Urban System: Beautiful lady, I really didn't steal your black stockings!
Chapter 84 Workplace
Looking at the seemingly unassailable atmosphere between Cheng Zhe and Wang Yurou, and at the smiling eyes of the girls around her, she felt like a clown jumping around on the beam. All her arrogance and pride had turned into a huge joke.
At that moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never appear here again.
Cheng Zhe's smile deepened as he took the phone.
After quickly typing in his WeChat ID and sending the friend request, he gently placed the phone back in her hand, pulled out the chair next to her, stretched out his long legs, and sat down naturally.
His movements were so natural, as if he was meant to be sitting there, that they instantly broke the subtle atmosphere at the table.
Cheng Zhe looked up at Li Meng and the others with a gentle smile on his face and took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, my name is Cheng Zhe. I apologize for my rudeness earlier."
He had a clean-cut demeanor and the composure of a mature man. His gentle tone when he spoke instantly put the nervous girls at ease.
Li Meng was the first to come to her senses and quickly replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Cheng, we are Wang Yurou's friends."
Cheng Zhe nodded and casually asked, "You all look quite young, are you students from a nearby school?"
"Yes, yes."
"We are from a nearby college, and it's the weekend, so we just decided to get together."
"A junior college..." Cheng Zhe sighed softly, a look of nostalgia on his face.
"I really miss the carefree days of school. I graduated several years ago and have been working hard to make money ever since. I'm either at work or working overtime every day, and I have even less time to get together with friends."
His words instantly struck a chord with the girls.
They had only six months left before graduation and were both curious and apprehensive about their upcoming work and life. As soon as Cheng Zhe started talking about work and making money, they immediately became interested and gathered around him.
"Brother Cheng, what do you do for a living? Do you earn a lot?"
"Yeah, yeah, we're graduating soon, and we don't know what kind of job to look for. We feel so lost..."
"Is working here tiring? Is the boss strict?"
The girls chattered away, their eyes brimming with curiosity. Even Lin Xi, who had been standing to the side with a cold expression, couldn't help but prick up her ears. However, she still wore an unpleasant expression and didn't interrupt rashly.
Wang Yurou sat next to Cheng Zhe and could clearly smell the faint scent of cigarettes mixed with the aroma of beer on him. Her heart was still beating a little fast, but she was much calmer than before.
As she listened to her sisters' questions, her own curiosity also began to stir within her.
She is about to graduate, and like everyone else, she is both looking forward to and afraid of the unknown work and life ahead.
After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up her courage, raised her head slightly, and glanced at Cheng Zhe out of the corner of her eye.
Her voice still held a hint of shyness: "Brother Cheng... when you first started working, were you also very scared? Not sure if you could do it well..."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached Cheng Zhe's ears perfectly.
Cheng Zhe turned to look at her and found that she was blushing and looking away, but she was still trying to wait for his answer, like a little rabbit cautiously peeking out.
His eyes held a gentle smile, and he softened his tone, patiently replying, "Of course I can, why wouldn't I?"
He picked up the ice-cold beer on the table, took a sip, and gazed into the distance with a look of reminiscence.
He slowly began to speak: "Back then, there was a senior employee in the company named Wang Zhen who, relying on his seniority, would specifically bully newcomers like me."
"He dumps all the dirty and tiring work on me, and only gives me the worst clients. He even tries to steal the credit for the deals I work so hard to close. He even deliberately smears me in front of the leaders, saying that I am incompetent and have a bad attitude."
Upon hearing this, the girls at the table frowned, and Li Meng couldn't help but clench her fists: "That's too much! How can there be such a bad person?"
Chen Yu chimed in, "Exactly! What kind of skill is it to bully newcomers!"
Lin Xi stood to the side, her gloomy expression softening slightly. She couldn't help but listen intently, a hint of empathy flashing in her eyes. She was also afraid of encountering such a colleague after graduation.
Cheng Zhe smiled, his tone devoid of its initial hostility, replaced by a calm and collected demeanor: "Back then, I also felt wronged, and even considered resigning. But then I thought, if I just left like that, wouldn't that be fulfilling his wish?"
"I gritted my teeth and persevered. While others went home, I worked overtime to study customer needs and refine my sales pitches. Even with the worst customers, I followed up with them little by little and gradually accumulated experience."
"About a year later, the company expanded into new businesses, and whoever landed the big deal became the manager." As he said this, a sharp glint flashed in Cheng Zhe's eyes, but it quickly softened.
"I secured the order through my abilities, and the company promoted me to supervisor. Later, I gathered a lot of evidence of his illegal activities and sent it to him."
The girls' eyes lit up, and Chen Yu clapped her hands excitedly, "That's awesome! Brother Cheng, you're amazing! This is what you call a comeback!"
Li Meng nodded in agreement: "Yes! That's how you should deal with these kinds of wicked people!"
Cheng Zhe continued, "Later, I invested in some stocks, all of which made a lot of money. Now I'm basically financially independent. Although I can't call myself a millionaire, my net worth is over ten million."
"Wow—worth tens of millions!" This sentence instantly ignited the girls' emotions. Their eyes were full of admiration and envy, and they all moved closer, listening even more intently.
Cheng Zhe's story is like a wish-fulfillment novel, where he goes from being a bullied newcomer to a successful person with wealth in his hands, directly hitting their aspirations.
It's unclear who started it, but the girls gradually drifted off, their minds filled with fantasies about what would happen after graduation:
Imagine yourself entering the workplace for the first time, being bullied by a sarcastic senior employee, suffering injustice but not giving up, silently working hard to improve yourself, and finally relying on your abilities to rise to the top, slapping those who bullied you in the face in front of everyone, and step by step moving towards success.
As they got into the fun, silly smiles appeared on their faces, and some even clenched their fists as if they were already there.
Wang Yurou sat next to Cheng Zhe, listening intently.
She forgot her shyness and just looked up, her bright eyes fixed on Cheng Zhe's face.
He spoke with composure and calmness, his words revealing a hint of forbearance when he recounted his experience of being bullied, and a confident air when he spoke of his comeback. The mature charm he exuded after weathering the storm made her heart beat faster.
Completely absorbed in Cheng Zhe's story, she sat there obediently, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turning up slightly, her eyes full of admiration. She didn't even notice when Cheng Zhe turned to look at her, still staring at him blankly, completely absorbed in the story.
Looking at Cheng Zhe's face, Wang Yurou suddenly had a thought: he didn't look much older than her, and his features were clean-cut.
Yet this is the person who endured the toughest bullying in the workplace, turned the tables with his own abilities, and even achieved financial freedom with a net worth of tens of millions.
Her admiration for his resilience and skill was so profound that it made her look at him with even more genuine respect and fervor.
