Monday morning, Bruce is not woken up by an alarm clock,
but by a notification for a mobile game update!?
Typically a responsible worker, Bruce,
who constantly has an overflowing inbox and even attends meetings while half-asleep,
has been so obsessed with mobile games that he’s even spending money to pull for weapons during his subway rides.
His work performance is rapidly declining, and now he's under the radar of his supervisor.
Not only does he risk demotion or a deduction in bonuses,
but he’s also spent all the money for a promised trip with his friends!
Now, not only is his job in jeopardy,
but his failing relationships and ever-shrinking wallet are at risk too...
【For those who want to leave the office as soon as they step in】
You wish you could live off luck and skill, but instead, you’re buried in overtime and quietly working hard.
Occasionally, you want to slack off or doze off, but your supervisor always catches you T_T.
Over the years, the only thing that has improved isn’t your job rank, it’s your mobile game level.
【For those who are stuck in life, with only enough in their pocket for little pleasures】
You try to save money but can’t resist spending it,
and the only time you feel financially free is when you swipe your credit card or indulge in a good meal.
【Magical Words for the Overworked, Ensuring You Leave on Time Every Day!】
✦ When money can’t solve your problem, it’s because you need more money ✦
✦ The incapable work hard, and the capable work themselves to death ✦
✦ Lazy people always complain, while people with action immediately take leave ✦
