AmusantTranscription
00:00Pour 5 ans, j'ai obtenu des ordres 80 millions de dollars pour Azure Corp, mais mon salaire est juste
00:056,000 dollars.
00:07Durant le banquet, j'ai dit à Ray qu'il voulait payer, mais il m'a donné une nouvelle en
00:11fronte de tous les clients.
00:12Les clients gardent parce que Azure Corp.
00:14Tu es heureux que vous avez eu 6,000 dollars.
00:16Be grâle.
00:16Tout le monde était prêt à me marquer.
00:18Je n'ai dit rien et j'ai écouté.
00:20Le prochain jour, j'ai changé à notre compétitur avec tous mes clients.
00:243 jours après, Ray shouts dans le téléphone.
00:26Pourquoi avons tous nos clients pris ?
00:28La banquette est lively.
00:30Ray speaks en stage, avec excitement.
00:33Le 80 million dollar order n'aurait pas possible sans vous tous.
00:37C'est pourquoi tout le monde est obtenu un bonheur.
00:39Tout le monde est en train d'un bonheur.
00:41Lynn Zane est le premier à scream.
00:43Je n'ai juste le bonheur.
00:45Merci, Mr. Zane.
00:46Tout le monde a cheers.
00:48Tout les gens seuls et seuls et seuls le bonheur.
00:51C'est en train d'un bonheur.
00:54J'ai checké mon account, mais il n'y a rien.
00:57C'est le même chaque année.
00:59Il n'y a pas d'un record de transaction.
01:00Je suis upset.
01:02J'ai rejoint Azure Corp. après l'école.
01:05Pour 6,000 dollars.
01:078 ans après, ma paye n'a pas changé.
01:10J'ai obtenu 80 million dollars en ordres.
01:12In 5 years.
01:14Others get 50,000 dollar bonuses.
01:17While I only get base pay.
01:19Ray calls out to me.
01:21Julie, got any new year wishes?
01:23I must have looked upset.
01:24And look out of place in the crowd.
01:26I respond.
01:27I wanna pay Ray's.
01:28I'm not loud.
01:29But everyone heard me.
01:31The whole place go quiet at once.
01:33All of them slowly turn around and look at me.
01:35Ray's smile also vanishes.
01:37He tosses the microphone aside.
01:39Producing a piercing sound.
01:41He spits angrily.
01:42What'd you say?
01:43Say that again.
01:45I say.
01:46Mr. Zane.
01:46Raise my pay.
01:488 years.
01:48Same pay.
01:49Now, new hires make more.
01:51But I brought in 80 million dollars.
01:54I'm still talking when Ray suddenly slaps me.
01:56Before I can react, he slaps me 2 more times.
02:00Ray points at me and says.
02:0180 million dollar orders?
02:04The client stayed because of Azure Co-op.
02:07You're lucky you got 6,000 dollars.
02:09Be grateful.
02:10I look up and see the angry look in Ray's eyes.
02:13I look past him and see my colleagues.
02:15None of them does anything.
02:17In the end, the hotel manager walks over.
02:20Mister, that's inappropriate.
02:21She looks at me and says softly.
02:24Miss, do you need our help?
02:25I shake my head and let the waiter take me to the lounge.
02:28I can still hear Ray's voice after the door closed.
02:32Call the police.
02:33See if I care.
02:34At the next moment, every sound is shut out.
02:37Gazing down, I look at my reflection in the phone.
02:39I look terrible.
02:41My hair has come loose at some point.
02:42Like a mad woman.
02:44Then, someone enters the lounge.
02:46It's Mindy Lynch, a long time staff.
02:48Today, she's already the deputy CEO.
02:51She sits next to me and says patiently.
02:53Julie, don't take it to heart.
02:55You just caught Ray on a bad day.
02:57I didn't move or look at her.
03:00I just stare at my phone and pull up the headhunter's text.
03:03I was offered a new opportunity.
03:06But I replied, not at the moment, thank you.
03:09But now, I reply differently.
03:11Let's talk.
03:12Mindy is still going on.
03:14As for this year's order, I'm aware of your contribution
03:17and so is everyone else.
03:19But you have to see this.
03:20You couldn't have done it alone.
03:22Without Azure Corp's brand, the big clients would never have trusted a young woman like you.
03:28Your subordinates may not match your skills, but they contributed to Azure Corp in their own ways.
03:33You can't underplay their efforts.
03:35Mindy begins her manipulative talk again.
03:38You might not have the bonus, but it's a fair decision.
03:41You're still young.
03:43Look at the big picture.
03:44Next year, if you can keep up the good work, I'll personally fight for your bonus.
03:49Same old story for eight years.
03:52In Azure Corp's early days, I got no bonus.
03:55Mindy said, no orders, no bonus.
03:57Get results next year.
03:59I did what she wanted, but I still got nothing.
04:02Your qualifications are poor.
04:04Next year, I'll give you the bonus.
04:06I waited for years.
04:08My salary's the same, no bonuses, and I got slapped.
04:11Now, Mindy tells me to wait another year.
04:14I can't help but smile bitterly.
04:15I worked diligently for eight years, and I was taken for granted.
04:19Mindy sighs when she sees I don't react.
04:21Julie, be practical.
04:23Graduates from top colleges are everywhere.
04:25The job market is harsh.
04:28It's hard to get jobs.
04:29Your salary is quite decent.
04:31Just think it over.
04:32After Mindy leaves, my phone buzzes.
04:35It's the headhunter.
04:36Ms. Lane, you finally changed your mind.
04:39Can we talk on the phone?
04:40He's thrilled and passionate.
04:42I was never this respected in Azure Corp.
04:44The talk goes well, and his offer is very generous.
04:47If I join them, my salary is $60,000.
04:50With year-end bonuses and stock incentives,
04:52I can get what Azure Corp failed to give me in the past eight years.
04:56It's written in contract.
04:57I lower my phone and look at my cheek in the mirror.
05:00My time at Azure Corp has come to an end.
05:03The next day, I reach Azure Corp punctually to resign.
05:06My cheek is still slightly swollen, and there's red scab at my lips.
05:10When I walk in, the office immediately go quiet.
05:13My colleagues shoot me looks, openly mocking, curious, and gleeful.
05:19Lynn deliberately walks past me and speaks loud enough so everyone can hear her.
05:24Gee, you really showed up.
05:26I thought you'd need a break after yesterday.
05:28I ignore her and go to my workstation.
05:31A lot of unread mails pop up on my screen.
05:34The work group chat is flooding with last night's pictures.
05:37I ignore it and make a new file titled Resignation Letter.
05:41It's blunt and indifferent.
05:43No gratitude.
05:44No reflection.
05:45Just a simple, I resign immediately for personal reason.
05:48Then, I access an encrypted folder in my computer and open a document that has 80 pages.
05:55It's the core client handbook.
05:57It contains every information I learned in the past eight years at the cost of my health.
06:03It's not just contacts and contracts.
06:06It's also rivalries, family details, and what makes them give in in the end.
06:12These details are how I close deals and make the collabs last.
06:16It's not company data.
06:18It's my years of work.
06:19I calmly encrypt and upload it to a private cloud.
06:22The rest of my data isn't important.
06:24After that, I rise, print my resignation letter, and sign it.
06:28I walk to Mr. Zane's office, knock, and enter.
06:31Ray is on the phone.
06:33When he sees me, his eyes are full of disgust.
06:36He ends the call shortly, leans into his chair, and sizes me up.
06:39Here to apologize?
06:40Last night, you wanted to call the...
06:42I interrupt him and show him my resignation letter.
06:45Ray gazes at it, his smile freezing.
06:47He slowly lights a cigarette and asks,
06:49Julie, I know I was harsh, but I had to give you a reality check, so you know your place.
06:54I respond calmly, I'm not here to argue.
06:57Approve my resignation.
06:58Ray exhales a smoke ring and flicks the ash.
07:01What?
07:01You're required to give me a 30 days notice.
07:04Don't even think about slacking off.
07:06I won't let you leave.
07:07Just like that.
07:08It's clear Ray wants to make my life hard during this time.
07:11That's when the phone on his desk rings.
07:14Ray picks up the phone.
07:15What is it?
07:16The system crashed?
07:17The data are gone?
07:18Mr. Wagner wants Julie to handle it?
07:20You all are useless.
07:22He slams the phone, visibly flustered.
07:24He glares at me with mixed emotions, anger, reluctance, and the touch of embarrassment.
07:29Ray speaks through clenched teeth.
07:31Axion Tech's system is down.
07:33Their CEO, Ben, said he wants you on it.
07:35You still work for Azure Corp.
07:37So put out the fire.
07:38Mess this up, and you'll bear the consequences.
07:41I look at Ray's enraged face.
07:43How absurd.
07:44He needs me to save the company, but fails to reward me.
07:47I say, sure.
07:48But this is my last duty in the company.
07:50He knows what I'm saying.
07:52He'll have to approve my resignation if he wants me to settle it.
07:55Ray grits his teeth and agrees.
07:57Fine.
07:58Julie, you got me.
07:59Upon hearing that, I go to the tech department.
08:01Axion Tech has run into a nasty core code bug.
08:05Technicians are stumped.
08:06When they see me, they feel hopeful yet uneasy.
08:09I ignore them.
08:10Sit down and log in.
08:12Memories about Axion Tech's custom request during every system upgrade rush out.
08:17An hour later, the data are restored.
08:19Ben Wagner calls me directly.
08:21Julie, you're the only one I can count on.
08:24He says happily.
08:25Then, he adds softly, I heard about how Ray slapped you yesterday.
08:29What a scumbag.
08:30Anyway, my friends and I only want to collaborate with you.
08:34Wherever you work.
08:35Also, I can always use someone like you.
08:38I say from my heart.
08:39Thank you.
08:40My years of effort have won the approval of those who truly know their stuff.
08:44I return to Ray's office.
08:45He looks angry listening to the report.
08:48The issue solved.
08:48But he's still stressed.
08:50I give him my resignation letter.
08:52Mr. Zane.
08:52Your approval.
08:53Ray gazes at the letter and looks at me.
08:55Julie, you know that you secured this order because of the company.
08:59If you leave, you won't amount to anything.
09:01I say bluntly.
09:02Just get to it.
09:03After the earlier issue, Ray may have realized he needs me.
09:07Ray studies my expression.
09:08You want a pay raise.
09:09Fine.
09:10I'll bump your pay by $500.
09:11He sticks five fingers out as if he's done me a huge favor.
09:15$500?
09:16I sneer and say, sign it.
09:18Don't waste my time.
09:19No one has ever talked to him this way.
09:21He is beyond enraged.
09:23In the end, he signs my resignation letter and tosses it back to me.
09:26His tone is laced with anger.
09:28Julie, never forget this.
09:30You're nothing without AzureCorp.
09:32You'll have to beg for your old job back.
09:34I ignore him and tuck my letter away.
09:36In the afternoon, I report at my new workplace.
09:39I work as a project director earning $60,000.
09:41My office has a scenic view.
09:43I take a picture of my work ID and the view and upload it.
09:46The caption reads, to a new beginning.
09:49Many people like and comment on my post.
09:51Aside from my new colleagues, most of my old clients also commented.
09:54Ben writes, congrats.
09:56This time it'll be better.
09:57Keep it up, partner.
09:58Jane writes, Julie, you're the best.
10:01We're signing a new contract with you.
10:03Hank writes, Ms. Lane, let's meet up and talk about next year's collaboration.
10:08Each comment arrives like a wordless statement.
10:10I'm about to lower my phone when I receive a call from a familiar number.
10:14My phone buzzes.
10:15It's Ray.
10:16He screams into the phone.
10:17Julie, what did you do?
10:19Why?
10:20Why did they all pull out?
10:21Julie, what the fuck did you do?
10:23Why are Axion Tech, Coral Tech, and Virex Tech pulling out?
10:26Is it your doing?
10:27I calmly pull away from the phone and don't speak until Ray stops shouting.
10:31Mr. Zane, I don't work there anymore.
10:34The clients have their own minds.
10:35Do you think they're that naive and gullible?
10:38Ray's breathing is ragged.
10:40Ray softens, sobbing.
10:42Julie, I'm sorry.
10:43I was wrong.
10:44I let the moment go to my head.
10:45Just come back.
10:46I'll raise your pay.
10:47No, I'll double it.
10:48$12,000.
10:49And the bonus as well.
10:51$20,000.
10:52No, $30,000.
10:53I interrupt him.
10:54Mr. Zane, remember what you said when you slapped me?
10:57The clients recognized the company.
10:59Not me.
11:00A $6,000 salary is what I deserve.
11:02Now, I want you to listen to me.
11:04I speak coldly, enunciating each word.
11:06The company recognizes the clients.
11:08When you belittle the one staff who's supporting you, you should have seen this coming.
11:12No one will stain your company forever.
11:14Goodbye, Mr. Zane.
11:16Enjoy the liquidation.
11:17Then, I end the call and block Ray's number.
11:20I didn't hesitate at all, as if I'm throwing away a piece of rag.
11:23The next three days were hell for Ray and Azure Core.
11:27The first day, eight core clients canceled their contracts.
11:30The next day, up to 23 clients did the same.
11:33The third day, Axion Tech, Azure Corp's biggest client, also cancels.
11:37Ben personally gives Ray a call.
11:39Due to changes in your company's core staff, I'm going to terminate our contract.
11:42Thanks for your past support.
11:44The core client base I built over five years has been lost, accounting for 85% of revenue.
11:50The cash flow has collapsed.
11:51The celebratory mood in the office is gone.
11:54In its place, a heavy silence and rising panic.
11:57Ray locks himself in his office, smashing stuff and letting out angry roars.
12:01Lynn leads some of Ray's trusted staff to convince the clients to stay, but their calls are dropped.
12:06Those who answer asks, how well do you know our business?
12:09What's the real cause of the last issue?
12:11They can't answer it.
12:12Then, they realize that for years, they wouldn't have such amazing performances without the foundation I lay down.
12:19They merely lived off my labor.
12:21Without me, they don't know anything about our clients.
12:23In Azure Corp, things fall apart.
12:26The capable staff start looking for other jobs, while the incompetent ones hinted on me, accusing me of stealing the
12:32clients.
12:32Diana from finance came to me in tears.
12:35Please refer me to your company.
12:36I give her the HR manager's email and say,
12:39Azure Corp doesn't deserve you.
12:41You deserve a better company.
12:43On the fourth day, in Nimbus Tech's conference room, I sit at the long table.
12:47A project proposal lies open in front of me.
12:50Aside from my new colleagues, some old friends are here too, including Ben, Jane, and Hank.
12:55Ben raises his wine glass.
12:57Julie.
12:57I mean, Ms. Lane.
12:58We discussed it.
13:00We enjoyed working with you.
13:02Now you're at Nimbus Tech.
13:03We intend to transfer the original orders here.
13:06We'll each lead two partner companies and lock in next year's collab with Nimbus.
13:10Jane chimes in decisively.
13:12Julie.
13:12Let's make this clear.
13:14We trust you as a person, not the companies.
13:16You're professional and reliable, and you care about us.
13:20Ray might not get you, but we do.
13:22We have faith in you.
13:23As I gaze at my old friends, I feel warmth rising within my chest, chasing away the bitterness of betrayal.
13:29I raise my cup.
13:30Thank you for your support, everyone.
13:32Nimbus Tech won't let you down.
13:33Here, those who drive results will receive the respect and reward.
13:37I assure you, this is real.
13:39My employment contract includes the profit-sharing clause and an incentive plan.
13:44The CEO, Kent Carter, tells me,
13:46Julie, we want your capability and resources.
13:48We pay you what you're worth.
13:50We don't do empty promises or manipulations.
13:53We share the success.
13:54That's when I know I came to the right place.
13:57Later, word gets out that Azure Corp delays salaries.
14:00Staff huddle outside Ray's office, demanding their salaries.
14:04Ray sells his car and assets to cover the salaries, but he can't pay the bonuses and compensations.
14:09The once-bustling company is now a mess.
14:12Plants have wilted.
14:14Office equipment are taken away.
14:15The motivational quotes on the wall hang crooked.
14:18Lynn tries searching for jobs, but the entire industry knows how Azure Corp's core team resigned
14:23after the CEO reamed them out and the clients left.
14:27These issues are why she fails each interview.
14:29In the end, she works as an admin in a company her relative runs.
14:32With a $3,000 salary, she became humble.
14:35Ray tries to secure financing, even taking out loans.
14:39None of it works.
14:40One gloomy, rainy afternoon, he signed on liquidation papers.
14:43Azure Corp has gone bankrupt.
14:45His properties and cars are auctioned off, and he's stuck with a crushing debt.
14:49I hear someone saw him in a 24-hour fast food joint in the countryside, wearing an old suit.
14:54His hair is mostly gray, and bending down, he cleans the table.
14:58Some regulars recognize him and talk about him.
15:01He merely keeps his head lowered and dash into the kitchen after he's done.
15:04Half year passes by.
15:06Nimbus Tech develops rapidly.
15:08We take over Azure Corp's clients and attract new clients due to better terms and my professional reputation.
15:13The company has doubled in size.
15:15We move into a bigger office building.
15:16I'm promoted to deputy GM, overseeing the core business.
15:20During the party, Kent gives me a share transfer agreement.
15:23Ms. Lane, you earned this.
15:24The company's profit has grown threefold.
15:27The shares are yours.
15:28We agreed on we'd share the success.
15:30Here you go.
15:31Everyone, applause.
15:32My team members compose of who came from Azure Corp and those I recruited at Nimbus Tech.
15:37They're genuinely happy and proud.
15:39Scheming and bootlicking have no place here.
15:41Clear metrics.
15:42Clear rewards.
15:44Only the capable can rise here.
15:45It's simple and fair.
15:47People can focus on driving results.
15:49During the banquet, I went to the balcony.
15:51It's a perfect night.
15:52The city glowing softly.
15:54My phone buzzes.
15:55It's a long, elaborate text from Mindy.
15:57She said she also left Azure Corp for another company.
15:59But something felt off.
16:01She apologized for manipulating me.
16:03She finally understood.
16:05Exploiting the dedicated staff will just undermine the whole team.
16:07She wished me success.
16:09I don't reply to Mindy.
16:10Sometimes, an apology cannot undo the damage.
16:13Sometimes, there's no turning back.
16:15I no longer resent her.
16:16Mindy's just a product of that toxic place.
16:19She's not worth the time.
16:20Months later, at Nimbus Tech's annual event, I represent the company and spoke on our new vision and plans.
16:25When it's over, a Q&A session follows.
16:28A reporter asks, Ms. Lane, everyone knows you took Azure Corp's clients with you.
16:33What's your view on poaching your old company?
16:35Does this count as an unethical competition?
16:37The venue goes quiet.
16:39Everyone stares at me intensely.
16:40I pick up the microphone and say calmly, first, let me make this clear.
16:44I didn't poach Azure Corp.
16:46Eight years there.
16:47No pay raise.
16:48No bonuses.
16:49I was humiliated when I asked for a raise.
16:51So, I resigned by the book.
16:53Secondly, the clients chose to leave due to the service I provide them and their confidence in me.
16:58They leave because there's a better, safer choice.
17:00That's normal.
17:01Clients choose what works best for them.
17:03Lastly, I'd like to talk about my take on companies and employees.
17:07I look around, my voice crisp and firm.
17:10Many leaders believe an employee is nothing without the company.
17:13But they forgot that a company is built and sustained by each and every employee.
17:18Respecting them, especially those who bring results, isn't a favor.
17:22But essential to survival and growth.
17:25I say confidently, belittling employees, stealing the credit, and exploiting people are all recipes for disaster.
17:31Nimbus Tech believes that the best company is a place where everyone can shine and share in the success.
17:37We didn't poach anyone.
17:38What we have is a team willing to contribute to the company.
17:41Thank you.
17:42At the next moment, I'm greeted with applauses.
17:45My clients' representatives are clapping.
17:47Kent's nodding with a smile.
17:49While my team members are standing up, misty-eyed.
17:52I know I mean every word I uttered.
17:54After the event, I received a text from an unknown number.
17:57It's just an image.
17:59In it, Ray's wearing a greasy uniform.
18:02His hair a mess.
18:03He's staring vacantly at the distant neon lights.
18:06Looking weary and withered underneath a dim light.
18:09I see a street-facing LED screen.
18:11Playing news clip from Nimbus' launch event in the background.
18:14My face is visible on it, too.
18:16It's an anonymous text, but maybe someone's still bitter about Azure Corp.
18:21Or enjoys making fun of Ray.
18:22I stare at it for a while.
18:24I don't feel pleasure or sympathy.
18:27Just an indifferent calmness.
18:29Ray used to give me so much pressure.
18:31But he's already become insignificant now.
18:34Meanwhile, I've climbed higher than he ever could.
18:36I delete the text and block the unknown number, too.
18:39Some images aren't worth saving.
18:41And some people aren't worth remembering.
18:44At the year-end company gala, I'm chosen as the employee of the year.
18:47The award praised my outstanding performance, professionalism, and amazing leadership.
18:53Driving growth and setting the bar for delivering results.
18:56Bonus is generous.
18:58Incentives are higher.
18:59But I care more about the unchecked excitement in the eyes of my team members.
19:04It's a feeling of being valued and appreciated for their work.
19:08What I once lacked, I now give to them.
19:11Later, Kent pulls me over and makes an announcement.
19:13Next year, Ms. Lane will lead the new sales division.
19:16Focusing on high-end customized services with full company support.
19:21Kent adds,
19:22Also, we're launching Project Starlight to build up more core staff like Ms. Lane.
19:26And share in the growth.
19:27Everyone's thrilled.
19:28I know this project isn't only for me.
19:30It's also a message.
19:32And a promise.
19:33At Nimbus Tech, if you're capable and diligent, you can build your future and find where you belong.
19:38At night, everyone's left.
19:40I walk toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
19:42Outside, the city still glows brightly.
19:44My reflection in the mirror shows a sharp suit, neat short hair, and a calm, confident gaze.
19:50The wound on my lips is gone.
19:52I think about how I wiped blood from my lips at the banquet a year ago.
19:55I think about how I was slapped and what Ray said to me.
19:59I think about the way my former colleagues look at me.
20:01Everything seems so distant yet so vivid.
20:04The agony and humiliation gives me a rough awakening and forces me to leave.
20:09My phone buzzes.
20:10It's a text from Mom.
20:11Sweetheart, I saw the news.
20:13You're amazing.
20:14Take care of yourself.
20:15We're proud of you.
20:16The simple text brings tears to my eyes.
20:18I take a deep breath and reply.
20:20Don't worry, Mom.
20:22I've never felt better.
20:23I'm aware that my time has just started, and I won't be doing this alone.
20:31More people who believe and respect creating values will be there with me.
20:35Don't worry, Mom.
20:36I've never felt better.
20:38As I send my text, I hear footsteps behind me.
20:41Turning around, I see Kent holding two glasses of warm water.
20:45He hands me one of them and gazes out the window.
20:48Still awake?
20:49I take the glass, feeling warmth in my fingers.
20:51Planning the new division.
20:53Kent's tone is casual, but he sounds very serious.
20:56The HR department has given me names for Project Starlight.
20:59I've sorted through them.
21:00Three of them are former Azure Corp staff, and five of them are outstanding newcomers.
21:05I freeze before realizing it.
21:07It's Linda.
21:08When I resigned, they privately texted me messages of support.
21:12Later, they also resigned.
21:14I say, they're worth it.
21:15Nimbus Tech won't lower its standards for personal feelings.
21:19Kent grins.
21:20Their performances and client feedback are excellent.
21:23We fell silent for a minute.
21:25Then, he says, I receive news about Ray.
21:28I freeze slightly and say nothing.
21:30Kent continues indifferently.
21:31He couldn't pay his debts, and the debtors found him.
21:34It was a huge mess.
21:36The restaurant owner had to fire him and pay them a little.
21:39I quietly finish my water, peace slowly settling in.
21:42I respond, not my business.
21:44Kent nods and drops the topic.
21:45The new sales division's launch meeting and Project Starlight's signing are at 9am.
21:50I say, I'll be there on time.
21:52After Kent left, I stand there for a long time, not feeling any joy or regret.
21:57Everyone bears the cost of their choices.
22:00Ray chose arrogance and exploitation, and this is what happens.
22:04I chose to leave and fight, and I got what I want.
22:06The next morning, I arrived half an hour earlier.
22:09The conference room is ready.
22:11Name cards, Project Starlight contracts, and a screen looping Nimbus text history.
22:16By 8.50am, everyone is here.
22:19Linda and the others from Azure Corp sit together in sharp suits, looking tense but excited.
22:25The young newcomers are restrained, yet clearly hopeful.
22:28At 9am, Kent enters the conference room, and the meeting starts.
22:32He sweeps his eyes across the seats.
22:35Today's a big day for us.
22:36We're commencing the high-end service, and witness the core staff's growth.
22:41He gestures at me.
22:42Ms. Lane, as the new division's head, walk us through the plan.
22:45I stand up and take the microphone.
22:47This customized service is about accuracy and exclusivity.
22:51We'll form three dedicated teams for finance, healthcare, and smart manufacturing.
22:56Every team will provide technical and customer support, ensuring a seamless delivery every step of the way.
23:01Project Starlight members will join as core staff with training and profit sharing.
23:06The next moment, everyone in the room applauds.
23:10Linda and the others clap hard, tears in their eyes.
23:13When it's time, they step forward and sign the contract.
23:16When it's Lynn's turn, her hands are trembling.
23:20She looks up at me gratefully and says,
23:22Ms. Lane, thank you.
23:24I respond in a smile.
23:26Thank yourself.
23:27Your determination brought you here.
23:28When it's over, I made Lynn and two former colleagues' day.
23:32I opened a file and say,
23:33Mr. Wagner has confirmed the first finance deal.
23:36Next Monday, we'll meet with him.
23:38Also, Ms. Lambert recommended a top-tier smart medical project.
23:42In smart manufacturing, Mr. Vance has two smart production lines that need upgrading.
23:46These are our first orders.
23:48Everything must go smoothly.
23:49They jot down what I say, nodding firmly.
23:52Linda says hesitantly,
23:53Ms. Lane, some old colleagues also wants to work here.
23:56While they've never stood up for you, they didn't boycott you either.
23:59I ponder for a second.
24:00Let them follow the procedures.
24:02Nimbus Tech welcomes the capable people.
24:04But we don't do old boys' specials.
24:07I say,
24:08All I care is what they have to offer to Nimbus Tech.
24:11Linda nods.
24:12Understood.
24:13For the next month, the new division is swamped.
24:16I meet the clients with my team, work through the nights, and solve issues.
24:19It's difficult, but everyone's spirited.
24:22After all, hard work is recognized and rewarded here.
24:25One afternoon, I'm discussing Axion Tech's project when someone knocks on the door.
24:29Ruby Stiller, the HR manager, walks in looking a little uneasy.
24:33Ms. Lane, someone called Mindy is looking for you.
24:37Says it's urgent.
24:38Mindy, it takes me a second to remember.
24:40It's the old deputy CEO.
24:42I lower my documents and say,
24:44Let her in.
24:45Mindy walks into my office shortly.
24:47She looks much more miserable.
24:48Her hair is gray, and she's wearing a worn-out jacket.
24:51She's nothing like her old self.
24:53Her voice is a little hoarse.
24:54Julie, it's been a while.
24:56I point at the chair across the table.
24:58She says,
24:59I appreciate this.
25:00After she sat, she clasps her fingers nervously.
25:03I ask directly,
25:04What do you want?
25:05Mindy looks up, eyes pleading.
25:07I need a job.
25:08After Azure Corp, I searched for jobs.
25:11No one wants me.
25:12They said I helped Ray exploit employees.
25:14I'm a bad person.
25:15I know what I did is wrong, and you don't have to help me.
25:18But my husband is bedridden, and my kid is studying.
25:21I'm desperate.
25:22Mindy pulls out medical bills and medical reports from her purse.
25:25Julie, you're a kind person.
25:27Take pity on me and give me a chance.
25:29I look at the papers.
25:30Then at her wrinkled face, feeling a mix of emotions.
25:34Her manipulation did hurt me.
25:35But I still feel a little sorry for her.
25:37I speak slowly.
25:39We have proper hiring procedures here.
25:41I can't just give you a job.
25:43Mindy's gaze immediately drops, a bitter smile forming.
25:45Then, I add, that said, the new division needs a customer records admin, organizing and maintaining client data.
25:52We need someone meticulous, patient, and has knowledge on the position.
25:56If you want it, you can apply for it.
25:58I'll talk to the HR manager and get you a chance to compete for it.
26:01But it depends on you.
26:03If you will get the job, not me.
26:05Mindy looks up, hope in her eyes.
26:08Thank you, Julie.
26:09I swear I'll do my best.
26:10I won't stir up any trouble.
26:12She stands up and bows at me.
26:14I respond calmly.
26:15You're welcome.
26:16I merely gave you a chance.
26:18It's up to you now.
26:19After Mindy left, I give Ruby a call and tell her about this.
26:22I didn't condemn Mindy because of the past, nor did I break the rules out of sympathy.
26:27Perhaps this the fairest approach.
26:29A week later, Ruby tells me Mindy passed the interview and will work as customer records admin.
26:34Ruby adds, she was sincere during the interview.
26:37She had her own take on the position.
26:38And she's very humble, with none of her old attitudes.
26:42I nod and say, that's great.
26:44In the days ahead, I'd run into Mindy at times.
26:47Mindy is always modest and diligent, greeting every colleague.
26:51Very different from the haughty woman I once knew.
26:53Once, I walk past her workstation and see her verifying a client's file.
26:57Her notebook is packed with remarks.
26:59She stands up when she sees me and greets me.
27:02I ask, are you doing well?
27:03Mindy responds shyly.
27:05Quite well.
27:06The people here are nice.
27:07I appreciate this job I got with your help.
27:10I say, keep it up.
27:11Brief and to the point.
27:13I turn and leave.
27:14As I look back, I suddenly realize people only understand themselves better after certain experiences.
27:19That applies to the both of us.
27:21Three months later, the first batch of projects launch smoothly.
27:24Axion Tech's finance system runs smoothly after going live, improving efficiency by 30%.
27:29The top-tier smart healthcare project receive high praise and local media coverage.
27:34The two smart manufacturing line upgrades cut client costs substantially.
27:38And they offer a long-term collaboration with Nimbus Tech.
27:41The new division keeps doing better.
27:43Becoming Nimbus Tech's new growth driver, Kent commended my team again at a company event.
27:48Ms. Lane and her team created a miracle in three months.
27:51They proved with results that Project Starlight is a success.
27:55And our talent strategy is right.
27:57Everyone applauds.
27:58And my team members wear proud smiles on their faces.
28:01After the event, Ben, Jane and Hank stay back to celebrate with us in an elegant restaurant.
28:07Laughters fill the room.
28:08Ben raises his wine glass.
28:10Ms. Lane, you've really stepped up.
28:12I was right about you.
28:13Jane smiles and says, I knew I can rely on you.
28:16We've given you every resources we have.
28:19Hank chimes in.
28:20We'll count on you going forward.
28:22I raise my glass.
28:23You're too kind.
28:24We achieved this together.
28:25Without your trust and support, we wouldn't have come this far.
28:28After some drinks, Ben suddenly says,
28:31Anyway, Ms. Lane, something happened to Ray.
28:34I freeze mid-toast and fall silent.
28:36Ben continues, Ray's debt is too huge.
28:39And he's sued.
28:40He's now blacklisted in the system, losing many basic privileges.
28:43He can only work local odd jobs.
28:45Jane purses her lips.
28:46He had it coming for treating her that way.
28:48What a fool.
28:50Hank waves.
28:50Talking about him ruins the mood.
28:52Let's focus on collaborations instead.
28:54The talk shifts back to business, and the room becomes lively again.
28:57I savor the red wine in my hand, feeling indifferent.
29:01Ray chose to walk down this path.
29:03Meanwhile, I'm already moving towards something greater.
29:06After the celebration ends, Linda drives me home.
29:09She suddenly asks,
29:11Ms. Lane, I heard Mindy has been doing well.
29:13Ruby says her client records are the most detailed and accurate.
29:17Moreover, she even offers to help other colleagues.
29:20Everyone speaks highly of her.
29:22I'm surprised.
29:23Really?
29:23Linda nods.
29:24Yeah, she even told me how grateful she was to you.
29:28Linda adds,
29:29Mindy said she went astray under Ray, only looking out for power and profit.
29:33Now she realizes that doing honest work with real skills is what matters.
29:37I grin, but say nothing.
29:39Everyone has their own lives.
29:41Mindy has the universe to thank for this opportunity.
29:43The car stops at the entrance.
29:45Before I get out, Linda says,
29:47Ms. Lane, I've been meaning to ask.
29:49Back then, when Ray treated you that way, why didn't you hate the clients?
29:53They knew you were mistreated, but none of them stood up for you.
29:56I fall silent, then slowly say,
29:58We have professional relationships.
30:00They recognized me and chose to work with me.
30:02That's enough.
30:03I can't ask them to stand up for me, let alone hate them.
30:06Plus, they chose to bring their business to Nimbus Corp because of me.
30:10That's a great recognition.
30:12Don't be too greedy, and don't hold grudges.
30:14Forgiveness sets you free as well.
30:16Linda nods hesitantly.
30:18Ms. Lane, you're really wise.
30:20I grin and open the door.
30:21You'll get it with time.
30:23Get some rest.
30:25After I wash up, I go to the bed, but I can't sleep.
30:28I look at the old pictures mom sent me.
30:31Mom and dad are standing behind a flower bed, smiling brightly.
30:34I send mom a text.
30:36Mom?
30:37I'll be coming home after a while.
30:39She replies.
30:40Great.
30:40We'll be waiting.
30:41You don't have to bring us gifts.
30:43Just come home.
30:44Reading mom's text fills my heart with warmth.
30:47Loving parents, a successful career, and reliable team members.
30:50My life is complete.
30:51In six months, Nimbus Tech grows even larger.
30:54The new division expands steadily.
30:57Project Starlight produces more talents.
30:59Mindy's outstanding performance earns her a promotion to team leader with three subordinates.
31:04She says to me sincerely,
31:05Ms. Lane, thank you.
31:07I have no idea where I'd be now if you hadn't given me a chance.
31:10I can pay my husband's medical fees and my kids' tuition fees.
31:14This job gave me more than a living.
31:16It also gave me back my dignity.
31:18I smile and say, don't thank me.
31:20It's all your own effort.
31:22Keep it up.
31:22It'll only get better.
31:24Mindy nods firmly, fully resolved.
31:26One day, I suddenly receive a call from an unknown number.
31:30I hesitate, then answer it.
31:32A stranger's voice comes over the phone.
31:34Hello?
31:34Is this Ms. Julie Lane?
31:36I respond, who are you?
31:38He says, I'm from the Chamber of Commerce.
31:40We're holding an industry summit.
31:42We'd like you as the keynote speaker to share your experience and insight.
31:46I'm stunned.
31:46My experience?
31:47He says, yes.
31:49You left Azure Corp, taking the core clients to Nimbus Tech.
31:52In just a year, you achieved outstanding results.
31:55Your journey has become an industry story, garnering wide respect.
32:00We hope you can share how you overcame adversity and led your team to success.
32:04I ponder for a while before agreeing.
32:06Okay, I'll go.
32:07I hang up and look out the window, feeling sentimental.
32:10A year ago, I was humiliated at Azure Corp's event and couldn't get a pay raise.
32:15Now, I became the industry's role model, invited to share my experiences.
32:19Life truly is full of surprises.
32:21At the industry summit, the hall is packed.
32:24Entrepreneurs and elites fill the seats.
32:26When I walk to the stage and grab the microphone, I don't feel nervous at all.
32:30Only calm and composure.
32:31Hi, everyone.
32:32I'm Julie from Nimbus Tech.
32:34Today, I won't talk about management theories or shortcuts to success.
32:38Instead, I want to share a story about self-worth and respect.
32:41It starts with my eight years at Azure Corp.
32:43The $80 million contract, the $6,000 salary, the three slaps at the event, and the indifferent stares.
32:50The hall goes silent.
32:52Everyone's listening intently.
32:53I add, back then, I always wondered if I'm as worthless as my former CEO said.
32:58Only after I left and saw the clients stood by me, did I realize that my value was never others
33:04to define.
33:05I continue.
33:06My value is built over my sleepless nights and relentless efforts over the last eight years.
33:11Know this.
33:12Every person who creates value is worthy of respect.
33:15As employees, we should know our own worth, not be manipulated, and never lose our boundaries.
33:20As management, we must respect the staff, especially those who create core values.
33:26Companies and employees are never in opposition.
33:28An excellent staff can help his company grow.
33:31And a big company gives its staff a chance to shine.
33:34Nimbus Tech's success isn't about me.
33:36It's built on one belief.
33:38Reward those who create value.
33:40And the company can grow bigger.
33:41In the next moment, everyone gave me a thunderous applause, standing up and cheering me on, their gazes filled with
33:48respect.
33:49I see Kent, standing in the crowd and smiling at me.
33:52I see Linda and my team, their eyes red with emotion.
33:55I also see Mindy, applauding with a relieved smile.
33:59In that moment, I suddenly realize I didn't achieve all this just for myself.
34:04I also did it for people like me, those who work quietly without recognition.
34:09I want to show them that the world will give them what they want if they never give up on
34:14creating values.
34:15After the summit, people huddle around me intending to get my phone number.
34:19Business owners want my advice.
34:21Entrepreneurs want a collaboration.
34:23I respond to each of them, wearing a confident smile.
34:26Stepping outside, warm sunlight falls on me.
34:28Linda and the team rush over.
34:30She says, Ms. Lane, what a speech.
34:33People are asking if they can join Nimbus Tech.
34:35Ms. Lane, you're an industry sensation now.
34:37I smile and say, the credit isn't mine alone.
34:40It's the result of our effort.
34:41I'm buying everyone a meal.
34:43We chat merrily on our way to the restaurant.
34:46Sunlight stretching our shadows.
34:47I know this isn't the end, but a new beginning.
34:50The road ahead is long.
34:51And there might be more obstacles.
34:53But I'm not afraid.
34:54And I'm no longer alone.
34:55I have teammates who trust me.
34:57Families who support me.
34:59And clients who value me.
35:00More importantly, I found my self-worth and where I belong.
35:04I'll keep moving forward.
35:06Create more values.
35:07And help more people realize their dreams.
35:09My time is just beginning.
35:11And I'm ready for it.
35:12Laughter fills the restaurant's private room.
35:15Linda raises her glass, looking excited.
35:17Ms. Lane, I won't forget your speech.
35:19The new recruit, Finn Yates, says,
35:21I thought this is just a job.
35:23Now I see, we create value and shine too.
35:26I clink glasses with them.
35:27You were always good.
35:29Nimbus just gave you the chance.
35:30Mindy holds a cup of warm water and says gently,
35:33Ms. Lane, your speech moved me deeply.
35:35I only cared about fame and profit.
35:37And forgot my purpose.
35:38Now I know creating value brings real peace.
35:41I say sincerely, I'm glad you see it.
35:43Everyone saw your transformation.
35:45Keep it up.
35:46More people will see your worth.
35:48There is no hierarchy here.
35:49Just shared bonds and hope for the future.
35:52Linda and I go on a stroll.
35:53A gentle breeze easing the heat.
35:55Linda asks, Ms. Lane, what's our next step?
35:58I pointed at a light.
35:59Refine the customized service to the highest level and expand overseas.
36:03Mr. Wagner and the others said, my phone buzzes.
36:06It's mom.
36:07Sweetheart, Petra's son also works in tech.
36:09He wants to know you.
36:10I smile helplessly.
36:11Mom, I just want to focus on work and nothing else.
36:14Then I hang up.
36:16Linda grins.
36:17Sounds like a blind date.
36:18I respond.
36:19Yeah, but I've got my job.
36:21I'm not lonely.
36:21Next, we focus on expanding overseas.
36:24Ben reaches out to Mason Lowe, a cross-border entrepreneur who has connections and resources.
36:29He likes our customized services.
36:31The team work late for the preparation.
36:33Mindy volunteers to handle overseas client data.
36:36I had some relevant experience at Azure Corp.
36:38She's changed from a manipulative deputy CEO to a reliable teammate.
36:42I entrusted the task to her.
36:44A week later, Mason arrives at Nimbus Tech.
36:46Mason is sharp, witty, and humorous.
36:49He listens closely to my presentation.
36:51My team and I handle his questions with ease.
36:53Mindy's data is very useful.
36:55It outlines the Istro market, its demand, and risk.
36:58And Mason is very impressed.
37:00Ms. Lane, your team is professional.
37:02Companies like this are rare.
37:04He adds decisively,
37:05Start with two of my companies first.
37:07If it works, more will follow.
37:09After Mason left, the room erupts in cheers.
37:11Finn jumps up in excitement.
37:13We entered the overseas market.
37:15But overseas expansion isn't smooth.
37:17Our first proposal for an Istro client is rejected because several details violated local customs.
37:23The client says,
37:24How can we trust you when you don't know our culture?
37:26My team is demoralized.
37:28Linda blames herself.
37:30I should have done my research.
37:31I comfort her.
37:32No, Linda.
37:33It's normal to run into issues.
37:35We just have to learn from it.
37:37I immediately arrange a cultural consultant for system training.
37:40Mindy composes local culture and industry info into a manual.
37:44Linda amends the proposal with the tech team.
37:48After that, my team learned cultural context and refined the proposal.
37:52Mindy's data details the negotiation tactics our client uses.
37:55Linda and the techs work all nights, sleeping only four hours daily.
37:59When our client finally signs the contract, Linda is moved to tears.
38:04Ms. Lane, we did it.
38:05I give her a tissue.
38:06More challenges are waiting for us.
38:08Keep up the intensity.
38:09Overseas sales will get better.
38:10However, business gradually stabilizes after the first Istro order.
38:14More Istro clients come in through referrals.
38:16We hire multilingual overseas specialists.
38:19The overseas sales team keeps expanding.
38:21One day, Ruby brings me good news.
38:24Ms. Lane, new rep Miles closed three orders in two months.
38:29He's the top among new staff.
38:30Miles resume.
38:3228.
38:33Top college grad.
38:34Overseas experience.
38:35Trilingual.
38:36Deep knowledge of the Istro market.
38:38Send him to my office.
38:40He got my attention.
38:41That afternoon, Miles shows up in a sharp suit, his gaze calm and firm.
38:45I say directly, you've done well.
38:47Tell me your take on overseas expansion.
38:50Miles answers coherently.
38:52Competition is fierce on the Istro market.
38:54We should consolidate it and expand to Darun and Averon.
38:57Their internet industry is rapidly growing.
38:59They need customized service.
39:01There are also more opportunities there.
39:03We'll offer multiple language, re-time support to meet clients' needs.
39:07Miles shares the ideas I have.
39:09I make a decision.
39:10I'll form another overseas team.
39:12And you're the leader.
39:13You'll have the resources.
39:14Miles freezes.
39:15Then stands firm.
39:17Thank you, Ms. Lane.
39:17I won't let you down.
39:19Miles keeps his words, leading his team to sign the first Darun order.
39:24The revenue is small, but it's a big step on overseas market.
39:28Kent commended Miles at a company event.
39:31Miles proves Project Starlight works.
39:33It grooms talents and attracts elites.
39:35Nimbus Tech provides chances to those with dreams.
39:38Everyone applauds and Miles looks very proud with his team.
39:42Late night.
39:43It's raining outside.
39:44I'm about to call a cab.
39:45When Miles' car pulls over.
39:47Ms. Lane, let me give you a ride.
39:49It's on the way.
39:50I get into his car.
39:51Suddenly, Miles says,
39:52Ms. Lane, I've always admired you.
39:54You've come a long way since Azure Corp.
39:56People say you got lucky, but I know it's hard work and dedication.
40:00You taught me that steady work and real value lead to reward.
40:03I grin.
40:04Success comes from effort and persistence.
40:06I'm lucky I have an amazing CEO and a good team.
40:09We arrive at my place shortly.
40:11I thank Miles and watch as his car drives away.
40:13Life is like this storm.
40:15Although it's harsh, it'll get better if we persevere.
40:17Before long, Kent sends me a text.
40:19Meeting at 9am.
40:20We'll talk about IPO.
40:22Be there.
40:23The notion gets me very excited.
40:24Nimbus Tech readies for IPO amid challenges.
40:28Next morning, Kent says,
40:30Our growth means we're ready for IPO.
40:32It means more funds, bigger sway, and more rewards for staff and shareholders.
40:37The consultant walks us through the process and demands.
40:39And everyone joins in the discussion.
40:41After the meeting, Kent asked me to stay.
40:44Another team will handle IPO preparations.
40:47You'll lead core sales and overseas expansion.
40:49Also, once we go public, you and your team will have more incentives.
40:53You earned it.
40:54I'm very moved.
40:55Thank you.
40:55I'll do my best.
40:56After that, everyone pushes ahead for IPO preparations.
41:00The core sales and expansion stays steady.
41:02Miles leads the Daroon team and signs more major orders.
41:05Overseas revenue keeps rising.
41:07Mindy receives an exemplary award.
41:09She's thrilled when we talk.
41:10Ms. Lane, I never thought I'd get this.
41:12Thank you so much.
41:13I smile and say, you earned this yourself.
41:16The future is wide open.
41:18Time flies.
41:19By year-end, Nimbus Tech hit new highs.
41:22Overseas revenues surpassed 30%.
41:24The IPO application is accepted.
41:27The annual event is bigger than before, with guests, partners, and media.
41:31I wear a tailored dress and greet guests.
41:33Ben smiles and says, heard you're going IPO.
41:36I can't wait already.
41:37The annual gala kicks off.
41:39Kent gives a speech, reviews the achievements, and announces,
41:42Our IPO application has been accepted.
41:45The crowd goes wild.
41:47Employees cheer.
41:48Guests applaud.
41:49I'm nominated as the outstanding contributor, with a higher bonus and incentives.
41:53Linda, Miles, Mindy also win awards.
41:55When I step on stage to accept mine, everyone applauds.
41:59I can't help but tear up.
42:00Thank you.
42:01I am where I am today.
42:02Thanks to Mr. Carter, my team, and my partners.
42:05I didn't believe hard work would pay off until I joined Nimbus Tech.
42:08Creating value matters here.
42:10Going public is a new challenge for us.
42:12I'll keep pressing forward with all of you, and make Nimbus Tech better.
42:16Moments later, everyone applauds.
42:18Then, everyone enjoys the celebration.
42:20With a wine glass in hand, I drink with each employee and partner.
42:24Miles comes over.
42:25Ms. Lane, congrats.
42:26Also, thank you.
42:27I respond, fate favors the prepared.
42:30You earned this.
42:31Mindy comes over.
42:32Ms. Lane, a toast to you.
42:34I found myself because of you.
42:36I drink with her and say, let us build a better tomorrow.
42:39After the annual gala, Miles offers me a ride home.
42:42I accept it.
42:43He asks me hesitantly in the car.
42:45When will you think about your love life?
42:47I smile and say, that's up to fate.
42:50I like the way I am now.
42:51The car arrives at my place.
42:53I thank Miles and get out.
42:55I lie down after washing up.
42:56Mom sends me a text.
42:58I saw the news, sweetheart.
42:59Amazing.
43:00I'm proud of you.
43:01I'll stop bugging you about your love life.
43:02Warmth fills my heart.
43:04I reply, I'm doing great.
43:06Then I look out the window.
43:07Stars are shining.
43:08The night is quiet.
43:10Nimbus' IPO faces challenges, including overseas expansion.
43:14But I'm not scared anymore.
43:15Not when I have the best team, reliable partners, and a supportive family.
43:19Respecting all efforts, I'll keep my words, create value, and overcome anything.
43:24Nimbus' text time has come.
43:26And my life is also shining at its brightest.
43:29I close my eyes with calm and confidence.
43:32The future looks promising.
