The work has been carefully polished by the author and is well worth reading. The author narrates in the first person, which adds to the authenticity of the story. He took the civil service exam after graduating from college and failed as a starting point. By chance, he entered the civil service ranks, and then began a counterattack in life. He uses a lively and humorous style to describe the women who are active around the protagonist, and they have their own distinctive character traits in a relaxed and comfortable way. The civil servants at the lowest level are the foundation of the huge official team. Their existence constitutes all living beings in the officialdom. From clerks to the top, this is the overall structure of officialdom. This span allows all authors of officialdom novels to have a lot of room for indulgence. The author has a good grasp of the entry point of the officialdom system, from wanting to become a civil servant to becoming a civil servant to managing civil servants. The lines are clear and the main line is clear. I recommend everyone to read it.
This novel is about the protagonist who graduated from the University of Political Science and Law and failed in the public examination. By chance, he entered the temporary work sequence and started a life of eating "imperial food"... After struggle... The selection of materials is good and the plot has ups and downs, making readers feel excited, stamping their feet and beating their chests, having snot and tears flowing, and laughing... The humorous language and humor make the readers feel deeply. In short, this is a story about the emergence of officialdom, a counterattack against officialdom, a history of officialdom struggle, and a masterpiece among novels. I recommend it to readers and give it five-star praise.
It cuts into the officialdom from the perspective of a grassroots civil servant and vividly outlines the game of light and darkness in the workplace through the growth process of the protagonist Liu Su from temporary worker to counterattack. The author uses a humorous tone to dilute the heaviness of the subject matter. In the narrative of "multiple female protagonists" and machinations, he still pays attention to the portrayal of characters. Although some settings are slightly dramatic, the description of the ecology within the system is real and perceptible, especially highlighting the survival wisdom of small people in the cracks of the rules. The overall pace is lively and suitable for readers who prefer urban reality themes. Not bad, good looking!
This novel takes the "sense of contrast" as its core charm and skillfully embeds the "family-traditional martial arts" heritage into the realistic narrative of "grassroots civil servants." The author uses humor to deconstruct the seemingly grand background of his life, allowing the protagonist to establish a more down-to-earth growth path amid family admonitions, realistic pressures and personal interests. This setting of "having a treasure in the market" indicates that the story will create extraordinary sparks in ordinary daily work, showing the unique tension and possibility between inside and outside the system, tradition and modernity.
This book takes the counterattack of grassroots civil servants as the main line, with witty language and vivid characters. Through the protagonist's encounters, the author reflects the complex aspects of officialdom ecology, with both a sense of reality and dramatic tension. Although there are occasional Internet writing routines, the advantage lies in the smooth narrative. It is worth reading. I recommend it [Like]
It's so beautiful, the characters are vividly drawn, and the storyline is unique.
Under the relaxed and humorous tone, it is the struggle and rise of the small figures in the officialdom. The protagonist has a distinct image and the story has a tight rhythm, cleverly combining workplace gaming with personal growth. This is a very good urban officialdom counterattack novel. It's great to watch, and I look forward to more exciting content in the future!
A very wonderful official article, step by step, and finally reach the pinnacle of life! Second brush, five-star praise sent
