This is not a novel that teaches you how to succeed.
It teaches you to understand how the world works before you fail.
In this society,
Some people believe that as long as they go the right way and do things well, there will be rewards;
Some people believe that as long as they persist in their dreams, they will be seen one day.
They're both right.
But reality does not deliver.
A middle-level cadre who has climbed up in the state-owned enterprise system,
A director who is struggling to support himself in the film and television industry,
Because of a cultural tourism film and television project, I was pushed to the same table.
They thought it was cooperation,
Later I discovered that this was a game.
It is choice, exchange, commitment, and sacrifice.
This book won't tell you
"Should I compromise?"
I won't advise you either
"Do you want to persist?"
It will only take it apart layer by layer to show you:
How rules choose people!
How correctness is exploited!
How dreams begin to hurt!
And——
When you have paid enough, why can the world still deny you?
They all thought I was cooperating.
But only I know that I am choosing the consequences I will bear.
