Transmigrating to France, but as an Otherworldly Civil Servant

[My dear Arthur, I’m just a fox, featuring a Lan Bo pairing, is complete, with bonus chapters being updated. Click the author’s page to read!] ☆Synopsis: Bai Xingmian studied hard for twenty years, and with a little help from his ancestors’ tomb suddenly becoming a nuclear reactor, he passed the civil service exam and landed a job in the central government. He happily packed up and got ready to start work, but his rented room was too small, full of pirated study materials, and reeked of formaldehyde. Bai Xingmian passed out from the fumes. When he woke up, he had transmigrated to France and gained a special ability. A handsome, mature man stood before him and said, “My name is Charles Baudelaire. I’m here to speak with you on behalf of France. We mean you no harm, but your identity is unusual, and you now have the potential to become a Transcendent. We need to keep you under our supervision.” Then the man asked Bai Xingmian, “Would you be willing to join the French government and become one of us?” Wait. First, he needed to check what nationality he had in this life... Japanese! Great, the choice was already made for him! Haha! He’d drawn the same result again! * Bai Xingmian settled in France and became Baudelaire’s student, provisionally. He had a dazzling future ahead of him, but the psychological damage from the way he died in his previous life was still dogging him. That night, Bai Xingmian gazed up at the stars with tears in his eyes and swore, “I need lots and lots of money, and lots and lots of love!” The next morning, Bai Xingmian said, “We can talk about love later. Teacher Baudelaire, lend me some of the money you borrowed. I have a use for it.” Bai Xingmian: “Please, teacher. You’re the best.” Baudelaire, who had eavesdropped the night before: ??? Is this how you get money? Isn’t he going too far...? Stop crying, stop crying! I’ll give you the money, all right? * There were a few things Baudelaire couldn’t understand. All he had done was briefly guide Bai Xingmian when he first started working, willingly emptied most of his own savings and those of his friends when Bai Xingmian needed funding, and stepped in to defend him when others targeted him... In short, he’d only done what any good mentor should do. Yet Bai Xingmian fell in love with him. Well, what could he do? He couldn’t reject him, could he? Bai Xingmian would be so hurt! Other colleagues: Tell us the truth. Baudelaire: I lent Bai Xingmian so much money, and he won’t pay me back unless I become his boyfriend. Sigh, what can I do? Baudelaire: Sigh, love. Sigh, sunk costs. Other colleagues: ...You borrowed even more money from other people, didn’t you? How come none of them became your boyfriend? Is it really so hard to admit you fell in love with him? Bonus scene: Years later, Bai Xingmian told a reporter, “A lot of people envy what I’ve achieved and want to know how I did it, but I’m the only one who knows the spicy, savory, and sweet flavors of the journey...” Reporter: “Haha, actually, we all know.” Bai Xingmian: “I’ve had a hard life, you know. I’m so obsessed with making money because of my past. As everyone knows, you spend your whole life making up for a terrible childhood...” Reporter: “You were doxxed ages ago. Your childhood was unbelievably happy, and you don’t have any trauma at all!” Bai Xingmian: “I was traumatized by being poor! And by not getting enough love!!!” Reporter: “You’ve been rich since you were a kid! The Bai family’s money is all yours! And now you have a boyfriend! Plus more money than you can spend!
