Zhou Zheng was reborn.
In his previous life, he was the secretary of the county party committee and also a prisoner.
From secretary to being in charge, he took what everyone sees as a "fast track" - following the right person, walking the right path, and taking care of everything step by step.
But at the end of that road is the incandescent light in the detention room, the decision to expel him from the party, and the verdict of ten years in prison.
When I opened my eyes, I was transported back to 2015.
The leader Zhang Hongming patted him on the shoulder: "Follow me and I will be promoted to deputy director in half a year."
In the previous life, he nodded.
In this life, he said: "I want to go to the grassroots level."
Everyone thought he was crazy.
Instead of taking the broad road, go to the mud puddle in the township.
But Zhou Zheng knew that what he lacked was not opportunities, but roots.
He sat in an office for three years and wrote materials for three years, thinking he understood the grassroots level.
In fact, he doesn't understand anything.
Power is not about sitting on top and giving orders, it is about standing in the mud and solving problems.
In this life, he doesn't want shortcuts or a quick promotion, he just wants to sink his roots into the soil and become a person who truly "understands" the common people.
Only by not using power for one's own benefit can we achieve steady and long-term progress.
