Thanks to the harm done by a fellow townsman, she went to Shenzhen for three or four years, rising from an ordinary staff member in a media group to middle management. At the age of 26, she earned a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and recently, she was sent to Hong Kong for a six-month training program. Her friends all admired her for her vision and courage, as when her classmates were still enjoying the comfortable jobs in mainland China, she chose to go south alone.
By chance, she mentioned it, who would have thought that her departure back then was out of "necessity." Her parents were ordinary people from a small town in northern Jiangxi. After graduating from university, she struggled to find a job and finally managed to secure a position with a mediocre but stable company. When her work started to show promise, she was attacked by some shallow envious people, who spread all sorts of rumors about her. Unfamiliar with the world, she didn’t know how people could be so cruel and had no desire to defend herself. She only felt that her trust in others had been rewarded with such a result. Out of anger and grievances, she chose to leave. And then came the person she is today.
She said, "If that hurt hadn’t happened, she might not have left. Perhaps she would have settled down there." But it turned out that those negative forces had brought about this outcome.
Wisdom Story:
All jealousy is motivation, all injustice is an opportunity, all slander is a push, and all rumors are a blessing—regardless of the force, as long as it helps you rise, you must be grateful from the bottom of your heart. P5
