Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Resignation, Breeze, Sunshine, and Freedom

[Black Spoon: A spoon with a system-enhanced design, featuring a perfect handle angle. It can be used for stirring with ease, and for serving soup or scooping water. Made from specialty materials, its surface has an invisible coating, providing heat insulation without absorbing the smell of any food.]

The entire spoon is deep black, with the handle wrapped in some unknown black wood. The weight of the spoon is just right. Chen Mo weighed it in his hand and felt it was very handy.

With this thing, taking on ten people should be a breeze.

The system description seems somewhat mysterious, but how it actually performs during use is unclear; it’ll have to wait for tomorrow’s test.

After playing with the spoon for a while, Chen Mo turned over and looked out the window. Liu Chengming, who was lying on the ground, was gone, and the others were also nowhere to be seen. Most likely, they went back to their wards since Chen Mo went into the vehicle to sleep, leaving them no option.

Chen Mo just sat on the bed, stretched his arm forward, set the destination to the unfinished building, and then lay back on the bed.

The smart driving feature is simply unbeatable. The only pity is that it’s not very useful in the city during the day, as Chen Mo still has to sit in the driver’s seat and hold the steering wheel.

Otherwise, it’s easy to get caught using a phone while driving, resulting in fines and demerit points.

Life passed like that quietly, lying in the car at the unfinished building, Chen Mo thought, when will it all end…

Now, as long as he worked diligently, the food truck could earn over ten thousand a day. Chen Mo felt a faint urge to quit his job.

The deeper the night, the stronger the impulse.

This thought kept swirling in his mind, and Chen Mo tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night. The next morning, just past nine, he received several messages from Jiang Fei on his phone.

[Boss Jiang: You little rascal! Today Liao Feng came and bragged for half a day. I’ve already written the third place report for you; just rest at home until the end of the month, then come back to work!]

[Boss Jiang: The selection for excellence is arranged. Don’t gossip with others. You’ll have a share in next year’s position rating with this year’s Excellent Award!]

Looking at Jiang Fei’s messages, Chen Mo laboriously rolled over on the bed, grabbed a small notebook from the dashboard, and scribbled randomly.

“Either continue to work and set up the stall. The problem with the unfinished building is no longer a problem. The benefit of doing this is stability!”

“Or decisively resign, abandon the unfinished building! From now on, drive the small food truck and roam freely, wherever I end up, become a drifter!”

No problem.

Chen Mo felt if he didn’t have a job, there was no need to worry about the mortgage issue, as it wouldn’t affect the use of his WeChat balance. He had inquired about it during a previous rights protection effort.

It only affects the credit report, and since it is indeed an unfinished building, the bank won’t sue the homeowners who refuse to repay the loans.

“To hell with it, let’s do it!”

Without further thought, Chen Mo entered the company location into the navigation, turned on the smart driving mode, and soon arrived at the company.

“Hey, didn’t I tell you to rest at home? Why are you at the company?” Jiang Fei was steeping tea and watching a series, recently enchanted by the Great Ming Dynasty. Seeing Chen Mo, he waved his hand, “Come over and help me figure out why my computer keeps prompting a virus scan.”

Chen Mo went over, quickly uninstalled the 360 antivirus, said nothing, and returned to his desk to print a resignation letter.

Reason for resignation: The world is so big! I want to see it too.

Then…

“Did you make a mistake?” Jiang Fei glanced at it and casually tossed it into the trash can beside him, then bent over to pick it up, “Are you nuts?”

This job is not only easy but also allows you to gain some benefits within the rules, and compared to local salaries, it’s much higher by several tiers.

Frankly, if jobs could be bought and sold now, there would be many willing to pay four or fifty thousand for Chen Mo’s position.

“I’m not nuts.” Chen Mo sat next to Old Jiang, “I’ve recently figured it out; being so young yet stuck in the company like you, seeing my future path clearly, it’s meaningless.”

Seeing people glancing over, Jiang Fei turned both their chairs toward the wall.

He lowered his voice, “Don’t mess around. I know things aren’t easy at home for you; you just bought a house a few years ago. You’re young, don’t act on impulse.”

Seeing Chen Mo remaining silent, Jiang Fei patiently continued, “Don’t listen to those people online talking nonsense about how ’the world is so big, I want to see it’ or ’youth has no price, the train directly reaches wherever.’ Tell me, if you don’t have money, how are you going to see it?”

Chen Mo thought to himself, even though I don’t have money, I have a system in my head.

But he couldn’t say that.

He could only sigh, “Boss Jiang, I have my own difficulties, some personal matters I just can’t talk about. I must resign, I’m not joking with you.”

Jiang Fei stared at Chen Mo for a long time.

They had worked together for several years, and Jiang Fei knew Chen Mo quite well.

He never liked to complain, whether he worked more or less, Chen Mo wouldn’t speak out, and for someone with this personality, if he seriously said something, he had thought it through.

Jiang Fei frowned, “Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes.”

He sighed, “Then go. Leave this document with me. Even if you leave, let’s include it in this month’s evaluation! Well, we are all grown men, nothing more to say.”

Chen Mo knew Old Jiang had a good heart and said apologetically, “Sorry, Boss Jiang.”

Jiang Fei waved his hand, just sighed, and said nothing.

There wasn’t much in the company, so Chen Mo left the building alone, returned to the food truck, and felt a sense of relief once certain decisions were made.

Ding dong~

He picked up his phone to check; it was still Jiang Fei.

[Boss Jiang: I’ll see if I can arrange an unpaid leave for you. Don’t waste such a good job. You can have a place to return to whenever you’re tired of traveling the world.]

Chen Mo grinned and replied: Sure!

He used to have a job and knew what to do daily. Suddenly without a job, Chen Mo felt a bit bewildered, not knowing what to do.

Oh, right…

Chen Mo thought about how he always wanted to visit Wanglong Mountain in Wu County before, but it was either because he didn’t have time due to work or was too lazy to go when he had the time. Now as a free man, he could go.

Once he decided to go out, he had to act on it!

Chen Mo first drove to Ning County to buy fifty pounds of tofu to store in the cabinet, then went to the slaughterhouse to buy dozens of pounds of beef from the auntie, also storing it.

Finally, he arrived at Yueyun Pavilion…

“You’re here to stock up again?” Mu Xin looked at the little yellow car, feeling increasingly irritated, “Hey, I mean, if you really like the food business, how about I invest in a shop for you? If you open it in Guangzhou, the profits are yours, and the losses are mine.”

Chen Mo: ???

What kind of new investment scam is this?

“Uncle Mu.” It was the first time he addressed Mu Xin this way, “To be honest, I’ve already resigned and am planning to do the food business full-time.”

Normally, resigning from such a good job would be shocking news for an elder.

Unexpectedly.

“What! Resignation is great, you really quit? That’s wonderful!” Mu Xin clapped his hands excitedly, “Now that you’ve quit, Mu Mu definitely won’t last long either. Both of you quit, and we’ll go back to Guangdong to open a restaurant!”

Question marks filled Chen Mo’s head.

The staff at the restaurant helped load fifty cleaned Qingyuan chickens onto the food truck, while Mu Xin continued to dream about a glorious future.

“By then, you handle Tianhe Baiyun and Yuexiu, I’ll manage Liwan and Haizhu, and Panyu, we’ll grow bigger and stronger!”

Chen Mo realized that Mu Mu likely inherited too much of his father’s genes because on their first day of street vending, Xiao Mu imagined turning Chen Mo’s food truck into the most awesome food truck in the world.

“Uncle Mu, I currently have no plans to open a restaurant. Um… as for resigning, it’s also because I want to travel around. So, I won’t tell Mu Mu about this, please let her know for me.”

Mu Xin’s grand vision was interrupted by Chen Mo, who stared in surprise at the young man.

You don’t want the easy way, prefer the hard way?

“There’s nothing else. I might not come to get stock from you in the future. I’ll be off now!”

Mu Xin watched in a daze as Chen Mo left the restaurant and jumped into the food truck.

No… how did this happen so suddenly? Could it be a young people’s quarrel?

Hou Yao, on the other hand, stood at the door with an appreciative look, watching the food truck drive away, “Youth is great. Xiaochen probably wants to travel around Huaxia, tasting all the delicacies, to deepen his skills. Tsk!”

For some reason, Hou Yao felt a vague sense of anticipation.

Anticipating the next meeting with Chen Mo!

Leaving Yueyun Pavilion, Chen Mo was truly relaxed this time, starting intelligent driving and connecting the phone’s Bluetooth. Despite the food truck’s humble appearance, the audio quality was surprisingly good.

For a food truck that doesn’t need him to refuel, recharge, and can even replicate some ingredients and seasonings.

Chen Mo felt he really succeeded in low-cost vending.

“Nothing can stop~”

“My yearning for freedom~”

The song of the Sinopec spokesperson came from the speakers.

Pressing down the window, the breeze ruffled Chen Mo’s bangs as the little yellow car slowly moved toward the highway entrance to Wanglong Mountain.

The words on the side subtly changed under the play of light and shadow.

Chen Mo’s food truck!
