Chapter 2 — Take Back Your Life

In the hospital room, Luong Thu Y was still crying. The nurse urged: "The contact person came to check, did you sign?" Zhou Jingze tightened the ring. I stood at the end of the hallway looking at him. Finally, he turned around and went back inside. Pick up the pen and sign your name. I went back to the dormitory, brought the couple's ring, ticket stub, keychain, and the notes he had written, all of which I threw into the cardboard box. Lam Diem sat next to him and scolded him until his voice was hoarse. “This guy really should be hung in front of the school gate for everyone to see!” I put tape on the box. “No rush.” “You're still not in a hurry?” I picked up my phone and sent the location to Chu Kinh Trach. “Twelve noon, meet at the coffee shop.” He answered in a split second. “Okay, let's talk.” He came very quickly. The bottom of his eyes were full of blood, his coat still had the smell of hospital antiseptic. The first sentence after sitting down was: "Yesterday you were too hasty and spoke harshly." I pushed the cardboard box over. “Give me my things back.” His face changed. “What do you mean?” "Farewell." He stared at me, like he didn't understand. “Tham Thoi Vi, don't cause trouble.” “I'm not causing trouble.” “Just because you signed one word?” "Not." I looked at him. “Because every time you choose her, you feel like I should sympathize.” Chu Kinh Trach's breath stopped. “I just owe her.” “So what do you owe me?” He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. I smiled faintly. “Can't answer that, right?” “Thi Vi, I will make it up to you later.” “I don't need your future anymore.” He suddenly grabbed my hand. “I don't agree to break up.” I bowed my head and looked at his hand. “Let go.” “Don't let go.” “Zhu Jingze, don't make me feel disgusted with you.” I pulled my hand out, stood up and left. Just as I walked to the door, the phone rang. Is HR based in Beijing. I answered the phone. "Hello classmate Tham, we would like to confirm a bit, is the position change application you sent is of your own volition?" My steps stopped. “What position transfer application?” Chu Kinh Trach stood behind me, his face suddenly changed. HR's voice became serious. "The system shows that you have asked to give up the core position at the Beijing headquarters, moving to the fringe product line of the Nam Thanh branch, the reason is family and partner plans." I opened the job system. The wishes page has changed. Core location of Beijing headquarters: Actively abandoned. Location on the edge of Nam Thanh branch: Waiting for confirmation. In the attached file is my electronic signature. That signature is the version Chu Kinh Trach saved when he helped me make my graduation documents. I slowly turned my head to look at him. “You fix it?” Chu Kinh Trach's lips turned white. "Thi Vi, I'm for your good." These five words completely crushed the last bit of emotion in me. I tightened my grip on the phone, my voice shaking. “For my own good, should I give up Beijing?” “The pressure in Beijing is too great, you will be very tired when you go.” “So you sent me to Nam Thanh?” “We can start over in Nam Thanh.” "We?" I was so angry that I burst out laughing. "You're staying with Luong Thu Y, do you still want me to follow and be the backdrop for the two of you?" Chu Kinh Trach panicked. “It's not what you think!” On the other end of the line, HR continued to say: "Classmate Tham, if it is not your fault, please quickly file a complaint." “Your initial placement has gone into the same school's placement review process.” I closed my eyes. "Okay." The phone hung up. Chu Kinh Trach's phone, which was lying face down on the table, suddenly vibrated. Bright screen. An email preview appears. 【Confirmation of school recruitment preparation】Classmate Luong Shu Y's Beijing headquarters core position preparation documents have been approved. Below is also a small text. Original candidate Tham Thoi Vi has confirmed his resignation, and the reserve process automatically starts. I later learned that when he submitted the preparatory documents to Luong Thu Y, he left his secondary email. I stood at the door of a crowded cafe, suddenly I couldn't hear anything anymore. Chu Kinh Trach reached out to pull me. “Thi Vi, listen to my explanation.” I slapped him straight in the face. The whole cafe immediately became quiet. Chu Kinh Trach tilted his face, his eyes filled with shock. I looked at him: “You let her take my place

i, even my life dare to steal? 【This is a paid part】 Zhou Jingze was stunned by my slap. Everyone in the cafe looked over. He hugged his face, his eyes turning a little red. “Tham Thoi Vi, you hit me?” I held the phone tightly, my voice shaking violently. “You should be glad I only hit you.” Chu Kinh Trach's throat moved, he reached out to pull me. “Let's go out and talk.” I pushed him away. “Say it right here.” “Don't make a big deal out of it.” “Are you scared?” I turned on the speakerphone and called HR Beijing again. “Hello, I confirm that the application for position change was not submitted by me. I would like to freeze the process, check the login history, and verify the source of the electronic signature." HR was silent for a second, his voice immediately serious. “Okay, we will synchronize with the school.” The phone hung up, Zhou Jingze finally panicked.
