As she spoke, she was like an orator on stage, with words pouring out like an endless river.

But when she started to drink water after speaking, she felt so embarrassed that she almost wished she could dig a hole for herself to escape through.

She had been somewhat socially anxious since childhood and was also unlucky, with a naturally large frame. As a child, her height earned her a spot on the volleyball team, only to be kicked off due to her cluelessness.

Not skilled at dressing up and always a step slow with her reactions, she only got into the literature college after taking the college entrance examination twice. After graduating, she was often scolded by the head planner and called “useless” and “trash.”

The only highlight of her life was the second place in “Letter” before this, which, although not an official award, gave her the courage to apply for a job at the studio she admired.

But, she had messed it all up!

She intended to sit and rest for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep and woke up in a strange room.

After coming out, she even publicly demonstrated how to fall flat on the ground, now she was almost too ashamed to face anyone.

Just now she had gone on and on for more than ten minutes about her own game. During the interview, she had hit every possible pitfall, and she thought her impression on the interviewer must have hit rock bottom.

Then, she saw Fang Cheng hand her the resume and he said, “When can you start?”

“Thank you boss, may the boss prosper, goodbye boss.”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

After watching Lin Nan for a while, Fang Cheng said with regret, “You don’t want to come? Well, that’s okay then…”

“Boss, I misspoke, I actually really want the job. A salary of four thousand is enough, I’m easy to manage.”

“Our studio doesn’t offer such low salaries.”

“I’ll manage!”

“You won’t. Xu Qingling, please explain our studio’s system to Miss Lin.”

As Xu Qingling explained the studio’s policies and regulations, Lin Nan’s mouth never closed.

Especially after hearing that the starting salary was thirty-six thousand, she was completely dumbfounded.

She trembled as she looked at Xu Qingling and couldn’t resist asking, “Really? This isn’t a scam, and you’re not going to send me to some small southeastern country six months later?”

“Your reaction is so familiar. Wait, there’s something wrong with this salary.”

“I knew it.”

Just as Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Xu Qingling call out, “Boss, it seems we forgot to adjust the salary.”

“Oh, then let’s increase it a bit,” Fang Cheng replied.

“50% okay?”

“That’s fine.”

After an efficient communication, Xu Qingling announced in the group chat, then with a smile said to Lin Nan, “Now it’s fifty-four thousand, after-tax, and the year-end bonus at the end of the year is no less than half a year’s salary. There’s also project profit-sharing and other bonuses. Take a look, this is the contract. If you have no objections, go ahead and sign it.”

Lin Nan took the contract, not clearly reading a single character on it, her mind was filled with the fifty-four thousand monthly salary.

With this money, wasn’t she going to get struck by lightning?

About to sign her name with trembling hands, she declared she could start work tomorrow, then wobbled as she prepared to leave.

Before she left, however, she saw Fang Cheng check his watch and then announce, “We have a new employee, it’s a good time for some team building. Everyone, finish up what you’re doing and get ready to go.”

A wailing filled the studio; Monkey was reluctant to get up, but seeing Sanmiao approaching his power supply, he quickly saved his document and got ready to leave.

Lin Nan hadn’t yet reacted when she was pulled into the buffet restaurant in the mall next door and ate a buffet she never dared to try before.

After eating, she expected everyone would go back to work, but Fang Cheng declared the day over, and the group said goodbye and naturally went their separate ways, leaving her standing there, dumbstruck.

It was three in the afternoon, the sky was still bright, and unexpectedly clear, with white clouds drifting above.

She feared this might be some kind of test, but after returning to the studio and finding it really was empty, she confirmed it was true.

A gaming company that didn’t go back to work overtime after team building indeed existed!

She sat downstairs for a while, originally planning to take the bus home, but suddenly she didn’t want to anymore.

The spring breeze was still a bit cold, yet she felt incredibly warm. Whether it was from getting enough sleep or some other reason, her spirits were high, and her mood surprisingly buoyant.

She bought a bottle of liquor from a convenience store by the roadside and walked while drinking, gradually getting a little tipsy.

The journey home was a bit long, but she didn’t care anymore.

Gazing at the horizon, she felt like she was the wind, the clouds, the sunshine, the sea, the indestructible bronze peas, the impurities that couldn’t be cleared away.

She didn’t know how long she had walked, only seeing the surroundings gradually darken.

The streetlights began to light up, and the noise around her grew louder. The boisterous chatter from the roadside hotpot restaurants mingled with the scent of the food hit her, reminding her that she was still in the world of the living.

At that moment, her phone rang.

The call labeled “Head Planner” vibrated like a death knell.

In the past, Lin Nan would shudder at the sight of the caller.

But today, she felt nothing at all, only calm.

Even though the speakerphone wasn’t on, the roaring from the other end was deafening, startling a passerby.

“You useless piece of trash, where did you go!”

Frowning, Lin Nan calmly said, “I’ve taken a leave of absence.”

“Did I approve it! Get back here, we’re releasing a patch tomorrow!”

“I’ve taken a leave of absence.”

“What do you mean ‘you’? When I tell you to come back, you roll back here! Everyone is waiting for you, do you have any conscience!”

“I’ve taken a leave of absence.”

“Did I approve it! Are you sick today! Is that the only thing you can say?”

“…Head Planner, when can I sign the contract?”

“You want to sign a contract? Dream on!”

“Since I haven’t signed a contract, then I’m no longer an employee of Wolong, So you’d better be polite! You stinking, bloated pig!”

“You!”

“Stop with the ‘you, you, you’! I have a name! I quit! Just throw away my things; there’s nothing of value anyway.”

“…What?”

The other end tried to suppress Lin Nan as usual, but her resolute tone made the Head Planner uneasy, and the voice softened.

“Lin Nan, I know my attitude just now wasn’t very good, but you know I mean well…”

“Shut up, fat pig!”

“You… okay, okay, I apologize for what happened before, but you can’t just walk away like this. You’re in charge of the copywriting, systems, UI, and code, and the game is going live tomorrow, it’s about to make money. If you leave now, isn’t it all for nothing?”

“So, that’s why you pay me six thousand a month? Even the new grads earn more! I may be easy-going, but I’m not stupid, okay! Does being honest mean I deserve to be bullied?”

After taking a swig of alcohol, Lin Nan exhaled deeply and said fiercely, “Screw it, I quit! Consider the last ten days of my salary as your coffin fund; find yourself a place to be buried!”

Having said that, Lin Nan hung up the phone with a vengeance, then blocked the number, feeling utterly exhilarated.

She should have done this a long time ago!

The next day, Wolong announced that the release of a much-awaited web game was delayed because the Head Planner could not contact a key person in charge. The game was halted for this bizarre reason and eventually fizzled out.

But Lin Nan didn’t care anymore.

That morning, for the first time, she woke up before the alarm clock went off, washed up full of anticipation, and got ready for work, then received a call from Xu Qingling.

Hearing the ringtone, Lin Nan nervously picked up the phone and whispered, “Qingling, what’s up? Is there a problem with my contract? I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

“Don’t apologize for everything… it’s like this, I forgot to tell you yesterday, we’re off for today and tomorrow after the team-building, and then it’s the weekend, so just come to the studio next Monday. Also, do you live far away? Are you planning to move closer to the company or planning to buy a car?”

Lin Nan paused for a moment, then said softly, “I don’t have a driver’s license.”

“Would you like to take paid leave and then get your driver’s license?”

“…No need, I’ll learn over the weekend.”

“Okay, I’ll note it down for you, and the studio will cover the driving school fees, and count it as overtime, too. All right, see you next Monday.”

After hanging up, Lin Nan pinched her face hard.

It hurt.

Her boss couldn’t possibly be in charity work, could she?
