Summary
By the Huangpu River stands Luoshen, a top global consulting firm. In its glittering 80th-floor banquet hall, a new batch of newcomers from China's most prestigious universities has just arrived.
Among all the newcomers, Wang Xiaojing's academic background is unremarkable. She is on the替补 list for becoming a full-time employee, and she knows she must fight with everything she has to stay at the company that changed her fate years ago. The consulting industry looks glamorous, but behind it lies crushing pressure; colleagues seem harmonious, but behind the scenes is fierce competition with open and covert attacks; and there is the demonic supervisor Luo Ruiheng, constantly applying pressure and pushing her forward step by step...
The road from workplace newcomer to outstanding professional is long. Those who would wear the crown must bear its weight!
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Young readers new to the workplace who are going through a probation period or facing pressure to become full-time
- Readers curious about consulting and white-collar workplace culture
- Readers who enjoy workplace novels centered on women's growth
- People who need light reading for commutes or weekends and prefer fast-moving plots
Not a good fit for
- Readers hoping for specific consulting methodologies or practical guides
- Readers who prefer slow-paced literary fiction with weak plotlines
- People prone to anxiety over workplace competition and high-pressure depictions
Reading tips
- Read in chapter order, treating Wang Xiaojing's path to becoming full-time as the main line, and note how her choices in coping with pressure change each time.
- When reading passages about colleague rivalry and pressure from superiors, pause to record your own workplace reflections rather than rushing to judge the characters.
- If consulting is unfamiliar, treat the scenes as an entry point to the industry's atmosphere and supplement with relevant nonfiction afterward.
- Best read in two or three concentrated commute sessions to keep the plot coherent.

About the author
Luojia is an author about whom limited public information is available, with three works currently held in the collection. Judging from the categories of these works, Luojia's writing spans military and war fiction, modern romance, and social fiction. Representative works include New Star (Xinxiu) and A Hundred Plans for a Thousand Rooms (Qianfang Baiji). New Star appears twice in the collection, possibly as different editions or volumes of the same title, while A Hundred Plans for a Thousand Rooms, inferred from its title and category, may touch on real-world social issues. Luojia's works show a certain range in subject matter, addressing military life as well as modern relationships and social reality, which suggests the author's attempts across different narrative fields. Since information such as name, nationality, and biographical dates remains unconfirmed, a complete picture of the author's background and overall style is difficult to outline; readers may still form a sense of the narrative orientation and thematic preferences through the works mentioned above.
