"I would then argue with them like I've gone crazy."
Kingston wrapped an arm around Eevonne and asked while feeling incredibly sorry," Things have already developed to such a state, but your boss still did not fire you?"
Eevonne smiled miserably again. "I also find it strange for a very long time. Why is it that I was already in such a state, but my boss still did not fire me? I often heard my boss say that he is giving me a chance, he is giving a chance, and if I was in another company, I would have lost my chance a long time ago. Every time I heard him saying that, I truly felt so grateful that I almost wanted to kneel before him. I was also afraid that no other companies would hire me if I go somewhere else. Therefore, even though my interpersonal relationships in the company were a hot mess to the point of being beyond salvageable, it is also because I don't have anybody on my side in the company that I had to be extremely careful in my work. I worked at the company for three years. In the end, I truly hardly made mistakes anymore when it comes to my work.
However, even so, I was still wronged by others. In the past, every time I had an argument with others, I could never be certain if it was my fault or their fault. However, the time that led me to finally decide to resign was truly not my fault. Kingston, do you know how wronged I was at that time?"
"What kind of matter is that?" Kingston asked, feeling heartbroken.
Eevonne raised her head and tried her best to hold back her tears. "A company abroad had licensed out their design to my company to manufacture. I was the one who came up with the details and created the production process, which was then issued to the person in charge who was specifically responsible for dyeing. That person in charge had been working in the company for a very long time and was older than my boss. My boss respected that person very much. He was also one of the very few elders in the company who did not have any arguments with me. Almost nobody in the company dared to offend him. I, of course, was also very respectful toward him. When I handed the production process to him, all the details of the process were clearly written. However, he still made a mistake in the process of dyeing. When we got the finished product back, everything was spoiled. Everyone in the company, my boss included, thought that I didn't do my job right. That female colleague of mine from the last time, the one who passed the orders to me, and the one who directly dumped all of her orders to me, and made me take full responsibility for them, said that I have always been unqualified. She asked why didn't the company just fire me, and said that there's no way for her to explain to the client after such a huge mistake was made. She asked me to go and explain to the client myself, and she just wouldn't let me go."
Her voice trembled. "I was at my wit's end, so I had no choice but to take out a copy of the production process, which was signed by that elder, for her to see. She was instantly dumbfounded. After that, she smiled sadly and said, 'Mister Lourd is truly quite unlucky. He had been with the company for so long, had contributed so much to the company, and had never made a mistake his whole life. How come he would make a mistake when he is in charge of your case? This shows that it's still your problem.’ After saying that, she even said to the elder, 'Mister Lourd, it's fine. Don’t worry. It's fine. This has nothing to do with you. It's Eevonne's fault. She had always been making mistakes. The company had already shouldered the blame for her a few times...’ Kingston, do you know what was my reaction at that time after I heard what she said?"
Kingston was already gritting his teeth in anger. "You resigned immediately and you didn't argue with you. Is that it?"
Eevonne had a helpless and miserable expression on her face. "When she was halfway through her words, I shouted at her like crazy, 'Holly, apologize to me! If you don't apologize to me today, I'll never let this go!"
Kingston was pleased. "Good job, Eevonne."
"But do you know how that female colleague of mine reacted?" Eevonne looked at Kingston miserably.
