In the early summer of June 2012, the hot land of China ushered in the graduation season of college students.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of college students in China is 6 million every year, and one out of 10 college students cannot find a job.

And Yang Ye, as a member of the thousands of torrents, is naturally also very concerned about his future.

Jixing Internet Cafe, Unit 24.

He holds his chin in one hand and the mouse in the other, constantly opening and closing pages.

Every time he refreshes, he sees one or two familiar job postings.

I had seen these job advertisements three days before.

Today, Yang Ye specially changed into big pants and a white shirt, and wanted to come to the Internet café to play a game of LOL and relax himself.

But when he opened the game, an anxious sense of guilt kept urging him to look for a job, which became his habit for almost half a month.

On the slightly stubble face, there is no longer any childishness that was there.

At this moment, Yang Ye is like a deer tied to a tree, hoping to return to the mountains and forests, but he is powerless to break free from the shackles.

When he first arrived, he had only one word for the university - cool!

After graduating, he also had only one word for his evaluation of the university - heh!

After studying computer science for four years, he can't say that he is outstanding, but he is barely worthy of his parents.

But when it came time to look for a job, he was depressed......

Work experience: 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years.

Monthly salary: 800, 1000, 1500, 2000.

With a monthly salary of 5,000 and no work experience, at least more than 10,000 people are concerned, Yang Ye does not think that he can win this position.

In addition to this, there are a large number of traps floating on the Internet, such as pyramid schemes, scams, and black intermediaries.

Being able to find a job that suits you safely is really inferior to carp jumping over the dragon gate.

"Whew-"

After searching for more than half an hour, Yang Ye found nothing.

He put down the mouse tiredly, clasped his forehead with both hands and closed his eyes in meditation.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye!"

Just as he was easing his emotions, the little fat man wearing a red body on the side handed over a cigarette: "Hurry up to find hair!" Brother Ye really wanted to find a job, so he came to my dad's company! Not to mention anything else, at least 5,000 or more will be eaten and accommodated in January! ”

As soon as he spoke, at least five people in the Internet café looked up, some of them ready to move.

This little fat man's name is Liu Huan, the standard rich second generation, weighing 150 pounds, and Yang Ye can be regarded as a 'life-saving grace' for him.

I remember that at noon that day, Yang Ye had just come out of the Internet café and was encountering a black jeep that knocked Liu Huan to the side of the road.

Since then, the two have become friends, and their relationship is like brothers.

"!" Yang Ye lit a cigarette: "Uncle is engaged in the building materials industry, and I am a computer major, what am I going to do?" ”

"Hey, hey." Liu Huanzhi said that he couldn't wipe his face, and asked while playing a game: "Why don't I ask my dad to help you ask?" ”

"Thank you, Huanzi!" Yang Ye smiled from the bottom of his heart: "From the grinding, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and some things have to be done by yourself." ”

With that, he took a hard puff of his cigarette and reopened the page.

Three minutes later, he was attracted by a job tending a warehouse.

Recruitment: 3 warehouse managers, 18-45 years old, male preferred.

Job Title: Warehouse Management.

Requirements: good health, no hobbies.

Job description: no work experience requirements, mainly engaged in warehouse care, need to assist in handling when the goods come, monthly salary of 2500 yuan + commission, no holidays, night shift. (Company accommodation available)

Work location: Dayun Logistics Co., Ltd. in the southern suburbs of the city.

"2500 plus commission, wrap ...... Looks good. After thinking for a moment, Yang Ye saved the contact number into his mobile phone.

"That's not bad?" Liu Huan pouted and said, "I said Brother Ye, you don't bury yourself!" ”

Yang Ye smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, there is a saying that 'riding a mule is easy to find a horse', and nothing can be done in one step." Now that I've graduated, it's time to shoulder the load. ”

Yang Ye's family situation Liu Huan had heard about it a long time ago, and the family guarded the three-point orchard, and they all relied on the sky for food.

In order to support him to go to college, Yang Ye's sister and mother go to Xinjiang every year to pick cotton.

After four years, Yang's mother fell into a lumbar spine disease, and her sister also missed her youth.

Yang Ye owes too much......

……

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Ye changed into a clean professional outfit and rushed to the southern suburbs of the city for an interview in Liu Ye's black modern.

After 40 minutes of driving, the high-rise buildings began to be replaced by wheat fields and woods, and there were few conspicuous buildings around.

The two sold bottles of water at a nearby gas station and inquired about the address of the Universiade company by the way.

At the end of 3 o'clock, they will arrive at their destination.

"That's it?" Opening the car window, Liu Huan only felt a hot air current, 10 meters in front of a factory building of more than 2,000 square meters, back and forth are some trucks.

From the architectural traces of the factory, you can see the shadow of the 90s.

On the roof of the house hangs a huge production slogan: safety first, production second.

When I drove into the warehouse, I saw all kinds of goods piled up inside, and above it was a huge lifting machine, and four or five porters were busy sweating on the side.

"Which of you is in charge!" After getting out of the car, Liu Huan shouted directly at the top of his voice, and after a while, a person came running.

The name of the person is Zhang Jianmin, 45 years old, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, and he is the manager in charge of the warehouse in the southern suburbs.

"You're both here to apply?"

In the old lounge, Zhang Jianmin took a Chinese from Liu Huan's hand and looked at them suspiciously.

"I applied for the job, and he accompanied me to apply." Yang Ye smiled and helped him light a cigarette, and then took out a prepared resume from his backpack.

Zhang Jianmin glanced at it hastily, smoked his cigarette and said, "Your conditions are good." We're missing the night shift now. No physical work, 1500 per month, you think it's appropriate to come to work tonight. ”

"By 1500! You sent a meal? Without waiting for Yang Ye to ask, Liu Huan exclaimed exaggeratedly!

Yang Ye pushed him up, frowned and asked, "The Internet said that it wasn't 2500?" ”

“2500？” Zhang Jianmin laughed at himself: "Do you know how much I take now? I'm a manager now, and it's only 2500! ”

"Then you're still!" Liu Huan pouted, not believing his nonsense at all.

Zhang Jianmin shook his head and smiled: "Now the company is not as good as before." I'm not afraid to call you the bottom, in two months, don't say it's 1500, even 1000 will be released! ”

"Then why are you still recruiting?" Yang Ye looked at him strangely, completely incomprehensible to what they were doing.

"You don't understand that." Zhang Jianmin took out his cigarette butt and said: "Without workers, the boss can't hold out for a month, maybe even the company is gone......

It turned out that the boss of their company was addicted to gambling, and half a year ago he went to lie in Macau with a few loan sharks, and when he came back, he owed 3 million gambling money.

Now he can barely repay some interest with the company's profits, but it will be difficult to say after two months.

The old workers who learned in advance left early one by one, and the new workers were also kept in the dark, and the reason why Zhang Jianmin told them the truth was mainly for fear of offending people.

In his eyes, as soon as he graduates, he drives a car and sucks China, either the rich second generation or the second generation of officials.

"That's still dry, it's not dry! Walk! Liu Huan kicked his feet and pulled Yang Ye to go out.

"Don't worry." Yang Ye fixed his pace and flicked the cigarette ash away: "Brother Zhang, what time do you go to work at night." ”

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Yang Ye and the others walked out of a nearby restaurant with a drunken Zhang Jianmin, and Liu Huan paid the money first when checking out.

After 3 hours of conversation, Yang Ye discovered that Zhang Jianmin is also a person with a story.

He was a soldier in the Yunnan frontier when he was young, and after being discharged from the army, he was assigned to the city's state-owned enamel factory, and in 95 the factory closed down, and the plant was sold to the current boss, and he, as the director of the workshop at that time, was lucky to be recruited into the company by the new boss and continued to be responsible for the work here.

After 20 years of wind and rain, Zhang Jianmin has witnessed the rise and fall of two generations in this factory, which can't help but make him sigh after drinking: "Fate is like a tide, and the wind and waves are too big——"

At 8:10, Liu Huan drove a car and parked at the gate of the factory, and Yang Ye told him a few words to open the door and get off.

"Huanzi, thank you!"

"Xie Mao! It's a trifle. ”

Liu Huan smiled and threw him a box of China: "Take it to strengthen your courage, I look at the broken place." ”

"Alright, hurry back!" Yang Ye kicked the car door and turned around and walked towards the gate.

Now the delivery car has run out, and the entire warehouse is quiet.

Yang Ye carried a handlamp to inspect the warehouse, and when he returned to the lounge, it was already 8:30.

Looking at the slogans such as 'four modernizations' on the wall, Yang Ye's mood relaxed inexplicably, and the dream was not so far away in his heart.

"I've finally taken the first step...... The salary is a little lower, but there is a lot of spare time to use, which is a good springboard......"

"When I get my salary, I have to treat Huanzi to a good meal, I owe him too much. Well, I have to buy something for my parents and sister first......"

Thinking of his parents, Yang Ye felt an indescribable sourness in his heart. Picking up the phone and putting it down, now is not the time for him to share the joy.

……

12:03 p.m.

'Bang bang bang ......' a series of crashing sounds woke up Yang Ye, who was sleeping soundly. If you listen closely, it's like someone knocking on the door with a heavy object.

"It's so late...... Could it be stealing? Yang Ye nervously held the flashlight. The front and rear doors were intact, and the sound seemed to come from the back door.

During the day, Zhang Jianmin took him around the warehouse.

The area of the old enamel factory is very large, about dozens of acres of land, and the current warehouse is just the No. 1 workshop at that time.

Zhang Jianmin told him that occasionally nearby villagers would come to steal scrap iron, as long as the warehouse was taken care of, and nothing else was left to chance.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Ye walked towards the back door with a half-meter-long steel pipe.

When I walked to the door, I saw a strange blue light oozing out of the crack in the door, and the scene was very fantastic.

"Magic weapon? High technology? Alien? ”

Yang Ye brushed the light with his hand, and was surprised to find that the blue light had a sense of weight, and his fingers were strangely distorted when he swept the light!

"This!" Opening the door, Yang Ye stared at the beads of his eyes, unable to tell whether it was joy or fear.

Thousands of ribbon-like blue light seeped out from the No. 2 plant, stretching its limbs like a thousand-legged jellyfish, and most of the enamel factory was wrapped in it.

After standing for a few minutes, these blue lights began to shrink, and Yang Ye involuntarily followed it into the No. 2 workshop.

I saw that in the empty factory, the blue light was like water, and an oval light gate stood in it, and scrap iron and gravel floated without gravity within a radius of three meters.

"It's like a portal in the game......"

"Am I dreaming......"

Yang Ye was like a curious kitten at this time, cautious and a little involuntary, and the rubble and scrap iron around him were pushed away like feathers.

"What's hidden in this?"

Touching it with his hand, he felt like he had put his hand in the water, and with the turn of his arm, the entire light gate shimmered.

At the same time, Paul, the alpha planet thousands of light-years away, was equally amazed.

He didn't expect the mysterious 'Arbitrary Door' to appear in his home, and there was a 'five-clawed creature' stuck in the door......

"Hello, creature from any gate, are you asking me for help?"
