I used to think an HR professional’s daily routine consisted of interviews, sending out job offers, and handling labor disputes.
Then one morning I woke up as an HR manager at the Heavenly Court’s Monster Relocation Center.
The applicants were no longer fresh graduates, but a bunch of monsters who had cultivated for a thousand years.
Red Boy said he was tired of scripture study and wanted a part-time job at a barbecue stall.
Jiuling Yuansheng said his former subordinates needed jobs.
The Green Ox Spirit moved the entire Tusita Palace because it “lacked support from leadership.”
Luckily, I hadn’t lost my professional skills: counseling, negotiating, and finding them placements. After one round of the process, the monsters were all completely cooperative.
Until that man showed up.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, set his golden cudgel down on my desk.
“I’m not here looking for a job. I’m here to find someone.”
He’d been searching for that person for six hundred years.
And that person seemed to be me.
