The Secretary's Comeback: From Getting Chewed Out at the Start to Taking His Boss to the Top

Zhang Ran has been treated with cold indifference because his leader was pushed aside. As a secretary to a provincial leader, he treads on thin ice. From the start, inadequate preparation earns him a dressing-down from his leader, turning him into a laughingstock in everyone’s eyes. Just as he’s losing hope, the [God-Tier Aide System] unexpectedly activates. From then on, he can see how the situation is developing, read people’s minds with precision, and accurately analyze trends in relevant data!

For his first test, he must write a speech for his leader at the province-wide economic work conference. Rather than piling on stale platitudes, he uses the System’s support to zero in on the central issues and propose several strategies that seem bold but get straight to the heart of the matter. When his leader delivers the speech at the meeting and astonishes the audience, drawing questions from the top officials, the frozen situation finally begins to thaw.

The real turning point comes with a poverty alleviation project. Despite years of massive investment, it has achieved little. Everyone avoids this mess, and it has drawn criticism toward Zhang Ran’s leader. Guided by the System, Zhang Ran accompanies his leader into the field, pinpoints the project’s problems, and devises a sustainable new approach that combines local resources with distinctive regional strengths. He even anticipates and eliminates the smallest implementation risks.

The plan meets with heavy resistance, but every step unfolds just as Zhang Ran predicted. In the end, the project not only succeeds in lifting people out of poverty, but becomes a model rural revitalization project that draws attention throughout the province! With these impressive results behind him, the leader reverses his fortunes at a stroke and returns to the heart of power. As the greatest force behind the scenes, Zhang Ran earns his leader’s complete trust and the respect of his colleagues through sheer ability. Amid the shifting currents of politics, he carves out a solid path to promotion for himself!
