Chapter 1335 Don't want to be a eunuch? You have to!

"That's it!"

Shi Xiaomeng closed his eyes, suppressing the negative emotions stirred up by the overly realistic and cruel future possibilities deduced by He Chen, and tried his best to adjust himself.

In the original storyline, his negative emotions were described in advance to foreshadow his descent into darkness.

For example, the pride of being just a few points away from getting into Tsinghua or Peking University!
For example, he might become impulsive and irritable at the slightest disagreement because of the landlady's contempt for him.

For example, when he hailed a taxi for his girlfriend, she advised him to save money by taking the bus. The taxi driver who stopped the car mocked him, saying he had no money and couldn't afford to date, which angered him.

All these circumstances indicate that his dissatisfaction with his lack of money, stemming from being harshly criticized by society, has reached its limit.

If he were a woman, especially a beautiful one, the subsequent plot would have been that he would turn evil, fall into prostitution, or become a mistress.

But he isn't.

Thus, he could only turn to the dark side, transforming from a principled fighter who repeatedly hits a wall into a villainous fighter who abandons all principles, uses any means necessary to succeed, and is despicable. He becomes one of the countless examples in the TV drama world where the lower class, no matter how hard they try, cannot grasp wealth while remaining a kind and good person, whereas only the rich second generation can manage to do so.

He Chen has now described to him the experience of gradually forcing him to turn to the dark side, and he is about to lose control. The negative and irritable emotions in his heart are about to explode.

But none of that has happened yet, and He Chen is in front of him, making him feel the despair and anger he felt in the original story, but without his principles and bottom line being completely shattered.

With He Chen in front of him, he would never be able to experience the despair he felt in the original story.

So he closed his eyes and adjusted for a while, finally sighed, opened his eyes and made a decision: "If it really comes to that, I won't get the 8 yuan bonus, and the deposit will be lost. I'll just consider it the price for my previous blind and reckless work. I will never make that choice!"

"Well done!" He Chen patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction when he heard him say that. "It seems you've figured it out!"

Losing your deposit is indeed very painful.

But if you only focus on this, only thinking about not letting the deposit go to waste, and forget about everything else, you will only go further and further down the wrong path, and become more and more desperate.

You must understand that if you go in the wrong direction, the more you persist, the further you will get from success.

Now, putting yourself in a do-or-die situation is the right choice you've made.

By being prepared to lose the deposit, this seemingly hopeless situation actually offers room for maneuver.

"What do you mean?" Shi Xiaomeng's spirits lifted.

"First of all, your mindset is already invincible." He Chen didn't say this before, but he said it now because Shi Xiaomeng's statement satisfied him.

If even Shi Xiaomeng himself doesn't have the determination to fight to the death and still thinks he can get through this cruel and tragic situation without losing anything, then He Chen would rather watch him turn evil, and then restrain him after he turns evil, making him even worse, but only targeting those who harmed him.

People must help themselves before Heaven will help them!

Now that he has this initiative, He Chen is willing to help him more so that he doesn't have to experience those cruel and tragic things.

Originally.

Why would such a sunny and kind person turn evil? "It's just a deposit gone down the drain. Just consider it tuition, just consider it a mistake in choosing the top A-shares company. What's the big deal?" He Chen laughed.

"The 80,000 yuan bonus is gone, is it a lot of money? In this era of rapid growth, if you feel that you can't easily earn 80,000 yuan in the future, let alone earn 80,000 yuan a month, if you can't save 80,000 yuan a year, then don't be a struggling migrant worker in Beijing. Go back to your hometown and live a comfortable life. Isn't that better than this?"
So the house, the deposit, the 8 yuan bonus—things that seem incredibly important to you—aren't actually that important, right?

"Hmm!" Shi Xiaomeng suddenly understood. Encouraged by He Chen, he felt that he could breathe smoothly again, and his eyes were filled with light. He was almost overwhelmed by the house, the deposit going down the drain and the 8 yuan bonus.

"Don't stay at this lousy company run by your fellow villager. Staying here will only be a waste of your youth!" He Chen suggested.

“Just confront your fellow townsman and boss directly. If he thinks you're capable and still considers you a fellow townsman, then he won't bother you anymore and will give you the promised 8 yuan bonus. That way, both of you can save face and maintain a small but last bit of goodwill.”

If he doesn't agree and even tries to manipulate you, then you should just flip the table and make a scene in public, letting his employees see how he treats his fellow villager who lost 10 pounds in three years and generated 9 million yuan in profit for him.

If he treats you this way, given that you both generate profits and have a strong sense of community with your fellow townsmen, what hope is there for the other employees?

Of course, this might be of little use, since the reason you're so depressed is because you can't afford the risk of losing your job, and many of your colleagues are probably in the same boat.

But it will at least disgust your fellow townsman and boss.

Moreover, those colleagues, even if they don't resign, will definitely be affected, and will take it easy and stop being lured by the boss's empty promises to work hard.

This has caused your boss losses that are definitely more than just 8!
That means you're too honest!
Otherwise, given your ability to generate 900 million in profit for him over three years, you could have easily secured your reasonable compensation long ago, before you bought the house and before each project was completely finished. You wouldn't be going through all this trouble now.

You vividly demonstrate that honest people deserve to have a gun pointed at them, and those who are capable of working hard will work hard their whole lives!

And your fellow villager boss, he's both wicked and stupid!
Instead of trying to win you over and cultivate you as one of their own, this capable fellow villager subordinate is relentlessly exploiting you, refusing to even give you the meager 8 yuan bonus you deserve.

nausea!

too disgusting!

It's a small expense, but not much!

This is even dumber than those idiots who cut staff to the point of exhaustion!
He always thought about making his small company bigger and stronger!
"You think you can grow big and powerful by exploiting someone like you who could have been his right-hand woman?"

Shi Xiaomeng hesitated at first, subconsciously not wanting to make things too awkward with his fellow villager boss. But when he heard He Chen cursing at his fellow villager boss, calling him bad and stupid, he got angry too.

Yes!

Why did his fellow townsman's boss treat him like this?

Is it because he is not honest enough, not grateful enough, not good enough, not capable enough, or unwilling to be the right-hand man of his fellow villager boss?
None of them!
Is it just because he adhered to his principles and refused to become a eunuch?

Shi Xiaomeng suddenly remembered what his fellow townsman and boss had once told him: there's no other trick to marketing, just one thing: "Men should be as shameless as eunuchs, and women should be as flirtatious as prostitutes. That's how you close deals. Xiaomeng, you're not as good as your competitors because you're too concerned about saving face!"

He did not agree with this, so the fellow villager boss thought he was arrogant and superior, and then became hostile towards him.
Just like the drinking culture at banquets, where bosses used to drink until they vomited, now those who beg for their favors must also drink until they vomit.

Back when his fellow villager was working hard in Beijing, did he completely abandon his dignity and become as lowly as a eunuch, so he absolutely wouldn't allow Shi Xiaomeng to be treated like a human being?
