One Cent Revenge: Secrets and Redemption in the Workplace
墨書 Inktalez
At the end of the year, while reviewing the statements, I discovered several extra pages in the billing statement. After working overtime to reconcile everything, I found that there was an extra One Cent in the account. To confirm, I stayed up for three nights and rechecked the statements. I discovered that the new secretary, Mi Fangfang, was depositing One Cent into the Company Account every day.
I approached her and asked, "Why are you putting money into the Company Account?" She looked innocent and replied, "I noticed you seemed anxious every day because of the discrepancies, so I just wanted to help." The boss also defended her, saying, "She means well; it's not a big deal."
Then, within the company, people began to accuse me of bullying my colleague. I was forced to resign. Later, Mi Fangfang went live online and slandered me, claiming that I bullied her. Overwhelmed by it all, I jumped from the 18th floor and died on New Year's Eve.
When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn back to that fateful day when everything went wrong. Looking at the extra One Cent on the statement, I smashed my mouse in frustration. "Who is it that deposits One Cent into the Company Account every day?"
My sudden outburst startled my colleagues around me. After all, I was a quiet person. Colleague Huang Jingshan was the first to react and joked, " Shanshan, you didn’t fail at matchmaking again, did you?"
I shot him a cold glare and asked, "Is it you who does it every day?" He paused for a moment before anger flickered across his face. "What’s with your outburst?"
I looked seriously at all my colleagues around me. "Now, no one is willing to step forward and admit it, right? Let me tell you, if no one admits it, our audit results will be deemed unsatisfactory."
"Do you know what will happen if the group audit fails?"
"Light penalties may result in fines, while severe cases could lead to the dismissal of the entire finance department."
Mi Fangfang rushed in from outside, panic evident on her face. "What happened? What happened?"
I looked at her with a cold smile. "What happened? Don't you know?"
"Sending one cent to the Company Account every day, is that fun?"
Mi Fangfang's face turned pale. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to help you..."
"Help me? Where are you going to get the money? How much do you earn in a month? Can you cover this one million deficit?"
"I... I..." Mi Fangfang stammered, unable to find her words.
Finally, she managed to say, "I'll buy you all coffee."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be this serious. I'll cancel the order right now."
She started to head out.
I grabbed her arm. "Since it was you who made the order, you need to pay back the money."
Mi Fangfang looked troubled. "But I already bought coffee for the whole company..."
A colleague walked by holding a coffee cup. "Oh come on, it's not a big deal. Fangfang had good intentions."
"Besides, since Fangfang treated us to coffee, there's no need to be so serious about it."
Mi Fangfang quickly chimed in, "It's fine, it's fine! I'm treating everyone; what matters most is that everyone is happy."
Huang Jingshan sipped his coffee and added with a smirk, "Exactly. Shanshan, you're not being very accommodating either."
Mi Fangfang flashed him a sweet smile. "Not at all! I hope everyone can be as easygoing as I am."
This scene had played out in my previous life as well.
Mi Fangfang's social skills quickly earned her the affection of all her colleagues.
Feeling a bit wronged after distributing the coffee, she realized she had bought one cup too few.
She handed me her cup. "I'm sorry, Sister Zhu Shan. It's my fault; can you forgive me this time?"
I smiled as I accepted the coffee and pulled out a chair for her. "Come on, sit here."
"Today’s accounts will be your responsibility to check and fill in the gaps."
Mi Fangfang bit her lip in frustration. "But I'm in Secretarial Studies; I don't know how to do that."
I raised an eyebrow. "Don't know? Then how come you manage to deposit One Cent into the Company Account every day?"
"I see you're quite interested in this. Come on, I'll make sure you get enough of it today."
I stretched lazily and began to pack my things.
