Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao were surprised at first, and then they took it for granted - otherwise, who would want to raise an unrelated young man as a son for nothing? However, thinking about it this way, the gap between his son and Qi Min has widened again, no matter what people say, they are married, and their family is not in a hurry to soak in the brain-like body at home all day.

Ms. Lin Ying couldn't help but start thinking about how to find a partner for her son. After thinking about it, he first asked, "Did Lele meet this kid abroad?" ”

"Yes......" The old couple has always felt that it is the most embarrassing for a Chinese girl to find a foreign boyfriend, at this time Mr. Qi Zhiguang had to explain again, "But our 'son' is also Chinese, it's just ...... I ran into it over there. ”

Who believes this, after all, Anton looks like a half-blood. Fortunately, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was very witty and added: "You don't think he looks like a pure Han person, right?" He is of ethnic Russian descent - ethnic Russians know, right? Minority. ”

"Then there are still extra points in the college entrance examination, right?" Ms. Lin Ying asked casually.

"It used to be." Mr. Qi Zhiguang replied and said, "It's probably gone now." ”

Qi Min is the boyfriend he found, which is indeed not easy to learn from. Ms. Lin Ying half-jokingly said: "The young man is really good-looking. I don't know if there are any relatives and friends, so I will introduce one to us. ”

"Hey, you're still worried about this, Gao Gao may be annoying." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong patted her, "Now the concept is different, young people don't have to get married." ”

Ms. Lin Ying felt that this was a bit of a backache when she stood and spoke, after all, her daughters were married, and it always seemed a little strange to tell others that marriage was not important.

However, Mr. Li Tingyao said very tolerantly: "Yes." Nowadays, there are many ways for young people to communicate, and the people people who people know in the brain-like body are not necessarily less than the people we know in reality. ”

"But what can you do with soaking in the brain-like body all day long?" Ms. Lin Ying couldn't help but complain.

In fact, the main contradiction is still in the addiction to the brain-like body, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang glanced at each other. As the inventor of the brain-like body, their daughter also soaks the brain-like body all day long, and they often soak the brain-like body. But no one has ever said that Qi Min is not doing her right job - there is no doubt that the brain-like body is her "right business".

"Gao Gao likes brain-like bodies so much, why don't you find a related job?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong suggested.

"Huh? Then you have to soak in the brain-like body all day long? Ms. Lin Ying didn't think so.

"Well, you don't understand. Brain-like bodies are virtual worlds, what is the essential difference from the real world? Working in a brain-like body is also a serious job, just like going to work. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said, "We are working in Lele, and we can go to work by plugging in the interface, and we don't have to run back and forth in the morning and evening." ”

Ms. Lin Ying pondered it carefully, and suddenly felt that this was quite good. Doesn't her son like to soak in brains? Find a job in the brain-like body, and let him soak this time. And if you can spend more time at work, you might even be able to find a partner.

"Hey, what qualifications do you need to find a job in the brain-like body?" Ms. Lin Ying asked.

"Different positions are different...... Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong really hasn't understood it specifically.

But Mr. Qi Zhiguang said: "Wait for Lele to come out later, and ask her again." ”

After a while, Qi Min finally picked up the rope, and Gen Anton walked downstairs together. Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and asked about looking for a job.

"This ...... Easy to do. Qi Min said quickly, "R&D positions may require a little more professional knowledge, but being an administrator is definitely possible." ”

Although the administrator has just gone on strike, it does not affect the recruitment of any more people. The brain-like body is expanding all the time, and the team of administrators is constantly expanding. Brain-like companies are reluctant to support idlers, but it is not impossible to raise one or two employees who take the CTO relationship.

Administrator...... What are you doing? Mr. Li Tingyao was a little hesitant.

Mr. Qi Zhiguang picked up and said: "It's just that I look at the part of the brain-like body area that I am responsible for, and don't have an accident." ”

"What's the matter, Lele is doing this now?" Ms. Lin Ying asked, "Why are you not at school anymore?" ”

"No...... I'm doing R&D. Qi Min smiled a little embarrassedly, "The company, after all, it earns a lot." ”

That's settled. Qi Min promised to "introduce" Li Yanjing to the brain-like company, and asked the old neighbor and his wife to go back and discuss with their son first. Although it was a decision to pat the head, Ms. Lin Ying and Mr. Li Tingyao also went to the hospital in a hurry. Their generation always felt that young people should work hard, even if they had a mixed day.

After figuring out what happened to the old couple, Qi Min was dragged out by Anton to go through the procedures for buying a car. Because I wanted to buy a car, I simply didn't drive there, but fortunately, there were a lot of empty seats on the subway at this point.

Anton looked at Qi Min's sluggish expression although he was very normal on the surface, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed. But he also clearly knows that Qi Min's malaise is not because of overtime. If work is about creating a better world, then she can do it like she has been beaten. But if working overtime is just to fix a bug in a system that was forced to come out early, and the system was born prematurely to cover up the real problem — it might feel like the effort was not worth it.

But it is clear that the problems of the brain-like company are not unique or accidental, but the structural defects that inevitably arise from uneven development. More qualitatively, this is the fundamental contradiction between the so-called sociality and private ownership of capital. Although Qi Min, Yelena, and Zhou Xiaoshan do not use this for personal gain, brain-like companies are still fundamentally inseparable from the capitalist operating model.

And in this mode, even the creator of the brain-like body cannot escape the fate of self-alienation and becoming a tool man.

"I want to know...... Have you ever thought about what to do in the future? Anton asked suddenly softly.

This problem seems to have no beginning or end, but Qi Min can naturally understand it, he is referring to the current problem of the brain-like company, how to solve it in the future. If it can't be solved, what will she do when she wants to retire in the future?

In this regard, Qi Min just said: "In the future...... It really doesn't have to be later. ”

"Why?" Anton was a little surprised, "You are trying to fight against infinite contradictions with your limited life." ”

"It's too early to think about it, and we're probably never going to retire forever." Qi Min said lightly, "If I hang up one day, I will continue to work as a dead soul." They are all saying that social development is slow and the time is not ripe...... It's okay, I can wait. ”

She took a deep breath and said in a deep tone that didn't match the current atmosphere, "I'm not going to give up on the brain-like body. ”
