50. 50 我 I’m a Township Civil Servant 我是乡镇公务员 Old Wooden Blade老木刀Urban3.1M WordsCompleted Zhang Hua is a low-ranking township civil servant who only wants to do his job without getting involved in anyone else’s business. He is the unluckiest man, yet also the luckiest; the loneliest, yet has the most friends; the poorest, yet never short of a little spending money. He most wants to be an ostrich, yet somehow has more than his share of trouble. He has no desire to become an official, yet there is always a position waiting for him. His life is full of one contradiction after another. M 45.3kReads9.0Score5.7k14d adds
