After working continuously for a week, I feel exhausted.

No wonder Yan Yang is a workaholic.

It's really because the overtime culture in the company is too intense.

After our team completed a project evaluation, I thought I could finally leave work on time today.

But nearing the end of the workday, the manager sent a message in the team group chat.

Manager Qin: [Everyone, don't leave work yet. There was an issue with the Jingxin Plastics project last time, so please work a bit more today.]

Seeing this message, I couldn't help but vent to my best friend immediately.

But as soon as I opened my best friend's chat box, a message popped up in the group chat.

Accidentally, I slipped and entered the group chat dialogue box, directly sending my complaints about the manager to the group.

[I'm so annoyed, what a silly manager, making us work overtime!!!]

Before I could react, Yan Yang sitting diagonally in front of me suddenly looked up and glanced at me.

His eyes were shocked, complex, indescribable, yet filled with admiration.

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, I awkwardly asked, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Yan Yang shook his head at my words, pointed at his phone, and then slowly gave me a thumbs up.

Confused, I opened my phone and... my pupils dilated!!!

Ahhh!!!

How did I send that message to the whole group!!!

So far, the manager hasn't commented in the group or come to my desk, so he probably hasn't seen it yet.

Should I retract it?

But retracting it abruptly might seem too deliberate.

It's also not appropriate if someone reports me.

During a brainstorm, I suddenly came up with a solution and quickly tried to save face in the group chat.

[I saw someone post this complaint on my friend circle. I noticed many people nowadays complain about overtime without thinking of solutions, just blaming the leaders. I personally think working with emotions is a big taboo in the workplace. Just sharing my thoughts with everyone.]

With this statement, Manager Qin soon spoke up in the group chat.

[Wei Yan is right. Remember, everyone is not working overtime for me, but for the company's mutual development and for your own growth. If everyone has Wei Yan's mindset and enlightenment, how can we not succeed in projects and achieve good results?]

Phew...

It seems like we've passed this smoothly.

As I looked up again, all my colleagues in the team were giving me the same indescribable look as Yan Yang.

Colleagues: You really know how to talk, young one.
