I want the power, but I don't want to deal with the responsibilities

"Then give me some money!"

Xiao Ce held out his hand.

Shen Yuan slapped his hand away. "It's not like you don't have money!"

"Is the annual salary really fifty million?" Chu Yang asked.

Xiao Ce nodded. "Of course it's true!"

Chu Yang smiled. "Can I get an advance on my salary?"

Xiao Ce's face twitched. "I haven't even gotten mine yet!"

Chu Yang raised his middle finger. "Tch!"

Xiao Ce: "..."

"As for Lin Yu..."

Xiao Ce looked at Lin Yu. "He..."

Lin Yu laughed heartily. "A bad guy like me who wanders in the gray area, doing things that can't see the light of day..."

"Do you think I would choose to join the 789 Bureau?"

Lin Yu smiled very happily. "I'm not qualified!"

Shen Yuan gave Lin Yu a thumbs up. "Brother, you love this land deeply! Awesome!"

"Just average, third in the world!"

Lin Yu said casually, "So..."

"I have a special license to kill!"

Lin Yu took out a blue certificate. "Killing domestically... requires reporting!"

"Once reported, you can kill!"

Lin Yu grinned. "I can't kill anytime and anywhere, but I can kill without breaking the law!"

"Damn!"

Two middle fingers were thrust in front of Lin Yu's eyes.

"I want one too!"

Shen Yuan stretched and looked at Xiao Ce. "I once said!"

"I want to climb up step by step by step by step!"

"I want to be Zhao Gao!"

"I want to call a deer a horse! I want to kill without breaking the law!"

Shen Yuan spoke grimly.

"Brother, Zhao Gao wasn't a good person!" Chu Yang said.

Shen Yuan gave him a sidelong glance. "Zhao Gao was a transmigrator, forced to become Zhao Gao by some hypocritical saint!"

The corners of their mouths twitched.

"So..."

Shen Yuan reached out his hand. "I want power, but I don't want to manage things!"

"That's how we do things!"

Shen Yuan gave a wicked smile. "Can you... help me figure out a way?"

Xiao Ce rolled his eyes. "Then let's just cooperate, why so much nonsense!"

Shen Yuan: "Damn!"

He understood!

There must be others who made the same choice as him.

The 789 Bureau is quite accommodating after all!

"How do we cooperate?"

Chu Yang asked. "How much is the annual salary? Is it nine to five every day? We don't need your 996 blessing, right?"

Xiao Ce's face darkened with imaginary lines. "Do you think our 789 Bureau is some black-hearted capitalist!"

Xiao Ce and Chu Yang looked at Shen Yuan in unison.

Yeah, black-hearted capitalist, that was exactly him!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Mine is a godly company, I'm no disgusting capitalist!"

Shen Yuan smiled brightly. "Interns start at seven thousand, twelve thousand once they become regular employees!"

"Fifty percent higher than the industry average!"

"Working hours strictly follow the eight-hour system!"

"We eliminate ineffective overtime for employees!"

"If overtime is necessary, we strictly follow labor laws and pay two to three times the salary!"

"Office snacks, fruits, and drinks are in unlimited supply!"

"Brands include Evian water, Haagen-Dazs, and Dove chocolate!"

"Afternoon tea standard is fifty yuan per person!"

"There are meal and travel allowances every month!"

"Upon joining the company, you get the five insurances and one housing fund!"

"After working for more than two years, it's six insurances and two funds!"

"Paid at the highest ratio!"

"Fifteen days of fully paid annual leave."

"As for team building... goes without saying, twice a year!"

"Those who don't go get it converted into salary, paid directly in cash!"

Shen Yuan rattled it off effortlessly.

Chu Yang and the other two: "..."

Is this really a damn capitalist?

Are you sure this isn't a scam company?

This is simply a paradise for workers!

"Alright, we're getting off topic!"

Shen Yuan waved his hand. "Cezi, tell me, how do we cooperate?"

Xiao Ce smiled lightly. "It's also flexible working hours here!"

"Cooperation means that sometimes, when the 789 Bureau is too busy, we hope you can go help out!"

"As for the contact person, it will naturally be me, you don't need to worry!"

"But the power given to you can't be too great!"

"But doing my best, I can only fight for..."

Xiao Ce calculated silently. "Old Shen, at most you'll be a deputy director, and in the military just a senior colonel!"

"This is the highest level!"

"Are you willing to cooperate?"

Xiao Ce smiled.

Shen Yuan shrugged. "You're tying me down completely!"

"If you have a problem, could I just stand by and watch?"

"Alright, let's do it this way!"

"Get one for Yangzi too!"

Shen Yuan smiled. "We are blood brothers, we need to fight tigers together!"

"Song, is that you, Song?"

Lin Yu blurted out from the side, "I'm already a protected animal now, do you dare to hit me?"

"Tigers are protected animals, but the Dragon King is not a protected animal!"

Shen Yuan's mouth twisted. "I'll beat you up without a second thought!"

Lin Yu: "..."

"Stop smiling!"

Lin Yu said speechlessly, "My face was injured, nerve damage. So when I smile, my mouth turns into a hook!"

"How the hell do you manage to smile like that?"

Lin Yu said helplessly.

Everyone laughed heartily.

Shen Yuan thought: So the Dragon King's crooked smile is due to damn facial nerve damage!

"Stop, let's go in and eat!"

Shen Yuan pointed ahead. "My family's grand hotel. We just went to attend the banquet and didn't even eat anything good!"

After parking, the group entered the hotel together.

Shen Yuan directly ordered a table of food worth one million.

Xiao Ce and the other two: ︿(￣︶￣)︿

Poverty has limited our imagination!

"What's with those looks?"

Shen Yuan raised his red wine, wearing an expression of having seen through the mortal world.

"You guys don't understand. Actually, I'm quite tired too!"

"It's like a walled garden. Some people like the feasting and revelry inside the wall, while others like the simple tea and plain rice outside."

Shen Yuan put his hands behind his back. The sunlight spilled down, giving him an inexplicable sense of sorrowful loneliness.

"How about we trade places?"

Xiao Ce said. "I'll experience the feasting and revelry, and you go appreciate the simple tea and plain rice?"

"No way!"

Shen Yuan turned around, his serious facade breaking instantly. "I'm the kind of person who still prefers the feasting and revelry!"

"Come, let's congratulate His Highness the Dragon King on escaping the sea of suffering!"

Shen Yuan raised his wine glass.

The group laughed and took a sip.

They introduced themselves to each other.

Shen Yuan extended his hand to Lin Yu. "Hang out with me!"

Lin Yu shook his head. "I've already planned to move back to the country. When the time comes, I'll have my own business too!"

Shen Yuan stretched lazily.

"For your business to take root in the Magic City, you'll still need my Shen family's protection!"

"Hang out with me, and I'll get all of this sorted for you!"

"Don't look at Xiao Ce, that guy works for the state!"

"He's quite busy!"

Shen Yuan smiled playfully.

Lin Yu paused. "That works too!"

"However..."

"Before that..."

Shen Yuan licked his lips, his eyes starting to gleam. "Wanna join?"

"I mean, join our big family!"

"You're not here to destroy this family, you're here to join this family!"

"You, Cezi, Yangzi, and me!"

"Our big family of four!"

Shen Yuan: "Jiejiejie~~"

Lin Yu looked at Shen Yuan's expression and hurriedly covered his chest. "I have a wife, I like women!"

"I won't join!" Lin Yu shook his head frantically.

"Nonsense, I have a fiancée too, and I also like women!"

Shen Yuan waved his hand, "What I mean is..."

"I have a legendary system!"

Shen Yuan held up his index finger.

Lin Yu: "..."

A system?

You might as well believe I'm Qin Shi Huang!
