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

"Then let's give it a try."

Liang Wenyuan put down his teacup, making the final decision.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was reassuring.

Zhou Quan's tense body visibly relaxed.

It became.

He looked at Liang Wenyuan, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Don't underestimate Lin Yu, that scoundrel, who unwittingly took his place.

But isn't this also the mayor giving him a chance to make things easier?

An opportunity to break free from the shackles of the "secretary" identity, truly go down to the grassroots level, hold real power, and make a name for oneself.

Qinghe County is poor and rotten.

But it is precisely because of poverty and decay that political achievements are made!

In a sense, he now bears the deepest imprint of the mayor.

He is the mayor's outstretched tentacle, an extension of the mayor's will at the grassroots level.

Tonight's detailed and clear report is nothing short of asking the mayor to sharpen his blade!

Lin Yu?

In Zhou Quan's mind, the image of the young man clinging to his leg, crying his eyes out, flashed before his eyes.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Good brother.

Whether your brother can eat meat in Qinghe County from now on depends on you.

...

Zhou Quan is gone.

They left quietly and silently.

There was no farewell party, no send-off banquet, and he didn't even say goodbye to anyone in the office.

It was as if he had just gone downstairs for a smoke and never returned.

the next day.

When the news spread like wildfire through the government building.

Everyone was stunned.

The thermos that Director Wang had just bought fell to the ground with a clatter, spilling scalding hot tea all over the floor.

Old Liu, sitting in the corner, had a cigarette butt burning his lips, making him jolted.

Grass!

Holy crap!

Zhou Quan, Secretary Zhou.

So, he was demoted?

In its place is Lin Yu!

This is fucking ridiculous!

This guy became the mayor's secretary!

For a moment, everyone in the General Office had only one swear word on their minds.

They looked at Lin Yu's empty workstation, and then thought about the 1.2 million yuan that had been dumped into the mayor's office.

Jealousy? Envy?

No.

It's about questioning the meaning of life.

They suddenly felt that all the years they had spent working seemed to have been wasted.

.....

in the afternoon.

Lin Yu struggled to get up from the chicken coop-like bed.

The aftereffects of a hangover.

It made his head buzz and the world spin.

He staggered into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, his face pale and his eyes dark.

Just thinking about last night, Zhou Quan's face was filled with "hopelessness".

Lin Yu's heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

It’s over.

This has really offended them.

No, I have to talk to that old fox Liang Wenyuan today!

We must bring Zhou Quan back!

With a sense of tragic grandeur, as if saying "If I don't go to hell, who will?", he arrived late and sauntered into the office building.

just.

As he habitually walked towards his window-side workstation, ready to begin his day's slacking off.

Director Wang rushed forward as if he had seen a ghost, and blocked his way.

"Director Kobayashi."

Director Wang looked more uncomfortable than if he were constipated. "You, you've come to the wrong place."

Lin Yu was taken aback.

"That's right, my workstation is right here."

Director Wang's face twitched.

He raised his hand, almost in a pilgrimage-like gesture, and pointed tremblingly to the end of the corridor.

The entrance to the mayor's office.

That position previously belonged to Zhou Quan, symbolizing supreme power and the mayor's absolute confidant.

"Your workstation has been moved there."

What the heck!

Lin Yu looked in the direction he was pointing.

The familiar desk, the familiar chair, only now the things on them have changed to his signature enamel mug and the unfinished copy of "Story Collection".

Lin Yu's mind went blank.

Is there no mistake?

They've already moved their workstations!

Did you have to move so fast!

"Where's Zhou Quan? Where's Brother Quan?!"

Lin Yu grabbed Director Wang's arm, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Director Wang was startled and stammered in response.

"Secretary Zhou..."

"He went to Qinghe County last night to take up his post."

...

kindness--!?

Lin Yu was stunned.

gone?

They just left like that?

overnight?

He had considered that Zhou Quan would leave, would depart, and would reluctantly hand over his work to him.

By the way, teach yourself what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do.

At the very least, I should leave a phone number so I can keep in touch and clear his name!

They're leaving already?

What the hell am I supposed to do?!

and also……

What exactly is a secretary supposed to do?

I've never done that before!

Lin Yu sat at the brand-new desk outside the mayor's office.

People are confused.

My heart is cold.

Looking at the desk in front of him, which was a whole size bigger than his previous one, he felt no joy whatsoever.

I just feel...

It's comfortable.

As long as the door inside doesn't open and that old fox doesn't call him, theoretically he has nothing to do with it.

But damn it, what's the difference between this and going to jail?

Ring ring—!

The red telephone on the table suddenly rang.

Lin Yu was startled and almost jumped off his chair.

He stared at the constantly ringing phone, his palms starting to sweat.

Answer or not answer?

Who the hell is that?

What if they're looking for Liang Wenyuan?

What if they're looking for him, their "new secretary"?

He hesitated for a full half minute, seeing that the ringing showed no sign of stopping.

Lin Yu steeled his heart, closed his eyes, and grabbed the microphone.

"Feed?"

His voice carried a hint of nervousness that he himself was unaware of.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, a steady, somewhat polite middle-aged male voice came through.

"Are you Secretary Lin? I'm Old Wang from the Municipal Construction Commission."

Municipal Construction Commission? Old Wang?

The top leader?

Lin Yu's mind raced.

"Oh, Director Wang, hello."

"Oh, Secretary Lin, you're too kind!" A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone. "Well, we've made some adjustments to the planning scheme for that plot of land in the east of the city overnight, and we'd like to report it to the mayor. Is this a convenient time for you, Mayor?"

Lin Yu glanced subconsciously at the tightly closed wooden door.

convenient?

How the hell am I supposed to know if it's convenient for him?!

"The mayor... is busy." Lin Yu forced himself to say, quoting a standard line he'd seen in a TV drama.

"Oh, okay, okay, I won't bother you any longer. When is a convenient time for me to call back?"

Lin Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable with the other party's attitude.

I hung up the phone.

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.

This is... power?

A bureau-level official was gentle and humble in his presence.

It was as if Lin Yu was the one who could control their destiny.

This feeling is definitely a bit intoxicating.

but!

No!

Lin Yu shook his head violently, banishing that dangerous thought.

He remembered his original aspiration!

A small goal of 100 million!

A large villa! A small Mercedes!

On the left is a mature and sophisticated woman, on the right is a knowledgeable office lady secretary, and in the middle lies a little girl who has just turned eighteen!

This is life!

This is the kind of life Lin Yu should be living!

We must not be corrupted!

We absolutely cannot be bribed by that old fox Liang Wenyuan with such a paltry sum!

He wants to resign!

He must resign!

We need to do something big again!

Lin Yu's gaze gradually hardened.

He opened the drawer, looking for a piece of paper to rewrite his resignation letter.

then.

"Secretary Lin."

who!

Who the hell is that?!

Those two scoundrels, Li Datou and Wang Jianguo?!
