Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Hey, it's almost time for lunch. The information I sent from the Public Security Bureau this morning hasn't been filed yet. I'll have to go get busy first." Xiaoling glanced at the time and was startled. Before she finished her words, she hurried off to organize the information.

Yu Congcong hadn't received any new information all morning, so she was sorting and filing some old information. There was nothing important to do, so she looked at the time and remembered that she had planned to go to the post office to buy stamps yesterday. Now was a good time to go, and she could come back in time for lunch. So, Yu Congcong picked up her bag and walked straight to the post office.

It was almost noon and there were few people in the post office. Only one worker was taking a nap.

"Comrade, I want to buy stamps." Yu Congcong said loudly.

"Oh." The staff member was awakened by lush voice, walked slowly to the counter, bent down and took a board of the latest stamps.

"Comrade, please give me a copy of the old version as well." Yu Congcong continued.

The staff's eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this. These old stamps were not easy to sell. They had an unwritten rule that the staff could take half of the stamps sold as commission. So the staff took out all the old stamps and let Yu Congcong choose.

"Can I have all of these?" Yu Congcong asked cautiously and tentatively.

Yu Congcong didn't know which stamps would be valuable in the future and which would be worthless. She just thought she might as well buy them all and keep them.

When the staff member heard this, her eyes opened wide as if they were bells. She couldn't believe what she heard and didn't react for a moment.

"No way? Then let me pick a few boards." Yu Congcong looked at the staff's reactions and felt a little unsure.

"Okay, of course. I'll help you pack it up." The staff member's face flushed with excitement. He hurriedly found a paper bag and carefully packed all the stamps.

"Comrade, the total is 38 yuan." The staff member quoted the price while handing the paper bag to Yu Congcong, with an unconcealable joy in his eyes.

Yu Congcong took out the money from his pocket, handed it to the staff readily, then took the paper bag with great joy.

Thinking about the future, that would be thousands or tens of thousands of stamps each! Yu Congcong was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Seeing that the comrade really liked these old stamps, the staff thought that there were still some old stamps in the warehouse that no one wanted, so they asked tentatively: "Comrade, do you need more?"

"You still have some?"

"We have some different versions in the warehouse."

"Then bring it here so I can see it." Yu Congcong didn't say she had to. She just remembered that the 60s Jiangshan Yipianhong was very valuable. As for the others, she didn't know if they were valuable or not. It was fine to keep them all, just as a hobby.

The staff was so happy that they asked Yu Congcong to wait for a moment and then turned around to find stamps for her.

Yu Congcong took out the stamps she had just bought and looked at them carefully, while waiting for the staff leisurely.

About ten minutes later, the staff member came out with some dust on his head and a file bag in his hand.

"Take a look, there are not many. There is not a complete set on one plate. They are all in pieces. See if there is anything you like?" The staff poured out all the stamps in the file bag. These were not complete sets. Many of them only had a few pieces left. Some had dozens of the same ones. There were all kinds of them, which looked a bit messy.

However, Yu Congcong liked them very much. Although these were not a complete set, they would definitely be valuable in the future.

Looking at the staff's expectant eyes, Yu Congcong readily said that he wanted them all.

"My name is Yu Congcong, and I work as a data clerk in the government. If you issue new stamps, please leave a set for me."

"I can't...stay here. Your government job isn't far away. I'll go and inform you."

"That's a great feeling! Thank you."

"You're welcome, comrade. You've helped me a lot. These stamps have been covered in dust in the warehouse for a long time." The staff member didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone knew it.

"Then I'll be polite. If you have any problem, I can help you. Come to me."

"Okay, Comrade Yu Congcong, my name is Liu Xiao."

"Okay, Comrade Liu Xiao, I'll be leaving first."

"Okay, Comrade Yu Congcong, come again next time."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two said goodbye. Yu Congcong walked out of the post office and headed towards the government compound.

When I reached the intersection of the State-owned Hotel, I ran into Zhang Mai. What a narrow road the enemy meets!

"Comrade Yu Congcong, we meet again. Meeting is fate. Let's have a meal together? It's my treat."

"Oh, Comrade Zhang, what a coincidence. Let's have dinner another day. You see, I still have work to do. I won't eat today." Yu Congcong refused with a hypocritical smile and raised the file bag in her hand.

"Is that so? Comrade Yu Congcong is busy now, but you must keep the appointment another day."

Zhang Mai stared at Yu Congcong's face, his eyes like a wolf staring at meat.

"sure."

Yu Congcong forced a smile and said perfunctorily, then turned around and ran away.

"Comrade Yu Congcong, I will come to see you another day!" Zhang Mai shouted at Yu Congcong's back.

This shout scared Yu Congcong so much that she almost stumbled and fell to the ground. She said "Pooh" in her heart and muttered to herself: "Who are they? Do they know how to be polite?" Yu Congcong's disgust for Zhang Mai instantly exploded. No, she had to speed up and find a way to deal with them.

"Host, do you feel that man is a bit like Sawada Sakura?"

"What? Who? Japanese?" Yu Congcong didn't react at first to who Sawada Sakura was. Just hearing the name sounded like a Japanese.

"Yes, it's my fourth uncle's wife Cuihua."

"That can't be possible. Even if Fourth Uncle's wife remarries, she won't be able to give birth to a son! This man is not very old, only about 18 years old!"

"Who said it has to be a son? Can't it be a grandson or a grandson-in-law?" The system looked disdainful, thinking that Yu Congcong's thinking was too rigid and he didn't know how to expand his horizons.

"Well, this is possible. They may have other children outside. We always thought they only had a son, so we only controlled her son. Who knows if they have a daughter?" Yu Congcong said thoughtfully.

"Host, you are not necessarily born to your fourth uncle." The system said slowly.

"Box, you are so thoughtful." Yu Congcong said in surprise. She was really impressed by the system. She sincerely admired the system's bold assumptions, which were broader than her knowledge as a person who had lived two lives.

"How is it impossible? Don't forget Sawada Sakura and what she does." the system reminded.

"Well, it's not impossible. The Japanese like to act this way."
