When I first joined, I was put on a pedestal and constantly praised by my supervisor. I felt very confident, as if I really were that capable.

Only later did I find out that the previous Japanese-speaking salesperson had just resigned.

The company happened to be preparing to exhibit in Japan.

Once the Japanese exhibition was over, the boss’s attitude toward me became increasingly poor. She could find fault with me in every email. In meetings, there were all kinds of sarcastic remarks.

Not long afterward, a middle-aged female Japanese-speaking salesperson joined. She had nearly 20 years more work experience than I did.

I knew then that I probably wouldn’t be able to stay either.

At first, they made it sound very nice, asking me to learn from that senior colleague. Later, however, the boss asked me to hand over the Japanese clients I was handling for all kinds of reasons.

I was left with some mainland Chinese clients, and there was less and less work to do, but I still gritted my teeth and held on until after the year-end before resigning.

You could also say I was “asked to resign.” My personality is more Japanese-style; I’d like to work until retirement unless the situation becomes too outrageous.

This company is exactly the kind I can’t accept.

I’m a simple person. I didn’t specifically look into things like labor laws or tax evasion—I just did my own job.

Before interviewing at Guanglai, or after receiving an offer, many people may search online for Guanglai’s reputation. You’ll see extremely biased reviews on knowledge-sharing sites, or you may come across this article.

You might think, “It’s just a group of former employees complaining.”

“Every company has employees who are dissatisfied with it.”

Thinking this way, you decide to give Guanglai a try anyway.

That’s right—your future is yours to decide.

In the end, you’ll find that you can only become one of the following two types of people:

1. Like me, go online and share with everyone how terrible Guanglai is.

2. Silently curse the company in your heart, then look for your next job.

Actually, what you can learn at Guanglai is a very important lesson about life.

You can experience early on what it feels like to be smeared and stabbed in the back, and see exactly how useless a sales manager can be.

For example, the most classic incident was when this sales manager—the boss’s wife—said to me before I went on a business trip to Japan:

“You’re going to visit XXX?” (A certain client in Tokyo.)

“Then go visit OOO while you’re there too. After all, aren’t trains in Japan very convenient?” (A certain client in Osaka.)

Tokyo to Osaka, and trains are “very convenient”?! WTF!?

I almost laughed so hard that I farted and shit myself.

That’s the kind of environment I worked in.

Now let’s talk about what happened to me—the incident that finally triggered my decision to resign.

However, I’m currently taking a short break between client visits, so please understand that I’ll stop here for now.

If anyone is interested, I’ll write Part 2 after work.
