The Spring Festival is approaching, but I'm not excited at all.

Li Weiming stared at the calendar. The bright red characters for "Spring Festival" were surrounded by dense annotations of "adjusted holidays," like a solitary island encircled by an endless cage. He felt a wave of dizziness, as if the entire world were spinning, the dates like runaway horses, galloping towards an unknowable black hole.

Old Wang was the sole lucky winner of the "Year-End Lucky Koi" at the company's annual party. He didn't win a BMW, nor did he win cash. Instead, he won a "New Year Limited Experience Post" – a "Spring Festival Folklore Special Envoy."

The duties of the "Special Envoy" sounded grand, but in reality, during the Spring Festival holiday, he was to carry out a series of "holiday atmosphere creation" tasks according to the company's issued "Folklore SOP." When Old Wang saw the task list, he almost laughed his false teeth out: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, send "New Year red envelopes" to the company group, and attach a picture of dumplings; on the second day, participate in the "Cloud Temple Fair" and live-stream clay figurine making at a designated location; on the third day, collect "Fu" characters and post them inside the company; on the fourth day, perform "God of Wealth Arrives" and dance square dancing in the live broadcast room; on the fifth day, send "Breaking Five" blessings in the company group, and attach a self-compiled "Breaking Five" jingle.
