Parallel Blue Star, 2025.
Capitalists have once again gained the upper hand, relentlessly exploiting the working class.
The working class, overwhelmed by the burden, complained bitterly and criticized the capitalists.
To prove that their money was earned through their own abilities, capitalists specially funded the creation of a variety show.
[Identity Swap!]
It allows low-level workers to switch roles with their bosses.
For a period of one year.
If an employee can turn a profit within a year of becoming a boss, then the employee wins.
But if the boss becomes an employee and rebuilds his business through his intelligence and talent, then the boss wins.
Lu Yiming is the working-class person who was chosen.
He arrived at the company where his identity had been swapped, wearing an inexpensive suit.
Founder Investment!
As a top investment firm in the industry, the production team has really gone all out for this program.
"Mr. Lu, what are your plans after assuming the chairmanship?"
"Mr. Lu, were you already prepared for failure?"
"Mr. Lu, the previous participants all failed. Do you think you can win this role-swapping challenge?"
...
A group of reporters who had been paid began to harass Lu Yiming from various tricky angles.
Just as Lu Yiming was about to answer.
"Ding! The Prodigal Son System is officially activated. No matter how much money the host loses, it can be returned tenfold!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Lu Yiming was immediately taken aback.
But then he smiled and said with absolute confidence:
"Yes, I don't intend to win. I intend to lose the entire company within a month!"
"What!"
The reporters present were dumbfounded.
No one expected Lu Yiming to be so direct!
[Ding! Shock value gained +!]
[Shock value can be converted into cash tenfold]
"Oh? There's such a thing?" Lu Yiming was surprised.
Great, the million dollars are in hand.
He also needs to give these paparazzi some juicy scoops.
“That’s right! Anyway, we working-class people can’t win no matter what, so I might as well enjoy this month to the fullest!” Lu Yiming revealed an evil smile.
[Ding! Shock value gained +!]
The reporters were stunned for several seconds before hurriedly asking their questions:
"Mr. Lu, have you suffered some kind of blow?"
"Mr. Lu, how can you so recklessly squander the program's assets? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Mr. Lu, aren't you afraid of facing legal consequences for doing this?"
...
Lu Yiming shrugged and smiled.
See?
This is typical capitalist practice.
We must operate according to their plan, otherwise it would be considered treason.
Capitalists love to see the desperate struggles of the working class end in utter failure!
Previous participants all gave it their all, but due to the show's behind-the-scenes manipulation, they still went bankrupt.
Lu Yiming, however, simply refused to comply with the wishes of these capitalists!
Not only the reporters went crazy, but even the working class who watched the entire live broadcast went crazy.
"Holy crap! Are you kidding me, bro?! Are you really that direct?!"
"Awesome! This is the first time I've seen someone describe 'playing it cool' in such a refreshing and sophisticated way!"
"Brothers, just enjoy the show. Think about it, the capitalists are funding this program to undermine us and make us work like slaves. There's no way they'll let us win."
...
This program was broadcast live in its entirety, and countless Chinese workers were watching it online.
After reaping a wave of shock, Lu Yiming ignored the reporters and took the VIP elevator to the top floor.
A beautiful secretary was already standing in front of the elevator. Seeing Lu Yiming approach, she hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Chairman Lu, let me briefly introduce some information about Founder Investment."
"No need," Lu Yiming interrupted her directly, saying:
"I'm too lazy to find out."
[Ding! Shock value gained +9999!]
"Damn it, this guy is really here to slack off."
"Squander billions in a month? That seems like a more interesting challenge."
"Hilarious, that secretary immediately moved to Bengbu."
...
"That's what the working class in the live stream said."
The secretary was stunned.
"I need you to call all the employees over here immediately!" Lu Yiming continued before his secretary could even finish her bewilderment:
"I want to hold a general meeting for all employees!"
"Huh?" Now it was the secretary's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Chairman, including the outsourced employees, we have several hundred employees!"
"We don't have a conference room big enough to gather everyone at once!"
"Then let them participate online. This meeting is very important!"
...
A few minutes later, Lu Yiming successfully convened the employee meeting.
We had to use more than a dozen meeting rooms just to barely have enough.
What is Lu Yiming trying to do?
"I don't understand. Could it be that they're announcing their plan to give up?"
"Ha, it's just a new broom sweeping clean. Many employees who become bosses start by making fun of their own people. That's what happens when a dragon slayer turns into a dragon!"
...
The viewers in the live stream were still discussing it.
No one can guess what Lu Yiming is thinking.
"The purpose of this meeting is very simple," Lu Yiming said, sitting down with his legs crossed.
"It's about giving everyone more benefits!"
"Here it comes! The theory of '996 as a blessing' is here."
"It's over, this company is doomed, we'll be working overtime until we die."
"Heh, this has just suited the capitalists' wishes. Winning this challenge by working overtime is a loss, even if they win, it will only further prove the legitimacy of overtime. This is an unsolvable dilemma!"
...
[Ding! Shock value gained +]
Even the company executives and employees attending the meeting looked disheartened.
We just got rid of the devil, but now we've been greeted by Satan!
But Lu Yiming's next sentence shocked everyone.
"I've decided! Starting today, we'll have a two-day work week followed by a five-day weekend!"
Working on weekends!
Weekdays are holidays!
silence.
A deathly silence.
Not only the working class attending the meeting, but even the laborers in the live stream were stunned.
But the next second...
The entire venue erupted in cheers!!!
