Turning Trash into Treasure

On the eve of being laid off, Zhou Yan receives a 'special task'—to clean out a large cabinet of 'rejected cases' stamped with red seals in the company's archive room. Those cases were either cursed as garbage by clients, embarrassed the leadership, or nearly dragged the company into lawsuits. In everyone's eyes, it was a 'workplace dumpster' and the final cold palace before being kicked out. Just as he opens the first rejected case, a translucent panel pops up: [Bestseller Rewriting System Bound] [Detected rejected case: transform into a bestseller to settle one 'fate rewrite']. From that day on—projects others avoided became stepping stones for his promotion and raise; abandoned plans and rejected ideas were rewritten by him into industry-teaching 'bestseller cases'; clients went from blacklisting him to begging him to take their projects; leaders went from making him the scapegoat to realizing they had long become part of Zhou Yan's 'workplace rewrite plan'. When all 'rejected cases' were reignited, the entire industry discovered: what they thought was garbage were actually steps he had quietly laid to the top.
