Budget Cuts--Child Prodigy in Shanghai
In a company run by people like Dr. Kelso from Scrubs who sometimes put money in front of service, managing a profitable budget affects thousands. Due to economic drawbacks, the company decides to let go 60% if it's blue collar employees. The method they choose to notify and get them out of the building was to simply take them by surprise and get them out through one of three completely random ways. 1) a gigantic water slide four stories long down into a large trucker hauling a tank of water. 2) vacuum people out the windows and gently float them to the ground through am array of humongous fans. 3) similar to the second one, but instead of fans, there's a firemen's blow up shock absorbing pillow; one out of four actually makes it to the ground alive. While leaving the premises, an equipment truck with the company's logo passed by and I couldn't help by flip them the bird. The angry driver makes a sudden screeching drift, dropping a large piece of equipment. I seized the moment and grabbed it and ran. The driver makes an impossible U-turn and catches up. On the way up an elevated area in front of the building, I crossed paths with a fellow ex-coworker who also seem to be chased by an angry trucker. In a weird twist of events, I ended up in a tree, hung by a branch and holding a banana peel. Suddenly I'm now a child prodigy of martial arts (kind of like the Golden child except I can move xp ). My quick thinking brought me the idea of notifying an old monk behind the glass doors of a telephone booth by throwing the banana peel at it. With only one chance of success, I concentrated my focus and made the impossible toss. When the monk came by, I'm no longer stuck in a tree but atop a wall and yet I still can't get down. The monk grabs a string that was hanging the lanterns and held it on the opposite side of the wall so I can safely scale down. It had seem like I was being chased by some goons of a Shanghai Beach gang. From where I came down from the wall, I was in a maze with people trying to catch me. They captured the monk and carried him out. As I rushed to intercept them, I was shot in the ankle. Suddenly, I'm not the prodigy anymore, but I'm his protector, a mere mortal in a suit. I took down two goons who used to be my "bros" and was confronted by two beauties in qi paos. I manage to not succumb to their seductive techniques and with my heart of steel knocked them unconscious. Out of nowhere came a whole pack of goons, I was surrounded...
