I can dream about my own death.

After a flurry of explanations from his colleagues, Chen Wensheng realized that he had gotten incredibly lucky.

Previously, his colleague Li Hong, who sat at the next table, sent him an article and a video about the 749 building and how it needed to be optimized.

After his optimization, the short video he created went viral, becoming a popular video and garnering over three million views in just one day.

It's not hard to understand why this video went viral. Zhang Hongcheng, the legendary designer of Changfeng City, has passed away. This is the last video of his interview before his death, and it also includes a video of the legendary 749 Media headquarters building.

Considering all these factors, it's hard to imagine this video not going viral.

Amidst the many voices of praise, a discordant voice emerged.

"Some people are just born lucky. They have average abilities, don't work very hard, never work overtime, and are completely laid-back. But this person had a stroke of luck and unexpectedly made a viral video, and was unexpectedly named the department's outstanding employee of the quarter."

Upon hearing this sarcastic remark, Chen Wensheng immediately realized that the person was mocking him.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Chen Wensheng could not believe his eyes. These words were actually spoken by a colleague named Cao Bingyi.

In his memory, Cao Bingyi was a very hardworking colleague who was usually kind and polite to everyone. He had never seen him have any conflicts with anyone.

To his surprise, Cao Bingyi would say such sarcastic and cutting words today.

Chen Wensheng was a little annoyed, but considering that they were all colleagues who would see each other all the time, he pretended not to hear and smiled as he said to his colleagues, "Everyone works very hard and is outstanding. I have to thank Sister Li for being selected as the outstanding employee of the last quarter of this year. She was the one who gave me the interview copy about the legendary designer Zhang Hongcheng."

Li Hong immediately smiled and said, "That copy was too complicated. The data I was researching gave me a headache, and I couldn't do it at all, so I passed it on to Wensheng. Wensheng's ability to do this copy well is entirely due to his outstanding personal skills; he fully deserves the title of outstanding employee this quarter. Let's give him a round of applause."

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted.

Upon hearing the applause, Cao Bingyi immediately exploded, saying sternly, "I've worked extremely hard all year, voluntarily putting in more than two hours of overtime every day. Chen Wensheng, on the other hand, not only doesn't voluntarily work overtime, but he also doesn't have perfect attendance. For example, yesterday, Monday, he even took the day off. With such a work attitude, how can he be rated as the quarterly outstanding employee?"

The applause immediately stopped, and everyone turned to look at Cao Bingyi.

Cao Bingyi shouted again, "Chen Wensheng, you thief! You stole my title of outstanding employee of the quarter! Your actions are shameless and disgusting!"

Unable to bear the unwarranted insults any longer, Chen Wensheng turned to Cao Bingyi and retorted, "Cao Bingyi, you always seem so kind. Was everything before just an act? Was it all just to create a good impression and gain promotion opportunities? And when someone's performance surpasses yours, and you lose that opportunity, your true colors are revealed?"

"Yes, everything before was an act. I believed my abilities surpassed everyone else's, and I worked harder than anyone else. I thought I shouldn't be working on this floor; I should be on a higher floor with better benefits. However, I almost got promoted every quarter this year, but ultimately failed. In the first and second quarters, two brilliant newcomers consistently produced viral content, and I accepted my defeat wholeheartedly. In the third quarter, I created several small viral videos, and then I met Fang Yun, who had connections. Her performance was comparable to mine, and she was promoted without any doubt. I didn't have anyone backing me up, so I didn't get the opportunity for promotion, and I endured it."

Cao Bingyi raised his hand and pointed directly at Chen Wensheng.

"In the last quarter of this year, I lost to you, you lazy bum who's just coasting along. I'm furious. How come you managed to create one viral piece of copywriting that overshadowed all my efforts over the past three months? You're a shameless thief who stole my promotion opportunity."

After hearing these words, Chen Wensheng understood that Cao Bingyi's mentality had collapsed after suffering several setbacks.

However, Cao Bingyi's emotional breakdown cannot be used as a reason for Cao to attack him.

Chen Wensheng shook his head and sighed, "Cao Bingyi, you know perfectly well that 749 Company always lets performance speak for itself. Even on my first day at the company, I only made one video, and it went viral. If one video gets more views than all your videos combined, then I'm definitely going to get promoted. What's the point of you getting angry here? You might as well work harder this year... no, today is already January 4th, so you should try to get another promotion opportunity."

Cao Bingyi was severely provoked and immediately clenched his fists, rushing towards Chen Wensheng.

Seeing this, Cao Bingyi's colleagues immediately stopped him and advised him not to act impulsively.

Hearing the commotion, Manager Yu Jiafeng came out of his office and asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"

Those around him offered a brief explanation.

Manager Yu Jiafeng immediately reprimanded, "Cao Bingyi, calm down. I can see how hard you work and how much time and energy you've put into the company. But the company always prioritizes performance. Your current performance is second this quarter, so Chen Wensheng is the one being promoted this time."

Cao Bingyi stopped struggling, looking dejected, and said, "Why is it that after all my hard work over such a long time, I was easily surpassed by Chen Wensheng in the last few days of this 26-year period?"

"The outstanding employee for this quarter has already been determined, and that's a done deal. Because of your outstanding performance this quarter, I've applied to the company to give you an extra half-month's year-end bonus," Manager Yu Jiafeng comforted him.

"Manager, thank you!" Cao Bingyi replied, then slowly turned his head and stared at Chen Wensheng for more than ten seconds with a murderous look in his eyes.

Chen Wensheng stood there expressionless, paying no further attention.

In the workplace, some people are like this: when you pose no threat to them, they will treat you kindly, but once you threaten their position or surpass them, they will be jealous of you, resent you, and even try to harm you.

Cao Bingyi's behavior is undoubtedly the most realistic manifestation of the dark side of human nature.

"It's time for work. Everyone, disperse and return to your posts. Get back to work," Manager Yu Jiafeng instructed, and everyone returned to their respective positions.

Chen Wensheng returned to his seat and sat down.

Before joining the company, he had originally planned to resign and become an outdoor live streamer.

But now, he was disgusted by Cao Bingyi as soon as he arrived at the company. If he resigned now, wouldn't that make Cao Bingyi happy?

Furthermore, he was promoted and received a raise, and his subsequent benefits were even better.

He doesn't plan to resign. Rather than becoming an outdoor streamer with an uncertain income, he'd rather continue working at this company, where at least he'll have a stable income regardless of circumstances.
