Synopsis

Ding! You have entered the high-risk workplace instance, The City Hall Chronicles.

Beginner missions triggered:

[Polish the Report]: At the deputy division chief’s hint, show off your “people skills.”

[Gather Intelligence]: “Ferret out” secrets from the ferocious Tax Bureau.

[Take the Fall]: Shoulder the fury of the media and your superiors on behalf of the entire department.

My name is Jiang Che, a genius who can only understand the world literally.

Faced with these challenges, I choose to carry them out in the most direct way possible!

The report becomes a work of art, I obtain the intelligence openly, and I turn the blame into a “declaration of war” and throw it right back!

Old hand Brother Wang: “That bookworm is dead meat.” (Watching the show)

Deputy Division Chief Zhang Tao: “He’s going to bring the whole sky down!” (Horrified)

Division Chief Li Jianguo: “Let him bring it down! I’ll hold up the sky!” (Taking a gamble)

Provincial Inspection Team member Zhou Yi: “Brother, it’s like we’ve known each other forever!” (Found a kindred spirit)

Everyone thinks I’m an idiot, but I know the truth better than anyone.

I just want to do my job as well as I can.

(Inner monologue: Why are they looking at me more and more strangely?)
