Unforgivable!

The early winter weather in Pengcheng was splendid – bright sunshine and a gentle breeze filled the air. For Lin Cao, the former manager of Moon Mansion Media's top live-streaming anchor, it felt especially uplifting.

Standing on the street, Lin Cao's mood mirrored the weather, filled with unparalleled relief. After months of wrangling, he had finally secured compensation from his former employer, Moon Mansion Media. Though the journey had been fraught with twists and turns, he had the money in hand at last. It was the sweet fruit of his arduous negotiations over the past few months.

"They really played dirty, those folks at Moon Mansion..." Lin Cao muttered under his breath, tugging at his collar and a hint of resentment in his voice. "All this fuss over a bit of money, they had to target me like this."
