"Shawn, now that you've joined a big company, can you help me revise my resume and refer me?"

My roommate Zion Evans handed me a paper resume.

"When I get the job, I'll treat you to a big meal."

The same scene and same words made me realize that I have been reborn.

In my previous life, I didn't realize until I was about to die that I was being manipulated by him and my girlfriend.

I spared no effort in helping him revise his resume and seek personal connections for referrals.

During the interview, he actually claimed that all the projects I did were his achievements.

He even expressed willingness to accept a low salary.

The condition was to replace me.

After being fired by the big company, my girlfriend, Ashley Clark, broke up with me.

At first, Zion comforted me, saying that my girlfriend was a gold digger.

Who would have thought that they were already together.

For the sake of living, I continued to send out resumes to find a job, but all my efforts were in vain.

Later, I found out that I had been blacklisted by the industry.

They said I had credibility issues.

I had no choice but to rely on credit cards to survive.

But when I used them, I found that there was only a few hundred dollars left on my credit cards limit.

Ashley had used up the remaining limit by shopping before we broke up.

Finally, banks called me every day to collect debts.

I couldn't breathe because I couldn't pay off my credit card debts.

I chose an undignified way to leave.

Before I died, the last words I heard were Zion's mockery.

"Shawn, you don't know. Your job and girlfriend have been mine for a long time...

"Today is a good day. To celebrate your suicide, I decide to take my wife, your ex-girlfriend, to eat your favorite food..."

Seeing that I didn't react, Zion waved his hand in front of me.

"What's wrong with you? Did you stay up all night again?

"Hey, you've already found a good job. You can relax now. Why are you still studying modeling?

"Well, you're so good at learning. It's a waste for you to help me revise my resume.

"I envy you so much. You have found such a good job even before graduation. Unlike me, I have applied to so many companies, but none of them are satisfactory. They can't compare to yours...

"Ah, there are only tears when I talk too much."

I looked at Zion coldly.

His words were ambiguous, but I didn't notice in my previous life.

Zion looked at me expectantly, as if waiting for me to respond.

In my previous life, I went along with his suggestion and said, "I'm just lucky. You will definitely find a job that satisfies you. Send me your resume, I will make some changes and recommend you later. Maybe we will become colleagues and continue our fate."

Little did I know that my kind behavior would ruin my life.

This time, I didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

I said coldly, "You're right. If you're not satisfied, then keep applying."

Zion looked at me in disbelief.

"Shawn, do you think so too?

"I always think we are the best brothers. If I had a good opportunity, I would definitely think of you. I didn't expect that you would see me like this...

"Before, when you asked me about code problems, I never got impatient with you. Now, I just want you to help me revise my resume and give me a referral, but you keep making excuses. I was wrong about you, Zion..."

It was funny

He had the nerve to talk about code problems.

At that time, I just asked him to send me the source code given by the teacher.

In the previous life, he was always like this.

He used all kinds of moral coercion on me.

Considering our three years of graduate school relationship, I never cared about such trivial matters.

I thought I could try to help, and it would create good fate.

I didn't expect that it would lead to bad fate.

Time and time again, I didn't take it seriously, allowing him to gradually push the boundaries.

He thought that as long as he used our brotherly bond to threaten me, I would compromise and listen to him.

But this time, he was thinking too much.

I imitated his disbelief and said, "But wasn't it you who said it? I just thought you made a good point."

Immediately, he changed his expression and sneered, "You're just afraid that I'll find a job with a higher salary than yours, so you don't want to help me revise my resume, right?

"The process of internal referral is simple. Aren't you just afraid that I'll pass the interview and get a higher salary?"

Seeing his ordinary and confident demeanor, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Zion, if you want to think like that, I can't do anything about it."

He didn't know that before I died in the previous life, I had found out his secret.

When I was about to leave the dormitory, another roommate, Kyle Lynch, spoke up.

As a second-generation rich, he was preparing to inherit the family business.

"Shawn, it's not difficult to revise a resume for internal referral. If you want to help, just help. If you don't want to, it's fine. But there's no need to be so ambiguous.

"You've ruined the atmosphere in the dormitory. You've just landed a job in a big company, There's no need to act superior."

I was stunned for a moment.

Am I being ambiguous? Am I acting superior?

Is this rich second-generation out of his mind?

Clearly, the one who spoke sarcastically and ambiguously is Zion.

I glanced at Zion and finally understood the reason.

He looked so miserable, as if I had bullied him.

I had to say that Zion dressed up too well.

In fact, Zion's family background was not good.

His elder brother and sister did not go to school and started working early, only to support him to study.

He did not feel inferior because of his poor family conditions, but rather proud of it.

From time to time, he would act pitifully in the dormitory, and then accept others' concessions with a calm and justified look in their sympathetic eyes.

Because we were fellow villagers, over time, our relationship in the dormitory became the best.

He always used my things and took advantage of me under the banner of being my brother.

From using my shower gel and shampoo to treating others to dinner and having me foot the bill, he did it all.

I thought that a sincere friendship was more valuable than money.

In addition, the help I gave him was within my own capabilities.

So, I didn't argue with him.

But unexpectedly, I got myself into trouble because of my generosity.

"I'm just discussing the matter. Are you his spokesperson or something?"

Kyle said angrily, "I just can't stand the way you speak. I want you to apologize to Zion."

Due to the education in his original family, Kyle always had a kind of inexplicable heroism.

In the past, he had conflicts with other dormitory mates because of Zion.

But in reality, their relationship wasn't that good.

"Kyle, don't blame me for not reminding you. Zion hasn't said anything yet, and you're rushing me to apologize to him. Aren't you afraid of being used as a scapegoat?

"Also, since you dislike my words so much, why don't you help him? You're so capable, you can help him improve his resume and recommend him internally. After all, you've said that you're not short of money and you'll go back to your family's company after graduation. It's just right to arrange something for Zion."

I knew that although Kyle had the ability to help Zion, he definitely wouldn't help him.

Because Zion's abilities were clearly inferior.

Almost all of his projects were done by me.

When I said this, Kyle fell silent.

But Zion took it seriously.

He immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "Kyle, can you help me? Now, the only one who can help me in the dormitory is you. Don't worry, I don't need a high salary..."

Well, he had a good hope.

Even before anything had happened, he was already thinking about the salary.

Kyle's family's company was one of the Fortune 500, and the benefits were very good.

Top students from prestigious schools were eager to get in, and even the interview process had several rounds.

Even Kyle himself only had the qualification to enter because of his connections.

Our school was not even a prestigious one.

Zion would be eliminated in the initial screening process of resumes.

Seeing that Zion was bothering Kyle, I took the opportunity to leave the dormitory.
