From Wuzhang Plains to the Political Arena: Zhu Geliang's Path to Power

During the ritual at Wuzhang Plains to pray for an extension of his life, a sudden anomaly occurred. When Zhuge Kongming opened his eyes, he found himself in the 21st century! His youthful body housed a mind sharpened by a thousand years of strategy. Faced with phones, computers, and social insurance and housing funds, he was utterly bewildered. But thanks to his photographic memory, he mastered modern knowledge in three days and workplace rules in seven.

Starting as a low-level clerk, he used The Art of War to handle office infighting, drew on the logic of the Memorial on Dispatching the Troops to write proposals that dazzled everyone, and used his knowledge of astronomy and geography to predict disasters and earn an exceptional promotion. While everyone else was scrambling over KPIs and fretting themselves sick, Kongming brewed coffee while calculating performance, listened to reports while reading people's hearts, and even his complaints about modern-day “strategists” (office workers) scheming against one another came out sounding like classical Chinese.

He crushes everyone in workplace mind games and rises through the bureaucracy with ease. From an invisible nobody in a department to a powerful regional official, this Zhuge uses PowerPoint to explain military strategy and data analysis to improve people's lives. He is turning the modern workplace into a new stage for the Three Kingdoms, hoping only to serve with all his heart and create another legend as a regional ruler!
