“But you need to clarify the overtime pay first.”
“If they won’t pay you, then refuse.”
“Don’t be embarrassed. It’s your right.”
Chen nodded.
“I understand. Thanks, Zheng.”
He left, and I went back to typing code.
My phone suddenly buzzed.
It was a post from Old Li:
“Helped another friend win a labor arbitration case today. Justice lives in people’s hearts!”
I liked it and commented:
“Keep it up. Let more people know the Labor Law isn’t just for display.”
Old Li replied right away:
“Young man, if you hadn’t started this in the first place, I wouldn’t have thought of helping other people stand up for their rights.”
“Now I’m practically a labor-law expert, hahaha.”
I smiled and put down my phone.
Outside the window, the sunlight was beautiful.
I thought back to that bottle of water.
The one that had cost me ten thousand yuan.
Looking back now, it was the most valuable bottle of water I’d ever drunk.
It taught me this:
You can’t be too honest.
But you have to know where to draw the line.
What you need to fight for,
you have to fight for.
What you need to stand your ground on,
you have to stand your ground on.
That’s what real dignity looks like.
