My colleague shocked me by giving me a piece of fried fish
During the first 8 months of working at my current company, I only ordered food outside for lunch. Even though my parents are in the countryside and peers Everyone said they should bring rice to work, both clean and economical, but actually I’m a bit… lazy. Just thinking about having to get up early in the morning and prepare from a to z makes me cringe. Instead, I think ordering food only takes 15 minutes, a little more expensive is acceptable.
But after 8 months, I realized that ordering food out is extremely expensive. Even, there are days when the food is a bit strange, I have to skip meals, hungry all afternoon. Every month, I spend several million on lunch. Now that everything goes up in price, I think it’s time to consider wisely so as not to overspend.

I practice bringing food from home to work and eating at noon. First, I bought a lunchbox with a plug so I could heat up the food. Then, I will map out a plan of what to eat every day to go to the supermarket to buy things reasonably. Just like that, gradually, I got used to this routine. Every month, I look at the spending table that I am very satisfied with. This is also a way to keep myself healthy, because I believe that cooking by myself is cleaner and safer.
In my room, my colleagues also bring lunch. They are elderly, senior, already used to this. Sometimes on special occasions like 8/3, 20/10, company anniversary or boss’s birthday, the whole room will go out to eat. Before that, everyone will notify each other so that they do not prepare lunch that day.
Sometimes, to increase the bond between colleagues, I will cook a little more food, especially those that I can make delicious. I will give it to you, without hesitation. Because deep down, I believe that from these small actions, I will score points in their eyes. In the future, if I have any difficulties, it will be easier to ask them for help.
However, there was a colleague in the room, Ms. B., that I did not like very much. What she did even made me feel unsympathetic. Ms. B. started working 5 months after me. She is older than me, and was also assigned by her boss to take on many great responsibilities, so even though I have more seniority in my company, on the surface I still have to show respect and respect for her. This I can totally do.
When I still ordered food outside, Ms. B. often pouted and criticized, when I was about to eat, she used to say things like “It doesn’t look appetizing at all! Girls cook their own rice, just eat like this and he’ll take it”. Talking to each other like that is enough, over here she and I are not too close at all.

When I made food for her, sister B. also pointed “YES” an hour without a thank you. And yet, this B. sister also did something that hurt me immensely. Not that day, she said “Do you eat fried fish, I will give you a piece of this”. I see that she has goodwill, so I agree. Then I go wash my hands to eat. And then when I returned, Ms. B. had prepared food to share for me in a box.
When I opened the box, the fried fish inside left me dumbfounded. Everything was crushed, even the fish skin was lost… Ms. B. also added: “Eat it without bones. I’ll take the fish skin, because I like to eat fish skin. Seeing that you eat scientifically, I should add some fish for more nutrients.”
B.’s actions are very subtle and do not show sincere feelings. Whenever I cook food for people, I also save a good portion for them. But B., she considers giving the same as giving. Maybe from now on, I won’t have to give in or be obedient to her!
