After Failing to Coast Through Life, I Had to Get Promoted [The 1970s]

After Xu Qingqing, a corporate drone working 996, died, she transmigrated into the body of another Xu Qingqing in the 1970s, who had just been assigned a job. As soon as she arrived, her boyfriend broke off their engagement, and she was a cannon-fodder character to boot. Fortunately, she had just been assigned a job as an ordinary, bottom-rung clerk in an office. Her few colleagues all had connections of their own. After being worked to death in her previous life, Xu Qingqing had finally been reborn. Now she had a stable job, parents whose circumstances were secure, a steady income, and a cushy position where she could coast until retirement. Xu Qingqing decided she would spend her whole life as an ordinary civil servant, doing the bare minimum. But she never expected that, after setting out to coast through life, simply taking one fewer nap would earn her the attention and promotion of her superiors, and send her soaring up the career ladder. * Zhou Linyu came from a powerful family. He was lucky and capable, and his career took off almost too quickly as soon as he started working. To build up his achievements and secure his position, his superiors transferred him to work in a county. As a county magistrate parachuted in from elsewhere, he urgently needed to produce results. But he didn't know the area and was naturally short of people he could rely on to get things done. While looking for a capable secretary's assistant, he happened to discover a talented person in their department. She had all sorts of fresh ideas and could deliver real results. Everything about her was great, except that she was set on coasting through life forever, with no ambition. That wouldn't do, so Zhou Linyu decided to assign her more tasks. Note: A work-obsessed, rich, handsome male lead who wants to serve the people and achieve results vs. a lazy little female clerk who just wants to coast through life Theme:
