On My First Day at Work, the Boss Mistook Me for Someone Else

On Shen Zhixing's first day at the company, before he could even find his desk, the receptionist was already preparing to contact the general office.

A mix-up during a reception turned the newly arrived administrative assistant into a newcomer everyone thought had powerful connections.

He explained that he had been hired through open recruitment, and the other person nodded as if they understood. But the odd jobs originally assigned to him were taken away, and even ordinary work instructions came with extra courtesy.

Shen Zhixing wanted to make his way through his own abilities, but everyone else was busy guessing who he knew.

Only after the misunderstanding was cleared up did he get a taste of what it was like when that courtesy disappeared.

At his lowest point, he became a live-in son-in-law.

Later, his colleagues started speculating about his background again.

This time, they really weren't imagining things.
