"Next stop, Renmin Road."
"Please exit through the door on the right."
"Beep, beep, beep——"
The metro doors opened.
Shen Ye followed the crowd to exit the platform and headed toward the stairs.
Time was tight.
He quickened his pace, moving swiftly through the passageway.
Leaving the metro station and crossing the road, he arrived at an office building.
The company was on the twenty-first floor.
Today was Monday, and there was a morning meeting.
He couldn't afford to be late.
Being late to the meeting meant a deduction of... 100 yuan?
Right, 100 yuan.
Ridiculous.
The convenience store downstairs, open 24/7, offered microwaveable prepackaged meals for just a little over ten yuan.
Being frugal, 100 yuan could last him two whole days of meals, maybe even more.
If he bought noodles instead, 100 yuan could buy five boxes of egg noodles.
Cooking at home could stretch that to last a month!
Shen Ye broke into a jog.
He couldn't lose those 100 yuan!
