The Emperor at a Tech Giant

Emperor Jiajing woke up to find himself a P6 programmer at a major internet company. No jade pendant, no guards, just product requirements, OKRs, and KPIs. But Chen Xu soon realized that this office building was even more like a forbidden palace than the Forbidden City. The KTV was the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the PMO was the Grand Secretariat, and every promotion review was a bloodless coup. And the skills he had been best at in his previous life, reading people's minds, balancing factions, and using someone else's hand to draw his own blade, were all just as useful here. When a distributor owing the company six billion refused to pay, he said, "Don't chase the man. Cut off the money." When someone tried to pin 3.8 billion in historical points on the users, he said, "Whoever wrote the IOU can pay it back themselves." The boss's trusted aide, his rival's pawn, and the mole lurking in the shadows were all playing their own games. Then one day, his opponents began using an emperor's tactics against the emperor. Only then did they realize this P6 had an extraordinary past.
