During the interview at Hucheng Dahua Computer Company, Yinglong once revealed his graduation project and the teacher's evaluation to the supervisor.

The hiring supervisor was intrigued and wanted him to give his graduation project to the company to see.

When Yinglong handed over the disk with the program written on it to the supervisor, he took it to the company's technicians to run the test, and then expressed satisfaction, so Yinglong was lucky to get his first job in life.

At the beginning, Yinglong was responsible for a relatively shallow position in the company, mainly responsible for assembling computers and other technical work.

One of Dahua's main businesses at the time was the sale of assembled computers, which was relatively popular at the time.

At that time, computers were still new, and they had just become widespread among the general public.

Many people who need to use it have begun to save up to buy their own computer for study and entertainment at home.

Even assembling a computer was a large expense at the time. Despite this, there are still many people who observe and use it in front of the computer company every day, hoping to buy a satisfactory computer to go home.

Yinglong's computer major was also a popular major at that time, and many students flocked to it, so it was easy to do this job in the company.

As the younger brother of the company, Yinglong does not dare to slack off.

Although the work is hard, when the company receives a large order from a unit, Yinglong has to work overtime with his friends to assemble the computer.

From 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., there is a day of trial operation to test the stability of the computer.

Otherwise, if you encounter problems, you will be troubled by returns and claims, and the loss will not only be money but also reputation, and you will get into trouble if you don't get it right.

Although the boss He Wei is the legal representative, he is only in his forties, tall and thin, white and clean, and a graduate of a key university.

He was a former executive of a state-owned enterprise and left to found the company.

The unit is linked to a state-owned enterprise and pays a management fee every year. But this money was not spent in vain, He Wei was able to get some orders from related customers every year, which made him earn a lot of profits.

The second shareholder is An Mo, a graduate of the School of Finance and Economics, and an economist.

He is in charge of the company's finances, and An Mo is a very shrewd person, often pointing fingers at the company's various expenses, as long as he thinks that he should not spend money, not a penny should be spent, and all businesses strive to maximize the company's profits.

Although Dahua is also one of the top computer companies in Lake City, the benefits of ordinary employees are not considered to be the highest in the industry, except for the executives of the unit.

But their work is not easy, and overtime is commonplace. Many employees look at the company's status in the industry, although there are complaints, but there is no other plan to find a higher job, as the so-called "starving camel is bigger than a horse that survives".

When Yinglong was making a living in Lake City, he met Ai Ming, a former alumnus of the law department, at the store.

Emin came here that day to look at the computer, and it was clear that he was planning to buy one and go back to play.

Yinglong's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw Ai Ming trying out the computer, and he looked familiar from a distance, so he walked up to say hello, and found that Ai Ming still knew him.

The two said that they were brothers and brothers and exchanged pleasantries for a while, left contact information, and agreed to meet after work to catch up.

After dinner, they met at the tea house by the river, ordered tea and peanuts, and got to know each other about each other at night.

"Yinglong, how did you get to Lake City?" Ai Ming looked at Yinglong sitting opposite with interest.

Yinglong briefly told Ai Ming about his experience after graduation.

When Yinglong talked about his repeated job applications and repeated rejections, the two were a little moved.

Ai Ming sighed after hearing this: "If it weren't for my father finding a relationship, I wouldn't have my current job." ”

Yinglong knew that Ai Ming was from Lake City, and his father also had some connections in the unit, so of course he would ask someone to arrange his work.

Yinglong remembered that he had traveled all the way, and of course he had a lot of experience in it.

He sighed and drank from his teacup.

The green tea in the cup floated with a bean fragrance, and I drank it with temperature, accompanied by a faint bitter taste, as if the joys and sorrows of the past flowed in my heart. The taste in the meantime can only be experienced by tea drinkers.

When Yinglong asked Ai Ming, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"

Ai Ming just smiled, a little embarrassed.

But Emin asked Yinglong rhetorically, "What about you?"

Yinglong shook his head helplessly.

Only then did they realize that they were both single aristocrats. In this way, they agreed to go to the Internet café to play games whenever they have time, and pass the boring free time by the way.

Yinglong asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Ai Ming shook his head: "I don't know, I don't have a definite plan yet, what about you?" Yinglong smiled with his head: "I want to save some money first." ”

Ai Ming felt that Yinglong must have some plan, so he asked him, "What are you saving so much money for?"

You don't want to provide for your family?"

Yinglong felt that Ai Ming's words were a little wrong, and even a little naïve: "You are stupid! Don't you want to buy a house and get married? Do you plan to live alone for the rest of your life, only spending money and not saving?"

After speaking, he picked up a peanut and threw it at Aiming.

Emin smiled and reached out to knock the peanut to the ground.

"I thought you were going to do something big, but it turned out to be for this, each other. ”

Then Emin asked, "Why don't we have two drinks?"

Yinglong nodded, drinking tea only has this taste, it is better to drink a few glasses of beer to enjoy it.

So they drank and chatted.

Yinglong asked Ai Ming, "What is your ideal object?"

Ai Ming was stunned, but he thought for a while and said, "Just be pretty, gentle, and have a better personality, what about you, Yinglong?"

Yinglong poured a glass of wine and took a sip: "Almost, if you are more detailed, such as long hair, big eyes, and it is best to do laundry and cook." It's really boring for me to cook alone, I don't want to do it at all, and even if I do, it doesn't taste good. ”

Ai Ming chuckled: "You don't cook well?

Yinglong understood the meaning of Ai Ming's words, didn't he know how to make mustard and shredded pork and fried peanuts? But now he didn't have any thoughts, and only ate a little fast food every day to pass the day.

But how to plan their lives in the future, the two single men still seem to be confused.

When they chatted heartily, facing the cool river breeze, they hugged their arms to their chests, rested their legs on the chair next to them, and pulled up all over the world.

Ai Ming talked about how the female colleague in his unit was, and even a friend told him that he wanted to introduce a girlfriend to him, and the other party's conditions were good, but this friend kept delaying and never fulfilled his promise.

Yinglong listened on the sidelines, and involuntarily complimented a few words: "With conditions like yours, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a wife?"

Ai Ming was stunned: "What? A company, you think I'm a star? Forget it, it's good to have someone take a fancy to me, you see I don't have anything now, why should I find a girlfriend?"

The two of them laughed as they spoke.

But when Emin mentioned buying a house, he couldn't help but sigh.

With Yinglong and Ai Ming's income, it's not enough to make a down payment, and after just a few years of working, where can I get the money to buy a house?

Yinglong thought of Ai Ming's parents: "Don't your parents take some money to buy it for you?"

"Then wait, who knows if they will give it later?" Ai Ming sighed.

The two of them couldn't get enough of each drinking a bottle of beer, so they ordered two more bottles until they took a taxi home after midnight.

Emin was met by Yinglong while playing basketball.

In college, Ai Ming also likes to play basketball, and often sweats on the court in his spare time.

Because I often meet several Yinglong, sometimes the two sides team up to play.

And Yinglong's three-step basket is getting better and better, and it has almost become his nirvana.

But Emin also has his unique skills, so the two often compete on the court.

Later, these classmates became good friends and often met on the court for entertainment.

Yinglong told Emin the gist of his special move, and in exchange for Emin teaching Yinglong some techniques.

As a result, their skills have improved a lot during their college years.

Later, Ai Ming became the main player of the unit, and his three-step layup became a must-see trick on the court, mainly thanks to the help of Yinglong at the beginning.

When Yinglong was in Lake City, he often went to the Internet café with Ai Ming to play games.

At that time, the popular games "Age of Empires" and "Red Alert" were their must-play activities every time.

Speaking of these popular games back then, they have a lot of memories.

Perhaps the arcade machines in the game hall once dominated the world, but when the Internet café appeared in the streets and alleys, the cheap price and the comfort of having a machine in each person's hands made a large number of game-loving players turn to the Internet cafes in the streets and alleys.

In order to pass the time, Yinglong and Emin make an appointment to play games together on weekends, often fighting all night.

At first, they weren't good at playing games, but after playing a few times, they got started, and the more they played, the more fun it became.

Playing games has made them forget the troubles of life, immersed in the world of the game, and can play their subjective will at will, as if winning a tough battle in the game will make them feel extremely gratified, feel that they are the winners of life, and once make them no longer think of the troubles and sorrows they experienced.

Ai Ming and Yinglong experienced the joy of being a winner in life in the game, but they felt a lot of helplessness when they returned to reality.

The "skinnyness" of life can't help but make them re-examine themselves.

Yinglong felt that without status and ability, there was no way to win everything.

The thought made them sweat, and Emin thought they should think about how they could overcome them.

Yinglong believes that although the current life makes them a little lost and makes them negative about life, they still have to face reality in the end.

Ai Ming knew that financial inadequacies and capacity shortages caused them to fall behind others, but they would not throw in the towel like that.

Ai Ming agrees with Yinglong's idea, and Yinglong agrees with Ai Ming's opinion. They all feel that they can't be a person who only knows how to keep to themselves and stay the same.

Yinglong once said to Ai Ming: We know that the world is unimaginable, and the world is so small, even if you are in the vast sea of people, you will meet on the street one day. When we meet again many years from now, will it still be the same as before, so I don't want to be the same.

And Ai Ming said to Yinglong: I know, and I agree with you, but I plan to be optimistic about life, as for what difficulties I will encounter in the future, I don't want to worry too much now, now I just want to live a good life now, and leave the future things to face later.

In this regard, Yinglong believes that Ai Ming does have his differences.
