Officialdom: Reborn in the 90s, all I want to do is quit my job and make money.

"Stop it, all of you!"

The rebuke was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

comprehensive.

The mayor's chief secretary.

I poke!

You fucking finally arrived!

If you don't come soon, I'm going to be torn to pieces by these workers right here and now!

Lin Yu was internally screaming, but his face remained calm and composed, even showing a hint of grievance.

He rubbed his wrist, which was a little sore from being pulled by the crowd.

He walked up to Zhou Quan's side.

The mayor's chief secretary looked particularly resentful.

Zhou Quan ignored the two groups of workers facing off, simply nodding slightly to Lin Yu and then gesturing to the side with his eyes.

"Li Datou, Wang Jianguo, and all the workers."

Zhou Quan's voice was calm, yet naturally carried an air of official authority: "The city is already aware of your problem. But standing around here won't solve anything."

"Deputy Team Leader Lin has more important work to do. Could you please let him leave first?"

Li Datou and Wang Jianguo exchanged a glance.

Although they were unwilling, the mayor's chief secretary had personally intervened, so they dared not cause any more trouble.

The crowd reluctantly made way for a narrow passage.

Zhou Quan led Lin Yu to a slightly quieter corner.

"Kobayashi, well done."

Zhou Quan looked at him, his face still expressionless, but his tone carried a hint of approval.

"It's beautifully done."

"Mayor, I am very satisfied."

Lin Yu: "..."

satisfaction?

Satisfied my ass!

You guys are fucking killing me!

"Well... Secretary Zhou, may I... go back now?"

Lin Yu now has only one thought.

Hurry up, get out of this troublesome place at lightning speed.

Let whoever wants to come, come; let whoever wants to manage, manage.

Don't suffer the old man!

All I want to do is quit my job and start my own business, ride the wave of reform and opening up, grow my business bigger and stronger, and make a fortune!

I don't want to be a savior!

Zhou Quan seemed to see through his thoughts and shook his head.

He gestured with his chin toward the group of workers who were staring longingly at him from a distance.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"Do you think they'll just let you, their only lifeline, slip away like this?"

Lin Yu followed his gaze.

Those thousands of eyes were filled with anticipation, anxiety, and a kind of fanaticism akin to that of believers.

As long as he dares to say the word "go".

No doubt.

next second.

They can then lift him up.

They were locked directly in the factory manager's office.

They provided them with three meals a day until their problems were resolved.

"Won't."

Lin Yu squeezed out two words from his throat.

He felt truly drunk.

This world is so damn surreal.

Other reborn individuals either have a system by their side or a spatial ability at their disposal.

Start by buying a few lottery tickets, then stock up on a few cases of Moutai liquor, and then plunge into the stock market. You can make a hundred million yuan with your eyes closed.

Then he married a beautiful and wealthy woman, slapping the face of the pretentious jerk, and thus reached the pinnacle of his life.

How did you end up here?

He started with no special advantages, no beautiful and wealthy woman, and only a secure job in the municipal party committee office.

They finally decided to smash their secure job.

As a result, thousands of hungry mouths were provided right from the start!

It's a forced binding system, the kind where you can't leave until it's resolved!

Is there any reason?

Is there no law left?

Lin Yu's heart sank to the bottom.

He finally understood.

That old fox Liang Wenyuan, assigning him this "Executive Deputy Group Leader" position is not a sign of trust or important appointment.

This is a calculated scheme!

He put him in this position and put him in charge of a textile factory.

Then, there will be steel pipe factories, machine factories, chemical plants...

Dozens of half-dead state-owned enterprises in the city would pounce on him like sharks smelling blood!

He was the bait thrown into the shark tank!

He thought he had completed the newbie village quests, could go back and hand them in, and then continue his slacking off.

Now it seems...

This is a damn continuous mission!

He won't be able to get away with this mess for the rest of his life until he cleans it up!

it is good.

it is good.

it is good.

If this matter isn't resolved, we won't be able to get out of here, right?

If this matter isn't resolved, I can't be a mascot anymore, I can't slack off, and I can't quit my job and start my own business, right?

Row!

You guys are ruthless!

Lin Yu's eyes went from despair to numbness, and finally to a resolute, almost tragic determination.

He took a deep breath, like a martyr about to be executed.

He turned around, ready to walk back into that chaotic vortex.

Isn't it just about solving the problem?

Damn it, I've got it sorted out!

Once all this mess is sorted out, I don't believe Liang Wenyuan can find any other reason to keep me here!

When the time comes, I'll retire gracefully and submit my resignation. Let's see who dares to stop me then!

however.

Just as Lin Yu took a step forward, looking as if he were ready to die for his cause, he was about to be executed.

Zhou Quan, standing behind him, seemed to suddenly remember something and added a sentence.

"Oh, right."

"The mayor said, 'If you handle this well...'"

"Okay, here's a reward for you."

Lin Yu's steps suddenly stopped.

He turned his head stiffly and slowly.

award?

He's almost developed PTSD from those two words now.

The last reward was for this damn "Executive Deputy Team Leader".

What is it this time?

Should we promote him another level?

Let him be the team leader, and Liang Wenyuan be his deputy?

do not!

begging!

I really don't want to be promoted anymore!

Lin Yu's face was filled with resistance and wariness.

But his heart skipped a beat.

What if?

What if this reward isn't a promotion?

Is it money?

Is it a house?

Or...should we just approve his resignation?

Lin Yu's breathing quickened slightly for a moment.

He looked at Zhou Quan's calm, expressionless face, and tentatively, cautiously, began to speak.

"real?"

"...Any reward is fine?"

Zhou Quan looked at his eyes, which lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up slightly.

"real."

"Okay, it's a deal, no take-backs allowed."

That's all.

Turn around.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Zhou Quan, the mayor's chief secretary, might change his mind.

They ran away as if fleeing.

He ran to the middle of the crowd, scanned everyone present, coughed, and cleared his throat.

Only after drawing all their attention to themselves did they continue speaking.

"Fellow workers, I understand your demands."

"This matter is actually very simple."

"As long as you do as I say, you will definitely be able to solve the problem."

Simple?

This matter is actually quite simple!

You're kidding me! If this were simple, the city wouldn't have been having this headache for so long, and this situation wouldn't have arisen now.

However, Lin Yu's ability to resolve Yang Weiguo's matter has already proven his strength and competence.

I suppose the matter concerning the city's No. 1 Textile Factory should, probably, likely be resolved quite easily... right?
