After Being Laid Off, I Became a Professional Straight Talker

On the day of her company's anniversary celebration, Chen Guo is "optimized" out of her job. Seven years of workplace experience bought her no respect—but it did reveal a rare skill: translating the things adults dare not say, or cannot say clearly, into plain human language. So she opens the "Plain Talk Agency," helping ordinary people hold their boundaries at work, in marriage, with family, and among friends. The laughs come from real life; the satisfaction comes from clear-eyed honesty. True dignity isn't swallowing your anger—it's calmly saying: this is something I do not agree to.
