The Ming Dynasty Promotion Chronicle: From County Office to Grand Secretary

A vice president of Organization Development at a publicly listed company, he specializes in organizational change, performance appraisals, talent reviews, and process reengineering. He dies suddenly while working overtime on a PowerPoint presentation, then transmigrates to the twentieth year of the Wanli era in the Ming dynasty, becoming the assistant county magistrate of Qinghe County in North Zhili, a rank-eight official. He has the same name as before.

No System, no storage space, no martial arts.

All he has is a complete OD toolkit in his head and a pocket-sized leather notebook (filled with modern management models, with a limited number of pages that will run out eventually, and regarded by the ancients as a "heavenly book").

The protagonist can't make glass, cement, or gunpowder. All he knows how to do is organize people, assess them, streamline processes, and manage them.

His boss rejected the last PowerPoint presentation he revised before he died. After transmigrating, he thinks: I'm damn well going to prove that these management methods work!
