Wang Fulong downed his bottle of mineral water in one gulp, loosened his tie which was feeling a bit tight, and sat down under the shade of a tree in the park, watching the children play. Suddenly, he felt a sense of satisfaction; this kind of life wasn't so bad. No need to work, just fishing outside every day and earning money—how wonderful!

After finally making it to six o'clock, Wang Fulong usually stayed behind during this busiest time to do what he could. But these days he's come to terms with it. As soon as the time comes, he changes clothes, clocks out, and leaves work without lingering for even a second longer.
After Wang Fulong left, the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the kitchen changed, and everyone began to whisper among themselves, with smiles appearing on their faces.
