"In view of Comrade Liu Haizhong's gross dereliction of duty, egregious behavior, and extremely bad influence—actions that completely run counter to the responsibilities required of a Back Courtyard Liaison and have caused severe negative impacts on neighborhood harmony and social stability—it has been decided by the Sub-district Office after deliberation—"
Director Wang's voice fell like a cold, heavy hammer. "With immediate effect, Comrade Liu Haizhong is hereby stripped of his position as the Back Courtyard Liaison of Nanluoguxiang Compound No. 95. This decision takes effect immediately."
"Boom!" Like a bolt of lightning out of the blue, the pronouncement exploded over Liu Haizhong's head. His ears buzzed, his vision went black, and he nearly collapsed on the spot. That official title—which he regarded as his very life and took immense pride in—had just been... just like that, stripped away? Revoked right here in public?
