(Contemporary life, workplace, period drama)
Li Xiang is unfairly accused by M, the homeroom teacher's son. The teacher then holds a public denunciation meeting to reprimand him.
After graduation, Li Xiang falls ill. Fortunately, his family helps him recover. He and his family reclaim a plot of land at a garbage dump to grow vegetables, and he later takes a job collecting beer bottles for Songhe Port Confucian Company.
He goes to interview at Yijia Company, where he recognizes his former boss, Ma Bo. He remembers the days two years earlier when he worked alongside the three team leaders Ma Bo, Sun Haocheng, and Zhang Guoguo. Li Xiang returns to Yijia, and the company's leaders clear the way for him to get his work done.
His relatives call Li Xiang back to his hometown to work at Kaihe Biotech. Under the guidance of Chang Feng and Chen Qingrui, his professional abilities improve.
Three years later, Li Xiang returns to Yijia, only for a crisis to strike without warning...
Why I set out to write this work:
Sometimes, business groups, entrepreneurs, and ordinary people face similar predicaments: no matter what choice they make, failure seems unavoidable. Yet behind these predicaments are often classic stories. Why not write them down for people to pass on?
The world is changing amid shifting political tides, and the clouds of war refuse to lift. What we need are the most sincere, unadorned emotions to touch the hearts of politicians and the public. May war and peace meet in a fusion of profound thought and wisdom, standing at the forefront of the age and leading the tide of progress in its ideas.
I don't know whether this work contains a veiled political satire. What I do know is that it is a fierce satire of feudalism, decadence, and ignorance.
