A lot has happened in the past few days.

When problems arose with the company's project, the first person to take the fall was Supervisor Liu Xianmin.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have been asked to work overtime during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

And he couldn't even shoulder this blame; the higher-ups were furious...

When the product launched, it received a barrage of complaints, even though Bohan Technology had spent a fortune on advertising.

They even poured huge amounts of capital into subsidizing users.

As a result, users did download the product, but after milking the benefits, they uninstalled it immediately.

Everyone collectively complained that the product was unusable...

But if a building is poorly constructed and ugly, can you blame the construction workers??

Who ordered the cutting of corners? Who approved the UI design? Who led the work?

These people were just doing the labor; they did exactly what the bosses told them to do.

When problems arose, in the end, it was still these small fry who had to take the blame...

"General Manager Chen cursed out the entire technical department today. Look at the work you've done." Supervisor Liu Xianmin couldn't help but be anxious; he was carrying a monthly mortgage of 12,000 and a car loan of 4,000.

Plus, he had two children and a wife to support.

If the responsibility were divided fairly, he would bear 40%, while the remaining 60% was the fault of the boss's son, Chen Tianhua.

But who would dare to hold Chen Tianhua accountable?

There was no need to think twice; he would definitely be the one to bear the responsibility, and he couldn't afford to. Although the big boss didn't explicitly say anyone would be fired...

…the atmosphere clearly indicated that there would definitely be a reckoning later.

None of them dared to say much. Everyone has a temper, but jobs aren't that easy to find.

Finding a job that pays 3,000 a month just to survive isn't hard, but jobs with a monthly salary of over 20,000 aren't exactly on every street corner.

Who doesn't have a mortgage, a car loan, or plans for the future?

Even Zhang Qianming was just bragging a bit earlier; his parents only gave him 300,000, he put in 60,000, and the rest was a loan.

As for a house, he didn't even dare to think about it now; anything decent costs six or seven million.

And it's not close to the company; if you want a commute within half an hour, houses cost over ten million.

The other colleagues were either carrying mortgages or saving up for bride prices; none of them could afford to take the risk.

"What are you all standing around for?" Seeing that no one moved, Supervisor Liu Xianmin's anger flared even higher. He kicked a trash can next to him, sending it flying to the curb. "Hurry back and fix the bugs! Chen Tianhua said that we must have an optimization plan by midnight tonight, and it has to go live for testing first thing tomorrow morning. If it doesn't pass, you can all pack your bags and get out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

They hadn't even eaten yet, and they were already being told to go back to work?

"Um, Supervisor Liu, regarding this... we... we'll go back as soon as we finish eating!" Zhu Jianhua had an impulse just now to shout out, "What the hell does that have to do with me?"

But the words were swallowed back before they could leave his mouth.

Supervisor Liu Xianmin pointed at Zhu Jianhua's nose: "Let me tell you, you have to bear the primary responsibility. Among this group, you are the oldest! What kind of example are you setting? I told you to review the code again during the National Day holiday; did you look at it? Did you test it?"

"I... uh..." Zhu Jianhua really wanted to curse. He was getting married during those days!

Review the code, my ass!

The few young people also lowered their heads in indignation, not even having the courage to meet each other's eyes.

"Hurry up and eat; your lunch break is cancelled! Get back and fix the problems immediately after eating!" Supervisor Liu Xianmin waved his hand, telling them to leave quickly.

Zhang Qianming and the other colleagues quickly exchanged glances, urging Zhu Jianhua to go eat with them.

Zhu Jianhua hesitated for a few seconds and said, "My cousin is coming over, he said he brought me mooncakes... I..."

Upon hearing this, Supervisor Liu Xianmin was even more furious: "Still thinking about the Mid-Autumn Festival? Think about your future. You're a grown man; will you die if you miss one meal of mooncakes? I've abandoned my family and career to be here; have I said anything?"

"Screech~" Just as he finished speaking, the sound of emergency braking rang out behind him.

Tang Luochuan had just turned the corner when he saw a trash can tipped over on the side of the road.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and slammed on the brakes; who knew there would be a trash can blocking the middle of the road at the corner?

"Oh my god! The quality of the staff at this company is mediocre; no one even bothers to pick up such a big trash can? Damn... isn't that Cousin Jianhua? Their quality is truly worrying. Hahaha," Tang Luochuan laughed and muttered to himself.

He drove around the trash can and parked directly behind that AITO Wenjie.

Everyone looked at this Rolls-Royce, filled with confusion.

Did Young Master Chen change cars again??

But when they clearly saw the person getting out of the car, apart from Zhu Jianhua, the others were all bewildered; they didn't recognize the young man in front of them.

Tang Luochuan got out of the car, carrying a bag of loose mooncakes in one hand and house keys in the other.

These mooncakes weren't something he had bought for Zhu Jianhua; he was too carefree and didn't have the mind for such things.

They were brought from their hometown by Zhu Xiumei, a side business from Tang Hai's factory.

His family had been eating them for over a decade; every Mid-Autumn Festival, Tang Hai would buy a pile of them.

The old factory used simple ingredients, but they were clean, hygienic, and tasted pretty good.

The whole family thought they were delicious, though the flavors kept changing between the same few types, especially the five-nut mooncakes.

They were deified by the older generation and complained about by the new generation.

"Cousin, my mom asked me to bring you some mooncakes! Are you really too busy to get together with us tonight? What kind of company is this, paying you peanuts? Why work so hard?" Tang Luochuan felt a bit of heartache when he saw his cousin.

The guy's dark circles were much heavier again.

Zhu Jianhua quickly blinked, signaling that his supervisor was there.

But at this moment, Supervisor Liu Xianmin didn't dare to say much either.

Shanghai is a place that values strength.

If you have money, you speak more; if you don't, you shut up.

Many people don't understand the principle that "people are equal when they don't need favors from each other"; instead, they feel that as long as the other person has money, they are superior to you.

"Luochuan... is that your car?" Zhu Jianhua glanced at the rolls-royce cullinan.

Tang Luochuan raised an eyebrow; he didn't want to hide it anymore. His parents had already seen his big house.

Showing off a little strength now wasn't a bad idea.

"Of course it is... Cousin... I'm planning to start a company too! I'll call you when the time comes, and you can help me manage it!" Tang Luochuan said generously, but then added, "Of course, it won't be up and running for a while! When it's ready, I'll call you."

The last part was just him talking nonsense; he could start it whenever he wanted.

But then he suddenly considered Meng Fanyi and felt it was best to resolve this 'cousin-in-law' situation first.

If it turned out to be a misunderstanding and the person sending the private messages was just a staff member from Meng Fanyi's agency, then it wouldn't matter.

If it wasn't, and it was Meng Fanyi causing trouble, then that would be troublesome. With a woman like that behind Zhu Jianhua, he wouldn't dare bring Zhu Jianhua into his own company.

They were relatives, after all; he didn't need any extra trouble.

Tang Luochuan looked at Zhu Jianhua's haggard appearance; he was much thinner than he had been during the National Day holiday.

"Does your company not even give marriage leave? You can't even go on a honeymoon? My brother-in-law, that is, Shen Muyan's brother! No matter how crappy things are over there, they still give marriage leave! It's just that his fiancée is mediocre..."

As he spoke, Tang Luochuan shoved the mooncakes into his hand and handed him the keys: "Take these! I sent you the address on WeChat; it's not far from here, a 15-minute drive... Since I'm already here, why don't you treat me to a meal at your cafeteria?"

He looked relaxed, but his words made everyone else feel uncomfortable.

"Luochuan... um..." Zhu Jianhua was in a difficult position.

Supervisor Liu Xianmin glanced at them, turned around, and left silently. With a wealthy relative visiting, what was the point of him sticking around to watch?

But he hadn't walked many steps before he heard Tang Luochuan shouting at the top of his lungs: "Then why don't you call 12345? No lunch break? Isn't that infringing on workers' rights, damn it? F*ck... they've been spoiled rotten..."

"Keep your voice down..."

"I'm more awesome than your boss; why should I keep it down? I've seen your company! It'll be a competitor to the one I'm planning to open, so your company is doomed."

Zhu Jianhua was speechless; why was his cousin such a show-off? "Stop acting so cocky, our company has been established for over 20 years."

"It wouldn't matter if you'd been established for ten thousand years; even if you were founded in the Jurassic period, it wouldn't matter!" Tang Luochuan looked around at the environment; this was the grandeur he dreamed of.

When he starts his own company, he has to get a campus this big.
