In the Name of the People: I Go from Chief Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in Handong to a Central Government Post

Chen Shusheng, who had watched every kind of political drama in his previous life and immersed himself in economic reform, transmigrates to the 1990s and becomes the personal secretary to Provincial Party Secretary Gong Kaichen. His meticulous habit of documenting everything and his forward-looking ideas on reform quickly earn him favor. On his first trip with Gong Kaichen to present a report, Chen hands over a reform proposal that turns a crisis around and earns him a promotion. Others assume he got where he is through connections, but with an economic vision twenty years ahead of its time, he manages to haul a perennial bottom-ranker onto the fast track. With Gong Kaichen and Pei Yihong backing him, he is transferred to Handong in his forties. On his very first day, Ding Yizhen flees, the standoff at Dafeng Factory erupts, and the Shanshui Group moves against Bright Lake, setting the whole city abuzz. He smiles faintly. “I saw the cards in this game in my previous life. I came to Handong for three things: the economy, the economy, and the economy.” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
