"This little girl is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. She actually dares to challenge Vivian!"
"Our Vivian is the soul of the company's R&D. How could she be outshined by a yellow-haired girl?"
"But having said that, this little girl is really pretty, especially those dimples, so charming!"
"No matter how charming she is, she can't compare to our Vivian. She is our boss lady!"
A burst of noise woke me up. I looked around blankly and it took me a while to realize that I was reborn and returned to the day when I signed the bet agreement.
"What? Are you scared? If the company wants to develop, it has to keep innovating!" Pearl glanced at me, then looked at Jack coquettishly, with a bit of coquettishness in her tone, " Jack , don't you agree?"
" Yes! What Pearl said makes sense. I will make the decision on this bet agreement and let Vivian sign it!" Jack made the decision as usual without asking for my opinion.
Then, he patted my back in a falsely comforting manner, "Pearl is young and hot-tempered. You are such a generous person, so don't bother with her!"
I moved away from his touch in disgust.
"Okay! I'll sign this bet agreement!" I agreed resolutely.
When Jack saw that I agreed, he nodded quickly, fearing that I would go back on my word.
Jack and I were classmates in college. I majored in computer science, while he majored in economics and management.
When I graduated, I received offers from many large companies, but Jack's job search was quite bumpy. Seeing his lost look, I proposed a condition to those large companies: I would choose whoever could bring my boyfriend to work with me.
Eventually, Jack and I joined a large company together, where I worked in R&D and he worked as an accountant.
At that time, the computer industry was in its golden age of rapid development. My salary and bonus continued to rise, while Jack's salary remained stagnant for two consecutive years.
He was dissatisfied and felt that his talents were not appreciated, so he urged me to use my savings to start a business together.
After the company was established, I was still in charge of software development, while he was in charge of company operations.
Over the years, Jack always boasted about his own contributions, claiming that if it weren't for him, the company would have gone bankrupt long ago. And what about me? I could only work part-time, because in our industry, once you are over 30 , you face the risk of unemployment.
But in fact, when I was working in a big company, my annual salary was already over 10 million, and even the capital for starting a business was provided by me.
If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to give him a sense of accomplishment and preserve his male dignity, I would have achieved financial freedom long ago.
However, what makes me even more heartbroken is that he actually dared to betray me.
In my previous life, he teamed up with Pearl to kick me out of the company and tricked me into temporarily divorcing him for the sake of the company’s reputation.
Pearl got their marriage certificates right after we got our divorce certificates .
In the years since I started my company, I have been busy working on projects day and night and had no time to care about how he managed the company.
After the divorce, he threw dirty water on me to the media, claiming that all those vicious tactics used against employees were planned by me.
From then on, I became a vicious capitalist despised by everyone. Landlords refused to rent, vegetable vendors refused to sell, and even when I walked on the street, I would be cursed.
In the end, I starved to death alone on the street, and there was no one to collect my body.
People passing by would spit at me and curse me, saying that capitalists like me should be left to die in the wilderness.
Living my life over again, when I once again faced Jack's greasy old face and Pearl's arrogant young face, I wanted to go up and slap them twice.
But I have no evidence, so I have to win this bet and let them see who is responsible for the company's success today.
