Synopsis

Yang Chenguang spent three years doing odd jobs at the Chunshan Town Government. With no connections and no one to back him, he was just a temp anyone could boss around.

The messes everyone else dodged were dumped on him;

the tough problems no one else dared touch were tossed his way.

He endured it for three years, waiting for his chance.

He'd never been interested in a political career. He'd only wanted a job close to home.

But reality left him no choice but to climb higher.

From handling villagers' petitions and recovering land requisition compensation, to stamping out crooked practices and taking on difficult projects,

others relied on scheming, while he relied on hard work.

Others played mind games, while he relied on results.

Whoever looked down on him, he would slap them in the face with his achievements;

whoever gave him a hard time, he would prove himself through his ability.

Three years doing odd jobs, then one breakthrough that changed everything.

From temporary worker to permanent staff, from a grassroots clerk straight to the leadership team!

He never groveled or offered bribes, never embezzled or took corrupt payments.

Through sheer hard work, he carved out a path to the top of the official world!
