1. Entering the workplace for the first time: The male protagonist Lin Yan graduated from college, gave up his job in a big city, and returned to a remote town in his hometown county to work as a party and government clerk. With the original intention of "doing things for the people", he faced the triple test of trivial office affairs, rejection by colleagues, and complex interpersonal relationships at the grassroots level.
2. Coming to the fore: When the town was hit by heavy rains and floods, the main road was washed away, and when the leaders were trying to pass the buck, Lin Yan took the initiative to ask for help, worked out an emergency plan all night, coordinated with villagers and construction teams, and opened a temporary passage within 3 days, which was noticed by the county party committee secretary.
3. The first crisis: When he was responsible for statistics on farmers' subsidies, he discovered that some village cadres had falsely reported claims. He refused to "turn a blind eye" and collected evidence to report to the superiors. Although he offended local forces, he was recognized by the county Commission for Discipline Inspection and was transferred to the deputy section chief of the comprehensive section of the county government office.
