After transmigrating into a book, Mai Meng becomes the owner of a struggling commercial street.
There’s plenty of money in the account, but not enough employees?
She posts a job ad, but nobody responds.
The first applicant to show up turns out to be a cute calico cat.
Mai Meng: Wait, is it legal for fluffy little creatures to work in this world?
The cat nods. “Of course! Just like humans, we even get five social insurances and a housing fund!”
It immediately follows up with all kinds of demands for employee benefits!
Mai Meng: ???
Good grief, even little cats can get jobs now!
Before long, a shop run by cats opens its doors.
Business is surprisingly good, too.
The cat receives its first paycheck and is so happy its tail stands straight up. It squints at Mai Meng and says:
“Meow, meow, meow! I can earn my own food money now!”
Before long, word spreads through H City's animal community:
“Stray and unemployed fluffballs, hurry to Happiness Street to find work!
The boss is nice, the work is easy, and you even get five social insurances and a housing fund!
And most importantly
The work environment is fantastic. Nobody will bother you while you're on the job!”
The once-quiet Happiness Street gradually grows lively.
The shops and staff increase by the day.
Mai Meng hires human employees to look after her busy fluffy workers.
At an interview, Mai Meng says sternly:
“The first rule of working here is that you must not harass your coworkers!
That includes petting them without permission, staring at them, forcing them to act cute, making lovestruck faces, suddenly putting on a cutesy voice, and so on.”
The handsome young man nods, then suddenly blushes and asks:
“Then... does adding the boss on WeChat and chatting count?”
