At the end of the novel the secret of his rebirth and who stands behind the space is revealed and he is offered a choice again - personal immortality away from his home or a normal mortal life with his family. He again choses his fam.

It's about him hiring staff for his tiny juice joint where he sells freshly squeezed juices.

The first thing that was off was his ageism and maybe sexism, prejudice against women who are barely ten years older than him. He refuses to hire and pay good wages to women as young as forty years old! They are like unattractive old grannies in his mind and he is thirty himself! They only deserve low pay in his mind (2.5K yuan vs 5K yuan per month to the twenty years old pretty employees), and he feels that they will not be attractive to his customers who are, by the way, school kids, elderly, sick people who need medicinal juices, and white collar workers from nearby offices.

And the second thing was working conditions for his employees. 8-9 hours a day work, no formal breaks, and no days off whatsoever!!! 365 days a year! WTF??? Is this even human? That was how his wife worked in his first life, no days off, and that is why she eventually died from overwork. Coincidentally, at the age of forty! He himself lived until he was eighty or so.
