[Journey to the West] + [the bureaucracy] + [workplace] + [fan fiction] + [Wukong] + [wild imagination]
After returning from his pilgrimage, Sun Wukong is forced to join Heaven’s bureaucracy and becomes deputy director of the Department of Government Affairs.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, accustomed to freedom, is deeply uncomfortable with mountains of paperwork, endless meetings, empty formalities, and bureaucratic red tape.
His twelve seasoned clerks all slack off together. Wukong uses the Seventy-Two Transformations to get through meetings, sees through fake reports with his Fiery Golden Eyes, and turns his Golden Cudgel into an official seal to handle paperwork, causing no end of mishaps.
He has to deal with the Queen Mother of the West’s spur-of-the-moment “public outreach events” while investigating the Giant Spirit God’s corruption case, yet is constantly tied down by “the rules,” “stability,” and “the greater good.”
In Heaven’s workplace, where even immortals are ranked by seniority and connections matter more than ability, Wukong begins his unconventional journey to the top.
See how Wukong forges his own path in an alternative “Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s Guide to Getting Promoted.”
