Thanks for Asking, I Only Want to Serve the People

Jiang Wuqing transmigrates into an old-school, melodramatic substitute romance novel as the pitiful love interest, abused both physically and emotionally. At this point, he has countless antis, his career is at rock bottom, and his unscrupulous agent is sending him to the domineering male lead's bed in hopes of making a comeback. Jiang Wuqing glances at his blatantly exposed self, throws on a bathrobe, and leaves. The plan fails. His agent threatens to blacklist him and freeze him out: "Do you still want to make it in the entertainment industry?" Jiang Wuqing turns around and joins the ranks of civil service exam candidates: "This circle is too chaotic. I'm out." His agent and the antis: ... In a cafe, the domineering male lead, radiating an imposing aura, places a black card in front of him, but before he can say a word, Jiang Wuqing, who knows the plot, pulls out his employee ID: "Bribing a public servant in broad daylight is a criminal offense!" The domineering male lead: ... In the waiting room of the Pei Group, the White Moonlight looks at him haughtily: "Zhannan won't see you. You're just a substitute. Can't you have a little self-awareness?!" Jiang Wuqing straightens the body camera on his chest: "We're here today to investigate your tax affairs. Please come with us." The White Moonlight: ... Later, a documentary called A Deep Dive into Crime and Corruption in the Entertainment Industry becomes a huge hit. Jiang Wuqing, seen enforcing the law in the documentary, is strikingly handsome, exceptionally charismatic, solemn and meticulous, and incorruptibly just. People are captivated and fall for him, and he becomes an overnight sensation and a surefire draw. After Jiang Wuqing turns down countless special invitations to hit TV dramas, wildly popular variety shows, and famous commercials, netizens finally dig through his long-neglected Weibo account: [I'll go vegetarian for ten years, please, please let our little brother Jiang Wuqing return to the entertainment industry!] [Our hidden gem Qingqing! I won't let you belong to the country alone!] Jiang Wuqing: Thanks for asking. I'm on the scene, and I only want to serve the people. * Pei Zhannan has had a lot on his mind lately. He's fallen for a man who's patriotic, principled, and popular, but not exactly patient. After much effort, he finally gets to see the man of his dreams again. "Give me ten..." Seeing Jiang Wuqing's impatient expression, President Pei, who usually has the final say in the business world, changes course in a split second. "One minute. Let me introduce myself." Looking at the documents laid out in front of him, Jiang Wuqing turns to the domineering male lead, who specially asked a superior to arrange this meeting, bewildered. Pei Zhannan says timidly, looking utterly aggrieved: "My household register, certificates from the neighborhood committee and police station proving I have no criminal record, my health certificate, notarized records of my charitable work... These are all the documents I didn't have time to take out last time, apart from my bank card. I've never done anything wrong. I don't have a White Moonlight. I'm clean and honest, a model young man. I'll never bring you shame or make you lose face. It's not my fault I'm rich. Director Jiang, please, can you give me a chance?"
