It was a typical stuffy day in a large office. Sitting at his desk, Xinchen was overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork. An employee had recently quit, so there was more work to do. While sorting through another handful of papers, the manager seemed to remember something, took the necessary documents that were carefully folded in a red folder, and left his office.

Things weren't going too smoothly for Song Lan at this time. He knew about the layoffs, of course, and ordered new candidates to be found for the role. The company was thriving, but the workload was no less. Song Lan's office was spacious and perfectly appointed. It embodied Song Lan and matched his style. The entire office was also well-designed, and the way everything was arranged revealed the master craftsmen's superb work. The office also featured decorations and even small illustrations on the walls, like living spaces, like those cozy little towns within walls that had clearly been furnished for centuries.

Xingchen reached the door and knocked. The first time there was no answer; Song Lan was too lost in his thoughts and reports, though he held himself as confident and unemotional as ever. On the second knock, he was allowed in.
