Features: The story of this book is set in the highly representative 150-year-old Fortune 500 multinational company, Siemens. Three female graduates from German departments of universities join Siemens Mobile, initially full of faith and dreams for the future, but gradually taking different life paths. The novel portrays the lives of white-collar workers: there is a boss with obsessive-compulsive disorder who steals a mobile phone, and colleagues who expose their privacy in front of the boss to eliminate rivals in layoffs. It reflects the spiritual reality of millions of white-collar workers in Chinese foreign companies, and every reader with similar experiences can find their own shadow in it. In subtle games of power, it embodies all the sadness, sharp pain, and unavoidable life's laughter—because "you are not Siemens."
