Demoted to Deputy County Chief, I Make Tourism Go Viral Through Livestreams

He Borong, the youngest department-level official in the provincial department, is punished for offending the powerful and sent to Heiling City's Liuhe County, in the subsidence zone of the northwest.

The local government is 3 billion yuan in the red, the population has shrunk by 60 percent, and the area has been labeled a negative example of a resource-depleted city.

Everyone is waiting to laugh at him, expecting him to leave the political arena in disgrace.

But on his very first day in office, He Borong holds no meetings and makes no inspections. He simply props up his phone and starts a livestream beside an abandoned mine.

"Everyone, this is Heiling. You see a mess. I see a gold mine."

He turns abandoned mine shafts into an underground adventure park, transforms a coal-gangue pile into an industrial heritage park, and makes veteran miners top-tier intangible cultural heritage guides...

Someone tries to trip him up? He faces them down on a livestream. Someone files a false report against him? He uses the data to publicly humiliate them. Someone tries to steal the credit? He cuts off their source and leaves them with nothing.

When tens of millions pour into Heiling's livestreams and the abandoned coal city becomes a nationwide tourism top-tier star, those who once suppressed him finally realize in horror:

This young man was never sent there to pad his resume. He came to flip the table!
