    (=ﾟДﾟ=) @Everyone, if I gave you five million to live in another world, would you be willing? Mu Mian, a college graduate of just half a month, couldn't find a satisfactory job even though she didn't attend a good school or study a less-than-ideal major. In this era where college graduates are everywhere, finding a good job is harder than climbing to heaven if you don't have outstanding advantages. Either the salary is pitifully low, the working hours are terrifyingly long, or you're treated like a machine. And she, unwilling to compromise, searched for half a month without finding a suitable job. Today, she got up early again to look for work, and unsurprisingly, she returned empty-handed. "Sigh, if I can't find a job soon, I'll really have to start my own business and become a boss." Dragging her tired body, she slowly opened the door and collapsed onto the bed. Lying flat is so comfortable, but circumstances didn't allow her to do so.
