Crackdown on Illegal Construction!
The next day.
Sunday.
After a day of raging wind and rain, it finally stopped in the morning.
Water droplets hung from the branches. The air had turned fresh, the temperature cool and pleasant, and patches of standing water on both sides of the street reflected the soft halo of the morning sun.
When Dong Xuebin got up that morning, he received a call from the district and learned that he would have to work overtime today. He did not complain. He slowly got out of bed, tidied himself up, opened the door, and strolled out of the courtyard, stepping over the lush green fallen leaves carpeting the ground. At midnight, his Remaining Time had accumulated back to sixty seconds, but Dong Xuebin had no intention of testing REVERSE again. Although he had yet to fully understand REVERSE and still needed to learn more about the ability, he had wasted too much yesterday. He needed to save up more Remaining Time first; otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it would be difficult for him to handle.
Guangming Street Office.
Annex building, office.
Having discovered the effects of REVERSE, Dong Xuebin was in an excellent mood. He sat behind his desk, lit a cigarette, crossed one leg over the other, and narrowed his eyes as he admired the view outside.
Knock, knock. Someone knocked at the door.
Dong Xuebin said, "Come in."
"Director, you were looking for me?" Zhou Ynru walked in with a smile.
Dong Xuebin stubbed out his cigarette. "Has the overtime notice been passed around? I don't see many people here."
Zhou Ynru explained, "We only notified everyone this morning. Some comrades live far away, so they may not have arrived yet." She checked her watch. "But they should be here soon."
Dong Xuebin nodded.
