Du Haichuan was demoted from the director of the administrative office to an ordinary clerk, and was transferred to the position closest to the door of the business unit, guarding the old clicking printer. There are fishhook-like temptations hidden in the words of the newly appointed Director Zhang, and the tone of his former colleague Xiao Chen has also changed since he was promoted. An old acquaintance, Sister Wang, reminded him that the new leader has too many evil intentions and should be careful not to become a target of "establishing authority". Sure enough, young Xiao Zhou was promoted to deputy unit chief, and Du Haichuan was asked to "assist" his work. He silently helped Xiao Zhou complete important reports, but at the end of the year he learned that he would be transferred to a second-line idle position. Faced with the tolerance of his wife Lin Jing and his father's family words of "one breath of life", Du Haichuan walked out of the unit building holding the cardboard box. Under the gray winter sky, he saw the new buds of the willow trees, straightening their backs in the cold wind.
