You were asked to write a political intrigue drama, but you wrote "Da Ming 1566".

At this moment, Professor Shuping, who rarely uses exaggerated praise, stood up from the judges' panel and immediately declared that this line would be remembered for all time.

Perhaps a century from now, when we revisit the literary masterpieces and timeless classics of this era, Wang Yongji's words from "The Ming Dynasty" will still be an enduring and timeless piece of writing. Because between the lines lies a powerful force that touches the very heart.

His ability to readily recall and recite data on people's livelihoods within his jurisdiction stems from countless sleepless nights spent reviewing files and countless days under the scorching sun spent traveling to the fields and villages, sharing the joys and sorrows of the people and personally experiencing their hardships.

Focus, determination, and doing one thing thoroughly and diligently to the end, mastering one's responsibilities to the extreme and refining them to perfection—this in itself is a powerful force capable of moving people.

Watching Wang Yongji's lines, countless viewers in front of the screen fell into deep thought. What had previously captivated and mesmerized them about "Da Ming Dynasty" was the intricate and brilliant battles of wits and the unpredictable power struggles in the court, and the profound and enigmatic nature of those in high positions whose every word was laced with hidden meaning and hidden cunning.

They had all secretly fantasized about what it would be like to be in such a high position, where a single word could determine the future and fate of countless people.

When they snap out of this unrealistic fantasy and look down at the messy reality of their lives, they inevitably feel a lot of resentment and bitterness. They lament their unfulfilled talents. They lament that despite years of hard work, they've remained stagnant and unable to get promoted. They lament why they've lived a mediocre life, so different from the exciting life they imagined. They resent their superiors for being blind to their talents, preferring to promote mediocre people rather than giving them a second glance. They resent their humble origins, not being born into a wealthy family. They resent not being a prodigy, lacking the extraordinary understanding and enviable talent of others. But at this moment, Wang Yongji's lines abruptly awaken all the audience from the dazzling power struggles, and a true thought truly rises in their hearts.

"Even if I were put in Wang Yongji's position as the magistrate of Jiande, could I do as well as him?" "Could I set aside my official arrogance, refrain from bullying others, not covet the prestige and glory of a magistrate, and dedicate all my attention to the livelihoods and hardships of the people, understanding the situation in my jurisdiction so thoroughly?"

"Let alone the myriad and complicated affairs that a county magistrate has to manage, even in this position that I despise from the bottom of my heart, a position that I feel is a waste of my talent and youth, have I really put my heart into it? Have I really done my best?"

Thinking of this, countless viewers felt as if they had been struck hard by a hammer, and were suddenly deeply moved.

Yes, ever since I entered the workforce and joined the company, the dream of rapid promotion and meteoric rise has never come true. Instead, I'm just an inconspicuous cog in the machine, doing mundane and ordinary work day after day.

The initial enthusiasm for the workplace and work has long been worn away by the daily grind.

The initial enthusiasm for diligent study and humble learning vanished completely shortly after entering the workforce. Instead, I followed those seasoned veterans who slacked off and learned how to do things perfunctorily and slack off at work.

Work? Just do it adequately. Who can do a perfect job? The tasks within my job description, the professional knowledge that needs updating? Just do a haphazard job and get by. Why be so serious? Will learning these things give me a raise?

An unspoken silence slowly spread through the hearts of countless viewers in the live broadcast room, accompanied by waves of heartache. If Wang Yongji were like himself, indulging in a perfunctory and half-hearted manner, would he still be able to utter these resounding and powerful words in the main hall of the Zhejiang Governor's Office today?

Just as many viewers have secretly envied, in certain important formal occasions, some colleagues can speak eloquently and know business data like the back of their hand, and afterwards they are promoted and get better development opportunities.

They could only stand by, filled with envy, then turn away and lament the injustice of the world. But is the world really that unfair? The audience couldn't help but manage a bitter smile.

"It's never been that the world is unfair; it's just that I'm lazy and have never truly put in the effort." "Undeniably, many colleagues got promoted because of connections, but just as many others climbed the ladder through their own hard work and ability." "I, however, only focused on those who got promoted through connections, using that as an excuse to numb myself, as if my inability to advance was solely due to a lack of connections. But in reality, my abilities are mediocre, and I've never put in even a fraction more effort than others. So, besides drifting through life and accumulating seniority, what else can I hope for?"

"The phrase 'working diligently and conscientiously' repeatedly mentioned in 'The Ming Dynasty' was something I only vaguely understood before. But after seeing Wang Yongji today, I truly understand how heavy these four words are—as heavy as a thousand pounds." "All those scheming and manipulative power plays are illusory, nothing more than a mirage. Only by working diligently and conscientiously can one truly establish oneself and advance in one's career."

Gao Hong, the young man who had just entered the system and was attracted by the trending search terms, clenched his fists tightly. He felt that these words were deafening and stirred up a storm in his heart.

He was initially drawn in by trending search terms like "How dare the county magistrate challenge the governor?" Because he had only recently entered the system, he couldn't stand many of the unspoken rules and chaotic practices within it. He felt surrounded by darkness and turmoil, but he was powerless and had little influence, leaving him in a dilemma every day.

He had no hope whatsoever that he could gain any useful inspiration from "The Ming Dynasty".

But now, after reading Wang Yongji's lines, the young Gao Hong slowly lowered his head, unable to resist a self-deprecating laugh. "I can't stand this, I can't stand that, as if I'm the only one who's special, the only one, the only one who's aloof and arrogant." "But in reality, I've only just stepped into this place, I haven't experienced anything yet, so what do I really know?" "Dissatisfaction is acceptable, disapproval is acceptable, but shouldn't everything be based on me thoroughly understanding and mastering my work?"

"Otherwise, all ideas are castles in the air, and even your own dislikes will not be able to grasp the crux of the matter or the key points." Gao Hong took a deep breath, and the confusion that had accumulated in his eyes for a long time instantly disappeared.

He made up his mind: We have all the urban novel genres you like, welcome to visit. For now, he will stop worrying about those messy interpersonal relationships and chaotic rules, and focus on doing his job well, understanding all the matters within his authority, and thoroughly studying the entire process and every detail of the work.

Perhaps only when that time comes will he be able to generate some truly insightful and valuable new perspectives. Besides the ordinary audience, many high-ranking industry leaders and political figures, watching Wang Yongji's lines, also showed deep emotion on their faces.

For example, a key leader of a provincial-level unit is sitting in his office right now, lost in deep thought.

Once upon a time, when he was still working at the grassroots level, he was exactly like Wang Yongji, having a thorough understanding of the data on people's livelihood in his jurisdiction and being able to handle all matters, big and small, in his area with ease.

But as the days go by and my position rises higher and higher, can I still do what I did back then? Can I still be as sincere and enthusiastic about the people and their hardships as I was when I first started working?

If I calm down and think about it carefully, apart from the so-called "public reception day" on a fixed day each month, where I would meet a few people with a formulaic official smile and go through the motions, exchanging a few meaningless pleasantries, I haven't really gone deep into the grassroots and personally experienced the real hardships of people's lives for far too long.

Thinking of this, an undisguised look of shame appeared on his face. After a long silence, he let out a long sigh. Immediately afterwards, the leader picked up a pen and carefully copied the four characters "己溺己饥" (meaning "I am drowning in my own water, I am starving in my own stomach") onto a piece of paper.

After a moment's thought, he posted this clip from "The Ming Dynasty" in the company's large work group chat. "Everyone can watch it carefully and learn from it."

"I'd also like to share a saying with everyone here": "An official should be like Wang Yongji!"

Meanwhile, in Chen Yu's live stream, as Wang Yongji's highlight moment unfolded, the number of bullet comments and messages surged to an unprecedented peak.

The screen was constantly refreshing with donation messages, ranging from tens to hundreds or even thousands of yuan, with some donations exceeding ten thousand yuan. This wave of donations was unprecedented in both density and frequency since the show began.

This time, the people who tipped for "Ming Dynasty" were no longer CEOs of listed companies or high-ranking leaders, but millions of ordinary people who were lost in their work and struggling in their mundane lives.

Wang Yongji's highlight performance was like a beacon, dispelling the fog and pointing them in the right direction!

This line, centered on the idea of ​​"feeling the same way even when one is drowning," has astonishingly and rapidly surpassed numerous other classic scenes in the online poll for iconic lines and scenes from the TV series "Ming Dynasty," including "I'll hurt your mother's head," "The two capitals and thirteen provinces are on my shoulders," and "The Emperor's heart holds the entire nation," to climb to the top of the list!

As a result, the popularity of Chen Yu's live stream room once again experienced an explosive surge.

The staff of the "Creator Competition" program were glued to the ever-rising popularity curve in the background, feeling like they were living in a dream since the show started airing today. They thought last night's popularity was just a fleeting peak, but who could have imagined that today's peak would be repeatedly broken, and even rise even higher from such a high position?!

Meanwhile, the top executives of the leading film and television companies behind the scenes, along with their screenwriting teams, were all gritting their teeth. They simply couldn't understand how Wang Yongji's single line could have such a terrifyingly explosive effect. They thought Chen Yu had started rewriting the script and the plot was about to collapse, but instead, just one line of dialogue sent the buzz soaring to a whole new peak?

"What should we do?" "I have a feeling things are getting worse. Is Chen Yu's 'Ming Dynasty' going to stay this popular forever?!" "This isn't a sniper attack; the more we try to snipe him, the more popular he gets. This tactic is useless; it can't stop him at all!"

But a moment later, when these members of the screenwriting team thought of the assurances made by the bigwigs of Huaying Film Studio, they gritted their teeth again, harboring a sliver of hope in their hearts.

"Yes, I admit Chen Yu's dialogue is indeed impressive, but he can't stay popular forever just based on his dialogue, right?" "Wang Yongji's moment of glory has passed. Can Chen Yu write even more explosive dialogue?" "It will fade; the hype will definitely drop!"

If Chen Yu knew what they were thinking at this moment, he would probably burst out laughing. Hey, what a coincidence, isn't it?

Wang Yongji's line was explosive and powerful, right? But this is just the beginning, it's nothing at all!

Don't forget, between Hai Rui and Wang Yongji, Hai Rui is the true pillar of the party! Wang Yongji's moment of glory has arrived. Hai Rui, the renowned swordsman of the Ming Dynasty, is now defying orders alongside Wang Yongji. How could his moment of glory be incomplete?

What follows is naturally Hai Rui's moment of glory!

In the next scene, audiences worldwide will understand why Hai Rui is known as the Great Ming Divine Sword, the Walking Law Enforcer of the Ming Dynasty, and the Number One War God of the Ming Dynasty Officialdom.

A look of intense anticipation appeared on Chen Yu's face. After finishing writing the highlight of Wang Yongji's twentieth scene, he didn't pause for a moment. His fingertips flew down and he typed out the title of the next scene.

[The Ming Dynasty, Act Twenty-One – Who Dares!]

As Chen Yu typed out the title for the next scene, the audience, who were still discussing Wang Yongji's lines, looked surprised, but then their expressions turned to excitement.

"Here it comes again!"

"Another scene with a title. Every time a scene has a title, it becomes a memorable moment. It seems Wang Yongji's outburst is not over yet; there's more to come!"

"Wow, I just finished watching Wang Yongji's segment and I was still craving more, and now this is happening again! It's so awesome!" "Chen Yu is awesome!"

The title of this scene, "Who Dares," has also sparked much discussion among viewers.

"Just looking at this title makes it seem intense and powerful." "Is this going to escalate into a fierce conflict?" "Hiss, are we going to have a fight in court?!"
