Chapter 1 Job Search
(a)
This is a train bound for City D.
The summer weather is a bit hot and humid, and the sun is very harsh. The car was filled with the strong body odor and fishy smell of migrant workers.
Jia Xiaodao sat by the window, looking out the window, preoccupied. He's reminiscing about a recent experience. How thrilling, Jia Xiaodao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Yes, the story takes place in late autumn.
At Jia Xiaodao's university, the chrysanthemums in the garden are beginning to wither. The graduating students no longer seem to have the passion of their juniors and sophomores, the breakups of those who break up, those who go abroad, those who look for jobs find jobs, and those who are confused continue to be confused.
There are also a small number of people who get up on time every day, and then come to the so-called graduate school entrance examination struggle room early to fight again without gunpowder. They hope that in this battle for graduate school outside the college entrance examination, they will fight for another world.
Jia Xiaodao is worried about his future. In June of the second year, he was about to officially leave school, but there was not even a shadow of his workplace. Some of the students in the class with good family backgrounds have already been contacted by their parents for superior jobs, and some students who usually work hard have also won positions that they are satisfied with.
Seeing this, Jia Xiaodao couldn't help but panic in his heart.
But what can he do? That's what society is all about. Either fight for yourself or fight for your father. Having a mayor's dad is better than a Ph.D. Therefore, there is no strong father, only himself is the "father".
If you don't have both, then you are a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. And the cruel society is the wolf forest. Just like Jia Fei, a popular young writer in China, wrote in his novel: "Society is actually a complex animal world, the son of a poor person is a flock of sheep, and the son of a big official and businessman is a group of wolves and tigers." Therefore, if the children of the poor do not want to be devoured and slaughtered, they must try to make themselves run faster and live a few more years. Perhaps after several generations of hard work, the poor son who turned over may also become a wolf and a tiger. And some of the sons of those wolves and tigers are disabled because they are sick, which gives the poor children a chance to change roles. ”
When Jia Xiaodao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Aren't you the sheep among them? He was a little complaining and a little disappointed, but he was very unwilling. He didn't want to be himself, abandoned and devoured by society.
Recently, in addition to worrying about work, Jia Xiaodao is still busy with the publication of his novel "Chinese-style Youth 1". Life seems hectic and helpless.
However, just when Jia Xiaodao was anxious about this, his high school classmate Wang Ming contacted him.
Yes, since graduating from high school, this former tablemate Wang Ming has not seen him for many years. Wang Ming is now studying at the Law Department of Southwest XX University, and will officially graduate next year, just like Jia Xiaodao.
Contacting Wang Ming, Jia Xiaodao was very happy. He chatted excitedly with Wang Minghai on QQ.
"Brother, where do you go up?" Wang Ming asked on the other end of QQ.
"I haven't found a job yet, it's hard to find. Now employers are all picking. In the past, when I was in high school, the teacher called on the students: Students, you have to work hard, only today's hard work will exchange for your happiness tomorrow. University is the turning point of your destiny. When you go to college, you change your fate. But now fate has changed. But the fate is getting worse and worse. Some families even owe a lot of bad debts. Hey, it's sad to mention. What about you, are you at work now? Jia Xiaodao said a little helplessly and angrily.
"I got a job and worked as an assistant lawyer in a law firm in A City, Hunan. It's five or six thousand yuan a month, and it may be about 10,000 yuan after it becomes a regular. Wang Ming said lightly, but a faint trace of pride could be heard in his tone.
"It's so awesome, my brother is good, you can take care of me more in the future." Hearing this, Jia Xiaodao was impressed by this high school classmate who was less than 160 centimeters tall.
Yes, I remember when I was in high school, Wang Ming always had a long string of snot under his nostrils, and then as soon as he exerted force, the snot was exhaled in and out. The whole person is like a clown, stupid. At that time, there were few girls in the class who were willing to communicate with him.
It is true that people cannot be seen, and the sea water cannot be measured. I haven't seen you for a few years, but I didn't expect such a big change.
"Five or six thousand yuan is nothing, you can't make a lot of money as a lawyer, you have to take other ways to get rich!" Just when Jia Xiaodao admired Wang Ming so much, Wang Ming showed an attitude of indifference to his current work. He continued: "There are many ways to earn money, both freedom and prospects, which are better than working for others. ”
"What kind of Tao are you talking about, the underworld, the white way, or the business way?" Jia Xiaodao asked a little curiously.
"Trail. It is a new type of money-making model. This thing will not be clear to you for a while. It's a new kind of idea, and with this kind of idea, everything you do will seem very easy. Just like being a general in war, if you are familiar with "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies", you may win a hundred battles in battle. Wang Ming blew in front of Jia Xiaodao.
"Well, I'll go to the publishing company in Chongqing in a few weeks to sign a contract, and I'll talk to you in detail when I come over. By the way, you can also be a legal counselor for me, and see if there is any problem with my contract? ”
"It's okay, I was also going back to Chongqing to take the English level 4 exam, so we had a good chat after we met. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and we brothers need to have a drink. ”
After chatting about this, Jia Xiaodao went offline.
After that, Jia Xiaodao began to devote himself to the intense revision work. His roommates Lin Feng, Dr. He and others also had no intention of staying in the dormitory at all. Some of them continued to go out with their girlfriends to spend the Spring Festival, and some went to the game hall outside the school to play games to spend their youth.
Jia Xiaodao stayed in the bedroom and changed the novel.
The scenery in late autumn is very beautiful, but Jia Xiaodao doesn't have any intention to go out to watch.
(b)
Through continuous communication with the editors of the publishing house, the revision work of nearly ten days has finally come to an end!
Jia Xiaodao felt like he had completed a major task, and his heart suddenly relaxed a lot. Yes, the fruits of my labor this year can finally be put on the market and meet readers in time.
After making an appointment with the publishing house to meet, Jia Xiaodao bought a train ticket and rushed to Chongqing. Jia Xiaodao is located in City D, which is not far from Chongqing. Whether it's a train or a car, it's only a few hours away.
On the train, Jia Xiaodao thought to himself that he hadn't been to Chongqing for 5 years. I remember the first time I went to Chongqing, when I was in high school. At that time, when he saw the bustling streets of Chongqing, he felt like Grandma Liu, as if he had walked into the Grand View Garden, and everything in the city was very fresh and prosperous.
Five years later, Jia Xiaodao set foot on the land of Chongqing again. This time, what is different is that he came to Chongqing as a writer. When Jia Xiaodao thought of this, he felt a trace of pride in his heart.
At the exit of the train station, Jia Xiaodao met Wang Ming, a long-lost tablemate. Wang Ming was wearing a seven-wolf brand shirt and a pair of black leather shoes that were shiny and shiny. There was a Chinese cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke swirled around.
Seeing Jia Xiaodao, Wang Ming ran over from afar and hugged him warmly.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries. Under Wang Ming's lead, Jia Xiaodao rode with him and rushed to the publishing unit.
On the bus, Jia Xiaodao asked Wang if he had taken the foreign language test. Wang Ming shook his head and said lightly: "If you don't take that test, it's not interesting, and it's useless to need that certificate now." A college diploma is not worth 100,000! Money is the real boss, and with money, anything is possible! ”
Hearing Wang Ming's words, Jia Xiaodao was a little surprised, and felt puzzled and puzzled by his values. However, Jia Xiaodao had to admit that when there was no money, there was actually nothing to talk about. Not to mention the beautiful girl and the mellow red wine.
About half an hour later, Wang Ming accompanied Jia Xiaodao to the publishing company. Both parties read the publishing contract and had no objection, so they signed the contract with each other. In the evening, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, the publishing editor invited Jia Xiaodao and Wang Ming to eat hot pot together.
At the table, Wang Ming told Jia Xiaodao in detail that he had found a job in A City, Hunan, and was working at a law firm. A salary of about 5,000 yuan per month. Although the income is relatively good, it is not enough for expenses. Recently, Wang Ming was talking about a business. If the business is successful, Wang Ming said that he will have his first pot of gold, and it will be extremely convenient to do anything in the future.
Hearing this, Jia Xiaodao had some doubts in his heart. But seeing Wang Ming speaking in a frothy and passionate manner, just like an actor who memorizes his lines, I have some little admiration in my heart.
Subsequently, Wang Ming talked to Jia Xiaodao about his life plans, threatening to earn millions within a few years. This made Jia Xiaodao feel that Wang Ming had completely changed, and he had become particularly capable and ambitious.
Jia Xiaodao felt lost and felt that his university was a little wasted.
After eating the hot pot, the publishing editor suggested going to the bar to sing. Jia Xiaodao didn't want the publishing editor to continue to break the bank, so he lied that he had something to do, and watched the night scene on the street with Wang Ming.
(c)
On the way, Wang Ming said to Jia Xiaodao: "Brother, you came out this time anyway, why don't I take you to Hunan Law Firm to have a look." The right to travel is also okay to see the world. ”
"Okay, I'll go and see how luxurious Brother Wang's office is! Haha, will it be the president's office, in general. Jia Xiaodao thought that he was mainly looking for a job as soon as possible. This time I may be able to meet an opportunity in Hunan.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Wang Ming and Jia Xiaodao bought two tickets to Hunan at Chongqing Railway Station. The train departs at 1 a.m. Since it was still early, Wang Ming suggested that they first go to the Internet café near the train station to surf the Internet and pass the time. Jia Xiaodao readily agreed.
In the Internet café, Jia Xiaodao and Wang Ming each chatted with their QQ friends and opened different web pages. Jia Xiaodao was surfing the Internet while worrying about his future. Yes, I haven't studied hard since college. Scholarship, also did not get once. Unfortunately, I also hung a few subjects. In addition, he missed too much class and offended the leaders of the department, and it is very likely that he will not receive his degree certificate when he graduates.
Jia Xiaodao thought that if his parents knew the news, they would be so angry that they would explode. His mother, who had been sick all the year round, would have stomped her feet in grief and scolded her in every way. In their opinion, if they can't get a degree certificate, they will go to college in vain for a few years, let alone find a job.
Jia Xiaodao didn't know how to explain to his parents, and he didn't know what to do next. Now, in addition to his ID card, the only thing that can prove his identity is the ID card of the Communist Youth League member.
But what is the use of Jia Xiaodao? It's like a beggar who wants to eat steamed buns, but holds a hard stone in his hand. In fact, hunger and thirst cannot be solved.
Jia Xiaodao felt that his future was uncertain. In his heart, he felt remorse for his impulsive behavior. At the beginning, why didn't you think about it too much, if you didn't bring your girlfriend Jiaojiao into the dormitory, she should still be there now, and slowly enjoy her college life. However, it was too late to regret it. The degree certificate has been lost. girlfriend, also broke up with herself because of this.
Jia Xiaodao has now lost his love, will also lose his degree certificate, and perhaps lose his future. The only thing he is still somewhat pleased with is that he has written a book. However, these books have not yet been published, so what use can they be in today's focus on economic benefits?
He also thought about finding a job. Alone, when he went to the employer to apply for a job, the person in charge saw Jia Xiaodao's resume, his face did not have any brilliance, so he politely refused: "Our unit pays more attention to the selection of practical talents, and I have read your resume, but it still does not fit our requirements." Hearing this, Jia Xiaodao felt very uncomfortable. But what can I do? On his resume, he can't come up with something decent to prove himself.
This time he agreed to go to Hunan with Wang Ming, Jia Xiaodao knew in his heart that the ostensible reason was Wang Ming's strong invitation, but in fact, it was because he promised himself that he would help Jia Xiaodao find a job in Hunan City A. Wang Ming said that it is either the media or the cultural company.
Thinking of this, Jia Xiaodao's heart swelled with a small hope. yes, it's okay to stay at school now, so it's better to go out and break in. Follow Wang Ming to Hunan to break into a career, or really be able to break out of the world.
Thinking of this, Jia Xiaodao had more confidence. He turned his head at random and saw that Wang Ming was opening some websites related to AL Company. Jia Xiaodao chuckled in his heart, in his impression, it seemed to be some kind of direct selling company.
Jia Xiaodao looked at Wang Ming, looking at him very focused. I had a trace of doubt in my heart.
Jia Xiaodao asked: "Brother, what are you doing on the AL web page, aren't they pyramid schemes?" ”
"Hehe, you may have misunderstood AL. Amway is a Fortune 500 company, operating legally in the world, how can it be a pyramid scheme? There are hundreds of branches in China. Wang Ming replied confidently.
"Oh." Jia Xiaodao agreed in disbelief.
Wang Ming continued, "AL's products are well-known all over the world, and his marketing method is a new milestone in the sales industry. We should learn from his business philosophy and be able to use it freely in the future business. ”
When Jia Xiaodao heard Wang Ming's talk, he didn't say anything anymore. Because he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it. After all, in the current business field, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain. It's also a good thing to learn some advanced ways of doing business.
Time flies quickly, and the time for the train to start will arrive in a while. Jia Xiaodao and Wang Ming each carried a bag and boarded the train to Hunan.
In the car, Jia Xiaodao and Wang Ming chatted about the fun past of high school. Their nostalgia for high school is so enthusiastic and exciting. They talked about how they chased the class girl in the next class when they were in high school, how they wrote love letters, and how they skipped school to play game consoles. Yes, in those years, they had a girl they liked together, but this girl had already thrown herself into the arms of someone else.
Of course, Wang Ming also lost no time in bragging to Jia Xiaodao about how well he ate in Hunan City A, and how much he called for wind and rain. Wang Ming patted Jia Xiaodao's chest and promised: "Brother, I will definitely be able to help you find a satisfactory job." I was very strong with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper in City A, and we were drinking together the other day. You are a literary young man, and you are still famous, as long as I say hello, they will definitely want it. ”
"But I couldn't get a bachelor's degree. They don't care? Jia Xiaodao asked a little unconfidently.
"Hey, you baby. A diploma is worth a few egg dollars. It's not just a piece of paper. I believe in Brother Wang, as long as you are talented, you are not afraid to go all over the world. Wang Ming immediately encouraged Jia Xiaodao.
In fact, at this time, Jia Xiaodao still had no confidence. I don't quite believe in Wang Ming's rhetoric. Because, in a few years in college, he has also dealt with the media for several years, and he knows that it is not so easy to become a journalist. In many cases, it is to solve the internal family, or the public examination. The public examination is just a formality, and it is just a radish recruitment.
Jia Xiaodao faintly felt that Wang Ming was bragging. However, since he has no way out now, he can't say that Wang Ming's boasting is broken. He still had a glimmer of hope, perhaps because he was too worried. Maybe Wang Ming really has that great ability. Who knows for sure.
At this time, the end of Wang Ming's bragging was even more fierce. He also mentioned that he knew which boss he knew and which ** official he was a buddy brother, and he showed off that he also had a rich girlfriend.
Regarding his girlfriend, Jia Xiaodao was even more amused in his heart. Yes, like Wang Ming, who is less than 160 cm tall, can find a beautiful girlfriend, and he is also very rich. So Jia Xiaodao, who is 178 cm tall, is not "a group of wives and concubines".
The sun came out in the west. Or rather, the Arabian Nights.
Jia Xiaodao knocked melon seeds while catering to Wang Ming's boasting. In his heart, he didn't want to admit it at all, Wang Ming now has a friend.
(iv)
I don't know why, the more you want the train to go slower, but the more the train looks like a rocket. Jia Xiaodao and Wang Ming didn't blow much yet, and the car arrived in City A.
The one who came to pick up Wang Ming at City A Station was a sworn sister he mentioned to Jia Xiaodao, named Xiaojie. Xiaojie is fashionably dressed, fair-skinned, and has a very slender figure, which looks very attractive. Jia Xiaodao looked at Xiao Jie, and his soul was hooked.
In fact, in the car, Wang Ming told Jia Xiaodao more than once that Xiaojie would automatically drop out of school in his second year of college. After dropping out of school, she traveled almost half of China, working as a company clerk, as an editor, and as a beauty product. Later, he co-opened a bar in City A, and now the business is booming.
According to Wang Ming, Xiaojie is now a millionaire. The underworld, the white road, and the business road are the ways that can be eaten. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are all familiar. As soon as Wang Ming mentioned this sister, he was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground and spat flying.
Jia Xiaodao could see an exaggerated yearning and envy in Wang Ming's eyes.
Wang Ming said that he went to City A to find a job, and Xiaojie's sister helped him, and Xiaojie found a job as a lawyer for Wang Ming in City A Law Firm through his connections. When Wang Ming said this to Jia Xiaodao, his nose would rise upward, and his eyes were staring at Jia Xiaodao, as if he was afraid of Jia Xiaodao and didn't believe what he said.
came with Xiaojie, and there were two tall men. Jia Xiaodao didn't think much about it at the time. He thinks that once a person is rich, he will show off and invite a few bodyguards, which is also normal. is like a coal boss who broke out overnight, after he has money, he will always find a few beautiful girls and hug him left and right to show his strength.
These two big men helped Jia Xiaodao and Wang Ming put their luggage in the trunk of Xiaojie's Volkswagen, and then squeezed into the back seat with Jia Xiaodao. Wang Ming sat in the co-pilot's seat. Two big men squeezed Jia Xiaodao in the middle.
The air was a little depressing, a little hot. Jia Xiaodao felt depressed and uncomfortable. I was a little out of breath in my chest. He felt like a prisoner, guarded by two "policemen", deprived of space and freedom.
The car drove for a long time. Along the way, Wang Ming and Xiaojie were both talking about business. Jia Xiaodao was not interested in this, but the two big men next to him squeezed Jia Xiaodao without saying a word, just like two sculptures.
Jia Xiaodao remembered the two bull-headed snake-faced goblins next to Tang Seng in "The Great Sage's Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box". But Jia Xiaodao felt that he was not Tang Seng, and he didn't have such good eloquence, so he could make the two little goblins so long-winded that they vomited blood and died.
Jia Xiaodao also wanted to talk to the big man, and he also wanted to learn from Tang Seng and use his eloquence to make the two big men vomit blood and die. But when I opened my mouth, I couldn't find some suitable words.
So, Jia Xiaodao looked at the bustling street outside the car window and remained silent to show his calmness and profundity.
Jia Xiaodao asked, "Big brother, where are you from?" ”
"Local, you and Wang Ming are from the same place, right?" Dahan wanted to speak kindly, but because of his fierce appearance, he always felt very stiff when he said these words.
"You guys are bodyguards, when I was a kid and watched movies, I admired killers and bodyguards the most. I think they're so stylish. Especially wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses. That's just handsome. Big brother, if you wear sunglasses, you will be more handsome than the actors on TV! Jia Xiaodao continued to open up the topic and said to Dahan.
"Hehe, don't be close, don't be a fart when you talk, it's really good!" A big bearded man, the corners of his mouth moved, and his smile was a little stiff.
"Hehe, really, don't say I really want to fart!" Jia Xiaodao didn't know why, he really let out a loud fart. After a while, the two big men were so stinky that they twisted their noses and poured them on both sides.
The big man was a little angry, his face was very long, and he cursed in his mouth: "You fucking stinky fart with a hammer!" ”
"Hehe, big brother, there's no way, you've spoken, I have to obey orders. And let the fart sound. ”
Jia Xiaodao's loud fart finally made him feel more comfortable. He felt his body, less crowded. The two big men turned their bodies sideways to both sides of the car.
Soon, the car drove into a neighborhood and stopped. Jia Xiaodao found that this is a family home, the house is the kind built in the 80s, and the exterior walls are covered with dust. There is no elevator and it is very old. There are 8 floors.
Wang Ming was the first to open the car door and walked towards the trunk. He dragged out his and Jia Xiaodao's luggage, and said to Jia Xiaodao, "Brother, we're here, let's move things home!" ”
After Wang Ming finished speaking, he carried his large cloth box and walked towards a staircase. Jia Xiaodao also picked up his duffel bag and followed Wang Ming up. The two big men followed Xiao Jie, walking behind, whispering something.
When he came to the 5th floor, Wang Ming rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by a very young woman, dyed blonde hair, and wearing a white dress. The skin is very white and there is not a single blemish on the face. Jia Xiaodao found that this girl was a person who could be noticed at a glance in the crowd.
"I'm back, Brother Wang. Aunt Li, everyone is waiting for you. After the girl opened the door, she was ready to take the big cloth box in Wang Ming's hand.
"Thanks, no, it's heavy, you can't lift it. I got it. Wang Ming took the box in his hand and walked towards the room.
Jia Xiaodao followed, and the girl smiled at Jia Xiaodao in a friendly manner, revealing her snow-white teeth. Following Wang Ming into the room, Jia Xiaodao was stunned, the room was a three-bedroom suite. In the living room, there was a large group of people, about 10 or so. They were gathered around and discussing something.
The rooms were cramped and messy, almost all of them were on the floor.
Wang Ming put the luggage next to his bed, and then sat on his bed with a free and easy buttocks. The so-called bed is a mat with a few cardboard boxes containing Coca-Cola underneath the mat. On the mat, a thin quilt with sheets.
Wang Ming sat on the bed, beckoned Jia Xiaodao, and put things there. Sitting here casually, it's all a family. Wang Ming pointed to the bed next to him, this is the eldest aunt's, this is the second aunt's, and this is Xiao Xiao's. It's all my own family.
When Wang Ming introduced Jia Xiaodao, he found Jia Xiaodao's puzzled expression. He stood up, patted Jia Xiaodao's shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Brother, what's the point of going out and enduring some hardship." It's no more comfortable than home. We are still starting a business, and we must learn to endure hardships and learn to endure. I can't bear this hardship, how can I break into the world in the future, don't you say? ”
Jia Xiaodao's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, he didn't know that this so-called hardship was like this. But he couldn't find the right reason to convince himself. At this moment, there was a round of applause in the living room outside. Wang Ming stood up conditionally, pulled Jia Xiaodao energetically, and walked to the living room, "Brother, go out to listen to the class, my sister will give a lecture!" ”
Before Jia Xiaodao could understand what was going on, he was pulled by Wang Ming to the living room. They sat down in the last row, on the floor. Jia Xiaodao saw that more than a dozen people in the living room were all in a large semicircle, intently listening to Sister Xiaojie and "lecturing" in front.
"Big brothers and sisters, brothers and friends, uncles and aunts, what is most lacking in the 21st century? What is lacking is talent. What is talent, it is talent that promotes social development and promotes social progress, such as scientists, writers, philosophers, this kind of talent. But how many such people are there are only a small minority. ”
"Are you a scientist, are you a writer? Are you a philosopher? Are you not? Are you not? (Sister Xiaojie, pointing to the middle-aged men and women listening to the lecture in front of her). You're not. So, what about the so-called college students now, what are they, are they talented? Tell you that they are not. Why, after a few years of college, what did they learn? Knowledge, technology? Or is it a means to make money? No. Some people say that what you learn in college is the old theories that are almost useless after graduation! I agree with this point of view, do you know about the recent abandonment of the exam by 10,000 people in Chongqing? Do you know that college students now come out to become beggars and sell skewers after graduation, and do you know about graduate students from prestigious universities and being homeless beggars? What does this mean, talent doesn't have to go to college! Sister Xiaojie drank a glass of water and continued to instill "golden and jade good words" in everyone.
"Thomas Edison once said that genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent diligence. Lu Xun first mentioned that I used other people's coffee time to write. Yes, we don't believe in genius, but we believe in ourselves. Who said that we can't become Bill Gates, we can't become Li Ka-shing, they can do it, we can do it too! Fate is in our own hands, and we will change it ourselves......" Sister Xiaojie's words were inspiring, and Jia Xiaodao, who was sitting in the back row, was somewhat infected. He seemed to have rekindled some courage to struggle.
When Jia Xiaodao listened to Sister Xiaojie's lecture, he unexpectedly found that the beautiful girl who opened the door for him just now was sitting next to him. But she didn't mean to listen. He gently touched the girl's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you listen, you speak very well, much better than the professor at school!" ”
"Hehe, I've heard it many times, hehe!" The girl smiled awkwardly.
Jia Xiaodao continued to listen to Xiaojie's sister teach her "experience" and listened to her play on the spot. Xiaojie spoke sonorously and passionately.
"Jia Xiaodao, you can answer, is the diploma important?" Sister Xiaojie suddenly asked Jia Xiaodao, which caught him off guard and was very surprised.
Jia Xiaodao was stunned for a while, and then replied: "It's important, after all, if you get a diploma in our country and get admitted to a stable unit, you can eat for a lifetime, and you can be basically happy in your old age." Either you can start your own business before the age of 40, and you must also be successful and happy in your old age. If in someone else's business or company, at best, he is an ordinary employee. If the diploma is not enough, it cannot be promoted, and as we get older, and new people enter, we will be gradually left out in the cold, and we will be very unfortunate in our old age. Jia Xiaodao was pessimistic.
"Jia Xiaodao, my sister is now clearly telling you that a diploma is only useful for mediocre people, and for capable people, capable people, and talented people, it is just a piece of paper. How much is a piece of paper worth? Worthless! Look at Mao**, what school, Changsha Normal University. A general teachers' college. But in the end, he didn't become a ****, he became a famous military strategist, writer, and politician. You look at Qi Baishi, what kind of education, primary school diploma, but in the end, he is famous at home and abroad, famous through the ages. Let's talk about the recent Han Han, how is the middle school culture. A nationally renowned writer, race car driver, and opinion leader. Not to mention those entrepreneurs, rich people, they didn't study any bullshit college and undergraduates, but they still got ahead and were admired by thousands of people. So, let me tell you, academic qualifications are not important, what matters is whether you have ideals and whether you have the belief that you want to change your destiny! What is most important in the 21st century tells you, faith! Confucius once said to his disciples that a country can do without an army and without food, but its people cannot do without faith. What is faith, faith is the spiritual support for a nation to survive. Therefore, all of you here, think about whether you have had any ideals since you were a child. It's big, it's old, why haven't they been realized. Do you remember the dreams you had when you were young? Do you still remember the Haikou that the children boasted about when they were at home? Uncle Li, tell me, what was your childhood dream? ”
Uncle Li, who pads his ass with a book, has a full beard. He touched his head a little shyly, and said timidly: "My ideal when I was a child, you all laughed when I talked about it, I want to be a general, go to war, command thousands of troops, make meritorious achievements, and become famous!" ”
"Uncle Li's ideal, good! Great! But why didn't it happen in the end, not because there was no war, not because it was a peaceful era, but because your Uncle Li himself denied himself. It was he himself who killed his dreams! Why, because we are all denying our dreams, we always think that nothing is realistic, it is impossible, but have we really done it? We don't! We haven't been! ”
Sister Xiaojie took another sip of tea, and then wrote two big words "struggle" on the blackboard in front of the stage without knowing what was moved to the stage. She said passionately to everyone, "Now we have to remember the two words on the blackboard, struggle." Just like what Lu Tao said in Shi Kang's TV series, strive for our ideals, strive for our better life in the future, and strive for the value of our life! Everyone said, is this good! When Sister Xiaojie said this, everyone in front of the stage applauded and shouted, "Good, good, good." ”
(5)
Sister Xiaojie's speech made Jia Xiaodao completely impressed. He felt that this was the most passionate and high-level speech he had ever heard in his studies. He believes that letting Sister Xiaojie teach at any university is qualified and level!
Jia Xiaodao thinks that talents, why are they buried in the crowd. It's as if gold is always in the sand. It has to be scooped up.
Why are there still so many stupid people in the school, who still show off their power and stay in the university to mislead people's children, holding their iron rice bowls complacent and self-righteous. However, how many of them really spoke the philosophy of life? Several more provided guidance to students. Most of them had a textbook published in the seventies and eighties, and they were there to read from the textbook, talking about the so-called theories, the so-called advanced knowledge. But it's all fucking useless.
Jia Xiaodao listened to Xiaojie's sister's lecture, and only then did he feel what is real teaching and what is real teaching. He began to think of the famous university in Sichuan where he studied, and when he thought of the Chinese department he studied, he felt too depressed in his heart.
Yes, there is no real writer in the huge Chinese department. It's all about people holding textbooks, like old masters, teaching students how to think, how to create, or spending a lot of time making students sing, dancing, doing student politics, and so on.
In fact, everyone understands that these professors and teachers have published a few books, and the only thing to be proud of is that they have published a few academic papers and queued up to publish them at their own expense with the salary paid by the school. Their books are just under the banner of scientific research funds, and then they strive for some public funds, and then publish them for their own production. Are these so-called theories, so-called researches, really considered contemporary literature? Is it really worth it for literature? Just like a book of "Dream of Red Mansions", there are thousands of researchers, feeding a large number of so-called scholars. If Cao Xueqin had a spirit in the sky, she would not want to see that the novel she had written after she had been poor for most of her life and had worked hard for ten years was studied by a group of rabble, and the research was unrecognizable, and finally became a tool for them to make a living.
Several of these so-called professors have made the slightest contribution to the development of China's cultural undertakings. Their so-called academic papers are not just cobbled together from the Internet, and then add where they are extracted, where they are cited, etc. (to prove that they have consulted a few books, read some materials, to show that they have done some research), and then they beg their father to tell their grandmother, and ask for the sympathy of the editors of several academic journals, and finally give them a few pennies cheaper, and finally publish them, although few people have ever read these academic journals. However, with these so-called teaching and research achievements, they went to the scientific research department to receive bonuses, subsidies, and professional titles.
As soon as Jia Xiaodao thought of this, he remembered that a female teacher in the Propaganda Department once posted a solicitation post on the Internet to seek a paper in order to write a paper for her boyfriend who taught in the Department of Physical Education. In the end, she was soon won by a senior brother in the Chinese Department who was living a tight life, so he put together a 4,000-word academic paper on the Internet and sent it over.
Of course, this senior brother also got the so-called pen fee of 200 yuan, and the teacher of the physical education department took the purchased academic paper and went to the editor of the journal to publish it.
In the end, of course, he also got his wish and gave him the title of chief clerk. Then he sat in the office on his legs and taught his students: "You should study hard and strive to do some academic research." Research is still useful, adding cultural connotation. Therefore, some people in this world don't have red eyes and hearts when they lie, just like Lu Xun's birds and beasts pretend to be serious.
"Mom, the world is so weird!" Jia Xiaodao felt a little angry when he thought of this!
Thinking back to his university, it is a famous brand in Sichuan. The school that more than half of the college entrance examination students dream of, but in Jia Xiaodao's opinion, it is so disappointing! When he saw Sister Xiaojie in front of him, he felt that she was so beautiful.
The light makeup is just right, and the body is so well-proportioned that it makes people reverie. Coupled with the excellent state and feeling of Sister Xiaojie's speech, Jia Xiaodao admired it so much, just like Stephen Chow's classic line in the movie: "My worship of you is like a surging river, endless!" ”
Jia Xiaodao never understood why so many people chased stars, but now he finally knew why. Just like the moment Tang Bohu fell in love with Qiu Xiang, he decided to abandon the privileged life at home and go to Washington to be a handyman, the purpose of which was to make Qiu Xiang smile.
Yes, it's that amazing. Jia Xiaodao deeply realized this, and at this time he fully understood the feelings of the so-called singer fans dying and living for the sake of stars.
Jia Xiaodao feels that Sister Xiaojie is the star in his heart. It's the idol in your heart!
Sister Xiaojie's lecture finally ended, but Jia Xiaodao couldn't come back to his senses. He watched Sister Xiaojie quietly step down, like a nymphomaniac. The admiration for her cannot be broken.
Jia Xiaodao felt what was wrong in his heart. Why didn't I feel this way when I saw Sister Xiaojie at the train station? After listening to Sister Xiaojie's speech, I have a feeling.
Maybe it's because Xiaojie opened the door to his own inferiority complex. Yes, he didn't get his undergraduate degree certificate, how desperate it is for ordinary people. When he was most confused and helpless, it was Sister Xiaoyu's speech that gave him confidence and opened the knot in his heart! Let him out of the desert of disappointment and confusion, into the oasis, into the dense forest......
However, it wasn't until later that Jia Xiaodao understood that Miss's speech was actually brainwashing. Because, there is nothing in the world that is not earned, and there is no such thing as Xiaojie's sister said, success has always been within reach......
