The Doormat Drama Queen Stops Pretending

share time: 2025-12-31 00:35:12

Xin Peini is the workplace's well-known "doormat drama queen"—she laughs and endures when her project is stolen, silently takes the blame when framed, and even smiles and says "it's okay" when her takeout is stolen. Until that day, she catches the green-tea colleague bullying the new intern and stealing the intern's mother's hospital fees. The moment her mother's critical illness notice falls out of her bag, her "acting" shatters completely: she tears off the green tea's fake nails on the spot, sends the "workplace black material list" she's hidden for three years to the headquarters, and even retorts to the supervisor who scolds her for "no manners": "My rule is not to bully others". But when she's about to resign, the always cold-faced CEO blocks the door and smiles: "You've been pretending to be a soft柿子 for three years, now you're done? Good, I've been pretending to be an iceberg for three years too—and I'm done. Actually, the first time you took a drink for me, I knew you were acting". It turns out that the kindness hidden in her compromises had long been quietly cherished by someone; those pretended "cowardice" were just her gentle test of the world.
