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

the next day.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Inside the municipal party committee office, the others had already begun their busy day.

The sounds of files being turned and keyboards being typed rose and fell.

Only in that corner, at the workstation belonging to the newly appointed director of the Enterprise Reform Office, was there no workspace.

Lin Yu was still in bed at that moment.

In my sleep.

In his dream, he finally got Liang Wenyuan's resignation approval and headed south without looking back.

With the spring breeze of reform and opening up, I, Hu Hansan, have arrived!

In the 1990s, the South was a land of opportunity.

Speculating in stocks, trading treasury bonds, hoarding land.

A small goal of 100 million is easily achieved.

then.

A large villa, a small Mercedes-Benz.

A mature woman on her left, an office lady secretary on her right, and a little girl who just turned eighteen in her arms.

That's how life should be—it's so beautiful!

Lie flat!

Slack off!

Be a salted fish!

Hey...

...

"Bang bang bang!"

The loud knocking on the door pulled Lin Yu from his sweet dream.

He suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the familiar ceiling of the guesthouse, and felt completely numb.

曰！

...

When Lin Yu yawned and strolled leisurely into the office.

The clock on the wall has already pointed to ten o'clock.

Swish-!

The entire office, all sound, came to an abrupt halt.

A barrage of complex gazes were cast in unison.

Awe, envy, jealousy, and a strong sense of gossip.

Lin Yu ignored this.

but.

He could clearly hear the suppressed whispers behind him as he walked toward his workstation, like a fuse being lit.

"See? They're only arriving at ten o'clock!"

"Wow! Since our unit was established, has any division-level cadre ever dared to come to work at this hour?"

"Division-level? You're too narrow-minded! That person is under Mayor Liang's protection; how can you compare them?"

"This isn't just protecting her; I've read those novels online, this is called favoritism, this is called pampering! Have you heard? It's all over the place!"

"What are you spreading?"

"They say he... is Mayor Liang's illegitimate son who lived away from home!"

"Holy crap! Really?"

"The version I heard wasn't this one. It said that when Mayor Liang went to the countryside years ago, he owed a girl a debt of gratitude, and this is her grandson, who has come looking for him!"

"Wow—! This is even more explosive than an illegitimate child!"

Every word of these comments reached Lin Yu's ears.

He stumbled and almost lost his balance.

illegitimate child?

The grandson of a debt of love?

You guys have gone this far with the rumors! Your imaginations are running wild! You're wasting your talent not writing novels!

but……

Lin Yu felt not angry at all, but rather wanted to laugh.

You can say whatever you want.

If I get even a little angry, I'll admit defeat!

The more outrageous the rumor, the better!

In any case, Liang Wenyuan, that old fox, will have to take the blame in the end!

...

Lin Yu walked to his workstation with a clear conscience.

He ignored everyone's probing gaze.

He leisurely took out his personal enamel mug, grabbed a handful of Longjing tea leaves that Zhou Quan had swiped from his office, and sauntered off to the water room.

Wait for him to come back.

Brew a pot of hot tea.

A copy of today's Jiangcheng Daily is laid out.

He crossed his legs, just like that.

He leaned back in his chair, relaxed and carefree, thoroughly enjoying himself.

This!

He fucking bastard!

That's life!

This is fucking ridiculous!

That's what work is all about!

What a load of bullshit! What kind of "director of the enterprise reform office" is he?! What kind of "hope for the whole city" is he?!

Get the hell out of here!

Today, I'm here to slack off! I'm here to take it easy!

You disagree?

If you're not happy about that, why don't you become the mayor's dad too!

The entire office fell into an eerie silence.

Director Wang watched this scene, and the thermos in his hand trembled.

Old Liu's face turned pale and then red, and his eyes were practically overflowing with jealousy.

This is beyond insanity!

This is like rubbing everyone's faces into the ground!

They treat the rules and regulations of the municipal party committee like toilet paper!

But no one dared to utter a single word.

Because they have nothing to fear.

Because the mayor is his precious darling!

...

The whole day passed leisurely in this eerie atmosphere.

After finishing the newspaper, Lin Yu took out a copy of "Story Collection" from an unknown era from the drawer and read it with great interest.

During this period, Director Wang received no fewer than ten phone calls, all from various bureaus and offices, and even from districts and counties below, all wanting to visit "Director Lin".

Lin Yu dismissed them all with excuses like "I don't have time," "I can't see you," and "I'm very busy."

Is he busy?

He's busy reading story magazines.

Lin Yu was in an extremely pleasant mood.

He wanted to use this most direct and arrogant way to tell Liang Wenyuan.

I quit!

You want to weld me to this city? No way!

If you don't let me have a good time, you won't have a good time either!

Let's just keep this up!

Let's see who breaks down first!

The clock on the wall was about to strike five.

The workday bell is still ringing in my ears.

The people in the office began to pack up their things, preparing to wrap up their workday.

Lin Yu stretched, closed the magazine "Story Club", picked up the tea that had lost its flavor, and drank it all in one gulp.

A perfect day.

Just as he was humming a little tune, preparing to be the first kid in the whole unit to rush out the door.

"Bang!"

The office door was suddenly pushed open by a tremendous force.

That familiar sound.

That familiar force.

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He turned around abruptly.

Two familiar figures rushed in like a gust of wind.

Li Datou!

Wang Jianguo!

Behind them followed a stranger in his fifties, wearing faded blue overalls, with a wrinkled face and a troubled expression.

How similar this situation is!

A buzzing sound went through Lin Yu's mind.

It’s over.

Again!

Those two scoundrels!

You've destroyed my resolve! You've ruined my future! Is this never going to end?!

Lin Yu panicked completely.

as predicted.

next second.

Li Datou and Wang Jianguo, leading the stranger, rushed to Lin Yu's desk in one swift motion.

then.

To the astonishment of everyone in the office.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Three muffled thuds, all in unison.

No!

Are you guys crazy?!

I knelt down.

He fucking knelt down again!

They even offered a buy-two-get-one-free deal! I'm so impressed!

Are you fucking treating kneeling as a KPI for clocking in at work?!

Lin Yu also glanced around.

In the office, one after another, people watched with amused eyes.

At the entrance, one head after another craned out.

Of course, it had to be at this time.

It was intentional, wasn't it?

Absolutely, absolutely, damn it, it was intentional.

This is the time when there are the most people, and also the most free time.

What he didn't notice was that he was at the very back of the crowd.

Zhou Quan, the chief secretary, chuckled with a hint of excitement at having done something wrong.

Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly how we should do it.

Understand the mayor, become the mayor.

I am a huge fan of the mayor!
