99 Dinner parties, 98 kinds of words, 28 years of official career - see how Li Mo, a grassroots man, used his tongue to move the pyramid of power between cups and cups, and made a shocking counterattack from "aphasic" to "speech enlightened".
At the age of 22, he failed the public examination and was picked up as a correspondent by Zhou Yan, deputy director of the county party committee office. The first time he attended a dinner party, he offended the finance director by saying something wrong.
Zhou Yan told him: "In officialdom, listening is more important than speaking."
He began to learn to be obedient, learn to speak, and learn not to speak.
From understanding the "fish-eye theory of political achievement" to deciphering the "crab claw code", from using "bitter melon to counterattack" to "turning the table with warm noodles"...
99 Dinner parties, 99 kinds of words, every time the cup and cup are crossed is a power game.
He found out the truth about the July 15 mining disaster, sent three leaders to prison, offended countless people, and saved countless people.
But what he owes most is his family who has been waiting for him for 28 years.
This is an epic about leveraging power with tongue, and it is also a story about ordinary people guarding their conscience.
