The Empress Comes to the Modern Age: I Land a Government Job by Taking Down Bossy CEOs

[Ancient-to-Modern] + [Female Emperor] + [Takes on Arrogant CEOs] + [Satisfying Contrast] + [Turns Her Work Over to the State] When Jiang Zhaoning, the female emperor of Great Yan, opens her eyes after dying, she finds herself in a rented room in an urban village, clutching a payslip showing a monthly salary of 2,300 yuan. “...Where is my empire?” Before she can figure out what is happening, the landlord kicks down the door to demand rent. Then a Maybach pulls up at the end of the alley, and a man in a suit walks over and tosses her a check. “Five million. Come with me.” She was emperor for thirty years. She has seen this tactic of using favors to demand repayment and money to manipulate people ten thousand times at court. It takes her three days to understand modern law, and five to figure out market regulation, tax audits, and labor arbitration. Then she realizes that the men in this city who call themselves “CEOs” do exactly what the corrupt officials of her former dynasty did, only in different clothes. She knows all about dealing with corrupt officials. On the day the first arrogant CEO’s assets are seized, Jiang Zhaoning stands at his door in 9.9-yuan slippers and says calmly, “As a citizen, I’m notifying you that evidence of tax evasion has been turned over to the relevant authorities.” A month later, five companies are under investigation. Officials come to see her. “Comrade Jiang, would you be willing to come work for our department?” Jiang Zhaoning straightens her cuffs. After thirty years of governing a country, she finally has a chance to put her experience to use again.
