Revenge of the Bullied

A few days after my mom gave birth to me, my dad ran off with the mistress. My mom said she was going to find my dad and left me with my uncle and never came back. My uncle was a bachelor, and because he was too poor to get a wife, he treated me like his own son. My uncle was always frugal, picking up used beverage bottles on the street and selling them to pay for my schooling, while not even having a good shirt himself. Every time my uncle came to school in dirty clothes to give me my living expenses, I had to be teased by my classmates. They said I was a garbage boy, so I resented my uncle coming to school every time. However, my uncle never blamed me, but then he rarely came to school anymore. As I matured a bit in high school, I didn't really care what my classmates thought. At that time, my academic performance was quite good. I was at the top of the class, and also a basketball enthusiast, so I quickly gained the hearts of the girls at school. But I only had feelings for one of the girls, and she was the recognized campus belle and the representative of our English class. Her name is Cheng Shasha. She didn't write me a love letter. And I never expressed it to her as well, because I'm a bit inferior by nature, not to mention confessing to her that I could blush to my ears just by looking at her one more time. Until an inter-school basketball matchup in Senior two, Cheng Shasha was serving as the captain of our school's cheerleading team, and I was the captain of our school's basketball team at that time. At that time, Cheng Shasha encouraged me to win the match. Then I joked, "If I win, will you be my girlfriend?" She smiled and said yes. What a coincidence, I won it. Later, Cheng Shasha became my girlfriend, and those days were probably the happiest I've ever been. Unfortunately, just a month after I dated Cheng Shasha, a breaking piece of news disrupted my entire life! There were countless boys in the school who were pursuing Cheng Shasha, and when they found out that Cheng Shasha and I were dating, they got a sea of jealousy and hatred. And, they started to spread a lot of scandal about my family. After that time, everyone in my class knew I was a garbage picker. In addition, some of the jerks at school even went out on the street and took pictures of my uncle picking up litter, which then went viral in the school. Cheng Shasha's affection for me decreased significantly after she heard about it, and in many cases she didn't talk to me much anymore, but she didn't break up with me. Yet, never would I have guessed that before the incident had dissipated in the school, another matter came up that I couldn't believe! It was also a message from one of the second rich generation in the class who fancied Cheng Shasha that my mother was working as a hooker in a hair salon in the city! I naturally knew what he meant by "hooker", and I had a big fight with him. Then the head teacher called my uncle to the school and gave him a good scolding. I totally didn't believe my mother was in this kind of business. What's more, she ran away shortly after giving birth to me, so how did he, Zhang Tian, know it was my birth mother? To prove my own innocence, I was in the mood to go to the county with several of my classmates to verify the matter. As a result, I never thought that Zhang Tian's words were true! I saw my mom right then and there outside the hair salon, and even though my mom left shortly after I was born, my uncle kept showing me pictures of my mom. I recognized her from the first glance! I didn't go to admit her then and ran back to school in tears and lay in my dormitory all day and night with my blanket wet from crying. Later on I found out how Chang Tian knew it was my birth mother. It turned out that he stole the picture I had hidden in my textbook, the only picture of my mother ever taken. The news of my mom being a "hooker" soon spread throughout the school, from freshman to senior year. My nickname had changed from "the garbage boy" to "the hooker's son". Cheng Shasha couldn't bear the rumors anymore and broke up with me. Even my heartbreaking attempts to stop her didn't help. She had since completely stopped talking to me at school as well and had completely cut me off. From then on my grades plummeted, and every day wherever I went I was on my own, and no one would play basketball with me anymore. And once I got to the basketball court they coaxed me away, and I was also ashamed to go again. It hit me hard, and I suffered from severe Depression. Next I dropped out of high school before I finished my senior year. My uncle didn't blame me for dropping out of school and pleaded everywhere to get me into a motorcycle repair shop in the county as an apprentice. I didn't feel much better away from the gossip, and my severe depression made me suicidal several times, but the good thing was that my uncle talked me down each time. When I was an apprentice in a motorcycle repair shop, I was as tired as a dog every day, and I had never wore any clean clothes. I also accidentally heard that Cheng Shasha got into the city's teacher's college, and she would become a teacher afterwards. And look at myself, a complete failure of a life! The good part was that I didn't get discouraged and worked frantically every day to try to get ahead someday. Maybe it was God's blessing, but when I was nineteen years old, my family's house was suddenly going to be demolished, and the government said it was going to build some kind of treasury, and the house would be compensated at **** per square foot. Since my mother left at the time, the house was assigned to my name, and the rural area of the house itself was quite large, which compensated us for a full ****,000. Uncle asked me how to arrange the money, we discussed and decided to spend it on business. It just so happened that at that time uncle wanted to establish a plastic factory, because he had been collecting bottles for more than ten years, he already knew what to do with these discarded bottles. Thus we spent 100,000 also find a local credit union loan of 20,000 yuan, and scrapped together three million yuan, that is, all we have to do to set up a plastic factory with all our assets. My uncle was very conscientious, not only capable but also very smart, and those years were a good time for the development of plastics, which, together with this opportunity, turned our family around. Over the years, our family's factory grew in size, from a dozen or so workers in the beginning to a thousand or two thousand now, which led to the establishment of a joint stock company and the municipal government's evaluation of it as an excellent private enterprise. Sometimes my uncle couldn't drive if he had to drink, so he equipped me with a big Benz to show our identity, and he would always call me up when he went out to negotiate business. Although the days were getting better and better, I was still a loner and mostly silent in the company. And I didn't have a dedicated position, so many others in the company didn't know that I was actually the biggest shareholder in the company. I didn't live far from the office, so I preferred to walk to work even if I had a car. This morning, I was still walking to work in my cheap groundhogs. Just outside the entrance to the company building, I saw a long-lost figure ......
