98. The tide is surging

The news of the auctioneer's identity quickly spread to Zhang Lanling, and a smile suddenly froze on his face.

500,000, although he can take it out, but he has more money than Guan Huang, which is a bit humiliating.

If he dares to raise the price, the other party may open his mouth to be one million.

In addition to being angry, he couldn't help but wonder who had betrayed his news.

"500,000 once, 500,000 twice, 500,000 three times, transaction, congratulations to buyer No. 8."

The auctioneer knocks down the hammer on the stage.

There was a faint sigh from the venue.

I thought there was a good show to watch, but I didn't expect Zhang Lanling to be cowardly so soon.

Everyone was very disappointed.

It is human nature to watch the excitement, regardless of status.

The auction continues.

Zhang Lanling's fancy items will inevitably be sniped by Guan Huang.

The minimum is 40,000 or 50,000, and the most is hundreds of thousands.

The angry Zhang Lanling almost foamed at the mouth, and simply messed around.

If you like it or don't like it, just raise your hand.

The atmosphere of the on-site meeting was extremely hot.

Everyone could see that the two of them had torn their faces.

People who know a little bit of the inside story also deliberately look at the red face who is angry and angry, how bad is it?

finally waited until the auction ended, Zhang Lanling couldn't hold back any longer, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a bunch of things he didn't like.

walked through the crowd and walked in front of Guan Huang, "Mr. Guan, is it fun?" ”

Guan Huang glanced at him and didn't bother to speak.

Zhang Lanling looked at Guan Huang's hand on Qin Xiaolan's buttocks, his heart was full of jealousy, and he sneered, "I was really embarrassed just now, I was too impulsive, and I caused Guan to lose hundreds of yuan." ”

Guan Huang smiled, "Lose a few hundred yuan?" Haha, Professor Zhang, just play around, don't think too highly of yourself, you don't deserve it. ”

Zhang Lanling felt that his temples were jumping.

Guan Huang pointed at him with his hand, "Don't humiliate yourself next time, Professor Zhang, keep your salary for your retirement." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, Guan Huang turned around and left with the beauty in his arms.

Zhang Lanling's figure shook for a moment.

was held tightly by the people around him, "Professor Zhang, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Lanling sat down on the table, "The vertical son deceives people too much." ”

The people around him hurriedly persuaded: "Don't give him general knowledge, the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to jump for a few days." ”

Zhang Lanling soothed his mood, "Xiao Wang, you go and ask the organizer if the things you just shot can be returned." ”

fought with Guan Huang just now, although the other party spent a lot of money, he himself suffered a loss.

This hundreds of thousands of things on horseback, it is a waste to keep them in your hands.

"Okay", Xiao Wang took the words, and then said worriedly, "Professor, your body is ......"

Zhang Lanling waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'm fine." ”

Xiao Wang got up and went to the staff.

Zhang Lanling looked not far away resentfully, took out his mobile phone and called, "Mr. Zhang." ”

"Professor, you're too polite, just call me Xiao Zhang."

Zhang Lanling no longer beat around the bush and said directly, "When are you free?" Sit together? ”

"Haha, there's time at any time."

"Okay, you set a place, I'll go find you."

"Okay."

……

Susan Fowler is an engineer at Uber, but she's gone out and is now at home.

She joined Uber last January as a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at a time when Uber was still debating whether to adopt a microservices or a monolithic architecture for its APIs.

While it may seem messy, it's also full of countless opportunities.

However, in just three months, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

She left Uber.

Susan was lying on the couch, lazy.

Although it was sunny outside, she didn't want to go outside.

Open the mobile app, TikTok, and browse freely.

Because she has recently searched for a lot of "workplace sexual harassment" content.

The backstage algorithm quickly recommended her a campaign against sexual harassment in the workplace in China, "Me Too"

Susan Fowler looked at it carefully.

The movement began two years ago when a girl reported an online executive at an entertainment company for sexual harassment in the workplace during her internship.

Unable to bear it, she posted an online complaint with the caption: "If you have been sexually assaulted or harassed, please reply with 'Me too'. ”

Within a year or two, hundreds of people replied to the message.

Some just wrote "me too".

More people have reported their own experiences of sexual assault or harassment.

The more I looked at Susan Fuller, the more encouraged I became.

A surge of courage grows in the bottom of my heart.

TIKTOK THEN RECOMMENDED VARIOUS PRACTICES AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE IN CHINA.

Someone posted an accusation on the Internet,

Someone is looking for media exposure,

There are also people who go to court to sue,

……

The victims themselves form an online community to watch over each other and encourage each other.

Expose an unspoken rule of the workplace that has existed for a long time but has been ignored by many people.

The influence is gradually expanding.

From the film and television industry to the public welfare circle, the media circle, and the entrepreneurship circle......

Watching the women bravely stand up, Susan Fowler suddenly had an urge to write down and share her work experience at Uber.

She left Uber not only because of sexual harassment in the workplace, but also because of the gender discrimination that is rampant within the company.

On the first day of the team's official shift, her manager sent a series of messages on the company's chat software to harass her:

First of all, he is in an open sex relationship with his girlfriend, but her girlfriend can always easily find a new partner, which he can't.

He then said that he knew he shouldn't talk about it in the workplace, but he couldn't help it because he was looking for women who wanted to have sex with him.

In the end, he made it clear that he wanted Susan to be his sexual partner.

……

Susan naturally wouldn't accept it, and reported it to HR with a backhand, but she didn't expect the other party to be very partial to the manager and let her endure it.

In subsequent work, Susan was put in small shoes more than once.

As far as she can see, the company is laissez-faire in this regard, focusing on performance, emphasizing wolf nature, who is useful, who has power.

At a company party in Las Vegas, a manager molested the boobs of several female colleagues;

In a hotly confrontational meeting, a supervisor yells about discriminating against his subordinates' sexual orientation;

There was also a manager who threatened to hit an underperforming employee on the head with a baseball bat......

There are countless messes.

Susan hadn't thought of talking about it before.

Fear of retaliation.

After all, she is just a small employee, and Uber is a behemoth, tens of billions of dollars, and can even manipulate public opinion and influence the judiciary.

Besides, even if you say it, few people will believe it.

And now, inspired by the short video, Susan's impulse is irrepressible.

Think of the Far East, so backward and barren, and women still dare to speak up for themselves.

I have a high level of education, why can't I be brave?

As soon as she thought of it, Susan Fowler typed out a line in front of her laptop, "A Look Back at a Very, Very Strange Year at Uber"
