It's so beautiful. This is the god of rules. Everything else is just a combination of rules and regulations. What are you doing when you work overtime every day and still do official business?
The book is a good read, but the author seems to have been drinking. One moment the director was cleaning the toilet, another moment he was in his original position, the next moment the meeting ended and he left the venue, and in the next chapter he was still having the same meeting. This chapter talks about being seconded to prepare for moving, and the next chapter talks about staying there for three days and so on. But the book is really good 👍
Workplace veteran, bureaucratic fox? In the face of absolute rules, they are all paper tigers!
The content is reasonable, and the protagonist so far has been doing things according to the "rules." The logic is strict and the content is self-consistent. It is suitable for readers who like to read detective novels or logic novels. It is highly recommended for "high climax".
It's a good read, the story is compact and not laggy, and it's enjoyable from beginning to end. The protagonist avenges his grievances on the spot and does not wait overnight. He is not the kind of doormat with cool writing at all. It is particularly friendly to the breast and heart. I recommend it. We cowboys and horses just need to read this kind of super invincible and refreshing articles to have the strength to live a life.
I like this kind of protagonist who doesn't have any emotional ties to get entangled with, and there is no restraint but he is all positive. It's so cool.
Uncle and nephew? Not uncle and nephew?
Did the author make a mistake in the document settings? I uploaded 40 chapters at once today. It's so exciting to read.
In reality, do rules really work in front of the background? 😂
The storyline is not great, but the creativity is perfect
