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

director!

You've become a director so easily!

Even a rocket couldn't propel you forward as fast!

How long has this jerk been the executive deputy leader of the temporary task force?

Two days!

In less than two days, he got promoted!

boom--!

The entire office, along with the heads craning their necks to watch the drama unfold at the door, froze in shock.

All eyes were fixed on Lin Yu.

Shock, bewilderment, disbelief.

Most importantly, they hadn't forgotten what that little bastard Lin Yu had just done.

A urea bag.

More than 1.2 million yuan in cash.

They carried it into the mayor's office in such a blatant and unreserved manner.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

If they weren't immediately accused of bribery and kicked out, they'd be lucky their ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke.

He even got promoted!

Set up a brand new, formal office and put him in charge!

I've seen outrageous things.

I've never seen anything so outrageous.

This is absolutely outrageous! It's outrageous beyond belief!

in the corner.

Old Liu's face went from gloating to shock, to blankness, then to ashen, and finally to deathly ashes.

He felt as if his worldview was being pressed to the ground and repeatedly rubbed by an invisible hand.

director……

He toiled for half his life before finally becoming a senior cadre.

This young man in his early twenties, he's become a director in less than a week?

Why should I?!

Does he even dare to carry bags of urea into the mayor's office and throw money around?!

The thermos cup slipped from Director Wang's hand again, but he couldn't care less.

He just stared at the young man slumped in the chair, his smile more like a grimace.

My mind went completely blank.

This world is crazy.

...

Faced with the horror that filled the room.

Lin Yu, at the eye of the storm, felt no joy whatsoever.

The cup of Longjing tea he brewed before going to work on the table was still steaming.

But his heart was ice-cold.

It’s over.

Barbie Q is here.

It's been completely sent.

He understood, he knew, that old fox Liang Wenyuan had definitely received the signal he had sent.

Zhou Quan, that man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, must have reported his thoughts and attitudes in detail.

Why?!

Why is that?!

You just won't let me go!

I just want to lie down, be a mascot, drink tea, read the newspaper, and slack off. Is that so hard?

Director of the Enterprise Reform Office?

It sounds impressive.

Lin Yu could tell with his toes that this was a fucking sinkhole!

How many state-owned enterprises in Jiangcheng are barely surviving now?

Hundreds!

Hundreds of thousands of workers are starving and waiting to be fed!

This is hardly the demeanor of a director of an enterprise reform office.

This is clearly the head of the paper-cutting makers!

He's the head of the fire brigade!

Liang Wenyuan was determined to tie him to this broken ship of Jiangcheng, to make him work like a beast of burden until he dies!

No.

No.

I won't do it!

Lin Yu's eyes, which had been empty, slowly began to gather a glimmer of defiance.

You're not letting me leave, are you?

Row.

If you don't make me comfortable, you won't be comfortable either!

I'm quitting!

Hey, just having fun!

Just then.

A bespectacled, well-mannered young man squeezed through the door; he was an officer from the municipal government's logistics office.

He jogged up to Lin Yu, his face beaming and his tone respectful.

"Director Lin, congratulations!"

"Your new office is ready for you. It's on the third floor, formerly used by Vice Mayor Liu. It faces south, has a private bathroom, and the desk, chairs, and sofa are all brand new!"

"When would be a convenient time for you? I'll have someone help you move your things over."

New office?

Third floor?

Was it used by the deputy mayor?

hiss--!

A collective gasp filled the office.

What a treat!

This level of importance is amazing!

It's like riding a rocket and flying upwards!

Everyone looked at Lin Yu, their eyes filled with an extremely complex mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

however.

Lin Yu merely raised his eyelids slightly and leaned back lazily in his chair.

then.

He uttered two words.

"Don't move."

The sound wasn't loud.

But it was like a thunderclap, exploding loudly in the quiet office.

The whole world fell silent.

The smile on the bespectacled officer's face froze instantly.

"what?"

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"Director Lin, what did you say?"

I said, I'm not moving.

Lin Yu crossed his legs, swung them around, and looked completely indifferent.

He even solemnly looked around his workstation, which was less than two square meters in size.

"I think this place is fine."

"Look, there's plenty of natural light and good air circulation. My colleagues and neighbors get along well and have a harmonious relationship."

"Most importantly, feng shui is good for people."

Glasses Officer: "..."

Director Wang: "..."

Old Liu and everyone in the office: "..."

You fucking call this corner, which can't even reach the window and is crammed together like a sardine can, good lighting and feng shui?

Do you have some misunderstanding about Feng Shui?

Everyone has gone mad.

Is this kid crazy?!

That was an office personally arranged by the mayor!

It was used by the deputy mayor!

You think you can just say you won't move out and then you won't?

What are they doing?

This is a blatant and public slap in the face to the mayor!

"Director Lin..."

The bespectacled officer was sweating profusely, and his voice was trembling.

"This...this was personally approved by Mayor Liang, you see..."

"The mayor is very busy, so don't bother him with such a trivial matter."

Lin Yu waved his hand, picked up his teacup, blew away the foam on top, and gave off a smug look that said, "I'm very considerate of my boss."

"I work right here."

"Good."

That's all.

He ignored everyone else and, to his own delight, began to savor the tea that was almost cold.

in the office.

A deathly silence.

Everyone stared at Lin Yu as if he were a monster.

mad!

That's insane!

This isn't just audacious; it's downright blatant disregard for the heavens!

He dared to openly challenge the mayor less than ten minutes after taking office!

It’s over.

It's over now.

The crowd, who had just been filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, now looked at Lin Yu with nothing but pity and sympathy.

This kid's dead meat.

Even Jesus couldn't save him, I'm telling you!

The bespectacled officer stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay, his face turning a deep purplish-red.

In all his years in the industry, he has never seen anything like this!

Just when the atmosphere in the entire office was so awkward it was about to explode.

"Ring ring—!"

The red telephone on the desk rang sharply once again.

That voice seemed to possess a magical power.

It made everyone's heart skip a beat.

Director Wang was the closest, and he practically pounced on the phone, grabbing it with both hands and feet.

His hands were trembling.

"Hello? Hello, this is the Municipal Party Committee Office..."

I don't know what they said on the other end of the phone.

Director Wang's eyes widened even more.

The expression on his face changed from tension to fear, and then to a blank stare.

"Ah? Secretary Zhou?"

"Yes, yes! Director Lin is here! He's right next to me!"

"You said, let him do whatever he wants!"

"What?!"

Director Wang suddenly let out a distorted scream and loosened his grip.

With a "click".

The telephone receiver slipped from his hand, bounced twice on the table, and dangled in mid-air, swaying gently.

Is this what it means to be favored and therefore fearless?!
