Chapter 23: Adversity 逆境

hemselves, seeking a safe and secure retirement.

可是在职场中多做多错，做的多的人功劳大，但是风险也大。这也是为什么在职场中的很多老油条只做自己分内的事情，不肯多走一步路，不肯多说一句话的一个重要原因，并非所有人都是懒惰之人，只是很多人爱惜自己身上的羽毛，求的是自保，求是的安全退休而已。

Initially, Gu Xiang''s efforts were praised. But the market constantly changed, and leaders made mistakes too. When higher-ups made decisions that resulted in unavoidable losses for the company, someone had to take the blame.

很多事情你开始做的时候能得到领导的夸奖，可是市场瞬息万变，领导也有决策失误的时候，当高层出了错，给公司造成了不可避免的损失，总是要有人站出来背黑锅的，顾湘恰恰就成了这个替罪羊。

Gu Xiang, lacking social experience and being naive, became the perfect scapegoat.

因为她缺少社会经验，涉世未深，心志单纯，所以她是最好的人选。

She poured her passion and energy into her work, only to face a harsh reality.

她为工作奉献了自己满腔的热情和所有的精力，可是工作最后回报她的却是这冷冰冰的现实。

Reading history makes one wise. Why did so many capable and accomplished historical figures didn''t end well?

读史使人明智，历史上为什么那么多能力出色、功劳显赫的人物不得善终呢？

Was it because leaders lacked vision, or was finding a talent scout challenging?

是领导格局太小？还是伯乐难求？

These questions, though interesting, were not directly relevant.

这些都是题外话了！
