We’re all just cogs in the machine. We’ve seen far too many companies and factories breaking the law, but we’re powerless to do anything about it. Maybe finding comfort in a novel is all we can do:
The character names, company names, and story in this novel are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.
Insulted and told to get lost from the start, I turn around and clean up a crooked factory
In a workshop baking under 40-degree heat, even the air from the fans is scorching.
I ask the boss for a high-temperature allowance, but he smacks the application out of my hand. “If you don’t want to work, get lost!”
A mechanical voice suddenly rings out as the System activates: “Severe labor rights violations detected. The Ultimate Labor Law System has been successfully bound.”
That afternoon, inspection teams from the labor bureau, a special investigation group from the tax bureau, and court enforcement officers all storm the factory.
The boss slumps in his leather chair as notifications from every department flood his phone.
I smile as I hold up the compensation agreement generated by the System. “All your factory’s assets have been frozen.”
“Under Article 85 of the Longguo Labor Law, you’re about to go bankrupt.”
The next day, the city’s bosses are in an uproar. “That assembly-line worker, Lin Qing, can really call in the big guns!”
Yes, the writing is very true.
