The Old Workhorse of Officialdom

A second chance from fate is never a coincidence.

Chen Ping'an spent more than a decade writing reports in the government system, yet at 48, he was still only a Level Four Chief Clerk.

No official post, no power, no presence. His leaders called on him when they needed him and treated him like he was invisible when they didn't.

A cup of tea, a report, a life with no end in sight.

Then he was reborn.

Back in the year 2000, back at 35, back in the obscure Party and Government Office of Yunshan Town.

In his previous life, he worked like an old ox with his head down, only to be trampled on as others climbed the ladder. This time, he would no longer be invisible.

He would make them see him.

Secretary Li is about to be transferred. The new secretary arrives, and his first order of business is to replace people. In his previous life, Chen Ping'an was pushed aside. This time, he'll strike first.

Six people, six different agendas. Who is a friend, and who is an enemy? He must tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice.

Writing reports while keeping watch.

Getting things done while learning how to deal with people.

From the township to the county seat, from the sidelines to the heart of power. He'll climb the ladder one step at a time.

**This time, he'll take back everything he lost in his previous life.**
