I would like to write this book to pay tribute to the discipline inspection and supervision personnel and to the hard-working working class.
"Realistic themes + officialdom nature + the decline of human nature in the workplace of Northeastern state-owned enterprises"
In the cold winter of 2010 in the Northeast, Qi Dongsheng, a graduate of the mechanical major, clutched his report card for ranking first in the written examination, but he couldn't even reach the interview door of the Red Star Heavy Machinery Factory - this was an old state-owned enterprise during the "1st Five-Year Plan" period, and "open recruitment" had long been a cover for internal appointments. In order to collect medical expenses for his father, he finally followed his mother, carrying Shanzhen Baijiu, and knocked on the door of deputy director Ma Shangjun.
When he joined the company, he rode a broken bicycle through the tube building of the factory and returned the supplier's 200 yuan "tea fee". He firmly believed that "relying on ability can ensure a stable job." However, the opportunity to renovate the production line became a turning point. The sleepless nights during the rebate period, and the numbness of asking for 5% rebates from suppliers later on. From the stupid young man who refused to be "sophisticated" to the procurement section chief who weaved a network of interests to create a yin and yang contract, he moved into the elevator room, but lost his original intention.
When his old classmate Zhao Quan reported him with the quality inspection report, when his wife Zhu Jiali dug out hundreds of thousands of stolen money, and when the lights in the inspection team's talk room were as cold as the snow in the Northeast, Qi Dongsheng remembered that winter of 2010, when he stood in the job market with his resume in hand, thinking only of "relying on himself" - it turned out that the so-called "iron rice bowl was smashed", what was broken was never the position, but his own conscience.
Focusing on the pain of transformation of the old industrial base in Northeast China, the hidden rules of the workplace of state-owned enterprises and the alienation of human nature, it reflects the necessity of anti-corruption work and hides the struggle of every ordinary person between ideals and survival, power and bottom line.
