Chapter 26: Workplace Bullying

In the end, Yang Huaqiong was taken away by the police.

Chen Xiufen’s family held the little girl’s body and cried as if their lives depended on it.

【Sigh, how innocent the little girl was…】

【The old saying is true — misfortune really does come from what you say. I promise I’ll never poke at other people’s wounds again!】

【Although I feel sorry for the little girl, I have to say… Miss was right again!】

【Doesn’t anyone find it strange? At first, that person didn’t want to admit it was them, so why did they suddenly change their statement?】

Many people had this doubt.

Some secretly guessed that Shen Chujin had tampered behind the scenes.

But since Shen Chujin didn’t say anything, no one knew the real answer.

Actually, she used a true-word talisman remotely.

However, since the effect of this talisman sounded unbelievable to people in this world, she didn’t mention it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After ending the connection, Shen Chujin went to eat something nearby to replenish her energy.

Using the true-word talisman remotely still consumed a lot of spiritual and physical strength.

Although she was tired, feeling the faint aura of merit flow into her body made her feel it was all worth it.

After resting for a short while, she sat back down.

“Alright, now let’s start the second reading for today.”

The lucky winner of the lucky bag was an online user whose name was just three dots.

As soon as the video connected, a young man wearing a delivery uniform with a bruised face appeared on camera.

His short hair was messy from the wind, and his whole expression was desolate.

From the camera view, it looked like he was on a large bridge.

He seemed to be sitting at the edge of the bridge!

“Host, do people really become ghosts after they die?” His eyes were dim and lifeless.

【That question… somehow gives the feeling he’s about to jump!】

【Whoa, bro, don’t do anything stupid!】

Shen Chujin glanced at him and nodded slightly.

The man asked again, “Do people really enter the cycle of reincarnation and get reborn?”

Shen Chujin: “If you commit suicide, in the next life you can only be reborn as an animal.”

Those who do not cherish life naturally cannot be reborn as humans.

Hearing this, the man immediately covered his face and cried bitterly.

“Why is even death so difficult?”

He cried deeply and sorrowfully.

But no one mocked him.

For a grown man to break down and cry like that, he must be going through something serious.

【Brother, although we don’t know what happened, you can talk about it. If we can help, we definitely will. Please don’t think about ending your life. Once you die, everything is gone.】

【Sigh, adults’ breakdowns usually only last a moment. I often find myself wanting to cry late at night for no reason.】

【Life nowadays is really tough. Not long ago, someone in our neighborhood jumped off a building. He had worked hard, spending his and his parents’ savings on a down payment for a house, but after only a few years, he was suddenly fired and couldn’t find a suitable job. His mortgage was months overdue. Seeing the house about to be auctioned by the court, he couldn’t bear the blow and gave up. When he jumped, his brain spilled out—it was really tragic…】

The man saw everyone’s comments and steadied his emotions before speaking.

“My family is from a rural area, and there’s a saying I’ve remembered since I was young: ‘Knowledge changes destiny.’

So, I studied very hard.

Later, I got admitted to a prestigious university.

In order to afford tuition, I worked summer jobs during breaks, and my parents worked tirelessly to earn money.

During university, I balanced part-time jobs with studying, and I always ranked first in my year’s exams.

Just when I thought I could finally work at a big company, earn enough money, and support my parents, despite having the best test and interview results, I was told I didn’t get the job.

Later, I found out the position was taken by a relative of a shareholder at that company.

There was nothing I could do, so I had to interview at another company.

This time, I finally got hired.

But… my boss made things difficult for me in every way, constantly suppressing me.

No matter how well I completed tasks, I never received rewards.

I worked diligently for three years, yet I was still just a low-level employee with no promotion.

I had to quit.

But that boss spread lies about me, making it impossible for me to get hired anywhere else.

Then my dad got sick, and my family urgently needed money, so I had no choice but to work day and night delivering food.

But just now, when I was delivering food, I ran into my boss and former colleagues—they were holding an event at a KTV.

As soon as I walked in, when they saw it was me, they mocked me in every way, saying how I had fallen to delivering food, weren’t I supposed to be a top student from a prestigious university?

I didn’t want to pay attention and just wanted to leave quickly.

But they took advantage of their numbers, forcibly held me back, pressured me to drink, and insulted me with all kinds of words.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I resisted a little and accidentally knocked off one person’s glasses.

They then pinned me down and beat me badly.

Not only that, they even directly called to complain about me.

I lost my job again.

I’m a university graduate from a key university, and now I don’t even have the chance to deliver food.”

The man’s eyes looked hollow and lifeless, his voice full of despair.

“That’s not all. Just now, I got a call from my mom—she was crying and said my dad suddenly got sick, and they couldn’t save him. He’s gone…”

As he spoke, the man broke down and cried again.

He grabbed his hair and pulled hard.

It was as if this could ease the bitterness and pain in his heart.

【Sigh, just listening to this feels suffocating. If it were me, I’d probably break down too—my pride trampled underfoot, and my father gone, sigh…】

【They say knowledge changes destiny, but nowadays, college graduates are everywhere. I have a bachelor’s degree, but the jobs I find are tiring, hopeless, and poorly paid—just over two thousand a month, working six days on, one day off—like they’re just getting rid of beggars.】

【Really feel for you! Because I went to university, there are many jobs I want but don’t dare to do, afraid people will say, “You went to university just to do this?” It’s so frustrating.】

【Let me tell you something funny: before, my resume said I was a university graduate, but I couldn’t find a job. When I changed it to high school diploma, I suddenly got several interview invitations. Isn’t that ridiculous?】

【The reality isn’t as bad as you think. Education is still necessary—it’s a stepping stone. It doesn’t decide your ceiling but does set your floor. Of course, having education isn’t enough—you should also have a skill.】

【Listening to this makes me so angry—I strongly demand that the former boss and those despicable ex-colleagues be exposed! How could people do such things?!】

【Brother, people can’t come back from death, but jobs can be found again. Keep living well.】
