Xie Linzhou was once a top-tier star in the entertainment industry. Because he was too sharp-tongued, bad at playing the game, and refused to submit to unspoken rules, the powers that be set him up. The entire internet turned against him, and he left the industry.
Everyone thought he was finished.
Half a year later--
Netizens spotted a man in the livestream of a local neighborhood office, wearing a mask as he fixed an elderly woman's phone, mediated disputes between neighbors, caught scammers, and drafted official documents. He looked a lot like Xie Linzhou.
Livestream comments:
[Impossible, our idol is in Paris.]
[Impossible, our idol is studying abroad.]
[Impossible, our idol is in love.]
The next second, the man took off his mask.
"You're so noisy. Go fill out a form."
The whole internet exploded.
The former top-tier star gets a new job after being laid off, becoming the neighborhood office's battle-hardened ace, specializing in community scammers and neighbor disputes.
If you need help, get in line. Keep the noise down.
Fill out a form, get it stamped, next number.

I hesitated, not knowing what to comment. I came across this book when I was looking for a book on the [Live Broadcast] tab. When I read the title, my first thought was that it would become popular after being withdrawn from the circle and be chased by many people. Although the copy states that it is a non-traditional slap in the face, to be honest, it is not uncommon for the copy to be different from the main text. In fact, what really attracted me was the completion on May 20th (eyes moved) There is a feeling of being very stable, seeing everything, and making people feel confident to pursue it. In fact, when I was reading the first few chapters, I was still wondering if it was the kind of person who only discovered that he had many skills after quitting the entertainment industry, and then everyone realized the grievances and unfairness they had suffered in the entertainment industry. In my initial expectation, this was a novel about the protagonist being "seen" in the true sense after withdrawing from the circle. Then what attracted me were the little things in the neighborhood. Property division when lovers quarrel, rescue and persecution of stray cats, free traps and fraudulent harvests. These little bits and pieces are really smoky. It's the kind of thing where you can imagine what the scene was like when you read the text, because these are things that happen around us every day in corners that we don't notice. What needs to be admitted is that the script handed over by Wen Xu was also an important part of attracting me to read it. This script is placed in front of me, like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey's eyes. I will be curious about how this script will be filmed. Can we make the grassroots visible to everyone? Will Xiao Xie return to the entertainment industry? How should he balance his two careers, the grassroots and the entertainment industry? After arousing my curiosity, I wanted to see how he would deal with these things. Then I discovered that this matter actually didn't need to be dealt with at all. As described in the text, the door was just opened and left there, and that was it. So until the end of the article, when the door was still there, I seemed to be surprised, but it seemed that I was not particularly surprised. Because this is the choice Xiao Xie would make. He withdrew from the bustling and bizarre entertainment world, and then became a member of the fireworks and dust, dealing with the daily trivialities of ordinary life. He used to walk in the air of nothingness, but now he has truly landed on the ground and stood firm. So he no longer resisted the self that left. It is a calm attitude in which I know that I can choose, and whether I choose or not is my freedom. By the way, my mother's illness is actually a plot that I didn't expect. At first, I thought that the recurring voice message from my mother was to reflect Xiao Xie's busy work schedule, just like Chen Mo's ID "Did you get off work on time today?" But it turns out there is a balance line between work and family. The end of the text is also very interesting. I mentioned getting off work, work, and family. This is just an ordinary day. The end of the article is that the camera we used to observe his life has to be shut down, but his life continues. The author's writing style is also very interesting. I don't know how to describe it, but it gives me the feeling that there is a lot of blank space, like an empty shot in a movie. For example: Just like when watching TV, there will always be coincidental dramatic conflicts. But the writing of this book made me feel like those passers-by who were watching and living their own lives behind the scenes of the conflict. The disturbances in the world had nothing to do with me, I was just living my own life. It is also a very novel reading experience for me. In fact, when I read novels, I don't usually get into the ordinary, daily life, because I live such a life, so I hope that novels can give me more emotional stimulation. And when I read it, I always wondered whether the author was really a grassroots worker. I felt that the things that appeared were very trivial and very real. All in all, thank you teacher for writing such a great article! It's been a long time since I've written a long review. If there's anything I didn't express very smoothly, please forgive me~
It's very well written. I originally thought it was a fun article about the entertainment industry, but the more I read it, the more I felt a touch of warmth. Everyone in the street office was doing well, and it felt like I had actually watched a down-to-earth documentary. I originally wanted to watch the plot of a blockbuster movie, but after watching them all, I found that there is no need for it. Life now is enough. In addition, the author's layout and segmentation are really good and very smooth.

It's so well written. It's been a long time since I could calm down and read a novel. This is the first one this year.
This writing style feels like Mary from the fruit and vegetable shop next door decides to make money. She always says something lightly and then sighs.
I've finished reading it. It's a very interesting article. The author feels that he has spent time at the grassroots level.
The writing is so interesting. The writing style is good and down-to-earth. It is a good article that can be read in one sitting [Like]
The writing is very good. I rarely read this kind of grassroots writing, but it is very down-to-earth.
