Chapter 15: Young people shouldn't always think about making money; you need to learn to be grateful!

It was another day nearing the end of work, and Zhou Yi was still busy with his tasks.

Of course, given his efficiency, he should have finished two hours ago, but there was no helping it; recently, Director Wang had been making him work a lot of overtime.

It was likely because of that incident last time, but they were all in the same Company, so there was no need to hold such a grudge.

He had originally intended to apologize properly and talk it out with Director Wang to let it go, but he hadn't expected this to happen again and again, never-ending.

Of course, if one had to be precise, it wasn't specifically targeting him; the entire team, and even the entire Company's Employees, were basically like this.

Overtime, working overtime to death; as long as you don't die from the work, you work until you're dead.

As for things like overtime pay, everyone was an adult, so let's not talk about such useless things; does overtime even have overtime pay? Aren't you all working overtime voluntarily!

So Zhou Yi had also learned to slack off, finishing his work exactly ten minutes after the end of the workday, and then taking the chance to leave while no one was paying attention.

There was no helping it; the situation at the Company was the same as before—everyone didn't leave after work.

He was truly sick to death of this so-called "wolf culture" now; it was annoying as hell!

Those big firms, they provide sufficient overtime pay and sufficient money.

But as for their Company, they learn some bullshit "wolf culture," not giving an extra cent, painting pictures of cakes every day—oh no, for a company like his, the leader doesn't even paint pictures of cakes at all!

Wanting the horse to run while also wanting the horse not to eat grass—from ancient times until now, hearing this saying, many people would find it ridiculous; what kind of horse could accept such conditions?

Not only that, in the eyes of many company bosses, you working here means I provided you with this position and paid you this salary.

And the boss feels that since you took his salary, you must work desperately for him to be worthy of that salary!

Yet even in such a company, these Employees still didn't dare to resign easily.

Of course, the big firms' backsides aren't clean either; why is there so much overtime now?

And then, one person naturally cannot finish two people's work during normal working hours.

However, Zhou Yi had no intention of indulging these people recently; he had already made plans to resign.

It must be said that Lawyer Fang was still very capable; after receiving the materials, he quickly and intensively filed the Lawsuit, and now the two cases involved were already being prepared for trial.

Lao Wang had been contacting him, wanting him to issue a Letter of Forgiveness, but it was directly rejected by Zhou Yi.

As for the other case, Lawyer Fang said the other party wanted Mediation, and the Court held the same attitude.

After all, the amount was small; there was really no need to hold a trial.

Regarding this, Lawyer Fang's intention was for him to go over for a turn, and then tell them to their faces that he would not accept Mediation.

Zhou Yi expressed his agreement with this; it just so happened that his second video still needed material.

His dull life finally had a bit of embellishment; he was very happy.

The work was finished, the timing was just right, and Zhou Yi stood up to tidy his things, then intended to leave immediately.

However, it was at this moment that Director Wang appeared.

It was still that same look of a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "How about that, Little Zhou, leaving again? Is the work all done?"

Zhou Yi looked at this Director Wang; he no longer intended to hear any good words from the other party's mouth, so he just nodded, too lazy to even speak.

"Little Zhou, don't leave yet; here, there is a task, the client is rushing it very urgently, and you see everyone has things to do now, so I'll leave it to you. Right, hand it to me when you come to work tomorrow morning," Director Wang said with a chuckle.

Such conversations had happened frequently over the past period, and it wasn't just to Zhou Yi; everyone else in this office was the same.

Overtime, endless overtime, endless work.

Director Wang was their direct superior, and also a shareholder of this Company, which was why he held this position; otherwise, Zhou Yi wouldn't have felt this guy's arrival at this position was so inexplicable.

So Director Wang only had one view of these Employees: he didn't want to see them idle...

Especially leaving work at six o'clock; it was only six, the sky outside was still bright, what were they going back for? They were being paid a salary.

After finishing, Director Wang turned to leave; he had arranged the work for the entire office.

Of course, he, Director Wang, certainly wouldn't leave.

However, Director Wang had just turned around when he was called to a stop.

"Sorry, Director Wang, I have already finished work now; there is no way for me to hand it to you tomorrow morning!"

Zhou Yi's voice was not loud, but the office was not large either, and at this moment everyone was busy working, with the sound of clattering keyboards everywhere, so as soon as his words came out, they directly attracted the attention of everyone in the office.

Director Wang turned his head to look at Zhou Yi, but his face still wore a smile: "Little Zhou, there's no way around it, time is tight, the client wants it urgently, you should understand."

In all fairness, Director Wang was indeed not deliberately making things difficult for the other party, because overtime was indeed needed now.

"And look, you left directly before, and I didn't say anything, right? Now the Company is in difficulty, you should understand a little too; let's just mutually understand each other."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but at these words, Zhou Yi directly blew up!

"That's not it, Director Wang, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I left directly before? I'll just ask you, was it after work when I left? It was after work, I left normally, is there a problem?"

"And you didn't say anything? It's not like you intended to say anything; is there a problem with me leaving normally after work?"

Zhou Yi's words were fast and urgent, directly causing Director Wang's expression to change.

The surrounding colleagues also raised their heads to look over; they hadn't expected that this Little Zhou, who had only been in the Company for less than a year, would actually dare to clash with the Director.

And he spoke without any politeness!

However, Director Wang still maintained his smile and said: "Little Zhou, look at you, I just said one thing to you, why are you getting so worked up? My meaning is, everyone should mutually understand; the Company needs it urgently now, there's really no other way, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi was so angry he laughed; opening and closing his mouth just to tell people to understand, I understand very well!

"Understand, I understand the Company's difficulties very well, and I didn't say I wasn't willing to do it, but if you want me to work overtime, that's fine—give me overtime pay. Tell me how late to work, and I'll have absolutely no problem!"

"Right? I do understand, but you all also need to understand me, understand my life. I need to earn money now, otherwise, I cannot live!"

And upon hearing the term "overtime pay," the other colleagues in the office had all pricked up their ears.

Especially those old Employees; they had been at this Company for so many years and had never even seen what overtime pay looked like.

Director Wang shook his head upon hearing this and said: "Little Zhou, your current thinking is very wrong, you know? Look, you've only been here a year, and it's only been a few months since your probation ended; you still need to keep learning and keep training."

"Young man, don't always keep your eyes fixed on money; learn your skills well, you know? Once you've learned the skills, there will be plenty of opportunities to earn money in the future. Our Company has provided you with a platform, allowing you to learn; you must learn to be grateful..."

Not only that, an old Employee nearby also stood up and said: "That's right, Little Zhou, don't clash with Director Wang; work hard, I'll teach you what you don't know, keep learning."

*Whoosh whoosh*, the update is here! Starting tomorrow I can do two updates; if I can't do it, Lao Jiu will live-stream eating ants!

Also, don't think this is an exaggeration; a college classmate of mine started a business and became a boss. Once, when he was eating with us, he said that paying his Employees made him feel very uncomfortable whenever he saw them sitting idle... Personal experience.

I can only say that wherever you sit, you truly become a person of that place. After all, it is a Fortune.

Thanks to brother Taohaoshuzhennan for the tip, thank you.
