After dying of overwork, state-owned enterprise employee Li Feng is reborn on his first day at the company. On the surface, the company seems perfectly ordinary, but in reality, it's a secret organization that contains "anomalies." In his previous life, his boss Wang Hao worked him to death through psychological manipulation. This time, Li Feng decides to give up and do the bare minimum. When Wang Hao dumps an urgent "containment task" on him, Li Feng refuses to pull an all-nighter and instead follows the company's most tedious and antiquated regulations to the letter. Every way he slacks off, such as requesting sealed materials from the deepest part of the warehouse to buy time, or rigidly following the old rule "isolate first, report later" so he can leave on time, is interpreted by Wang Hao as a profound political maneuver. Wang Hao imagines Li Feng has powerful connections and is using the task to put him in his place. But neither of them knows that the "old rules" Li Feng follows by chance are precisely the most effective sealing ritual against the "return of the anomalies." So when everyone thinks the apocalypse has arrived, the ward around Li Feng's desk is impregnable, and he himself is sitting back with headphones on, casually watching videos.
