Who Can Stay Sane at Work? I Got Rich by Losing It

“It’s so hot, I’m actually going to die.” Lin Yuan, an overworked office drone with a third-tier college degree, tried to tough out the heat in her 40°C rental apartment to save a little on air-conditioning. In the end, her vision went black. She had literally died of heatstroke. When she opened her eyes again, she had somehow returned to the day before she died! Before she could process what was happening, a cold, mechanical voice rang in her ear: “Ding! Congratulations, Host, you’ve activated the Make a Scene and Get Rich System!” “Host’s resentment levels before death exceeded the limit. Your first mission has been triggered.” “Within 24 hours, make a scene in public and curse out your idiot boss! Reward: 100 million yuan in cash and a luxury home in the city center!” Lin Yuan: “???” Was this System serious? In her previous life, she had worked hard without complaint, stayed up late doing overtime, and watched colleagues with connections take credit for all her achievements. Her salary wasn’t even enough to cover the air-conditioning bill, and in the end, she died of heatstroke. This time around... To hell with workplace gaslighting! She was going to make a scene! So... Her boss tried to pin the blame on her? She threw her files down in the conference room. “Whoever wants to work overtime can do it! I quit!” (Reward received: 50 million yuan!) A coworker sneered at her for having a low-level degree? She fired off an email to the whole company. “So what if I went to a third-tier college? Your daddy here has nine figures in the bank!” (Reward: luxury yacht!) Her former company spread rumors about her character? She bought the entire office building on livestream. “Now, who stays and who gets out is up to me!” Later, the financial headlines exploded: “Former Office Drone Lin Yuan Becomes the Youngest Billionaire?!” “Company Executives All Lose Their Jobs After Crossing the ‘Queen of Making Scenes’” Sipping chilled champagne, Lin Yuan smiled faintly. “Making a scene is great. It makes you rich.”
