As a graduate of the prestigious Central South Agricultural University, Gu Weimin returned to his hometown of Linchuan County with ideals in mind and started as a grassroots civil servant. With diligence and talent, he was gradually promoted to deputy township mayor and town party committee secretary. He and his university classmate and agricultural expert Jiang Yunfan took root in the countryside and were committed to the development of modern agriculture and rural revitalization. The two shared similar goals and had a deep relationship. At the same time, Gu Weimin's first love, county newspaper reporter Lin Xiaoyue, has always been paying attention to his growth, and the two have maintained a subtle emotional connection.
Linchuan County Party Committee Secretary Ma Xiangqian was scheming and took a fancy to Gu Weimin's potential and clean background. He deliberately recruited him, promoted him to an important position in the county investment bureau, and introduced him to local entrepreneur Jin Sheng. Jinsheng's Shengda Group is involved in many fields such as sand and gravel, agricultural projects, and has a close relationship with Ma Xiangqian. Jinsheng arranged for Zhu Tingting, an innocent-looking member of the Investment Promotion Bureau, to get close to Gu Weimin, gradually eroding Gu Weimin's moral defense line. Because Jiang Yunfan insisted on principles on the high-standard agricultural farmland construction project, which touched the interests of the Shengda Group, former classmates and friends began a battle between justice and evil, and finally ushered in the dawn.
Under the temptation of money and beauty, Gu Weimin developed a lover's relationship with Zhu Tingting, and his morality began to decline. He was promoted to deputy county magistrate, in charge of agriculture and investment promotion, and was deeply involved in the interest network woven by Ma Xiangqian and Jinsheng. For the sake of political achievements and private interests, Gu Weimin opened the door for Jinsheng in the approval of funds to benefit farmers and agricultural construction projects.
