Forced to Become Director of the Anomaly Bureau (10,000 Words Saved Up)

Chen Qingyu has no memories of his past. He always feels like he doesn't belong in this world.

Still, Chen Qingyu is perfectly happy with his life now and has no intention of chasing after his lost memories.

Anyone who suddenly owned several buildings and could afford to buy another apartment each month just from collecting rent would find it hard not to laugh out loud.

He could stay cooped up at home until the end of time.

But...

After less than two years of the good life, how did he end up being “invited” out of his room and taken somewhere out of the blue?

Chen Qingyu looked at the crowd of towering men before him, then at the man surrounded by them. The man was handsome, but Chen Qingyu couldn't understand a single word he was saying.

“Starting today, you're the director of the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs.”

Good socialist youth Chen Qingyu stared blankly. “...Bro, do you want to listen to what you're saying? What is the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs? What did I do to become its director?!”

It turned out that beyond the calm surface of this world, there were hidden storms: anomalous zones.

Yes, all kinds of extremely dangerous places appeared in this world, and those who entered them had almost no chance of making it out alive.

The Bureau of Anomalous Affairs was the department in charge of dealing with these zones.

The man who'd just declared Chen Qingyu the bureau's new director was the former director, Lu Sui.

Lu Sui continued in an even tone, “It's just an honorary title. You won't have to do any work. You'll get a position and a salary.”

Chen Qingyu hesitated. Could something this good really be true? And could something this good really happen to him?

But when he looked at the fierce-looking crowd in front of him, who seemed capable of killing him with one slap, his hesitation vanished. He quickly nodded.

It was just an honorary title, right? He could do that!

It was a government department, so it couldn't just disappear. He trusted the country's strength and prosperity. Surely they could let him hold an easy, sinecure position!

After the handover paperwork was done, Chen Qingyu ventured to ask, “May I ask why you chose me to be director?”

The former director beside him chuckled, a teasing glint in his eyes. “It was divined. You being director will help us deal with the anomalous zones.”

Chen Qingyu stopped in his tracks and couldn't help objecting. “Don't be so superstitious! We're good socialist youths, raised right. We should believe in science.”

The new director of the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs, Chen Qingyu, had planned to be a good-luck charm for the bureau. He left to buy a few things, hoping to go back home and keep lazing around until the end of his days.

Then he saw the road in front of him suddenly rise into the sky and stopped in his tracks...

What?!

Wasn't he told he wouldn't have to do anything?

They'd barely finished saying that, and the work was already at his door?

Could the former director have been a good-luck charm too, with no say in anything?

Later on,

Chen Qingyu stared at his near-perfect performance record.

So when they said his being director would help solve the anomalous zones, they meant he'd have to deal with all of them himself?!
