A storyline that reflects this transformation is when Lin, the protagonist, first arrives at the subbranch and encounters difficulties with Zhang Jiaming, a 50-something assistant and right-hand man of the president. Despite lacking banking expertise, Zhang Jiaming is skilled in flattery, famously going as far as personally tasting pet food to impress his boss. Utilizing his manipulative tactics, he unjustly distributes bonuses among his colleagues despite not contributing any real effort. Through determination and cleverness, Lin manages to confront the president, reform the bonus distribution system, and rectify the unfair practices.
"The drama will be released overseas in the future. We also hope that foreign audiences can see from the drama the changes and progress in China, witness the spirit of contemporary Chinese youths who are determined to strive forward in the complex workplace environment, and who have the courage to speak out against injustice and unfairness," says Yan.
"We hope that foreign audiences can feel a contemporary China full of vitality, creativity, and a sense of responsibility," she adds.
