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

The Audi sped along the highway, the scenery outside the window rushing past, just like Lin Yu's heart falling into an abyss.

He leaned back in the seat, motionless, devoid of any soul.

A cold drop of liquid slid down from the corner of her eye.

No.

Those weren't tears.

That was the sound of a heart breaking.

Li Dakang and his secretary, Xiao Liu, flanked him from both sides, barely daring to breathe.

This consultant, Kobayashi, had this expression on his face ever since he left the provincial government, as if his parents had just died.

Li Dakang felt a little uneasy.

He won't really drive someone crazy, will he?

If they get to the Han River and just quit, who will they complain to?

however.

Just as Li Dakang was about to speak and say a few words of comfort,

An unexpected change occurred.

In the corner, Lin Yu was gazing up at the car roof at a 45-degree angle, his eyes vacant and devoid of any soul.

Suddenly, in a very strange way, the corner of his mouth turned up slightly.

Then, the arc became larger and more exaggerated.

Finally, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The laughter sounded particularly jarring and... eerie in the quiet carriage.

Li Dakang: "..."

Secretary Liu: "..."

The two of them looked at each other simultaneously, and both saw the same word in each other's eyes.

Holy crap?

Has this person been driven to a mental breakdown by some kind of trauma?

Little did they know, Lin Yu wasn't crazy.

He's figured it out!

Yes!

Why should I despair? Why should my heart be broken?

I should be fucking happy!

One second ago, I was gazing at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle, my eyes brimming with tears.

The next second, he was as happy as a 300-pound fat man.

Jiangcheng is a strange place!

From that old idiot Liang Wenyuan to that bunch of hotheads like Li Datou and Wang Jianguo, every single one of them was a stumbling block on my path to resigning!

I'm in Jiangcheng, a den of dragons and tigers, a place where ambushes are everywhere!

But what about the Han River?

The Han River is different!

The people there don't know me, Lin Yu! They don't know about my "glorious deeds"!

All they know is that I am a "core advisor" personally selected by the provincial governor and invited by the mayor to visit him three times (although the method was a bit thuggish)!

A prestigious-sounding but actually empty-handed position!

There were no resources, no power, no personnel—absolutely none!

this...

This is a god-given opportunity!

Yes, yes, that's how you play!

Once I reach the Han River, I'm the boss!

Three fires for new officials?

No, I'm just going to lie down and give up!

Don't you guys think I'm awesome?

Row!

I'll let the people of Hanjiang City see for themselves what a mere pretty face really is! What it means to be all show and no substance!

When the time comes, I'll just spout a few random ideas and make them lose everything, down to their last penny.

That old bastard Li Dakang, wouldn't he be crying and begging, having to be carried back to Jiangcheng in a sedan chair?

Do not!

Why send them back to Jiangcheng?

Fire him on the spot! Get out!

Then, I, Lin Yu, will soar freely in the sky and leap freely in the sea!

Head south! Make some money!

Hehehe...

Plan approved!

perfect!

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's smile grew even brighter, his shoulders shaking as if he were about to break into a disco dance in the car.

Li Dakang and his secretary, Xiao Liu, felt a chill run down their spines when they saw him like this.

The two of them silently and imperceptibly shifted their positions towards the car door.

This consultant, Kobayashi...

That's really fucking unique.

.....

the other side.

The Coaster shuttle bus of Jiangcheng Municipal Government slowly drove into the municipal government compound.

The car door opened, and Liang Wenyuan stepped out with a somber expression.

Director Wang, Yao Tao, and others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward to greet them.

"Mayor! You're back!"

"Mayor, how was the meeting? The governor must have been full of praise for Director Lin's report!"

"Yes, yes, where is Director Lin?"

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, their faces beaming with anticipation and a sense of pride.

In their view, Lin Yu going to the provincial capital to give a report was a sure thing of honor!

However, Liang Wenyuan simply waved his hand, forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and sighed heavily.

"Ugh."

This sigh instantly silenced the scene.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

An ominous premonition hung over everyone's hearts.

"Comrade Lin Yu...he..."

Liang Wenyuan's tone was somber and desolate, with a touch of just the right amount of helplessness.

"He was seconded to Mayor Dakang."

"Effective immediately, I will be assigned to Hanjiang City as a core advisor to the 'Nanjiang Province Leading Group for Deepening Reform and Innovation of Development Model,' and will be fully responsible for the pilot work of state-owned enterprise reform in Hanjiang City."

boom!

The news caused an uproar among the crowd.

"What?!" Director Wang exclaimed first, his eyes wide as saucers. "They went to the Han River?!"

"How could this happen! Why did it suddenly go to the Han River?!"

"Our God of Wealth...has been stolen?"

Yao Tao's face turned pale instantly, and she swayed, almost losing her balance.

It’s over.

The sky is falling.

Director Lin is gone, what will happen to Jiangcheng?

What will they do?

In an instant, the city government compound was filled with cries of anguish.

The atmosphere was so tense that anyone who didn't know better would have thought it wasn't just a cadre being transferred, but the death of an emperor.

Looking at the scene before him, Liang Wenyuan's depression caused by the "pain of losing a child" instantly vanished.

Instead, there was a fatherly pride and... a barely perceptible smirk.

You little bastard.

Still trying to run?

Do you think you can get rid of me by escaping to the Han River?

Innocent!

He cleared his throat, looked at the group of distraught subordinates in front of him, and spoke calmly.

"Alright, stop looking so gloomy."

"We must obey the organization's decisions."

"Besides..."

He abruptly changed the subject, a mysterious smile curving his lips.

"He simply went to the Han River, he didn't ascend to heaven."

"If you have any questions about work or life that you can't figure out, you can go to him for help."

Ok?

Everyone was stunned, and their mournful expressions stopped.

What does that mean?

Can I go find him?

Liang Wenyuan didn't explain much. He simply put his hands behind his back, started walking, and prepared to return to his office.

However, after taking only two steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped, turned around, and his gaze fell on Director Wang.

"By the way, Lao Wang."

"Go back and talk to Li Datou from Hongxing Steel Pipe Factory and Wang Jianguo from Qianjin Hardware Factory, those factory directors."

Director Wang instinctively straightened his back: "Mayor, what are your orders?"

Liang Wenyuan looked at him with a meaningful smile on his face, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"For example, their 'Director Lin,' their 'God of Wealth,' has now gone to the Han River to serve as a 'core advisor.'"

"It's quite pitiful to see someone all alone over there, in a place where they don't know anyone."

"Oh, right, Xiao Tao too. Have him write a draft on 'Sustainable Development Cities' and submit it for him."

"That can also be considered an achievement for Jiangcheng."

Wow... this person really knows how to have fun!
