你好高考
On the last day of August 10, 2019, the deadline for college admission notices, Yi Zhanyan, a courier from the "Extreme Speed" company, rushed to the company to work, only to find that the boss was running away with the money. The salary is also gone. The employees of the company divided the company on the spot and took office supplies as their own, which can be regarded as consolation money for compensation for wage arrears. Yi Zhanyan, who is also a victim, asked the employees for the college admission notices that they failed to issue in time.
