"In that office, not only did I have to finish my own work every day, but I also had to make tea for everyone and be scolded by them."Kingston was speechless. Actually, in all fairness, this kind of thing was something he had seen very often, so he was not shocked by it. Putting aside other places and just looking at the Ford Group, this kind of phenomenon was also happening all over those small departments and small branches. If a newcomer was dishonest or would not conform to the group, the person would more or less be taught a lesson by the older staff.Just take Sabrina, for example. When she first started working at the architectural design firm, she was also ostracized to the point that she almost could not continue working there.Fortunately, Sabrina was a person who was unfazed by flattery or humiliation. Her beauty, meticulous thoughts, calmness, and her competency at work could forcibly subdue many people. Besides, Sabrina had very strong support behind her, who was Sebas
"You wouldn't look down on me because of this?" Eevonne asked in disbelief.Kingston laughed incredibly brightly. "You're truly a very cute and silly girl. Of course, I won't look down on you. On the contrary, I felt you're quite witty."Eevonne was speechless. It was after a long while that she asked, "Why is it that you won't look down on me?"Kingston gave it a thought. "Many years ago, I met a girl, and her life at that time was even tougher than yours. At that time, she even had a child with her. When she was looking for a job, she kept getting rejected because she did not have the academic qualifications. In the end, she was already at her wit's end, so she faked her academic qualifications. Since then, she had been working the same job until today. She is already the best of the best in the industry, but she still didn't have a college degree.""R-Really?" Eevonne asked.Kingston nodded. "Of course, it's real.""In fact, a person's academic qualifications don't mean anythi
"Also, he would be criticizing me in front of the whole company. Ever since then, if I say that my position in the company can't even be compared to a dog, would you believe me, Kingston? However, what can I say? Firstly, I did use a fake diploma to get a job that was not supposed to be mine. In terms of my own vanity, I truly did not want to give up because this job at the company would allow me to lift my head up high in front of my mother and her family. Didn't they think that I was a despicable and good-for-nothing person? Didn't they think that a middle school graduate like me was incompetent and would not have a better job than their children, who were college graduates? Look at me. I am now working an office job in a company in the big city. How dignified!"Kingston was speechless. When Eevonne was experiencing that all in the past, he was not involved. He thought that if he was involved at that time, he might be influenced by her boss. On top of that, the girl truly was vain,
Tears welled up in Eevonne's eyes again. "No, I am not a good girl, Kingston. I'm a hot mess. I was not sensible at all. Kingston, I had truly regretted all those things that I had done. Do you know? There is a good saying which says that every pitiful person must have made some mistakes in the past that made them that way. Do you know when I was at the most pitiful moment in my life? It was not when I was discovered to have faked my diploma. It was also not when I stood in front of the entire company was reprimanded in public. It was…it was when I went to my boss, who already hated and looked down on me very much, and asked if I could borrow money from him to satisfy my vanity and to put up a pitiful pride in front of my family. Guess what happened in the end? Once again, that boss used me as an example and criticized me in front of the entire company. He said that my fantasies were too sweet in front of everyone. He said that I was having nothing more than wishful thinking and it was
That kind of grievance was deeply-rooted in her and was unable to be removed."Kingston, do you know the feeling of being brainwashed?" Eevonne raised her teary eyes and looked at him.Kingston immediately put her in his arms. "Tell me, who is that boss? Where is he now?"Eevonne shook her head, smiled miserably, and said, "Kingston, don't blame him. Blame me.""Don't talk about yourself like that, Eevonne!" Kingston said.She shook her head firmly. "Kingston, the matter has already passed so long. Gradually, I understood some people may never be office workers after working for their whole life. She would forever be in the production line. She would just be a part of the working class and at the bottom of society. However, she could still be respected by others. Do you know why? It is because she doesn't owe others anything. She has her feet on the ground. She is not vain. She would stay on her job and work hard to do her job well. She would use her outstanding results to gain th
Eevonne laughed at herself. "Kingston, if your…friend, the friend who had also faked her academic qualifications, had encountered such a matter and was accused by everybody that she had stolen something, how would she deal with it?""Her?" Kingston chuckled. "If it's that friend of mine, this would be a small matter to her. She may not even look at those people who have accused her. She would just do her job seriously as usual. While doing that, she might raise her head and look at the people in her surroundings who were questioning her and ask, 'Do you have any evidence? If you do, call the police to arrest me. If you don't have any evidence, don't be here blocking my way. You're blocking my light. If I made a mistake while drawing the draft, I would come and settle scores with you.' That friend of mine would certainly handle it like that."Kingston was incredibly proud when he said that.He knew Sabrina very well. If she had met such a thing, she certainly would handle it like tha
She was alone and helpless, and she shouted angrily as if she had gone mad. The people next to her certainly thought that she was extremely ferocious. However, only she knew how lonely and helpless she felt at that time.At that moment, when Kingston heard the girl telling him about it, he also understood it. He could very much relate to the feeling of being marginalized and not being trusted."In the future, this…won't happen anymore. It won't happen anymore," Kingston said firmly.The girl sobbed in his arms. "Kingston, do you know that at my age, there has been nobody, there has never been a person like you who is willing to listen to me, let me explain, and have no prejudice against me. You've no idea how it evolved to the point that all of the people in the company collectively suspected that I am a thief. I had become an animal that was despised by everyone in the company. Everyone in the company looked down on me. At that time, my life was simply a living hell. However, it so
Kingston looked at Eevonne with a confused expression. "This matter has been clarified, but could it be that they still blamed you?"Eevonne nodded. "Not only did they blame me, but none of the people present apologized to me. On the contrary, they kept accusing me.""Assholes!" Kingston shouted.After crying for a while, Eevonne had already calmed down. She then recounted softly and calmly, "The thing that was missing from the company was a small art piece of a famous tower. It had been gifted to the company by a client from abroad. Originally, the art piece had always been placed on my boss' wife's desk. However, that morning, the tower was suddenly missing. The following day after I went against the entire company because of this matter, it so happened that another client wanted to take a look at our new products. My boss and the lady who was in charge of the company logistics then took the key and went to open the door of the showroom. In that instant when the door opened, bot
