Retired scout Gu Yan relied on his extraordinary agility and insight into human nature. He started as a temporary worker in the street office and made his way step by step in the modern urban officialdom. He not only had to deal with the hypocritical boss Zhao Yuanzheng's superficially benevolent but secretly plotting trap, but also demonstrated his governance talents in key events such as people's livelihood projects and economic reforms. At the same time, he had many romantic relationships intertwined with Su Wan, a business prodigy, Liu Shutong, a war reporter, and Qin Zhao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine. In the end, Zhao Yuanzheng's hypocritical mask was revealed in the storm of discipline inspection, and he achieved a clean and honest government, and also found what he wanted in his heart.
