Worker's Diary Series - Reprimand

Character Introduction:

· Name: Bao Xiaoxi
· Age: 35
· Position: New Media Operations Specialist, Marketing Department, "Top Ox and Horse" Co., Ltd.
· Tenure: 12 years

· Appearance: Delicate in appearance, but often with a hint of fatigue from staying up late. To save time, she always wears black-rimmed glasses, and her hairstyle is an eternally unchanging flat top.
· Fashion philosophy: "Comfortable and foolproof." Her wardrobe is full of Uniqlo basics and a few "battle robes" for important occasions. Her backpack is her mobile office, containing a laptop, three power banks (one for her phone, one for her headphones, one spare), a spiral notebook filled with fragmented ideas, and various snacks.
· Complex demeanor: Usually a gentle and harmless "office wallflower," but when discussing topics she excels at, her eyes sparkle with sharpness and stubbornness.

· Name: Xiong Wei
· Age: 48
· Position: Founder and CEO, "Top Ox and Horse" Co., Ltd.

· Body: Slightly plump, with a kind face, naturally possessing a "bear-like" appearance that makes people feel at ease. However, long-term sleep deprivation has given him heavy dark circles under his eyes, making him look more like a tired panda.
· Attire: Casual, usually a POLO shirt or a wrinkled shirt, paired with casual trousers and sports shoes. His only expensive suit is worn only when meeting important investors.
· His office is chaotic, piled with product samples, books, and half-eaten takeout, but miraculously, he can always quickly find what he's looking for.

· Surface personality: Gentle, nostalgic, a bit garrulous. Unlike a traditional "domineering CEO," he remembers the names of most old employees and even cares about their lives.
· Deeper personality: Anxious, lonely, burdened with heavy responsibility. He carries the livelihoods of dozens of employees and their families, a pressure that makes him feel like he's walking on thin ice. He yearns to be understood but must also maintain his authority as the boss.

     On Friday afternoon, 35-year-old Bao Xiaoxi, a "company fossil" with her signature "the company is my home, styling can go to hell" flat top, was secretly slacking off at her desk, filtering movies to watch over the weekend.

The internal phone rang piercingly. It was Boss Xiong.

       "Xiaoxi, come to my office for a moment." Boss Xiong’s voice was as kind as ever, but a nerve in Bao Xiaoxi's heart still tensed up—this tone was like the calm before a storm.

She grabbed her "mobile office" backpack that had been with her for years, took a deep breath, and walked into the famous "Bear's Den General Store" office.

Boss Xiong Wei was sitting behind a pile of product samples and documents, his panda-like dark circles looking particularly deep today. He silently turned his tablet towards Bao Xiaoxi.

On the screen was a Weibo post just published by the company's official account:

【Top Ox and Horse Co., Ltd. wishes everyone immediate success and soaring prosperity!】 But the accompanying image was a mesmerizing GIF of a "grass-mud horse" (alpaca) galloping wildly across the grassland.

The comment section had completely fallen, filled with joyful comments like "hahahahaha," "Is the official having fun being playful?" and "Understood, the company mascot has been found!"

     Bao Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and she thought, "Oh no, I slipped up!"

     Yesterday, to find an image for "ox and horse spirit," she had saved this hilarious GIF, but she accidentally copied the wrong link!

     "This…" Boss Xiong crossed his hands over his slightly plump belly, trying to make his expression look a bit more serious, but the corners of his mouth seemed disobediently trying to curl upwards, "Comrade Bao Xiaoxi, my veteran employee, a 'Top Ox and Horse' with twelve years of tenure… can you explain to me when our company transitioned into animal husbandry? Or specialized breeding?"

Bao Xiaoxi adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and forced a calm demeanor: "Boss Xiong, this is a… well… a new-era marketing strategy! Look, the engagement data is ten times that of a regular Weibo post! Everyone is so happy!"

"Happy?!" Boss Xiong tried hard to keep a straight face, but the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes betrayed his desire to laugh. "Investors just called me, asking if I was under too much pressure and needed a break. He even recommended a good psychiatrist to me!"

     He stood up, paced twice in his messy office, picked up a half-eaten sandwich, and then put it back down.

"Xiaoxi, you’ve been with me for twelve years, and I know you’re reliable. But this time… this time it’s really ‘top-tier,’ isn’t it?" He couldn't help but use the company's slang. "We’re a tech company, not a circus! Although… that alpaca does run quite happily."

     Bao Xiaoxi saw her boss's expression, wanting to scold but unable to stop himself from laughing, and her courage grew. "Boss Xiong, the effect has been achieved! Look, everyone remembers our 'Top Ox and Horse'! Next annual meeting, we can consider actually inviting one."

"You want to invite another one?!" Boss Xiong finally broke, pointing at her with a wry smile, "You, you! Go quickly and issue a correction statement for me! Say that… that the editor has a brand new, cross-species understanding of the 'ox and horse spirit'!"

"Understood, boss!" Bao Xiaoxi stood at attention, ready to slip away.

     "Wait!" Boss Xiong called out to her, and miraculously pulled a box of lozenges from a pile of takeout containers, handing them to her. "I see you’ve been coughing these past two days, take these. You’re not young anymore, don’t always stay up late, your hair… uh…" He glanced at Bao Xiaoxi’s flat top, swallowed back "you’re almost bald," and changed his words, "…take care of your health."

     Bao Xiaoxi took the candy, suppressing a laugh: "Thank you, Boss! I promise there won’t be a next time… unless the data is exceptionally good!"

"Get out, get out!" Boss Xiong waved his hand dismissively.

     Bao Xiaoxi slipped out of the office. Xiong Wei sat back in his chair, couldn't resist clicking on that Weibo post again, looked at the galloping alpaca, and burst out laughing. Then he quickly straightened his face and muttered to himself, "What nonsense… but the likes are really numerous… sigh!"

     Meanwhile, Bao Xiaoxi, outside the door, returned to her desk and quietly changed her computer wallpaper to the image of the running alpaca, with the caption: "Top Ox and Horse, mission accomplished!"
