Bully me. Now they all bow their heads. No one dared to look me straight in the eyes.

“I declare.”

“The first thing after the new company is established.”

“It's staff reduction.”

“Anyone.”

“Ever directly participated.”

“Or stand by and watch the bullying of colleagues.”

“They will all be fired.”

“Not holding anyone back.”

“No need for employees.”

“No common sense.”

“I also don't know how to sympathize.”

My voice. Decisive and powerful. My colleagues used to bully me. Immediately his face turned pale. They want to open their mouths and beg. But just met my cold eyes. Couldn't utter a word again. My eyes returned to Co Than. I stopped for a moment.

“Because of the love between husband and wife before.”

“I will save you the last bit of dignity.”

“Go to the human resources department to complete the resignation procedures yourself.”

“If not.”

“Wait until I reveal all the dirty things you've done.”

“Don't say city A.”

“For the next half of my life.”

“I can only live in regret.”

Co Than completely collapsed. Both knees are weak. Kneel down on the ground. He crawled towards me. Trying to hug the hem of my pants.

“Permeate.”

“I beg you.”

“I can't lose this job.”

“I have nothing left.”

I took a step back. Get out of his hands.

“You just learned to be afraid?”

"Before."

“What have you done?”

I looked at him from above. Exactly like that day. He stood in the banquet hall. Look at me with contemptuous eyes.

“The game is over.”

I don't pay attention to his crying anymore. But turning to all shareholders. Officially delivered the inauguration speech. My voice. Full of hope for the future. From today. My life. A new chapter will open. One chapter. No longer live for men. Just live for yourself. Finally, the security guard "invited" me out of the meeting room. His desperate eyes as he left. I only looked once. Then never look back again. There are people. Not worthy of pity. Lieu Y Y's ending was no better. Not just facing jail time. All her scandals. My brother also let someone expose it online. She was completely paralyzed. Become a mouse running across the street. Everyone I meet wants to fight. Good and evil are rewarded. Not without notice. It's just not time yet. New company merger. It went more smoothly than I thought. My father and brother stood behind me supporting me. Plus another month of risking my time studying business administration. I quickly adapted to the new position. I strongly reformed. Get rid of people who just sit and hold their seats but can't do any work. At the same time promote a group of young people. Capable. Have enthusiasm. Company atmosphere. Completely changed. Business achievements. Also continuously growing. The staff's eyes looked at me. From doubt at first. Gradually it turned into sincere admiration. They all called me.

“General Manager To.”

A way of addressing. But I used my own ability to win. I gradually like that name. Gradually getting used to life. But meaningful. Sometimes. In the middle of a quiet night. I also remember Co Than. But in my heart. No more ripples. That love was once humble to the point of dust. Just like a nightmare. Dream has awakened. It's also bright Already. I should thank him. Thank you for your kindness. Helped me see reality clearly. Thank you for all the times he insulted me. Taught me to be strong. Thank you for those ten slaps. Awakened me completely. Let me find myself again. Half a year later. At a charity party. I met Co Than again. He became a waiter. Carrying a tray of wine. Quietly walk among the luxuriously dressed guests. He got thinner. Also getting old. Cloudy eyes. There is no longer any of the sky-high spirit of the past. When you see me. His whole body immediately stiffened. Tray in hand. Almost fell to the ground. Instinctively. He intended to hide. But I proactively walked towards him. I held a glass of champagne on the tray. Gently raise the glass towards him.

"Long time no see."

Co Than's lips trembled. Still couldn't say a single word. I looked at him. Smiling softly. A smile comes from the bottom of the heart.

“Work well.”

"Human."

“In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves.”

I turned around and left. Step towards your future. I didn't turn back. Because I know. Belong to two different worlds. My world. Brilliant sunlight. Many flowers bloom. And his world. Only left. Endless regret. And the darkness has no way out. I won't because of him. But stop for just one more second. A truly strong woman. It's not about revenge. It's about knowing how to let go. Live ten thousand times better than your opponent. This is the cruelest punishment for him. The most beautiful gift. For myself.
