《Chronicles of Hui Yuan》The Zhang House
Advertisement
"Zhang Chao, can you have the CPA of the recent advertisement to my table by 7pm?"
Zhang Chao looked up from his keyboard, his eyelids already heavy from the overtime he had to endure in order to enjoy his annual holiday properly. The hulking figure before him had a stomach that rivalled the Buddha Himself, the buttons strain against the fabric that holds them together and with each breath, it seemed as if his boss' shirt was going to erupt and send the buttons flying.
"Yes, boss!" Zhang Chao immediately replied and his boss gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"That's what young men are good for! That's a good spirit!" His boss smiled, moving on to the colleague beside him.
Ah... I'm almost done anyway...
Or at least that was what Zhang Chao thought to himself.
Click clack... Click clack... The sound of the keyboards being typed in unison in the office got softer and softer as the night went on, until it was only a single keyboard moving. He was going to get his 13th-month bonus soon... Just a bit more... A few more lines of data...
The blueish light from the computer illuminated his face and after several more hours, he finally sent out the email.
Standing up to stretch, Zhang Chao picked up his jacket and dragged his feet out of the office and the lift door creaked open ominously, the metallic clanging that he is so familiar with. Entering the lift, he pressed for the first floor. That familiar grinding sound of the cable lowered the lift. And that was going to be his last day at work before the ten days long holiday.
That was when he heard a massive crunching sound, a creaking that scraped against his ears. He found himself being thrown to the side as he felt himself slowly floating into the air. The last thing he felt was a massive slam against his back and the crunching of the metal driven into his back.

"Sir! Sir! Madam is going to give birth!" Hou Ning hurriedly ran into the main manor and shouted as he looked for his employer. The other servants stared at him and there was a brief moment of silence as Hou Ning caught his breath. That was when everyone started shouting for Zhang Tie, the lord of the manor and head of house.
"What!?" A booming voice echoed from his study and the paper doors flung open, a man in red robes that barely concealed his muscular stature stumbled out of his room, clutching a book as he sprinted towards Hou Ning, coming within inches of the servant.
"Y-Yes, sir! The midwife is with her! I think you shou-" Hou Ning was barely able to finish before Zhang Tie grabbed the servant's shoulder and spun him around and gave him a push. A signal to run.
That day, as the midwife held up the baby who was crying and Zhang Tie and his wife who had endured hours of childbirth, the muscular man flipped through the Ancestral Book.
"Your name shall be Zhang Chao!"
