The night Xu Zhi fell from the company building, everyone said she couldn't hold on anymore.
She has outstanding abilities and is neat in her work. She is the most stable person in the project team. But after the accident, the company quickly unified its message. The management was vague and colleagues were tight-lipped. Even the last traces of her life seemed to have been deliberately sorted out.
Colleague Shen Wen, who had just joined the company, temporarily took over Xu Zhi's job. She originally just wanted to hand over the project smoothly, but among the version records, unsent emails, modified performance reviews and a missing recording, she slowly spelled out another Xu Zhi. That was not an "emotionally out-of-control" deceased person, but a person who was still trying to leave evidence before falling.
As the investigation deepened, Shen Wen discovered that what was truly terrifying was not necessarily a single evildoer, but a whole set of mechanisms of silence, cover-up, persuasion, and self-protection. Some people use their power to rewrite the narrative, and some people deliver the most fatal blow in the name of concern. When she finally got closer to the truth, she discovered that what Xu Zhi left behind was never a request for help, but a testimony.
This is a story about the workplace, power, betrayal and silence.
It is also a story about "It's not that she can't hold it on her own".
Concept: When harm is packaged as misunderstanding, when silence is disguised as decency, what really needs to be seen is not just a person's death, but the structural malice that forced her to a desperate situation. The work hopes to discuss the imbalance of power in the workplace, the betrayal of acquaintances, and the devouring of individuals by collective silence. It also wants to illustrate one thing: some truths should not be erased even if they cannot be immediately judged.
