The children urged them to hurry up, and Jiang Tong laughed uncontrollably: "Let's see if you dare to dawdle again." Every day, there's more gossip than anything else.

Thankfully, we arrived at the kindergarten on time, and the three children skipped and hopped inside.

Jiang Tong watched them go inside before turning around and going to work.

She arrived at the company quite early, clocked in on time, and then sat down at her workstation.

My colleague at the next workstation didn't even go home last night because he was rushing to finish his manuscript; he has very dark circles under his eyes.

Jiang Tong asked, "Pelicans, you didn't go home again last night? Wouldn't it be better to draw at home at night? If you're tired, you can sleep in your own bed at home, which is better than the small bed at the company."

Their company likes to use nicknames. Pelican's ID is "醍醐灌顶" (a Chinese idiom meaning "enlightenment"), so everyone likes to call her Pelican because she looks a bit like a pelican.

Pelicans burst into tears upon hearing Jiang Tong's voice, "Ah, help! I don't want to either, but I'll procrastinate when I get back, and that will be the end of me. It's better to draw at the company. I know my limits and I have to work overtime to finish it, sob sob. If I don't submit this comic strip on time, my boss will kill me, sob sob sob."

After hearing this, Jiang Tong silently mourned for her for a second. Although she also had procrastination issues, it wasn't nearly as severe as hers. "Well, you, you keep it up."

The pelican whimpered and drifted to the break room like a wrinkled, soulless dried plum, made itself a super strong cup of black coffee, and then swayed back.

Jiang Tong was really afraid that she would float away, but luckily she persevered to the end, and then wailed, "I really have no more drops left. Creating has drained my mental energy. Ugh, I'm about to kick the bucket."

Just then, the others started arriving one after another. Seeing her pathetic state, they began to mock her, "Just keep dragging it out! You're all high and mighty at the beginning of the month, and by the end, you'll be dead. You'll be like this every month, and you'll dare to do it again next time! You deserve it!"

The Pelicans were completely dejected, unable to refute, utterly exhausted, and now they were just babbling on and on.

Finally, I packed up my things and went home to catch up on some sleep.

Although their studio requires employees to be in the office at fixed times, the management is actually relatively easy.

The eldest brother also likes to turn a blind eye, because he himself is the same kind of scoundrel.

Jiang Tong couldn't help but smile; in fact, she quite liked this kind of work atmosphere.
