Chapter 7: Work
It's easy to live, it's easy to live, it's not easy to live, and everyone has to think about how to live after they are born.
When you are a child, all you need to do is cry in your mother's arms so that you can get food; When you're a little older, all you need to do is be coquettish, which can also be appeased; When you start going to school with your little bag on your back, all you need to do is study hard so that you can be encouraged...
However, when you become an adult, when you leave the arms of your parents and leave that warm home, what you need to do is to support yourself, create a better tomorrow with your own hands, and exchange your talents for three meals and one night.
The world is cruel, it will no longer give you food because of your crying, it will no longer comfort you because of your delicateness, and it will not give you encouragement because you work hard and do not look at the road ahead.
All it can do is bring you hunger after a busy day, give you a major blow when you're delicate, give you a disappointing end when you're trying, give you a few inches of land after you die... It is always hitting you, constantly stimulating you, allowing you to taste the ups and downs of this world...
But for me, I don't have to endure that. All I need to do is stay at home every day, watch TV, play on the computer, and occasionally go out shopping, these leisure ways are my way of "survival".
And the money for me to eat, drink, and play doesn't need me to worry about. Because Ouyang Ze will take care of everything for me, he will work hard to bring me endless money, he will stand in front of me to resist the hardships of the road ahead, no matter what, he is my solid support, my dependence on survival...
Frogs will die unconsciously in warm water, and will give up struggling in this warm environment and wait for death with peace of mind. My current situation is like this frog, sitting at the bottom of a pot enjoying the warmth, waiting for death...
But Christao wouldn't let me die like this, she was like boiling water that suddenly came in, making me feel hot and jumping out of the water.
It was she who told me that I should be independent, should not only rely on my love, and should not only rely on Ouyang Ze. It was she who told me that my life was worth it and that I should not leave behind those who loved me. It's her, she's the one who tells me everything, and she's the only one who is good to me...
Yes, it's time for me to jump out of this cage and out of the "warmth trap" that Ouyang Ze gave me. Even though it will be difficult when it's out of the pot, I'm going to stick to my life with my own hands just like ordinary people!
"Well, your daily job is to check these reports and see if there are any errors in the numbers on them."
Although looking at those thick books, there should be a lot of things that I need to deal with, but according to Ouyang Ze's instructions, the workload is no different from that of elementary school students, it is nothing more than some addition and subtraction algorithms.
Despite such a trivial matter, Ouyang Ze still carefully explained the process to me. His fingers slid back and forth over the paper, pointing to different places, and his eyes would look at me from time to time to see if I understood...
"Is it just these little things?"
"Well, that's all you need to do, I don't want you to be too tired."
Ouyang Ze struggled to pull out a smile from the corner of his mouth, as if for him, these things could overwhelm me.
"I..."
"Okay, you can get busy first, I still have some things to deal with, and there will be another meeting later. If that's done, you can rest and go for a dessert or something. ”
Before I could finish speaking, Ouyang Ze interrupted me, and it seemed that he didn't want me to continue. In that case, I have no excuse to continue pestering him, and I can only let him leave my "office"...
"Well, well..."
Ouyang Ze is really like a partner to me, even if I have arrived in his company, his attitude and approach to me are different from others, and I am like a special element.
Although his company is not as big as Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft, it is not small. An entire building of more than ten stories belonged to him. The employees inside were also wearing the same uniforms, and they all nodded when they saw him.
It's my first time here, but this time alone I saw a lot of scenes that only appear in movies, and I saw a lot of scenes that only happen in dreams.
I know what it means to be a real rich man, what it means to be a real high society, and I know the gap between me and them... I know that even if I am Ouyang Ze's partner now, the gap between me and them is heaven and earth.
But even though they were in the sky and I was underground, Ouyang Ze still gave me the treatment that only "in the sky".
The "office" he gave me was exactly the same as the one he was in, with a wine cooler, a sofa, and even a miniature golf course. This kind of room is not suitable for my current position, but I can't refuse, because in the "cage" he gave me, I can only be a bird who says "YES", not a person who says "NO"...
This office has very good lighting, not only can I receive the sunlight coming in from the window, bringing warmth to the outside world, but also I can feel the eyes of those people outside the door, those eyes of fear and awe.
They are like children who have done something wrong, they are so cautious when they look at me, for fear that they will attract my angry scolding, no, it's not mine, it's Ouyang Ze's, it's Ouyang Ze's angry scolding. Because he gave me such an aura, he was the one who made me fear by them...
In order to "finish these tasks quickly, otherwise you will have to stay overtime at night" as Ouyang Ze said, I could only take the small pen on the desk and the computer and start a long "working career".
"389612 + 587298 = 976910, paying 30% tax is... 293073, there's still ... 683837…”
This is the kind of calculation problem that only elementary school students should have, and it has become my job. It's such a simple calculation problem, it only takes a small calculator to solve, but Ouyang Ze equipped me with a computer full of games on the desktop for me to use...
How could I not see such an obvious intention? How could I not know such a perfunctory request for me? But even if you know, even if you know me, what can you do? Isn't it just about obediently carrying out his decisions...
The bird in the rich man's birdcage also has the aura of a rich man, although it does not have a human body, does not have a human high status, but he can become noble because of the rich man's money. But if one day, he loses the love of the rich and loses the money, what will happen to it?
