Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

When Ren Zhong finished selecting the location, it was almost time to return to the main world. As usual, Ren Zhong disappeared from everyone's sight and returned to the big world of 2024.

He had barely returned when he received a life-threatening call from his boss, Director Wang.

"Xiao Ren, you need to dig deeper for highlights in that report on the ten major achievements of the street in 2023. The current version still seems relatively bland and doesn't highlight the difficulties and hardships we faced in 2023 while trying every possible means to fulfill our promises. Polish it up and make the key points, difficulties, and highlights more distinct!"

Without waiting for Ren Zhong to speak, Director Wang rattled off an assignment for Ren Zhong.

He didn't care that it was the weekend.

Of course, as a workhorse who had just entered the system, Ren Zhong wasn't entitled to weekends. He had been living like this for the past half year.

If it weren't for the support of the ocean brought by the time travel, Ren Zhong would now be saying very respectfully: "Yes, Director, I'll revise it immediately." Not for anything else, just to earn a living.

It was so difficult for liberal arts students to find a job, especially a stable, secure job within the system that looked so glamorous to outsiders.

However, today, Ren Zhong wasn't going to pretend anymore. He was going to lay his cards on the table.

His voice was a bit stiff, and he hung up the phone after speaking.

As a workhorse who was quite handy, Director Wang actually had a good impression of Ren Zhong. He deserved to be a dark horse from an ordinary 211 university who could fight his way out of thousands of troops. His writing skills were indeed very good.

Although Director Wang always had to pick out many problems, it was undeniable that after his criticism and Ren Zhong's repeated revisions, the quality of the street's publicity and reports had improved a little.

This was very good. Most newcomers didn't have such skills and understanding. Director Wang, who was almost fifty, hadn't met many clerks who could write formal reports after only half a year, like Ren Zhong.

Who knew that Ren Zhong wouldn't cherish the opportunity like this, which made Director Wang very annoyed, almost unappreciative.

Ren Zhong hung up the phone, turned on the computer, skillfully found a resignation letter, simply copied it, and wrote at the end: The world is so big, I want to see it.

By using this cliché, he vented his dissatisfaction of being a workhorse for the past few months.

Imagining the distorted face that the director might have when he saw this resignation letter, Ren Zhong's heart was instantly comforted and he felt relaxed!

Monday, the street office in the main world.

The director's office.

Director Wang, with his thinning hair, looked at the resignation letter submitted by Ren Zhong. Sure enough, his mouth twitched when he saw the last sentence.

"Xiao Ren, didn't I tell you to rest for two days? Don't be so impulsive. Look, you passed all the tests last year. It wasn't easy. Although there are many trivial matters and the workload is heavy in the street office, there are also many opportunities. The working conditions are much better than in the townships."

Director Wang put Ren Zhong's resignation letter on the table and said earnestly.

"Look, after your one-year internship, you'll become a deputy director-level staff member. Based on your past performance, there's no problem with becoming a full-time employee. After you become a deputy director-level staff member this year, I'm thinking that Lao Huang in the office will retire in the second half of the year, and I'll recommend you to take over Lao Huang's deputy director position. It'll only take you a little over a year to become a deputy director with real power, which is much faster than I did back then. It took me a full seven years to become a deputy director."

Although Director Wang had selfish motives, what he said was actually correct. If Ren Zhong hadn't cheated, he would have worked himself to the bone to repay the director after hearing these words.

As for whether it could be fulfilled at the appointed time, that was another matter.

There were still three deputy director-level staff members with more than five years of experience ahead of him in the office. Although their writing skills were not as good as Ren Zhong's, and they couldn't handle important drafts independently, everyone who could enter the street office, except for talents like Ren Zhong who were indeed a bit awesome, had powerful backers behind them.

"Director, I appreciate your kindness, but I have indeed thought about it. I'm resigning from my job due to personal reasons and becoming a freelancer," Ren Zhong shook his head and said.

"Although it's a bit of a joke that I want to see the world, that's really what I want. Being a freelancer can satisfy my desire to see the world while working. I think this is more suitable for the life I want."

"Xiao Ren, life is not based on imagination. You can't just do whatever you want. You may not be very clear about the risks of being a freelancer. Let me give you a real example from a few years ago. A colleague in our street office also resigned to start a business. Now, guess what he's doing?" Director Wang didn't give up and continued to persuade him.

"He was cheated out of all his money and went bankrupt. Now he's making a living by delivering food, braving the wind and rain. He really regrets it."

"Director, I've already decided. Please grant my request and let's complete the resignation according to a simple procedure. It'll be convenient for everyone. What do you say, Director?" Ren Zhong didn't want to talk to the director anymore.

There were so many things waiting for him to do now, how could he have time to dawdle.

Seeing that Ren Zhong was unyielding, Director Wang also became a little angry.

"Alright, Ren Zhong, since you're so determined, I approve your resignation!" Director Wang said angrily, "But you have to revise this resignation letter. What's wrong with you, following the trend of internet celebrities is a bit low."

Director Wang didn't want to be on any trending topics because of this matter, pointing to the last line of Ren Zhong's letter.

Ren Zhong nodded, "Director, no problem, I'll revise it immediately and give it to you."

The unhappiness in his heart had long since disappeared with the resignation. Ren Zhong really didn't need to argue in this regard. His office computer was still there. He downloaded the file from Microcloud to the office computer and revised it and printed it out in one minute.

Ren Zhong had been in office for less than a year. Because of his good writing skills, he was actually the object of intentional or unintentional exclusion in the office. He didn't have any friends in the office at all. Therefore, his resignation was a good thing for everyone in the office. After all, with one less workaholic and one less competitor, everyone's life would be better (no need to compare with other people's good kids), and there would be more opportunities.

So, watching Ren Zhong pack up and leave, no one offered to keep him.

Everyone tacitly didn't mention it, as if Ren Zhong had never existed. Soon, Ren Zhong's traces in the street office disappeared without a trace.

After Ren Zhong quickly completed the resignation procedures, he then sold more than a dozen silver dollars again, continued to buy amoxicillin capsules in different places, and hurried to the chemical reagent store to get a set of chemical experiment beakers and other experimental equipment and two bottles of nitric acid, rushing back to the Bright Sword world before the return time.

The new book is just a seedling, and urgently needs everyone to collect and follow up to support it. Please!
