"Climbing up slowly isn't without opportunities, you know. You just say my salary is low. Do you know how hard it was to get my degree?"
Ouyang said, "I, I don't look down on your degree, nor do I belittle your salary, it's just... Let's be realistic, life costs money, okay? I know it wasn't easy for you to get in, and your degree is impressive, but... you can't use that as an excuse to stop me from working. What's wrong with my job? Is it not legitimate? Really now... who is looking down on whom?"
"Exactly, those celebrities, posing and being ogled every day, is that legitimate? Your company is privately owned, after all."
"Liu Yimo, you're looking down on me!"
Ouyang left angrily, ending on a sour note.
Back home, Liu Yimo called to apologize.
His apology wasn't all; his family even called to apologize.
Ouyang felt it was a bit excessive and couldn't be bothered to argue further.
The next day, when Yu Xi arrived at the company, she saw Ouyang looking unhappy.
