    This book is perfect for anyone wanting to understand officialdom. It's all very logical, and you can even learn some official jargon along the way. I hate protagonists with overly powerful or ridiculously stupid abilities. The protagonist of this book is genuinely intelligent! Even in officialdom, he's not just reckless; he's adept at navigating interpersonal relationships, leveraging power, and employing both overt and covert strategies. He knows when to be low-key and when to be ruthless. This mature and steady "old fox" protagonist is what makes this book so compelling!

    This book boasts a solid plot, falling somewhere between a fast-paced, action-packed story and a realistic portrayal of officialdom, offering both enjoyment and a satisfying read. Wang Li's gradual rise through the ranks is logical, and his rotations through multiple positions as deputy director demonstrate the author's intention to lay the groundwork for his grassroots experience. However, some plot points feel formulaic, such as the lectures Wang Li receives from his grandfather before each promotion, emphasizing the importance of careful consideration in handling affairs. But this suggests the author isn't just padding the word count, but rather foreshadowing potential difficulties Wang Li might face later. In summary, the content is solid, the pacing is appropriate, and while enjoyable, it doesn't feel mindless, making it a standout among officialdom novels. Recommended!
