Shen Yan, a foreign bodyguard with no family background or backing, came to the remote Qinghuai County government office in the prosperous Lingzhou City alone. Starting from the lowest level of white-bodied police officer, he entered the ancient grassroots workplace with complex human relationships and dense hidden rules.
When he first entered the arresting ward, he was ostracized by the local policemen, shouldering all the dirty work and making things difficult for him every day. If there is no one to rely on, he relies on the skills and observation skills he has developed as a dart boy; if he doesn't know the officialdom, he observes silently, asks for advice humbly, and works step by step in the undercurrent of the county government.
The small yamen is like a microcosm of the workplace: the collusion between officials and businessmen, the network of favors between officials and officials, the deep-rooted bad rules, the overt and covert fights among colleagues, every step is like walking on thin ice. Shen Yan is neither greedy nor possessive, neither humble nor arrogant. He solves backlog cases, catches bandits, and wins the appreciation of his superiors with his solid political achievements. He cleverly breaks unwritten rules and softens interpersonal conflicts. He not only adheres to the bottom line of the law, but also takes care of the livelihood of his colleagues, and gradually wins people's hearts.
He sees through the world but is unsophisticated, understands the rules but does not work hard, works with all his heart when dealing with his superiors, is sympathetic to the people's sentiments, and treats his subordinates with both kindness and power. From being a despised outsider, to quelling disputes, clearing up public order, and finally settling into the position of Qinghuai's chief arrester, Shen Yan relied on his ability, sense of proportion, and original intention to embark on a solid counterattack in the turbulent grassroots officialdom.
