The Pretty Nobody Gets a Workplace Makeover

This is a story built around a tasteless pun.

Chen Xingyu is a post-2000s kid. After watching countless videos about post-2000s workers reforming the workplace, he is fired up and ready to fight the capitalists.

But reality is frustrating. After failing his graduate school entrance exams, he joins a company and meets the exceptionally handsome Zheng Chu. But...

...How can Zheng Chu, a graduate of an ordinary university, be in the same role as a top student from a 985 university like him, who is 189 cm tall?

Zheng Chu's qualifications must be padded!

He needs to thoroughly investigate those padded credentials!

Zheng Chu maliciously fuels workplace competition, never leaves on time, and uses Japanese-style servility with the bosses. He's an embarrassment to their generation!

Chen Xingyu is only a test-taking machine from the Magic City (make a note of that), so of course he can't outsmart Zheng Chu, who has eight hundred tricks up his sleeve.

The man who once vowed to reform the workplace was thoroughly reformed by it instead.

Chen Xingyu secretly swore to himself:

He had to give Zheng Chu a thorough workplace reforming!

So Chen Xingyu sued Zheng Chu.

Sure enough, Zheng Chu's qualifications were padded to a shocking degree (furious).

So Zheng Chu's workplace definitely needed regular reforms (serious).

Chen Xingyu, the top, x Zheng Chu, the bottom

A dumbass top x a scheming, hypercompetitive bottom

I like to put a twist in the ending, hehe.
