Deputy Division Chief Is Just the Beginning

Xu Cheng retired from an ordinary civil-service post. Looking back on his life, he had ambition but no knack for navigating office politics. Since he never earned his superiors’ trust, he had spent his years achieving little, ending up with nothing but a modest income and regrets. Reborn, he returned to the pivotal years when his career in government was just beginning. No longer naive, he understood the rules of the system and the ways of the world. This time, he wasn’t after a hollow reputation. He wanted real power. With one hand, he seized opportunities and held on to power; with the other, he laid plans for the future and built his wealth. Step by step, he would rise to the top of the political world and claim the luxuries of everyday life, make up for the regrets of half a lifetime, and become the man he wanted to be!
