A wave of resentment and anger, almost tangible, surged towards Ji Jue, making him break out in a cold sweat.
His expression twisted in discomfort.
Indeed, Brother Kunpeng's experiences could only be described as heartbreaking, as if he were the protagonist of a tragic story.
Imagine this: a dogged student, toiling day and night, grinding through school and witnessing one classmate after another get buried under the heavy pressure of exams.
Eventually, he finally graduates with a hot degree, aiming to succeed in the industry.
After signing a lucrative contract with a renowned company, he dreams of showcasing his talents.
But instead, he’s assigned to the mailroom, earning a meager salary, spending his days collecting packages and reading newspapers.
Day after day, the monotony drags on.
Watching his former classmates, who once struggled, rise to remarkable success while he remains stuck in the mailroom, sipping tea and smoking a cigarette, he feels his ambitions stifled.
After a year and a half of this, one day, the company’s boss rushes in, panicked, and says, "Dude, the company is going under; we need your help!"
When Ji Jue finally closes the newspaper, gives a mischievous smile, he knows his words will be more stinging than Brother Kunpeng's frustrations.
Realizing this, Ji Jue felt a sudden baldness creeping on him.
