Desert Island Survival: A Hundredfold Improvement After Having a Baby?

"You lent Li Bin two hundred yuan to buy cold medicine, and Li Bin immediately reported to Wang Qiang at his workstation that you are easy to manipulate, a pushover, and that he can assign you more overtime work when there are endless dirty and tiring jobs."

"Are you aware of this?"

"Every time you work at the company, you take the blame for others, shoulder the blame for others, and work overtime until 3 a.m. while carrying the burden of things that no one wants to do."

"Think carefully back to those colleagues you considered good. Was there even one who stood up for you and said a single decent word?"

Zhang Tao squatted three meters away, his hair standing on end, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and bury himself alive.

He did say that.

In the company's break room, Zhao Na, holding a cup of coffee, asked him why Song Ya always helped him with errands.

Back then, in order to act tough in front of beautiful women and to make himself seem more charming, he casually retorted with a cheeky remark: "That idiot is just a simp, I wouldn't even take him if he offered himself to me."

He told this ridiculous story as a joke for days.

But how did this living Yama know all this?!

Zhang Tao stared at Lin Fan's face in horror, his heart pounding.

When this guy was an intern at the company, he always kept his head down like a taciturn person. So, he secretly saw through everyone's secrets?!

"Brother Fan..."

"That...that was all because I was ignorant back then at the company...I was just talking nonsense...I was just being a smart aleck..."

Lin Fan picked up a bottle of purified water, slowly unscrewed the cap, and didn't even glance at him.

"If you act like a saint in civilized society, at most people will think you're a fool and laugh at you behind your back as a bootlicker."

Lin Fan took a sip of water and stood up.

He looked down at Song Ya, who was squatting on the ground.

"This won't affect your fixed monthly salary, it won't affect your survival."

"But on this island, your kindness is a deadly poison."

Lin Fan stepped forward, getting closer to Song Ya.

"You're speaking up for Zhang Tao, but he'll never be grateful to you. He'll just think you're easy to manipulate and a fool who can be used. Next time, he'll push your limits and ask you for even more."

"Of course, others feel the same way."

"The farmer and the snake, and Mr. Dongguo, are two stories that are taught in elementary school textbooks."

"Did you, Great Holy Mother Song, never go to elementary school, or did you use your textbooks to prop up your desk legs?"

Song Ya's shoulders trembled violently.

A tear the size of a bean fell onto her knee.

Lin Fan's words are gradually severing the values ​​she has built up over the past twenty years.

"Sister Ya! Brother Fan is right!"

In the midst of this oppressive atmosphere, Zhang Tao suddenly let out a loud howl and rushed to speak.

To survive, and to be able to eat this top-quality blue crab later, Zhang Tao was completely willing to go all out.

Face is worthless! Can dignity fill your stomach? Can it stop those man-eating giant lizards outside?

"Slap! Slap!"

He raised his hand and slapped himself twice across the face with tremendous force.

"I really was a scoundrel before! I admit to gossiping behind people's backs! I was an animal!"

"Please, please don't ever speak well of me again. I don't deserve it!"

"If Brother Fan calls me a dog, then I'm a dog! Woof! Woof!"

Zhang Tao imitated two dog barks with remarkable realism, "You're Brother Fan's man, a person of noble birth, how could you stand up for stray dogs like us!"

He patted his sunken chest, looking as if he wanted to rip his heart out to prove his loyalty to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan straightened up and glanced at him sideways.

This dog is quite clever; it knows how to assess the situation and act loyal in front of its owner.

Unfortunately, the acting was terrible, and the emotions were too intense.

"Waaaaah..."

Song Ya was further angered by Zhang Tao's disapproving attitude and cried even louder.

"Waaah..."

Looking at the crying Song Ya, Lin Fan thought of her childhood and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

Her tone softened.

"I'm scolding you so you can live."

"Your tired old logic about how we're all colleagues and should help each other is fine in an office building, and it's fine in places with HR, labor arbitration, and the police."

As he spoke, Lin Fan handed him another crab. Song Ya lowered his head and mechanically accepted the crab.

Bright red chili oil covered her fingers. She slurped it up first. On this deserted island, nothing could be wasted. The chili water mixed with the taste of her tears was both salty and spicy.

She was overwhelmed with turmoil as she thought about Lin Fan's extremely cold words.

She simply couldn't agree with Lin Fan's theory of treating people like dogs and kindness like poison.

We are all employees of Sheng Tang Group.

Just a few days ago, they were sitting at adjacent workstations in the office building.

When it's lunchtime, everyone will pool their money to order takeout, spending half a day trying to get a discount of a few dollars.

After being scolded by their supervisor, Wang Qiang, the girls would hide in the break room and complain together.

At the end of the month, everyone sighs as they look at the pitiful number on their payslip.

We are all low-level workers, ordinary people struggling to survive at the bottom of society with a fixed salary.

Now, after being shipwrecked, they've ended up on this deserted island whose exact location on Earth is completely unknown.

Just now, a horrific massacre broke out down below, with several-meter-long, scaly monsters devouring people on the slope.

That was a monster that could chew human bones to pieces while still alive.

In such a terrifying environment, shouldn't humanity stick together for warmth?

Without uniting, no one can defeat these unknown monsters on the island.

No matter how powerful Lin Fan is, he is still just one person. He needs to rest and sleep.

If everyone harbors their own ulterior motives and schemes against each other, one day they will be defeated one by one by the monsters outside.

She just wanted to uphold the last shred of humanity, is that wrong?

Why did Lin Fan see her as an incurable idiot?

She chewed the crab meat in her mouth, her throat tightening in waves.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the cave was eerily quiet.

Zhang Tao, Xiao Zhou, and two other men squatted three meters away from the fire, not daring to make the slightest unnecessary movement, their eyes fixed on the crab shells that Lin Fan had discarded on the ground.

Lily, who had been hiding in the shadows behind the pile of supplies, made a move.

She watched Lin Fan finish the crab and saw Song Ya get a severe scolding, and she was secretly overjoyed.

She reached up and smoothed her slightly messy hair behind her ear, trying to make herself look as pitiful as possible.

She approached Lin Fan and said, "Brother Fan."

Lin Fan was holding a half-full bottle of purified water, expressionlessly rinsing the remaining red oil and crab roe from his hands.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

"explain."

Lily swallowed hard, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Song Ya, who was still sitting opposite her wiping away tears. "Do the rules you set before, that reward and punishment system, still count?"

Lin Fan shook the water droplets off his hands, casually picked up a relatively clean piece of tattered windbreaker, and slowly wiped the sharpened military knife in his hand.

"It's all about keeping your word; doing things well is rewarded, and breaking the rules is punished."

"What, what are you trying to say?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lily finally spoke, "Brother Fan, then I want to report this."

Lily raised her right hand, pointing her index finger directly at Song Ya sitting opposite her.

"I want to report Song Ya!"

Song Ya shuddered violently and raised her head.

Her eyes were still red, and tears clung to her long eyelashes. "Lily... what... what did you say?"
