My name is Lin Xiaoyang, and I come from a small county town.
In my first job in the provincial capital, I worked hard overtime, but my plan was taken away by the director. When something went wrong, I was pushed out to take the blame. When I left my job, my boss said: "You are still young and this industry is not suitable for you."
I don't believe it.
I opened a studio with a savings of 12,000 yuan, borrowed 60,000 yuan from my partner, lived in a partitioned house in a village in the city, and worked 16 hours a day. I was caught in a free prostitution scheme, cheated out of money by my partners, and maliciously lowered the price, surrounded and spread rumors by my peers. At the worst time, I almost couldn't get my salary paid. I looked at my computer late at night and asked myself: Is it really impossible?
But I met many noble people. The owner of the cafe taught me what a brand is, Lao Zhou from the printing factory taught me the bottom line of life, Fang Xu from the Cultural and Creative Park borrowed 50,000 yuan when I was at my poorest, and Sister Wen from the Women Entrepreneurs Association pushed me to a bigger stage.
In three years, from one person to 100 people, from a monthly salary of 3,500 to an annual revenue of 20 million. Someone asked me what is the most difficult thing? It's not that you don't have money or resources, it's that everyone tells you that you can't do it.
And I want to prove: I have the final say whether I can do it or not.
This is not a cheating story. There are hesitations when borrowing money, tears of betrayal, price wars, and gender-biased slaps. There are also the hands extended by noble people, a bowl of noodles after working overtime late at night, and a heartfelt cry on the day I turned over.
Before breaking out of the cocoon, no one is scarred.
Written to every girl who is not willing to be defined - you can only walk your own way.
Very real and very inspiring
