The day Zhao Yiran joined Huichuan Technology, her name on her work badge was brand new, and she thought she had finally become a real engineer.
But the reality soon told her that the workplace is not an exam, there is no standard answer, and no one will wait for her to prepare slowly.
She started as a newcomer who couldn't understand documents, couldn't navigate the environment, and couldn't ask questions. Along the way, she encountered ancestral code, temporary blame, ex-colleagues running away, invisible bias, invalid overtime, and an online accident.
On the night we broke up, my boyfriend said, "Let's separate."
The next second, the work group was buzzing with news. Someone in the whole group meeting asked by name: "Who made the last change to this?"
Zhao Yiran held the phone, his eyes were red, but he still spoke:
"It's me."
She is not a genius, nor is she cheating.
It was only from that night that she finally understood that real growth is not to prove that she never makes mistakes, but to still be able to handle problems one by one after falling, being afraid, and crying.
This is a story about an ordinary girl who is tempered by reality in the workplace, love, friendship and life, and gradually becomes her own reliance.
