I Just Want to Be a Minor Official 我只想当个小官
I don't have any grand ambitions. I just want a quiet, stable life. I don't have big goals, either; I just want to look after my own little patch of land. But the times have changed. In this world, truth and lies are mixed together, and black and white have become indistinguishable. They even call working 996 a blessing. That's beyond ridiculous. I really don't want to keep slogging away at 996 anymore. I might as well take a chance and get out of this rat race!
