This is an exploitative hell where working 996 is considered a blessing, 007 is the norm, and even dying from overwork requires waiting in line.
Li Shiyun, an office drone, wakes up to find that he has transmigrated into this twisted parallel world and become the owner of a struggling tech company on the verge of bankruptcy.
His employees are either bootlicking drama queens, workaholics who mercilessly exploit newcomers, or old hands who are experts at passing the buck.
Just as he is about to sell the company and run
“Ding! Host’s intense resentment at not being able to leave work on time detected. The ‘Workplace Reform System’ has officially activated!”
“Reject meaningless overtime and receive one million in company working capital!”
“Call out your manipulative boss and receive a luxury property in the city center!”
“Lead the team in slacking off at work and receive a set of plans for black-tech chip technology!”
Li Shiyun is stunned. This kind of good fortune is real?
From then on, a boss with a completely different style appears in this exploitative hell.
Competitor: “Our employees are fiercely competitive. They sleep just four hours a day!”
Li Shiyun: “Oh, it’s afternoon tea time at our company. Everyone’s off to watch a movie.”
Industry bigwig: “Young people should know how to give back. Talking about money is vulgar!”
Li Shiyun: “Exactly! Here, the project bonuses are tripled this month, and we’re paying half the annual bonus in advance!”
Everyone thinks the company has gone crazy and is waiting for it to go under.
But then...
The workaholics he fired beg and plead to come back.
The laid-back employees he spoiled become super-geniuses who amaze the entire industry.
Facing a crowd of business tycoons who have come to seek his advice, Li Shiyun shrugs with an innocent look:
“Don’t ask me. At first... I really just wanted to leave work on time.”
