“Ding! BambooPay has received a transfer
[Top-tier star Shen Yan] sent you: 2,000 jin of premium fresh bamboo shoots (market value: about 100 million)
Memo: Please do Bucket Boss a favor and shoot a music video!
The day washed-up singer Su Yang took a new job at the zoo to pay off his massive debt, the panda he raised, Tongtong, became a sensation.
From then on, the rules of the entertainment industry changed:
Want to commission a song? Top up Bucket Boss’s BambooPay first. (Payment accepted in golden bamboo only!)
Need to repair your reputation? Become a zookeeper on "Cute Pet Interns". (Bucket Boss’s KPI: shovel 10 jin of poop a day!)
A rival spreads rumors that “Su Yang mistreats a national treasure”? Bucket Boss livestreams himself devouring 20 jin of bamboo shoots. #HumansMayStarveButBearsNeverWill!
Until a conspiracy unfolds...
“Frame a bear?”
“Bucket Boss, launch BambooPay’s ultimate punishment: make them go bankrupt and eat dirt!”
