NABC 1. Forced to resign
1. Forced to resign
On the day their group president inspected the branch office, Su Tong finally decided to resign, and had no choice but to resign. She didn't even go through the proper procedures, risking a month's salary and being blacklisted by the company in this industry. She submitted her resignation that day, packed a few things, refused help from several male colleagues, and carried them away by herself.
Although she was just a human resources manager at a branch office, she had reached this position at the age of 26 and was a beautiful woman. She had met with President Xie a few times, so it was impossible for President Xie to have no impression of her at all.
But today, when President Xie came out of the elevator and saw Su Tong, his first words were to ask Manager Li from their branch office: "Hey, Lao Li, when did such a beautiful girl join the company?"
The scene was so awkward that Su Tong wished she could shrink back into her spatial dimension. Even the smiling manager Li's smile froze for a moment before he replied, "President Xie, look at what you're saying. Isn't this Su Tong from our HR department? You're not very familiar with her, so you probably don't recognize her."
Then President Xie stared at her for a full half minute before saying, "Oh, Xiao Su. Long time no see, you've become so much prettier."
Su Tong knew that the president wasn't just flattering her. These past few days, which acquaintance hadn't said the same thing as her first words? She understood that after gaining access to the space, in just a few days, her appearance had changed so drastically that even a stranger wouldn't recognize her!
**************
Su Tong had dreamed of those magical springs in her high school and college years. She never imagined that at the age of 26, after graduating from college and working in society for five years, she would wake up to find herself in a beautiful place with clear waters, lush forests, and fruit trees. In front of her were two gourd-shaped pools of clear water connected by a pavilion behind her. On one side were several acres of farmland, and on the other side were low hills. In the distance, everything was shrouded in a mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Her immediate reaction was, "Could this be space?" But she hadn't made any blood oath with any jade, nor had she encountered any space deity.
I glanced at my watch and realized it was already past 6 a.m. I still had to get up, wash, put on makeup, and go to work! But how could I get out of here?
The thought of leaving had barely crossed her mind when she was instantly back in her bedroom, on her bed. Su Tong felt as if she'd been in a dream, and couldn't help but think, "Go in, go in!" Sure enough, she was back in that space. Grapes, peaches, bananas, pineapples—all sorts of fruits that shouldn't be growing together—were hanging heavily on the branches. The spring water flowing down from the mountain looked so clear again. Su Tong finally...
She was overjoyed and excited to finally realize she had a spatial ability. However, Su Tong was naturally cautious, so even though spatial novels often described the spiritual springs and fruits within them as treasures, she didn't dare to try them lightly.
After taking a pleasant shower and getting ready, Su Tong went into her spatial dimension and filled a bottle with spring water from a small pool at the top. Then she prepared to go to work.
Su Tong knew that an ugly stray dog had been wandering around the community garden recently. She lured it over with a sausage, said to it in her heart, "I'm sorry, but it shouldn't be dangerous," and fed it some spring water from her space. The little dog whimpered softly, wanting more, but Su Tong was afraid that if it was really poisonous, drinking too much would make things worse, so she didn't allow it to drink more.
Then, while at work, she was constantly distracted, her mind preoccupied with the little dog. Finally, she made an excuse to leave a little early and ran to the community garden in her high heels. The ugly little dog with many burn scars on its body came running over barking and affectionately rubbing against Su Tong's feet.
Su Tong was overjoyed to see that it was alright. She found it more and more pleasing to the eye and even noticed that the scars on its body seemed to have faded.
In a moment of excitement, without caring how dirty the dog was and that she was wearing an expensive business suit, she picked up the dog and started walking back. As she walked back to her apartment, she talked to the dog: "I'm sorry for what happened this morning. From now on, you can stay at my house and you won't have to suffer anymore, okay?"
The puppy seemed to understand and barked softly twice.
Su Tong thought the little puppy, though ugly, was adorable, and immediately said, "I found you the day I got my spatial ability, so let's name you Kongkong. Kongkong~"
The puppy responded with a soft bark.
Back in her studio apartment, Su Tong removed her makeup, changed into her pajamas, and washed the puppy clean. In a good mood, she cooked three dishes: stir-fried green beans with pork, hand-torn cabbage, and braised pork. She gave Kong Kong a large bowl and filled it with plenty of meat and vegetables. The two of them enjoyed their freshly cooked dinner together.
After dinner, Su Tong did yoga for half an hour, then put Kong Kong in the bathroom, filled a bowl with spiritual spring water for it, and took a bath towel and a bathrobe to enjoy a spiritual spring bath in her space. When she immersed herself in the pool below, she discovered that the water had an indescribable, subtle fragrance that smelled extremely comfortable. The pool was about 4 or 50 square meters in area, and the entire bottom of the pool looked as if it had been artificially created. The sides were stepped, extending towards the center of the pool. You could easily take a bath while sitting on the steps. The fragrant pool water at the perfect temperature was so comfortable that every pore of Su Tong's body opened up, and she drifted off to sleep.
When Su Tong woke up, more than two hours had passed. She was horrified by the stench and gray-black grime all over her body. She quickly washed the grime off with the spring water, but she was secretly pleased, thinking to herself, "The novels were right. This is clearing away the impurities in my body. Will it make me both beautiful and strong?"
After washing up and eating a bunch of grapes, Su Tong left the space and then carried the little Kong Kong, who was bursting to pee in the toilet, into the space to run around freely. As if she had returned to her teenage years, Su Tong lazily sang a song, searched for a few novels about space online, and then went to sleep.
The next day, Su Tong woke up on her own without using an alarm clock. Not only did she not feel like staying in bed, but she also felt particularly energetic.
While washing up, Su Tong looked at herself in the mirror and exclaimed, "Wow!" From her face to her arms, she was so much fairer! Her already bright eyes seemed even more radiant. She skipped the face cream, just applying eyeliner and mascara, saving herself a lot of time. Finally, she packed a small lunchbox of freshly washed strawberries from her spatial storage and headed out with Kong Kong, saving even more time. She wondered if the spring water had also affected Kong Kong, as it seemed much prettier too.
Su Tong chuckled and squatted down, staring into Kong Kong's round, dark eyes, and interrogated him: "Tell me, Kong Kong, did you secretly use your sister's bathing pool to take a bath?"
Kongkong innocently rubbed its nose against her hand, indicating: Kongkong didn't~
Dogs need to be walked. Su Tong was planning to walk Kong Kong to the company today. When she got to the public restroom not far from Li's company, she went in and quietly put Kong Kong back into her space.
