Liu Yunde was transferred from the mayor of Changzhou City, Andong Province to the post of Director of Andong Province's Beijing Office. Although it was a transfer of department-level cadres, the intention behind it was intriguing. After Liu Yunde took office, he quickly started his work and became familiar with the internal situation. Zhang Xiaojie, a young cadre of the secretariat, entered Liu Yunde's vision and became Liu Yunde's secretary because of his outstanding professional ability. Due to Liu Yunde’s airborne landing, it squeezed the promotion space of the Beijing Office’s second-in-command, and different voices were generated within the Beijing Office. A political struggle between Liu Yunde and the others in the Beijing Office launched overtly or secretly. While balancing internal interests, Liu Yunde gradually played down the political disputes in the Beijing Office, and instead actively expanded external social interactions and established the Beijing Andong Enterprise Chamber of Commerce. The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce made Liu Yunde famous for a while, and he was praised by Wang Zejiang, secretary of the provincial party committee, and the Chamber of Commerce attracted a large number of businessmen. Businessman Jiao Zhixin met Liu Yunde through the platform of the Chamber of Commerce. After Liu Yunde's introduction, he met Wang Zejiang, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. After gaining the trust of Wang Zejiang and Liu Yunde, Jiao Zhixin began to deploy financial means to control state-owned enterprises in Andong Province with low-cost funds. Jiao Zhixin's merger and acquisition process was not smooth. He was obstructed by Wu Bing, director of the Provincial SASAC, with a sense of justice. Jiao Zhixin did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bribe Wang Zejiang and Liu Yunde many times. In the end, under Wang Zejiang's intervention, Jiao Zhixin successfully achieved a controlling stake in a state-owned enterprise, and immediately began to reduce costs and streamline personnel, which arouse group petitions. As the country’s anti-corruption struggle further deepened, the Central Inspection Team conducted a second round of inspections in Andong Province. Wang Zejiang, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, was brought to justice. Liu Yunde was also deeply involved in the case, and ultimately could not escape legal punishment. As the secretary, Zhang Xiaojie followed Liu Yunde closely and witnessed everything. Zhang Xiaojie witnessed his rising, banqueting and collapse. Zhang got tired of politics. At the same time, Zhang also carefully managed a love story, but in the drunken city of Beijing, love without material guarantee is like a flower in water and a moon in mirror, and it did not last long. Lovers would eventually become passers-by. Zhang Xiaojie was once again lost in confusion, into a reflection on the system and questioning the concept of love in modern society.
