Bigger by a Whole Size?

On Sundays, Silicon Valley was not as lively as usual. As a hub for the world's top high-tech companies, the pay and benefits offered by the companies here ranked among the best in the United States.

The companies here treated their technical staff extremely well. Newly hired programmers started at over 250,000 Federation Currency, and that was before counting the various health-insurance plans and high-end benefits. To ensure their employees stayed in good spirits, they generally did not occupy their weekends.

Of course, that did not include Chinese employees like An Shunwang, who were ostracized...

Dragging his reluctant feet, An Shunwang slowly made his way to the elevator outside his company. Since it was Sunday, there were very few people waiting in line, most of them testers.

Most of the companies in this building worked on virtual games and regularly recruited large numbers of testers. Their work schedules usually avoided those of the developers. While the programmers rested on weekends, the testers would often find the game's bugs before the programmers returned to work on Monday.

Of course, to ensure that the minor bugs programmers could fix with ease were dealt with quickly, several low-level software engineers were usually scheduled to work overtime on Sundays and stand by, ready to make changes at any time...

It was a job that required little technical skill and offered little appreciation in return. It was generally used by newcomers to gain experience...

But An Shunwang had already been with this company for two years...

Thinking of this, An Shunwang felt deeply depressed. As he stood there gloomily, a familiar voice sounded behind him...

"Hey, Julie, you're here early?"

That Julie was naturally not calling him, but a white girl behind him. She was a newcomer who had just graduated from Carnegie Mellon University.
