A Company with a Rigid Hierarchy, Meeting Ilis

Su Yi swiped his card and rode the elevator as it stopped and started all the way up. It took a full ten minutes to reach the 421st floor.

The sudden stops and accelerations felt like a bus ride and nearly made Su Yi throw up.

When he stepped out, he found the floor much quieter.
