You Asked Me to Manage Tazhai, but I Got the Whole Village to Lie Flat?

When Chen Dong opened his eyes, he was reborn. In his previous life, he had been a workaholic, grinding away from his days as a small-town exam ace until he became a senior engineer, and insisting on sleeping only five hours a day.

Years of punishing work left him suffering from illness in his later years, and he eventually died in a hospital bed.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the time of his university graduation. He had also been selected for an official program and made a village official, put in charge of managing Tazhai Village.

In this life, he decided to lie flat. Not only would he lie flat, he would lead the whole village in lying flat!

Reporter: "Other villages are working hard to develop. Why do you have feasts every day?"

Chen Dong: "Isn't all that hard work for the sake of having enough to eat and wear? Tell me, which village eats better than we do right now?"

Reporter: "You're living off your reserves! This is lazy behavior! You're ruining the villagers' lives!"

Villager A, holding a large bone: "Bullshit! Ever since Village Chief Chen arrived, our lives have been ten thousand times better!"

Villager B: "Even if Village Chief Chen leaves and we go back to how things were, we won't blame him."

Villager C: "Let those so-called experts farm this land!"
