Or should we just cash it in?

Secretary He and Director Jiang both took several deep breaths before they could barely calm themselves.

This case itself was very unusual, unheard of.

But compared to a real estate agent solving a case, it felt even more unusual than the case itself.

If someone had told them this before, they would have slapped them. Was this a joke?

But now, it was really happening, right before their eyes.

However, they both knew that whether it was identifying ashes or analyzing the case, it all indicated that this young man in front of them was definitely not simple.

They couldn't understand why such a talented young man would go sell houses; wasn't that a waste of his talent?

Thinking of this, the two of them, as if by telepathy, spoke in unison: "Lin Yuan, right?"

As soon as these words came out,

Their expressions stiffened, a bit awkward.

"What do you want to say? You go first."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you go first."

Director Yang looked at the two of them deferring to each other, completely bewildered. What was this all about?

Lin Yuan was also at a loss, standing there staring blankly.

Ultimately, Secretary He's status was superior, and it was decided that he would speak first.

"Lin Yuan, for today's case, I represent the citizens of West Sea City, and also the victims, in expressing my gratitude to you."

Lin Yuan quickly waved his hand with a smile: "You're too kind, it's what I should do."

Secretary He smiled and shook his head: "You deserve this praise."

"Also, I heard from Director Yang that your current job is a real estate agent."

"Logically speaking, since you've helped so much, you should definitely receive a certain reward."

"Now there are two choices: one is a cash reward of 30,000 yuan, and the other is for me to transfer you to a Government department, giving you a more stable job. Which do you choose?"

Hearing about the reward, Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied: "30,000, 30,000! I want money!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking,

Everyone present was shocked, all staring at Lin Yuan as if he were an idiot, dumbfounded.

No way?

This kind of multiple-choice question that even elementary school students could answer, and you actually chose the wrong answer?

A job personally arranged by the mayor, that's an iron rice bowl for life.

Even if it's just an ordinary clerk, who would dare to disrespect you?

The most important thing is that he is still so young, with unlimited potential for future promotion; it wouldn't be a dream to rise to prominence one day.

Such an opportunity, how many people would go bankrupt trying to buy it?

Yet it was offered to him, and he rejected it without a second thought, asking for money?

Was his brain short-circuited?

Secretary He was also surprised by Lin Yuan's choice, finding it a bit hard to believe.

He specifically asked again: "Have you thought it through? It's still not too late to change your mind."

Director Yang, standing nearby, also quickly advised: "Lin Yuan, don't be foolish, choose the job!"

"If you choose the job, with your ability and eloquence, your future achievements could very well surpass mine."

However, Lin Yuan seemed not to understand, pouting as he replied: "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it, but you're not trying to avoid giving me 30,000 yuan, are you?"

I'm speechless!!

Upon hearing this, everyone was completely defeated.

Even Secretary He and Director Jiang were stunned.

So, in your eyes, this job is less substantial than the bonus?

An opportunity presented to you, and you just toss it aside like trash?

It's truly a case of 'those who have nothing starve, and those who have too much drown,' pure freeloading!

Each of them wished they could rush up and bite him to death; he was too infuriating.

Lin Yuan shrank back, seeing the unfriendly gazes of the crowd: "Why are you all looking at me like that? If you're not going to give it, then don't, but are you going to hit me too!"

Director Yang's mouth fell open, and his eyes almost popped out.

He quickly pulled him aside, not letting him continue to speak.

If he kept talking like this, who knew what outrageous things he might say next.

"Lin Yuan, take it easy, this isn't our police station, you're standing in front of Secretary He!"

"If you piss him off, I can't protect you!"

"Such a job, how many people would die for it."

"Quickly say thank you!"

Upon hearing that last sentence, Lin Yuan's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he looked at Director Yang, asking faintly: "Director Yang, have you ever heard a lyric?"

"People are bustling about, just for a few bits of silver. Yet these few bits of silver can resolve all the world's anxieties, ensure the elderly's peaceful later years, children's schooling, and our daily necessities of food and grain."

"In your eyes, being a civil servant means a lifetime of worry-free living, and even the potential for great success."

"But I want to ask, after I join, can I just slack off and do nothing after six months?"

Director Yang was stunned for a moment, a bit bewildered, and replied blankly: "That's definitely not allowed, you have to work."

"Then if I take this job, will I be able to enjoy all the riches and spend money without any worries in the future?"

"Uh, that's not allowed either!"

"Then can I change girlfriends every day and be a groom every night?"

Director Yang's face darkened upon hearing this: "Of course not!"

"Then that's it." Lin Yuan shrugged: "The competition I'm currently in, if I win it in six months, there's a 100 million yuan prize, which is enough for me to live a carefree life. Why should I work like a dog?"

"This..."

After hearing Lin Yuan's questions and answers, Director Yang felt a bit like he was questioning life itself.

He recalled his own life, which could be described as walking on thin ice, being cautious everywhere.

Although he held a high position in others' eyes, he knew how difficult it was to climb to that position.

Let alone corruption and bribery, even if he dared to take it, would he dare to spend it?

He had also thought that if life could be restarted, he would choose to make money and enjoy life.

But honestly, he couldn't be as free-spirited as Lin Yuan.

Because in this world, power is above all else, and even money is no exception.

He also didn't know that Lin Yuan, having lived another life, saw many things more openly than the average person.

Living happily is enough; having money, indulging in a life of luxury, going wherever he wants to play, having as many partners as he desires—that's his pursuit!

Secretary He stood aside, watching the two of them converse, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"A young person's thoughts are indeed unique. Since you are unwilling, I naturally won't force you."

"You want money, right? 30,000 seems a bit too little. How about 100,000! I'll have my secretary deliver it to you later. We'll also hold a press conference to present you with a medal and certificate."

Hearing 30,000 turn into 100,000, Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he quickly thanked him with a laugh: "Thank you, leader, you're so kind. I'll treat you to a meal later."

"But a busy person like you surely won't have time, so I won't insist, okay?"

"As for that press conference and certificate, they're also an expense and a waste of time. How about we just skip all of them and just give me the cash?"

As soon as these words came out,

Director Yang immediately turned his head away and covered his face; he couldn't listen anymore, it was too embarrassing.

Secretary He was also stumped by his words.

First, he said he'd treat me to a meal, and I was planning to politely decline.

But then you, you actually found an excuse for me?

And then you used that excuse to ask for cash?

Are you treating me like a lucky cat!

You should know that both a press conference and a certificate are things many people dream of.

At that time, he, the high-ranking city official, would personally present it.

Lin Yuan would directly become a celebrity in West Sea City, even an internet sensation.

To put it more bluntly, the value of that certificate alone was far more than 100,000, and he actually wanted to cash it in like scrap.

Secretary He felt he couldn't understand Lin Yuan's way of thinking and smiled helplessly: "The press conference can be canceled, but the certificate is a must. I'll have the secretary bring it to you later."

Lin Yuan's expression showed a slight disappointment, but he still nodded with a smile: "Thank you, leader. If you buy a house later, find me, I'll give you a discount."

Then he looked at Director Jiang with anticipation: "Leader, what were you going to tell me just now?"
