Did the Company That Withheld My Year-End Bonus Collapse?

share time: 2025-12-14 00:35:06

Lin Xiaoman, a three-year office drone who’s always first in and last out, has her entire year-end bonus stripped by her unscrupulous boss over "three late arrivals". Drunk one night, her phone pops up with the "Anti-Exploitation System"—complete tasks like "help the receptionist get overtime pay" or "record the boss saying 'tear toilet paper into halves'", and the company will "collapse step by step". But during a mission, she runs into Jiang Shiyan, her elementary school first love—the boy who gave her his last fruit candy, now the company’s newly arrived mysterious shareholder! Between the system’s cringy task of making her read the "boss’s stingy quotes" at the morning meeting, and Jiang Shiyan’s gentle habit of handing her hot cocoa when she’s embarrassed, Lin Xiaoman discovers: the boss’s "stinginess" is a cover—he’s embezzling funds—and Jiang Shiyan’s "arrival" was a counterattack setup he planted for her three years ago.
