Shi Jin, a veteran, burdened with ten years of military glory and the disappointment of suddenly returning home, walked into the Yonggu Town Agricultural Machinery Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. What awaits him is not the stability he imagined, but a warehouse as chaotic as ruins, intricate human barriers, and old abuses everywhere.
He is like a silent rivet, taking root in the most inconspicuous corner. Use the rigor of organizing ammunition boxes to fight against the chaos in the warehouse; use the loyalty forged by the troops to face the undercurrent of interests and the cold arrows of conspiracy. From warehouse keeper to production dispatcher, he took one step at a time, in the oil-stained machine tools, and in the fierce collision between reform and conservatism, he rediscovered his "position" and value.
At the same time, the elegant and tough technician Shen Yuzhu, like a quietly growing green bamboo, walked into his tight world. Her clear and powerful handwriting, her focus and calmness in the technical world, and her silent understanding and support, have made a subtle but continuous echo under his hard shell. From jointly responding to crises to working together to promote innovation, the two hearts gradually got closer in the cold steel torrent.
This is a story about how a veteran re-enlisted on the "second battlefield" in peacetime. It is also a microcosm of an old factory struggling to seek innovation in the wave of the times. It is also a story of a warm friendship that quietly sprouted under steel, engine oil and cold data and was finally quenched into steel.
Intent: In the furnace of changing times, a veteran uses loyalty and tenacity to rediscover the coordinates of responsibility, love and life in the cold steel jungle.
