[After recovering from an illness, I started disliking the ideas in the draft, so I'm almost completely rewriting it with major revisions.]

Taking her first step into the working world, Ranran plunged headfirst into a trap set by Shi Heng, a client who was all talk and no action.
Back when she first started the job, she had been thrilled. Shi Heng had seemed dazzling. Now, she just wanted to leap up and kick him.
Even worse, he was incredibly narcissistic and spent every day making grand promises to her without a hint of shame.
With no hope of becoming a permanent employee and the company teetering on the brink of collapse,
Ranran thought it over and finally got to be brave for once!
The gaming industry is full of competing factions, and the internet is booming. If there's no place for me here, there's bound to be one somewhere else!
That was Ranran's state of mind when she decided to make a quick getaway.
But why had no one told her that the boss at her new company would be that same pest who just wouldn't leave her alone?
A new question just dropped on a famous office-worker app.
Q: What should I do if I realize on my first day at work that I've hit my boss?
Shi Heng had been in a relationship once.
Back then, he'd naively believed that he and his partner were in love with each other.
He never expected them to run away the day before he planned to confess.
A disgrace, to put it mildly.
Time passed, and the company hired a newly crowned champion of a major gaming competition.
Through the glass window, Shi Heng sneered.
What goes around comes around. How did this little thing end up in my hands again?
A new question just dropped on a famous office-worker app.
Q: My ex-girlfriend works at my company. How do I get even and make her stay?
