A seemingly predetermined mid-level labor union competition at Nanzhou Bank became the first opening to open up the corruption network in the local financial system.
On one side is the power and money empire built by branch president Chen Mingda. Behind the 2 billion illegal credit project is an intricate chain of interests that spans the political and business circles. On the other side is Li Jianguo, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, leading a group of adherents. In the gap between human relationships and rules, power desire and the bottom line, they use rules as a blade to launch a charge against the airtight corruption network.
Twenty years of love and debt, a two-sided chess game on the edge of a knife, and the concerns of people's livelihood in unfinished buildings are all unfolding in this smokeless workplace war. When power tries to override the rules, only those who stick to the bottom line can find the right path in the turbulent workplace.
