At the end of the year, Elena, the sales champion, was voted out in a unanimous vote by her colleagues she had once helped, and her million-dollar year-end bonus was withheld. She decisively took her core experience with her when she left and switched to a new company, where she enjoyed high salary and long vacations. After that, the old company aggressively pushed an unrefined project, causing the product to explode the moment it went live and putting the company in massive compensation and bankruptcy crisis. During this time, the old company’s employees wildly spread rumors about her in order to shift blame, but Elena fought back legally. Richard, the old company’s manager, along with the entire team, knelt and begged her to come back and save the day.

The old company was completely bankrupt, and the people involved all ended up in prison, dead, or insane. Elena, however, became a partner in the new company after investing in it.
