A mistake in the paperwork leaves him taking the blame for his boss.
A colleague steals his chance at an award, then quietly ostracizes him.
Even his longtime girlfriend breaks up with him.
Chen Mu hits rock bottom from the start. He has no connections, no cheat abilities, and he isn't reborn.
All he can rely on is the experience he has gained through hard work and the opportunities he has fought tooth and nail to win.
A secondment notice gives him a chance to change his fate.
He thinks he is simply changing jobs, but when Chen Mu investigates a set of unusual project figures, he gradually uncovers the blame-shifting, personal entanglements, and hidden interests beneath the calm surface.
He lets the evidence speak, investigates projects, cuts through evasion, and solves problems affecting people's livelihoods, breaking through one obstacle after another amid tangled relationships and competing interests.
From a marginal figure, he becomes a capable doer no one dares underestimate, then steadily climbs toward the pinnacle of power.
Facing attacks from both sides, Chen Mu always has the same answer:
“No rush. First, let's get the facts straight, then make whoever's responsible sign their name.”
A programmed machine!
Good-looking and meaningful.
