Features: In life, there are some girls who are loud, articulate, and have sharp personalities. Regardless of their cultural qualifications, at least they can protect themselves well and are not easily hurt by others. They are like hedgehogs—they don’t actively harm people, but if they encounter danger, they will unfold their sharp spines and encircle their vulnerable bodies. Let me tell you a story. There was an organization where the salary was high, and the workload was very light. A position was often sought after by many people. As a result, it was not uncommon for employees without connections to be fired to make room for those with influence. For a while, rumors spread that another round of layoffs was about to begin, and the office was filled with fear. One day, clerk Ke Xin went to the computer room to browse the internet and found that someone had accidentally opened a pornographic webpage and forgotten to close it. Ke Xin didn’t mind and casually closed it. But to her surprise, the next day, the entire company was rumored to have seen the pornographic webpage. Under the rumors, the weak Ke Xin had no choice but to resign voluntarily. Even as she left, she still carried the humiliation of misunderstanding. In contrast, Wu Wei, who worked in the same office as Ke Xin, was much braver. One morning, the supervisor called Wu Wei to the office and said sternly that she had lost an important document. Later, half of the document was found in the trash can and the other half in Wu Wei’s drawer. Wu Wei, who was usually gentle, stood up and said, “First, I had neither the time nor the motivation to commit the crime—it’s clearly a setup. Second, what right do you have to search my drawer?” The supervisor immediately turned red. Later, not only was Wu Wei not fired, but no one dared to set her up again. Yes, in women’s work and life, they may often encounter petty people who give them a hard time. They may want to climb the ladder by stepping on your shoulders, or achieve their goals by deceiving you, or simply exclude you out of jealousy. When facing them, the more like a marshmallow you are, the more ruthless they will be in playing with you. Only by being like a hedgehog, fearlessly piercing that “black hand” reaching out to you, can they taste the pain themselves. This way, before they strike again, they will definitely remember the pain and dare not hurt you lightly again! Roses are more charming because of their thorns, and the spines of a hedgehog are its strongest protection. At work, if you know that the pressure is coming from others’ deliberate torment, you should stand tall and fight back for your rights and dignity—even becoming a hedgehog is acceptable. P13-14
