So [personal profile] umadoshi kept talking about Guardian, and then provided a post full of links, so I was like "watching tv seems like a lot of investment, but maybe I'll read a chapter of the book". So I found this: https://www.daocaorenshuwu.com/book/zhenhun/ -- not sure if it's the mainland censored version or the original, but I just read chapter one and I feel so called out. This guy who is slacking off at the police department gets a mysterious summons to report to a location at 2am to join the Special Investigation Unit, and then:
可是郭长城本来就社交障碍,大半年的死宅生活更是叫他爆发出严重的电话恐惧症。一想起需要给别人打电话,他就心理压力大得整宿睡不着觉。

就这样,他一直逃避到了八月三十号半夜,这个电话也没打出去。

于是,郭长城想出了一个自以为两全其美的主意——他决定拼着一宿不睡,凌晨两点半时亲自去一趟,要是没人,就到附近的麦当劳里凑合着睡一觉,下午两点半再过来,反正这俩时间估计总有一个是对的。

- even though he thought 2am was a ridiculous time, he was suffering from too much phone anxiety to make a clarifying phone call
- so he decides on the brilliant plan of showing up at 2:30am, and, if there's no one there, to then go nap in a nearby McDonalds until 2:30pm

And then he gets there and he's practicing what to say under his breath, but then he flubs it up anyways: "交代遗言一般气如游丝地开口说,“我……我是来通知的,这是我的应聘书……” ("I'm here to summon, this is my report papers")
And then the other guy is like "oh hey!" and he's like "whew, now all I have to do is nod"
