Jiaqi is a portrayal of an ordinary worker. She is not an elite in the workplace. She will make a joke by admitting the wrong fabric, but she can cope with the outrageous demands of customers and tear down the "big pie" of her boss. The heartbeats are very simple - the iced lemon tea from my colleague, the side face of him who stayed up late to change the picture, and the hand being held at the beach on Chinese Valentine's Day.
There are no shocking plots in the book, only workplace fireworks: the hustle and bustle of the factory, office snack wars, battles of wits with leaders, and the ambiguous excitement of overtime nights and team building. Like the summer in Zhuhai, there are chirping cicadas, sea breeze, thunderstorms and sunset. Ordinary things hide surprises.
If you are a migrant worker in a big city and have experienced small embarrassments and small blessings in the workplace, looking forward to the unintentional heartbeat, you may be able to see yourself when you open the book and recall the shining little joys in your daily life.
