County Office Director

Director of the County Government Office is a realist masterpiece that deeply analyzes the ecology of county-level officialdom in China. The story revolves around the promotion of Wang Dahai, deputy director of the county government office, and vividly demonstrates the power game and human nature in grassroots officialdom. In the miniature power arena of Dengzhou County, there are hidden mysteries everywhere: the order of reporting, the arrangement of meeting seats, and the speed of document circulation, all become bargaining chips in the power struggle. Wang Dahai not only has to face the overt and covert attacks of his colleagues - deliberately delayed official documents, constraints at critical moments, and calculations about division of labor arrangements; he also has to deal with various leaders - the radical reforms of the new county magistrate and the steady line of the county party secretary collide fiercely, and the open and covert battles between outside cadres and local forces have never stopped. This book uses sharp writing to reveal the rules of survival in officialdom: how to take advantage of the situation to establish authority, when to show your trump card, and how to maintain balance in factional struggles. From the rent-seeking of power in approving funds, to the undercurrent of personnel appointments and removals; from the transfer of interests in project bidding, to the struggle for the right to speak in information control - every game is a test of wisdom and courage.
