Chapter 41: Working Hours#
Ji Lian persuaded her to listen to her mother more? Qi Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, not quite understanding what this meant.
Ji Lian looked at her as if she was a little puzzled, so she asked, "How does your mother usually treat you?" Do you care? β
"What does this have to do with what we're going to say?" Qi Mi asked rhetorically.
"It's about the strategy of the future." Ji Lian said unequivocally.
"My mom...... It's busy. Qi Fan said reluctantly, "I don't know how much care is normal, anyway, since I was in junior high school, she has never been to my parent-teacher conference." β
"That's normal, if other parents know that your family is rich, you can be annoyed to death at school all day long." Ji Lian said immediately.
"How?" Qi fans didn't understand it a little.
"Hug the thighs of the local tyrants." Ji Lian said, "There is also a family company in our class, and he has always been taken care of. Not only do classmates come to rub the relationship, but the teacher will often order him. β
"Popular, isn't it good?" Qi Fan asked.
"What, you like this?" Ji Lian asked rhetorically.
Qi Fan thought for a moment, but still shook his head. She has always liked to be alone, and even her classmates who play well in the class are not too close. Originally, there was also a factor of her bad legs, but now it has become a fixed character.
"So it's better to keep a low profile, and your mother has no problem with that." Ji Lian said in an old voice, "Then does she care about you at home?" β
"She's busy." Qi Fan just said so.
How busy a person is is likely to be related to the volume of her business. Ji Lian pondered for a moment and asked, "How busy are you?" β
"She hadn't woken up when I went to school, and she hadn't gotten off work yet." Qi Fan said a little unhappily, "I don't know what to do at night." β
"Is she going to have dinner with you?" Ji Lian asked.
"Eatβcan people still skip eating?" Qi fans felt strange.
"That's not a lot of work." Ji Lian couldn't help but say, "My mom, they just go to work normally, and it's similar to this." If I had worked overtime, I wouldn't have seen anyone at dinner. β
"All so busy?" For the first time, Qi Mi heard that other people's parents were as busy as her mother - didn't it mean that the law said that the law would work eight hours a day? If you start work at 9 a.m., it will take you eight hours to 5 p.m.
She used to think that only people with no fixed working hours, such as management positions and team leaders, would delay until after 5 o'clock, and the employees who clocked in to work would be able to leave work on time. According to this line of thinking, she originally believed that the positions of leaders and employees have their own advantages and disadvantages, leaders work long hours and high wages, and employees work short hours and low wages, and the pay and income are corresponding. And now it sounds like that's not the case.
"I'm basically so busy with all kinds of work." Ji Lian said, "It's good that your mother has time to have dinner with the family every day." β
"No, isn't it an eight-hour workday?" Qi Fan asked.
"Cut, an eight-hour workday, a 9-to-5 is a long time ago." Ji Lian said, "I started to develop 996 ten years ago - that is, I went to work at 9 o'clock in the morning and left work at 9 o'clock in the evening, six days a week. β
"Isn't that a violation of the law?" Qi Fan asked.
"Then who knows, it's like this at work anyway." Ji Lian stirred the fairy grass cube that sank at the bottom with the straw in the cup, "996 is working 12 hours a day, which is actually similar to high school." In the high school of our school, the morning reading starts at half past seven in the morning, and the evening self-study ends at half past nine, which is 14 hours. Monday through Friday is two hours more than 12 hours a day, adding up to 10 hours, for a total of two hours less than 996. β
Hearing him say this, Qi Fan really felt that the future was full of misfortune. High school was a very terrifying day in the mouths of others in her class, the first and second years of high school were heavy on academics, and the third year of high school was full of studies, and the third year of high school was full of days and nights to review the content of the college entrance examination. It would be fine if there was only one time in this period, but if the work that I had to do for the rest of my life was like this, it would be a gloom.
"I really want to drop out." Qi Fan couldn't help but say.
"Alas, even if your eldest lady doesn't go to school or work, it doesn't matter if she is supported by her family." Ji Lian sighed and shook his head, "There is no way for grass people like us, we have to learn no matter what." β
Although he knew that he was pretending, Qi Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. She had to admit that when she learned that the average person worked 12Γ6 hours a week, the first thought that came to her mind was that she must try to meet the standards of the heir, so as to prevent her from living a more painful working life than high school like those "ordinary people" in the future. But if Qi Fan said this as it was, I am afraid it would make Ji Lian feel uncomfortable.
He is an "ordinary man" and he knows it too. In the story of Qi Mi's second illness, she herself is the real protagonist and the heir of the brain-like empire, but in Ji Lian's same story of the second illness, he himself is just the protagonist's military advisor. Under the current situation of class division, even young people from different classes no longer have the same dreams.
But that's all about what's in front of you.
Ji Lian brought the topic back to Qi Mi's family situation: "Hey, don't talk about this. I found out some new news yesterday, it is said that among the black market merchants advertising in the old city, there is a Russian hacker who sells personal information. β
"What is the difference between Russian hackers and Chinese hackers?" Qi Fan hurriedly asked.
"There are two old areas of brain-like bodies, St. Petersburg District has fewer people, and it is more relaxed than Beijing District. The Russian hackers, who were the most active on the Internet, basically gradually shifted their 'business' to brain-like activities. Ji Lian explained, "Fortunately, the development of any item in the brain-like body is completely controlled by the brain-like company, otherwise these people would probably be able to wear a lot of holes in the St. Petersburg district." β
"This kind of person has also come to Beijing?" Qi Fan asked with some concern.
"According to the rumors, it has come, and we have to carefully observe the movement of the old city standings in the near future......" Ji Lian said in a low voice, "This time I plan to visit in person, if you have time, you can also come with me." β
"Do you know Russian?" Qi Fan asked.
"Hey, is it possible that Russian doesn't matter, why don't you just use a translation plugin?" Ji Lian said, "I went because since the other party is not a Chinese, even if the brain-like company investigates in the future, I can say that I don't know what the other party is doing, at least so as not to let myself be banned in this matter." β
"Hahaha, you can't ban the number in the brain-like body." Qi Fan couldn't help but laugh. Although she hasn't been in the brain-like body much since junior high school, she also knows very well that the identity in the brain-like body corresponds to the real world one-to-one, and there is no such thing as a title or not. Of course, there are punishment rules, but not by canceling the player's identity.
Ji Lian blushed a little when he was said, waved his hand to cover it up: "I'm just making an analogy, it's not good to close the small black house without a title, isn't it?" β
