While browsing her phone, Song Xia arrived at the company at the last minute before work. From the moment she entered the company, everyone looked at her strangely.
She walked to her workstation expressionlessly, and before she could even pour herself a glass of water, someone slammed a huge pile of documents onto her desk.
"Sister Song, you didn't come yesterday. This is the data that needs to be entered into the system in the next two days."
"And these survey forms, could you please find someone to fill them out when you have some free time around noon?"
Song Xia leaned back in her chair and looked at the two of them. They were actually younger than her and had been with the company for a shorter time. These jobs were not her job duties at all, so why were they the ones being bullied by everyone?
Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of confidence. Everyone knows she needs this job and is certain she won't quit, so they gradually push unimportant tasks onto her, and then more and more of them. After all, her superiors won't say anything, and she's afraid of losing this job, so she can only silently endure it.
That's how society is. The more honest and timid a person is, the easier it is for them to be bullied. Take the new receptionist at their company, for example. She wears a different outfit and bag every day, and occasionally gets picked up by a luxury car. So no one dares to order the receptionist around because she has the confidence to stand up for herself and the courage to leave at any time.
As usual, the two left without waiting for Song Xia to refuse, talking about the trouble Sun Xiurong and Qin Yuping caused at the company yesterday.
"It's pitiful that a woman has lived like this."
"What shady thing did she do to be so manipulated by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law?"
"Of course I feel bad for my family, otherwise why would they make a scene at the company?"
"I heard she's a stepmother, and I guess she abuses her stepson. I really can't believe it!"
Song Xia vaguely listened to the conversation between the two, without even glancing at the documents and forms, and just leisurely did her job.
Before long, her work was interrupted again. The person who came in was her boss, a greasy middle-aged man. Because he had previously coveted her beauty but had been rejected, he had been making trouble for her at work.
"Song Xia, why didn't you answer my calls yesterday?"
Song Xia didn't even look up: "I took the day off yesterday."
"Does taking leave mean you can ignore the company's calls? Do you know how much damage your family caused to the company's image and profits yesterday by coming to the company and making a scene?"
“I have two mentally ill people in my family, and I’m very distressed.”
"you!"
The person next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing, but she was also surprised to find that Song Xia seemed a little different today.
The supervisor was furious at her response: "Anyway, because of the impact you've had on the company, you'll have 500 yuan deducted from your salary this month."
After saying that, he looked at Song Xia triumphantly, because he knew that five hundred was very important to Song Xia.
Then he added sarcastically, "A woman needs to have good taste. If she doesn't, she'll live a frugal life and be criticized by her in-laws. What good is being beautiful if she has bad luck?"
Song Xia scoffed coldly: "You talk as if your wife is lucky. Her husband isn't good-looking at all, yet she still messes around outside."
This caused someone to laugh out loud again, but they quickly stopped.
"Who? Who was laughing just now?" He was like a clown patrolling the office, but everyone was pretending to be working, so he could only vent his anger on Song Xia.
"You dare talk back to me? I think you don't want this job anymore! Redo all the forms for this month."
Song Xia stopped typing and looked at him: "Is there a problem with the data in one of the tables?"
"I told you to redo it, so do it. Why are you making so many excuses?"
"The data in the form has been checked and is correct, and you have signed it, so I can refuse."
"Then you can do Xiao Liu's and Xiao Qian's work, check their data, and also these things on your desk. I want to see you finished before you leave work. You're not allowed to leave until you've finished." He finished speaking and looked at Song Xia smugly, his ugly face was disgusting.
Song Xia coldly refused: "I'm sorry, I have the right to refuse matters that are outside my job scope."
"You have the right to refuse? What right do you have to refuse? I'm your supervisor. I tell you what to do, and you do it. If you don't want to, get out."
"Okay, give me the compensation, and I'll leave now."
"Compensation? Song Xia, you're dreaming. If you want to do it, then finish the task assigned to you. If you don't want to do this job, there are plenty of other people who will."
“I said I won’t do anything outside my job scope anymore, and I’m fine with working overtime, just give me all my previous overtime pay.”
"You still want overtime pay? The company is already being generous by giving you a job. I'll say it again: if you don't want to work, then get out."
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to do it; I just want my rightful rights back.”
"Legitimate rights? Song Xia, who do you think you are? You think you can sue me in court?"
Song Xia held up her phone: "Mei Wei, Supervisor Mei, I've recorded what you just said, as well as my previous get off work hours, which I've copied for nearly three months. According to labor law, I don't need to go to court yet, but I will go to the labor arbitration department first."
The boss's expression finally changed: "Song Xia, how dare you?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? You're just taking advantage of my reluctance to give up this job, right? Do you really think I'm spineless? You're a supervisor, so what? No matter how high up a leader is, no one can harass you personally. You should be glad I was firm enough when I rejected you, otherwise I would sue you too."
Mei Wei's face was both ugly and unwilling to lose face in the office, so she shouted loudly: "You think you can win by going to labor arbitration? Song Xia, you're a middle-aged woman. Do you think you can find a better job after leaving the company?"
"Then you don't need to worry about it."
Seeing that she remained unmoved, Mei Wei threatened her in a low voice: "Song Xia, don't be ungrateful."
"You two were too greedy before." Song Xia said, picking up the documents she had thrown on her desk and tossing them back in front of the two men with a thud. She grinned and said, "From now on, do your own work. Once I'm gone, no one will be so stupid as to let you bully them. Also, stop gossiping. You two are really ugly, spreading rumors about everyone in the office, talking about this person behind their back, and talking about this person behind their back. Do you really think you're so clever? Let's see how long you can be so smug."
The two looked at each other, their faces filled with shame and indignation. Especially when other people in the office looked over, they didn't know how to explain, so they could only glare at Song Xia resentfully.
Has Song Xia eaten gunpowder today? What's gotten into him? Has his family really suffered a major misfortune? How pitiful, they don't bother with people in dire straits.
只是这些工作，难道以后真要自己做了？
