"Sigh! Han Ming, you and Xiao Lu know my bad character. I was spoiled rotten at home since I was a child. Plus, my dad can earn some money, so I became arrogant and caused trouble everywhere. But even though I, Du Yan, am not a good person, I'm not a bad person at heart. In your words, I'm not inherently bad." Du Yan sat on the sofa, head drooping, looking full of regret.
Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu sat quietly to the side, listening to Du Yan's story. Han Ming frowned slightly and said, "Du Yan, it's good that you recognize your problems, but just talking about it isn't enough; you have to actually make changes."
Dong Xiaolu chimed in, "Yes, Du Yan, we all hope you get better."
Du Yan raised his head, looked at them, and a resolute glint in his eyes: "I know that this time I'm really determined to change. I used to think that with my family backing me up, I didn't care about anything. Now I understand that this can't go on."
Han Ming nodded: "So what are your plans next?"
Du Yan took a deep breath: "I want to find a job first, work steadily, and stop being idle like before."
Han Ming pondered for a moment: "That's fine, but finding a job isn't easy, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Du Yan gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid. I can endure any hardship or fatigue."
In the days that followed, Du Yan began sending out resumes everywhere. However, due to his past bad record and lack of work experience, most companies turned him down. The repeated rejections left Du Yan incredibly frustrated, but he didn't give up.
Finally, a small company was willing to give him a chance, allowing him to start as a junior salesperson. Du Yan cherished this hard-won job, arriving at the company early every day, diligently learning business knowledge, and actively expanding his client base.
Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu also frequently inquired about Du Yan's situation, offering him encouragement and advice.
"Han Ming, this job is really not easy, but I will definitely persevere," Du Yan said to Han Ming on the phone.
Han Ming encouraged him: "Keep going, Du Yan, I believe you can do it."
Although Du Yan was diligent and hardworking at the company, he still made many mistakes due to his lack of experience. His colleagues had many complaints about him, and his superiors also gave him severe criticism.
"Du Yan, if you continue like this, you're fired!" Du Yan felt incredibly ashamed at his boss's roar.
Back home, Du Yan locked himself in his room, feeling depressed. He began to doubt whether he could really change, and whether he was truly capable of doing this job.
Just when he was in despair, Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu arrived at his home.
"Du Yan, don't be discouraged. Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them and get back on your feet," Han Ming said.
Dong Xiaolu also comforted him, "Yes, Du Yan, we all believe you can do it."
Encouraged by them, Du Yan rallied. He worked even harder, humbly sought advice from his colleagues, and continuously improved his methods. Gradually, his professional skills improved significantly, and his performance became increasingly better.
His boss's attitude towards him also changed, and he began to praise and give him important responsibilities.
After a period of hard work, Du Yan established himself in the company and was promoted to department manager.
At the celebration banquet, Du Yan, holding a wine glass, walked up to Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu, his eyes filled with tears: "Han Ming, Xiaolu, without your support and encouragement, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Han Ming smiled and said, "This is all the result of your own hard work. We are proud of you."
Dong Xiaolu happily added, "Du Yan, you must keep it up!"
Du Yan nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I won't let you down again."
With the success of his career, Du Yan's personality has also changed significantly. He is no longer as willful and impulsive as before, but has become mature, steady, and caring towards others.
One day, Du Yan encountered an elderly man who had fallen on the street. Without hesitation, he ran over, helped the man up, and took him to the hospital. The man's family was extremely grateful to him, but Du Yan felt that it was simply what he should do.
“I understand now that helping others is the only way to make yourself truly happy,” Du Yan said to Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu.
Han Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Du Yan, you've really changed, you're getting better and better."
Du Yan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you guys. You've helped me find the right direction in life."
From then on, Du Yan continued to strive forward on his life path, proving his change and growth through his actions.
