Cao Zhongjue is an ordinary maintenance electrician at Anluqi Second Casting Co., Ltd. He is highly skilled, diligent and down-to-earth, and with steady hard work, he has climbed from the position of section chief to the deputy general manager in charge of equipment of the group. However, every step of this seemingly inspiring road to promotion is hidden by the trap he set up himself - layer upon layer of corrosion, and every step of the way.
He made the company's equipment management look shiny on the outside, but it was already rusty on the inside. Huge amounts of corruption, leaks of trade secrets, and frequent engineering quality accidents have left the once-powerful steel giant riddled with holes. At the same time, the Discipline Inspection Commission's secret lines were quietly tightened. Starting from an anonymous reporting letter, following the clues, the abuses that had been in place for more than ten years came to light one by one.
When the task force opened the door of the inquiry room, this once high-spirited "young man" finally understood that every step he built eventually led to the abyss. The enterprise has learned from the painful experience, eradicated the cancer, regrouped, and prospered again under the strong protection of party discipline and state law. And he will use his eighteen-year sentence to redeem his original intention that was completely lost in power and desire.
