Wasteland: Rising Amid Chaos, Sweeping All Before Me

Sixty years after the global cataclysm, the world has entered a period of recovery. The protagonist, Xiao Mingyan, comes from a distinguished family. His father was a senior staff officer to a warlord faction that had fled abroad. After supporting the self-governance of the Chinese community in Wandu City, he was murdered by the opposition in District One. His mother also died after falling into depression.

After graduating from university, Xiao Mingyan returns to Wandu City. At the time, the sanitation company run by the Su family is mired in crisis. A large rival sanitation company maliciously buys influence and frames the Su family for secretly stockpiling weapons, hoping to bring them down.

Xiao Mingyan remains composed as he handles the situation. On one hand, he uses financial incentives to sway rank-and-file employees and incite them to make trouble, amplifying the impact of the incident. On the other, during negotiations, he deftly wins over three other companies and brings them into his camp. In the end, he successfully resolves the crisis, and the Su family's business gradually recovers. He also uses the opportunity to establish himself in Wandu City, meet a group of like-minded friends, and assemble his own inner circle, beginning his rise to power in the city.
