Yip’s novella was written to be highly relatable for professionals who feel dissatisfied due to the greed and ruthlessness of higher-ups. As a former financial industry professional, Yip drew from his own experience in authoring this story about power-hungry bosses constantly attempting to bully their underlings.
The book’s main antagonist Wolf, kills Monkey - the leader of the meek rank-and-file workers, in an attempt to steal the virtuous primate's key to the office’s vast riches.
