The Road to Power: A Royal Flush from the Grassroots Up

While others fight tooth and nail to get into provincial government offices, Peking University graduate Lin Chen throws himself into Lingshan Town, the poorest, most chaotic, and most rundown place in the entire province.

This is hell mode from the start.

No one believes in him, no one is willing to help him, and everyone is waiting to see him fail and leave.

But Lin Chen refuses to give in.

From a newcomer everyone looks down on to a deputy section-level deputy director promoted ahead of schedule and entrusted with real power, he proves himself and makes all his doubters eat their words.

Breaking deadlocks at the grassroots, navigating official rivalries, attracting investment, revitalizing the countryside, maneuvering at the municipal level, and planning at the provincial level...

He relies on no connections and plays no dirty tricks. He gets things done, wins the people’s trust, and rises step by step.

Watch as he climbs from a low-ranking grassroots clerk to become a capable official praised by the people of his region!
