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

"Secretary Lin, Mayor Liang asked me to..."

Lin Yu's ears were ringing.

Yao Tao's voice seemed to come from another world, indistinct and distant.

His gaze, however, was fixed on Li Datou and Wang Jianguo, those two scoundrels.

It’s over.

That was the only thought in his mind.

This brand new dungeon just opened, and it's already gone? Is it over? Is it finished?

No, I'm so unwilling to accept this!

No.

still have a chance!

Lin Yu's will to survive was screaming wildly.

As long as Li Dakang doesn't believe me! As long as he insists I'm just joking around! As long as he treats me like a madman and kicks me out!

There's still hope for me!

He turned his head sharply, casting his last, pleading glance at Li Dakang.

Comrade Dakang! Hang in there!

You're the mayor of Hanjiang! Show some backbone!

Don't let these five million in sweet words defeat you!

however.

Yao Tao didn't give him that chance.

Under everyone's gaze, the junior assistant from the city government office turned around and took out a document from his briefcase.

A document sealed in a kraft paper bag, with the heading "Jiangcheng Municipal People's Government Office" printed on it.

Then, in front of everyone, she handed the document to Lin Yu.

"Secretary Lin, Mayor Liang asked me to bring this to you."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the corridor.

"This is a compilation based on your previous remarks during a special report at the provincial government."

"Planning Recommendations on Exploring Sustainable Development of Resource-Based Cities, Taking Hanjiang City as an Example".

"This document has been officially submitted to the Provincial Government Office in the name of our Jiangcheng Municipal Government."

Yao Tao paused, then looked up. Her eyes, red and swollen from crying, now shone with an almost worshipful light.

"The governor personally issued the instructions."

"Go ahead and do it boldly, do it well!"

Boom(ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!(꒪Д꒪)ノ

Lin Yu's mind went blank.

Holy shit.

fuck!

Holy crap!

"Planning Recommendations on Exploring Sustainable Development of Resource-Based Cities, Taking Hanjiang City as an Example"?

What the hell is this thing?

When did I say that?

and many more...

Provincial government report...

"Make a hundred million from him, then relax and do nothing."

"Sustainable circular development".

"Industrial upgrading".

"Resource exchange".

.....

fuck!

Lin Yu's vision went black.

That was just a junk he made up on the spot, a hodgepodge of bits and pieces, just to get rid of Li Dakang, that plague...

Liang Wenyuan!

It's that old idiot Liang Wenyuan again!

He actually wrote all of those words down!

They even polished and packaged it into a formal report!

They even handed it over in the name of the Jiangcheng Municipal Government!

Is this something a human being would do?

Are you using my words to take credit for yourself?

Are you using the mess along the Han River as a testing ground for your political achievements in Jiangcheng?

You fucking...

Lin Yu's chest heaved violently, and a mouthful of blood choked in his throat, almost causing a bloodbath to erupt on the spot.

But that's not all.

Yao Tao looked at the Hanjiang cadres around her who were completely petrified, and at Li Dakang whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and a smile appeared on her lips.

She gently delivered the final blow.

"Oh, by the way, Mayor Liang also asked me to tell you."

"Just before we arrived, Director Luo from the Provincial Party Committee Office called us personally."

He said that the document had been delivered to the emperor through confidential channels.

Heavens... listen...

These two words, like two nuclear bombs, exploded in the minds of everyone in the corridor!

Whether it was Li Dakang, Secretary Liu, or those leaders who stood at the office door craning their necks to watch the spectacle, it was all happening.

Their eyes widened and their mouths gaped open, unable to believe their ears.

A document.

Jiangcheng submitted it.

Not only did the provincial governor personally approve it.

And damn it, it goes straight to the ears of Heaven!

What does this mean?

Everyone present knew exactly what was going on.

This means you're backing them up!

It's the provincial government, or even higher levels, that's backing up this young man named Lin Yu!

It's favoritism! It's pampering!

For an instant.

Everyone's gaze instantly shifted from the document in Yao Tao's hand to Li Dakang's face.

That look in his eyes was incredibly complex.

There was shock, sympathy, and a hint of... schadenfreude.

Li Dakang's expression was beyond just looking ugly.

He felt like this was the start of a public execution.

He gradually came to his senses.

Besides embarrassment and shame, his face also showed an overwhelming anger and resentment that he had nowhere to vent.

it is good!

well!

You, Liang Wenyuan!

You thick-browed, big-eyed bastard who always talks about "the big picture"!

Use our Han River crisis as a case study for your river city!

This will add luster to Liang Wenyuan's performance report!

Rather!

And yet, I can't even retaliate!

What could he say?

Are you saying the governor's instructions are wrong?

To say that this document, which is supposed to reach the highest levels of government, is utter nonsense?

He dares not!

He glanced again at the two piles of money on the ground, which reeked of money.

Then look at Li Datou and Wang Jianguo kneeling on the ground, their faces saying, "Our Director Lin is awesome."

Let's take another look at Yao Tao, who has shrimp and pork heart.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Yu, who looked utterly hopeless and whose soul seemed to have left his body.

Li Dakang clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

It loosened, then tightened again.

Damn it...

What the hell did our Hanjiang City do?!

Lin Yu had given up thinking.

He stared blankly at the absurd scene before him.

He felt he wasn't alone.

He is a giant magnet.

From Jiangcheng to the Han River, everyone he encountered was iron.

One by one, they racked their brains, crying and begging, trying to get close to him.

You can't shake them off!

"Director Kobayashi!"

Li Datou, who was kneeling on the ground, finally realized what was happening.

He suddenly leaped to his feet, his face transforming from fanatical worship into near-mad pride.

He snatched the document from Yao Tao's hand and held it high, as if displaying some sacred artifact.

He raised his arms and shouted to the Han River workers around him who were stunned.

"Did you see that?!"

"This is our Director Lin!"

"Problems that your mayor can't solve, our Director Lin can!"

"If Hanjiang can't afford it, Jiangcheng will!"

"The responsibilities that you on the Han River dare not shoulder, we on the Jiangcheng River will shoulder!"

"Now! Even the provincial governor and the provincial governor have spoken!"

He turned around abruptly, looking at the worker representative who had previously been bruised and bleeding from his head with a look of disappointment mixed with pity.

"What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"What else do you not believe?"

The worker representative's face flushed red and then turned pale.

He glanced at the documents in Li Datou's hand, then at the pile of money on the ground, and finally, his gaze fell on Lin Yu's face, which had lost all expression.

Shame, regret, lingering fear...

A mix of emotions welled up inside me.

He knelt down again with a "plop".

This time, it wasn't directed at Lin Yu.

Instead, they headed towards Jiangcheng, towards the provincial capital.

"I was wrong! We were wrong!"

As he spoke, he slapped himself hard across the face.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

"We were blind to his greatness! We shouldn't have doubted Advisor Lin!"

"We're bastards! We're not human!"

With him taking the lead.

Downstairs, the workers who had initially been agitated gradually came to understand what had happened upstairs.

The atmosphere shifted from anger to silence, and finally, it transformed into a more turbulent wave, a mixture of guilt and ecstasy.

"Advisor Lin! We were wrong!"

Please forgive us!

"Please save our Hongqi Factory!"

The sound waves rose higher and higher.

The entire Hanjiang City Government compound was transformed into a large, magical, collective confession site.

And Li Dakang stood right in the center of this clamor.

He knew he had no way out.

He took a deep breath, and in that instant, all the resentment, anger, and frustration on his face vanished.

Instead, there was an incredibly complex, yet resolute, stiff smile.

He started walking.

Slowly, step by step, she walked up to Lin Yu.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

The mayor of Hanjiang, who had just been so angry he almost died on the spot, extended his hand to the young man who had wronged him so badly.

His voice was hoarse, yet incredibly clear.

"Comrade Lin Yu."
