   If you're tired of formulaic "CEO novels," try this industry documentary, described by insiders as "too real." It doesn't write fantasy, only reality: How are homeowners' committee elections manipulated? How does the handover between old and new property management companies often involve physical altercations? What are the complex power struggles behind disputes over property management fees? How does a vice president with "position but no power" navigate between headquarters, the neighborhood committee, the developer, homeowners, and local bullies? This book provides a fundamental logic diagram for understanding Chinese communities and workplaces. Opening it will completely change your perspective on your own neighborhood and company politics.

    Both are worth reading. The first book is complete, and the rating is slowly rising. The second book just came out and is still being serialized; the rating is low, so you can give it a rest. The first book is a guide to urban life as a homeless person. It's purely realistic and has positive values. People today don't realize the kind of disaster a family with a preference for sons can bring to a girl. The female protagonist discovers she's been sold and bravely escapes her family. She struggles to survive by scavenging in the city, sleeping in underground parking garages and public toilets, encountering various people from the lower classes, and experiencing warmth and mutual help. The kindness of strangers gives the female protagonist immense help, and the strong and growing female protagonist repays those who helped her with her own efforts. The character development is clear, and the characters have arcs. The female protagonist is initially insecure, timid, and has a strong sense of unworthiness, but later becomes capable, sassy, ​​and sunny. Along the way, she gains friendship, love, and family. Reading this book is like participating in a girl's entire inspirational youth; it's well worth reading. The second book is a middle-aged version of an urban survival diary. A ten-year housewife is betrayed by her husband, who disappears and is burdened with debt. She struggles to survive with her two young daughters, doing everything she can to get her life back on track.
