A gentleman would not leave this grudge unavenged.

The purpose of citing examples of outstanding companies is to prove to Wu Zhengyang that in this world, and in Zhongxia, there are jobs that guarantee employees' rest and welfare benefits.

Wu Zhengyang stubbornly insisted: This is something only a few companies can do, and such situations are rare in a few industries.

If every industry in the world were like this, then I have nothing to say.

The problem is that it's impossible to do.

This is a specificity rather than a universality.

"Zhixing Games, an internet game company, is known in the industry for its terrifying overtime work, especially during the game development and maintenance phases, where the programming team is almost on call 24 hours a day."

"How come other companies can do it but you can't? Saying it's special rather than universal is just an excuse to exploit your employees."

Wu Zhengyang remained stubbornly defiant.

The popularity was artificially boosted.

This naturally attracted more loyal viewers of "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People" to participate in the discussion.

The main problem is that I really hate this kind of lecturing, condescending attitude, and the fact that they refuse to admit their mistakes. The more they refuse to admit their mistakes, the more I want to hold them accountable.

You get all the benefits and still claim you're right. How can that not make people furious?

Originally, the art style was very consistent and presented to the public.

Starting from Wu Zhengyang's remarks, a logical rebuttal is made to the direct personal attacks that trace back 18 generations to Wu Zhengyang, his parents, and relatives.

It gradually veered from the concrete to the abstract.

In short, Wu Zhengyang simply doesn't believe that there is any such thing as a perfect separation between work and life in this world, or in Zhongxia.

If you insist on arguing with him, he'll say it's a special case.

The final interpretation rests with the trolls.

Some netizens might have felt that arguing was pointless and that it would be more satisfying to go offline and beat up the capitalists, so they went off to find other entertainment.

For example, a list of outstanding companies.

For example... the Zhi Xing game.

Some eagle-eyed people have spotted a strange and dreamlike collaboration... This internal photo of the company looks a bit familiar, hasn't it appeared somewhere before?

"The Survival Diary of Contemporary Migrant Workers"?

That's true.

The changes were quite significant; there were more people in the office area, and many internal facilities were adjusted due to the personnel changes.

That's why people didn't recognize him at first glance.

The netizen who was about to be remembered by Jiang Chuan immediately posted a Weibo message with great joy: "Goodness, I've finally found that human-friendly company!"

"It's the Zhixing Game!"

The accompanying images share commonalities with both program screenshots and internal company photos.

What kind of deep impression did Zhixing Games leave on the audience during the "Survival Diary of Contemporary Migrant Workers" program?

When you mention it, you immediately think of this guest who has been absent for a long time.

That wasn't a guest; looking back from the current point in time...

"That explains why we stopped seeing Zhi Xing Games in later episodes. Everyone, take a moment to recall and check the timeline. The last episode featuring Zhi Xing Games aired right around the time 'The Way of the Corporate Slave' was released!"

"No wonder he can create such a game that reflects the voices of workers so widely. I'm so happy I could cry! It turns out we were destined to meet so early on, waaaaaah."

"Wow, I was skeptical at the time. I even doubted whether the company actually existed or if it was just a publicity stunt by the show's producers. I never expected it to actually exist, and now it has already established a certain position in the gaming industry in just over six months."

etc? !

Isn't this a real-world example that perfectly refutes Wu Zhengyang's claims?

Netizens genuinely believe that working at Zhixing Games separates work and life, based on Zhixing Games' performance on the show and their consistent style.

Now they probably understand why "The Way of the Corporate Slave" was criticized so harshly back then, and why the game's official team remained completely silent, letting the critics rant and rave.

Because it was the weekend...

They're on their weekend.

Version updates, version maintenance, game release dates, and so on, are all completed within working days.

Game developers all know that it's best to release a game during holidays, as there's a lot of traffic and it's easy for the game to take off. Even if it doesn't take off, there's still a minimum level of buzz, preventing the entire game from flopping.

Or, if a bug is discovered by players during the initial normal operation of the game, it is usually fixed immediately after feedback, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the players.

The concept of "knowing and doing" is the complete opposite.

Aside from the fact that the game is released on weekdays as mentioned earlier, players will generally not encounter any bugs in the early stages of the game, and the version they play will already be a very stable version.

Meanwhile, some netizens who actually work at Zhixing Games, or have friends who work at Zhixing Games, confirmed the speculations of most netizens regarding Zhixing Games.

"I'm here to state that all the benefits and perks you see are real, including playing games to gather inspiration before a game project is launched. They are all real."

"It's true that employees are absolutely not allowed to work overtime. Even leaving a few minutes late will result in a public reprimand. This is because it means you don't plan your time well, and your supervisor, the one who assigned you the task, will also be reprimanded. And unlike some companies where the reprimand is used to make money, here it's just a verbal reprimand."

"After get off work, you can completely ignore all work-related matters without any qualms. At Zhixing Games, the management usually won't disturb employees' normal lives after get off work."

"Who knows? Who's actually so happy at work? I always thought my friend who seemed so happy at work was a scab, but it turns out he works at Zhixing Games! Their team-building photos are like art portraits. How many small and medium-sized enterprises can afford such a generous team-building event?"

“My friend also works at Zhixing Games, and they actually have ‘bridge leave’! They often get several days off in a row. It’s so enviable! Don’t you guys know that bridge leave is illegal in Taiwan?! I was wondering where all my holidays went, and it turns out my good buddy took them for me.”

The news about Zhixing Games' internal employee benefits and company rules and regulations is getting more and more outrageous.

"My eyes are watering, they're about to well up with tears."

"I was wondering why I didn't see this company again after the show. Turns out the director was worried I'd get jealous. That's so thoughtful. Keep it up next time."

"Holy crap? The Easter egg is actually real??? I thought they were just embellishing their own PowerPoint presentations."

Players who were previously exploring the newly discovered Easter eggs in "The Road to Becoming a Corporate Slave" were also drawn to this area.

So the Easter egg wasn't an exaggeration at all?

The public information system can only show a portion of the publicly available work information. The fact that a staff member from Zhixing Games finally spoke out, along with a detailed description and pictures, confirms the authenticity of the Easter egg.

These Weibo posts were all pushed to the top of the trending list.

Without exception, many of the comments under these Weibo posts were also tagging Wu Zhengyang and mocking his corpse.

After all, the whole thing started because of Wu Zhengyang.

"Look at this, look at this. Some companies follow the strict 8-hour workday and don't disturb their employees' normal lives at all. Aren't they still doing very well? If you can't do that, then you exploit your employees to make the company grow. That's a dereliction of duty on your part as a boss."

Netizens have successfully turned the tables on the trolls!

Wu Zhengyang was truly speechless. How could there be traitors within his own class?

You treat your employees so well, yet you only schedule six-hour workdays. Aren't you afraid of bankrupting your company? You know, people are naturally lazy.

If you don't rely on systems, performance bonuses, company atmosphere, and corporate culture to forcibly motivate employees, they will most likely become complacent and unmotivated.

Being a salted fish in the market is tantamount to waiting to die.

Wu Zhengyang was still thinking that this company was destined not to last long when netizens started replying to him as if they were on the same wavelength.

"Please, why would anyone worry that Zhixing Games might go bankrupt because its employees are slacking off?"

"First of all, it has a truly outstanding lead game producer; not just anyone can create a blockbuster game. Secondly, if such a company really existed, I would be willing to dedicate my entire being to it, okay? Working at such a company shouldn't be called 'work,' but rather 'honorable labor'!"

"Finally, if a company really goes bankrupt because its employees are slacking off, shouldn't the boss reflect on their own actions?"

Many more people agreed, and Wu Zhengyang's name was still being frantically circled.

"I'm suddenly a little curious, which city is Zhixing Games located in? Is it really not in Europe or America?"

"You're right. In the capital of the 'King of Scrolls'—S City, isn't the atmosphere quite out of place?"

"I'm dying of laughter, Zhixing Games, you're not a good hero that doesn't fit the regional matchmaking system, right? That's ridiculous."

This was an unexpected and shocking revelation.

Jiang Chuan was working diligently when the Earl saw this ominous sign online and held up his tablet to tell him this devastating news.

What they're lifting isn't a flat surface, but rather Jiangchuan's peaceful and structured future life...

"This... seems to be the thing you've been worried about all along has happened."

As the count spoke, he thought to himself, "I really shouldn't make a wish while looking at the sunset, even if Jiang Chuan is human, even if Jiang Chuan has magical talent that makes people afraid."

Jiang Chuan had only glanced at it casually to dismiss the count, but that one glance fixed his gaze on the tablet.

No...no...what is this thing??

He even doubted his own eyes. Wasn't the internet supposed to have no memory? How come this program from months ago is being brought up again for discussion?

It's trending on social media like crazy.

What about "companies that do not conform to the regional matching mechanism", what about "human-friendly companies", what about "team building photos that look like portraits", what about "the existence of Zhixing Games is Project Hope"?

Every word is precious, as if written in tears.

Jiang Chuan found it hard to comment. Is it really okay for you to praise it so much?

Who exposed the identity?

And just at this perfect moment... at such a critical juncture... his identity was exposed?

Their duet, accompanied by the background music of "The Internationale," propelled them to the top of the trending searches across the internet.

They can't even retreat.

Jiang Chuan reacted quickly. After accepting this painful fact, he didn't waste any more emotions on what had already happened. He immediately went to the window to observe his surroundings.

The location of Zhixing Games is not hidden, and the recruitment email address is also public. Now, not only will the recruitment process be overwhelmed, but the email address will probably be overflowing.

So if a reporter wants to come and interview, they can find out where it is just by searching online.

The best way out now is to leave work early and run away.

Who knows when those reporters, who seem to be drawn to the heat like sharks smelling blood, will arrive at Chuangzhi Yunjing?

High-end office buildings won't allow large numbers of reporters to enter, but if reporters want to block the entrance, then there's no question about it.

In short: Silly child, run away!

Jiang Chuan's hands were trembling slightly as he put his laptop into his briefcase, which he then picked up and prepared to leave.

Oh, I almost forgot about the Earl.

He walked back, picked up the count, and ran out with long legs.

Before he could even say goodbye to Song Zhiming, Assistant Song watched as his boss inexplicably and hastily walked out.

It looked like if they didn't hurry, they would lose a deal worth hundreds of billions.

Has something serious happened?

Song Zhiming did not disturb them, but silently put his questions aside for the time being.

An excellent CEO assistant must learn not to be swayed by so-called curiosity.

If it's something she can know herself, she'll probably find out when President Jiang returns; if she can't know, it's best not to try to find out.

The more you know, the faster you die—that's a general rule.

What Song Zhiming didn't know was that Jiang Chuan's escape today meant his boss was going to the north, and seeing him again was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

She continued working, engrossed in her task, when suddenly a pop-up window appeared in the lower right corner of her computer, reminding her that her email inbox had reached its limit and she should check it promptly.

Song Zhiming was somewhat confused. What email?

She opened it and found that her company's recruitment email address was completely overwhelmed, with many undelivered emails still trying to get in...?

I clicked on a few of them, and they were all job applications. The resumes and desired positions were all over the place, ranging from doorman to sweeper to deliveryman—it was all ridiculous.

There are also legitimate job seekers, but Zhixing currently has no vacancies and is at full capacity.

If we hire more people, we'll have to rent another floor.

Before Song Zhiming could even figure things out, her email started beeping.

When I opened it, I found that the job postings on the recruitment app had already stopped accepting applications; someone had inexplicably added 99+ to their applications.

Even though Song Zhiming had been an assistant to the general manager and had worked in administration for many years, this was the first time he had ever seen something like this, so inexplicable.

She was now trending on Weibo as a top keyword... Song Zhiming took a look and then understood why President Jiang had run away so quickly.

Given Jiang's public image, running away is the only right thing to do.

But she… Song Zhiming had a bit of a headache. If all this was resolved, her workload would unexpectedly increase.

Then we'll have to deal with those reporters and such.

This high-paying job, which offered no worries about workplace relationships and no work pressure, was indeed not as perfect as I had imagined.

I never imagined that someone like me, who works in administration, would now have to do public relations.

Song Zhiming was somewhat envious of President Jiang's ability to simply leave.

However, Jiang Chuan left quite late. When he came downstairs, there were already a few reporters at the entrance. He then decisively didn't leave the elevator and went straight into the basement.

I drove home.

Who would have thought these reporters would... how did they even find another way to stake out people in the basement?

Fortunately, Jiang Chuan and his employees had a similar style, so they didn't attract much attention from reporters.

They can walk out of the high-end office building at this time, and they look like they're leaving get off work. They seem to be someone important. They must be in the business world.

And it doesn't look like it's from the gaming industry.

The stereotype of the gaming industry is that people wear baggy shorts, loose T-shirts, and plaid shirts, emphasizing a casual and relaxed lifestyle.

Working overtime excessively has resulted in dark circles under the eyes and hair loss.

Jiang Chuan escaped unscathed because of his fashion sense. He kept his head slightly lowered, looking serious and proper, but his speed did not decrease at all.

In just one minute, he covered a great distance in twos and threes.

Little did he know that a reporter was staring at his back for a couple of seconds, found it interesting, and casually took a picture to document it.

"Hmm, not bad. He definitely has the talent to switch careers and become a photographer," the reporter thought.

Jiang Chuan was somewhat relieved to have rushed home at breakneck speed and escaped unscathed.

Jiang Chuan's reaction might seem a bit overreacting, but he was well aware of the consequences. S City was no longer a suitable place to stay, and he needed to nip things in the bud...

However, arriving home earlier than usual still made him slightly uncomfortable, so he adjusted his watch and went back more than an hour.

Then remove your clothes and disinfect.

The count squatted down to the side and complained, "You're acting like some kind of monster is chasing you."

For Jiang Chuan, that was indeed a raging flood.

He finally had time to come to his senses and was unusually angry.

Some of the emotions that humans should have shown appeared; his brows furrowed slightly. Only his eyes could somewhat soften the aggressiveness of his features, and now even that gentleness was completely gone.

It looked exactly like something out of an old-fashioned romance novel, where a cold-faced, domineering CEO casually says, "The weather's getting colder; it's time to bankrupt the Wang family."

Jiang Chuan was simply thinking:

A gentleman would not leave this grudge unavenged.

This grudge... I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't avenge it (gritting my teeth).

President Jiang is truly angry, and it's probably not just about sacrificing the netizen who was the culprit, but also...

(The truth will be revealed later)
