Yan Xixi was in a cab when she received a follow-up call from Xu Xiaoya. After listening to Xixi’s vivid recounting, Xu Xiaoya burst into laughter. Original content can be found at NovєlFіre.net "Xixi, after tricking him like that, you’ve definitely blown your chances for this job. Ai! It felt good, I’ll admit, but it’s still a shame about the position. That’s a large state-owned enterprise, you know! So many people are desperate to get in, and the benefits are excellent..." Yan Xixi said unconcernedly, "Even if I hadn’t tricked him, I still wouldn’t have gotten the job. Think about it. Since he’s already harboring such ill intentions, would I have a good time in the company even if I got in? He would definitely find ways to make trouble for me. Since I wouldn’t be able to last there anyway, why not give him a taste of his own medicine? HAHAHA, he brought this on himself. Xiaoya, let me tell you, the weaker a person is, the more they get bullied. Why should we always have to swallow our anger and endure it?" "That’s true. If people hit you, hit them back; if they curse you, curse them back! Take my family, for example. They used to take it for granted when I gave them tens of thousands. Today, I didn’t give them money to open a hot pot restaurant, did I? I thought they would be furious with me. But guess what? My mom actually called me and said not to worry about the hot pot restaurant; they’ll figure it out, and my brother isn’t allowed to ask me for money anymore. She just hopes I can visit more often... They were never this polite when I was good to them. Xixi, sometimes I really don’t understand human nature. Why are people so strange?" In human relationships, it’s either the east wind overpowering the west wind, or the west wind overpowering the east wind. If you back down, others will advance. Yan Xixi had discovered this very early on: it was a question of magnetic fields. The more unfortunate a person is, the more misfortune they face. Even walking on flat ground can lead to a fall, no one wants to be their friend, and nothing goes well. In the long run, the situation keeps getting worse. Eventually, they just give up, sinking into the mire with no hope of turning their life around. But once you get through it, that bad luck goes away. Bad luck bullies the weak and fears the strong, just like ghosts, which also steer clear of evil people. "Xixi, what are you going to do if you lose this job?" She said nonchalantly, "No problem, I have a better one in hand; it’s a Fortune 500 company." "Is it a sure thing?" "I don’t know if it’s a sure thing, but most of the interviewers there are women." In fact, female interviewers had a more discerning eye. Among the five job applicants—four women and one man—two of them had a bunch of impressive qualifications. In comparison, Yan Xixi’s bare-bones diploma looked a bit shabby. Especially when the interviewers scanned them with X-ray-like gazes, she straightened her back slightly to appear more alert and composed. The young man seemed the most relaxed, possessing an underlying confidence. After all, men often have an advantage in the workplace, especially when the gender ratio is so skewed. The other three young women, however, couldn’t maintain their composure. Being young, they were exceptionally nervous. When the interviewers scanned everyone, it was clear at a glance that all three women had undergone plastic surgery. Their noses, eyes, or chins all showed signs of having had work done. The most obvious was the nose, as all three had high, straight noses that looked almost identical. It was like watching a Korean drama where, at first glance, all the female stars seemed to have the same nose. In this day and age, for women to compete in their careers, they can’t afford to be unattractive on top of needing solid capabilities; otherwise, they wouldn’t even get a foot in the door.
