Episode 1

The leader and chairman of Zhonghe Group accidentally fell and fractured two ribs and the ulna of his right arm.During his hospitalization, the group's performance declined like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.The chairman was furious and harshly reprimanded the executives in the ward for more than two hours.This reprimand was like a shot in the arm, and the entire group took quick action from top to bottom, vowing to turn around the declining performance within one quarter.Coinciding with the annual employee rating assessment, employees are all gearing up and the competition is extremely fierce.The manager of the internal publicity department announced to the team members that the internal publicity department, together with the planning department and advertising department, would participate in an internal mock bidding to plan promotion activities for the company's upcoming new tea beverages.Wu Xiuya, an ordinary specialist in the internal publicity department of a large comprehensive group, was entrusted with the important task of taking charge of this promotion.

Wu Xiuya has an intelligent and agile face, which often makes people wary.However, to everyone's surprise, deep down she is a typical pleaser.In order to gain recognition, she always spared no effort to please others, but as a result, the more she tried to please, the more she lost herself, forming a vicious cycle that was difficult to escape.Many tasks that did not belong to her inexplicably fell on her shoulders.Once, while she was busy interviewing Mr. Qin for inspecting the logistics branch, her colleague Ma Chao called and asked her to help order food for Manager Hu and the editor-in-chief of the Evening News.Although Wu Xiuya was reluctant, she finally reluctantly agreed.As a result, because she did not receive a call from the delivery man during the interview, the editor-in-chief of the Evening News and Manager Hu were hungry for several hours, and she was severely reprimanded by Manager Hu for this.

Wu Xiuya's boyfriend Zheng Hao is a leader in the marketing department and has won the company's sales championship for three consecutive years.With his outstanding performance, he left a deep impression on the chairman and became the youngest deputy director of the marketing department.It is generally believed within the group that his future career is bright and he is expected to become the youngest vice president.However, Wu Xiuya often encounters difficulties in the workplace.On this day, her colleague Xiaoli asked her to help complete a complicated form again, and suggested that they go to a new hot pot restaurant for dinner together.Although Wu Xiuya reluctantly agreed, when she completed the form and rushed to the hot pot restaurant, she found that Xiaoli and the others had already eaten and drank enough and were not waiting for her at all.What makes her even more chilling is that Xiaoli and the others are still discussing her relationship with Zheng Hao behind her back, implying that her success is due to nepotism.

Recalling the past, Wu Xiuya also had a time when she was brave enough to be herself.It was 2005, when she moved with her mother from Shenzhen to Ningxi City.My mother sacrificed her career for the sake of the family and moved with her father.After Wu Xiuya transferred to No. 7 Middle School, she wore a red skirt to school because she couldn't find the pants to wear on the first day.However, this was misunderstood and ridiculed by classmates.Faced with bullying and provocation from her classmates, Wu Xiuya bravely stood up to resist.But over time, she gradually learned to hide her true self to avoid hurting others and herself.Nowadays, she has gone further and further on this road of endurance, and gradually lost herself.
