[Official Novel + Shadow Corruption + Retired Officials + Government-Business Game], the original title of the work is "Old Man".
In the officialdom, there is a group of people who are respectfully called "old men". These "old men" are retired leading cadres. There are old men at all administrative levels including township, county, city, province and ministry.
Because they have a wide range of disciples and deep connections, their influence is like a deep-rooted towering tree that is difficult to shake.
Some "old men" still retain huge influence after retirement. Some continue to give orders in the form of behind-the-scenes consultants, while others use their special status to engage in more covert corruption. This phenomenon is called "shadow corruption", and these people are also called-retired high-ranking officials.
Niu Zhihua is a real estate developer and a grassroots billionaire who made a fortune by using beautiful women to "human bomb".
In order to quickly expand his wealth, he hired Gao Chongshan, the former director of the Provincial Department of Land and Resources, as a company consultant.
Gao Zhongshan's son, Gao Shaoye, happened to return to China from the United States due to the financial crisis and joined Niu Zhihua's company, which began to gradually erode Niu Zhihua's property. In order to succeed, Gao Shaoye teamed up with his brother Gao Dameng, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, to threaten, attack and persecute Niu Zhihua.
Niu Zhihua has since fallen into one carefully planned frame-up after another.
The novel takes the evolution of the relationship between Niu Zhihua and the Gao family as the main line, from initial cooperation to later suspicion and confrontation, until the final break. The storyline is intricate, the characters are vivid, and the plot development is full of twists and surprises. The work deeply explores the intertwining of officialdom, business, workplace and emotional world. With real estate development as the background, it reveals that retired officials use the resources and connections accumulated during their tenure to seek power and rent, as well as the corruption phenomenon in the real estate industry behind the collusion between officials and businessmen. It shows the complexity and cruelty of the struggle between officials and businessmen.
In the story, an ambitious real estate businessman, four charming public relations experts, a conceited returning elite, and a group of retired officials who still have huge influence behind the scenes, each with their own evil intentions, staged scenes of complicated officialdom, business, and emotional dramas in this bustling city.
