Wang Shuangli (Niu Zhenhua) is the acting curator of a local cultural center. This curator has been in office for several years, and he cannot be promoted even if he wants to, but there are no other changes. Unexpectedly, one day, a new curator, Lao Ma (Lei Kesheng), came, which made Wang Shuangli further away from the director. The new curator, Lao Ma, was originally a deputy township head. Wang Shuangli thought he was a bumpkin, and he was very dissatisfied. He took advantage of his familiarity with the interpersonal relationships in the cultural center and tried every means to give Lao Ma problems. After several rounds of competition, Lao Ma was finally squeezed out, and Wang Shuangli became the acting curator again, and was reused by the leaders again. Unexpectedly, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind, and the secretary Xiao Yan (Li Qiang) became the new curator. Wang Shuangli was unwilling to give up, and fought with Xiao Yan again, trying to squeeze him out. Can Wang Shuangli get what he wants this time?
