Litsun is a state-owned heavy manufacturing company that's in deep financial trouble. They are about to go bankrupt, and the only way out that Litsun's chairman Fang Rui Zhou sees is to sell off all inventory and production machinery, and change the whole company to a financial firm. This means that 6,000 out of the 10,000 employees will keep a job - even though those jobs would completely change. For double-PhD holder and researcher Wei Cheng, this is a total disaster. He is very close to finishing the testing of the engine that he's invented and that - he thinks - will change the company's fortunes. He often clashes with welder Jin Yan Zi. She is in favor of the plan because it is for the benefit of most employees, even though she couldn't be a welder anymore but has to become a receptionist which will ruin her personal dreams. Yan Zi's boyfriend, who is studying in the States, wants to come back to China after his PhD to work for Litsun again. He meets Chairman Fang's daughter abroad and gets roped into the planning for Litsun's future. The final sign-off is with the party's provincial department, and everybody tries to convince them that their plan is the right one. (Source: cloggie at MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Reviews
Eye-opening drama about the running of a State-Owned company. With a cracking story & cast
This drama was extremely interesting for me with its insights about how a Chinese State-Owned companies is run. Then, add a great story, brilliant characters and an amazing cast, and I found myself binge-watching a 36 episode drama about a manufacturing firm and the development of engines.The cast is fantastic. Yang Shou does a great job of portraying the social-awkward brilliant researcher Wei Cheng (who is actually socially awkward, it's not just an excuse for some idol-CEO to be nasty to everybody) and Jiao Jun Yan has become one of my new favourite actresses as (girl-crush material) welder Jin Yanzi, a blue-collar worker who wants nothing more than swapping her blue helmet for a white one (a sign of being a team leader). They start off on the wrong foot when Wei Cheng is a judge for a welding competition and points out that some of her skills are obsolete which makes her come second instead of first. She thinks he's all just theory and knows nothing about work in practice. But they end up appreciating the other's skills and knowledge.
The drama begins when the chairman of Litsun decides that they don't make any money as a manufacturing company to keep going and have to re-invent themselves as a finance firm instead. Now he has to get everybody on board for his plan, from the workers to the provincial party leadership. The drama shows the impact this initiative has from the workers straight through to the top. But also, it shows the importance that is being placed on developing technology domestically rather than always importing parts (and engines) from abroad. The tension between continuing research and making money is one that drives this drama but because it's made personal and has great characters, it's really gripping.
