Male coworker in his thirties, a programmer at Niuma Assembly Corp. Not particularly skilled but a master at brown-nosing, he complained to supervisors about Su Xiao's work attitude after she refused to work overtime. He tried to get her replaced with an intern, but Su Xiao's bug fix secured her permanent position with a higher salary. Resentful, he deliberately fished for information in the company group chat after seeing her vanish on the road, guessing she had found a safehouse. He represents the sycophantic, competitive office culture Su Xiao rejects.
