I never thought that one day I would stand in the hallway of my own company and be treated like an outsider.
The old foreign trade company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and my father suddenly asked me to return to China to "take over."
But the moment I stepped into the company, I realized:
This is not a home, it is a giant beast.
The rules of the old era, the power of the elders, the internal factions...
Everyone stared at me as if they were an intruder.
What's even more ridiculous is that my father didn't hand over the company to me.
Instead, he gave it to her——
The only daughter of a patriarch, a proud woman who returned from overseas, graduated from a top business school, and has someone to support her.
She was parachuted into the role of "Transformation Lead" and I was made her executive assistant.
In the first meeting, she stole my plan;
In the first conflict, she stepped on my bottom line;
During their first collaboration, she made a mistake that could kill the entire project——
But I took the blame for her.
She raised her head and asked me, "Why are you helping me?"
I am silent. Because I can see that she is not arrogant, but scared;
It's not that he is unruly, but he is carrying a yoke that is heavier than mine.
But the misunderstandings never stop.
My father suspected that I was useless, the elders suspected that I was ambitious, and the comment section suspected that we were ambiguous.
Overnight, I became the center of company gossip;
And she was pushed to the forefront, saying that she relied on my family to stabilize her position.
The day we were almost cornered, she stood in front of me for the first time and blocked all accusations for me.
At that moment I understood——
She is not my opponent, we are the same kind forced by the environment to become enemies.
Later, we led a cross-border team to break the old system.
