In the past, the female white-collar worker had to drink a cup of coffee every morning to stay alive before going to work. Now, let alone coffee, she dare not even drink a sip of barley tea.

Even so, she still didn't feel sleepy, couldn't even yawn, and was even more energetic at night than during the day.

She tried hypnotic music, sleep-aiding live broadcasts, counting sheep... She tried every method she could think of, but none of them worked.

The female white-collar worker thought she was sick and went to all the famous hospitals, but every doctor said she was normal, without exception.

Even the psychiatrist couldn't see anything wrong with her. Now doctors call her every day, trying to figure out the cause of her illness, which makes her very annoyed.

Shen Yijin looked at the female white-collar worker's face with a strange expression: "Have you been very efficient at work recently? Did you get a promotion?"

The female office worker nodded vigorously. "Yes, I couldn't sleep, so I got up and worked, and I completed a lot of work beyond my quota. I got promoted because of this, and my boss even gave me a commendation and a bonus."

"Host, since you have calculated this, you must be able to calculate the cause of my illness as well! Please tell me quickly, I really want to have a good sleep." The female white-collar worker burst into tears as she spoke. The promotion and salary increase did not make her happy. The long-term insomnia made her temper worse and her life rhythm was completely disrupted.

Who wants to work 24 hours a day? Even sleeping time is used for work. Which worker can stand it?

Isn't it wonderful to not need to sleep and not feel sick? Why doesn't this happen to me? I can work during the day and play games all night long without feeling sleepy and still be healthy. This is the life I've always dreamed of!

It's so strange. I always feel like 24 hours in a day isn't enough. I have to sleep after work, even without a few minutes of rest, or I won't have the energy to work the next day. Now I have eight more hours to do what I want, so why are some people still unhappy?

"I don't understand. Why do you have to work so much overtime and be like a slave for the company when you can do anything else for so long? What benefits did the company give you that you would work so hard for it?"

[This is terrifying, a worker being manipulated like this by their boss... Oh, I'm not going to end up like this, am I? It's terrifying just thinking about it!]

The female white-collar worker frowned as she looked at the barrage of comments and sighed helplessly.

"I don't want to work overtime, but late at night, when so many people are asleep, I can't even get enough people to play online games, and it's easy to see a bunch of weird people. Single-player games are boring, and I don't want to play them either. Plus, it's so quiet everywhere at night, and if you make the slightest noise, you'll easily be reported for disturbing the public. There's nothing I can do about it; working is the quietest place."

If possible, who would want to work 24 hours a day? Even if you earn a lot of money, it will be a waste if you can't enjoy it.

And there is no overtime pay for overtime. It’s okay to work overtime if you have to, but there is no need to spend your sleeping time working.

Chen Yijin tapped her fingers on the table slowly: "Have you never doubted the company?"

The female office worker was confused. "You mean the company made me do this? But I'm not the best person in the company. I can't create as much value as others. If it was really the company that did it, why did they target me? Besides, I've been observing the company these days, and there's nothing wrong with it."

At first, the female white-collar worker also suspected the company, but she did not find any evidence that anyone had drugged her in the company, and since she was not the best candidate, she finally dispelled her doubts.

She is a mediocre person in the company. She can neither climb to the top of the company with an annual salary of one million, nor will she be fired by the company's last-in-first-out system.

The female white-collar worker is quite satisfied with her current life and has no plans to change jobs.

But if her insomnia is really related to the company, then she must consider changing shifts.

If she doesn't run away from a company that exploits its employees like this, she will be in trouble for the rest of her life.

The host's speculation seems to make sense. The ultimate beneficiary of the female office worker's insomnia is the company. Perhaps it was the company that caused this.

[The company requires background checks when recruiting. Perhaps they knew the female office worker's family situation and guessed that she couldn't sleep and had to work, so they chose her?]

But the female office worker is right. With so many employees in the company, if they're just trying to maximize profits, they could easily force the more valuable employees to work tirelessly for the company. Big companies have no shortage of people, so I imagine those high-level workers would be more willing to give up their rest time to work overtime.

[That's hard to say. High-level cattle and horses are often difficult to control. If you really want to scheme, you'd have to use the middle and lower-level cattle and horses, especially the cheap labor force, which is very easy to use.]

The female white-collar worker looked at the barrage and felt like she was stabbed by a sword.

She is the easy-to-control ox and horse. She is too honest and is always forced to accept extra work. She dare not say no to her boss.

Big companies are never short of people, and she was afraid that if she said no today, she would be laid off tomorrow.

It really is completely under his control.

"So, is it really the company's doing?" After hearing what netizens said, the female white-collar worker was uncertain. According to the netizens' logic, the company was highly suspected.

Chen Yijin hummed, dragging out the last syllable. "It has something to do with the company, but it's not accurate. The one who kept you agitated and unable to sleep all day was your former direct supervisor."

"Huh?" The female office worker didn't understand. "No, what's he trying to achieve? I couldn't sleep and worked all night, and now I've been promoted to his boss. What good does this do for her?"

The female white-collar worker could never imagine that the person who kept her awake all night was her former boss.

She had never suspected anyone, including other colleagues in the group, cleaners, or even security guards, but she had never suspected her former leader.

Is the former leader so kind as to help his subordinates climb over him in one fell swoop?

And what method did he use to make her mentally excited while keeping her body healthy, and even hide it from the hospital?

Chen Yijin smiled meaningfully: "There are many benefits! Don't you know what kind of personality the former leader has? He only cares about himself and doesn't consider others."

The female white-collar worker thought about it and realized that her former boss was the type of person who would not do anything without a profit. It must be good for him to let her get promoted, otherwise he would not do it.

"What are the benefits? I really can't think of it." The female white-collar worker racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't think of what benefits her promotion would bring to her former boss.

Although she often cursed her former boss behind his back before she was promoted, she did not retaliate after the promotion, and they had no private contact except for work matters.

I also handled my work impartially and never used any backdoors for my former boss.

Chen Yijin: "The time is not yet ripe. That old fox is waiting for you to take the blame for him!"

Prevent disaster?

The female office worker's eyes widened. This word sounded very wrong.

She hurriedly asked, "Host, can you tell me more details? Will my life be in danger?"
