In the rainy season of 2012, Chen Yu, a poor boy from the Qinba Mountains, was trapped in a 15-square-meter rental house in Jinzhou. His hopes were crushed by 37 rejection letters. The 50,000 yuan surgery fee for his father's broken leg became the first straw that broke his back. No one would have thought that this young man, who could not even hold on to his dignity, would rise from a low-level loan officer to the helm of hundreds of billions of capital in more than ten years. He would then give up business and become an official, stepping into the thrilling game of officialdom.
During his ten years in business, he changed his destiny based on a piece of risk control plan. He was betrayed by his brothers and framed by his rivals. He was on the verge of bankruptcy several times, but turned around in the cold winter of the industry. During his half-life in business, he was parachuted into a deputy director-level cadre. He was marginalized, had to wear small shoes, and took the blame. He survived in the factional strife. He handled a tens of billions of unfinished buildings and a three billion financial bombing case. Every step was like walking on thin ice.
The lover who accompanied him all the way supported his dream with his youth; the brother who was an acquaintance of his was ruined for him in a desperate situation; and the enemy in the dark always laid a deadly trap and wanted to devour him completely. From the mountains to the Bohai Sea, from being penniless to being in charge, he has his original intention, but he has to make a choice in the whirlpool of desire and power.
Is it fate that favors you along this journey, or is it a struggle at every step? If he keeps the bottom line, what price will he pay? When the tide rises from the sea, life is swept away, and all the forbearance and madness, loyalty and betrayal will be revealed in the ending.
