About This Novel
In the late summer of 1993, Li Yao took a bumpy long-distance bus to Sichuan North County. Outside the window was loess and rice fields. His briefcase contained a transfer order and a secret that no one knew. It turned out that the young secretary who was overly anxious and suffered from insomnia at night was no longer there. Sitting here was another Li Yao who left in 2026. In his previous life, he was an Asia-Pacific executive of a multinational manufacturing company. He had managed factories with thousands of people and had seen countless life and death situations of industrial transformation. The first day he took over as factory director was a show of authority. Hongqi Machinery Factory has 12,000 employees. The factory area is dilapidated, the equipment is aging, and the cash on the account can only last three months. Several middle-level cadres stood at the door to greet this 25-year-old boy, with hidden eyes waiting for a good show. The deputy director of the factory, Zhao Mingsheng, is a local who has been working in the factory for twenty years. He is the oldest and has the most connections. He has no objection to Li Yao, but every time he "cooperates" he steps on the key points where the protagonist needs efficiency most, slowing down and leaving no trace. Lao Chen, the chairman of the trade union, is another line, representing the group of old workers who are about to retire. They are not afraid of the factory collapse, but are afraid that the reform will disturb their cheese. Fang Jianguo, the technical section chief, is the technical ceiling of the entire factory. He has a bad temper and looks down on the leadership, but he is responsible for all the production processes in his hands.
