I secretly hid my phone in the corner of my desk, recording the moments when Li Na and Zhang Cheng exchanged inferior materials. They thought I was oblivious, choosing the small storage room next to my office for their shady dealings. Did they really think I was blind? I also took advantage of my work to capture their private conversations and the unreasonable demands from my boss. I wanted them to understand that the law of karma is inescapable; every wrongdoing leaves a trace. I began to collect evidence against them like a meticulous instrument.
To avoid raising suspicion, I discreetly saved all the substandard material samples. These would serve as evidence for my counterattack. I started plotting how to make them pay for their misdeeds.
Of course, I couldn't do this alone. I consulted my best friend, Zhou Yue, about our strategy. Zhou Yue was not only my closest friend but also my most trusted ally. She worked in the finance department at Shengmei, known for her keen insights and loyalty. I had introduced her to the company, and she had long been wary of Zhang Cheng and Li Na; she wanted out of this dreadful place too. We often met after work at a café to analyze the situation and devise plans together.
When I shared my plan with Zhou Yue, she immediately supported me without hesitation. "Wei Wei, I've had enough of that old pervert and that green tea bitch! I'm here to help you!" she declared, slamming her hand on the table. With her assistance, I felt empowered, bringing me one step closer to revenge.
Zhou Yue used her connections to help me gather information on Shengmei's financial discrepancies, including tax evasion—something she excelled at. In no time, she uncovered their hidden accounts. "Wei Wei, look at how much tax they've evaded over the years! It's outrageous!" Zhou Yue placed a stack of ledgers in front of me, and I was genuinely shocked. I thought to myself, Zhang Cheng, you heartless bastard! She even discovered Zhang Cheng's "slush fund," filled with embezzled money—enough for him to drown in it.
At the same time, Zhou Yue began discreetly transferring important client information from Shengmei. She backed up details of my loyal clients so that when I switched jobs, I wouldn't lose everything I'd worked hard for. These clients were my lifeline and would be crucial for my resurgence.
I started pretending to accept my fate, showing up on time for work without arguing about anything job-related. I even volunteered to help Li Na organize client files, backing everything up onto my cloud drive. I took on trivial tasks for her to lower her guard, making her think I was no longer a threat. Each day became a performance where I played my role perfectly.
I began reaching out to dissatisfied former clients of Shengmei, informing them about the company's shady practices and how Zhang Cheng and Li Na deceived people. I hinted that I would soon be moving on and encouraged them to follow me if they wanted to continue supporting me. Sometimes, I'd even send small gifts to these loyal clients as a token of appreciation.
Watching Li Na and Zhang Cheng flaunt their power over me daily made me want to laugh. They believed they had me cornered; they had no idea that I was setting a trap for them.
Every day at work felt like they were on a high from some stimulant as they barked orders at me. I played the part of a compliant worker while internally mocking them.
Li Na became increasingly arrogant, flaunting her new designer bags and manicures while condescendingly telling me that I was "done" and "out of favor." She spouted phrases like "That's just how the workplace is" and "Those who know how to adapt are the real winners," as if lecturing me. It took all my restraint not to explode in response. Just wait until it's time for my counterattack; we'll see if they can still laugh then.
My boss also thought he had crushed my spirit and became more brazen with his demands. He assigned me menial tasks as if he could use me as his errand runner. During meetings, he would ridicule my proposals, claiming I lacked innovation and only knew how to talk big while praising Li Na instead. Each humiliation was noted in my mind; one day, I'd make him swallow those words back.
I kept my head down during these moments, silently enduring their mockery while plotting how to bring them down completely.
I wanted them to know that Lin Wei is not someone easy to bully! The grievances I've endured will be repaid tenfold! Not only would they lose everything, but they'd also face public disgrace with no chance of recovery!
Time flew by quickly; before long, I'd spent several more months at this dreadful company. Watching Li Na prance around in front of me with fake camaraderie felt like watching a bad performance unfold before my eyes. I suppressed my disgust while continuing to play along for the sake of executing a flawless counterattack.
I despise it when people exploit emotions or use underhanded tactics for personal gain—Li Na embodied both traits perfectly; she was everything I loathed rolled into one.
One day while organizing files in the office, I overheard Li Na sweetly calling out in the hallway: "Zhang Cheng! Look at me! That recent event has been a total flop; I'm swamped every day! But Lin Wei? She's done nothing but create problems for me! What should I do?" Her voice was so grating it sent shivers down my spine as she deliberately whined about me to make Zhang Cheng dislike me even more.
I suspected she had run off to charm our boss again. Pulling out my phone, I recorded her words; this would serve as evidence later.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Zhang Cheng stormed into my office looking annoyed and shouted at me: "Lin Wei! You don't need to come in today! We don't need employees who lack ambition here at Shengmei!" His face twisted with disdain as if I were filth beneath him. He raised his voice intentionally in front of other colleagues as if trying to assert his authority over me.
He threw a termination letter onto my desk without looking back as he left. Picking it up with a cold smile, I signed it without hesitation. "Don't worry, Zhang Cheng; you'll pay for today's decision!" I thought triumphantly. Finally free from this place, it was time for them to face consequences for their arrogance.
After signing the letter without saying a word, I packed up my things and left Shengmei behind. It felt like shedding an enormous burden; suddenly everything seemed lighter. Like a bird finally escaping its cage after being imprisoned for so long—I could soar freely once again.
I didn't rush into finding another job or wallow in despair; instead, I posted on social media: "Thank you Shengmei Beauty Salon for your nurturing; today marks my official departure. Next up: I'll be continuing service at Lizi Beauty Salon and look forward to seeing everyone again." Along with this message was a carefully crafted poster displaying my new job address and contact information.
Yes! Lizi Beauty Salon offered me three times the salary as their Chief Operating Officer. Throughout this time, I'd never severed ties with Lizi.
As soon as the message was sent out, my social media exploded. Those long-time clients who had been dissatisfied with Shengmei flooded the comments with support for me. Old friends messaged me, asking where I had been and expressing their desire to continue supporting my work. "Wei Wei, you must keep working hard; we support you!" one old client texted me. This made me realize that I wasn't left with nothing; I still had my clients and my friends.
Seeing everyone's support warmed my heart and made me feel that the past three years of effort weren't in vain. Of course, what excited me even more was thinking about what Zhang Cheng would face next.
I am not someone who likes to be pushed around. Zhang Cheng, if you choose to be unkind, don't blame me for being ruthless!
I didn't rush to Lizi's place for work; instead, I returned home first and pulled out the lease contract for Shengmei Beauty Salon. Looking at the name on the contract, a slight smile crept onto my lips. "Heh, the show is about to begin," I thought. Finally, I could start reeling in the net; all my patience had been for this moment.
Did you think I was just an employee, merely a tool for your profit?
Heh, you are truly naive!
In fact, I am still the landlord of this beauty salon! This shop was left to me by my parents, and my home is right next door. The reason I initially worked at Shengmei was its proximity to home, and I had tried to keep the rent affordable. I never expected Zhang Cheng to bully me like this.
Since you enjoy cutting employees' wages, I'll take that money back myself! Let you know that whatever you take from me, I will reclaim it all.
I quickly drafted a notice to raise the rent and had the agency send it to Zhang Cheng. I set the rent at the same level as my previous salary while working at Shengmei. I also highlighted all the clauses in the contract that were beneficial to me.
Upon receiving the notice, Zhang Cheng was indeed taken aback. He called me in a panic, questioning how I could be the landlord and why I wanted to raise the rent. Was I crazy? I could even hear him roaring on the other end of the line. "Lin Wei! Are you insane? How can you be the landlord?!" he shouted.
I replied calmly over the phone, "Zhang Cheng, since you look down on me so much, then from now on, use the money I've earned for you to pay my rent! Happy now?"
Zhang Cheng was furious on the phone, cursing and threatening me with all sorts of insults. I had already blocked his messages long ago. What else could he do besides rage? He sounded like a beast trapped in a cage, helplessly roaring.
After hanging up, my mood lifted significantly. It felt as if all my grievances and frustrations had been released.
Raising the rent wasn't enough for me; I wanted to send Zhang Cheng and Li Na—those two scoundrels—straight to hell! It was time to initiate my next plan.
I contacted Zhou Yue again and told her about my decision to switch jobs. Zhou Yue supported me wholeheartedly; she had long been fed up with that disgusting boss and his green tea bimbo.
That same day, Zhou Yue also submitted her resignation. In her resignation letter, she listed all of Zhang Cheng's and Li Na's misdeeds just to let Zhang Cheng know how much he was losing.
Before leaving, she did something monumental: she compiled a list of financial loopholes at Shengmei and reported them for tax evasion, providing detailed evidence.
The tax department immediately launched an investigation into Shengmei, ultimately demanding three million in back taxes! When I heard this news, I couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably; it was so satisfying! I even posted on social media to celebrate Shengmei's "achievement," mocking them with a post that read: "Congratulations Shengmei on receiving a three million fine!" accompanied by a sarcastic emoji.
Zhang Cheng called me again, his tone softened. He claimed there had been misunderstandings and begged me to return and help him out—saying he would agree to any conditions. Heh, now you realize your mistake? It's too late! On the call, I could hear his desperate pleas. "Lin Wei, please come back and help me; I know I've made mistakes—I promise I'll do anything!" he cried.
I flatly rejected him and told him it was too late; he would have to pay for his foolishness! With a cold laugh, I hung up.
Watching Zhang Cheng flounder in despair made me decide to add more fuel to the fire!
