the hard work& prank

Scene 3: The Early Days at the Office & Sheng Feng's Harsh Treatment (The Hard Work & Pranks)

Location: A fashion company's office. Time: 10:45 PM. The entire building is almost empty. Only the dim hallway lights are on, and one desk lamp still glows—Shao Yu's.

Shao Yu sits quietly in front of his computer, completely focused on his designs. Dark circles are beginning to form under his eyes from endless late nights. Every now and then, he stretches his neck, takes a sip of water, and continues working without a single complaint.

Inside his office, Sheng Feng watches everything through the CCTV monitor.

Sheng Feng (thinking):

"Let's see... how long you can keep this up."

The Next Morning

As soon as Shao Yu arrives, he finds a huge stack of files waiting on his desk.

Sheng Feng (coldly):

"Review every one of these designs before this evening. I don't want to see a single mistake."

Without saying a word, Shao Yu nods and immediately gets to work.

A little later...

Sheng Feng:

"Go get me a black coffee. No sugar."

Shao Yu quietly brings the coffee.

After taking one sip, Sheng Feng places the cup back on his desk.

Sheng Feng:

"It's cold. Bring me another one."

Shao Yu simply nods and goes again, never arguing.

Just as the workday is about to end, Sheng Feng drops another thick file onto Shao Yu's desk.

Sheng Feng:

"I have a meeting at 9 AM tomorrow. Finish this entire presentation tonight."

The other employees exchange uneasy glances. Everyone knows Sheng Feng is doing this on purpose, but no one has the courage to speak against him.

One senior designer quietly walks over to Shao Yu.

Senior Designer:

"If you want, I can help you finish some of the work."

Shao Yu smiles gently and shakes his head.

Shao Yu:

"Thank you... but I'll manage."

Late That Night

It's almost 11 PM.

The office is silent except for the sound of keyboard clicks. Outside, light rain begins to fall against the windows.

Shao Yu is still working.

His eyes are heavy with exhaustion, yet his focus never wavers.

At that moment, Sheng Feng steps out of his office.

He notices that Shao Yu is still sitting at his desk.

For a few moments, he silently watches him.

Despite the endless workload, constant humiliation, and deliberate pressure...

Not once has Shao Yu complained.

Not once has he argued.

Not once has he given up.

For the first time, the cold expression on Sheng Feng's face begins to soften.

Sheng Feng (thinking):

"What is this guy made of...?"

Shao Yu briefly looks up, meets Sheng Feng's eyes for a second, then quietly returns to his work without saying a word.

Sheng Feng walks back into his office.A small spark of respect has begun to grow inside his heart—though he refuses to admit it.

The silent office remained a battleground of pride, and neither of them was willing to back down."
