I Start a Company and Give Cash Rebates: The Happier My Overworked Employees Are, the More I Earn

Qi Yue berates his PUA boss and binds to the Workplace Haven Care Rebate System that very same day.

Every yuan he spends on employees is fully reimbursed by the System at a one-to-one rate, provided their physical and mental health scores meet the required standards.

To milk the System dry, Qi Yue lays down strict rules: pay 1.5 times the industry's top rate, work from ten to four, no overtime, and free afternoon tea, a gym, and a Michelin-starred cafeteria. Anyone who stays a second longer gets their pay docked.

He planned to sit back and pocket the difference, but then an artist who had been worked to the bone created a game that took the internet by storm; an architect laid off at thirty-one sneaked back into the office at two in the morning to fix bugs; and when his former boss showed up to threaten him, his employees stood up and left the man speechless.

Watching the rebates in his account grow and his company expand by the day, Qi Yue is stunned:

I just wanted to spend some money. How did you turn the company into an industry giant?
