The person who came was called Zhou Xueren, and he was the class president of Chu Yuanxi in college. Relying on the welfare of being the class leader, I got a place for the research institute, three years for the master's degree, another three years for the doctorate, and then the term was postponed, so I just passed the defense at the end of last year, and I was unemployed after graduating at the age of 0.

The main thing is that theoretical physics is really unbearable. Stay in school to do research, dignified doctor, because there has been no good results, and the associate professor is still far away, and he may not be able to evaluate the professor when he is fifty years old.

The point is that there is nowhere to go, so you can only be cheeky and stay under the boss, and life seems to have an end in sight?

Teaching, it's not cool, or you can only stay in this school to start as a teaching staff, you don't have to think about other schools, and it's not an education major, and the road to education is too narrow.

As for going abroad, this used to be a dream, and it was also the motivation that supported him to get a doctorate. I didn't have a good grade point and GRE in my bachelor's degree, and I didn't have a good thesis in my master's degree, so I always had a chance to get my Ph.D., right? But what I didn't expect was that it was more difficult since 2016!

He once thought that studying for a doctorate in China and then going abroad to do research was the safest path, but he missed the final window of time for completing his master's degree. Up to now, no math tyrants have been blocked in front of the visa pass, and the big bulls who have sent ns say that they will not be allowed to go if they are not allowed to go, and those who have been delayed for a year abound, not to mention that they are not even a calf?

Even in the second half of last year, even well-known scientists of Chinese descent were frequently taken away for investigation, how could it have been possible in the past? It was simply not the right time! Why did the honeymoon period with the United States suddenly come to an end?

Therefore, when the alumni circle gradually boiled because Chu Yuanxi was awesome, Zhou Xueren's heart was restless. Just stay in the country and do a big job!

In fact, since the "Sexy President Online Pumping" before the Spring Festival, there have been people who have been trying to organize reunions of college classmates, but unfortunately Chu Yuanxi never participated. Not only did he not participate, but he didn't even answer the phone much, and then he didn't reply to WeChat, and he visually saw that someone had been blocked.

Isn't this authentic? When you are developed, you forget your old classmates? Many classmates from the same department and even the same class came to the old class to cry and complain, which also made Zhou Xueren's restless heart become urgent, and he beat a drum in his heart: Chu Yuanxi doesn't give face to others, so he can't help but give me face, right?

The key is that it is difficult to find a job, and I graduated in February, but I started looking for a job a year ago, but unfortunately I have not been able to find it. It is said that "if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to go all over the world", the problem is that when I pondered this later, it was the same as "only one child is good, so what is the pension for the elderly", it is time-limited, and it will not be like this after the time?

If he was a doctor who was engaged in lithium batteries, he would have been robbed crazy a long time ago, and the optics and acoustics were also very hot. The problem is that it is all applied physics, low-grade, too low-grade, how can we engage in theories with nobility? This world is unfair! The yellow bell is ruined, the tiles are thundering, the sycophants are high-minded, and the wise men are nameless.

Fortunately, Chu Yuanxi not only answered the phone, but also promised to come to the company for an interview.

Then he met Elizabeth, who had received him.

Elizabeth's current official position is Chu Yuanxi's assistant, and she is very surprised that Chu Yuanxi actually went to meet such a person in person? Her eyes have been soaked in the highest-grade interpersonal circles, what is the elite in the workplace, which is the scientific master, and even the high-ranking officials in Washington, all of them. Of course, there are quite a lot of goods to see, so what is a person's spiritual level, how big-minded, and how strong is the confidence, she is more confident than Chu Yuanxi.

And don't say anything else, just talk about the resume, the person who came is a doctor, a doctor of theoretical physics, but why is the English so bad?

And Zhou Xueren was shocked! Chu Yuanxi actually used a foreign girl as an assistant? This foreign girl still can't speak Chinese? I haven't seen it in a few years, and it's already so high-end?

It didn't take much effort, and it was just over an hour, and Chu Yuanxi appeared in this small conference room.

As soon as he entered the door, Chu Yuanxi smelled a "popularity", just like animals using their scents to announce each other's occupation of territory, people worthy of quality Sanlian can also do it, this has nothing to do with whether they take a bath or not, and whether they change their clothes or not, and whether the aura is strong or not, it is a "synaesthesia" effect.

"I haven't seen Lao Zhou for a long time. Chu Yuanxi took the initiative to reach out and shake it.

To say that Zhou Xueren is dressed appropriately today, a cardigan with an ancient style feeling suppresses the feeling of decadence, and his hair has been re-organized, but there is no vitality in his eyes and eyes. His figure is also obviously fat, eight times fatter than when he graduated from college, and his big face plate is a bit like that of Teacher Gongsun, if he claims to be in his 40s, others will not suspect it.

The appearance of people is so magical, like Chaoyang Big Guy and Robin Li are already over half a hundred years old, but there is no problem with claiming to be in their early thirties.

Zhou Xueren shook hands and pulled it back, "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, you kid hasn't shown up for a long time, where can we see you?"

"It's not that I don't show up, it's that I'm very, very busy. I don't go to the general entertainment. Chu Yuanxi saw that Zhou Xueren didn't seem to find his position, and stretched out his hand to stop the respectful mouth he was about to open, "Now I will only go if the visual inspection will bring great help to my company's business, or if someone at the government level must be beaten." For example, Google's product briefing, the game industry alliance organized by the imperial government, and so on. ”

What Chu Yuanxi was holding in his stomach was that he knew what level his college classmates were. The best quality of a person is to be able to discover the good of others, but unfortunately there are really no outstanding talents in the alumni circle of universities in the original world, so it is not worth it. Of course, the world is developing, and people are constantly changing, in case there is any counterattack in the original mediocre group in the new year, you can also contact them individually.

This is definitely not called employing people to face forward or not to face backward, but a matter of time cost. Chu Yuanxi also wants to gather with wine and meat friends every day without thinking about it from a utilitarian point of view, the question is whether others will be so open-minded?

First, Zhou Xueren is the class president after all, and Chu Yuanxi can't never deal with alumni, and this can't be broken, even from a utilitarian point of view, otherwise his social evaluation will be greatly reduced, and how much money will he have to donate to his alma mater in the future to recover? Therefore, an effective communication channel is still needed.

The second is that Zhou Xueren has been studying hard in the original world and has not come out of the ivory tower, and Chu Yuanxi has crossed before the light is released!

It's a pity that just like this, Chu Yuanxi already felt that it was impossible to touch it. Cao Xiang is also decadent, not only decadent but also weak-hearted, but even when he was rejected by Zhou Mingjun that day, Cao Xiang's self-confidence is not lacking at all, this kind of "feeling good about yourself" that doesn't know where it comes from may be a negative buff for Zhou Mingjun, but for Chu Yuanxi, it is like a firefly at night, not dazzling, and visible to the naked eye.

And Zhou Xueren is not to mention self-confidence, what is hidden under his big expression is a deep inferiority complex and confusion.

Therefore, he was shocked by such a small bilit that Chu Yuanxi pretended, this can't be a big bull, try it out. "We're old classmates, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, be simple, let's communicate simply, just say anything straight, you won't come to me to talk or express your dissatisfaction with the class reunion, right?"

"I, I ......" Zhou Xueren obviously couldn't stand Chu Yuanxi's direct style, and he was in a hurry for a while, and said in his heart, why don't you play cards according to the rules? Shouldn't this first be Lala's usual reminiscences, and then talk about the experience of these years? I first pretend to be big, and then take advantage of the situation to complain about the injustice of the bitter and scolding system, so I successfully aroused empathy? Are you an emotionless robot? The problem is not I! I still have to have a face!

But obviously, if he couldn't say something, Chu Yuanxi would really send him away. This person has changed, not a classmate who let him move things and let him run errands when he was in school, although he smiled like he didn't have any temper, but this grandson's self-esteem is too high, right?

So he made a quick decision and decisively chose reality in his face and reality: "I mainly felt at a loss after getting my doctorate, I didn't know what to do, and I lost my goal." ”

Chu Yuan Xixin said that you should find professional job search counseling, I am not Santa Claus, besides, what advice do I give you for your theoretical physics and Yang's gauge field theory?

Zhou Xueren looked at it, and obviously didn't say it thoroughly, why was he so intimate? But he didn't have time to blame Chu Yuanxi for not even understanding this, so he just stubbornly said: "So I want to find a suitable job." ”

Chu Yuanxi finally picked up: "How can you call it appropriate?"

"The salary is worthy of my Ph.D. Zhou Xueren looked like he took it for granted, "I studied for 7 and a half years more than an undergraduate student for this doctorate, and the salary can't be the same as that of an undergraduate graduate, right?"

"Have you tried to find it, what's going on?"

"It's hard to ...... words"

Chu Yuan Xixin said in his heart, don't always feel that it is difficult to say anything, maybe you will not be able to get the more high-end salary among the fresh graduates. For example, when a large company recruits management trainees, it must be for undergraduate graduates, and it will definitely not recruit doctoral students.

Why? Because the bachelor's degree is young, 22 years old is the age worth polishing, sent to the grassroots level to train for three years and five years, and when 27 or 8 is the prime of life, the ability also has experience. The key is to be familiar with one's own enterprise, no matter how many local turtles have been in the position, have personally experienced the most difficult problems, understand the "civil suffering", know where the cognitive deviation between front-line soldiers and executives is, and have their own thoughts on how to solve them.

In this state, it is not a star to be promoted to middle management than airborne management, and the upward career path is completely open, and you can steadily move towards XO in your early thirties, or serve as the core leader of the branch. Before the promotion, that is, in the three or five years of polishing, the salary was more than that of colleagues of the same type of work, and even if they were sent to express delivery, they received more subsidies than ordinary couriers, and the salary was definitely not bad.

Of course, the most important thing about Guan Peisheng's popularity is that he is a close confidant of the chairman and can talk to the chairman directly. In ancient times, it was equivalent to having the right to write a secret fold and submit it directly to the emperor, so even if it was a middle-level management, it was convenient to solve various problems.

Like Zhou Xueren, the first is to not move, doctor, can you press your head to the front line to send a courier for half a year? I can't stand it for half a month. Even if he can stand it, after five years, he will be 5, and then he will be able to survive from an ordinary middle-level position? Even if he has a qualification, it is impossible to boil a corpse vegetarian meal, and Guan Pei, who does not do anything, lives and dies faster than an ordinary middle-level person. But how much more do 5-year-olds have to do in their lives and families, and how much energy is put into their work? These are people who can't work hard, and people who are not cost-effective.

Of course, these words have nothing to say to Zhou Xueren, and there are almost no domestic science and engineering graduate students and even doctors who take this career path. As the name suggests, management trainees are management trainees who take the career path of management positions, while the strength of science and engineering graduate students is that they have a skill in the field they are engaged in. If not, pretend to have.

Then, through this skill, during the study period, I contacted the industry through the external cooperation of the laboratory, and when I got the degree, I had already turned around in the circle of industry, education and research, and entered the industry with a hot degree certificate.

That's the norm.

However, considering that the old gentleman is studying the Yang canonical field, this road does not seem to be easy to follow......

In fact, hearing what he said just now, Chu Yuanxi knew that Zhou Xueren didn't understand Yang Zhenning's research, otherwise he would have been soft-hearted, instead of postponing it later. Your old gentleman's 7-and-a-half-year doctor still thinks it's quite honorable, and I'm about to catch up with the idol trainee who has been practicing for two and a half years!

After thinking about it for almost 10 seconds, Chu Yuanxi didn't come up with a reason, the key is what he can do? We don't know, we don't dare to ask.

But Zhou Xueren dared to ask: "In short, do you have any work suitable for me to do?"

"The question is, what kind of work can you do? I don't have any work related to theoretical physics, so I can't let you be a game planner, right? Do you have any valuable patents?" Chu Yuanxi did not directly refuse, although he definitely wanted to refuse, because he promised that he would never recruit relatives and classmates into the company.

Of course, if Zhou Xueren is really that kind of radiant talent, no one will be more true than what he promises or not. Saying that this person is even more awesome than Cao Xiang, he turned away because he wanted to keep his promise? At that time, we had to study the extent to which the promise should be kept.

Zhou Xueren's nose was almost crooked, "How can I have a patent? Writing a patent is the business of those who are engaged in applied physics, and I am engaged in theory." Oh yes!"

He suddenly had an idea, "I know how to program, I know how to program!"

"Huh? Can you do AI? Can you process big data? Data cleaning and numerical mining are also possible. This won't be, then, what about the cloud server?" Chu Yuanxi shook his head while saying Zhou Xueren, forcing Chu Yuanxi to test the last possibility: "How about the blockchain?"

"How can I have the money to play with blockchain? I want to speculate, I don't have that capital when I study. ”

Chu Yuanxi covered his face, this situation seems to be only for app development, and it may not be possible to get started directly. The application of code in the industry is changing too fast, and it is okay to do the back-end, but the front-end has to catch up with a new language almost every two years, and if it can't keep up, it will face elimination. There is definitely no such inhuman pressure in school, and if you suddenly enter the company, you may have to start with the lowest end of the interface program.

Although it is impossible to recruit him, out of the affection of an old classmate and some kind of obligation that may not exist, helping him make a career plan should be a very valuable help, much more than the help of a low-end code farmer profession.

"And what do you expect from salary?"

"Five, isn't it, forty thousand?" Zhou Xueren said cautiously.

"If you had been a code farmer for 7 and a half years after undergrad, you would definitely have a monthly salary of more than 40,000 yuan now. Chu Yuanxi couldn't help but vomit, "40,000 is the price of the main journey, and the better ones are more than 40,000." ”

"It's okay to just 40,000, I'm not greedy. ”

"I'm greedy. Chu Yuan Xixin said, "What do you think I am coaxing a child?" "What did you say you did when you were in graduate school? Come out to start a business with the results, and a group of investors will circle around you. If you get a doctorate diploma, it's like asking for a high salary, what can you do to be worthy of this salary? Any company hires you to make money from you, not to lose money, you should be sober!"

"How much should I want?"

"If you are at the level of an ordinary programming enthusiast, it is impossible for a large company to find a small company, 12,000, it is impossible to have more. ”

"I'm not as good as a fresh graduate, I've been making up programs for at least 7 years!" Zhou Xueren was suddenly very excited, maybe thinking of all the difficulties in the previous job search, or maybe this price code accurately hit the upper limit of all the offers he received before, so he rediscovered himself, but only in this way could he not look directly at the bloody facts. "Do you remember Lu Yuan? It's the one who is lame in the second class of our department, he has been working in sales for five years, and last year he found a job as a programmer, and the starting salary is 18,000! Am I not as good as a cripple?"

"It's really not as good as it, can a company reduce taxes if it hires people with disabilities, can you reduce taxes if you hire it? Lu Yuan doesn't do anything and contributes to the company, can you?" Chu Yuanxi has no joy or sorrow, this fact may be a bigger blow to Zhou Xueren, but since it has been said that it is all said and done, it is easiest to say that it is the easiest to end this bad meeting.

As a result, Yang Jiangang was very excited when he heard about this: "Damn! If he is doing theoretical physics, then he should be able to use a program to describe the physical changes of objects, right? ”

"What are you doing? You still want to recruit him to make a physics engine for you?" Chu Yuanxi gave Yang Jiangang a hehe.
