The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

The merchant took the baby elephant home, tied it to a thick wooden stake with a chain, and protected it from wind and rain by the eaves.

The businessman named the baby elephant Yu Qian, intending to remind the baby elephant to always know his own strengths and weaknesses.

The merchants provide the baby elephants with shelter and food, and teach them to perform acrobatics for people's entertainment, thereby squeezing out the value of the baby elephants.

The baby elephant was covered with scars after being hit by stones by naughty tourists, so it struggled hard to resist. The businessman saw this and whipped and scolded the baby elephant, angrily blaming the baby elephant for its bad behavior.

The merchant taught the little elephant again and again that he should be well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and repay his kindness in raising him.

The businessman said, "You have to be grateful. It's me who gave you food, taught you how to please humans, gave you the chance to survive, gave you identity and status, and let you live a glamorous life surrounded by the cheers of tourists."

"If it weren't for me, you would be nothing. You would be like other animals, struggling and rolling in the mud all your life."

"Everything you have now is a gift from me."

The little elephant grew up slowly, and under the brainwashing-like teaching, became obedient and submissive, fearing that if he made a mistake he would be scolded and abused by the businessman.

The little elephant is conceited and noble, yet inferior and weak; gentle and considerate, yet gloomy and narrow-minded; delicate and dignified, yet embarrassed and awkward.

Someone told the baby elephant, "Your legs are so much thicker than the stakes, and your body is so tall."

"The merchant has grown old, the stakes have rotted, the chains have rusted, and the collapsed eaves can no longer shelter you from the wind and rain."

"As long as you want, you can resist, you can struggle, you can resolutely turn around and leave this cage that imprisons you, to find your freedom, and stay away from this businessman who treats you as a commodity."

Said the little elephant.

"I can not do it."

"Without the merchants, I would be a useless person who can do nothing."

"I have been chained to this stake since I was a child. What I want is never freedom after breaking free from the chains. In fact, I don't even know what I want."

"The world outside is huge, but there is no place for me, and no one needs me."

"Maybe I should be chained to a stake for the rest of my life, just like the merchants want, and act like a good and obedient child, continuing to perform funny acrobatics for people and making tourists laugh."

"I can't struggle or resist. My path forward has been paved from the beginning. Even if it's covered with nails, I should just keep my head down and walk forward."

"I said everything in a high-sounding way, but perhaps the truth is that I was just greedy and hoped that this collapsed eaves could still protect me from the wind and rain."

"You can call me a coward or you can call me ridiculous."

"You can continue to discriminate and look down on me like everyone else, you can think I'm hypocritical, you can think I'm double-standard, you can think I'm unreasonable, you can think I'm conceited and brainless."

"But please don't look at me with such pity."

"No one can save me."

"Even if my body leaves, my soul cannot escape the shackles of the stake and chains."

"You can't see that the chain has long since grown into the flesh of my neck, and you can't see that the stake has grown taller over the years and has become an unstoppable giant in my heart."

"You do not know me."

“I don’t expect anyone to understand me.”

"Just think that I brought this upon myself, and don't have to pity me."

Tao Zhi and Tao Xuan, who were still children, were chasing and playing with each other. Tao Mo was bullied by Tao Zhi and cried loudly. Tao Zhi laughed loudly, and Yu Qian sat quietly under a tree watching them play.

Yu Qian knew from a very early time that he was different from them.

If I fall down and get hurt, my parents will not pick me up and tell me to stop crying. If I cry and act like a spoiled child, I will be accused of being an ignorant child. If I refuse my parents' orders, I will be labeled as someone who has no conscience and is ungrateful.

Even making friends with children of the same age was an order given to me by my parents so that I could have an excuse to curry favor with them and promote business dealings.

Yu Qian was a child who was adopted from an orphanage. She was able to stand out from the crowd of children and be chosen by this rich family thanks to her outstanding appearance.

As expected by Yu's parents, Yu Qian grew up to be a graceful young lady. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Under her guidance, she became gentle, considerate, well-behaved and sensible.

Who wouldn't say that the Yu family has an enviable daughter? Who wouldn't praise the Yu family for their great act of adopting orphans?

But after removing the mask of flattery and acquiescence, he actually used another set of mocking words in private.

Everyone said that the girl the Yu family raised was not a daughter, but a socialite.

Who doesn't know that the Yu family relies on this beautiful adopted daughter to serve as a drinking companion to attract cooperation for the company?

Who doesn't know that the Yu family has been waiting for a good price, hoping to maximize the value of this adopted daughter?

On the surface, she plays the role of a good girl, but in fact, she has broken down the thresholds of all the clubs.

I don’t know how much alcohol was drunk and how many dirty deals were made to allow the Yu family’s long-crumbling company to struggle for so long in the country.

Yu Qian was stumbling out of the corridor of the club, supporting a drunken partner, when suddenly the partner hugged her waist from behind. Yu Qian felt a chill in her heart, but still let the partner lean on her.

The drunken man leaned close to Yu Qian's ear.

"Ms. Yu, I understand why you came to me today. I can give you the project you want, but you have to let me get some benefits."

"I think you're pretty, but I'm not greedy, and I don't intend to ask you to agree to become my lover or anything like that."

"I've heard some rumors about you, and I know you're not the kind of person who would be coy or pretentious, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Just stay with me for one night, and I'll sign the contract tomorrow," the man said.

Yu Qian's face turned pale and lost its color when he heard that. Instinctively he wanted to push him away, but he held himself back.

The words my parents told me before I left are still clearly in my mind. The company is almost unable to sustain itself, and this project must be signed.

After struggling for a while, Yu Qian gritted her teeth and nodded. The man smiled very happily, tightened his hold on Yu Qian's arm, and couldn't wait to make some moves on her before they even left the house. Yu Qian's body was shaking violently.

Yu Qian met an acquaintance at the door of the club. Their eyes met and they froze in place. Before Yu Qian could react, Tao Xuan rushed over and pulled Yu Qian out of the man's arms.

The man started cursing and Tao Xuan kicked him over. The man rolled on the ground wailing in pain. Tao Xuan pulled Yu Qian back into the club. Yu Qian struggled but couldn't get rid of Tao Xuan's pull.

Tao Xuan kicked open the door of a private room and pulled Yu Qian in. What she saw was a room full of men.

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out. Tao Xuan hurriedly followed, and Yu Qian shook off Tao Xuan's hand.

"Tao Xuan, what the hell are you doing? Do you know who you kicked just now? That was..."

Tao Xuan interrupted Yu Qian before she could finish her words.

"I don't care who he is. Even if he is a king, he is still a greasy king with a Mediterranean appearance. Don't you find it humiliating that he is holding you by the waist and touching you?"

"Even if you want to find a man, you should at least open your eyes. I can't stand it if you just close your eyes and hug a bald old man on the street."

"If you really want to find a man, just pick one from the room. These are the mistresses I carefully selected. Each of them has a first-rate figure, appearance, and skills. You are getting a great deal today. If you like any one of them, just take him away." Tao Xuan said.

Yu Qian's eyes turned red when he heard this, and the fingertips of his clenched fists pricked his palms, causing pain.

"Tao Xuan, what do you know? What qualifications do you have to blame me? What do you think of me now?" Yu Qian said angrily.

"I really don't understand. I really can't figure out what you want from him? Because he doesn't brush his teeth or take a shower, or because he smells like an old man? You can't be after his pension, right?" Tao Xuan said speechlessly.

"I wanted his money, and I got the answer. Are you satisfied?" Yu Qian replied.

Tao Xuan's face was full of question marks when she heard this.

"Are you short of money?"

"Have your parents also cut off your pocket money?"

"If you make them angry, just act cute and give in to your parents. We're all family, how can they really be angry with you?"

"There's no need to sell yourself just for a little money."

"And even if you're short of money, you can't just go with anyone who gives you money, right?"

"What's the matter? If I give you money, do you still want to go with me?" Tao Xuan's mouth twitched.

"Okay." Yu Qian replied.

Tao Xuan was stunned when she heard this.

"What?" Tao Xuan was puzzled.

"Give me money and I'll go with you tonight." Yu Qian said with a wry smile.

When Tao Xuan heard this, her pupils shrank, her heart skipped a beat, and her expression became unnatural.

"What are you talking about? You're talking about whether to follow me or not. You've confused me so much that I don't know what I'm saying."

"If you really need money, although my living expenses have been cut off, I still have some savings. I will transfer them to you later." Tao Xuan said evasively.

There were tears in Yu Qian's eyes, but she forced a smile and reached out to push the hair behind her ear.

Then he approached Tao Xuan, took Tao Xuan's hand and put it on his cheek, tilted his head and gently pressed it against Tao Xuan's palm, his hair entangled with Tao Xuan's fingers, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes and fell on Tao Xuan's fingertips, feeling a little cool.

"You know what I mean by going with you."

"You've played with so many men, but you haven't tried a woman yet, right?"

"Want to try it with me?"

"You won't reject me, right?"

"Tao Xuan."

I was doomed to sink deeper and deeper into the mire and become dirty and rotten.

And before that.

Maybe I can also hug you impulsively once before I get addicted. Yu Qian felt bitter in his heart.
