manager Hao is not necessarily worse than Xiao Li. Don't worry too much. I will personally guide her until she gets the hang of it."

Sun Xue nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

The next day at noon, Sun Xue picked up Hao Dongmei at the airport.

As soon as they met, Hao Dongmei rubbed her waist and sighed and shook her head, "Mr. Sun, I am too old to stand the hardship. I feel uncomfortable in my waist after just a few hours of flight."

Sun Xue's heart skipped a beat.

Hao Dongmei feels unwell after sitting on a plane for several hours, so she would definitely not agree to travel around the country to manage dozens of schools.

She swallowed the words back...

"Boss Sun, why are you so urgent to ask me to come to Demon City? What's the matter?"

Sun Xue lied, "Manager Hao, I just want you to come to Magic City to relax and take a look at the development of the Southern School and ask for your opinions."

Hao Dongmei saw through Sun Xue's thoughts early on and smiled, "Boss Sun, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Do we still need to beat around the bush?"

Sun Xue smiled embarrassedly, "Manager Hao, it seems that nothing can be hidden from your eyes. Then I will tell you directly, Manager Li is leaving, and I want you to take over her job and serve as the general manager of the training institution."

Just as Sun Xue expected, Hao Dongmei declined without any hesitation, "Mr. Sun, I really can't take on this important task. If it weren't for our friendship, I would have planned to retire this year."

Sun Xue tried her best to persuade him to stay. "Manager Hao, please help me for the last time. Now is a difficult period. You can make plans after this period. Is that ok?"

Sun Xue was full of desire and couldn't wait to say, "Just ask for any conditions you have, whether it's salary or other things, I will definitely satisfy you."

Hao Dongmei's eyes were filled with love and pity for Sun Xue. She could see the pressure that Li Siyu's resignation brought to Sun Xue.

They met by chance in the park a few years ago. At that time, Sun Xue was still reading English aloud desperately by the lake in the park.

A few years later, Sun Xue had grown into a successful female entrepreneur, and they actually became a superior-subordinate relationship.

She witnessed the counter-cyclical growth of this girl who came from a humble background but refused to succumb to fate over the past few years, and also witnessed the hardships she faced on her entrepreneurial journey.

She felt sorry for Sun Xue's situation, but she was too old to do anything about it.

"Mr. Sun, I want to help you, but please understand that my health doesn't allow it. So, I'll contact my student, who is a university English professor, and ask him to meet with you to talk."

In the evening, Sun Xue and Bach welcomed Hao Dongmei.

Hao Dongmei contacted her students on the spot.

Unfortunately, the other party politely declined Sun Xue's invitation.

After dinner, Bach went to the hotel to rest, and Sun Xue proposed to accompany Hao Dongmei to appreciate the night view of Magic City.

Hao Dongmei naturally understood Sun Xue's intention.

The two strolled along the Bund and talked a lot, from how they met to their current work and life.

It is already late autumn, and the evening breeze brings a slight chill.

Hao Dongmei subconsciously wrapped her coat tightly around her, but Sun Xue saw it all.

She took off her coat and smiled affectionately, "Auntie Hao, you are not feeling well, don't catch a cold, put on my coat."

As he said this, he naturally put the coat on Hao Dongmei.

It was this warm gesture that made Hao Dongmei's eyes warm.

Looking at the girl next to her who was about the same age as her daughter, with a hint of sadness between her brows, she could feel the anxiety in Sun Xue's heart at the moment.

Thinking about the past, she suddenly felt that it was not easy for this strong and competitive girl!

In an instant, she softened.

She stopped, her eyes slightly red, and spoke in a gentle tone, "Xiao Sun, Auntie promises you."

Sun Xue's eyes were filled with joy, and she jumped up like a child, "Really? Auntie."
