Su Yan, who was born in a prestigious school, is meek and self-possessed, has been quietly dormant in Dingsheng Group for nine years, and is recognized by the entire department as a core subordinate who is particularly favored by director Zhang Maolin. With his practical ability and gentle personality, he has resources and opportunities that are rare for others. He only needs to wait for one more year to adjust his position and be promoted. But no one knows that this enviable preference has never been appreciated by Bole, but a long and suffocating spiritual imprisonment.
His immediate boss, Zhang Maolin, is a typical person in power with a narcissistic personality. He is hypocritical on both sides, flattering and smooth to those above him, and controlling and cruel to those below him. He was extremely afraid of outstanding women who showed their talents, and publicly suppressed female employees such as Lin Wan, the backbone of the business, wantonly plundered results, demeaned their personalities, and vented their bigotry and prejudice. The docile and obedient Su Yan is his exclusive emotional comfort and control exhibit. While cultivating and granting privileges, he also suppresses and binds him mentally, locking his retreat with layers of kindness and salary.
After nine years of boiling frogs in lukewarm water, Su Yan was trapped in a self-inflicted struggle. While she was greedy for a stable future, she was unable to control her illness and became increasingly internalized in her tolerance and struggle. When workplace injustice completely breaks through the bottom line and bottomless blame-shifting comes, cowardice is completely shattered. He shed his shell, faced bullying by power and indifference in the workplace, collected evidence, and competed head-on.
This is a desperate self-rescue for an ordinary migrant worker. There is no revenge story, only real human struggle. In the abyss of the oppressive workplace, he breaks away from his spiritual shackles and finds his own salvation and return.
Purpose: to expose the real dilemma of power bullying in the workplace and hidden mental violence in marriage, and to write about the struggle and awakening of ordinary people amidst rule oppression and personality alienation. To truly break out of the cage is to break away from the domestication of the environment, keep one's heart, and achieve self-independence and salvation.
