A 500-Yuan Monthly Salary to Guard Heaven's Gate

With a single transfer order, Hong Tianjun, only six months into the job, was sent to the suburbs after offending his superiors. He was put in charge of property management at the Heavenly Court Gardens resettlement complex.

On his first day, the construction company assigned to work with Hong Tianjun threw its connections around and demanded that its own renovation firm be allowed to move in. Instead, a sharp-jawed, monkey-faced outsider publicly gave them a taste of their own medicine.

On the second day, they started inspecting the apartments. A superior showed up, intending to make an example of Hong Tianjun and get revenge, only to discover that the very first homeowner was Leizhenzi.

On the third day, Hong Tianjun stared at his payslip in disbelief. The promised monthly salary of ten thousand yuan had turned out to be just 500 yuan.

Then he saw the white-bearded old man's pancake stall by the entrance. A plain pancake cost fifty yuan! How was anyone supposed to live like this?

The worst of times, the greatest opportunity. Can he stage a successful comeback?
