8 PM Beijing time, Cao Yueyue, tired from taking calls all day, left the company.
In the corridor waiting for the elevator, people who, like her, had worked overtime until now were standing in abundance, each with an expressionless face, all lit by the glow of their smartphone screens.
No, she hadn't exactly worked overtime today, after all, she was supposed to have finished work at six.
It was just that the supervisor had organized a meeting in the evening, which ran a little long.
According to the company's rules, this kind of summary meeting was voluntary, and everyone could choose not to attend.
But Cao Yueyues like her did not have the courage to stand out.
Opening various job-hunting websites, Cao Yueyue browsed through the day's postings.
She wanted to change jobs, not caring for a high wage, just a normal off-work time, even a monthly salary of four thousand would be acceptable.
