  • 太白金星有点烦
    马伯庸
    编辑推荐这是每一个成年人应该重读的西游故事。太白金星李长庚近有点烦。天庭和西天联合推出了'西天取经'的重大项目,他受命策划九九八十一难,确保项目无虞。老神仙本以为一切尽在掌控中,谁知天大的麻烦才刚刚开始。项目过程中,如何报销活动费用?如何写工作汇报?如何平衡不同上级的诉求?如何应对突发状况?如何解决人事纠纷?一系列问题在不改变经典著作《西游记》结局的基础上展开了丰富有趣的职场生态,即便李长庚锦囊无数,也不免常常陷入焦虑。都说神仙要'超脱因果,太上忘情',都说不要在职场里动感情,太白金星却说:'很多人间执念我们无法理解,但不代表那些痛苦就不存在。'即使得了'仙''佛'之号,依旧抛不下一个人字,有人,就有抛不下的牵挂、因果与苦乐得失。打碎无意义的追逐,才是真的得道。延续《长安的荔枝》小开本双封设计,随书附10张著名画家施晓颉所绘创意插图。1.马伯庸备受期...
