The Ladder to the Clouds: from Grassroots Staff to the Top of Power

In 1999, on the night of the embankment collapse, Han Zhiyuan, a farmer's son, took the blame and went into battle; there was no background or backstage, only national law and conscience. Supporting companies in difficulty to go public, rescuing people in mining disasters, secretly fighting for hundreds of billions in free trade ports... Every step of promotion is on the tip of a knife. His first love became an investigative reporter, and they were separated for ten years; his beautiful classmate had been spiritually ambiguous for twenty years, but never crossed the line. At the age of 42, he became the youngest secretary of the provincial party committee in the country, but he wrote on the rooftop: "I put the ladder on the side of all living beings." This is a long official epic with flesh and blood and a full-scale hard-core system game, looking at how ordinary people can use real data, iron laws and the trends of the times to change their lives. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
