After the divorce, I became a rich girl

When colleagues in the office saw Zhang Ruiyan walking out of the HR manager's office, they all looked at each other in bewilderment. After so many years in the workplace, they naturally understood what Zhang Ruiyan was facing. However, they were just ordinary workers and could not provide any substantial help. They could only look at her with comfort.

Zhang Ruiyan sighed deeply while sitting at her workstation. She felt that her life had really reached a dead end. She didn't understand why she had come to this point. As the only daughter in the family, her parents were both high school teachers. She had been excellent since she was a child, graduated from a prestigious school, and had outstanding looks, but now she had achieved nothing.

Perhaps it was because she had never experienced setbacks since she was a child that made her mind too simple and she took love too seriously. For love, she gambled everything she had, but now she has lost everything.

She didn't want to feel the sympathetic looks from her colleagues, so she stood up irritably and went to the bathroom.

Standing in front of the bathroom sink, Zhang Ruiyan looked at her pale face in the mirror and involuntarily reached out and rubbed her cheeks, trying to make her expression more lively, but the smile she forced out was uglier than crying.

She smiled bitterly. No matter what she did, she seemed unable to escape the predicament.

Just as Zhang Ruiyan was about to throw the paper ball in her hand into the trash can and prepare to return to her workstation, a female colleague in a white suit called her.

The colleague walked up to her and handed her a note: "Sister Ruiyan, everyone knows your situation and is very concerned about you. We are both women and both workers, and I really empathize with your experience. This month, colleagues all think that you are very capable at work, and you have provided the account you manage to the company free of charge, which is really amazing.

The company is doing this now. To put it bluntly, please don't mind. The company is obviously "killing the donkey after it has done its job". And what's wrong with pregnancy? The country now encourages childbirth, but the company is obviously setting up obstacles for female employees in the workplace. In the face of this unfair situation, we should not remain silent, but should have the courage to resist. "

Zhang Ruiyan took the note, looked down at the phone number on it, then looked up at the indignant woman in front of her and said, "I know you, Qin Wanwan from the logistics management department. Thank you for your concern and support. But may I ask, what is this you gave me?"

Qin Wanwan's eyes flashed with surprise and panic. She didn't expect Zhang Ruiyan to know her name and department. After all, she was in the logistics management department and didn't come here often. Many people who had worked in "Meishang" for one or two years might not know her.

But since she was recognized, so be it. There are no cameras here anyway, if something really happened, she would deny it if the higher-ups investigated.

Qin Wanwan looked around, approached Zhang Ruiyan, and whispered, "I know a reporter who is making a program about workplace discrimination against women. After each video is released, it will trigger widespread discussion among netizens. You can contact him. I think if your situation is made into an interview, it will definitely go viral."

Zhang Ruiyan looked at the note in her hand, then looked at Qin Wanwan who looked sincere, and smiled unconsciously. She said to Qin Wanwan: "Thank you, I will consider it."

After hearing this, Qin Wanwan smiled and said, "Think about it carefully. I can't stand the company's discrimination against women, so I gave you this contact information, but it's up to you what to do."

Zhang Ruiyan listened to her response and said, "I understand," and then sighed and said, "I thought 'Meishang' was different from other companies, but I didn't expect them to be the same."

Qin Wanwan immediately nodded in agreement and said, "They are all capitalists. How can they empathize with us, the grassroots workers?" Then, she made a cheering gesture to Zhang Ruiyan and said, "Many female colleagues in the company support you in defending your rights. Come on!"

Zhang Ruiyan watched Qin Wanwan leave, glanced down at the note in her hand, smiled and shook her head. If she really believed that Qin Wanwan was simply standing up for her and giving her the contact information purely to support her rights, then she was really naive.

Zhang Ruiyan couldn't help but think of some rumors in the company. Director Wu and Editor-in-Chief An in the editorial department were fighting each other. Behind Director Wu stood Miss Li Jiawei, the largest shareholder of "Meishang", and Editor-in-Chief An's position in the company came from her many years of hard work in "Meishang", and there were many of her confidants in the company.

Putting aside her love-mindedness, Zhang Ruiyan is actually very smart. She doesn't think that this note was sent by Wu Ziqi. After all, it is not in the interests of the company. Then, Qin Wanwan can only be Editor-in-Chief An's person.

But why did Editor-in-Chief An guide her to expose the matter online?

Zhang Ruiyan sat at her workstation, rubbing her brows and thinking about various possibilities. As a student majoring in media, she knew very well what kind of news would trigger what kind of public opinion storm.

Zhang Ruiyan could foresee that if she put the topic of "'Meishang' innocently dismissed a pregnant employee" on the Internet, she would not be able to control the direction of public opinion.

By then, when public opinion has subsided, her rights and interests may not be protected, and her future job search may be greatly hindered. Unless there is a strong capital supporter behind her, who continues to build momentum for her and portrays her as a fighter for women's rights, she may be able to gain a small benefit from it.

But is this possibility high? She doesn't think those people are so kind. Therefore, the worst outcome she had considered before, that is, speaking out online to protect her rights, is only an option when there is no other way.

Zhang Ruiyan couldn't help but think of Editor An again, wondering why she wanted to guide her to expose this matter? After all, the consequence of exposure would be extremely detrimental to "Meishang", and as a senior executive of "Meishang", what benefits could An Ling gain from it?

Zhang Ruiyan was thinking about something, but it did not affect her work. She typed the letters on the keyboard rhythmically, making a crackling sound. Although it was not pleasant, it brought a sense of decompression and allowed her heart to slowly calm down.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruiyan thought of a possibility: "Editor-in-Chief An may have joined other investors, and she wants to bring down 'Meishang'!"

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Ruiyan was shocked and stopped typing. She looked at the computer page and felt a little funny. She was a new employee who had been in Meishang for less than two months, but she became the fuse of the internal struggle among the company's top management and became a crucial chess piece.

I don’t know whether to say she is lucky or fate is playing tricks on her. How could she have deserved to be involved in such a situation?
