Siheyuan: A Career in Politics, Starting with Buying Fake Documents

My golden finger is pretty bizarre: it can only sell certificates? A Level 8 fitter's certificate for ten yuan, a college diploma for fifty? Sure, I'll be the first to take advantage of this deal!

At the steel mill, Xu Damao rages, "You useless piece of trash who got in through connections!" The whole courtyard is waiting to laugh at me. They don't know I have an engineer's certificate in my pocket.

When the machine tool I modified myself roars to life and crushes all doubts, the whole factory is shaken! Xu Damao reports me for faking my diploma? Investigate! But it turns out they uncover my "lost" MIT credentials?

From the technical department to deputy factory director, I reform the steel mill; from the Ministry of Industry to senior local office, my policies benefit countless families. Through twenty-five years of trials, the courtyard house remains my home.

When the old-town redevelopment plans are spread out, I, now a department-level official, tap the heart of the blueprint: "This area stays exactly as it is." Because this is where countless tiny sparks forged the backbone of the Republic's industry, including the rise of me, the "King of Fake Certificates"!
