Night, 2009.
"Captain, we're checking for drunk driving at Dafeng Bridge tonight. I volunteer to participate in the mission!" Liu Yanru, his girlfriend in a traffic police uniform, took the initiative to offer.
"Xiaoru, it's snowing heavily tonight. It's not convenient for you, a female comrade. We should try to let the male comrades go."
"Which male comrade is willing to go? Show some spirit of sacrifice!"
The team captain shrank his collar: "It's so cold today. It's really going to freeze people to death..."
"Captain, please let me go. Difficulties are meant to temper people. What's a little snowstorm? We all promised when we took the oath that Party members should take the lead when there are difficulties! I joined the Party when I was a sophomore!"
All his colleagues stared with wide eyes, looking completely incredulous.
"Awesome! Your awareness is really high!"
"You're so tough, Yanru! I'll vote for you in the next annual model worker selection in our unit!"
...
Lin Feng, a team member smoking a cigarette beside them, exhaled a smoke ring.
Upon hearing these words, he knew that Liu Yanru must have been reborn too!
...
Tonight, no matter who goes to check for drunk driving, it will be a great opportunity for a smooth career advancement!
The good thing that happened to him in his previous life, in this life, she wanted to get there first! She had to be one step ahead!
...
In his previous life, it was precisely because of the drunk driving check on this snowy night that no one was willing to go, and the opportunity to lead the team fell on Lin Feng, an ordinary team member.
That night, he caught a high-ranking official at the department level.
The alcohol content was 325 mg! It was truly a heavy drink!
Lin Feng, full of youthful vigor, would rather guard the reservoir than let go of such an act of breaking the law while knowing it.
Then, he was finished!
In the officialdom, such an act was too ignorant. A bow that is drawn too tightly will surely break!
His girlfriend at that time, Liu Yanru, also thought so!
Such a stupid act was simply a master of courting disaster in the officialdom!
So, the day after Lin Feng was transferred down to guard the reservoir, Liu Yanru didn't hesitate to break up with him.
And she turned around and threw herself into the arms of the son of the County Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary at that time, who was also the Deputy Director of the County Government Office.
This matter caused great distress to Lin Feng at that time, because it was so damn embarrassing!
He was frustrated in the officialdom and also in love...
The outstanding young man who ranked first in both the written and interview tests that year directly became the laughingstock of the whole county!
However, the wheel of fate began to turn rapidly...
That night, the video of Lin Feng not showing any leniency and enforcing the law impartially was secretly recorded by an enthusiastic citizen and exposed on the Internet!
Once the public opinion fermented, Lin Feng was instantly pushed to the top of the trending list!
From then on, Lin Feng took advantage of the situation and rose steadily. He established the image of "never bowing down" firmly. In just a few years, he also reached the department level.
And the father of the director that Liu Yanru had attached herself to was suddenly placed under investigation two months later. His son and wife were also implicated and sent to prison. Liu Yanru was completely defeated from then on.
Facing Lin Feng, who was rising steadily, she shamelessly begged for reconciliation more than once, and even knelt down in front of Lin Feng...
But for this woman, Lin Feng no longer had the slightest interest.
She thought he didn't know that before her new boyfriend was placed under investigation, Lin Feng's excellence had overwhelmed this second-generation official. She even helped her boyfriend dig up dirt on Lin Feng and stabbed him in the back...
It was just that Lin Feng disdained to argue with her about these things.
The gap between the two of them meant that they rarely had any interaction anymore.
...
Three days ago, Lin Feng, who was then the Deputy Mayor of Linjiang, died in the vast floodwaters while trying to save the people who hadn't been evacuated in time after the flood arrived...
There was a feeling of oppression.
There was water all around!
His consciousness began to blur, and he couldn't see anything...
Finally, he was free...
Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he actually went back eight years in time.
After his mind spun rapidly, Lin Feng understood everything. The only thing he didn't understand was — "How the hell was Liu Yanru reborn too??"
...
"Okay!" Team Captain Chen Jianghe nodded: "Besides Yanru, no one else has signed up, right? Then I'll assign the tasks!"
"Lin Feng, since your girlfriend is going, you don't need to participate. There's no subsidy either. We can't let both of you, a young couple, show the spirit of sacrifice!"
"Sure, Captain Chen. I won't go then."
Without even thinking, Lin Feng directly refused!
So what if he didn't show any awareness!
Did they really think that checking for drunk driving tonight could change their fate?
They were completely wrong!!!
No one knew that in his previous life, his smooth rise had nothing to do with this drunk driving check at all!
Not being flexible and not understanding the ways of the world were the biggest taboos in the officialdom!
In others' eyes, it was his impartiality that helped him soar to great heights!
In fact, in the real officialdom, no one would like a rigid person!
Everyone would seem to admire you, respect you, and flatter you on the surface!
But when it came to the time to take sides, when you looked back silently, you would find that you didn't have a single teammate!
Dying while saving people in the flood had almost become the best choice for him, a Deputy Mayor who was completely sidelined.
Dying was actually a kind of liberation!
Given a second chance at life, Lin Feng swore that he would never be a fool again!
After ten years in the officialdom, he finally understood that the world wasn't just about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world!
And tonight, the real good opportunity didn't lie in checking for drunk driving, but in another woman!
Tang Xueyan!
In his previous life, Lin Feng also only found out much later...
Tang Xueyan, the beloved daughter of Tang Fengnian, who was then the Deputy Secretary of Jiangnan Province, skidded off the road due to the heavy snowstorm that night and fell into the river! She lost her young life.
At that time, the news didn't report it!
He only found out later that Old Tang had only had this one precious daughter in his life!
Secretary Tang aged more than a dozen years overnight! Later, he applied for early retirement before he was sixty. It was really a pity!
"Since God has given me this chance to live again..."
"Why should I go check for drunk driving? Saving people is the most important thing!"
"If I save Secretary Tang's beloved daughter, why should I be afraid that I can't have a smooth career path?"
After arranging the tasks, everyone went to prepare their equipment and would set out fifteen minutes later!
As expected, Liu Yanru came to find Lin Feng in the dormitory...
"Lin Feng..."
"What's wrong, Yanru?" Lin Feng pretended that nothing had happened.
"Let's break up."
"Can you give me a reason?" Lin Feng pretended to look shocked: "Why? Did I do something wrong?"
Lin Feng's acting skills were really good!
Liu Yanru seemed to visibly relax!
She thought to herself: "It seems that this guy wasn't reborn!"
Of course, Lin Feng did it on purpose!
Firstly, he didn't want anyone to know that he had been reborn, so the more realistic his acting was at this moment, the better.
Secondly, he really wanted to see what kind of wonderful breakup reasons this woman, Liu Yanru, could come up with.
"You're too passionate. Every time we're together, my legs are weak. I'm tired of it!"
"Is this even a reason to break up??"
He had heard of people breaking up because one was too weak, but he had never heard of breaking up because one was too strong!
"Sorry, I guess I'm really too good." Lin Feng looked full of shame.
"Then, I wish you find someone who's not that good in the future."
The reason for the breakup was too lame, and the process was also very rough.
There was no expected entanglement or endless questioning.
Lin Feng agreed very resolutely!
Mainly because there wasn't enough time. In his previous life, Secretary Tang's daughter fell into the water around 8:30 pm...
It was already 7:45 now, and he was still more than ten kilometers away from the scene of the accident. The time was really tight.
"Lin Feng!"
"I'm not kidding you! I'm talking about breaking up! Do you understand? Please take this seriously!!"
