In his entire life, Chen Yuan had almost never been scolded by anyone.
He had always been a model student in school. His classmates were eager to befriend him, and his teachers, even more so.
Being reprimanded like this by someone other than family, he was instantly filled with a stinging sense of shame.
This was the real world. A college graduate, out of the ivory tower, could no longer expect any special treatment.
Chen Yuan didn't get hot-headed and argue back. He knew he was in the wrong. You had to be careful when working anywhere, especially as a bottom-rung intern who was new to all this.
It was his first day, and before he could even take a single step toward his bright future, he'd landed himself in this unfixable mess.
