The Unlucky One Strikes Back: I Turn Subtext into a Cheat

With a master’s degree in agricultural science, Zhou Yanning is “exiled” to the dead-end Agricultural Machinery Bureau. From the start, he seems to have landed in the worst possible situation. But he has an advantage no one knows about: he can hear everyone’s unspoken thoughts. From then on, his bosses gain a “most considerate” subordinate, while his coworkers see a young man with absurdly good luck. Every trap hidden in polite small talk becomes a stepping stone for him. Watch as this “unlucky guy,” tossed into a corner, rises through the ranks by listening to what people really mean and becomes a pillar of the nation.
