The shopping mall is the mirror of the officialdom, and the officialdom is the chessboard of the shopping mall - the real winner never makes a move on the chessboard.
- Cross-narrative between two protagonists (businessman's perspective + official's perspective), breaking the limitations of a single narrative
- Instead of describing "good officials" and "bad businessmen" in stereotypes, it presents the real choices of people caught in the system.
- With corruption investigation as the main engine, the rhythm is tight and the suspense density is high
- Combines business wisdom, power game and human depth
