"Officialship, Are You Afraid of Me Checking You" is a realistic officialdom novel with the young cadre Qin Mo as the protagonist. The story begins in 2002. Qin Mo, a talented graduate of China University of Political Science and Law, acted impulsively due to emotional frustration and was pushed to a remote town to guard a reservoir. His life hit rock bottom. An accidental rescue experience became a turning point in his fate. Due to complicated opportunities, he returned to his official career and was promoted to secretary of the township commission for discipline inspection, starting a counterattack.
The novel truly shows the ecological picture of grassroots officialdom through Qin Mo's growth trajectory from deputy department to deputy department. Faced with the intrigues in the engineering project, the intricate network of relationships, and the open and covert attacks from all sides, Qin Mo adhered to his original intention of "asking for life for the people" and used his professional ability and extraordinary courage to break through the competition again and again. The cases he investigated ranged from township project corruption to county-level economic nest cases, and eventually involved higher-level interest groups. His upright style made him a "black-faced boss" who frightened corrupt elements.
At the same time, Qin Mo's emotional world was also ups and downs. The admiration of Chen Sisi, a girl from the provincial capital, the entanglement with former classmates, the outstanding women encountered at work... Multiple emotional clues are closely intertwined with the main plot, and together they create a three-dimensional character with flesh and blood, who is constantly weighing ideals and reality, principles and emotions.
