[A grassroots official’s path to promotion: political maneuvering, power struggles, anti-corruption, rural revitalization, urban renewal, and poverty alleviation]
Caught in a three-way power struggle within the Organization Department, Ji Heng, a man with no connections, becomes a pawn in everyone else’s game. But when he rises from Longwan Village, factional feuds, political machinations, and long-laid conspiracies hidden in plain sight all crumble before him.
See how Ji Heng stages a stunning comeback from his post as a village-based secretary, goes from pawn to player, and makes his way to the pinnacle of power!
“To me, poverty alleviation has never been about helping others. It’s about seeking the meaning of life together with my fellow countrymen.”
“We reclaim fertile land from barren soil and nurture hope in the face of hardship.”
“This road has no end, only a legacy passed down by generations who press forward one after another.”
Every inch of this land needs someone to give shape to its awakening. Every crossing of vast, turbulent seas begins with a burning heart beneath a simple blue robe.
The most romantic thing in life is to turn barren mountains green and write poetry out of poverty, together with you!
May we journey together across this great land!
An old man at home is seriously ill, so I have to go back and take a look. Updates may not be available for the next two days.
The boat is heavy on the mountain, the moon is bright, I miss you so much
A lamp outside the curtain spreads half of the city's wind. Before the tea cools down, you lean on my shoulder and sleep. The sound of flowers falling under the eaves awakens the small courtyard. When you look back, your thoughts are weightless at that moment. The night is even gentler with you, and even my breath is blown away and turns to drizzle. Your name falls lightly on my hand, like a stroke of writing at the end of the moonlight. Don't say that you will always stick to this moment, hiding the stars in your sleeves one by one. If you ask me about this life, what do I want? I want to have your greetings every night.
Jiang Jiyue: Okay, okay, you still dare to play tricks on me.
Zhang Xinyan: Look, look, what did I say? I am not the only one who is revolting against you!
[Today's home decoration, there is only one chapter]
The bathroom was filled with steam. Zhang Xinyan closed her eyes and raised her head, letting the hot water wash over her neck. Amidst the sound of water rushing, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. The "Xinyan" she just said was filled with endless tenderness. It would be great if... She could marry him. The wedding was to be held at the best hotel in the city. She wore a hand-embroidered satin wedding dress, and Ji Heng wore a crisp suit... Forget it, I didn't want to think about it anymore. The water was a bit cold. She shivered and turned off the faucet. The mist gradually dissipated, and only her flushed face was reflected in the mirror.
Ji Heng: Is it easy for me to go to class? This one plots against me, that one plots against me, damn, they all think I'm easy to bully, right? Okay, thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty! Zhang Xinyan: Yeah, yeah, thirty-one nights, sixty-one days, waiting for you. Li Huai: What! Only thirty? Monthly subscription, I want monthly subscription, I will go to the finance department for reimbursement later!
Ji Heng: The teacher said that the outsider status is given to you by yourself. Even if you don't have a background, you have to pretend to have it. Who dares to bet that you don't have this thing?
Ji Heng: How could I, a tall and dignified man of seven feet, do such an obscene and dirty thing? Besides, can things in officialdom be called peeking? That's an investigation!
