Blossoms After Resignation

Su Xiaoyu, an advertising planner, finally cried while eating a jianbing guozi (a Chinese crepe) on the day she handed in her resignation—she’d been robbed of credit by her boss for years and had just been hospitalized for gastric bleeding from overwork. While sorting old items, she found her college hand-drawn silver jewelry designs and posted a tutorial on Xiaohongshu on a whim, gaining 100,000 followers in three days. Even more surprisingly, Lin Shen, her former crush and now a cultural and creative CEO, showed up, wanting to co-launch a “Rebirth After Resignation” collection. But Lin’s “business rationality” made Su doubt if he only cared about her traffic—until a live stream accident: samples were destroyed, and Lin stayed up all night making backups with the old silver piece Su gave him years ago, pulling out a love letter: “I’ve waited seven years for you to be brave enough to be yourself.” When her brand debuted at the city’s cultural fair, her ex-boss came with a plagiarism plan, but Su pulled out her design manuscripts from college to now, smiling: “Quitting wasn’t escaping—it was finally daring to walk toward my own blossoms.”
