In the top public relations company "Chuangyu Communication", Q4 every year not only means the year-end sprint, but also hides the "promotion field" that determines the direction of the workplace in the next three years. Su Mingwei, a senior account director, is in charge of the biggest case of the year, the "Xingtu Automobile Brand Renewal Plan". She was originally the top seed candidate for promotion to vice president, but she encountered a double crisis during the critical period of the project - Lin Zhe, an airborne "returnee elite" with a new digital communication plan, became her direct competitor; more fatally, the core data of the project was leaked anonymously, pointing the finger at the team she led.
On the one hand, there are cruel conflicts in the workplace rules, and on the other hand, the crumbling mentor-apprentice relationship, Su Mingwei struggles between "securing the project" and "fighting for promotion." She gradually discovered that behind Lin Zhe, there seemed to be a power game involving the company's top management, and the truth of the data leak was actually closely related to a customer complaint case that was deliberately covered up three years ago. When personal future collides with professional ethics, when team trust intertwines with the temptation of interests, Su Mingwei must find her own rules of survival in the storm of the cubicle - the workplace is never a black and white game, real promotion is to keep the original intention amidst complex rules and control the direction in the whirlpool of interests.
