Ms. Wu,

you're in the middle of your lunch.

Dumplings.

What's up?

You've had

such a long day today.

So you don't need to work overtime.

Leave the work for tomorrow.

Okay.

Why are you throwing it away? It's a waste.

No.

I'm packing it up and taking it back.

Pack it up and take it back.

Then take the work back with you too.

Give it to me tomorrow morning.

[Paid Life Defense, Part 1]

[Gaofa Technology]

What is dignity?

Dignity is not about

having the right to choose a grand path,

but being able to defend

our smallest inch of territory.

Later on,

Gaofa called

this great battle for dignity as

[Gaofa Technology]

the Paid Life Defense.

At lunchtime,

Director Yao spoke to me

for seven minutes.

In the corridor at the end of the day,

I ran into the HR director

and we talked for three minutes.

Sisi.

Wait a minute.

Don't bother me.

I couldn't get away from the reunion last weekend

and was forced to join in

from 6:10

to 9:32.

What are you doing? It's time to eat.

Last week, the company

owes me a total of four hours and 18 minutes.

That is

258 minutes.

Divided into five portions,

it's 51.6 minutes per day.

Forget it. Let's eat first.

Coming.

I thought we agreed on rice vermicelli.

Here it is.

These are rice noodles.

I thought rice vermicelli and rice noodles are the same things.

They are so not.

What's wrong with you?

Why do you always make mistakes on

such small details?

The same thing happened to last week's product color card.

I claimed seawater blue.

You had to make it navy blue.

I've already apologized

for what happened last week.

Don't bring it up again.

I was scolded at work during the day.

And I have to bear with your reprimand when I go back home at night.

Stop.

Let's stop it here.

Let me record it first.

I asked

why you

always made mistakes on such details.

You said you were scolded in the office,

and had to bear with me at home too.

Okay, let's eat.

Wait, wait.

Are we done arguing?

Of course not.

It's such a nice weekend.

I can't waste our time arguing.

So let's eat.

What do you mean?

Aren't rice vermicelli rice noodles?

It's been a long time since I've had afternoon tea with pay.

Cozy.

Let me see.

19 minutes left.

Li Tianran,

come here.

What's wrong? You've come through?

Where were we

yesterday?

Let me check it out.

I asked

why you

always made mistakes on such details.

You said

you were scolded in the office,

and had to bear with me at home too.

So let's resume.

First,

I'm a person who separates public from private.

I never take my anger from the office

back home.

Second,

if I have to suppress my anger

because I am your boss

and your girlfriend at the same time,

I don't think

it's fair.

Wait, wait, wait.

What are you doing?

Can we do a breakpoint resume for a fight?

Yes.

Hurry up.

I have 17 minutes of paid bickering time

left today.

We can argue for several rounds.

Wait.

I was so angry yesterday

and you cut it off.

I forgot about it today

and you want to resume.

What is this?

That's because

I couldn't waste my precious rest time

on such unpleasant things

as a fight.

Arguing with pay?

It's kind of fun.

What were the 17 minutes about?

You remember yesterday I was doing the math, right?

I was figuring out how much time the company owed me.

Since they made me work overtime

and wouldn't pay me,

I had to

get it back myself.

It seems to make sense.

Everyone is doing it.

You don't know that?

Really?

Bai,

come here.

Let me ask you.

Will you make up for the overtime hours the company owes you

with a paid life?

No.

You see?

It seems to make sense, Tianran.

Wait for a second.

I have to do some calculations on

how much the company has owed me

since I came here.

You see?

Then I have to do the math too.

I worked overtime last Wednesday.

And then again on Thursday.

Is the new system in place?

It is.

Let's go.

[Conference Room]

I got it.

The lowest price cream on the net.

Sure enough,

the internet speed in this conference room

is faster than our office's.

The light is also good.

My jawline looks clear in the photo

at our conference room.

Isn't it?

I think so too.

Every time I take a selfie in the conference room,

it just looks great.

That's right.

You don't even need to turn on a beauty camera.

Ten seconds

before the company's debt to me

is paid off today.

I'm going back to work.

[Conference Room]

Bye.

Where are you going, Ms. Fan?

The acoustic monitoring showed

the sound waves in the conference room

didn't conform to the general pattern of meetings.

Mr. Zheng.

Paid shopping.

Paid make-up.

Paid to catch up with drama.

That is a fact.

[Gaofa Technology]

Ladies,

do you have any questions?

[Planning Department 3]

What's going on?

[Planning Department 3]

The following is an announcement of

the company's latest management system.

Be a good person and get a license to work.

Each person has a monthly performance rating of 14 points.

Here are the rules for the deduction of points.

Read it.

One point will be deducted for gossiping during work hours.

[Point Deduction Manual]

[Good Employees System]

Two points for using the company computer for personal business.

[Planning Department 3]

Three points for occupying the meeting room for leisure.

[Point Deduction System]

So what if all our points are deducted?

How many points will be deducted for questioning the leader

and flouting the rules?

Three points deducted with a 200-yuan fine.

Three points. 200 yuan.

[Point Deduction System]

No, it was just a question.

And you three.

You used the conference room for leisure

during work hours.

Three points each.

Wait for the email.

With seven points deducted in one go,

you'll automatically enter Gaofa Learning Class.

[Planning Department 3]

You have to pass the test

before you can continue to work with a license.

With fourteen points deducted in one go,

you'll be transferred to the South Pole branch to work for three years.

Only after the expiration of the period can you return to the headquarters of Gaofa.

Points deducted will be automatically cleared at the beginning of each month.

Any other questions?

Excuse me.

Where can we appeal?

Every Tuesday at 4 pm,

in my office

for complaint, reconsideration

and fine payment.

[Point Deduction Manual]

[Watch out for slippery floors]

What a long line.

Listen to me, everyone.

Now, this is the situation.

Liu

just started a video game.

It'll last at least 20 minutes

Zhang

[Watch out for slippery floors]

just found an influencer's account.

He'll be scrolling it for hours.

Mr. Ji is catching up on the drama

for at least two hours

So I think

my line should be the quickest.

[Watch out for slippery floors]

The usual rules.

First come, first served.

I'll count to three.

Scan the code.

Three.

Two.

Don't grab it.

Don't grab it.

What are you doing here

during working hours?

Write it down.

Seven points for each of them.

Seven points.

Did you write it down?

Pervert.

[Distribution Room]

Sorry, sorry.

[Watch out for slippery floors]

I'm sorry.

Wrong way.

Wrong way.

You...

Seven points.

[Distribution Room]

Seven points.

Seven points for being in the bathroom with pay.

Mr. Zheng,

there are a few more here.

Some people are paid to

[Distribution Room]

be in the bathroom.

[Watch out for slippery floors]

He is…

[Distribution Room]

Gao Defen from Planning Department 1.

You remind me.

He is a promising young man.

It took me an hour to catch up on the drama.

My legs are numb.

There is no one in the toilet today.

Finally, I don't have to

wait in line to go to the toilet.

Mr. Ji.

I'm in the toilet.

Don't talk.

Chihuahua

caught up on drama in the bathroom with pay.

Deduct seven points.

Block

all the electronic signals of

Gaofa's toilets.

Yes, sir.

Report to the study class.

Mr. Ji.

Study…

Seven points?

Classes?

What does that mean?

25

Female smoker.

Three points for smoking with pay.

80?

You are an old smoker.

For the sake of your health,

all 14 points should be deducted

and you'll immediately be sent to the South Pole.

Zero points.

You don't smoke.

Then why are you on the roof?

Reporting.

She's repeated

the song “Desert River Ballroom”

for nineteen times.

She was paid to be emotional.

That's even worse.

Deduct four points.

This is for you not working well.

Smoking.

Smoking is bad for health.

Deduct three points.

Remember.

Mr. Zheng

is doing great.

Are you running away,

Director Yao?

Why would I?

I never smoked, Mr. Zheng.

Then why did you come up?

I came up to make phone calls…

Paid phone calls.

Deduct six points.

Six points.

Six points?

This is for your smoking.

How about four points?

Eight points.

Six points.

Ten points.

Six points.

You called it.

An employee who works on the 12th floor

used the bathroom

on the distant 18th floor.

This is…

A Paid weight loss

B Paid toilet use

C Reporting beyond the level

D Reasonable

Three long and one short answer. Choose the short one.

D Reasonable

Why am I wrong again?

This question bank has 500 questions.

When can I finish it?

Oh my God.

It's already late.

To prove that someone is studying,

please face the camera.

Turn your head to the left.

First, to the left, right?

This…

I'm here.

I'm here.

No valid face activity detected.

Please relearn.

This…

I…

Why is my life so hard?

Almost there.

I'm off work.

Why isn't anyone moving?

You're not off work?

I'm hesitating.

Today's 51.6-minute

paid life

is only ten seconds short.

It was interrupted by Mr. Zheng.

If this goes on

and I keep calculating overtime,

it feels like it'll never be clear.

I figured it out.

I figured it out.

It's a total of 113 hours.

The company owes me 113 hours.

You only have 113 hours.

I counted it this afternoon too.

The company owes me

enough time for me to start slacking off

until five years later.

I'm afraid the company won't be able to pay it back.

Tianran,

you're still thinking about making the company

return your time?

You might as well

think about

how we can protect

the rest of our points.

I was just

lost in thought.

Another point was deducted.

It's only the beginning of the month and I have only nine points left.

Nine points.

I just took a phone call.

I have deducted six points.

That's so unfair.

I'm even worse than you guys.

I was told to drink milk tea with pay.

Now I have only eight points left.

I'm okay.

I still have ten points.

Who is worse than me?

I was deducted seven points

and sent to the study class.

You…

Mr. Ji.

Why don't you

take my points for now?

I have 14 points full.

Forget it.

You have to go to the gym at noon.

If you don't come back,

you'll have eight points deducted.

It's not so many.

No way.

We can't let Mr. Zheng

continue like this.

How come the company

makes overtime justifiable

and we have to be sneaky like this to

try to take back

our own time?

Yes.

Yeah.

I've come up with a way to deal with it.

Starting tomorrow,

we're going to stand up for

our own lives.

Okay.

Okay.

In Planning Department 3,

[Vice Chairman's Office]

Li Tianran has deducted four points.

Six points for Yao Siwen.

Seven points for Ji Huahua.

Good.

It's effective.

Mr. Zheng,

the new system has only been implemented for one day

and has influenced the whole Planning Department 3.

I think soon

they'll join up with Planning Department 2.

Within three days,

send them all to the study class.

I see.

Go.

Yes, sir.

Ms. Fan.

The meeting room has been set up.

We've contacted Gao Defen to work with us

in the bathroom.

Good.

Director Yao said

the rooftop alignment map was okay.

Come on, I have to finish

my 51.6-minute paid life today.

Tianran,

I have to enjoy

paid life today.

It's okay.

Since the good-person system

has blocked all the signals in the bathrooms,

I have top short video picks,

off-line mini-games,

live game recordings.

They're all offline resources.

Just tell me which one you need.

Is there a Harvard open class?

Yale's can do too.

I'll repeat it.

What's the verse of

dodging rooftop cameras?

Up, down, left, right, left, right.

ABAB.

Do you understand?

Yes.

On my command.

Go.

Go.

Bai,

what are you doing?

Let's go.

I'm paid to learn English.

Learn...

You big…

Forget it.

Your master is Li Tianran.

Bachelor.

Reporting.

The sound waves in the conference room are normal.

There is no one on the rooftop.

Bathroom signal blockers

are working well.

How is it possible?

It hasn't been that long.

Wait a minute.

Let's go

check it out.

Mr. Zheng

did the right thing.

He is so wise.

Director Yao

[Director Yao]

[Mr. Zheng] [Director Yao]

is always careless.

What? Can't I speak the truth?

That's because Mr. Zheng

always accounts for Director Yao's work.

Director Yao has too much on his plate.

How can he not make mistakes?

That's not necessarily.

Mr. Zheng is also very busy.

Don't find any more excuses for

Director Yao.

Besides,

Mr. Zheng wanted to have rice vermicelli.

[Planning Department 3]

Director Yao had to buy him rice noodles.

How can you use “busy” as an excuse for this?

I've told you

Director Yao is a northerner.

He can't tell the difference

between vermicelli and noodles.

It's normal to be wrong.

[Mr. Zheng] [Director Yao]

Okay.

Let's go ask the chairman to judge this.

Chairman?

Now you're afraid.

If you're afraid, go back to work.

Chairman, right.

[Chairman]

[Planning Department 3]

When did I ever ask Director Yao to

buy rice vermicelli?

I don't know.

[Planning Department 3]

Mr. Ji.

Mr. Zheng,

I've graduated from the study class.

I also got my new certificate.

The study period of the course is…

Twenty hours.

Twenty hours.

That's right.

From yesterday to now, it's been…

29 hours.

29 hours.

[Planning Department 3]

Did you take the class with pay?

Chihuahua,

your new license is invalid.

Three more points deducted.

Wait, Mr. Zheng.

Wait, Mr. Zheng.

[Planning Department 3]

Let me explain.

Here is the thing.

I…

Mr. Ji,

three more points deducted.

Three...

[Planning Department 3]

Did you hear that?

[Planning Department 3]

Do you see that?

Is this bullying?

Forget it, Mr. Ji.

You still have three points left.

Keep up the good work.

You'll get used to it.

Maybe this time you'll get 10 points.

Ten points?

What's the point of getting such a high score?

I won't get a bonus.

We can't

keep hiding like this.

If only there was

a utopia

like in the movie.

It's good to

hide inside and do nothing for ten minutes a day.

[Planning Department 3]

I'd like to.

Dear colleagues,

there's always a way.

And through the day's study,

I've found

my favorite way to live with pay.

[Planning Department 3]

Keep it down.

[Planning Department 3]

How is the good-person system working?

It's working very well.

The inspection team also made a lot of effort.

Paid slacking off

has been rare.

Is that so?

It's all because of your good leadership, Mr. Zheng.

What's going on here?

[Almighty House]

[Almighty House]

[Almighty House]

[Almighty House]

[Almighty House] [5 yuan, 15 minutes, 50% off with a Gaofa work card]

[Almighty House]

Happy.

It's really happy to be paid to start a business.

Where are they?

They should be

at the Almighty House downstairs.

What is it?

Rumor has it

it's the company that has poached Gaofa employees.

According to my observation,

it's an entertainment place

that can be used as a company,

dressing room lounge at the same time.

I say, Hualang.

I thought so highly of you.

What kind of stupid idea did you come up with?

The staff is all gone.

What reputation will we receive?

That we can't keep our employees?

I wanted them

not to slack off at work,

not to run off.

Before the end of the day,

you must come up with a solution.

Or else you'll...

Go to the South Pole.

Didn't you come up with the good-person system?

[Planning Department 3]

Guys,

you've been working hard lately.

Mr. Zheng specially instructed me

to give each one of you a cushion,

so that you can sit more comfortably

when working.

[Planning Department 3]

Distribute them.

I'll take the cushion of Mr. Yu and Director Yao.

Thank you.

Mr. Ji.

This is for you.

Secretary Cui.

I don't dare to take it.

I wonder how many points will be deducted

for sitting comfortably with pay?

Don't say that.

Take it.

Take it.

[Planning Department 3]

I'm telling you the truth.

Mr. Zheng has admitted defeat.

He has recognized his mistake

but he can't bear it to

apologize to you.

So he sent me

to inform you

that since today,

good-employee policy

is completely abolished.

Really?

Of course.

Then, do I still need to do the test?

No.

From tomorrow,

you can do what you're supposed to do.

Everything is back to normal.

Okay, sit comfortably.

[Planning Department 3]

I'm going to give out cushions to Planning Department 1.

Let's go.

He's yielded to

a softer approach.

Yes, it's soft.

I can't get into the question bank.

It says that the system is invalid from now on.

Really?

[Planning Department 3]

I guess it's true.

Everyone,

Cui Hualang is giving each department

ergonomic cushions

and apologizing one by one.

Looks like we won.

It's comfortable.

[Planning Department 3]

I can spin around.

[Lucky day to step on eggs]

Sisi.

You saw what happened at the Creative Meeting, right?

I told them to speak up

and come up with their new ideas.

But no one was very active.

It doesn't matter

whether it's a good idea or not.

The point is

when we all get together

and come up with new ideas,

there can be new sparks.

There is a way

called “The worst idea”.

What is it?

When no one gives an opinion,

you can

come up with

the worst idea.

To stop

this idea from happening,

people will try to

give their opinion.

Awesome.

It's really awesome.

I'll try it next time.

No need to try.

No need to bother.

Jiang Mei.

How's it going?

Have you come up with a good idea?

How about this?

Let's have dinner first

and continue after dinner.

I suddenly thought of an idea.

I suddenly had a flash of light.

I also thought of an idea.
