[A clear-headed caretaker of cats in the human world x a romantic rookie in the workplace] Lin Lu You had always been the model of a well-behaved girl, but in her senior year of college, she decided to rebel for once. She abandoned the finance major she had studied for three years and threw herself into the world of operations, becoming a bona fide data worker.
