Jiang Che, a corporate drone who has just been laid off, accidentally lands a job at Yunjiang Tech and binds himself to the “Slacking Off Sign-In System.” Simply signing in at work makes him stronger.
He plans to coast through life, but soon discovers that the company is full of hidden talents: the receptionist is heir to a family of intelligence specialists, the cleaner is a reclusive grandmaster, the programmer is a former cybersecurity expert from China’s national security service, the head of security is a retired special forces ace, and the boss never turns on his camera during video meetings.
On his first day, he receives a copy of the Employee Handbook. The first rule reads: “If you see anything strange, pretend you didn’t.” The previous office administrator left behind a half-dead pothos plant, with a note tucked under its pot: “Don’t investigate. Quit and leave.”
But Jiang Che has a sharp eye. The access card for the eighth floor, the secrets on the roof, the footsteps in the middle of the night… The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that he’s the one hiding the biggest secret in the building.
Then there’s Gu Wanqing, the beautiful director and a master of medicine. There’s unfinished business from three years ago in the way she looks at him. He’s forgotten, but she remembers.
Urban superpowers meets workplace wish fulfillment, with a lighthearted, witty tone. Slacking off and solving cases, all in one. Two chapters updated daily. Add it to your library!
