Just as Ji Yang intended to appoint Zheng Hong as his secretary, in a small village school, Zheng Hong looked at the children before him with a bitter expression on his face.
Just a few days earlier, Zheng Hong had been demoted yet again, reassigned to teach in this rural school.
Zheng Hong was a college graduate who, after graduation, joined the county government, believing he would have some prospects. Fortune seemingly in his favor, he became the secretary to the newly appointed county head.
He had thought that this would be the start of great advancements in his life, but it was not long before he realized the new county head was at odds with the local power groups, and a fierce struggle ensued between them.
As a recent university graduate, Zheng Hong had also engaged in the struggle alongside the new county head against those local powers.
However, they had underestimated the viciousness of their opponents who plotted and caused the county head to die in a car accident.
