Hearing this, I was puzzled, just looking at him uncertainly, not knowing what it had to do with my mother.
“It’s a bit complicated. You’re just recovering from illness, so I’ll keep it brief.”
“When I was young, I had a relationship with your mother. We broke up amicably later, but neither of us knew that she was already pregnant
with you at the time. After much hesitation, she still decided to give birth to you.”
“I only found out about this recently”
“But you know, I now have a harmonious family, with a wife and legal heirs. I hope your identity remains known only to the two of us.”
“However, after all, you carry my bloodline. You can make some reasonable requests, and I will try my best to fulfill them.”
There wasn’t a hint of emotion in his tone; rather, it was as if he was discussing an insignificant business deal.
“Thank you, Mr. Quinn. I will consider it carefully.” I smiled and agreed. He seemed very satisfied with my understanding of the situation and praised me a few more times: “When we were negotiating the deal before, I felt we had a good rapport. I didn’t expect we would have this kind of
connection.”
“Your professional quality is very good. If you’re willing, the doors of Quinn Corp will always be open for you. For example, how about the position of General Manager of the Business Department at Quinn Corp?”
“What did you say?”
I widened my eyes, unable to believe what I had heard.
It wasn’t that I was worried about my lack of ability, but that I couldn’t believe the opportunity for revenge I wanted had been handed to me so
easily.
“No need to be so surprised. You are fully capable. I’m just helping you avoid some detours.”
It was only at this moment that I understood why he had gone to such lengths to wait here and tell me this story.
The industry circle is only so big. The scene Rachel made a while ago was so ugly, it must have spread throughout the circle by now.
I didn’t expect him to go to such lengths, actually harboring the intention of poaching me.
But when opportunity knocks at the door, how could I not cherish it?
“Alright, Mr. Quinn. I can report for duty anytime.”
After seeing Mr. Quinn off, I realized my phone had died at some point.
As soon as I charged it and turned it on, Manager Johnson’s messages and calls bombarded me, almost causing the phone to crash.
Just as I was about to ignore him and continue resting, the phone started ringing again.
After some hesitation, I still answered the call, wanting to see what new tricks he was up to.
“You bitch, you finally answered the phone.” The first sentence was a barrage of insults: “Being the top salesperson for a few years really made you think you’re something!”

“Where did you put the contract with Quinn Corp? I advise you to hand it over quickly if you know what’s good for you! I might still consider keeping you in the company. Otherwise, you’ll never set foot in our company again in this lifetime!”
Listening to his impotent rage, I suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the news of my mother’s critical condition came too suddenly.
I only had time to ask for leave before rushing to the hospital. I hadn’t had time to do any handover.
Previously, constrained by my mother’s illness and needing this job, I had always been submissive.
Now that he no longer had any means to control me, I naturally didn’t need to swallow my anger anymore: “Looking for the contract? Why are you asking me? Ask your top salesperson.”
“I’ve already submitted my resignation. I quit, and I don’t plan to clean up your mess.”
