In a modern company, Miss Li worked diligently in the marketing department. However, she was often overly cautious and hesitant when it came to important projects or decisions. Her colleagues often referred to her as “the little foot woman,” comparing her to the traditional women in ancient China who had bound feet and were thus physically limited.

Despite her hesitation, Miss Li finally overcame her fears and bravely proposed an innovative plan for a crucial marketing campaign. The plan was a great success, bringing significant profits to the company.
