   [Laughing and crying] 1. Two main characters: the son is reborn and reveals his true colors right from the start. Father and son conspire together, the father rises through the ranks, has good interpersonal relationships, and actively gains the appreciation and trust of his superiors, currently being the second-in-command of the city. The son is about to enter the political arena. 2. At the beginning, he encounters a second-generation official who helps him with stock trading. The author also fixed the bugs. Later, during the financial crisis, he helps fight against foreign capital like Soros. 5. To reiterate, this is not a traditional political novel, but it is quite good. The beginning focuses on solving cases, and the later part involves high-level political maneuvering and power struggles. This is a story of initial setbacks followed by a triumphant rise. 2. Because it is a new novel, I don't remember this kind of formula. I forgot the rest, but it is definitely a good book.
