Officialdom: From Junior Clerk to the Peak of Power

I gave up a brilliant future for my girlfriend,

only to get “You have no ambition” in return.

Fine. I’ll show everyone what ambition looks like.

When my family inheritance is released,

when I set foot on the road to success,

her civil-servant boyfriend’s career advancement

will be cut short with a flick of my hand.

Those who once looked down on me can only bow and call me “sir.”

And this is only the first step toward the pinnacle of power.
