As soon as he walked out of the building, he was dazzled by the winter sun, Lin Xi raised his hand to cover it, although the sun was good but the wind was biting, Lin Xi withdrew his hand and shrank into his coat pocket.

There are still a lot of tourists on the Lujiazui overpass, taking photos with the Oriental Pearl in the cold wind.

Lin Xi couldn't help but recall that when he had just graduated from university, he and his friend Hong Yan came here to take a lot of tourist photos on the first day they came to Shanghai. Remembering youth is always beautiful, Lin Xi took out his mobile phone and clicked on Fan Hongyan's circle of friends, the most recent one is an ancient song she covered, this song comes from the game where they have paid time, money and emotions together, and it is in this game that Lin Xi met Fang Feiyu......

- The singing on the Internet is good, but it looks ugly.

This is the words he left on the YY public screen when Lin Xi first met Fang Feiyu, at that time, the two guilds had a friendship activity, Lin Xi and Fan Hongyan, as the resident singers in the guild, won a lot of applause, and in the applause, only Fang Feiyu came to be "unique", and it was precisely because of this sentence that Lin Xi opened the conversation when he met him again in the game.

The cold wind blew Lin Xi's head a little dizzy, she quickened her pace and walked down the overpass, and was going down the escalator, when her mobile phone vibrate.

"Sister Xi, it's me, Xiaobei. The female voice on the phone was so intimate that Lin Xi felt a little uncomfortable, and she tightened her coat.

"Ah, Long Bei, what's wrong with me?"

"Sister Xi, look at what you said, can't I talk to you if it's okay?" Long Bei has a problem with speaking, once she wants to be warm with people, she uses a northeastern accent, regardless of whether the other party is a northerner like her or a southerner who can't be beaten.

Lin Xi shook his head and smiled, it seemed that the next few minutes would be an awkward chat. From the New Year's holiday arrangement to the northern local products, Lin Xi looked at her watch, it was 8 minutes, and she was about to walk to the subway station.

"Long Bei, I'm about to enter the subway station, the signal may not be good later, if it's okay, we'll talk next time." ”

"Hey, Sister Xi, actually...... There's something I'd like to ask you about. ”

"You say. ”

"I remember one monthly meeting, you mentioned the expansion of channels, and you made a list at that time, right? ”

Lin Xi recalled, indeed, the monthly financial report was not very good at that time, the cost of market customer orders increased, and the conversion rate decreased.

But at that time, everyone was still immersed in how to innovate, how to invest in some small projects, how to use a new story to add weight to the company, and get more favor from the capital side.

"That table, Li Yirong should have an archive. Li Yirong is mainly responsible for the transformation of the content line, and has more docking with the transaction line, and Lin Xi connected all the documents related to the transaction to him before leaving.

"Ah, I got the watch, it's really good. It's ......"

"How?"

"It's just that there is a company in it, and it's also the one you mainly recommend, so it's not very easy to talk about. ”

“ZF-link？”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

It's not very easy to talk about, but Lin Xi has already left, so Long Bei shouldn't want her to do docking.

"Sister Xi, since you have promoted it before, you must have some acquaintances. ”

Long Bei finally made it clear, and Lin Xi was relieved, but at the beginning, Lin Xi was mainly responsible for the content line, and this list was just her proposal to the trading line, so to be honest, Lin Xi really didn't have any acquaintances who could help.

Operation and the market are different, the way we work and the rhythm is different, people who do the market like to engage in interpersonal relationships first, do resource reserves, and the operation is better at data analysis and evaluation, and rarely because of the relationship to promote business execution, according to Lin Xi's words, the operation is the first egg and then the chicken, and the market is to catch the chicken first and then lay the egg.

"I'm sorry I don't have that. ”

On the other end of the phone, Long Bei's mouth pouted, all the emotional cards just now were in vain, and when she left, she said that if the company is useful to her, she, as a start-up employee, will definitely help, and now it's just to let her match, what kind of score.

"Sister Xi, how can you say that you are also the No. 5 employee of Orange Song, you are so disciplined, how can you have a proposal but you are not prepared. "It's not like the enthusiasm just now, Long Bei's words have a tone of words, which really annoys Lin Xi, the subway is about to enter the station, the words have been made clear, she really doesn't want to play any Tai Chi with Long Bei.

"I really don't have any acquaintances here, and the car is coming into the station soon, so I'll ask the other friends, and I'll let you know if there's any news. After speaking, the subway entered the station, Lin Xi put the bag on his chest, and the people pushed people were sent into the carriage.

Long Bei wanted to continue to say something, but the phone was already hung up.

"Cut, isn't it just that you are relying on yourself to join the company early, and when you are older, you will have a lot of capital. Long Bei played with the mobile phone pendant, suddenly rolled her eyes, opened WeChat, and laughed out loud: "Let me give you a head drink!"

The carriage was finally relaxed, Lin Xi took out his mobile phone, and Long Bei sent a message, which was a forwarded article.

[Internet companies can't tolerate 35-year-old female employees]

The article tells the story of Oracle China's layoffs, a 37-year-old woman who wants to enter the Internet to improve her ability after being laid off from a foreign company, and also lists the career choices of several women around 35 years old.

Indeed, the Internet is getting younger and younger, many executives and founders are post-90s or even post-95s, the industry flaunts their creativity, their fighting spirit, and their miracles of success, while the post-80s, tired by life, lack of physical horsepower, and most of the inspiration can not keep up with the times, they have to get off work on time to go home to cook, take children on weekends, and travel with their families during holidays, but they need to pay mortgages and car loans with high salaries. After the 80s, they can't even afford to get sick.

"Oh, it really hurts my heart. Lin Xi looked at himself reflected in the glass, 35 years old, only 2 years away from this number, unmarried and childless, no car or house, and now he doesn't even have a job.

Lin Xi smiled bitterly, Long Bei, Long Bei, it seems that she was blacklisted by her.

Yan Hualan saw Lin Xi walking towards this side from a distance through the window of the community room, didn't she say that she had resigned, but Lin Xi looked dressed as an OL today.

"Looking for a job?"

"Hmm. ”

"How?"

"It's ok. ”

Yan Hualan looked at Lin Xi with a smile, after this period of contact, the two seemed to be friends for the year, and they could understand what the other party thought in just a few words, presumably Lin Xi's job search road was not as easy as it seemed.

"Aunt Yan. Lin Xi called a sentence, and stopped talking.

Yan Hualan smiled and said, "What, do you have anything to say, and you think the old woman can't take it?"

Lin Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, yes, I have some doubts in my heart, but I understand that I am afraid that I will add another person to worry about when I say this to you." ”

"You kid, you just think too much, you have to think of the worst plan for everything, talk about it, what doubts you have. ”

Lin Xi tucked the collar of his coat, there were doubts and expectations in his eyes, and he was more panicked.

"Aunt Yan, you say, after the age of 35, what kind of life do women generally choose?"

Lin Xi asked what he thought in his heart, but Yan Hualan thought about it carefully, most of the 35-year-old young people are still working hard to fight for their careers, Lin Xi asked this, presumably a little confused and shaken in his heart.

Yan Hualan got up and walked to the piano table and touched the strings of the guqin: "Now the choices of young people are too diverse, some people believe that hard work will have good results, and some people choose to go with the world but seek peace with the years." After finishing speaking, Yan Hualan sat on the wooden bench, plucked the strings, and a few distant piano sounds made Lin Xi's floating mood gradually sink.

"I can only talk to you about my choices when I was 35 years old. Yan Hualan looked at Lin Xi with a smile, this will be a long story......

When Fu Junhuai returned home, Yan Hualan was sitting on the balcony, and there was no heating at home, and Fu Junhuai didn't have time to change his shoes, so he hurriedly turned on the heating and walked to the balcony.

"Ms. Yan, do you want to get sick like this? The tone was calm, with a hint of reproach.

Yan Hualan came back to her senses and remembered what Lin Xi said in the afternoon, young people nowadays are guilty of even getting sick, and if something goes wrong with the elders, they can't take care of it with eight hands.

Because she had been sitting for a long time, her legs were paralyzed, and Yan Hualan didn't stand up for a while. Fu Junhuai helped her back to the living room, it was already more than 10 o'clock at night, Yan Hualan was sitting on the balcony, did she want to see all the lights of thousands of homes?

"Look, Xiaoxi, the lights in the community are getting late and late. Today's young people are really not easy. ”

Fu Junhuai half-squatted and rubbed Yan Hualan's palms and insteps, thinking in her heart that she must be chatting with someone again today, and she felt a lot of emotion.

Fu Junhuai got up and brought a blanket to cover Yan Hualan's waist, changed his shoes, and went to the restaurant to take the food cooked by his aunt on the table to the kitchen, intending to heat it up.

"Xiaoxi, don't be busy, come and talk to me. ”

Fu Junhuai put down the dishes in his hand, flushed his hand, and took off his apron. Heart disease still needs heart medicine, Fu Junhuai looked at Yan Hualan: "Then I'll make you a cup of tea, get some nuts, and let's talk while eating." ”

After taking a sip of hot tea, the grandparents and grandchildren sighed with satisfaction and smiled at each other.

"Xiaoxi, don't you generally recruit older female employees on the Internet?"

"It depends on the position, senior management positions generally need experienced people to be competent. But it is undeniable that men do have an advantage over women in the selection of talents, especially those over 30 years old. ”

"Are you afraid that women will get married and have children?" Yan Hualan frowned and looked at Fu Junhuai.

Fu Junhuai smiled: "Personnel will definitely consider these factors, but it depends on whether the ability is matched." After all, no boss wants his employees to take marriage leave and maternity leave as soon as they come to work. ”

"But this is a normal demand, a national regulation?" Yan Hualan tilted her head, and every fine line beside her eyes seemed to tell of dissatisfaction.

Fu Junhuai attached his hot hand to the back of Yan Hualan's hand: "Yes, so it depends mainly on ability, and then on commitment." Some people may have the attitude of finding a job to retire, while others feel that they can fight hard to win with the company, and any recruiter wants to recruit the latter. ”

Seeing that Yan Hualan was still unhappy, Fu Junhuai decided to take her as an example: "For example, Ms. Yan, you are 30 years old this year, unmarried and childless. As soon as she said this, Yan Hualan was amused by Fu Junhuai's serious appearance, 30 years old, unmarried and childless? When she was 30 years old, his mother would make soy sauce.

"Ms. Yan, seriously. Fu Junhuai pretended to clear his throat and continued: "You are looking for a job now, and the interview unit also thinks that you are quite suitable, so do you plan to concentrate on falling in love after work......" Hearing the word "falling in love", Yan Hualan smiled and waved her arm at Fu Junhuai, Fu Junhuai dodged and continued to ask: "Or work hard?"

Yan Hualan pursed her lips: "Then according to my temperament, I must have worked hard." ”

Fu Junhuai clasped his palms: "Congratulations, Ms. Yan Hualan, you have been hired!"

The water in the teacup is still steaming, the laughter of the grandparents and grandchildren echoes in the room, the lights outside the window are lit up one by one, and Shanghai at half past ten at night is as if it has just begun or ended.
