Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening.

Clearly, E-Goat had only seen the most common company structure along the way, each and every one of the extremely ordinary departments, but with all of it pieced together, and the final truth revealed, E-Goat felt his world spin.
