The Thirty-Six Stratagems: I Climb to the Top Through Wisdom

Liu Wenqiang faces the threat of layoffs in his career when he comes across the Thirty-Six Stratagems left behind by his father.

With the book as his only weapon, he launches a desperate counterattack in the treacherous Linyuan business world. From factional struggles within Hongtu Group to the dark corruption surrounding land in Jiangdong New District, he advances cautiously, using ancient stratagems to break through modern predicaments.

When an audit storm sweeps from inside the company across all of Linyuan, he finds himself facing more than just professional revenge. He must choose: after clearing his father's name, will he retire at the height of his success, or stay and rebuild the city's business order?

This is a comeback story with strategy as its sword, and a modern business-warfare parable written with the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
